Sorry for the typo. I meant the celebration would have been much MORE subdued. |

Hey Smoke you left out that your son played well for an ECB team.....good clutch hitting and fine pitching. I couldn't agree more that the n/s jawing is just good clean fun while we wait on the "real" baseball season to arrive.

point taken aa17dad & whit417, and i agree, sometimes we just get caught up in what someone else says about us and feel the need to respond. no disrespect was intended towards any of those teams we played in auburn, just felt the need to respond to negative comments posted after our first game. we know those comments are intended to get a response from us. thats the fun part of a forum.
btw....one side note on ecb, the n/s rivalry thing is fun, my son even played with one of the better ecb teams up there this fall and we had a blast, enjoyed the kids & the parents & coaches, & we were treated with the utmost respect...so its all good.
hey, lottapop, guess what its time for?

Smoke, make no mistake about it...I enjoy the fun chatter...you HomePlaters have kept this 13U age group alive on the forum. Last years 12U was pretty much dead. I was just responding to those that were having a hard time with the criticism. Keep playing well and have fun. |

| Pride goes 2-2 in AA, AAA tournament in Stockbridge this past weekend. Seems Pride could not get past MGBA Braves which proved to be their 2 losses. What happened to Pride since the rained out Triple Crown? Congrats to MGBA Braves!! |

Congrats to the MGBA Braves on their win and props to the Pride on a hard fought 2nd place finish. |

The Pride have lost a number of games. But, in all fairness, their losses were 4-3 and 2-1. These are the kind of games that could have easily gone either way.

That MGBA team is no AA/AAA team! That team consists of former Jaguars and Icons, who have had loads of Major baseball experience. The Pride beat the Gwinnett Titans and the North Clayton Giants convincingly (avenging an earlier loss to the Gwinnett Titans, who too had Major Players on their roster). It appears that I'm not the only novice here. Baseball is a game of odds. There were only 3 hits given up to the MGBA Braves in that first loss (4-3), which happened to be a 2 run scoring double and 2 home runs (one hit by the same kid that hit the double). That's just the way the game goes. Both of those teams will be competitive at the Major level in the Spring. I have seen some really good teams this Fall: HP, Collins Hill, Stixx, ECB Titans, MGBA Braves, ECB Pride, etc. Everyone knows you can be beaten by anyone at any given time; however, I expect to see good things from each of the teams listed here in the Spring. |

I think this was brought up in a past post but losing to a AAA team does not effect USSSA rankings or power ratings. It also does not help a AAA team with their rankings. It will just hurt peoples ego. The MGBA team is very solid ball squad.
I would have to agree with baseballnovice that any team can lose on any given day. should make for a great spring.
Has anyone thought about this years Slugfest?
After the horrible umpiring last year is anybody going back? It was for a good cause but the way the brackets were broken down and bad calls, you have to think twice before committing. I guess that would fall into spring tournaments TOPIC.

As for Seminole Tony's and baseball novices comments about MGBA Braves. I watched them play one game against an obvious AA team its they looked very good. Clearly have some great coaching, solid players behind them who can hit AA pitching. Did not see either game against the Pride so can't comment on these games except to say these tournaments are hard to read. Both those Pride games were low scoring affairs which demonstrates good pitching usually trumps good hitting.
My take on these tourneys with a mix of AA, AAA, MAJOR tourneys is that you can't read to much into the results. They are just good opportunities to keep boys playing baseball in the fall, good opportunities to try out new players, good opportunities to build a team for spring for teams that choose to go that route to evaluate players instead of just holding tryouts...
The key piece is pitching. Can't read to much into MGBA Braves because this tourney they played two games to get to Championship game, one against a team just about anyone on their team could have pitched and won.
What I am seeing is that if your team is a major or a high AAA team with strong pitching, these are "trap tourneys" Other AAA or AA teams can get to the championship game without much pitching, able to not pitch their stud. Then in the championship game they pitch the one, manybe two kids who are lights out pitchers and can shut down a high AAA or Major team and make everybody think they are good and the Major team is weak. We all know (well at least most of us...) that really good pitcher can knock you out of an elim bracket, even if you are the "better" team.
In a major tourney, teams like this with one stud aren't making it to the Championship game, and if they do, they won't have their stud left.
So in the spring, it will be back to normal. Major teams with 6-8 Major level pitchers will always rise to the top of major tourneys. Major teams that enter a tourney with lots of AA/AAA teams will always run the risk that their pitching advantage is neutralized by a weak tourney field where a AA or AAA team can sandbag their stud and coast to the championship game with him on the mound. |

Very nice LeftyBat. Good insight. It is what everyone knows but nobody has written.
