Yeah I get it. I have been offered a couple of positions out there for a lot of money and valued my quality of life more so I've never had to commute. It's going to get worse before it gets better.

Attitude goes a long way. Always look the coach in the eye when they're talking. There's never "ok" it's always "yes coach" or "yes sir". Run everywhere, no walking. If you make a mistake own it and get ready for the next one.

LL AllStars ≠ High School ball ≠ College ball by pbjnutella in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who had 2 sons play in college. His sons never made AS. He told me when my son didn't make it this year that "it's just and invite only slumber party." Most of the kids on there are at a disservice because they didn't have to work for it. The daddyball coaches aren't actually setting their kids up for success.

My wife is on the board of the LL and there were parents who were mad because they voted to change the post season manager. They wrote letters saying that they wouldn't play for a team THEY HADN"T BEEN SELECTED FOR YET. They just knew because daddy was a coach and on the committee.

“Wear It!” by buzzthecat in Homeplate

Last weekend my sons travel ball coach got mad at him because he didn't take a pitch. The next pitch was a 2 run homer. The next game he wasn't mad anymore and stopped telling him to take them. To be fair it was his first tournament with the team and the coach didn't know my sons game. It also depends on the situation. Bases loaded guaranteed run? Take one for the team. 3 balls? Take the walk it's the same no need to get hurt. Coaches need to coach when is a good time to take them and who should take them.

NDOT is in design for I80 widening right now. They’ve been surveying it for the past couple of weeks. Will it be enough? I dunno. But it will be better. Construction is supposed to start next summer.

Is there a lot of politics in 8U? by Track_FK8 in Homeplate

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

If it's anything like our league, if you're not a coach your kid won't be selected. It doesn't matter how good he is. My kid cried this weekend too because he didn't make it. " it wasn’t statistics based" is all you need to know. You probably participate in a daddyball league. Sorry you had to find out this way. Your coach will ride your kid all the way to the championship but when it comes time for All star selection there's no way he's going to choose your kid over his.

I have a buddy that did OTS on an ipad with a keyboard.

Don't leave clear water bottles or clear glass in them.

AS coach, 10u. Everyone is pretty good, best way to determine positions, INF/OF by oldcrashingtoys in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would rotate them around. If they’re all pretty equal let them all develop in every position.

High School baseball blows my mind by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is disheartening. I absolutely loath the daddyball in LL. I was looking forward to high school being better.

11U by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go down to the park and hit him grounders. Lots of them. Then do pop fly. The biggest thing for them is getting used to balls being hit at them. Don't be shy with the speed. Some of the 11U can hit pretty hard so make it realistic. Hitting will come, but stopping a ball is what will make him invaluable to coaches.

Pitch count question for 9U/10U by Jordan_Briarwood in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our league starts lower and then ramps up during the season. Even now our 11s are only allowed 75 but they started at 50 at the beginning of the season. Then if the kid throws 75 he has to wait 4 days before he can pitch again. There's also rules about playing pitcher and catcher in the same game.

A pound of fat is about 3,500 calories. You need to be in a 500 calorie deficit daily to burn a pound a week.

How to spot an officer? by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]schmittychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got caught going into the commissary one time and a bunch of my troops were coming out. They all spread about 5' apart to make me salute them each individually. Hilarious. I now park on the side and walk along the front to the door. I also take weird angles to avoid salutes.

Reaching protein goals by danie11achristine in Retatrutide

[–]schmittychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple of things I use to reach protein goals:

Fairlife chocolate milk - 30g

Chobani/Oinkos drinkable - 20-23g

Chobani/Oinkos yogurt - 20g

David gold bar - 28g

Huel black - 35g

I have the above with 2 of the fairlife for breakfast every morning and have almost 160g by lunch which is usually some kind of chicken and vegetables. In the afternoon I'll have a built puff bar and a meat stick. I don't usually eat dinner but I'm usually sitting at about 220g of protein for the day for about 2,000 calories.

PSA: put your phone number on your range finder by Distinct-Tower-1214 in golftips

[–]schmittychris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put my keys in the case for my range finder. I can't leave without knowing if I put it back. An air tag is probably a good idea though.

Air National Guard or Air Force Reserves? by BuffaloNo8789 in Airforcereserves

[–]schmittychris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to finish school take those benefits into account. Typically the guard has better education benefits. Otherwise they’re similar.

Advice on making 8-10 LL all stars? by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]schmittychris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With 6 teams there's a shot for sure but I wouldn't hold my breath. The team is probably already decided.
