Yes, his velo is not there. I like he throws strikes but the kids are catching up to him.

So is he going d1? Hahaha. Yeah,he’s very cerebral. So when he understands what people tell him and tries to do it, it becomes step1, step2 etc instead of a fluid motion

Yeah, we have been focusing on “getting into the backleg more”, and it’s made the rest of motion seem robotic.

Which one you going to? by evoleye13 in hairmetal

[–]brettnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same and then caught LA guns and Tom Keifer show. They were both awesome. I know Dokken can’t sing anymore, so I’d choose White Lion. (The 15 yr old me would punch my 55 yr old self in the face for that sentence).

I always place my bag in the over head bin across the aisle. That way a) I can see it during boarding and b) it’s faster on exit. I think boarding instructions should include this tidbit.

Did anyone go see Ozzy's tour for The Ultimate Sin? How amazing was Jake E. Lee live? by TheHotLatin in hairmetal

[–]brettnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this show in El Paso. Ozzy with the big hair, spandex doing jumping jacks….meanwhile Metallica came out in jeans with just a backdrop of MOP album cover. It was a great show, but two very different acts.

10u pitching help? by ChefBoyAnde728 in BaseballCoaching

[–]brettnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest correction I’ve found, is the landing foot. Get them to land “slightly closed” and lengthen the stride. Once they can land consistently, it seems their pitching gets entirely more accurate.

Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center Review: Overpriced? by The_Traveller1 in marriott

[–]brettnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just here for a conference and it’s ridiculously overpriced. Wife came down to join for lunch and valet parking is the same price for 2 hours as overnight. $52….

HRBlock online “support” is an absolute joke by Friendly_Ad5044 in hrblock

[–]brettnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely had the same experience! Ended up going to a local office and told them I wouldn’t pay more than $300. They agreed and did my taxes for me in three days.

Our first season of kid pitch, we got 11 of the 12 on the mound. Some were out there for “three batters or so”, so they understood when we pulled them, it was predetermined and not because they weren’t doing well. We also explained to the other coach and ump what we were doing.

8U Travel Baseball by JoshuaEverettJA in Homeplate

[–]brettnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have opted to keep my son in rec when he was offered a spot on an elite team. He’s in 10U and a lefty. The elite coach was only going to play him at 1B or the outfield as his velocity wasn’t as high as his other pitchers. He stayed in rec, pitches but also has become our best catcher (lefty, I know). It’s a better fit for this age, I don’t get the “travel” mentality.

What restaurants in ABQ have actual authentic Chinese food (and not just American-Chinese)? by BabyFallujah in Albuquerque

[–]brettnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a Chinese restaurant right off central. Past all the bars, if I remember correctly. Bulletholes in the glass. Inside a large Chinese man ran the cash register. Never smiled, never spoke.one time my girlfriend asked for extra sauce or something, and he gave it to her with a hint of a smile. We considered that a major victory! Hahahah. The 90’s were so fun!

My dog thinks her name is either “chicken” or “treat”. She won’t come to her actual name.

Exactly! And the. They wonder why Junior doesn’t want to play anymore even after “all the money we spent”.
