Gibberish baseball thread. We got rocked today. My kid was sick and barely pitch

Date: May 12th, 2024 1:03 AM Author: Appetizing House Pervert And I had to score keep. I'm terrible at it. Such a mom job. I was there without my girls and had my 6 Year old to watch. It just ruins the game. And it's all online. You can't catch up when the 'book' gets fucked.
We dropped a 13 run lead. Coach had my kid pitch first because he was worried my son would get pulled puking. He did 3 innings and gave up three runs. That's not a lot in 10u. Then he puked. He came back and filled in at center when the normal center fielder came out crying because his hand hurt. The next play with my kid at center was a home run over his head. He looked over at me so pissed off. He said 'that kid was huge, just hit him.' |
Date: May 12th, 2024 8:50 AM Author: Appetizing House Pervert I went down stairs this morning to get my kid up and he's watching trout videos of fielding of all things. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5527708&forum_id=2#47655210) |

Date: May 17th, 2024 6:16 PM Author: Appetizing House Pervert Crazy baseball week bros. We had a game Monday for both boys but after a weekend of both dance and baseball tournaments my wife decided to take a rare off day. I felt guilty but we skipped the Monday games. We had a little league game Tuesday for both boys. Wednesday was a select practice. I'm taking my youngest boy to the select facility with me pitching to bat in any unused cage (he's finally starting to really like it). Oldest boy had a little league game Thursday and we have select practice tonight.
Tomorrow oldest son has a double header that will hopefully finish up before select practice afterwards at 3:00. This all sounds awful...but I'm so busy I didn't have the capacity to take girls to dance. Spending the day at the ballfield is incredibly chill too. You throw balls at little kids for an hour (coach pitch team) then go grab a burger and fries (2015 prices) and kick back and watch some ball (majors team). |

Date: May 19th, 2024 7:32 PM Author: Appetizing House Pervert The select coach added a scrimmage for today with the team a year below us. So we went. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5527708&forum_id=2#47675080) |

Date: May 26th, 2024 12:03 PM Author: Appetizing House Pervert Won our first two yesterday. If we win one of two today I bet we make it to the championship round (which means I also have to drive on Monday). The tournament goes by wins/losses first but run differential second, which can lead to some pretty retarded outcomes and encourages running the score up.

Date: May 29th, 2024 5:10 PM Author: gibberish (?) We won the first game Sunday against the other undefeated team in the tournament (my kid was 4/4 but cheap hits), but lost the second game by one run. Another team with one loss that we beat got in ahead of us because they put up 13 runs on the worst team in the tournament. So we didn't get to play on Monday.
After we lost the second game lol my son blew up. He was trying to hold bite his tongue but the pitcher we put in gave up runs like crazy, and some were just from not paying attention. My kid hates the other kid, he either wants to be on any team the other kid isn't on or he'll just give up baseball. He settled down by the time we got home but I've never seen him that pissed off.
Another thing...the travel team gives little league parents a lot of flack. However, of the 3 kids we have on little league teams, none struck out. Not a single error between them. My kid is hitting 450 now with an era just above 4.
My youngest kid does coach pitch and they do an in house tournament. Lol he had a walk off single to win it last night. He had no idea what was going on. |

Date: May 31st, 2024 12:50 PM Author: gibberish (?) My kid hit .800 in the month of May. He gets lucky a lot though with little chip shots. Before we had little league 'hits' and select 'hits'. Little league kids can't catch a pop fly, so sending one into center field you're probably safe. Select kids catch that ball so you need line drives. 10U select kids will catch pop flies but a hard grounder to third and somewhere in the operation the fielding team will fuck up. Not always, but a majority of the time. By 11 or 12 those are all outs too. Basically we grade hits. If he says he went 4/4 I'll ask what kind of hits.

Date: May 31st, 2024 1:00 PM Author: gibberish (?) Yeah, select is game changer and little league is sports nation. There so many fucking apps now.
Game changer is pretty cool with all of the stats you can break out and the video clips. A desktop version would be nice though. |

Date: May 31st, 2024 3:34 PM Author: gibberish (?) Lol we do have the big sun glasses. They're stupid. I don't see the gold chains. Most of the parents are pretty conservative and lots of the teams are actually rather poor. Many are like an all star team from a regional little league. They always get their asses kicked. People talk shit about them but at least it's an example of the two leagues working together. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5527708&forum_id=2#47707985) |

Date: May 31st, 2024 3:46 PM Author: ceci n'est pas un avocat My kid is going to a baseball camp with a bunch of travel ball types. Lots of extended cab 150s in the pickup line
Day two, one of the travel kids feels sorry for him because he doesn't have blinged up orange sunglasses and gives him an old pair. I guess he's in the in crowd now |

Date: May 31st, 2024 3:53 PM Author: gibberish (?) Yeah definitely a pick up truck crowd, especially for the suburban teams.
I hate those stupid glasses, they break all the time and a regular pair of Oakley style glasses would be more practical. I also hate walk up music, parents that put up big team banners and anything to do with snacks (tbf snacks are a little league thing). I am guilty of buying some of the bs gear (eg Bruce Bolt batting gloves), but some of the parents go all out. Ive noticed the kids of these parents usually aren't the best on the team and the parents are almost trying to make up for it by getting bullshit gear. A $400 bat isn't going to make up for not hitting the cages every week. |

Date: May 31st, 2024 3:36 PM Author: gibberish (?) He does get crazy anxiety in certain situations but he was straight sick as fuck for that tournament. He pitched his obligatory 3 innings and his coach had him lay down in the dug out. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5527708&forum_id=2#47707990) |

Date: June 5th, 2024 1:42 AM Author: gibberish (?) Oldest kids team played on Sunday in the interleague tournament. Our family was set to be out of town and it was raining sideways....but they still fucking played until an ump fell on his ass and basically cancelled the game. We were down by 3 runs and that eliminated us. Rain out tournament games are decided by a coin toss. My youngest kid on coach pitch (also in tournament play) also had a game Sunday but they called it after 2 innings. I guess there was a big argument. I've never seen one of these parent meltdowns and kind of sad I missed it. One coach dad on the other team didn't do handshake afterwards...lol these are kindergartners and first graders.
Because of the select team we declined doing all stars at the beginning of the year. But his coach laid some guilt on me so we signed up. We were almost done with little league. My wife talked the league manager through our schedule and explained we are not allowed to skip select practices. They still took us. Lately my boys want to go to the ballpark even when they don't have a game. They hang out and play. All of the boys at the ballpark have been working on an old defunct T-ball field to make it a wiffle ball field. Fuck libs. |
