[WildcatNkilt]

9:00 boys
10:30 girls
11:00 boys
12:00 boys
2:00 boys
4:30 wedding

we may have to miss the 2:00p.  I'll most likely miss the 10:30 girls as my son is supposed to be 30 mins early to his games.

My daughter is playing in the Winter Magic indoor soccer tournament next weekend. She has a game that kicks off at 10:45 p.m. next Friday. Pretty sure the whole family won't be going to that game.

I'll still go, but the rest of the family (3 younger kids and wife) will probably just stay back at the hotel.

SD why are you doing 2 hour practices in January for a kids baseball team?

How else do you play 100 games a year as a 7 year old?

[IPA4Me]

Sounds horrible. I loved seeing my kids do things but that list is just exhausting.

we practice 3 times a week during offseason all year round.

sat: first hour strength work. medicine ball, core work, band work, weighted ball throwing. second hour is hittrax and cages.
sun: 2 hours of hitting/hitrax and bullpens (pitcher/catchers)
tue: 2 hours of quad time. as close to we can get in this arctic wonderland to baseball. we set up an infield and work on fielding, live hitting/pitching/etc.

my girls went 3-0 and are continuing their domination of the entire Omaha metro. boys went 0-2 getting blown out in the first one and losing close in the second one. they are playing up a division after only losing one league game last session and, folks, it's going to be a long rest of the season for them.

Not sure how old lil SD is but has he run into any 5'8 fifth graders with a beard who absolutely dominate for 3-4 years because they hit puberty super early but then suck in HS because they never grew again?

One of my elementary school buds was that guy, people were terrified when he was pitching because he shattered one players orbital bone/nose on an errant pitch out at 3&2.

About to run into that. He’s 10 so any moment now.

My nephew's team has one of those kids on their team. Giant slug but towers over the other 12 year olds. 5-8 and a rebound machine. Don't ask him to run on a break though. Kid gets wheezy tying his shoelaces.

we've played in that before, don't think in any tourney we've ever had a start later than 9pm (which is still too late).  that time sounds like a typo

Definitely not a typo. Also, not the latest kickoff time on Friday! (11:00 p.m.)

I've never had a kickoff that late for an outdoor tournament, but even those are starting to get later. There were 9:30 p.m. games at the MAG this past fall. Tournaments in Kansas City are getting more and more popular for out of region teams. There are a lot of teams in most of the big tournaments which gives you competitive brackets and this is drawing teams from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, South Dakota, Illinois and Minnesota.

Also I am not planning on any new baseball bat pornography for 2024…..unless?

a kid on our team got a drop 8 bat and it's got my attention. I'm monitoring the situation. lil sd is a tiny little crap and swings a pretty good sized bat for his size going into 11u (30/20) but maybe I'll get him a drop 8.

also I'm buying him a new catchers and fielding glove. think I'm going heart of the hide r2g contoUR fit for both. does anyone have experience with these? Right now he plays with the rawlings R9 at both positions and we've been happy with them but they are on their second seasons and both say they max out at 12 yo. he's 10 but would rather him get something broken in over the season and transition early than wait to long.

[pissclams]

you should have grandpa sd slaughter his finest cow and grandma sd make lil sd the best catcher’s mitt this side of the mississippi out of it. 

for the padding, i’d like to suggest using the cotton from a cottonwood tree that I know about up in lake waukomis.  super soft cotton from that tree, it’s insane.

“bespoke lux mitts by grandpa and grandma sd” could be the name of the company we just invented.

catch phrase for the company- “bespoke lux mitts by grandpa and grandma sd.  you don’t need one, you meade one”

what do you say, let’s get rich.  we can go on shark tank next saturday?

Long story short is there isn't enough quality competition outside of California to have many quality games, so most of the best players in the country not from California are playing in Dallas this weekend for a tournament/showcase. There's a lot more to it, but that's the gist.
