I am coaching the Diamondbacks again this year. I am a little hesitant about it because of the time commitment, but Sam and Ammon are playing on my team this year. My entire team is pretty raw, I have 3 returning players, but you can tell the off season has not been good to them. We had an exhibition game yesterday against the Mets and were spanked hard by them 11 to 4. Our pitching was horrendous and our infield allowed way too many runs. We had a player steal 3rd base right in front of our shortstop who happened to be holding the ball as she ran past him. Our 3rd baseman threw the ball to home plate for a hail mary play while a runner was bearing down on him from 2nd. Our catcher was watching the visiting team bench while the pitcher was pitching to him. I was jumping up and down like a madman yelling at everybody trying to call plays and position players. It is going to be a long season. I guess I shouldn't complain too much they've only had 2 practises so far and we were wanting to see how they fared in a game scenario. Sam didn't catch the ball but he made two plays. Both him and Ammon struck out at the plate. I need to work with them more.
I tried getting out of the commitment, but was unable. I have so much on my plate right now it is a little nerve racking for me. Maybe it will help me relax a little, who knows. At least I will be able to spend a lot of time with the boys helping them hone their skills.

Product Testing!

Most people don't know that I recently started loading my own ammunition. I decided to take another thing that I love and make a business out of it especially since ammunition is very difficult to find these days. I listed it on KSL.com and within 1 hour I had a hit for someone wanting to buy everything that I had. I got another guy who contacted me and told me when I had another 1,000 rounds that he was willing to buy them. I've been asked about making other calibers than those that I listed. I went out today and tested my first rounds and they are some of the best rounds I've ever fired! I couldn't believe the smoothness of the firing of the rounds and their accuracy was amazing. I was shooting the .380 with the rounds that I loaded, which were 100 gr rated at 825 fps with the charge loads I was putting in them and at roughly 75 feet I was placing them in a grouping of about 2 inches on a target that was moving with every shot that hit. The recoil was minimized the accuracy was spot on. I will never go back to store bought rounds again. I had a blast, and I was very pleased with the product that I created. I can't wait to go back out on the 28th! Those of you who are going out with me, be prepared to have a blast (literally).

America!

This video says everything! I know it doesn't have anything to do with my family, but I wanted to put it here any way.
