Yep frustration setting in. Great topic title. Read it all. This is what I learned:
We paid greatly......to be seen....where recruiters were paid to see us.......where winning a game was never the goal in a 'team' format......in a tournament of team members competing to win some Non scoreboard related measurables as an individual..........cause that's what the recruiters for a college baseball team want to see.........and it takes exactly 7 games and a weeks time to accomplish this........and it all must be repeated next week, month, or up coming 'big' event trip.......all of course after we get back home an take another $1000ish+ dollars of lessons or find the next biggest and best-est promoted 'team' to pay (errr join) up with.
Got it!!!
1.) The whole system is devoid from the real game of baseball. Very few of you actually love baseball.
2.) This industry is either bleeding you dry while dangling dreams, or you really don't care what the cost is as its not relevant to what you are buying.
3.) College baseball and its recruiters are increasingly complicit in the industry scam.
