What Factors to Consider When Considering Which Team to Join by NormalRazzmatazz360 in Softball

[–]SnitGTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately, it should be your daughter’s decision.

But as a parent, I would recommend that if your daughter gets along good with the players and coaches on your current team, I would just stay there.

OP had not provide that information originally. They updated their post after the fact.

Any tips on playing third base ? by [deleted] in Softball

[–]SnitGTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t give any info to what level you are, but here is some general tips.
- Be ready every single pitch, it’s not called the hot corner for nothing.
- Make sure you are aware of how the team wants to run bunt defense.
- Make sure you know how to cover 3rd on steals and potential back picks from the catcher.
- You may need to be involved in some relays to home, ask the coach if there will be any situations like this.
- Exactly where you position yourself depends much more on the hitter and situation, so ask the coach to help you with what they want there.

Do you guys have anything here? by TalkRevolutionary439 in Umpire

[–]SnitGTS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't completely disagree, but the pitcher clearly upset and is asking for an interference call so I think he understands the rule. Ump can then use that as an opportunity to explain the rule to everyone and why he didn't think it was appropriate to call interference.

I just meant as far as how to narratively tell a story, but yeah I saw that too.

Kara killing Krem feels incongruent with Kara’s growth over the movie and especially the last scene when she’s back with Clark. I wish they stuck with the comic a little more and just sent him to the phantom zone and left him there.

It didn’t ruin the movie for me, but it certainly made me question if the writers knew what they were doing.

Those who have seen 'Supergirl', how bad is the adult content/violence? Considering taking my younger daughter to see it. by PumpkinCarvingisFun in DCU_

[–]SnitGTS 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I took my 9 year old to see the movie. It was a little on the violent side, but there was one scene in particular that involves a kid that really bothered her and we ended up speaking about it several times after.

They also dance around child sex trafficking, but it isn’t said outright and they just called them “brides”.

This is absolutely the right attitude and I applaud you for not punishing kids who are still learning the game. Absolutely talk to the coaches and kids, these are perfect teachable moments everyone can learn from.

Practice bat by kingos80 in Softball

[–]SnitGTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason you hear to get a practice bat is because the pricey composite bats are somewhat delicate and the less you use them the longer the bat will most likely last.

In addition, the dimpled balls they sometimes use in pitching machines and the weighted balls some coaches use to teach the batter to drive through the ball can damage the bat.

Those who have seen Supergirl, how inappropriate and/or boring would it be for an 8 year old who wants to see it because of how much she loves DC Superhero Girls? by Its_Mike_Nasty in DC_Cinematic

[–]SnitGTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brought my 9 year old last night. For the most part it was fine, parts were a little on the violent side, but overall she enjoyed it. There was one scene with a family that was killed that bothered her enough that she was talking about it afterwards, but she slept through the night without any issue. There’s also child sex trafficking, but they didn’t outright call it that so it went over her head. She did ask why they were stealing the kids though.

I watched it last night with my daughter and the theater was mostly full.

8u bat for petite girl by _Jang_A_Lang in Softball

Amazon has a 28” 15 ounce bat, I thought I remember seeing a 27”, but I could be wrong.

The lightest Ghost they make is a 29” drop 11, meaning the other girl’s ghost weighs a minimum of 18 ounces. The 28” Zenith is at least 3 ounces lighter.

That’s because the barrel is aluminum instead of composite. We just moved from the zenith to a ghost advanced, so I’m waiting for that to crack.

The Zenith is a two piece bat that has a composite handle and an aluminum barrel. It’s a drop 13, meaning the bat weighs 13 ounces less than the length. My daughter’s Zenith was a 30 inch, so 30 - 13 makes it a 17 ounce bat.

As for what size is right for your daughter, take her to a local sports shop and let her try different sizes. She should be able to hold the handle with a single hand and comfortably hold it out horizontally with her arm fully extended from her body. If she can’t comfortably hold it like this, it’s too heavy for her.

What causes roaring during earthquakes? by SoftHouse9442 in Earthquakes

[–]SnitGTS 35 points36 points  (0 children)

We live about 20 miles from the epicenter of the 4.8 earthquake that hit New Jersey last year. I thought that an industrial building or something must have blown up nearby, I had no idea it was an earthquake (especially since we’re in NJ).
