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

[PVOUTLAW]

So GT123 what are your end of year rankings now that nationals are over?

[GameTime23]

14's FATT DADDY's Rankings.... End of Summer 8/21

[PVOUTLAW]

it will be interesting to see what 99 teams can compete with the remaining 14u teams, and will the upper tier 98 teams choose to play 16's locally or stay and beat up the 99's and other 98's

[GameTime23]

PVOUTLAWS.....

you are right about the 14's this fall.....Handfull of 98's should play 16's ,but many of them should play 14's and win first...Too many teams want to play 16's but didn't bust any grapes in 14's yet....

I think the incoming 99's will show well this fall.....

Let's see if we can get tournys where all the top dogs show up this Fall.....

[Iluvblue]

Unfortunately, the decision for a VERY GOOD 2nd year 14u to play up or not is normally not based upon ability, but the desire to play up so someone can say they are beating older teams. a 2nd year 14u team is made up of HS Freshman, and if they are good, not only will they be playing Varsity in HS, but they will be starters and major contributors. So FORGET THE AGE CRAP, it makes no difference. If a kid can play, she can play.

People always ask me about a 98 or a 99 or a whatever... and I cant even tell you what a 96,97, 98 or whatever is. I dont care. All I know is can a kid play or not.

My last year coaching 14u I was with Grapettes, and we were damn good, so before nationals we played up, but we didnt play up in 16u, we played up in 18u. After going 2-1 on Saturday, many of the parents were all happy that we went 2-1 against " 18u teams." I was not happy, because we should have been 3-0, then on Sunday we sent home one of the 18u Grapette teams, and then proceeded to beat 2 other teams that had already qualified for 18u ASA Nationals. Then in the Championship game the team we were supposed to play had to leave as it was getting late..... Oh, that weekend MANY 18u parents were complaining to the tourney director that he let a 14u play 18u. I wonder why? It wasnt like they had to play some team they beat by 15 runs in 3 innings.

As we were shaking hands with one of the 18u teams (that had one the Sac metro) I can still hear this big girl walking away saying how she couldnt believe they lost to a FU..... 14u team.


So please, all of you that make a big deal about a team playing up... stop already. They arent even playing up if they move up one age division, that is the same age kids separated by 1 stinking year, who cares.

IN some cases, some of those 14u teams are better of staying in a 14u tourney so they can funnel to the best teams and get some great games on Sunday, versus getting stuck in "EXPOSURE" crap, and playing two sorry ass 16u teams on Sunday....... oh, but wait, if you do that, you can go tell all your friends how you beat 16u teams last weekend..lol.

#4. Breeze97= Another well coached 97 team and loaded with talent. Team has been hot of lately and peeking at the right time. Team did ok at PGF, but might peaked a little too soon, But had a great season winning wise. Best of luck in the 16’s. very good players and coaching.

#5. Lady Hustle= Solid 97 team with a top 98 pitcher leading the way…..Top Nor Cal team @ TCS going 5-3 & placing 17th in power pool…. GREAT job and way to represent Nor Cal……. Team moving up to 16’s in Fall.

#6. Sorcerer= Added a new coach and a few new players for PGF. Didn’t play well at PGF and many of the players didn’t return. Team added a lot of old sorcerer98 and KG kids. Just added more new coaches and team isn’t the same as summer. Didn’t get the show out at tryouts as expected? Still has some of the top talent with very good coaching. Will need better pitching to be a top dogg again this fall.

#7.Breeze98= They are one of the top 98 teams by far ..Always loaded with talent, but not playing there best ball.. …But some concern with recent play, pending coaching and player movement this fall could be affecting their play. DM head coach again and handful of kids gone…..Will return in Fall as a top 98’s team…..

#8 Kryptonite97- Very good older team that can HIT the ball well. Will need to play more ASA and vs. top teams to move up. Team went 1-5 @ TCS and on they’re way to Nationals…. Hope you didn’t peek too soon… Good luck…. Team moving up to 16’s in Fall.

#13.KG Hitters= Young team (with 99’s ballin), but loaded with talent and GREAT coaching.. Finish season with CHAMPIONSHIP, but coaches and players defected and season OVER!!!!.

#18. RBI= Just stepped on the field and ballin. Final 4 at Fresno and Memorial Day. A lot of buzz with this team. Please stay away from usssa, that’s not your lane.
