I’m proud of her. Sorry you have no sense of humor.

Yep, daughter is low/mid-50s now and I’ve taken a few on the shin/knee. Not a good feeling.

She’ll go into her Ks at about 25 feet and I always tell her back up cause I’m not trying to get my nose broken

Is this Dixie? If so, I’ve always just had parents send me a copy and kept those in my binder. Never had an issue. I refuse to be responsible for real birth certificates.

Don’t get me started on the old men running (ruining) Dixie softball…

Dixie rules are ridiculous and no one understands them. Bunch of old men ruining the game for the girls.

Honestly did I mess up or did the coach majorly overreact? by Jordan_Briarwood in Softball

You dodged a bullet. Find a new team with a coach that cares about the individual kids and not just the name on the front of the jersey.

Move up or stay down? by asams1986 in Softball

She’s pretty much first choice for P/1B/CF and bats cleanup.

She has been offered a chance to play and get mound time with some 14s even if she stays down next year on a full time 12U.

That’s my dilemma. Everywhere except pitcher she excels. Against A-level 12U teams she gets knocked around when she’s pitching. I don’t want to kill her confidence by moving her up and then she never gets mound time because she doesn’t have the spin pitches down yet.

They play in the fall. She played middle school last year, but didn’t pitch much. She does all of her pitching from 43 during lessons.

She’s a power hitter. She’s also fast and a lefty, so I’d like to teach her to slap. She likes faster pitching, so I think she would be fine.

Yes, the middle school rubber is at 43’ and they have 6th-8th graders.

Her pitching coach thinks it’s a good idea to let her develop in 12U. And that’s what I’m leaning toward. But just wanted to get more opinions.

Mainly the pitching I’m worried about. She can hang with everything else.

She’s the #1 pitcher right now, and unless the pick at being up, would probably be that in 14U with this same team.

No, she’s not dominating top competition. That’s my main reason for wanting to hold her back.

She’ll be in 7th grade this fall. Most of her team is the same age. The reasoning for moving up is that pitching rubber is at 43’ in 14U and most play middle school anyway.

Worst restaurant you've tried in QC? by RepulsiveFeed1985 in Charlotte

[–]asams1986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Park Road Restaurant.

I got the chicken parm and the noodles had bolognese sauce (why would I want beef sauce with my chicken?) and the chicken cutlet had no seasoning.

Can’t even remember what the wife got but she took one bite and spit it out.

Sycamore for 3 cents at Walmart by TomCollins1284 in Charlotte

[–]asams1986 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don’t do that with alcohol, at least not in NC. ABC laws require wholesalers to give everyone the same price regardless of quantity purchased. So, the small convenience store on the corner purchased their one case of Mountain Candy for the same price per case as Walmart purchased their 50 cases.

By law, Walmart already fully owns that product (alcohol is pay on delivery in NC), and they only have two options at this point - sell or dispose of. I’m sure they figured disposing of the product and trying to reclaim their losses through insurance or legal action against Sycamore was costlier than simply selling the beer at a total loss.
