12u Season Rankings UPDATED 6/12

[Bob Uecker]

Wow Chango15!!! Speaking of Girly-Man, you might want to change your panties because of all of that sourness you carry. Dude move on and accept the fact that you were not included in the Magic' s future and help your DD succeed with whomever she is with now.

Good thing you hide behind your moniker because your hate is pathetic.

Lady Magic Friendly-
Magic 8 Stompers 6
Storm 7 Grapettes K 1
Magic 4 Grapettes K 4
Storm 3 Stompers 0
Hype 4. Storm 1
Stompers 14 Grapettes K 8
Storm 7 Magic 5
Hype 8 Lady Magic 1
Hype 1 Grapettes K 4

Storm 3-1 Hype 2-1 Lady Magic 1-2-1 Grapettes K 1-2-1 Stompers 1-2
A great and well put together friendly. These win/losses really don't validate anything. Coaches were putting runners on during innings and everybody pitched all their pitchers. All 5 teams showed class and were on the same note of seeing good competition and getting their bats.

You guys continue to prove my case time in and time out. You are so "girly-man" sensitive that you dont think this stuff through.

Linedrivelouie ranks Hype 1st and yet they didnt even get a berth to PGF...come on. And Magic gets a loser's bracket berth but yet they are ranked 5th? Proves my point that the third berth - should not happen. Also proves SoftballJunkie is connected with the Hype AND doesnt know what he is talking about.

Again, nothing personal, just the FACTS.

So I am trying to translate moron here but I am having a hard time. I get that you feel since CV Synergy and Magic got the PGF Berths they should now be ranked 1 and 2 because the team with the berths must be top 2 in Nor Cal. Funny since you hate Magic so much but it is nice to see you change your mind and put them in the top 2...

Not sure how any of things posted here prove I am a Hype parent or how my name even got thrown in the mix today. If you would like to find me at a game your gonna have to look down the list a little more. Unfortunately my daughters team has not yet been ranked in the top 5. Yet at the same time I don't think any of us parents really care where they are ranked.

Can you also explain to us what FACTS you speak of and how any of the hate you spread is not personal.

[Old Darter]

Pretty sure thats not what he/she is saying. He/she, the afore mentioned "moron", believes that as the only NorCal team to get a "winners" bracket bid, CV should be ranked 1st. On the other hand LM, having received a "losers" bracket bid should simply reject it, dissolve the team, and therefore have no ranking as they all burn in the fires of hell. In moron speak, of course.

SoftballJunkie/Linedrivelouie, Care to revise your rankings? Hype #1? Cynergy #12? Bombers #13? Come on Junkie, once again you know nothing of what say. The Bombers are a B team, at best. The Hype, as long as theyve been together, they should be doing much better. They have peaked already and disappointed many.

For all of you that think I'm a Magic hater, go back and check what I said in December. I said, and still say, they are the best team in Norcal. Now why is that Magic bashing? If anything I'm bashing myself because they have done nothing to show they are the #1 team.

I hate to break the news to you all but the Hype is nowhere near the #1 team as ranked by Linedrivelouie. They didnt even make the gold bracket this weekend. #1 in silver, wow! take a look at all the teams in the silver - all average teams and '01 teams. The week before they failed to even come close to a PGF berth. Not even a give-me third place berth.

The Teams that did well were Team California and looks like Kawahty is back on track.

Good times and Great Softball in Fresno. Also a good showing by our local Teams. Many Teams making the Gold Bracket and the HYPE winning the Silver Bracket, even though they will be the FIRST ONE's to tell you that wasn't the goal going in. As, based on his commments, Chango15 must not have been at the Tournament, a few things.

First, many of our local Teams played well in bracket play, and a few even did well despite being short handed (Nice Job STORM!!).

Second, with many good Teams we shouldn't be surprised if a Team loses a game in a Tournament. This happened to the HYPE (6-1-1 for the weekend) in losing to a Team that wanted that ONE GAME more than they did, a Team that played that game Lights Out, and deserved the victory (Congrats Team California!!). It was also a good learning experience for THE TWELVE/THIRTEEN YEAR OLD girls on the HYPE.

Third, the HYPE did tie the Team that won the Gold Bracket, the Breakers needed two in the last inning for the tie.

Fourth, Congrats to all N. California Teams for reprsenting well, to the girls for playing their hearts out, and to the Teams for good sportmanship and even better attitudes!!

Looking forward to the next Tourney!

It looked like a good weekend in Fresno. Too bad the Grapes weren't able to rep NorCal in the finals. Any surprises or let downs? Louie's top ranked did okay I think.

[JimineyCricket]

It looks like the only NorCal team to beat a SoCal team in Sunday's Gold bracket was the LTG Lions (def. Pressure, before losing to Grapettes K, 13-1) and the Rapids (def. Strike Force Elderts, before losing to Firecrackers, 2-1). May be a function of the brackets, or it may be an indication that NorCal 12u still has a ways to go before competing with the best of our Southern neighbors. I'm not saying that I'm not proud of our girls, just thinking we all have work to do to get better.

ADDENDUM: lovethisgame is absolutely right - saw a lot of terrific sportsmanship and positive attitudes from our NorCal players this week. That's one area where some of the SoCal teams in Fresno could learn a lesson or two...

[linedrivelouie]

After a great weekend of softball in Fresno I have added a few, shifted a few and removed a few. Congrats to Grapes K on a final 4... LTG on a final 8... CA Rapids, Team CA, Clovis Rockets, Lady Spartans and KG 01 on top 16 finishes.

1.Grapettes K: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday #2 seed. Made gold bracket and finished in the top 4 on Sunday. Strong staff all the way around. Hopefully they will be able to represent Nor Cal at PGF

2. Salinas Storm: Fresno Force 3 and 0 on Saturday #1 seed. Made gold bracket but got bumped by KG Hitters 01 in the first game Sunday. Obviously not the weekend they had planned. #1 pitcher is very strong great defense to support and normally a pretty strong line up.

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

4. KG Hitters: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday # 2 seed. Made gold lost game 1 to No Doubt who was #1 seed. Always fun watching the KG coach get fired up Got tossed game during the game but had nothing to do with the loss. Strong hitting line up. Probably one of the best mid infields in 12u with 7 and 8 on the dirt.

5. Clovis Rocket Millar: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday #2 seed. Made gold beat Magic game one lost to Grapes K in game 2. Overall good weekend I know being on home turf Bob would have like to have gone another game or 2. Strong #1 pitcher pretty solid through the line up.

6. Lady Magic: Fresno Force 3 and 0 on Saturday #1 seed. Made gold, lost a close first game on Sunday to Clovis Rockets Millar. What I think on paper is probably the strongest line up in 12u. Learning to play together and trust each other

7. Foothill Gold: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday #2 seed. Made gold, lost to Grapes K 5 – 7 in game 1 on Sunday. Pitching is pretty good. A few real strong bats in the line up. Strong 01 pitcher

8. CA Rapids: Fresno Force 2 and 1 Saturday #1 seed. Made gold, got past Strikeforce game 1 and lost to Firecrackers in game 2. Pretty good line up. I have said before if they can get their other pitchers working this team could go farther in tourneys. To hard to ride one all day.

9. Team CA: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday #2 seed. Made gold, beat North West Lady Sharks from Washington game one, lost a close game to San Diego Thunder who made it to the final 4 in game 2. This team is making strides every week. 2 solid pitchers and the line up looks pretty strong.

10. NC Valley Stompers: Didn’t make the trip to Fresno. Slipped them down a few since I haven’t seen them since the qualifier.

11. LTG Lions: Fresno Force 3 and 0 on Satuday #1 seed. Made gold, Beat won first 2 games Sunday. Lost to Grapes K in game 3 who made it to the final 4. Great weekend for this 01 team. Best 01 team out there. Pitching will struggle through the year because they are young but strong defensively and a pretty solid 01 line up.

12.Grapettes E: Fresno Force 2 and 1 on Saturday. Made gold, lost game 1 to Lady Spartans in ITB after Spartan had a huge come back. This team has played well in friendlies but struggled in the stronger tournaments. A little hot and cold so far. Typical of a new team though.

13. CV Synergy: Didn’t make the trip to Fresno.

14. Lady Spartans 2 and 1 on Saturday. Made gold out of a 3 way Saturday tie. Beat Grapettes E in a crazy game 1 on Sunday. Came back from way down to pull out a win. They were a strong 01 team in 10’s who went to Nationals. Honestly haven’t seen them play much. I was able to watch a little bit of their come back against Grapes on Sunday. I think they figured out if you can put the ball in play good things will happen.

[Fly Out]

So let me see here Line Drive is a Hype parent however he/she was at the field watching Grapes E and Spartans at 8am while his/her daughter was across town playing for the Hype??? Yep Chango looks like your wrong again!!!
