2024 Youth Baseball - Every Kid’s a future MLB HOFer!!!

[kmac30 416]

Dr visit this morning went well. Turns out it’s a strength problem. His shoulder isn’t strong enough and it’s putting strain on the muscles around his elbow. Not tennis elbow, just a strained muscle. Going to do some PT and teach him a routine to help strengthen his shoulders. Huge relief. Avoid over doing it for the next week and he should be good to go.

Away from his PT program, focus on core work and hip mobility, too.

Nice.

These rings really pile up after awhile. Something I ended up doing was setting up a glass jar for each of my kid's tournament rings. Each of my sons has a glass jar full of their tournament championship rings. My daughter has one for softball tournament rings too.

My youngest is switching teams for the spring due to the politics of his current team. For some reason certain players are given all the opportunities despite repeated errors and failure. My son has done well when given the opportunity. It is either pay to play or Mack brown style coaching. The other players have been with them longer.

Either way, I let the head guy know and he did not take it well. My son has subbed some for his new team and loves the coach. I am excited for the future.

Know the feeling. Kid is on a team has 5th highest average on team. 52 at bats has struck out 0 times. Fielding percent in the 90s. Yet hits bottom 3 and bench half time on defense. In favor of a kid whose dad pays coach for private lessons.

Continuing the story. The head guy for the org we are leaving found out where my son was going and tried to poach the coach. That guy coaches my older son's team as well (and the head guy knows it) and it would have blown the fuck out of my kids baseball world. Thankfully it didn't work and he isn't leaving. Holy shit what a slimy fucking move. I hate this stupid baseball world we have to navigate through. When you find an amazing coach and think everything is great and some asshole tries to blow it up out of spite. Fuckem.

Politics aren't as political as youth baseball

I would like to offer a prayer to the baseball Gods to look after me and my family and have our team lose the noon game. Because I’m going to lose my shit if we have to play again at six in fucking Waller.

The baseball gods smiled at me today. And I thought we were going to roll them after the first.
