  1. A five foot bump. Shouldn't be noticable for 11 year olds by Spring. If it's Fall baseball there might be a slight difference but it probably isn't noticeable after the first game.

    We have mostly avoided fall ball with this crew. 4 spring/summer seasons. We might play some tournaments this fall, but no formal team practices. So pitchers will have to be ready on their own. We'll see. Every kid on the team is playing either football or AAU hoops in the fall.

  2. My kids are going back in-person on Aug 19th. My wife teaches at the school and has been at work all of this week. The COVID protocols are going to annoy the crud out of her but don't seem too overwhelming. The kids will adjust and adapt in days. What will be interesting is to see the response once somebody tests positive. Right now, the school is planning on business as usual while that kid goes home and recovers. We'll see. So far, the parents all seem on board. 97% of the families chose in-person over distance learning, so it's about to be on.

    Is junior football happening?  I figured posters here would know

    It's happening for SBMSA in Houston. We just wrapped up skills camps. Assessments will be Saturday. Draft on the 18th. Practices start the 19th. Games start September 12th. 

  4. Bodies of the remaining found

    The U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy located the bodies of eight missing service members and the wreckage of their sunken amphibious assault vehicle (AAV) on Monday, four days after the accident occurred.

    A press release on Tuesday confirmed the positive identification of the wreckage and bodies from the previous day. The vehicle was found at a depth of 385 feet, and human remains were spotted with the Navy’s remote video systems deployed from its search and rescue ship, HOS Dominator.

     

  5. At this point, if one is still publicly "protesting," especially at night, he is just an attention-seeking idiot with nothing better to do. The real and meaningful protests ended weeks ago. I advise my friends to stay away from these types of things because nothing good can happen.

    Ruth had absurdly quick hands and reaction time. His mechanics were terrible judging by today's standards, but most folks run the wrong way with that argument.

    If Babe Ruth played today his talent would have been noticed quickly and he would have been trained how to swing "correctly" against modern pitching. The question of Babe Ruth playing today with the same training methods and technique he used in the 1920s is stupid. If he played today he wouldn't use the same training methods and technique.

    Nor would he use his 40 oz bat .

    Sorry  to say this but I think I’m hoping Yordan has the Rona and not more knee problems. 

     

    Well, I think the Rona will be a shorter, quicker ting to deal with than knee problems, so.....good?
