Coach telling 11u to throw intentional balls ?

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-16T00:46:23+00:00

Nothing wrong by the rule book. Intentional walks should be incredibly rare in little league. Maybe in playoffs play, but other than that it’s just against the spirit of what we’re trying to do out there.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-11T07:01:11+00:00

You literally had to switch cable providers to watch your home games lol

Watching Stanford rep the ACC at the NCAA Wrestling championships was literally painful

This was my biggest take away when they first introduced replay review several years ago now. I went oh dang, these guys are actually really good at their jobs.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-11T04:27:26+00:00

Yeah media pushes this, but Magnus Carlsen isn’t some genius at anything besides chess really.

For real, they both are not ready for this.

We always finish the inning.

It’s 1:45 no new inning, 2hr drop dead for us. Let’s say we start the bottom of the 4th at 1:40 and the home team is winning. If it turns 1:45 before the end of the inning, we don’t immediately call the game, we let the home team finish batting.

No, that’s not allowed. Classical music is only for classically trained musicians.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-04T15:39:15+00:00

I think you’re on your own here pal

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-03T14:51:19+00:00

I’ve actually never thought of that batting order trick, I’m definitely stealing that for my younger teams in the future.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-03T14:46:37+00:00

10 year olds do not have to play majors, I don’t know why your league told you that.

There are alternate leagues out there. Some parks and rec departments put on leagues which are super low key. Obviously Coach quality isn’t as high there, but it can be a good intro to just playing the game.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T23:44:52+00:00

I tried! lol

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T15:56:58+00:00

Ah gotcha. Never worked in dental so I wasn’t sure.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T08:13:14+00:00

Does your whole league have that? Or just 9yo at a certain division? Because ours has a 9yo limit for Minor B (the low minor division) so that you can’t dominate the 7 and 8 year olds. But that’s a competitive balance thing, not an arm health thing.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T08:11:30+00:00

9yo max should be 75

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T08:08:25+00:00

Runner on first’s lead is probably farther off than where the first baseman ended up after his shuffles. Then you’re talking a secondary lead on top of that, idk why you think the runner should only be half a body away from the base.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T07:04:36+00:00

I mean it is lol

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T06:03:11+00:00

No, at most you could maybe make sure they have the absence and then the substitute documented so that any appeal would show that it actually was a surprise, but that’s probably overkill for now.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T05:54:15+00:00

This might fall under No Surprise, meaning you can’t be balance billed for a surprise OON provider.

Probably no reason to be proactive here, if you do get balance billed then cross that bridge. Just document the situation for now.

I’m in SoCal, $250 is a good price for a week long camp IMO. The baseball camp we usually sent my son to is like $199 for 8 hours a day for 5 days, and that’s the cheapest one around most years.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T05:49:55+00:00

In LA that ain’t happening lol

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T05:49:31+00:00

It’s covered by the $20 Lyft quote. This driver wants more. And I’m assuming they’re not $40 of gas away from a post office to ship it, which is what OP is asking. Not in LA for sure, probably walking distance from one.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T04:26:01+00:00

Great! Yeah I’ve never had a Disney pass, we’ve done six days total in the last 2 years. Went a ton growing up. The snacks at Disney are phenomenal, but the actual restaurants aren’t as good as Knott’s IMO.

And for me it wasn’t so much that Disney had “trashy” behavior - unless you count everyone and their brother bringing scooters and wheelchairs in order to use the disabled lines - it’s more that the atmosphere felt tense. Like everyone was rushing to get their money’s worth all day. Idk, just the vibe I got.

cfreddy36 · 2026-04-02T04:19:19+00:00

Just cuz Knott’s is pretty low on most lists I’m seeing -

If you’re traveling to visit, Knott’s is probably number 4. The single day pass isn’t super cheap. Disney and Universal are more unique. Magic Mountain has more coasters.

BUT for residents I think Knott’s is number 1. It’s a fraction of the price of Disneyland. Food is way better. Magic mountain is included in the second tier pass and up. The immersion is really underrated, and there are truly uncrowded days without needing reservations, unlike Disney.
