12U ASA Nationals Pool Play

[glasshalfempty]

Looks like ASA put all the California teams in separate pools. Good idea! The question is, how many So Cal teams will win their pools and who? Let the survey begin.

My 2 cents on a few: First of all I cannot wait to watch TPS play FC98.

Pool A will not be tough for OCBB............

Pool M I would not look past Vipers-Miller, they are the 98 team and are extremely strong and very well coached. This coach took his eldest to 2nd at the 2004 12U NATS then sent his whole 18 gold Vipers to d1 schools in 2008-2009

Pool N I would definitly not look past the Fury, they have lots of pitching, ace throwing around 61-62 with the best drop and change I have seen in a long time, with a very strong infield

Pool O No doubt the Texas Rip wins this pool

Pool S I agree that Victory wins and the first game will be a cake walk, but although they may beat the next team (IMO it will be Katy Force) that will NOT be a cake walk. Katy Force is a very good team.

Remember these are only my opinions so lets not turn this into a trash talking thread. I am from Atl. Ga. so I gotta terrible 165 mile drive...............LOL, I do wish all the West Coast teams safe flights and travels. Cannot wait to see your talented teams.

Well glass, I must say that you have my vote of confidence on the majority of your choices with the exception of a couple... I think So Cal Choppers Black have a tough go at it with the AZ HOTSHOTS. Texas RIP is DAMN GOOD too, so OCBB Briggs has their work cut out for them from research!!! Victory has a tough time getting past Katy Force too. SoCal Breakers likewise with ATL Vipers Miller (inside info tells me they are LEGIT!!!) and last but not least, 2nd round of pool play the Firecrackers get handed a lil bit of reality by TPS 98!!! Don't worry though, it's only pool play so don't everyone go get all butt hurt!!! It's just a prediction and JMO!!!

Texas RIP is not that good. Texas has a handful of good teams, but outside of TPS98 I dont see any of them making any serious noise. GA has a couple that can compete. My prediction for the top 5 (depending on draw)

GA Impact, Worth Cobras, TPS-98, OC BB & FC 98.

TPS 98 vs FC 98, rematch of a 10U nationals game that TPS won. My prediction is my man Jody pulls off another win. I'm going to have to break out my retro TPS shirt for this game.

OCBB 98 will win their pool. George Impact is overated. The best teams out of Georgia are the Worth Cobras and Vipers.

I heard Katy Force beat TPS once this year back in November. Still, Victory wins their pool.

Hmmm....I'm laying the odds that GlassHalfEmpty just might be from California with those predictions.
