This is a hypothesis I have been kicking around in my head for a couple of years. Stay with me, its out there but plausible and requires you to meet me half way on some points. So if there is a global Cabal or powers that be, you can make the argument that the USSR was their first attempt at glo...
Ok my afternoon is now shot. :lol:...
[quote]I look forward to playing COD on Game Pass. I am ready for them to put all COD on Game Pass.[/quote] Are they going to put the old COD games on gamepass? There are some old Zombie maps I would love to play. ...
I feel like there have been a much of movies that warn against this. I, Robot, Matrix, Terminator. Are we sure we just want to hand the keys to the kingdom to AI?...
Mandeville has an arm that's for sure. Their left handed hitting 2b leadoff hitter is scrappy as hell too. They are a really solid team. ...

I had a travel ball comment but not derailing this thread. Lots of good matchups this weekend. ...
[quote]When you have shitty arse coaches who are playing favorites over legit D-1/Juco players at some schools, the system is broken. I can promise you it happens more than you realize. Kids who tear it up on summer ball teams can't find the field due to school politics.[/quote] This does happen 1...
I don't get the anti-Israel hatred outside of being pro-Muslim. The Palestinians never had sovereign control of that area before 1948. Israel has been attacked and gained territory through defending themselves. Israel was attacked and is responding. The only pro-Hamas viewpoint is that t...

Yes and due to no new information, people talked about parents and travel ball in regards to affecting a High School baseball program. Due to no new knowledge on the situation with Coach Hargess the thread evolved into a high school baseball program and how travel ball affects things. It is a normal...

Dude this thread has been about HS aged travel ball. I don’t know what you are talking about. You are so blind to all travel ball negative talk that you just don’t understand context at all. ...
[quote]LaTech 's coach was asked about the large number of hit batsmen in CUSA, and said guys are learning how to throw hard, but not necessarily how to pitch.[/quote] This is another part of the puzzle. The past way a pitcher was developed was that they had to pitch competitive baseball with...
This is a non story. I'm a baseball guy. It is known from 10 year olds up that pitchers cannot have white on the glove or white sleeves. I'm all for America but this is really a nothingburger. ...

[quote]high school ball will always matter more to the average kid that won't play past 12th grade, but kids with legitimate chances of playing at the next level (and their parents) want to play where theyll be seen by the most talent evaluators.[/quote] I agree. But the issue is that parents are...
[quote]Rhetorical question: How have pitchers suddenly become this dominating not to allow hits strung out in one inning?[/quote] I know it is rhetorical but pitchers are getting velo training at a young age. It is a ticking time bomb on the arm but the ones who used to be 83-85 are not 92-94 and...
Pitchers are really really good. And the White Sox farm system has been awful for years. Also MLB GM's are trying to find guys that hit for power. The mindset is pitchers are too good to get 3 hits in an inning to score a run so you have to hit doubles/ HRs to score. The downside of that is you ...

[quote]and I think this is for the illusion of exclusivity.[/quote] Travel ball ages 9-13 should be for the top 10%-15% of kids in an age group. The issue is rec ball only has scraps left because 80% of kids are now playing travel ball. If some of these areas would work to develop rec ball and ha...

[quote]Most bad mouthing travel ball have no clue wtf they are talking about and get a lot more development in travel than hs[/quote] Almost all HS travel teams are coached by high school coaches. And the entire point of travel ball at that point is to get seen. It isn't about development. They m...

[quote]I get it, and I believe it. But I also understand this, the district championship won’t pay for a dime of college. All parents should be trying to if their kid wants it, get them in college playing ball. If that means transferring or doing something contradictory to the program, it sucks and ...
