553355 7* is playing an exhibition game against your kids right now. I'll look at how well things are going and tell you what I found. I"m going to throttle the game so it goes fast.

Try switching things up. Think outside of the box. Every time your team seems to be stuck you are the one you who can get them going again. Sometimes Smallball is counterintuitive. You think your team hits poorly, so you train more and more in hitting, and yet your team hits even worse. So try something different.

Its really impossible for anyone to help you without knowing how you train, or what your players are lacking. So lets do this.........


Send me a pm, detailing how you train and I'll give you a scouting report ticket. Send me back a copy of the report so I can look it over, and maybe give you a training schedule to go with how your team is doing so far. Once balanced out....you can do individual player training later on. For now, you need to blanket train and balance the team out to at least a 9*


Edit..........waited for a reply, but have to go, so I'll be back in a few days to see if you have sent a message my way.

GL and always have FUN
