HEY

Dont go putting my favorite pitcher on the open market !!!

Considering the supposed 'Elite Talent' in Joplin racked up 63 combined errors in 16 games, the monkey may help.

Some sharp defense, huh?

BOBO

you still have not responded----what is your background to be so critical ?

Substantiate your position for all of us, not just me

Am I being critical or just observant?

It takes no pedigree or crystal ball to see that 63 errors in 16 games is a clear sign that the players are lacking in defensive skills.

It seems that you try to evade the issue with this call for credentials. Try sticking to the subject and for a change making knowledgeable comment.

Or are 63 errors in 16 games acceptable defense in your program?

Errors are never acceptable

But get off that old pony you are riding, you are not qualified to be on a stallion, and get real--- give us some background on you so we know why you are the ACE CRITIC------

I stick to the subject--it is you who wavers and wanders--- and what is scary you post at weird times---think about that

There you go dancing around again.

I speak of poor defense and though you agree, you divert the topic to credentials.

Now you further divert the issue to my sleeping habits. As you get older, you'll come to understand that you sleep less. Might be because soon enough the sleep is forever.

Look at it this way, since I notice such things as numerous errors imply poor defensive skills and you don't, I may well have more qualification to comment than you do.

No - would definitely help.

Look at the 4th picture on this link. Do you notice the intensity on this monkey's face?

http://www.monkeymatters.com/trellix/rally_monkey.htm

Some background on that picture:

The ESPN announcer was just beginning to denounce our National team on live TV - the monkey became upset - and all hell broke loose on the set right after the snapshot was taken.

Tough little monkey - and a welcome addition to any team. IMO.

Which National team?

The one depleted by the foreign talent playing for their home nations?

Or one of the others that are assembled from a small sample and not practiced enough?

Whichever, if the monkey makes less errors, play him.

Mr. BoBo,

The monkey isnt perfect - he does make an occasional error. Please dont put too much pressure on the little fella.

BOBO

Since I now have the lowdown regarding your atttitude I may as well let everyone know that you are what I suspected---A disgruntled parent who has a kid/players who did not make the team you felt they should--- another parent with an axe to grind---who would have guessed!!!!

TR,

Dont be too harsh on Mr. Bobo.

I am still upset as well. After the ESPN incident - the monkey has not been invited back for any interviews. He has been black-balled from most media outlets.

I guess he bit the announcer a little too hard.

Again your assumption is 100% wrong.

At least you are consistent in your mistaken assumptions.

When my kids were old enough for these teams, I had no idea that they existed.

Keep trying though, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

I would be more embarassed if my boys were on a team that made as many errors.

Mr. Bobo,

You would? Thats a shame you feel that way. How sad.

That many errors is unacceptable...just like the USA team's performance this spring.

Willie BOBO is right.

Error's are part of the Game, You can't alway's be perfect.
If your out of shape baseball wise, your going to make mistakes. Are have just started playing together It take's a few Game's to get to Know your Teamates.
What's Fun is watching the Boy's get better as the Summer Season get's Started, And really start playing as a Team.
As the Season Progresses.
That's When you See Individual Player's That step up and Shine and that's what fun to Watch.

It's hard to picture not fielding a grounder as being affected by a lack of playing together as a team.

After seeing the video of some of these players on web TV, they are always like this.

Make that 70 errors in 17 games and counting.

At this rate we may have to request Castro exile a few ball players for the USA team. Maybe import a few Dominicans as well.

The Jamaican bob sled team is volunteering as the USA bob sled team.

BOBO;
I'm talking about Baseball in General,
You know the sport, Where anything can happen.

Normally I would agree that errors happen. But this many in this few games is extraordinary for even a mediocre team.

This is supposed to be the Primo Elite of the age group.

Take a look at some of the players in their prospect videos. They seem to have a hard time taking grounders and making throws in practice as well.

WillieBoBo,

IMO - That is a pretty *****y thing to do. On this site - it is a no-no to denigrate youth players.

I hope you get zapped from the site.

I think all the Video Show's is the Make-up of the Player's Body Type, Technic, Power, Arm strength.
Game's give them a Better Idea of what a Player can Do.
Sometime's Player's have bad Games.
It's the Old addage, Get Back on the Horse.

I didn't make the videos.

I personally didn't think they were complementary of the players. But that is how they are being marketed.

Web TV would be at fault if anyone.

Like I said - I hope you get gonged.

Soon.

With this many errors, they must be bronco busting.

At fault for what. they just film it, edit it,And put into a format for people/recruitor's/Scout's to look at.

Its seems to feel that the videos denigrate the players

EH,

A couple of his players didnt make the team.

So he is pissed - and now pissing on a bunch of kids that arent here to defend themselves.

Get Chuck Barris out here - and gong him.

LOL

Speak for yourself BoBo.

I feel you are denigrating them - not the videos.

You need to go.
IMO.

Well there's nothing you can do about it.
Who care's Really.
It's like argueing with an Ump. No Win Situation.

What players of mine didn't make the team?

You seem to be under a misaprehension or enjoy concocting false tales.

I neither manage a team nor represent players.

If you have a gripe or are making excuses for poor play, get yourself a violin.

EH - True.

Enjoy watching the rest of the games BoBo.

LOL

Baseball Web TV

The players you are referring to are among the elite in the nation. Aflac All Americans, First Round Draft Prospects, and yes some could be on Team USA. Furthermore, every scout and college recruiter in America knows it. Why don't you????

If you can not see the OBVIOUS rare ability in these kids by watching these videos, I'm not sure we have much further to discuss. They are among the very best in what looks like an exceptional 07 class.

You really sound foolish by trying to complain about these kids.

Listen Willie, I too know who you are. AD Why take out your jealousy on the true top prospects in this country?

Yeah, if you say so.

Looks like a bad try out to me.

Willie,

Any try out that had these kids show up would be one of the best ever.

BOBO

Isnt it true your son did not make the cuts on the team?

Looks like a few of them missed that one.

If these are the best we have we are in a bad way.

I'd choose the kids that beat them.

I just disagree. I see what I see and you see what you see.

Of the ones I have seen on the field, two are decent.

As I have stated time and again, I expect more as a National Team.

My boys are much older than these kids.

I didn't even know these teams existed when they were in their teens.
