Change up outside corner incoming

That’s what a good defense can do Yeah, our shortstop would never have made that play. Retard

Our shortstop would have been in short right field. The second baseman would have had to backhand it playing up the middle and may have gotten the out at first.

16. Rangers: Justin Lebron, SS, Alabama (No. 5) Fourteen months ago, Lebron was the favorite to go 1-1, even ahead of Cholowsky. Then he struggled a bit in Southeastern Conference play last spring before hitting .266/.389/.505 with 17 errors in 49 games as a junior. He does have 12 homers and 36 steals and perhaps four plus tools, so he could go anywhere from the middle of the top 10 to the late teens.

Yikes. .266 batter with 17 errors going in the top 20?

Finally got the right combination of guys playing at the same time. Freshman are getting better also

Say what you want but JJ dropped the ball this season with lineup adjustments.

Why? Just why?

Right in the nards

Very few are playing back because the majority of the boys born late Mar to Aug are being held back by their parents. Its gotten so bad at our school that administration is stepping in and no longer allowing hold backs in pre K because there wasn't any room for the next class.

Which would also stop if you got rid of grade level exemptions. Kids should play with kids their own age. Just because Jax from Amite’s dad held his son back because he couldn’t hang with kids his age and could dominate kids that aren’t as developed as him doesn’t mean it is right.

they are not in the older grade

for example, most kids in 13u born between may 1 and August 31 are in the 7th grade and playing with their grade.

thats what you are not understanding

nor do they need to be in 8th grade

im sorry but kids, especially boys, do not need to graduate HS at 17. there is zero rush to hurry and go work.

---

I'm not saying they need to graduate later. I'm saying 2d and these organizations should align with schools on birthday cutoffs.

Are all kids born after May playing with the grade level below them? No. All I'm saying is any kid with a birthday between May and August could play a grade level down.

No we aren't talking about all kids here but I see it just about every weekend where a 4th grader with a later birthday playing with 3rd graders, or 8th graders are playing with 7th graders.

Hell I saw just last weekend a third grader with a May birthday (usually playing 9U kids pitch AAA) playing 8U coaches pitch because his birthday allowed it. All because they turn that age between May and September.

If you are going to keep grade level exemptions (which I agree with you on getting rid of those you should just play with your age) then align with the schools on birthday cutoff date.

2D rules allow you to have 3 kids that are 14 play in 13U


Who in the world thought these rules would be a good thing to do?

---

Another thing to take into consideration is the age cutoff date, which doesn't align with schools.

May 1st . Most school cutoff dates are August/September. I know you have to choose a date, but why not align with schools?

Basically you have 5/12 months worth of kids that can play a grade level down.

By rule you could have a kid that turns 16 on May 2nd, was held back, but still playing with 8th graders.
