  • 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

    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

    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).

  • Baseball Cutoff and Backup Responsibilities - Pitchers

    Baseball Cutoff and Backup Responsibilities - Pitchers

    Baseball Cutoff and Backup Responsibilities - Pitchers The ability to fulfill baseball cutoff and backup responsibilities is what separates the good teams from the bad ones, the great teams from the good ones. Very few execute properly. Watch a typical youth baseball game when the ball gets hit into the outfield, and it’s a free-for-all. A scramble. Infielders look around in confusion. Most stand around and do very little. Young baseball players need to understand a very simple concept: No matter what the play, you always have a responsibility! If you aren’t moving — barring very few exceptions — you are likely doing something wrong. Cutoff and backup responsibilities are teamwork in action. Nine players moving at the same time for advancing the team. Here is a guide that covers 15 primary scenarios (five different hit types to each of the outfield positions). While this is oversimplified, it’s important that we don’t get bogged down in the details. There are always exceptions. There are always gray areas. There are always crazy plays you don’t expect. Sometimes a throw never makes it to a base, and instead stops at a cutoff man. We don’t need to create a chart that covers every cutoff and backup scenario imaginable. The goal is not for the kids to memorize these responsibilities. The goal is for them to reach that lightbulb moment when they understand why they need to be in a location at a particular time. Plays happen very quickly. Weird things happen. What we don’t want is for players to be going through their memory banks as the play is unfolding, trying to remember where a chart told them to play.

  • Ripken Baseball Camps and Clinics

    Ripken Baseball Camps and Clinics

    Basic Fundamentals of Outfield Play Outfield play, especially at the youth levels, often gets overlooked. Even though the outfielder is not directly involved in the majority of plays, coaches need to stress the importance of the position. An outfielder has to be able to maintain concentration throughout the game, because there may only be one or two hit balls that come directly to that player during the course of the contest. Those plays could be the most important ones. There also are many little things an outfielder can do -- backing up throws and other outfielders, cutting off balls and keeping runners from taking extra bases, and throwing to the proper cutoffs and bases – that don’t show up in a scorebook, but can really help a team play at a high level. Straightaway Positioning All outfielders – all fielders for that matter – must understand the concept of straightaway positioning. For an outfielder, the best way to determine straightaway positioning is to reference the bases. By drawing an imaginary line from first base through second base and into left field, the left fielder can determine where straightaway left actually is. The right fielder can do the same by drawing an imaginary line from third base through second base and into the outfield. The center fielder can simply use home plate and second base in a similar fashion. Of course, the actual depth that determines where straightaway is varies from age group to age group. Outfielders will shift their positioning throughout the game depending on the situation, the pitcher and the batter. But, especially at the younger ages, an outfielder who plays too close to the line or too close to another fielder can 1 create a huge advantage for opposing hitters.

  • DP/FLEX Strategies for Coaches

    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.
