2 games in a row without i.stewart (3 out of the last 5, all vs lefties)...looks like they're firmly on platoon-mode with him now (or he's banged up).

AZ Phil,

Any truth to Phil Rogers's claim today that Baez is on the cusp of a promotion to Peoria?

Now down 2-1 on pure Cubbery.

Typical that the ball gets knocked out of DeJesus glove by Barney when they collided near the RF line on a soft bloop.

The CABA and USSSA World Series for 9U, 11U, and 15U have been held in/around Crystal Lake for sometime. There's 8 and 9 yr old 'In-House' leagues in Arizona will talent equal or better than most travel teams around Chicago.

They've been trying to do the whole "travel leagues" thing for youths here in NC for years recently, but for the most part it seems to be the 12-18 year olds that fill the leagues.

They've offered (someone still might be organizing) U8/9/10/etc leagues, but they've been less than competitive to fill. It's not uncommon to see -12yo leagues with barely enough players to fill a 10-12 man roster.

The short-series "tourneys" are getting more popular, though. Kids basically practice for a short time then play in a week-long series or a series of weekend tourneys.

Some of the coaching (Dads) playing their kid at SS and P gets to some, but I'm generally in favor of anything that keeps them busy away from video games and trouble.

Athletic coaches were frequently as bad influences in my life as video games were. At least in my area, racism and sexism were extra common among athletic coaches, and so were the tendencies to scream at and/or humiliate anyone who disappointed you in any way.

This. I had some real assholes for coaches pre high school. The older and smarter I got, the more it turned me off. At some point you either have to accept the meatballness, or ignore it. I'm not particularly good at either.

Wrestling coaches were the absolute worst when I was growing up. You are already feeling miserable from cutting weight. Then you have to listen to an asshole say you have no heart, and how "In his day" I wouldn't have ever beat him.

full pdf of the CBA is out

http://bizofbaseball.com/index.php?option=com...

I scanned through it and there's no mention of designated hitter being negotiable or possibly being implemented other than to say during interleague games, there will be on in AL parks and the pitcher hits in NL parks. And in the ASG, there will be a DH for both leagues regardless of the park.

There's a possibility of an international draft in 2013 and there's an option for it to be implemented in each ensuing year.

CBA runs through 2016.
