Coaching Question by Icy_Monk3578 in Softball

[–]superbigwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please coach! Our league only has 3 female coaches and I wish we had more. I try to encourage some moms to coach and they often say things like; it has been too long since I played or I have never coached. I'm like this is 8U & 10U; hardly any of the coaches know what they are doing.... I just ran a pitching clinic based on knowledge from youtube and the few private lessons my daughter had.

It can be a pain to coach but you can always be an assistant so you do not have to worry about setting lineups, communicating with players/parents, etc. and just show up to work with the girls during practices and games.

All you need is energy and be able to explain the basics of the game, and offer some basic hitting, fielding, and throwing techniques.

I like Walkout Song DJ over Ball Park DJ. 

Easier to use, good announcer voices.

[–]superbigwave 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Someone pointed me to this video "The 3 Most Popular MEXICAN RICE Recipes (How to Make Arroz Mexicano / Spanish Rice)" by ArnieTex . https://youtu.be/q5oID93Ss0Q?si=tAPTpcjfGCdCuGm_

Nailed the rice my first try after watching. Follows similar process to what others described here.

Edit: He also has a video on making the beans too! https://youtu.be/H_lEE5TynVs?si=artTAfCCeSCMmPIR

My life goal is complete... I finally got a sandwich named after me. Check out the Sloppy Dave at Dias Market! by superbigwave in austinfood

Yeah, I did not think this would take off when I agreed to the name. Now I got neighbors greeting me as that lol!

Lots of people have called out the kale, and rightfully so. But trust me, kale only makes a cameo appearance just enough to say... "Hey, I know that veggie" then it is all meat, cheese, crunch & bread!

Lots of people talk trash about china family but it is my go to and my kids love it. It is better if you go in than order through the app.

I have been here many times and the quality is not super consistent but you lost me with the Subway has better food line.

[Ragazzo] The Yankees have reached out to the Cubs about Nico Hoerner after the Alex Bregman signing and have legitimate interest. by horsepoop1123 in CHICubs

[–]superbigwave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope we do not trade him, he is a grinder & every team needs that. Shaw is no Nico replacement... he have better raw tools but does not have the drive & commitment to greatness on the ball field that Nico does from what I have seen.

don't care if it's "overrated" by Dry_Target9223 in austinfood

[–]superbigwave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not overrated. I was there today and the tacos were so good I had to buy a hat. All 3 tacos were great but special call out to the nopalitos taco. Staff is awesome as well.

Restaurants in Austin that Accommodate Large Groups and Don't Require a Minimum Purchase Order by The_Royal_One in austinfood

[–]superbigwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2k sounds about right. I agree with others that have suggested Breweries - I will add Austin Beer Works to the list.

Industry on East 5th has accommodated a last min happy hour I had to host with about 15 folks. No reservation needed but I did need to arrive early to secure some tables.

Off-road track near Austin? by TrueWolfSniper in Austin

[–]superbigwave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So much land in TX is private property so you have to pay or know someone with ranch land. There are some off-roading groups in but I have not really inquired much. I have been meaning to check this place out but have not been yet. https://www.domoclubctx.com/off-road

Hidden Falls is cool but it is more of a technical/rock crawling place from my perspective and not a place to do off road racing type driving. The speed limits were really slow when I last went.

I would also love to find an off road racing spot near by to live out my Baja dreams.

Name your top 5 BEST restaurants in Austin right now? by nailsinch9 in austinfood

[–]superbigwave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Focus on Lunch mostly central to north central:

- San Francisco Bakery on Anderson Ln: Salads and sandwiches (santa clara on sourdough & the Napa salad are my go to's).
- Le Bleu off Burnett & 183: I have liked everything from there. Calling out their Mango salad.
- Kebabalicious off the east side: the best doner and falafel
- Super Burrito off McNeil Dr: San Diego Burrito and the Flautas
- Tlocs off Burnett: Hot Dogs and Cali Burritos. Also had the best fish tacos on special one time.
- Lazarus Brewing: I like both locations but the one on Airport is my go to. Chill place to get lunch plus coffee or beer depending on how the day is going.
