So its probably to help get the cycle speed up as well. Gas guns can be made to run much faster than inertia ones.

Well if you live next to the river, expect river things to happen.

Its one of the few economic assets this state has and this is a huge one.

So true.

But it isnt life consuming

I like my avets a whole lot but I cant imagine using even an SXJ for trout fishing. A regular ol spinning reel is just too easy and plenty enough horsepower. We catch mangroves on regular ole spinning reels. I like the shimano nasci of appropriate size for everything inshore and most things near shore.

During the game, Skip would have a graduate assistant go to the concession stand and get a coffee, a Coke and a hot dog and bring everything down to the dugout. Skip would make sure the coffee was hot, the Coke had enough ice and the hot dog tasted good and was cooked properly.

That is awesome and so enviable. What an exceptional leader.

Some degree of sports specialization is necessary to develop elite-level skill development. However, for most sports, such intense training in a single sport to the exclusion of others should be delayed until late adolescence to optimize success while minimizing injury, psychological stress, and burnout

I have heard something similar come straight out the mouth of an olympic track and field coach with a lot of gold medals to his resume.

Yea, thats what I said.

This is you and your ilks problem. You cant step back and look at what youre doing. Little Timmy isnt going to the show, and probably isnt playing college ball either. The whole of his first 18 years of life being consumed by baseball is not healthy. Yet every high school team roster is now top to bottom a bunch of timmys who are hoping for a walk on juco deal but in reality wont ever play the sport again, and didnt do anything as kids except play baseball. Im sure your kid is the exception to the rule and is wonderfully well rounded, but everyone else here sees the travel ball stereotype play out in kids and families they know. It isnt good for anyone.

The quality of play of high school baseball? The quality of play of high school baseball is irrleevent. Its a high school sport. A very few small number of God gifted athletes will do it for a living but the general idea is it should be fun, competitive, and help teach young boys how to be men. Yall travel ballers have completely removed the sport as an option for a talented high school kid who didnt want to consume his entire childhood with it.

Track and field is the superior spring sport anyway and I only hope club track doesnt ruin that. Its ruined pole vaulting already.
