Baller,
deal is you're probably correct, except the high school team slam. No high school teams in the select division. We're only playing 12 games in league. Which really means three tourney's ( Dave likes to call them showcase, but that's because that's the new buzz-word in Connie Mack age kids. At least I've talked Chris ( Cover All Bases ) into playing tourney's instead of the old Arlington Sundowner ( which is no longer ) Maybe next year he'll agree to BBI, but he makes his money on his younger teams. We're not ready to play the big boys ( Tigers, Stars, Knights ) but we play both Blackhawk teams, Wizard 18u, & a new group out of Arlington called the Colt 45's on Weds. nights, just for games. Then we play at TCU, Navarro, UTA twice, & Burkburnett. Bottonline we play some good programs, much improved schedule over last year.

Two of Ingrams best players, one of which is a pretty good 15 year old pitcher are still in the playoffs.
Well, we won't have a couple of our kids due to playoffs also. So, it should be a good game.
And I don't know how you can say they are some of their "best" players. At this level, in my opinion, all of the players contribute that are on the lineup card.
If not, the coach didn't do a good job recruiting.
Well, we beat the Tigers tonight in a 9-8 game.
You can tell it's early, quite a few errors from kids you wouldn't expect it from.
But, they are a great team. Good solid pitching, seems everyone in their lineup can hit the ball hard and a good solid defence.
I know the kids wouldn't want to have to face them every day.

Keller Dad,
That "W" goes into the quality win category. Congrats to the Heat. 16U BBI is gonna be tough. Many good teams. I may have to rethink my predictions. For now, I think I'll stay with what I have.

watch out for the Stallions. Early 3-0, this is always a tough team every year. I'd look for them or the Bulls 16 to get the 6th spot.
Bob,
I don't know what you see in the Bulls???? Me thinks they will be lucky to win 6 games all year!!! Good Luck

DBat 15's handed it to us today.
Well, we had so many errors, I lost track, but they are a good team.
After watching a complete mental breakdown on our part, it is hard to tell if they are any better than they were last year. They gave up a bunch of runs as well.
But, that's baseball. On to next week.

DBAT 15's were also missing two of their top pitchers this entire week.
Everybody's without somebody during these early weeks of summer ball. By the way, BBI has posted the 18U schedule on their website.
Anyone know why the Dallas Tigers 16 forfeited to the Texas Wizards in BBI recently?

And the Boston Red Sox are missing their entire infield.
We were also missing two guys that night.
That's baseball.
Still, we handed you guys the game, plain and simple.
Who are Bishop and Kluber playing for this summer?
Bookworm,
You're right, I should have stipulated "no particular order" I will edit. The Tigers 18's are hurting for front line pitching there's no doubt. But their offense is solid. They will finish in top six.

Baller,
Again, I say you are pretty close in your divination.
Knights will pull off the double this season.
Knights 16 - will win BBI 16u or a qualifier. Dbat 16 will win the other.
Knights White - will win BBI 18u or a qualifier or both.

Most of the 18 yr. old Tigers are still involved in post season play. They will be just fine. And they've got some SERIOUS pitching. You can count on that!
Baller,
Rocksy is probably referring to Gallardo, Mcguirk, and Ashwood. The guys that helped them to a 2nd place finish at Jupiter. Maybe he doesn't know those guys aren't really Tigers, they're FW Hawks.
The Knights and Tigers will finish 1-2 in league. IMO

When you have a lineup like the Dallas Tigers, all you need is a pitcher to throw strikes and get outs. They will produce runs.
Skittle,
Pitching and defense win titles not offense. Just check the Texas Rangers world series appearances over the last decade. According to the Knights website: in 2003 the Tigers gave up 27 runs in three games using 3 quality arms, while only producing a mere 10 runs in three games. From all observations, the Knights pitching is comperable and deeper than 2003, while the Tigers pitching has regressed as a whole. Has the Tigers offense improved that much??????
