12u Season Rankings UPDATED 6/12

[Chango15]

Wrong Fly out/Linedrivelouie/Softballjunkie, I said you were "connected" to the Hype. That's different than saying you are a parent...Bozo. Once again I'm RIGHT, you're wrong.

Linedrivelouie's rankings are a joke. He is now saying his #1 ranked team of last week now needs another pitcher? Magic ranked #6? Your #1 ranked team from last week coudnt even make the gold bracket. And they couldnt even come close to a PGF berth.

I was right on in December and I'm still right on.

[Outta Here!]

Chango - Louie said that he could throw a blanket over the top 3 (Grapes-K, Storm, and Hype) which means very little seperation between them. Frankly, every team listed on the ranking is beatable any given day and there is no dominate team in NorCal. As a result, this ranking will be a fluid list weekly. Since you think Louie's rankings are so bad then let's see one from you. Let's see your top 15, Chango.

So now Softball Junkie and I are both Line Drive Louie??? You should add Love This Game to your list of who Louie is He/she said some good things about the Hype. I would look at adding Outta Here too, he stood up for Louie and his Rankings. Maybe you should add the rest of the people on HB who think your a douche bag while your at it... Boy that will be one long moniker.

Since I am Line Drive Louie let me point out something the 4 or 5 of us said

1. Rocklin Hype: Kept entire roster intact from last season until Vegas where they lost their #2 pitcher. Will continue to play well in local tourneys. Do they have the pitching to play at a top level in the larger tournaments? I have only seen their other pitchers a few times if they fill that spot well the team will move on as strong as ever.

3. Rocklin Hype: Fresno Force 1, 1 and 1 on Saturday #3 seed. Didn’t make gold. Won the Silver Bracket. I am sure the team was looking for more out of their weekend as well. Pretty strong defensively, Balance line up with speed and power. Going to need another strong pitcher to go deep in the big tourneys

Looks like he questioned it last week and answered it after they played in a large tourney with top level teams. Oh I mean WE answered it.
I think I will change my moniker now, look out here comes... UncleBobFlyDriveHandLoveJunkieOuttaCricketDarter

Mrs. Cricket heard that the Rapids actually went 3-0 in Fresno on Saturday, despite what the Force website says. She was also told that their #1 pitcher was out of the lineup with an illness on Saturday, so those three wins must have come from one or more of their other pitchers. The #1 was back on Sunday, feeling well enough to keep the Firecrackers bats in check. With their win over Grapettes K at the qualifier, I'd probably move them ahead of Foothill Gold. Really, though, Louie seems to have a pretty good handle on things. These teams seem to fall in groups of three - you could "throw a blanket over" 1-3, and another one over 4-6, and another over 7-9. The way the teams are playing, I predict the differences will narrow, not grow, and NorCal is going to need one big blanket to cover its top 10 '00 teams by the end of season.

Cen Cal Angels/Miken played a California Breeze team in the championship of the NSA 12u B tournament in Manteca this weekend claiming to be a 10u team. Can anyone confirm or deny???

Louie, I enjoy ur rankings keep up the good work. But peeps, stop hating on teams and speak on teams strengths instead. This forum should probably be called Hate Bucket.

WIth all due respect to Outta Here!, this can never be confirmed, or denied. You will have to accept the uncertainty, Heisenberg.

[Stealing Home]

Can anyone confirm or deny a team of Mizuno's caliber playing down in the MDC this weekend? Just would think you would need to win a game or two at the local level first before taking the show on the road.

That was the 10u team that played in the 12u tourney in Manteca this weekend. They played up to get some good competition and experience in their quest to make 10u ASA nationals. Check the Breeze web site to confirm. It has pics of all the players. By the way, there are 4 girls on the team who are 8 & 9. The 12u Cen Cali Angels had their hands full in the B bracket championship game and resorted to what I would say are cheating tactics. When you have a base coach and a parent calling out the other catcher's pitch location out loud to your batters before every pitch throughout the game, and against a 10u team at that, it's pretty disgusting. I can only imagine what the rest of their organization is like if that's an acceptable norm for them.......Don't worry 12u Angels. The 10u Breeze are staying down and will see you next year if you play ASA tourneys with the real competition.
