They protect your hand from metal spikes. They do prevent injuries in higher level ball but there is no need for them in younger ages. And unless you’re a true speed guy that’s stealing a lot of bases most players at all levels don’t need them at all.

I bought one. If you live close enough to the water or have a camp it’s worth it. If you’re an hour away it’s not. You’ll use it if you choose to use it. But it’s discretionary spending. If you can afford it go have fun with it. I’d encourage you to buy 2 though because it’s more fun with a group. If you have friends that already have one or have a boat then that works too. I do think people buy them and never use them. I live 10 minutes from the river so we take it out 1-2 times a month during the summer months.
Lulu is great but Vuori is the best for men’s athletic shorts and clothes.

If you hunt in Sitka clothes Vuori is the athletic shorts for you.
That was everything that was good about baseball. The sh”t talkers had to back it up. Now days they’ll suspend you so you graze them in the knee.
I have a friend that does that when we go to their camp. Imagine a honey bun for breakfast that’s a thousand calories. Makes my toes swell just thinking about it.
Warm it for 35 seconds in the microwave and it’s incredible. But of course 1 honey bun in a package is considered 2 servings. How many of you eat half of a honey bun?

So one serving is 295 calories.
I think what will be interesting is how the factories increase production capacity in the US. Many of these manufacturers operate in multiple country’s. The factories in the most favorable markets are at max capacity. So now the US factories will ramp up to max capacity and costs stay the same. The reason it works is because it’s wide spread so it forces everyone to respond or not respond to us. It’ll take some time to settle it out but in 90 days it’ll settle and we’ll be cruising.

re: This guy gets it, re Travel ball

There’s a balance to it. Rec league should always have a place as a low cost alternative. I think it was $50 when my kids played.

But the high level ball has a place too. Most kids that everyone says play travel ball don’t really travel more than a town or 2 over. Certainly some do but there’s options for plenty of ball with no hotels at all.

But these kids playing in college….Juco all the way to SEC level played a ton of true travel ball. It’s insane what it takes for a kid to get a college offer at a high level juco or higher. The real money is spent on summer ball for high school kids.
I’ll give you Dickinson but Milam isn’t an SEC SS. He made some great plays at SS but his bat is average. The fact that JJ can recruit so well and not get an SEC SS on campus is troubling.

Dickinson is solid at 2B and at the plate.

But
3B….who’s our guy?
RF…who’s our guy?
CF…who’s our guy?
Saturday starter….
Sunday Starter…
Catcher…?
Make a damn decision…hard to perform when you can’t settle in as a player.
We’re not ready for the tight spot yet and that primarily bc we never got tested until SEC play. Not sure if that’s JJ or admin on schedule but we better figure it out fast.
That’s the real issue. We scheduled soft and didn’t use the schedule to learn about any one. First time they got in a tight spot against a quality opponent we flopped.

Real coaching begins now. It’s still early but to start SEC play and not really be settled on much of anything is a little unsettling. Only sure thing is the Friday night guy, 1B and LF/ lead off. The rest is take it or leave it any given day.
My BIL got one when he was about 19. Literally ran it into a guard rail coincidentally right in front of my in laws. They called an ambulance. Bike exploded into pieces. He walked away other than a major gash on his calf that took multiple visits to wound specialist.
They’ve got some new leaves sprouting so I wasn’t sure.

I didn’t get around to it yet but planned to this weekend.
Every single member of congress has an auto pen. Not sure about the president but everyone else does. But generally it’s used for a generic letter and signed with a blue felt point pen.
The proposal I heard was 80% goes towards debt and the other 20% goes back to taxpayers.
Agree completely but a little known fact is the ads for as much for the doctors as they are the patients. It’s all brand awareness. But with the ability to target marketing to people’s phones in surprised these companies still use this broad based technique.
I would have died trying. There’s no way I leave them behind. Even if they die we all die. This is tragic in so many ways.

Well one of them is playing for the NC this year and the other one isn’t. Kelly clearly left ND in a good spot. Freeman capitalized on the opp. Both are good coaches. The rest is irrelevant. LSU fans are WAY too insecure that ND is in the title game. It’s like we thought they would close down the program. Move on.
Imagine if every neighbor stayed and stood outside with their own water hose and just sprayed each ember that hit their yard. Sounds like that's all he did. Im sure for some it was inevitable especially if the neighbors house went up.
Man that’s a bit extreme and clearly you found the wrong places. Would like to hear where you ate.

Mazens in LC
Luna
Calla
Steamboat Bills

But even In Laws, Cottons, Darrells. All great places to eat.

Pats of Henderson is terrible but seems to be popular among old people.

Lafayette has some great places also.
FBI said today they had surveillance video of him leaving them. I have yet to see the video but ABC showed still images of him out allegedly leaving them although I’m not sure any of them actually showed the drop.
