  • Last Week We Read the First Part of Chapter 16 from Luke About the Parable That Jesus Told About the Dishonest Manager
    Last week we read the first part of chapter 16 from Luke about the parable that Jesus told about the dishonest manager. That was a very difficult parable to understand because Jesus seems to lift up the dishonest manager as the hero in the story. I shared one possible interpretation that the parable could be about how we are called to be good stewards of the resources that we are given. To not waste our money and resources when they can be used in a way that is pleasing to God. This week we will be reading another parable that Jesus shares. This one is found at the end of the 16th chapter of Luke. I will warn you. It is another parable about money and wealth. And this parable seems to suggest that the way we handle our wealth and money has eternal consequences. We are reminded that parables are stories told by Jesus that used everyday images to convey important messages. Stories which had multiple levels of meaning. The gospel of Luke records lots of parables told by Jesus. In this parable that we are about to read, we will be introduced to a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus. This is the only parable that Jesus tells in which someone is named in the parable. Lazarus here is not to be confused with the Lazarus that was raised from the dead in the gospel according to John. That seems to be a different person. Lazarus is a derivative of the name Eliazar, a name in the Bible which means “God helps.” “God helps.” Some people have given the name Dives to the rich man in this story.

  • The Rules of Scoring
    THE RULES OF SCORING 2011 OFFICIAL BASEBALL RULES WITH CHANGES FROM LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL’S “WHAT’S THE SCORE” PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION These “Rules of Scoring” are for the use of those managers and coaches who want to score a Juvenile or Minor League game or wish to know how to correctly score a play or a time at bat during a Juvenile or Minor League game. These “Rules of Scoring” address the recording of individual and team actions, runs batted in, base hits and determining their value, stolen bases and caught stealing, sacrifices, put outs and assists, when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, wild pitches and passed balls, bases on balls and strikeouts, earned runs, and the winning and losing pitcher. Unlike the Official Baseball Rules used by professional baseball and many amateur leagues, the Little League Playing Rules do not address The Rules of Scoring. However, the Little League Rules of Scoring are similar to the scoring rules used in professional baseball found in Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules. Consequently, Rule 10 of the Official Baseball Rules is used as the basis for these Rules of Scoring. However, there are differences (e.g., when to charge or not charge a fielder with an error, runs batted in, winning and losing pitcher). These differences are based on Little League Baseball’s “What’s the Score” booklet. Those additional rules and those modified rules from the “What’s the Score” booklet are in italics. The “What’s the Score” booklet assigns the Official Scorer certain duties under Little League Regulation VI concerning pitching limits which have not implemented by the IAB (see Juvenile League Rule 12.08.08).

  • 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.

  • Questions & Answers Regarding Offensive and Defensive Charged Conferences in Baseball
    Offensive and Defensive Charged Conferences 1. Is a defensive timeout charged when the catcher goes out to the mound after the last pitch thrown between innings? Updated timing rules require the pitcher to be ready to throw the first pitch of the inning prior to the expiration of 120 seconds between innings. The catcher could visit the pitcher briefly within that time frame without a charged conference as long as the timing rule is not violated or ask the umpire for extra “time” to go visit the mound after the last pitch but be charged one of the team’s 6 conferences. 2. Is a defensive timeout charged if the catcher goes out to the mound after an umpire or hitter is hit with a pitch or foul ball? No, during a time out for an injury to a player or umpire, another player visiting the pitcher is not a charged conference, provided that the visit does not otherwise delay the return to game action. This has typically been a courtesy visit to give the umpire/catcher/batter time to collect themselves. 3. Can the offensive base runners, batter and coaches’ conference during a pitching change without being charged a timeout? Yes, the offense can get together during a pitching change as that is not a charged conference. However, the base runners must be back at their bases prior to the last warm-up pitch so the game can be started without waiting for them to return. If they are slow returning and the game is delayed waiting for them to return to their bases, it would be a charged offensive conference.

  • Baseball Has Changed – the Demise of the Complete Game and Other Tidbits
    Baseball Has Changed – The Demise of the Complete Game and Other Tidbits I love baseball. I think it is a great sport. But, like all things, it has changed over the years. One major change, to me, is that it appears to be the age of specialization within baseball. This is particularly true for pitchers. There are starting pitchers, long -relief pitchers short-relief pitchers, right-handed pitchers, left-handed pitchers, and closers. Fifty years ago, one of my baseball heroes, Bob Gibson, pitched in 34 games for the St. Louis Cardinals. He finished with 22 wins and 9 loses. His earned run average per game was 1.12. Nobody has come close to that since then. He had 268 strikeouts. And most amazingly, Bob Gibson had 28 complete games in that 1968 season. 28 out of 34 games – he started, and he finished – no one came into relief him. Last year the National League only had 27 complete games – less than Gibson’s total by himself in 1968. The American League didn’t do much better. It only had 32 complete games. Yes, baseball has changed. This month’s publication looks at some data from the baseball diamond, much of it comparing the NL with the AL. Of course, that means a discussion of the designated hitter rule. We will use the simplest of tools to determine what is happening – a run (time series) chart. Simply plotting the data over time. So much you can learn just from that. But we do finish with a control chart – that gives you even more information.
