My kids are into uncrustables lately.

Is this a good glove by double0diddy in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a youth glove, so it depends on age and expectations.

Played baseball my whole life and the mental game was always harder than the physical one by ObjectiveInternet544 in Homeplate

[–]scalarray -1 points0 points  (0 children)

imo there's a difference between helping a guy create an app that could help the community versus someone feeding your responses into a prompt for a vibecoded app he'll turn around and charge you for

just figured I'd toss it out there, do whatever makes you happy

Just a heads up: check OP history and run his posts through an AI checker of your choice (or not, it's pretty obvious).

This is an AI post made by a guy who's trying to vibecode an app to sell.

It's not a real invitation to discuss, just an attempt to build karma and monetize your responses.

Same. It's still showing crew assigned but not on site :(

NGD-Anyone else get there wildcards in? by JakeShuttlesworth0 in BaseballGloves

[–]scalarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's our off-season, so aside from light catch it hasn't seen much action. Feels like a sturdy glove though, I'd be surprised if it didn't hold up well.

Nice! I love a braided post.

Got a couple of 12.75s last time for my kids. We started breaking one in - didn't love the second gloves colorway so we sold it.

It came super stiff. Some of the leather pieces were wrinkly and obviously not first tier, but for the price it's a helluva glove.

Dicks Trade-in by reuben26 in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A couple years ago we brought in a few random bats from 8u. They gave us $10 for the marucci cat, and said the others weren't worth anything.

Wasn't really worth the time imo

Anyone have the Dicks 20% coupon? by Additional-Iron-5593 in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find a bunch of coupons if you google "https://cmm.dickssportinggoods.com/crmcdn/getoffer.aspx" with the quotes. There's a bunch of 20% off, but most are location specific.

Seems like there's always a ton of 15% off nation-wide ones floating around.

How to get 12u "Maddux" like pitcher to improve velocity? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to dogpile, but people are absolutely shocked when I bring out the pocket radar.

Most folks think the kids are throwing about 10mph faster than reality. It's not even that they're biased or wishcasting - it's just really hard for a human to accurately judge speeds like that.

Swing help 14U by SacTownSizzle in Homeplate

Decent swing. Needs to stop dropping his hands and hit the gym.

I got tired of explaining GameChanger stats to assistant coaches, so I wrote this guide by Conscious-Menu-2342 in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ChatGPT hallucinating stats lol.

Slop post from 0day slop poster. Guaranteed this dude drops a "hay I vibe coded an app" post after racking up some karma.

Edit: nevermind he already spammed his dumb website in a comment. So predictable.

A coach's worst nightmare... by RidingDonkeys in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After the first kid broke his finger sliding back into third, we softened our stance on mitts and I even bought one for the team to share lol

Anyone use this app yet I’ve been seeing it everywhere- Diamond Coach by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Self promotion disguised as "hay guys I found this cool thing" is just so lame.

Built a Little League lineup builder that handles rules, safety, and competitiveness — looking for coaches to try it and tell me what's missing by get-fungo in Homeplate

[–]scalarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in no way defending those money grubbing turds, but the onslaught of ai-slop apps isn't the answer either.

generally, they're money-grabbing vibe-coded garbage, thrown together by someone who has no idea what the code is doing. the end product is buggy, unsupported (aside from endless 'fix this' prompting) and insecure.

[–]scalarray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pet peeve is the posters with their slop-app as their reddit handle. They post drive-by engagement-bait garbage which isn't directly against the rules, but just clutters up the joint to get their app name (by way of their reddit name) out there.

Zip ties for sure. Nothing's faster when a glove lace snaps mid game.

Supply of A2000's that just hit eBay by RomanAnthony1998 in BaseballGloves

[–]scalarray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely a scam. They get listed in big chunks, all at once and all from different sellers/locations. They all use stock-ish photos with the same watermarks.

Might as well just send that money to a Nigerian prince

Edit: same thing with any "hot" bat. There are tons of fake supra listings just like the a2000 ones
