I am always amazed at the number of people who would rather avoid the question than expose the truth. We don't know if these guys took steroids or not bot if anything is hurting the game it is those who take steroids. It is cheating and gives them a huge advantage over straight players. I have seen what it can do. It is like putting a tiger in your tank at the risk of serious helth problems. Why should a clean player be put under pressure to compete by taking steroids.

That's why I told you I am a "rookie" on baseball. I never played basebal before. I have very high expectation on my son. Because he is really good at current level. Hitting, pitching, fielding all around. Every coach saw him told me he is going to be a "big time player". But actually he didn't prove anything yet (as a HS freshman, he havn't played a sigle HS game yet, what do you expect?). But his talent is there for sure. I read some draft news about some player got the signing bonus from...

Re: Winter , Great Time To Practice Small Ball

2bagger ·
Agree to disagree I guess but most times I see a level bat while bunting seems to turn into a pop up would rather have it with the bat head up a bit to get the ball on the ground. I also have seen enough players at high school or colleg that wait to llong to commit on a sac bunt and then don't get the job done as they bunt foul. Again jmo. Teach what you like.

Re: Really good scout

TPM ·
We didn't talk to scouts when son was drafted out of college, but in our HS experience I found evry scout to be helpful, up front and honest in their dealings. After the word got out he wanted to go to college, almost every scout we had met personally called the night before the draft to tell him he made a good choice. I am not sure if that was because we had known so many for years, but they didn't have to make that call. One particular story, there was a scout who was crazy for son, worked...

Re: Arguing balls and strikes

Welpe ·
Rob, was this a college game? I ask because you are quoting the NCAA rule. In Federation, a chop block occurs only when there is a low block at or below the knee of a player that is already being engaged by another blocker. I have not seen the actual foul occur too often in games that I've done. It is perfectly legal for two offensive linemen to block a defender high and low as long as it is at the same time, or if the there is a delay between blocks, the low block is the first block. Now it...

I don't think I over-moderate -- but you are welcome to open a poll on the subject. A moderator cannot win here --- as no one wants their views to be "restricted" in any way. And yet others send me private messages with opinions that suggest I intervene more often. **shrug** You should check out the chaos on the other sports message boards -- many of the posters here are glad to have our "structure". I welcome all feedback on the subject of over-moderation. The pay isn't really that good.

Mr. Basebal...what math? You'd rather "hope" that the pitcher will walk you? (and "hope" you win?) That tells me you don't trust your hitters enough to execute. Best of luck to your hitters.

We are all far from perfect. But in my experience around the game I have come across some parents that push push push. And it affects the kid in a negative way. No we do not want to sugarcoat things but sometimes their is a line we cross. What if your kid goes o-4 ks with the bases loaded twice and has 2 errors? How do you as a parent approach that? Get all over him etc etc? I have seen that and it is not pretty. A kid is exposed at that at 9 and 10 and pretty soon he gets tired of that and...

As stated, it comes down to proper mechanics [and also if a youngster's anantomy at the time will withstand the stress]. I think the main point is this: Why jeopardize a kid's health and future??

The problem with the article is that most of the guys out there coaching think they are smarter than the "real experts" and will...

Has he filled out his NCAA clearinghouse forms by registering on-line? Colleges could access the info that way. Have his high school coaches been contacted? Maybe a scout that has watched your son knows what kind of student your son is. As I remember before an official visit the college must have your sons unofficial transcripts. Academics do matter @ most colleges and the best bonus is that your son may qualify for academic money to add to his athletic aid. I have seen several...
