To my last living Grandparent - Grandma "Bud" Kersch - who passed earlier today at the age of 96 (having lived on her own her whole life and continued to drive throughout), I say thank you for your Godly example & guidance.
Happy that you & Grandpa are back together again. Love,

The back yard field that my dad, my grandpas, my brother and I built in '84 (before the movie) and enjoyed as kids - 290 down lines & 360 to center so even I could hits pumps! Wish my daughters had something similar - in particular right now.

Either we are really over-reacting or this is really serious right?

We have and utilize all of these products I mentioned.
My point is simply that while all the new technology is great, we are walking the line right now of taking it too far. We all must adapt or die, we also need to remember/respect/value the human element of the game.
2019 be like:
Rapsodo, Blast & K-Vest tell me that your swing needs work. I can't tell you how to fix it and I'm not 100% sure that it won't work, but I do know how to compile all the data even if I'm not sure how it can help or hurt you.

Sure, just like over-coaching, over analyzing, over filling someone with info... paralysis by analysis.
I love all the new info as long as you know who, what, when, where, & how you are using/delivering it. Some players need it and some don't. Nothing can replace feel.

Unfortunately with our microwave society of no patience, delusional self value and the great fix all/reset button that the transfer portal is, I'm not sure "working while you wait" is very well understood or accepted. Transfer of blame & grass is greener... Just not real life.
Wanted to share a little nugget I took away from our Blacksburg regional from

Until NCAA steps in and makes schools sign players immediately that they commit, it's only going to get worse.

Nuff said on it. Old school has spoken. The great Itch Jones would always say: "don't blame me if you aren't good - get or be better."
@tatis_jr
didn't steal a base. He swung the bat... when pitchers stop trying to get hitters out, then hitters should stop trying to hit.
So you take a pitch...now you're 3-1. Then the pitcher comes back with a great setup pitch...3-2. Now you're ready to groundout into a double play. Everyone should hit 3-0. Grand Slams are a huge stat.

Are programs subtracting current players and/or opportunities of guys who have worked hard for opportunities to add an "upgrade?"
