League cancellations

I'd heard through the grapevine that you were having this problem with cancellations. You never know quite who to believe when this problem crops up, so I decided to gas up my ultralight and have a look see myself.

I guess I snapped this picture while your team was snorkeling around in the dug out. I have to ask...is the backstroke included in your warm-ups?

Seriously...that is a huge problem for your team. I would imagine that the best course of action would be to flat out ask these other coaches what the problem is. If you get honest responses then you can take all of what you have learned into consideration and plan accordingly. Your team deserves to have willing opponents.

If your team is very, very good then some coaches from lesser skilled teams may duck out from playing your team. You may already be doing this, but try to match up with teams that are similar to yours or even a bit better. It would seem that everyone's motivation at that point would be to play the game...with a lot of enthusiasm and anticipation.

Let us know how this plays out.

Coach...Happened to us a few times a few years ago.

The coach never got another game with us.

THAT IS GREAT!

What bothers me the most is we're supposed to be in travel baseball which should be more serious than in house. Then we're in the Elite division which should be even more serious. Then we get these yahoos who only want to play teams they can beat.

Great, have a final record of 32-9 and tell everyone how great you are.

papi, what teams and what age group?

You know bagger, it's tempting, but I shouldn't get into that.

I just feel a little better venting on these goofy teams, even if it's anonymously.

Now, I wonder what kind of picture gotwood can come up with now?

biggerpapi, That's a league problem, I have talked to other managers in your league and it has been going on all season long. I would contact your league director and ask for some of that forfeit money each team puts up at the start of the season.

I thought we might see your team at the Super NIT last weekend at the Lumber Yard, Are you in the Sparks tournament?

We don't go to Lynwood at all this year. We played USSSA Early Bird in Rock Island, Kledzik in Plainfield and we go to Omaha next week.

Playing games then watching CWS games is a blast.

We also played the Pony Express in Indianapolis. That was a nice tournament with a ton of good teams.

There appears to be a lot of good baseball in IN.

But what's with the southern accents? I didn't think we were that far south. I mean, I didn't even see any Waffle Houses!

Good luck in Omaha. I would like to see our 2 teams hook up, we might have some open dates in July.

CSG you have a PM

You need a pair of these to spot the WAFFLE HOUSE...it's a standout place for sure, but you'll still need these...
