Wonderful life lessons, but awful baseball strategy. The single might be much more desirable than the walk depending on the situation, but also, who is going to congratulate themselves on a job well done for keeping the bat on their shoulder, and being called out on an outside pitch with the bases loaded to end a game? There's a life lesson right there.
Baseball isn't life, I guess.
Still, in the next life, I want JVL as my little league coach.
Agree very much with the "do the right thing" process. Recall my father consoling me after a Little League tournament baseball loss by telling me that if I was comfortable I had given my best I should feel good.
On the subject of pigeons as food, growing up relatively poor in rural Illinois, pigeon pot pie was a common meal. Not because of any special magical benefits, but because it was readily available since farmers were happy to have someone hunt them and keep them out of their barns.
I'm guessing that the count when your son singles on an outside pitch is 3-0, not 0-3 unless the rules have changed a lot. This is one of the best yet. Thanks.
The problem with using "Real World" charts and graphs to describe any economic phenomenon is one thing. It breaks the cardinal rule of any economist "Assume the Market is Perfect".
"Wage-push inflation is an economic theory that states inflation occurs due to wages increasing. The theory claims that these higher wages will cause businesses to raise the price of their final goods, which can cause inflation."
This is a theory too. And I bet I can find more them one chart and graph that will debase it. The assumption of the perfect economy is the reason I have seen more then one superior mathematician ace a calculus test and completely pull their hair out in macro 101. But, in the end, I'm a follower. Due to JVLs opens I am setup to purchase my first NFT (a funny flying unicorn gremlin looking thing) and will soon own some of those Oculars Goggles. I haven't owned a gaming system since Nintendo. I am, however, probably one of the first to droves to fall in love with Zelda and beat Final Fantasy. Ah, the good ol days.
My 7 year-old is a tall lefty (4 foot 6). He desperately wanted to try shortstop in machine pitch last year. I let him and the first inning went well with him catching a pop up. Inning two he fields a grounder and can't figure how to throw to first. When they come into the dugout, he's says, "Guys I figured out what my dad always puts me at first or outfield."
I am very much in agreement that you look at the process and not the outcome. If you do something right and the result is not favorable, this does not mean that you were wrong. Also, if you do something wrong and the result is favorable, this does not mean you are right. However, you can still analyze the process to reflect new information and proceed to change where necessary. Sports is where I learned this and it is very easy to understand in this context - the whole win-lose distinction. The hard part is taking that process to real life, nuanced topics of policy and values and principles.

I don't think that there is ever an 0-3 pitch, but there is a 3-0 pitch. Opps.
I appreciated you sharing one of your parenting precepts. More please?
I'm guessing that the count when your son singles on an outside pitch is 3-0, not 0-3 unless the rules have changed a lot. This is one of the best yet. Thanks.

Hi.
An 0-3 pitch is a strike out. The count is 2 and 2 means two balls and two strikes. An 0-2 pitch means you already have two strikes.
I think you meant to write a 3-0 pitch. Ie an outside ball would be a walk.
