    Given the low altitude and airspeed at which the trouble occurred, was this recoverable? Or were they likely doomed?

    Considering the soaring prices of college education, this seems like a good use of endowment funds.

    Same. I received several phone calls from shocked/outraged homeowners.

    As a former HOA Treasurer, I saw several of these liens. Folks would ignore fines, then go to sell their houses and OOPS! HOA always got paid.

    Yadi and the Cardinals are just pissed that the Astros changed their passwords.

    Pathetic batting with runners on base. Too much long ball allowed. L. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It felt like Trout was the only guy who hadn't hit one yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not true. He posts a lot of regular pics. But he's definitely wiped almost all of them within the past few hours. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Just a ploy to get more votes. CC loves him some attention and he isn't getting enough right now.

    As with many things, it depends on where you are and what team your kid is on. Although many select programs only care about winning, $$$, and whatever sort of "prestige" comes with winning teenage baseball games, there are a few select programs that care about teaching, development, character, hard work, etc. Kids from those teams are net assets to their teams in HS and beyond.

    2019 Select Ball

    jkates replied to jkates's topic in Baseball

    Annnnnnnd, we're done. Our brief select season is over. Fun little time with the boys as we all got introduced to kid pitch. We farted around with some fall ball in order to get our feet wet with kid pitch. It was 9AA. Went 3-3. Too many rainouts and reschedules to count. We played 1 tournament in March and 1 in April while our kids were still in rec league and not practicing together. Those were 9AAA. Went 0-6. We played 5 tournaments over the past 5 weekends (May 24-June 22) while practicing together. One was 9AA. Four were 9AAA. Went 14-5 with 3 tournament wins (though 1 tournament the bracket play was rained out, so we technically won due to our seeding after pool play). It was a tough season for Lil Kates but I am proud of the way he worked. He kept his head up and busted his butt in every practice. I believe I did the same on the coaching side. Now for a break from baseball...

    2019 Select Ball

    jkates replied to jkates's topic in Baseball

    I only have the 1 son playing select ball, so it's an intense month of June for us, but not too bad. My wife and daughters are troopers. They deserve some extra time/love. I don't get burnt out yet because baseball is my favorite sport. It's still fun for me at this age. And, thankfully, we're not doing year-round select ball. We still participate in our local rec league.

    2019 Select Ball

    jkates replied to jkates's topic in Baseball

    It's always interesting to see how these young kids react in these tourneys. We had 8:00 AM starts after 45+ minute drives both Saturday and Sunday and the team was flat, flat, flat. Went 0-2 on Saturday and felt like we should have split. Lost on Sunday in extra innings. Ugh. It was a State tourney and much deeper field (26 teams, I think, in 9AAA) than most weekends. Hopefully, the boys learned some lessons this weekend. Lil Kates got 1 inning on the bump against the eventual 3rd place team. He allowed 1 R with 2 BB and 1 K. I was proud of the performance. (Team gave up 15 in 4 innings that game.) Lil Kates did not bat in the game he pitched, but he batted in the other pool play game going 0-for-1, 1 HBP, 1 R, 1 K. No balls in RF. He didn't play in the Sunday game, but he drug my butt off of the couch yesterday evening to catch a bullpen and hit off of the tee.
