My MIL actually has a recoding of them (not sure who did it) inside the cooler as it hit. The crazy screaming is mostly my MIL.
Regarding the car wash. My FIL said when they came out a guy as standing in front and part of his scalp was pealed back, a brick smacked him is what he heard.
There's a Creamsicle slushie at a gas station here that is lifechanging
The Casey’s worker said the orange and strawberry were very good. Ironically, the local one started carrying it a week after we came back from Nashville.
Exactly the thought that crossed our mind when Lew had his stroke. If we had been home asleep, or he had been out in the garagemahal, there's not telling what delays might have occurred.
Same when my dad had a heart attack when I was a kid. It had snowed, heavy wet snow. I went out to start on it as he was not feeling well. Turns out he was having a heart attack (likely also had one that he didn't go in for a couple of days before), who knows what would have happened if he had been out there shoveling as well.
What’s the rules when it’s a juvenile versus adult crime? I’m getting nervous for my youngest. I have a feeling that one of these games he’s going to walk into the dugout after the inning and beat the crap out of one of these JV pitchers who is throwing the ball everywhere but his glove in the game. Although as tired as he looks walking back to the dugout he may not have the energy to do too much.
Uuuhhh…..:yes. It a both with that. Honestly, my youngest is the most accurate JV pitcher but no one else will catch so he’s stuck there. The first warm up pitch of the second pitcher was 3 foot over and 5 foot to the right of my kid. My son told me that the pitching was so bad that even the ump and the other batters were making fun of it with him while batting. The other coach stopped sending runners home on past balls because he was feeling bad for the crapshow my son had to try to catch.
I have no idea what the problem is without eyeballing it but JV pitching is all about throwing it over the plate. Velocity needs to be secondary. Just throw it where they can hit it in the bottom half of the zone and put it in play so the defense can do it’s job. Overthrowing at that level influences accuracy. I’m guessing whoever is coaching never pitched.
Wouldn't overthrowing also lead to injury to the throwing arm on kids that have not fully developed their muscle mass yet?
How I now picture Boxster:
It instilled in me a strong sense of "I will not play in the rain or in threatening weather." Co-workers leading our golf league were idiots like Carl. I lead a mutiny after nine-holes of scheduled 18 once when those idiots won't cancel.
Actually it’s a new coach this year and he was a college pitcher. Son caught for him in some live batting practice and he can really move the ball the youngest said. It’s that he got enamored with the new to be freshman since he works in the middle school and they are fundamentally bad. It’s never their fault and they keep trying to blame my kid for their poor accuracy, one said he didn’t give him a good enough target. Kinda hard when you can barely move since 75% of the throws aren’t even catchable.
Just because someone has pitched doesn’t make them good. I was the most help to my daughter pitching softball than my wife who pitched. I focused on the hips on down first. Got the foot work where it needed to be and hit on consistency. Get the bottom half right and the rest is a cakewalk.
I'm sorry. My mom hasn't been doing well and has been staying with my sister for a while. She wants to go home but we are really nervous about that. She does have a good relationship with a couple of neighbors but that's asking a lot of them to check on her every day.
