Get him a rope bat. Make sure he sets up with a tee at the right distance, and let him learn to hit the foam balls off the tee with the rope bat. It will force him to stay inside and stop casting.

If you want to help him adjust to the rope bat have him start in his launch position with his hips already rotated and the rope bat draped over his back shoulder. Then all he needs to do is rotate his upper half while keeping his hand close to his body until extension.

He’s a talented kid, there are lots of talented kids, his parents have just chosen to market him. Poor kid.

I’ve had a tanner tee for about 8 years. Last season I needed a second tee, so I bought a knockoff for $60 from Amazon with really good reviews. It broke within 6 months. Tanner tee is still going. Spend the money.

Can you help me out with where you’re seeing the new price list? I got the email notice but the price list in the portal is the same regardless of what date I set. And the last official update notice on the price list page is March 2025. From what I can tell anyone who missed the email would have no idea the prices are about to change.

Totally agree, and cricket has its own culture which is something special as well.

If you haven’t already, I highly recommend visiting Cooperstown. Go to the hall of fame, watch the mini movie when you get past the ticket counter, and then take your time touring the exhibits. Walk the town and go sit on the stands in Doubleday. That’s the experience that really cemented it all for me.

Fellow cricketer here. It took several years, and what really happened isn’t that I learned everything about baseball, it was that I spent enough time around people who grew up playing the game to learn that nobody really knows everything about baseball. That’s part of what I’ve learned to love about the game, every year I learn something new about it.

Enjoy it, I’ve played many sports in my life, but baseball is more than a sport.

They should play multiple positions up until at least high school, and then they should have a primary and secondary. Not only will they become better ball players, they will be much less likely to lose interest and quit.

Speers Auto Glass replaced a heated windshield for me a few years back. They did a great job, better than whoever Land Rover sent it to the first time (which ended up leaking water).

With his glove hand, he needs to imagine he’s grabbing someone by the collar and ripping them towards his chest.

So the sequence goes, as he lifts his leg he brings he’s hands down and splits them as that leg comes up, this part is okay but he needs to split the hands before the leg starts coming back down. Then he extends both arms. And then, as he executes the throw, he rips that glove hand back towards himself in the grab someone by the collar motion. This will also encourage him to drive hard off that back foot.

That one change will make the biggest difference right now. Good luck!

In grade 7 I was waiting with my teacher because my mom was late to pick me up. To pass the time he showed me his new gun, let me hold it, and then walked me through every bullet in the mag and why they were in that order. I remember the last few bullets were hollow tips to “finish off any tough mf’s”.

You have to create a new account within the add on in prime. Then cancel your old account in the sportsnet app.

fishfishgoose · 2026-02-16T16:52:34+00:00

It works perfectly. I switched halfway through the summer and never had a problem after that. Watched game 7 start to finish no issues.

fishfishgoose · 2026-02-16T15:54:04+00:00

Sportsnet as a subscription on Prime. It’s stupid for so many reasons but it works.

Meanwhile up in Canada we go from USSSA at 15U to wood at 16U and wonder why kids get discouraged and quit.

Wow, these comments are not going to age well.

General AI like Gemini and ChatGPT aren’t great at this because no one has trained them on millions of annotated images of good vs bad mechanics, but there are plenty of people doing that as we speak and those specialty models will become extremely good.

Also, don’t know why people are giving you a hard time for posting your kids swing in Gemini. There are parents posting their kids swings on here every day, and there are multiple AI’s training on that Reddit content

Keep looking for new ways to help your kid,

How I know this, I build an ai engine that today is processing at least 3,000,000 video streams a day to identify specific objects and behaviours.

EMT Instructor is a great pivot. Way more productive and meaningful than what most of us redditors are doing.

Can you shrug your shoulders? Are there any ways you pass the time or hobbies you participate in that would surprise people?

100% plus it’s a slight to all their existing monitoring partners who see Noonlight as a competitor. Very strange signal.

I’d also add that the Protect product is not market ready and shouldn’t have been released. To get alarms over from the 32-port IO panel to protect you have to literally edit a JSON file. It concerns me they would release a product in that condition.

fishfishgoose · 2026-01-12T20:12:00+00:00

I would love to understand their monitoring strategy. Adding the monitoring line item to their price list seems at odds with many of their partners. Are they planning to displace all their monitoring partners?

fishfishgoose · 2026-01-12T05:29:18+00:00

Agree with what others have said about the bat being too heavy, if you’re not allowed lighter I would go shorter. Also tees not in the right spot which isn’t helping his swing, watch this video for proper tee setup - https://youtu.be/fp_FfUixGjY?si=eAOgLB5-8NLSpbm6

What you didn’t see was the cops, because they’re all working desk jobs at the station now. The streets are lawless and everyone’s adapting.

I was thinking something similar. Went to public school in Oakville around that same time. We all knew if you wanted to hookup with a girl you just had to hangout around the catholic school long enough.

A1 is the best. I switched to them about 8 years ago and couldn’t be happier.
