LSU777 you left off us LP boys earlier talking about Baton Rouge. District 5-5A is going to be a beast to win. DS, LO, and Walker should have some pretty good teams coming up.


na i did in an earlier post, named all three of those schools. that district is stacked.

What bat sensor do you use?



i have a DK and blast. i like both but blast is easier to use because of the better app. i have the dk pitchtracker too my middle kid uses with his pitching coach.

also the blast app and blast vision app allow you to essentially have a hit trax type of environment without the investment

if you are looking for something cheap...DK usually has a sale at black friday where you can get the sensor and ball for 50 each. so its a much better deal than the blast. i actually think the dk bat sensor is better but blast app is 1000000 times better

So kinda like a rec league, then the AAA kids make the all star team, and then the all star team plays in 3 or so tournaments and then plays in a district tournament, and if they win that, they then go play in state, then regional, then a world series?

What a concept.

That's of course EXACTLY how it used to be.



When I was growing up, in rec ball, there would 8-10 teams with 12-13 kids a team. There would be a mid season tournament then an end of season tournament in which the winner would be the champs that season. Then they picked all stars and then I think they played at least 2 tournaments but if fully advanced it would have been maybe 5?

Then in HS there was American Legion and where I lived there were two HS and it would be the best from both schools.

Now, rec ball has to merge with another parish to have enough teams. I think my nephew played on one of four teams. No team had no more than 10 players. At some point the started making rosters of only 10 players so that everyone got to play. The kid who doesn't play defense is a DH and they have 10 batters.

that's where the parents really make it worse, they treat little Braxtyn as if he is a major league prospect instead of a kid just trying to learn a game


Yep. My parents would've told me to take off the glassese and hat at the table. There was no argument there.

na thats rec ball, look at those shitty fields...wouldnt be caught dead playing on some bullshite like that. dirt softball field....shite we arent playing on dirt anything much less dirt softball

hell its insulting for a 8u kid to have to play on a field that is only half turf. its 2023, get your shite together....little johnny deserves full turf



in all seriousness, that is the kind of behavior you see at rec or AA tournaments. you dont see that at the higher levels. the fact you are having to bring up a video that is over 4 years old says volumes imo

as far as the soccer comment.....maybe in louisiana, but go out west and tell me soccer isnt worse or go look at mexico. i mean how many mass stabbings do you have at baseball games.....just saying.
