In general I think travel coaches and training centers scare parents into the idea that early specialization is necessary to keep them from being "left behind" when in fact it is probably actually detrimental to most kids if you care about things like burnout and injury

When the British spell "erm" when they mean "um"

Along these lines, when Americans use "ass" in a tweet or a blog instead of "ass" because for some reason they think "ass" is vulgar but "ass" is somehow not?
lol yes also a good one

I played until jr. Babe Ruth. The other hilarious thing that I remembered was that Babe Ruth is the first age group that has three years instead of 2. It's like 13-15 year olds which probably has the widest range of development for boys, so you get guys with beards against pudgy kids who have never had a growth spurt

pretty sure I've said it before but it still boggles my mind that baseball is the first organized sport I played. It's boring, has confusing rules, and really difficult for little kids. Like the worst of everything for kids trying sports. I wonder how many kids got completely turned off of sports because they sucked at baseball when they were like 8 or 9 and that was their only option and they assumed they sucked at all sports. (granted that's changed but still)

baseball is the best to teach hand/eye coordination and unlike other sports, you can't start it later. I see what you're saying if its the ONLY sport you start playing, but I think it's a good one for littler kids because of the hand/eye stuff.

Eh I think you can totally start baseball later than age 5 and be fine if the kids are playing other sports. I could be wrong though. Also when I was a kid it was really the only available organized sport until I was in junior high. (No soccer where I was)

walk up music seems like the raddest/most fun/least problematic part of semi-serious youth baseball

I didn't think the portal would have been the way it is now when he got hired

Is this all because Madam Webb sucked?
I think it was because she was on snl but I also do not intend to click any of those links

Wasn't sure where these belonged but lol

he does love cops, but there's nothing about loving cops in his profile.
Well, not explicitly

67
i mean, what part of proud capitalist, classical liberal and pax americana fan would you think i disagree with?

I'm still not used to how much you love cops now  (even though I should be)

Go watch the Spurs, squawk

73
We will probably win this
I don't think so but I will still enjoy it! I'm yelling at the refs because they're making me so angry!

74
I really enjoy this team. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one. Need more bucket getters but they always try hard
Yeah we’ve had a lot of good moral victories for the play hard chart for sure.

oscar's teams gave up all the time. And I can enjoy watching a team that loses games!
