  • Baseball in Wartime
    Gary Bedingfield’s Baseball Volume 3, Issue 27 in Wartime Baseball December 2009 www.baseballinwartime.com [email protected] www.baseballinwartime.com in Wartime baseballinwartime.blogspot.com Merry Christmas from Baseball in Wartime Greetings to you all! Yes, it’s that time of year again and I really can’t believe how we got here so quickly. I also can’t believe that this is the 27th issue of the Baseball in Wartime Newsletter. It was in September 2007 that I put together the first two- page edition of this newsletter as a way of sharing information that did generally fit within the scope of the Baseball in Wartime website. Things have certainly grown since those humble beginnings and in October I launched the Baseball in Wartime Blog. The issue I am now pondering over is whether there is still a need for the newsletter in light of the existence of the blog? Do the newsletter and blog serve the same purpose? The advantage of the blog is that it is updated daily, providing you with a constant update on WWII baseball news together with regular features. The newsletter on the other hand, is a monthly release but has the advantage of being printable and is delivered right to your email inbox. I guess, at this stage, I’m looking for feedback. If I get enough positive response for the newsletter then I’ll gladly keep producing it on a monthly basis. If, however, you would rather access this type of information via the blog, then I’ll phase out the newsletter over the next few months.

  • DP/FLEX Strategies for Coaches
    DP/FLEX RULE Basic Utilization Strategies for Coaches The following are basic strategies a coach might utilize to match the skills of the DP and FLEX players to complement one another. 1. Objective: Utilize a fast runner who is a weak hitter (FLEX) to run for the solid hitting DP. a. Matchup: Pair up a solid hitter (DP) with a player of exceptional speed but who is a weak hitter (FLEX). b. Typical sequence: DP hits safely; FLEX enters to run for her; DP reenters and hits safely; FLEX enters to run for her; sub #1 hits for DP (since the DP already used her one re- entry), FLEX enters to run for sub #1; sub #1 reenters and hits safely; FLEX enters to run for sub #1; sub #2 hits safely; FLEX enters to run for her; and so on. 2. Objective: List a power hitter as the FLEX player when you have a platoon of players who will be the DP’s. a. Matchup: Pair up an average player (DP) with a good hitting, but slow runner (FLEX) who also plays defense. b. Typical sequence: As the spot in the batting order comes up, enter the FLEX who hits safely; reenter the DP to run; enter the FLEX who hits safely; sub #1 enters to run (since the DP already used her one re-entry); enter the FLEX who hits safely; sub #1 reenters to run; FLEX hits safely; sub #2 enters to run; and so on. 3. Objective: Create a space in the lineup for relief pitchers who do not hit, while allowing the starting pitcher to also play offense.
