  1. And another torpedo youth bat hits the market:
  2. @Mez2 and Camwood just hit my email with this:
  3. I also think corking is more about this (bat compression, trampoline effect) than weight reduction. My point of reference is ridiculous youth baseball world, but some hitters swing better with end loaded, and others with balanced barrel. Moving center of gravity lower can help initial acceleration, and the wider sweet spot for those hitters ensures more likely hitting the baseball's center of mass at a lower point on the barrel. Traditional end loaded design is advantageous for hitters that have no problem whipping the barrel around and creating more angular momentum towards the end of the bat (higher mass and velocity, more boom).
  4. mlb24all.whatever not working for me this season
  5. Yeah, either they want flexibility if the best available they have rated significantly higher than the best OL on the board, or they are trying to play mind games and make other teams think they may not go OL, so that one of their top 3 OL falls to them (then they cut one or more of these non-guaranteed contract FAs).
  6. He listed his primary residence for sale about a year ago. I don’t know if it was related to an illness or not.
  7. I went to middle school with one of his daughters so this hits close to (my former) home. I met him a handful of times, and he was always as nice, light hearted, and joking as he came off in his grill infomercials. RIP champ.
  8. Coach interference. Runner is out. 🤣 Agree on batting order. Spreading out your strong and weak hitters is key to keep it moving.
  9. Caserio is crafty there only guaranteeing $89 of the $90M 😂
  10. The old timers at Rice that saw him in action all said that with his speed and size he’d still be a stud in modern college football and not a “plumber” as the modern urban youth say.
  11. My wife’s friend has let her 8 year old sleep in her bed 99.9% of his life, and it has caused major problems if she ever has to travel for work or with her friends (can’t be gone more than one night and it’s a major ordeal). Be warned, all ye with adorable toddlers. We have some other friends who allowed a habit to form when their toddler aged kids started sleeping in a real bed, “if they woke up and were scared,” the kids were allowed to come crawl into their bed. Still happens to them 5 or 6 nights a week, any time between 2 and 6am, and the kids are now 7 and 5. They have to bang before midnight like their kids are mogwai.
  12. Yeah, well another Ben Roethlesberger isn’t just going to walk in the door. And if he did, he would lock it behind him and force you to suck him off.
  13. I don’t know if Kupp is washed or not, but the Rams put out that they are about to cut him. This could be a Joe Mixon opportunity where you swap 7th rounders and get Kupp, whose 2025 cap number to the new team is only $5m.
  14. Adding to Brazil's suggestions: I did base running as the warmup almost every practice. Getting them to run through 1B and listen to base coaches will save you a lot of dumb outs as the season goes. Teach them to get the glove down in the grass with the "alligator" hand on top. I found having beginners point their glove hand at the target got them to square up and throw straighter. Most t-ball kids don't absorb anything you teach them about swing form. If you can get them to set their feet correct with strong legs while keeping their head on the ball, you are way ahead of the game. If you don't have enough kids that can catch at 1B, you can teach them bounce throw it from farther distances towards the base where it two or three hops to the first baseman and they can stop the ball. Keep the catcher engaged to grab the 3 foot dinker hits for the force out at home.
