@coachscooterk A league should never put that much power into a single coaches hands. All League awards should be voted on by a panel. Problem solved.

@ceedeepratt @jbockelie You win the internet today!

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@BellaBaddie__ There is no substitute. Lol

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@notgaetti Go to bed!

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@sullyengels How about face masks for the infielders too?

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@jasondr73 @TheEXECUTlONER_ It takes desire!

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@RobertStock6 Devils advocate here… everything you mentioned leads to fights.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@TweetsbyCoachP There is a growing debate between the merit of “Rec” and “Travel” ball… I say if we’re talking absolutes we stop doing either and allow kids the ability to play on their own in an unstructured environment.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@Blake__Hoffman B. Not close.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@LindaFlanagan2 @LiebermanAustin Many families do not like local recreational leagues for different reasons. We’re having the wrong discussion.

@iamjimmack @flowsdoc @BwittJr @TalkinBaseball_ It’s illegal pre-NCAA

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@craig_eoff @OEBMcNerney Long way from can’t, but regardless there are definitely options to prevent the situation many of us are in.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@craig_eoff @OEBMcNerney We scheduled 27 this season and only once on Saturday. It’s very doable.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@craig_eoff @OEBMcNerney Plan it in May before schedules are created.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@coachprburkhead I think you’re on the right path.

Kids don’t spend time outside in unstructured free play of any kind in near the amount we use to.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@rcandy24 This isn’t an absolute truth. We are trying way too hard to pit travel ball verses rec ball.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@YappiFootball I hate this idea but the problem the folks responding with “kids should play all sports” have is that larger school districts are less impacted by multi-sport athletes. And larger school districts is who the rules are made for.

@GooseFace84 @ButchBaseball29 What’s the book title if you don’t mind.

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@DanCevette Good word! And all the while it’s making you a better human being!

[Patrick Martin @patrick__martin]

@SenTuberville Make it the same for Coaches and I’m onboard!
