"Fistful of Bees"

Looking to see if people know exactly where the problem lies. Every year when I start getting ready for the season in the batting cages, I'm constantly getting strong vibrations in my wood bat on…Continue

Do you have a kangaroo court?

Does anyone who plays in the adult leagues have a kangaroo court on your team? What interesting rules do you have? I've seen some teams that even have a written and printed multi-page document of…Continue

What do you do? Bunt? More BP? No-stride? Choke up? What techniques do you have to break out of it?

Patrick Laverty commented on Bill Stanton's blog post Moneyball Jr.: Baseball for minors looks a lot like the Majors"Kip, one could even possibly say there are fewer scholarships available today. Due to a variety of reasons, some colleges saw fit to eliminate their baseball program and you rarely hear of new Division 1 or 2 programs starting up. (D3 doesn't…"
Patrick Laverty commented on Miles Noland's blog post The Secret Arm Abuser"Some teams really put their worst player at catcher? Oh man. Coaches are even dumber than I gave them credit for. Usually when I coach in leagues that have a draft, my #1 pick is catcher. You need to be strong up the middle and that starts with a…"

Patrick Laverty replied to David Franco's discussion The Mental Side of Baseball: Playing at Your Ideal Emotional Level… Even When Stuff Hits the Fan in the group Youth Baseball Coaches"When my players are getting ready for a big game, playoffs or tournament, I try to convince them that essentially, the game is exactly the same as a backyard wiffleball game with friends. Quite often, your friends are better than you at…"
Patrick Laverty replied to David Franco's discussion The Mental Side of Baseball: Playing at Your Ideal Emotional Level… Even When Stuff Hits the Fan in the group Youth Baseball Coaches"I had the pleasure of working with Harvey Dorffman and Brian Peterson for a couple years. Both are also excellent people and great professionals."
Patrick Laverty replied to Walt West's discussion Professional Ethics? in the group Hitting Coaches and Instructors"If he's ripping your coaching style and abilities, maybe call him or talk to him one on one about how you two could get on the same page and discuss coaching differences and why they're different. Maybe he knows something that you…"
Patrick Laverty replied to Walt West's discussion Professional Ethics? in the group Hitting Coaches and Instructors"What is "the MLB swing"? Ichiro's? Barry Bonds'? Matt Holliday's? Robinson Cano's? Adrian Gonzalez? Are you saying they all have the same swing?"
Patrick Laverty replied to Walt West's discussion Professional Ethics? in the group Hitting Coaches and Instructors"Without reading the other responses first and just the question, my answer is no, I would never tell a kid he's doing everything wrong and no, I would never rip another coach or attack his credibility. There are some things that work for…"

Patrick Laverty replied to Bill Stanton's discussion Where are all the Catchers?"Kip, I think in some instances, it's not a bad thing to have the catcher call the game and the pitcher follow along unless he disagrees. Josh Beckett learned this early on in his Boston career when he was very frequently shaking off…"
Patrick Laverty replied to Bill Stanton's discussion Where are all the Catchers?"Larry is right. Every coach does want a very good catcher. When I started coaching and moved to my new town, I knew none of the kids and sat in a draft for a 13 year old Babe Ruth team with 6 other coaches who'd been with the kids…"
Patrick Laverty replied to Bill Stanton's discussion Where are all the Catchers?"Maybe part of it at higher levels is while most non-pitchers are off in the cages hitting, the catchers are squatting there catching pitcher after pitcher while the coaches are working with the pitchers. The catchers are continually and…"

Perry Lee Barber said… - Hi, Patrick, and welcome to checkswing.com. I see you've already been participating in online discussions, but you'll also find that checkswing can be an invaluable resource for finding out about umpiring opportunities locally and globally. I umpired a tournament in Hong Kong during February that I found out about through a connection here on the site, so I can attest to the fact that "relationships" made online online actually work in a real and significant way to advance our umpiring careers.
Most of all, it's a fun and stimulating way to stay in touch with your fellow umpires and get different viewpoints about plays and situations.
Glad you've joined us here,
Perry Barber
