Concrete work baw.

All those data centers and supporting building ain't sitting on gravel.

I know a guy that both he and his wife are real estate agents, they flip houses as well, they pay to have them come to the house to do routine oil changes.

To each their own, I can't imagine what that would run compared to DIY.

I haven't exaggerated anything. You just can't read.

I said we play competitive 10u. I said we regularly face 50+, commonly 55+, and have even seen 1 girl throwing 62.

I said there's top teams in Birmingham area, more so than the other states and they have multiple pgf tournaments in the Birmingham area every year.

All facts.

For legit travel ball teams, they aren't really able to play in local tournaments

Softball is very different local wise. Birmingham area has more of the top teams than anywhere else in the southeast. Teams travel from Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia, etc to play in USSSA open tournaments hosted in Birmingham.

So your statement is not true here. Birmingham area hosts several PGFs each season as well.

As far as pitch speed, again I see it almost every weekend. We have 2 10 year olds over 50 on our team, I can think of 4 girls in the area that are 55+ just on Birmingham teams. I could dox the kid throwing 62 and tell you what team she plays for but I'd rather not.

I've already said it, we see 55+ regularly in 10u, we have only seen 60+ one time.

ETA: hell most C class teams have a girl throwing 50 in 10u around here :lol:

have an 8 year old that plays tournament ball. All of his friends play on various tournament ball teams. I would put the percentage of teams that play a fall schedule at around 5% and it tends to be the teams from small towns that don’t have a ton of other options.

It's also what amount, there are teams around us that practice for 10+ hours a week. Some practice 3. That's a big difference.

2 weeks to flatten the coast.

Here's what no one will want to hear.

My daughter plays 10u open class competitive softball. Legit shite, girls are throwing 55-60 mph from 35 feet.

My son, made 6u rec all stars, we will spend an equal amount on all stars for 2 weeks that we did on my oldest daughters entire spring travel season.

People can certainly take the travel ball shite too far, but there is a TON of middle ground.

I'm no rocket scientist but I'm pretty sure the water moving under the rocket has nothing to do with its flight characteristics.

Had these 2 getting busy the other day.
