| Bball2k10, regarding titans, which ace? There were 3 pitchers on the mound for titans, and one of those 3 pitchers tried to re-enter the game a second time, but was barred by the rules. Ten runs is a lot to give up if an ace mowed them (Pride) down. I doubt Pride K'ed 2-3 times the entire game. Titans did not win so much as Pride gave it away with errors! Pride posted over 70 runs in 5 games! It is true that the best team does not always win on any given day... |

Any reports from people who were there?
Shoot-out format....in P'Tree City
1 Major team.
I'd say a combo of both weak competition and good pitching.

There is one young man on the Pride that I think will score 4 runs a game against most of the teams it the state. He is the real deal.
Scoring 4 runs against any team will be tough since it's not very often a player gets 4 AB's in a game at this age group. |

Yes, there were plenty of offensive powerhouse teams in Cumming this past weekend. Congrats to the Pride on their 2nd place finish.

Those teams the Chili Dogs beat are not necessarily known for being offensive powerhouses... We will see about the pitching when they play some major teams, or even some strong AAA teams.

It's funny how it has become easier for forum members to bad mouth or add negative responses concerning tournaments then just give the "Better Team on that day" their props. I look forward to try and read objective looks(If that is possible)every time I log on. BUT...That's what makes this fun.
Leftybat...Ga. Academy Dawgs were a very strong AAA team last year. I don't how they adjusted to playin on big fields. Chili dogs are for real... Better team won that day.
dogatbat...Pride may be a good team but despite scoring 70 runs, they came up 7 runs short when it counted plus they gave up 16 in finals. We all know it's tough to play with only one "STUD" player... Better team won that day.
ItsjustLLBball... You're on the wrong forum. Go watch your football. It may be fall ball and a learning time but every time my son steps between the chalk he's told to play his best and play hard! Runners up are "FIRST LOSERS".
I'm still waiting for the ECB comments to start rolling in. These teams still haven't matched up against the rest of the teams out there. Should make for more interesting reading. Tournament 24-26 in Marrietta. A couple of the stronger teams are signed up. Also some ball being played elsewhere that will add some new twist to the plot. |

To be fair, prior to final game, Pride gave up 18 runs for whole tourney, before giving up 16 in one game to a AAA team. Look at the score book and you will see the Pride clearly struck out more than 2-3 times. Titans did try and re-enter starting pitcher who never left the game. Which is legal, for every player except the pitcher, which they simply did not know. As for the Pride giving the game away due to errors, please remember at least four of the ten runs that the Pride scored were also unearned. (likely more like 6...) If your referring to the errors made deep in the whole or in left field by the Pride's shortstop, those were tough plays. You could call those errors if you want, but they were tough plays.
Also remember this was a four hour 7 inning game. Doubt that there will be many major teams that hold the Pride to 10 runs, earned or unearned in 7 at bats. Their 3 and 4 hitters are going to score or knock in 6 runs a game. And their line up is loaded with good hitters and great athletes. The Pride are a great team. They did not quit, even when they went down 9-2 in the second inning. Lots of chances to run rule them and they just kept coming back in the bottem half of the inning to get to the next inning. No quit in that team.
Lastly, the Titans "ace" did not pitch in that game.

| I watched that playoff game in cumming this weekend. Congrats to the Titans for the win. Like Dogatbat mentioned,the Pride did give it away with errors. That young man Leftybat mention(prides #4 hitter with no # on jersey) does seem like the real deal. I was told (by one of the parents)he was reponsible for over 30 of the 70 runs scored that weekend.(WOW) Got to have defence to back it up though. Lets see what happens this spring. |

It's amazing how everyone can tell who are the "powerhouse" teams and who are not after one fall tournament weekend. Very few teams have the same roster as the previous year. A tournament with 3 AA teams, 3 AAA teams, and 1 newly formed Major team in their first tournament is not exactly stacked either. |

To dogatbat, Tells us a little about that Titans/Pride game. This has me intrigued, what about the pitcher trying to re-enter? Titan ace? Pride "Stud"? High scoring game.
Was everyone out of pitchers or were both teams just hitting the ball? Maybe we can add a video link to the parents who tape some of the games. I'd love to be able to watch game films of the other teams. |

I did not say they were not powerhouse teams, said they were not known for being powerhouse teams. Point I was trying to make is that a poster alluded to exceptionally strong pitching being the reason for low scoring games. We shall see. People are putting up the Chili Dogs as a powerhouse major team in the making. May be...
But I am looking forward to watching them play a team like the Pride. I can only have respect for what I have seen. (other than the basic on field respect you give your opponent) I have not seen the Chili Dogs play, nor seen any of the teams they beat play. I have seen the Pride play, and trust me, I have a tremendous amount of respect for that team. They are going to do well at a MAJOR level. Perhaps the Chili Dogs will too. We shall know once they play the games.... |

| for the record, no one from the chilidog family is "putting up the chilidogs as a powerhouse", other posters outside the chilidog family are doing that & claiming to be us. with that being said, trust me, the chilidogs will be very competitive with all other major teams but by no means are we claiming to be the top dog. we know the talent that is out there at the major level and we recognize the astros as the top dog until proven otherwise. we havent done anything yet and we know it. |

I've been like the FBI listening in on conversations and being undercover has drawn me to the dark side LOL!!!
It's possible to get a feel on how a team might perform during Spring ball when the roster has been firmed during Fall ball;however that doesn't necessarily determine if they will be a top competitor against Major rosters. The Copperheads(AA)placed 3rd winning out over 2(AAA)teams. I know nothing about the 13U Elite Dodgers(AAA)but despite their record in this weekends tournament appears to have some good players on the squad,so never count out any team at either level for it could become a suprise to some majors...ooooops did I offend anyone? 
Let's be mindful that there may be some young players peeping over dads shoulders reading the posts so we do not want to say anything harshly negative that will discredit any player or teams. Oh!!! I love College Ftball |

| I am told of conversations that are hilarious that I need to see for myself so I log on to get my laugh and then of course can't leave without adding my own two cents...and as far as the ec talk, rumor has it that there is a gag order on all involved about that team with it's 21 man roster being cut down to 15, what do you do with 6 kids being cut in an off season when everyone solidifies their 13u roster by June the previous year...hahaha.....Wonder what happened to the "two team" idea???? Oh well, I guess we will just see how it all plays out....NEXT BASEBALL SEASON.... |

I put a few comments in the spin cycle while doing laundry...folded the clothes and put everything in it's proper place. This is how the comments came out:
Like Dogabat mentioned the Gwinnett Titans took the game putting the ball in play and capitalizing on opportunities.
The best team on any given day is the team who has more runs on the scoreboard when the umpire crosses his arms above his head and yells "Ball Game!!!". That team is always considered the better team also known as WINNER!
If a team takes a 9-2 lead after 2, I'd say they TOOK the game, not given to them. I'm sure Pride players didn't want them to score and gave tremendous effort to prevent all 16 runs that touched home. Sounds like the Pride were on the ropes from the start and were fighting to avoid a run rule entire game.
Yes, there were a plenty of offensive powerhouses in Cumming this weekend. Congrats to Nitro Baseball on a 5th place finish.
Homeplate supporters seem to really be excited about the potential in their clubs,despite not playing an entire game, as they should. Should they be doubting their boys?

| Like I said in another posting running up the score against AA teams proves nothing more than giving up 16 runs (which incidentally equals the number of kids on the Pride roster) to a AAA team in the championship game. Let’s take a wait and see approach as the various programs come together and in the interim hold off anointing the next big powerhouse. |

| Forget AA, AAA, Major; I watched the scrappy Covington Catch add 2 former MAJOR players and win a tournament against a solid Collins Hill team without practicing together. Kudos to some awesome ball players. |

| Wow things are a bit spicey on the 13u board. I caught the end of the 4 hour mega match in Cumming.There will not be any gold gloves awarded for this one, but this is 13u BB not the majors. Congrats to all who played and especially the Titans and Pride. I spoke with a couple parents on the Titans side and in between their exhaustion I gathered that at least 4 of their best players will not be spring Titans.Several of them live quite a distance from the area. I think it best to wait until next year to decide what teams are contenders. My money is on the Roadrunners, ECB Astros, Braves, Sharon Springs, Icons and what ever team the majority of the Southern Jags end up on. |

My son and I watched from the sideline on Sunday in PTC and witnessed the best coached game I've ever seen. Hopefully, HP will have a spot open up before Spring for my son. No matter the win loss....this coach can flat out get it done!!!!!!! I spoke to a few of the parents and they said there is still 3 players from the Astros and other ECB teams who should be there sometime this week.
They have a short stop that is probably the best I've ever seen in the 13u age group. |

| Heard the East Cobb Titans had a good tournament this past weekend over in Cumming. I believe this is the first time for them to play games so it was good to see what they will be bringing. Looks like some good improvements. |
