Rdman, Long time no see or hear. For your sake, lets hope the rumor of former hindcatcher and current trigomometry teacher, Rusty Harriman is not coaching football in L-town. Got a mind like a steel trap and a head like a cut worm. Ought to be a goodurn tonight in Lebanon.

Is Rusty Harriman still teaching in Lebanon? If memory serves me, he taught Trigomometry and worked with baseball. Please let me know. May have been a hindcatcher.

I am totally bamboozled!

Dback man, Are there any 45U drop 8 composite bat tournaments in our area? I am looking to get on a team that needs a fake sign giver or bullpen coach. Thanks. E5

That is where both of you honyoks (Bruce Skeenism) are wrong. Find the schools with the best hospitality rooms first. Second make sure there is shade. Third, put REDSMAN's team and mine in it and I could outcoach him every last time. My lifetime record counting pitcher's mound is as good as first and playing with ghost men, I am 17-19...I own his butt.

No, they are in the same tournament our 13's are in and I did not know if they were Christiana's returning players.

Mom, Please don't take anything R'daleman says about me to be true. His seeing eye dog is telling him lies about me. I use the Riddell brand bucket to sit on when coaching because it is much shorter than both the Wilson and Diamond brand. When using a "lawn" type chair, it does not matter. The styles that are short enough for my legs not to fall asleep in are not near wide enough and vice versa. So I make sure I can scout near a fence so I can put my feet up. Never be a bush leaguer and carry you scouting items in a Wal-Mark sack, get a proper satchel. You know to cut off the cord of a broken down hair dryer and put a Juggs sticker on it to look important. Leave the bricks at home! theone kicked one once and plum near broked his foot. Hope this helps. E5 R'daleman, who is Warrior Baseball 13U from the Boro?

Developer, Now that FCS has won a state championship, the argument from several private school supporters is that the coaches work harder and are better. My question to you: Did Coach Atwood suddenly work harder than he did before because he is now at a private school? E5

R'daleman, You finally made some good points. We NEVER have instructed our pitchers to hit anyone. We did set up inside on the game in question. The call you blow EVERY game we have you is the ball that bounces down the middle of the plate or is right down the middle of the opposite batter's box. I will agree that the right hand is the umpire's best friend. I have coached for 22 and umpired for 10 years, including college baseball, and have only seen one game where I felt an umpire was a "homer." I agree that no ump comes to the game to root for one team or call for one team. We are fortunate to have a large group of umpires who work at their craft in the Boro. They, like coaches, make mistakes but I have no issue with the mistakes as long as they are working. Now as far as letting the guy in the lawn chair call the game...just give me a bucket, I have never missed a call from my dugout or either coaches boxes. Now I have blown several games from those two places as a coach. R'daleman, there would be no fun in my life if I could not badger you on this forum. E5

I will gladly come to the next game you have the plate and let you know how you are doing. Your buddy, E5

Jody "Senior, you ain't got no stinkin guts" Atwood is strength. Hope his plantar facsiitis is better.

Mom, Don't mean to brag but I average 300 yards per drive...150 down the fairway and 150 to the right. I am handy with a foot wedge and hacking out of the woods.

send me the $12.00 my email is hitestiresflat@yahoo.com

Gotta call "bull butter!" I can't give out my email on the T. Riverdaleman would then know who I am.

You have really hit it. This is probably the most important part of not only the hitter, but the whole game. "Fried Green Tomaters" or "The Scottish National Anthem" (song played on Patton, when Montie came Marching in) are my favorites. That sets the whole tone of the at bat. Now I did prefer some Enya or Yanni in the obvious sac bunt situations.

Can I have your email? I will send you a hard drive full of actual game photos of swings. The hands are the weakest part of the body and are connected to some of the weakest muscles of the body. "Level" to what? Ground? Pitch? Show me an athletic movement that the hips (larger muscles) do not lead the hands (smaller muscles.) This is the Kinetic Link. This is physics. Unless a hitter can suspend the Laws of Physics....well

Take a look at Tyler Burnett's swing. Hips lead the hands, match the plane of the pitch with the plane of the swing, and keep hands inside the baseball.

Could you give us the recent history of teams advancing out of the district and their respective seeds? Was Siegel a #6 when they advanced from the Cookeville site a couple of years back?

What about Max Hawk? Or the Richardson brothers who would eat $30.00 apiece out of the concession stand? Derp? Ichiro? Better get the hittin facility on the night that softball does not have it. You know they paid for half of the building...well not really, just got a Welfare type handout...I digress. BTW do you suggest a Pinto or a Yugo to drag our infield?

Diddy, Dippin Johnny, Mills, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh....OK, and all former players of yours and mine who hit .51 under the "Mendoza Line." You have to wear a hat or give everybody Oakleys, if it outside. I would prefer my favorite resteraunt...any that have "all you can eat."

No robster craws? Neck bone gravy?

Well said and how is the hospitality room over there? The one at Oakland is allegedly better than the one at WC the year you ruined your britches.

How have the Tigers survived without Michael "Watch The Train" King not roaming the sidelines and eating lunch on Fridays for free? NOW!

You will hear him long before you see the "boiler" he sports in the front. May also have a seeing eye dog to help him find his seat.

No doubt Region 4-5A "Get Back Coach Of The Year." Tire salesman lost out to the Tucker's Sausage route Salesman of the year from L-town.
