16s FATT DADDY's ....what's going on!!

[ICMTM]

The problem isn't the TD's. It's the teams themselves. The Sorcerer may end up being one of the best teams in the country. Schroll has the establishment as he stays in 14s. THE BEST kids play for him. Mashburn has an establishment as well.

By the way it's not a knock on anyone but a more logical reason to why tournaments are the way they are. When the establishment plays against say the Yardsharks it's not fun for anyone so when you write the schedule try your best to prevent them from playing. The talent level in the field was way too different. No knock on the Yardsharks either. I know where they came from and they are working as hard as anybody, but if we're being honest they don't have Sorcerer type horses. They can't draw talent like the Breeze (or Bats) can. The challenge is to make everyone play good competition to get better. Mizuno was better off where they were as well. They need those games against the bigger teams.

The TD got it right. Sorry.

Pitching is such an important part of this game, and with that said the Sorcerers have put themselves on a different page now that the Smash/Crackers have become very limited, and if you dont have the horses come late July in 14's you will be packing your stuff, as once you get late into the week at PGF14's, its will turn into a slugfest if your not deep, as ALL the top teams have hitters and defense, its pitching DEPTH that is the key

Not trying to start any crap here, just asking a question. What do you mean when you sat firecrackers are "Limited?"

[covertaxn]

was a wild weekend in Lincoln it sounds like, my phone hasnt stopped ringing since late Saturday night. Sorcerer are all that, and a great group of kids representing Nor Cal very nicely. The final 2 were "as predicted", would have been nice to see Mashburn's #1 P vs Sorcerer. im sure we will see that soon enough. both teams play this game so well. hats of to both groups of kids.

Now, onto the wild.....

dancing and cowbells were still there!!! LMAO.... why is this the first call I get every weekend?

How about the hard slide? how about a girl throwing a punch? how about a girl being ejected for weekend for throwing said punch? How about a bucket of balls being tossed onto field causing forfeit of game? was all this one game? or spread out? or is this all the rumor mill?

anyone with intel, please do tell. was conflicting reports on what teams were involved, i think all the orange uniforms are throwing people. (msc, tc smash, nv lightning). what happened?

I saw the bucket toss. Lightning coach went nuts agains Grapettes Kappemeyer. My DD and I were there watching a friend of hers on Grapes. The umpiring was definitely below standards, but he was arguing balls and strikes the whole time. Then a terrible call at first base and be was out to argue. Definitely was making and effort to get tossed and the plate ump obliged. He then went back to the dugout. The next thing I saw was a bucket of balls rolling out of the dugout. The lid came off and balls were all over. The umps then called a forfeit. I think it was Lightning Martenson.. Pretty over the top, sad to see parents supporting the behavior. It was a close game, like 6-5 Grapes when this went down. They still went to gold bracket though.

Serious question Ive seen your best in 99 teams my opinion Sorcerers what team should so cal teams be looking out for in 98s that i havet seen yet...and Game I already know your thoughts on this so no need to respond!!lol

[Stealing Home]

A plea to the TD's out there. Only allow 1 team per organization into each division for your tournaments. Perhaps the Mizuno's, Bombers', and Foothill Gold's would learn to field 1 competative team and not allow any dad to creat a team from a pile of S**t. Wouldn't that make sense - 1 tryout per age group per organziation for 1 team.

TDs have to make money. But organizations should be 1 team per year, not per 2 years. It would help if TDs said to send your best 98 and your best 99 team, not all 5 of your 14u from 1 org. You are right that some orgs get too excited to fill up their list with coaches who have shown nothing except "look I have a team" because they convinced 10 parents from their rec league that they would get them a scholarship. The org wants to collect fees and be able to say they've got a lot of teams so some orgs will just take anybody willing to collect the money from the parents for them.

NorCal firecrackers, the top 98 finishers in premier last year are still one of the top teams in the country. Sorcerers will be adding their 98's to their team and will be strong too. Other than that nobody has proven that they can compete against SoCals top teams.

[GameTime23]

Any truth to RR99 breaking up?

I know they loss a BIG Fish from Fall, but word is players are trying out with other teams right now?

If so, that sucks....very strong team the past few yrs with some young stud 99's on that team.....
