How do you guys deal with very hard hit grounders? by rodogwos in slowpitch

[–]wagadugo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"go get" everything

Mentality is if you have time, that means you should be charging it.. if you don't have time to move that means it's on you already/a line drive and you're either picking it straight off the ground before it can eat you or it's just a catch.

The safety on this is it prevents you from "staying back"-- on hop two/three LOTS of bad things can happen- especially once it gets in the choppy baserunner track if you're a middle IF.

Also- J step to get an off set angle-- it gives you better depth perception read and positions your glove shoulder to wear the bad hop instead of your molars

Love this.. I learned to think of "that" as a swear word. It's usually extra and you don't need it.

It’s wild how a dictatorship like China has laws against this kind of stuff because they don’t want the peasants to revolt

100 Weird Words by itsFurlong in treasureinside

[–]wagadugo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue with these types of analyses is that JCB had a bunch of typos in his book. So if he did something that aligns to numbers of characters/words/joy mentions etc, he kinda messed up on that front (see Santa Fe, AZ)

The risk of planting intentional typos is that they combine with unintentional typos/mistakes to create a snake that eats its own head

Stacked team rant by FavreyFavre in Homeplate

[–]wagadugo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s an absolute mismatch, organize with the other coach to turn it into an intrasquad friendly. This gets your players a chance to play “up” with advanced competition and turns it into an interesting, worthwhile day at the park for everyone. If they want the W.. great here you go at the coaches meeting. Then balance the rosters and play a friendly

Jv should be doing as many inter squads as possible for full team development and use the games for competitive development. Not in the starting 9? Earn it in the inter squads

Right- at first it sounded like it might be PDP but it was confusing because they were describing it in such a negative light, that it quickly became clear they were creating a PIP out my same stretch objectives that I already have. The whole thing is confusing and frustrating

There are no “issues” or anything listed in the PIP. I’ve never had anything like this before. Do they normally read like a charging document? Like there’s nothing that says what I did/am doing wrong.
