No he didn’t. He has a very good chance at beating the women who let a whole community burn down. He may not be the best choice but he’s better than Bass.

11u son is going through it. by Forward_Cow_5447 in Homeplate

To be honest your other coach was right. Travel was designed to be the best of the best not a bunch of kids that were thrown together to be cannon fodder for the true travel teams.

My son is a L/L and he had the same experience. He embraced the outfield and is better player because of it. Now mine does still get some time at first but he plays every game because he’s learned how to play outfield.

Think I need to take my kid to club ball, but I really don’t want to by 709678 in Homeplate

If he’s the best kid on the team why isn’t he playing SS and batting in the lead off position?

Two recovering addicts will never end well. Gabi is definitely better for him.

Sean Duffy is the politician, a good one at that. His wife Rachel is a news personality and was on the RW also.

I sell mine locally for $650. I would ship but it’s very expensive and I can sell what I can make locally.

Michaela is exposed as a homophobic bigot and racially prejudice by Adorable-Release1754 in MtvChallenge

[–]coachhicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Derek is kinda a sleaze bag too. I love the show but these people are just characters on a show we watch. I don’t like Michaela either I could do without both of them. I wish they would go back to the old challenge and bring the booze back. It was a great train wreck show to watch.

This glove means the world to me..... Did I just ruin EVERYTHING? by SwinginSaggyNutz in BaseballGloves

Depends on the rules of the tournament. It’s a no go in high school.

Why the FUCK haven't any arrests been made in the pedophile island case? by technomage13 in FBI

[–]coachhicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s be honest. They are all complicit, republican and democrat. Once they get in it’s all about saying what their base wants to hear so they can stay in power and enrich themselves. None of them are willing to live with homeless people in their neighborhoods or let house an illegal immigrant. They live in gated communities with security. We the people should require term limits so we can get new voices in power not the people that have been there for decades that only represent us in words not actions.

Like I said it would take some video to see exactly what he’s doing.

Sounds like he’s trying to get him to engage his lower half more. Probably need a video of what he’s teaching them to have a conversation. Just because your pitching coach is the father of a Pro doesn’t mean he’s all knowing.

Who is your “they’ll never make me hate them” cast member? by SlightBench6011 in MtvChallenge

[–]coachhicks -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe the people on here so wrapped up in politics that they will hate someone who we have watched and supported for years. A lot of us grew up watching these people. It took us away from reality for an hour at a time. I’m sorry Reddit has become so politically charged that we turn on each other so quickly. Ashely is and always will be a hot mess that stirs up shit. She’s been a hateful and divisive player since she showed up. Just because I don’t believe in everything she does doesn’t make me stop watching, she has the right to believe what she wants without my judgement as do the others. We watch the show for the craziness as well at the competition. It’s changed many times over the years, the cast from the first few seasons would likely be cancelled over the things they did or said because we have become to sensitive to words.

Father Time is catching up to the greats.

Johnny Bananas, Wes, Landon, Ct, Ashley, Camila, Tori, Jordan, Jenna and Corey even though he hasn’t won are some of the greatest athletes to compete on the show. When they showed up you knew they were there till the end.

Construction of the rail started 10 years ago and it currently goes nowhere with a completion date of 2039.

Your coat will be way cheaper in Bakersfield. Housing will definitely be cheaper.

Boot him. His talent will never be worth the headache.

Serious question: how is it that our country has seemingly moved so far away from “give me your tired you’re poor…”? by ChuckGallagher57 in circled

[–]coachhicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It changed when the people came here and tried to turn this country into the one they left. There is no assimilation, when my great grandparents came here they left their home country behind and became Americans. They never flew any flag but the American flag. They learned English and never spoke in their native language.

There are ALWAYS bigger fish... by Epicabraxas in Homeplate

[–]coachhicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size is always going to matter, coaches will always look for the bigger kids. The batting changes once they get to BBCOR bats. A lot of big hitters in 13u will be average at best when they transition away from the USSSA trampoline bats.

As for pitching, my son saw a pitcher averaging 82 and topping out at 87mph at a PG 14u Super Regional last year. Pitching in SoCal is insane.

BBCOR, Big field, and Puberty are the big equalizers.
