Yeah, if you play travel ball and a kid shows up with a USA bat your first priority is explaining to his parents that he’s going to need a USSSA bat.

so this touches on an issue that i’ve been wondering about ever since I first picked up one of these bats.  it’s ridiculous how lightweight and “hot” they are.  i immediately wondered to myself how they were legal and accepted.  i’m not suggesting that they should be using wooden bats, although college probably should be. 

seems like the technology and materials advancement has outpaced the game.

I may be talking out my ass here, but I think they actually have less pop than they used to. I think the old college bats that you heard the "ping" were hotter so they added the new version with required specs. I may have made that whole thing up though.
No, the hottest bats are composite and sound like a snapping branch when you hit with them. The alloy bats have generally less pop and still give that ping. Composite bats don’t have a long life and can’t be hit in cold weather because they will break. Also you don’t want to use them in the cage because you’re shortening that lifespan. Most kids will have an alloy metal bat and composite bat in their bat pack. Like there are Marucci bats in the same line (ie CatX) that are alloy, composite handle/alloy barrel, and two piece composite. Lil sd carries the second and third ones.

I have the hype -10. I think its last years version. Am I screwed too? If so, I now understand why I got such a good deal.

not yet, just the -5 so far. reviews all say the -5 is the hottest so probably will be good.

PG banned the Hype Fire -5, USSSA will most likely follow suit. Imagine spending $400 on a bat and you can't even use it.

I must be dead inside. I visited the Grand Canyon with my wife during our Fiesta Bowl trip of 2013, and I thought it was neat, but didn’t exactly have a spiritual moment. I’m in the path today and will be jacked up for my son, but not overly excited in all honesty. Should I look into prozac?
Nah, I think different people just get up for different things.

I'm with Phil on this. We saw the last one (as documented in this thread) and it was kind of cool but not something I need to ever experience again. I don't get what the big deal is. It gets dark every day, I can just experience dark later if I need to for some reason.

What kind of severance package did you get?

One month of pay and health insurance. Seems shitty to me, but I don't know what the norm is.
I think it depends on level but when I've dealt with them it's typically a week per year of employment

ours for non-executives is 2 weeks + 2 weeks for every year of employment. but we're a euro company and a lot of that nasty euro socialism bleeds into a lot of our benefits and practices.

Hank Morgan could show up today and just rough ridin' control MAGAs. Only difference is he'd do it via a twitter page called HartfordPatriot69 instead of, like, in person.

It’s pretty wild how much of our society sits around planning for that stuff. I have an aunt and uncle who do. They have an entire basement filled with jarred preserved chickens and weird preserved food.
