I'm at the PBR Fall Championships at Grand Park in Indiananapolis this weekend.  Not only are some of the best 18U & 17U teams in the Midwest here, but there is also a Junior College event going on at the same time, with 20 different JUCO's playing, so there are about 75 college & pro scouts here.

Random stuff I've overheard scouts saying this weekend (not about my kid, just random stuff in general)

"I like him. I'd love him if he was at least 6 feet tall."

"I watched them in BP. The one guy is loose & wiry. The other guy is big & hairy."

"The only times he throws 90 is when it is 2 feet out of the zone."

"That catcher is all eyewash."

"Every kid I like here is already commited. We can't catch a break."

"He's at 88. If he can get to 90 we'll offer him."

"My HC only wants 6.6 guys. He doesn't care if they can hit. I think he's nuts. I gotta find a new job."

"These freakin travel coaches text me every 5 minutes. I'm gonna go watch the JUCO guys."

"Everybody thinks they can turn a guy into a dude. I'm just lookin for dudes."

"I saw this kid, I liked him, but his coach never gave me a roster, so I have no idea who he is.  Now the tournaments damn near over and I have to go look him up."

A couple of the funniest I ever heard. 

I understand what everybody is excited about.  He throws 95/96 but he has no clue where homeplate is much less the strike zone.  Our pitching coach isn't good enough to teach him how to throw strikes.

If only I was picking players for my little league team I would be set, there are a lot of hot moms here that their kids are horrible.  Good for Little League not for college.  They don't bring them to practice.

This kid we were recruiting called me this morning at 2:15 AM.  He was drunker than a skunk.  I sent him a text and said wrong person to drunk dial.  I reckon he thought I was his girlfriend.  Done with him.
