Be like a college team... send your signals via a wristband!

LINK

quote:

Game Day Signals uses encrypted low-band radio waves with a range of 500-550 feet, Malay said, and the battery life is five to six hours before recharging is required.

To call a pitch, the coach typically presses two numbers into his keypad. For example, “1-1” could mean fastball, low and away. When the sign is sent, the pitcher's wristband vibrates. If the pitcher doesn't like the pitch, he can shake it off as he would with the catcher and the coach sends in a new sign.

Use of the technology has expanded beyond dugout to mound. Vanderbilt, for example, has all nine players in the field wear the wristband. The coaches' keypad can deliver up to six digits, so combinations of numbers could be used to call pickoff plays or make defensive adjustments.

Teams also could use the technology on offense to signal steals or hit-and-runs.


Now 9 year old Braxxxxton doesn't need to get confused between the signal for high and inside and the signal for the other high and inside.

quote:

Malay said it costs $3,000 to $4,000 for a full package, which includes one coach’s keypad and 10 player wristbands.


That's cheap compared to the joy Braeighden's parents will get when his team wins their two team bracket next weekend!

Braiylynnn's coach is already working with L3 to create a system to intercept those signals.

Yeah, until Braxton goes to high school and doesn’t know how to get a sign from a coach.

Don’t worry OT. Impending economic collapse takes a lot of this trailer-park-riiiiiiiich behavior off the table.

so the team meeting before the first game to go over the signals our HS coach would give by leaning on the fence different ways after he got tossed from the game is no longer needed... what a world.

What is the numeric code for, "Go ahead and balk the runners over so that first base is open for you to bounce your changeup into the batter's shin."

That's the wristband I need.

Screw all of you haters. 12 years ago, my daughter’s (no pics) softball team (9-12) had a fungoman. We hauled it around to tournaments and even used it to warm up before games. People looked at us like we were crazy...we didn’t care, money well spent...LOL. The secret is to always have a successful attorney as one of the coaches.

The OTs obsession with shitting on travel ball is strange

And the one liners about the names are played out as well. Y’all need some new schticks

Every team's gonna have one. Travel ball dues just went from $2500 to $3K to pay for a set of these.

You gotta make sure Coach Caleb or Coach Josh or Coach Tyler can always be driving the newest pickup trucks.

My strategy is to hurl obscenities at the opposing 12 year old pitcher. It’s a time honored and proven strategy to shake their confidence.

My little slugger Traxton already has one that matches his G-Wagon he’ll get when he turns 15.

This thing was so annoying when Vandy used it last weekend. Ridiculous waste of time.
