How ridiculous can MAXPREP's be???

[NumeroUno]

I have a good one, I was told that a girl I know has hit 6 home runs in high school. I talked to her dad and I said " I hear your DD is doing real good 6 homers already" he laughed. He says ya if you count the one that bounced off the left fielders knee and roll 500 feet, that is one of them and the one that was hit hard up the middle on a real ugly field that hit a rock or something in the outfield and bounced over the center fielders head. 3 were off the pitchers that threw 50mph max right down the middle. He told me she hits the ball hard and infielders jump out of the way of the ground ball and the outfielders stand there watching the ball until it passes them and they give her doubles and triples. He is funny and he calls it like he sees it and never sugar coats anything. I told him to get on the bucket and tell everyone about his three girls and 12 years of watching high school softball but he says his wife forbids him to talk on a public forum.

Those are classic Numero Uno, too funny! When this thread started i started to look at some stats on MaxPreps, and the best one I could find besides the .900 On base pct, is ONE team has THREE girls leading the state in stolen bases, with the leader with like 40 something bags being stolen on like 20 hits. Talk about a coach who has the green light, she is stealing 2nd and 3rd every hit, (unless of course she is stealing home as well), even when they are up by 15, and he/she has THREE girls doing same thing, just too much for me

HGH

RBI-

look at those stats more and you'll see just how funky it can get...239 stolen bases on 89 attempts? They also have a girl with 7 hits, none for extra bases who has 28 rbi's...Come on coach - or whoever is posting stats!!

I had the guy keeping our hs stats say that anytime the ball is hit and the girl gets on base, it's considered a hit. Of course, that was for our team. When his dd pitched, the other team never got on with a hit, we made ALOT of errors!! hmmm.... and somehow his dd wound up with the highest batting % AND lowest era in the league......

I know the folks at MaxPreps and they want to be 100% accurate. If you know of stats that are wrong contact them. Stan Granch (stan@maxpreps.com) is great at dealing with this.

Remember, they are at the mercy of what is entered by the coach or score keeer so if they don't know what they are doing there isn't a ton they can do other than educate the coaches.


Thanks,

Thanks,

Everyone makes jokes about it but you can't blame MaxPreps they offer this free service for everyone to enjoy and it is what it is.

When I look at Maxpreps I always check out a game played that both teams have reported the stats. It is usually pretty clear that a mommy or daddy is padding DD's stats. And don't be surprised it happens with some of the bigger more respected programs "Oh Well"

MaxPreps is a joke. No policing.

DD’s HS has favorites. Special players never get errors recorded against them. If one of the Chosen makes a bad throw, an error is given to the one that was trying to catch it. Or, if someone drops a good throw, the error is charged to the one making the throw. When a Chosen One made a bad throw to another Chosen One and the ball was dropped, what should have been a routine ground ball out was scored as a hit.

It hurts me to say this, but my DD is one of the Chosen Ones.
(I think the coach likes me )

Tell him to check her night stand. That's the most likely place she has his gonads hidden.
