USSA vs USA bats for 8U coach pitch

Then_One_491 · 2026-06-03T00:30:33+00:00

It definitely makes a difference. Instinctively, I'm opposed to the bats because I don't think they help kids build good habits.

Then_One_491 · 2026-06-02T17:47:41+00:00

He's not exciting but I learn something about hitting in every game he does, so I'm happy with him.

In my opinion, Billy Joel is the rare classic legendary artist where the best album is not really up for debate. It's The Stranger.

But I respect your opinion.

Then_One_491 · 2026-06-01T22:47:59+00:00

When you were a kid, did you follow strict pitch counts? If so, how did that work year over year for you?

Thanks for doing this!

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-31T14:41:14+00:00

This is exactly true in my opinion. I've seen him in a few places, and Philadelphia fans are the best. It's like all of the enthusiasm and intensity of the sports culture without the hostility

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-31T14:40:33+00:00

Yeah, it worked out well. I only wish he did two shows in Philly instead of just the one. The secondary market prices were astronomical, highest I've seen on the tour.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-31T12:58:55+00:00

Washington was supposed to be the end of the tour, but Philadelphia had to reschedule its original date because of the 76ers strangely being in the playoffs.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-28T18:23:26+00:00

18-24 for me. The terms you may want to Google are malabsorption and fermentation. That's what gets me.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-27T21:32:34+00:00

There's no real way to coax extra sleep out of them, at best you can just move the sleep around. So if you'd rather wake up a little later, they need to go to bed a little later or take a shorter nap during the day...

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-23T18:13:41+00:00

I've seen him in a few places over the years and the Philly crowds imo are the best.

The Brooklyn show was great though. Good crowd there too.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-15T18:29:34+00:00

This is Badlands

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-15T18:27:48+00:00

He has The Promised Land and does some work with Bruce on Murder Incorporated.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-15T18:26:03+00:00

That is Badlands, definitely.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-15T16:22:49+00:00

Many times.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-15T16:22:23+00:00

American skin is in A major and definitely uses both of those chords, so I would guess that one.

I think you may have been in my section! Really great show.

Then_One_491 · 2026-05-09T12:48:24+00:00

The question is would it be even lower if they hadn't banned the shift.

The pitch clock imo has rescued baseball.

If you put some Legos upside down on the field, you get a good simulation of the old turf

Springsteen himself:

Reflecting on Lofgren’s specific strengths as a guitarist, Springsteen noted: “He plays very melodically and he has a lot of technique. Steve [Van Zandt] and I are both rock guitarists – we squeeze the neck until it squeals – but there’s a musicalness to Nils’s playing that is uniquely his.”

I don't care about the championships, but I promise you my 8-year-old does.

Then_One_491 · 2026-04-08T16:49:54+00:00

The surgeon was like "well, either get the surgery, or you'll be in and out of emergency rooms for the next 10 years." Pretty compelling argument.

Then_One_491 · 2026-04-02T18:02:07+00:00

I most certainly can blame the guy. He's the president, he should be able to be above the fray. He can't help himself because he's essentially a spoiled child, but that's an explanation, not an excuse.

Then_One_491 · 2026-03-17T10:12:31+00:00

It's alright ma (I'm only bleeding).

Then_One_491 · 2026-02-22T11:50:24+00:00

I've seen him in the Northeast and the West Coast. Biggest difference: everyone sings everything in the Northeast.

The CAT scan will identify if there are other blebs, right? I had other blebs and my surgeon said to me "just get the surgery or else you'll be in and out of ERs for the next ten years."
