If anyone’s son is playing at Traction this weekend, find Traction Canes 13U Black and I’ll give your son a helmet sticker. We play at 10 and 2 both days.

we played yall couple times in the feb tournament by the way. I think you can figure it out from there which team.
Well we played two teams twice in that tourney. So your kid is either on the team that beat the crap out of us or the team we beat the crap out of. I suspect it’s the team that beat the shite out of us :lol:

yea the twins with those bats was not fair
The twins with almost any bat is unfair. Kids can swing it.
Lucky for us, we play them this coming Sunday.

black emerald
That was wild. Saw a team hit 8 bombs in one game in Broussard with it. A kid would hit and just drop the bat at the plate for the next hitter to use.

at some point we cant legislate every risk out.
I agree. But we can reduce the risk. USA bats are used in every level of our Ascension Little League. Minors and majors. Of course the games are not as entertaining, but kids are still driving balls to gaps.
That’s a good thought. I don’t have all the answers. Those decisions will be made by people a lot smarter than me. We just need to use common sense regarding the safety of the kids.

Any updates on the kid? How’s he doing?
He was discharged yesterday. Still a long road to full recovery. But he’s doing about as well as someone with this type of injury can be. He will have periodic CT scans moving forward for a while.

Time for these leagues to step up and move toward use of wood bats. no thats dumb. not affordable for 90% of players
Just go to USA bats. Lower BPF. Balls won’t come off the bat nearly as hot. Is there a chance of pitchers still getting hit? Of course. But the chances of a pitcher stopping the ball or getting out of the way are increased.
At 13U and up, BBCOR should be mandatory.
Yes that was really cool. He’s also received video messages from Josh Smith and Paul Mainieri.

I put a post on Facebook Tuesday morning regarding the bats that sort of went viral. I’ve even had news outlets reach out about the situation. Hopefully some changes are on the horizon.

My son is a teammate of the kid who was hit on Sunday. It’s been a rough week to say the least. It all happened so quickly. He had no chance of stopping that ball or getting out of the way. And I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m terrified of the next time my son takes the mound.

Yep. There’s some grown arse men playing 13u ball.

54 feet. But your point remains. You’re 100% correct.

The kid who hit the ball was almost a full year older than the kid who was hit in the head. Again, not the kids fault. The rules need to be changed. A full year difference in the early teen years is a huge deal.

u trip -5 bats are way too hot these days
Especially for a 14 year old who was playing down in 13U because he was held back in school. The kid didnt do anything wrong, obviously. He was operating within the rules. The rules need to be changed though. For the bats and the grade exempt kids.

re: Leaving Mass right after Communion

Left the Easter Vigil last night after communion. We never do that, but it was a 3 hour Mass and almost 11 pm. My 3 year old had had enough.
Should be Jay Johnson
