WWBA

I got lucky, haven't even left for Georgia yet, less time for me in the sports bar... Son got there yday, hanging with teammates in the hotel....

It not only seems all the rain in the US is focused over GA....it's pretty much true!

+1....son's start today rained out, will journey that way tomorrow!

Son was lucky to get his game in at LP today ..... best of luck to all playing this year.  This is my 7th  WWBA always a blast.

My first, and son has been rained out 1 and tomorrow  TBD.

Brutal when the weather doesn't allow the coaches to see our son's!

Howd your kid do??

Sons games were rained out today and tomorrow's game already pushed back from original time as we aren't at Lakepointe for any of these... Don't really mind, because I don't care to watch games in the pouring rain and I'm sure my PO son doesn't care to pitch in it either! 

Gov, he did fine 9 up 9 down in 3 innings.......94. Thankful we won 2-1. Hoping to go back wednesday.... let me know how  it goes for your son and his team.

Son went up to watch a couple of players he is recruiting.  I hope he got to watch those pitchers.

FWIW, this is that time of the year where all those clouds hang over GA and FL. 

Hang in there everyone!

Sweet!  Vandy feeling happy...your son has developed strongly!   My son threw 90 from IF, put a good word in w coaches. 

game for today was removed from the schedule...extremely disappointing if they don't play today...this is our first and last WWBA (son is 2018), so not getting off to a good start

Hang in there , its a long week, PG does all they can to make this a great event....

Remember rain or no rain, you are spending quality time with your son, someday soon he'll be on his own.

understand, but it just strikes me as odd that if a field is delayed, then the games that were supposed to occur during the delay are the ones canceled.  I would think that all original playing times should be scheduled in order to accommodate weather events like these.  that way there could be wiggle room in the schedule to fit the delayed games in either at the end of the day or in another field.  We just got notified that the game has been cancelled...bummer.

Son said its high 70s and overcast, lovin the weather.  Much better than 95 and sunny.

PG will try very hard to get the games in.  They only have so many turf fields.  I'm sure they are contacting every high school within 100 miles to see if anyone has a playable field.  They will find them, it just takes a bit.

My kids HS was tapped last week for the rainy 14u WWBA, they weren't on the schedule, so I know PG does everything they can.

I'm hopeful something does occur...

300 plus teams...next game isnt scheduled until tomorrow at 430. Would be nice if the get a game in today.  

Ahhhh.....the weather.  The summer was 2013 and son's last at 17U WWBA at East Cobb.  Rain, rain, and more rain.  Only 4 games played, 2 were consolation games, and NONE were at the East Cobb complex.   I believe there was one more consolation game scheduled in the middle of nowhere so the coach decided to just leave.  They said all the rain delays/rainouts would not happen with the new fields at Lake Point.

It was not the high point of the summer as in the prior two years.  

2nd game in as many days canceled.    Some teams have already played 3 .  Ah geez...
