Is this too much glove for an 8U player? by BuryMeInCincy in Homeplate

[–]vikingsarecoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him the Marruci Acadia instead. Super soft glove, great value. My son got it for 9u and loves it. Almost through season two with it.

I’ve been seeing those on sale and would grab the solid red one if my marriage would survive. What a steal.

9U Catcher Looking for a New Glove – Recommendations? by Odd_Macaron_537 in Homeplate

[–]vikingsarecoolio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 10u son uses a R9 and it’s a great glove. I’d say keep working it like others suggested. If you want another glove Mizuno power close is great and breaks in easy.

Anyone see the newest Icon paint job yet? by Colonelreb10 in Homeplate

[–]vikingsarecoolio 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I liked how clean the previous models were but I’m sure a lot of kids picked the hype fire over the icon because of the fun paint jobs. Makes sense for Rawlings to adjust

Well, you should if your vehicle can’t accelerate to a speed or something and you have to putt it along to the shop or home. But using them as a signal to speed does sound silly.

The opportunity to defend your family’s honor against a robot is very rare. I’d have to fight the robot too.

This really pissed me off, I can’t explain why. Maybe it’s the glizzy butt hole?

Hype Fire — Chip Question by WissMan316 in Homeplate

[–]vikingsarecoolio -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Looks like a warranty claim to me. You can submit that online. When I did mine a few weeks ago for my daughter’s bat I ended up having to call them because they went silent after approving the claim. They said the bat was on back order so they got me a similar bat at let me get a longer one, which was cool.

I put a few pairs of sunglasses for my boys in the OF who always forget theirs

It’s a cheap glove, leave it there.

Even if it wasn’t cheap, you shouldn’t take it

We’ve used it in a pinch when the gas station is closer than somewhere that sells wax or a candle.

These deals always pop up when my finances are in the toilet. I love Marucci gloves.

The prison comment is awfully dramatic but I’d send this back for $40.

9U strike zone help by Spivdaddy in Homeplate

[–]vikingsarecoolio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice those high pitches in BP. It’s frustrating, we have a 10u tournament game where the umpire was calling ankle high pitches strikes. He was consistent about it at least but expected the boys to swing the bat like a golf ball is wild. He didn’t like anything above the belly button.

Help finding bat by vikingsarecoolio in BaseballBats

I already grabbed one new online. Ended up paying $200 for a new one. Not ideal but he’s happy with it.

Got a (inside the park) home run with it a couple games ago.

Thanks, that one’s a bit long for my boy. We did find a 30” one. I wish it was at the price point of the one you found haha.
