It has also been a red letter week for 2B. First preseason game last night. Where is 2B hitting?...what?...cleanup?First at bat, two on, one out. Low pitch, fly ball, oh, well, turn off the camera like an idiot..
..and the ball just kept going! Three run homer! Now, that's the way to start a season. Second at bat was a line single to center that scored 2. The next two at bats, they walked him.

You're so right FCJ...thats why you need to get the highest grades possible so you can get into the best sports management program in the country...
I can see that front office job now...but only with good grades...including your German class. If you think German is hard what do you think dealing with a prima donna athlete is like?
Sam is working hard on the field, but your field of play is the classroom...you're doing great so far keep the streak going!

To me it's not about being nervous. I'd feel like I was invading his turf (felt the same way when daughter played softball) if I showed up at practice. Before my kids drove if I arrived to pick them up before practiced ended I would watch through the trees from the parking lot.quote:Originally posted by Tom Dorminy:
I was on another site earlier and it was suggested that parents should not be allowed at any practice because it puts pressure on the kids and caused second hand coaching . My belief is that any kid who gets nervous or feels pressure at this level at practice should try something new . I also believe that those parents have serious issues . What do you think ? I only attend intersquad and 1 or 2 practices and let the coaches do their job but I believe parents should be allowed to attend if they so desire .
I kept score last year. It wasn't fun. I was approached right after plays. I had parents get ticked off at me. I was called an idiot by parents who don't know the rules. As you can imagine I told some of them to take a hike. I received emails when parents disagreed. No way, no how am I scoring again this year.quote:Originally posted by JMoff:
Prime9, I always ask, "How would I score it if my kid hit it" and "How would I score it if my kid was pitching" and "How would I score it if my kid didn't field it". You will converge on the right answer.
I just don't like parents begging for hits... I'm going to pretend like I do it for fun...
When my son was a freshman the first hitter he faced in a scrimmage was the senior captain, college prospect. On the first pitch the captain took him deep, but foul. My son knocked him on his tail on the second pitch and stood on the mound smiling at him. Two pitches later he took him out with a change in the dirt.quote:I am nervous about his pitching to the older boys. He has always been very good against his own age.
20 plus 2 scrimmages plus districts and statesquote:How many high school games does your state allow?
quote:But hey thats baseball and they get to play again and do better, such a young team hopefully they will get better as the season rolls on
