@MICHAELMYERS1 @TalkinBaseball_ So by this metric, an attempted bunt straight across the plate where the ball was missed should be a ball.

@BHLevesque @morningwoodbbq @TheBrianONeill @jaygardner549 @keithgoryl @BigBenDeCastro @AntsMAGAweather @WeatherNut27 @Kuzmanomics @Cottamsland1 “No mow May” 🤣….. I’m too OCD. I would have gone over there and hacked it down already or called the city. That’s def in violation of any ordinance on the books for lawn height. Our city can’t be over 8” or private contractor mows it and they send you the bill.

@BHLevesque @WeatherNut27 @StillTheNewGuy @Kuzmanomics @keithgoryl @TheBrianONeill @jaygardner549 @Cottamsland1 @AntsMAGAweather @BigBenDeCastro @morningwoodbbq I pull it if I see it, but I’m with you. Always better than bare dirt 🤷🏼

@TheBrianONeill @BHLevesque @jaygardner549 @keithgoryl @morningwoodbbq @BigBenDeCastro @AntsMAGAweather @WeatherNut27 @Kuzmanomics @Cottamsland1 Looks great Brian! Had to knock mine out last night with forecast for 1”+ rain and storms today.

@BaseballDudes48 “Relax”…. Followed by “you can do it!”

Game changer…..(not the irrelevant stat application 🤭)

See a parent sitting quietly at a game?

Often, that’s the one who gets it.

No complaining.
No criticizing coaches.
No yelling at refs.
No drama.

Just watching their kid compete.
Youth sports need more parents like those.

Be part of the solution.

@MikeSlomba @TheBrianONeill @BHLevesque @jaygardner549 @WeatherNut27 @StillTheNewGuy @Kuzmanomics @keithgoryl @Cottamsland1 @AntsMAGAweather @BigBenDeCastro @morningwoodbbq Very nice indeed!!

[Ben | Father of Four @collingb23]

@BaseballDudes48 *Should* encourage….parents should always encourage 👍🏼

[Ben | Father of Four @collingb23]

@BaseballDudes48 Had to have many conversations with parents (Dads) about this... Coaches will coach, and parents shouldn't encourage. I've seen this distraction cause great players to stop playing as they were never able to meet that approval.
