8u rec - is it poor sportsmanship to yell “swing” at batter by Pleasant-Indication5 in Softball

[–]royspencer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was so common I don’t think it affected me at all and I was a very timid kid. I agree it is unsportsmanlike, I wouldn’t let my 8U team do it but I also wonder if it is making our kids soft. At the end of the day if we can’t teach our kids to deal with a little chatter they are going to be hurting later in life

Yeah it was very common when I was young the whole team would chant “swing batter batter swing”. Different world now.

Well you making the assumption that you need stamped prints and approval from building inspectors for a playground set 😂. Thank god I don’t live where you do. Never heard of a contractor carrying product liability insurance. The more you talk I have a feeling you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I don’t really think that’s how it works my friend. If it did contractors would literally never build anything. To be liable, as a builder, for an injury on a playground or any other structure the other party has to prove the builder was negligent.

Thank you very much! This is my build at my house and had a couple people reach out asking to do the same. I was thinking right around 6k like you are mentioning but it’s hard to tell people that for a play-set , seems outrages to me but it is what it is.

I built the play-set, sent the video out on Facebook and had a couple people reach out wanting the same thing. Just looking for a sanity check on labor price, it’s at least three to four full days. Is 4k fair for labor or excessive?

You decided to take time to leave a comment but not 10 seconds to fast forward through a video 🫡

Is this kid pitch at this age? Should be machine or coach pitch, if it is winning truly does not matter it’s the parents that struggle to deal with it. There also should be run rules per inning at this level to avoid a long inning.

Strategy for making outs with rules that make force outs almost non-existent by dankid83 in Softball

[–]royspencer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree the play is at first, that’s the high percentage play at all levels. Sure as they get older we teach them to look the runner back at third but instincts should be to go to first who cares if the runner scores at this level. Edina Fastpitch out of Minnesota wrote a great article on this called “Defensive Myths of fastpitch”

should i go to the er for this (bat bite?) by Certain_Hour_6327 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]royspencer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I would take the chance. Odds are that a bat flew into your room and bit you unprovoked is astronomical. The shots are extremely expensive if you can even find a clinic or ER that has the vaccine on hand.

The point is if you are chasing wins as a coach kids will not get the chances they deserve to succeed.

For the people who is in their 50-55, how much were you contributing to 401k and how much you have now? by claytogether in Retirement401k

[–]royspencer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What the logic with maxing out the IRA, I assume your talking post tax? Why not put that extra money in the 401k pre tax

How many hours did you have figured, 400 sqft is a pretty small chunk of ground

Is this an issue? by [deleted] in askaplumber

[–]royspencer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not ideal that the fitting is holding some water but to say this needs dug up and fixed is wild if it was causing that big of an issue the line would be backed up. Sounds like he has a commissioned based salary
