What to watch for in the SWOL 16U This summer

[Crazylegzreebox]

Teams, players, ect.

[baseballin4Life]

Like what was metioned earlier the Cincinnati Tribe is absoultely stacked this year

[all_about_hustle]

Wasn't this team in the American Div last year and towards the middle of the pack? Where did these players come from or were they on that team last year?

[baseballin4Life]

Wasn't this team in the American Div last year and towards the middle of the pack? Where did these players come from or were they on that team last year?

it's the same players just most of the players on this team are on varsity at there respected schools and making plays on varsity. one of there issues last season was thinkin that they will beat the crap outta everyone and then sometimes it wouldn't happen. I got a friend on the team and that's what he said at least

[all_about_hustle]

Ok, it will be a big difference as National level vs American level of play, but maybe thier school play will be some help to them. I would be surprised if they are in the middle of the pack at that age level. I heard their a lot of good teams in there playing is some very tough conferences, but time will tell as you still got to show up and play. Just never no though.

[Crazylegzreebox]

i believe they have picked up some new kids too though that were not on the team last year. we will see how the transition up to national is this year.

Middie Pride = legit

They might be "legit" but they won't be near as good as in the past, due to losing both of their stud players.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

We lost Austin Downing and Kyle Scwarber to the Cincy Flames. They are great players but were replaced with a lot of talent. Who else but the Tribe will be a force this year?

Kinect is average to below average. They lost Barklow and Dotson. They really have nothing else.

[viking08]

The Dirtbags are the team to watch in 16u. Classics 16u, Middie Pride are a step below them. Kinect are another step below. Kinect has very poor coaching.

No one said that they would not be successful. I'm sure they will be a good team. But losing your best two players will have an impact, not just on the field but could have an impact in the dugout as well (team chemistry).

Of course, after your last sarcastic comment, I don't expect you to understand this post either. :shrug:

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

It wasnt that sarcastic i was messsin with him. It is almost an entirely new roster so everyone will have to play their part in acheiving team chemistry.

[LivingOnTheBlack]

when someone says "not near as good", it implies some negative connotations. and of course it's going to have an impact.

Yes formerly the Dayton Hustle.

there was question if cincinnati tribe are good, there first game is against kinect so will see what there made of. they had practice at little miami today, i was watching my daughters softball game and they looked real real solid

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

the Kinect-Pride game is off.

[HWCUSA]

That's what I meant. There will be a negative impact. I doubt that the Middie Pride replaced those two players with players of the same caliber. They will not be as good period. If you believe this not to be true, then name the players who replaced them that you think are as good.

[Crazylegzreebox]

the 2 are Thomas Meier and Kevin Clark.

[baseballin4Life]

Meier is a solid player, i don't know about kevin clark though

I agree Meier is a good player and Clark is about an average pitcher, but no way neither are as good as the two that left.

Not much there, isn't that an American div team? If so, more like a scrimage if you r sayn there talent level is above avg. My friend playing in a wooden bat in Blus Ash, he said it was loaded with some top Nat level teams?

Who does this one have in it that looks tough?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

wont know til we get there

[viking08]

They also lost Chris Kuzma and some other Centerville players (there was more to that team than Miamisburg Vikings).

Yes you are correct! Kuzma is a great outfielder, hitter, with blazing speed. We were discussing Pride and Kinect is why he never came up. The Raiders will be a much better team with him. It's too bad the Raiders are in the American Division of SWOL. They will not be tested there. They are gonna be bored.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

It was somewhere around 16+ to 0. The Cincy coach called it after the 3rd inning. We played errorless baseball, pitchers gave 1 walk.
I have a question though, today tournament ppl will decide who receives a by based on record, then runs allowed, then runs scored. Let's say there are 2 teams that are 2-0 and we've both only allowed 2 runs. So they end up looking at runs scored. We ended our game early, and possibly the other team will get the by (because of more runs scored). Should we have continued to play and rack up runs? sounds like murder, i know..
p.s. if there is a tie on all 3 things, what is the next determining factor?

[gclsports77]

cincinnati hurricanes won for the 16u i think

Most tourneys only allow a max of 8 runs to count, so like a 20-1 win would be a +8. If all deciding factors still equal a tie they just do a coin flip. lol

[gclsports77]

they won what?

the tournament in blue ash i think

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

what does blue ash get you, a world series bid?

[OHheat]

Im with the 17u Ohio Heat and the 16u is pretty good from what i hear.

I haven't been able to see them play but their catcher is a good friend of mine and hes always saying how much talent they have and i know all the players on their team. they will be a very tough team, and they stroke and have a good set of arms on the team. (we play them this weekend, so ill be able to see if hes just hypin or if they are legit)

[BigCoach]

Kentucky Titans, Columbus Cobras, and Dayton Dirtbags to name a few.
The Cincinnati Hurricanes won that Blue Ash tournament with the Kings Reds coming in second place. Those three teams didn't look all that great. The Kings Reds were definitely a surprise team, I haven't heard anything about them at all. I was watching my son's game so I didn't see much of that game. But their lefty had a no-hitter through five against the Crusaders. And more impressively their closer could throw some heat, he got two saves in that tournament. From what I know its mostly Kings and Fenwick kids.

Was able to see some of the games while watching the young one play. Seems that they were just ok, didn't see the pitchers you spoke of though.
Do wish I would have. As for the canes looked good and bad, but who doesn't on any given day?

Never heard of the Cincinnati hurricanes until this tournament. But Kings Reds were in the easiest bracket. And im pretty sure the Cincinnati Crusaders team they beat was 15u team

Ah, say it ain't so. Didn't they host the tourney as well? A year makes a big difference in a wooden bat tourney. Heard someone saying that this is their first year, made up of 2 or 3 teams, don't quote me on it, but thought that was the case. They looked alright, but beatable. A Falcons team had em until last inning meltdown.

[gclsports77]

heard from a parent from different teams saying that if the falcons/hurricanes game was a aluminum bat game hurricanes would of beat them alot worse. Alot of long flyball outs. IMO the falcons were the worst team in that bracket just sound like the hurricanes played a very bad game. But the championship game was basically the dirtbag/hurricanes game

Didn't here that as I was watching the young one play. I did try and watch some of that game and it did seem like a well played one at that.
There may have been merit then with regard to the host team then or so it sounds like.

You heard wrong!
I saw that game and the Falcons had the Hurricanes beat the entire game. The Falcons gave up at least 5 unearned runs on two failed routine ground balls to the third baseman and several other routine plays. The Falcons were ahead 5-2 when the Hurricanes took their ace pitcher out of the game. It was 6-4 in the bottom of the 6th inning. Would not start the 7th inning due to a 2 hour time limit. The Hurricanes won on a controversial call at home. The Hurricane runner lowered his solder into the catcher and tried to plow the Falcon catcher over (did not attempt to slide or avoid contact), but was still called safe. Very bad call. The final score was 7-6. The facts are, that the Falcons gave that game away, not that "the Hurricanes played very bad".
If it was an aluminum bat game the falcons would have scored even more runs since they hit the ball more and had more hits.

Oh, seems like a valid point. I did not get to see it all as was watching young one play. I thought they were to avoid violent contact.

If you're talking about me and my comments concerning the Hurricane/Falcons game, then your feelings are incorrect. I'm not a player, but I know players, coaches, and parents on both teams.
Facts are facts no matter who you are. It's real simple to verify hits/errors/etc.
I wouldn't have even commented if not for the off the wall and false information that gclsports77 posted.
If you're going to make negative comments about a team, player, or anything else, you should at least use factual information.
I know that gclsports77 stated what he believed to be true, using second or third party info. But I watched the whole game. I know what I saw. It was a good game, there was a incorrect controversial call, and the Falcons were winning until they gave it away. All facts!
This is all a part of the game. In the end the Falcon team lost, but NOT because the Hurricanes were/are a superior team, or because they played bad. It was because the Falcons made more critical mistakes.

Ok, I thought that was what you said prior but now with more details? I for one am certainly not a player and don't have a dog in the fight. I seen some of thegame while watching the young one play on the next field. I did not see the play at home but heard the noise and it seems as though your point may be valid. If so, not a good way to lose a game, umps are to be a non factor.

[gclsports77]

Hurricanes had more errors its just they were all in the 1-4 innings. So Falcons didnt have more critical errors. And that play at the home was a correct call. You're allowed to run the catcher over if he doesnt have the ball and he was blocking the plate so that player made the right decision

Sounds like the rest of your league should just fold it up and save their money. I don't have a dog in this fight, but I would bet that you still will have to play the games between the lines. Not sure at that age anything is a given when it comes to playing the game. GL

I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I posted, "I know that gclsports77 stated what he believed to be true, using second or third party info.".
Now, that you insist on commenting further, on your incorrect information about a game you never seen, I'll set you straight.
The facts are:
1. I watched the entire game. You didn't!
2. I've seen the score book. I bet you haven't!
3. I'm a certified Umpire. You're not!!
4. You are NEVER allowed to "run the catcher over" (except in MLB).
5. If the catcher has the ball or the ball arrives at the same time as the runner, the runner has to make a "legal" slide or avoid contact. If not, the runner is out for malicious contact (Collision Rule in the NCAA)
6. If the catcher is fielding the ball (whether blocking the plate or not) and the runner does not try to avoid contact, he (the runner) will be called out for interference. The Huuricane runner lowered his head and ran into the catcher fielding the throw.
Again you cannot run the catcher over, under any circumstance.
The whole idea of the rule, is to keep players from getting hurt by a violent collision.
7. If you want to really know what you're talking about next time, read the National Federation of High School Associations Baseball Rules.
8. Quit being lazy and arm yourself with knowledge instead hearsay!
9. Don't believe everything you hear.
10. If you still think you're right, then you just lack the mental capacity to comprehend.


So... next time use first hand information (facts) and read your rule book, so you don't embarrass yourself and spread BS all over the place. We don't need more fans like you walking around, thinking they know the rules and teaching young ball players bad sportsmanship.

Sorry for being a little harsh, but you needed to be set straight.

It looks like they will have a good team, but I don't think anyone knows who the "top team/teams" are this year until the end of the season.
Wasn't that team the Tri County Wildcats a couple of years ago?? These teams change so much each year that no one can say how good you are until all the games are played. IMO it's All Hype until you finish the season.
Ask the NY Yankees about "chemistry" (they won't understand).

Couldn't agree more. Chemistry is just as important as talent! That's why they say anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

Never heard of the Tri County Wildcats, must have not been too good. Also, was this the same team as last year, if so what was your record and accomplishments?

[all_about_hustle]

I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I posted, "I know that gclsports77 stated what he believed to be true, using second or third party info.".
Now, that you insist on commenting further, on your incorrect information about a game you never seen, I'll set you straight.
The facts are:
1. I watched the entire game. You didn't!
2. I've seen the score book. I bet you haven't!
3. I'm a certified Umpire. You're not!!
4. You are NEVER allowed to "run the catcher over" (except in MLB).
5. If the catcher has the ball or the ball arrives at the same time as the runner, the runner has to make a "legal" slide or avoid contact. If not, the runner is out for malicious contact (Collision Rule in the NCAA)
6. If the catcher is fielding the ball (whether blocking the plate or not) and the runner does not try to avoid contact, he (the runner) will be called out for interference. The Huuricane runner lowered his head and ran into the catcher fielding the throw.
Again you cannot run the catcher over, under any circumstance.
The whole idea of the rule, is to keep players from getting hurt by a violent collision.
7. If you want to really know what you're talking about next time, read the National Federation of High School Associations Baseball Rules.
8. Quit being lazy and arm yourself with knowledge instead hearsay!
9. Don't believe everything you hear.
10. If you still think you're right, then you just lack the mental capacity to comprehend.


So... next time use first hand information (facts) and read your rule book, so you don't embarrass yourself and spread BS all over the place. We don't need more fans like you walking around, thinking they know the rules and teaching young ball players bad sportsmanship.

Sorry for being a little harsh, but you needed to be set straight.

If this happened this way you are indeed correct, should have been out.

[KingOfOhio23]

Kinect is average to below average. They lost Barklow and Dotson. They really have nothing else.
How can Kinect be average to below average who won the Sandlott Super league title as well as the SWOL National Div. Two players lost but some new talent gained

Your obviously a parent/player of the Falcons. I saw the game and he didnt even run him over. He pretty much fell on him, if that hurt the catcher than wowww. Secondly the catcher should've been thrown out of the tournament for pushing the player after he "ran over him" if thats what you would like to call it. Bad sportsmanship by the falcons... they were throwing gloves and yelling. Go cry to someone that cares HWCUSA

I did not see it but I was there watching mine young one play on the field by the Canes dugout. I was looking back and forth as it seemed like a good game. Seems as if there are certainly 2 versions here. Someone is wrong?
I did hear players complaining though.

[SwampBoy]

Falcons are terrible and lack sportsmanship... I've watched them for years and it's still run by coaches who don't know one thing about Baseball... Maybe if the coach stopped playing his son the Falcons might get somewhere.. But since he hasn't and won't The Lakota Tigers are now the top team in Lakota...

You "obviously" don't know who I am and don't know the ruling. I'm not a parent of a player on either team. I know players, coaches, and parents on both teams. I am an umpire and know the rules and what I saw. In fact I discussed this with two other umpires that were watching the game. They agreed the runner should have been called out.

I never said he ran over the catcher. I used/quoted the wording that gclsports77 posted.
You don't have to run over, hurt, or seriously injure the catcher to be called out. The rule was put in place to avoid injury. The runner ran into the catcher and didn't try to avoid contact. He's out, period!
Of course it probably wouldn't do you any good to look up the rule because it wouldn't make a difference to your little narrow mind.
I don't know who's crying here, (you might want to look in the mirror (the smell er could be the feller).
Did you even bother to read the rule?
If that's all you have to offer, you obviously don't believe in facts, rules, or know how the game should be played.
Oh yeah, if you don't like what I post, then don't read it. Keep walking around clueless and speaking false truths, that's your 1st amendment right. You probably have never read that either. :shrug:

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Are you trying to provoke a negative response from a player or coach? Did you get cut from this team or quit?

Speak for yourself. I wouldn't have even commented on this if not for the off the wall and false information that gclsports77 posted.
If you're going to make negative comments about a team, player, or anything else, you should at least use factual information.
If you want updates about any team you can use the same resources we all have. Quit being lazy.
If you are an umpire (I would say not, after reading your comments on here) you need to beome a better one by reading the rules and getting the call right!

cincyfinest: You are dealing with the biggest baby and whiner on Yappi. He whines about everthing. He knows nothing about baseball and the catcher can not block the plate. If the catcher blocks the plate he deserves to get run over. That is why it is allowed in MLB. It is not allowed in High School because of liability. The catcher has on protection and the runner does not, if he wants to block the plate he runs the risk of getting run over. Most prudent umpires can tell if the player intended to do harm or was trying to score. gcl77 and cincyfinest you are dealing with a guy without b lls.

You're right! I just tried to correct some misinformation about a bad call and incorrect rule interpretation. Then trolls like AmericaZero aka the "FAT MAN"
come on here to argue because that's what they do. AmericaZero, follows me around to just cause trouble.

What I can't believe is AmericaZero is the head of the Ohio Heat and he continually embarrasses himself, his organization, his players, their parents, and the entire SWO baseball community, by posting his crap. He doesn't get it and he has no shame.

AmericaZero, go back to the smorgisborg and keep on eating, because that's the only think you really know. Go to the mirror, look down, and that's the only success you'll see. Massive results!!

Wow, now we are really off this thread now. Why so angry and what if you have the wrong person. Like I said I seen the game as my son was playing on the side field and I however did not seen the runner/catcher fiasco. This is why parents are becoming more important than the actual player. Baseball is meant to be FUN, for all concerned, player, parent/s and good sportsmanship. It has been lost along the way...........

You wouldn't be bothered by someone who continually posts childish comments about every thread you post on, just for the sake of causing trouble?
I know it's hard to believe, that a person in his position would even post on Yappi, but If you go to his profile and check his past posts, you'll see he is indeed who I said he is. Just ask him, he runs the Ohio Heat and he calls himself fat, in many of his posts. He is in fact the founder of the Ohio Heat organization and is extremely obese.
I think you're open game if you advertise these two points in public.
The reason you see posts like AmericaZero's posts is because they coach for themselves, use a "win at all costs mentality" and not for the young baseball players sake. He's a loser and a poor example of what he could be a "role model" for baseball youth.
How many other organizational leaders do yo see post here and continually advertise their organization? The answer is none!
Again, he has no shame and lacks the ability to respect himself or anyone else associated with his organization.

As posters have commented in the past, "This will come back to bite him in the rear someday." You just don't help your organization by posting on here and acting like a child.

AmericaZero, grow up and show some leadership and maturity, that someone in your position should posses. If not your people will find you out, as the fraud that you are.

You're from Fairfield, right? Just look at the Fairfield baseball thread. AmericaZero is a parent from the 2008 senior class that was the cancer that inhibited Fairfields varsity baseball season last year. He caused problems for the coach, his son, the umpires, and the entire Fairfield baseball program. He even bragged about getting kicked out of one of your games by the umpire last year.

He is also the Ohio Heat founder/leader.
It's just unbelievable!!

Why would an umpire post items especially if he calls games for any of these teams?
Did the catcher give him access to the plate?

[HWCUSA]

No one said that they called games for any of these teams. Umpires make mistakes (I have before). I back my fellow umpires, I don't know the Umpire that made the call, but he made a bad call. The catcher was fielding the throw, there was access to the plate, the runner lowered his head/shoulder and ran into the catcher. The runner should have been called out. As far as I'm concered, end of story!

Yes I was from Fairfield, but as mentioned I have a young one right now so not in tune with the high school other than the fact that they had a winning season finally. Not sure, but as always thought loaded with talent. Who knows these days with players, parents, and out of control behavior makes one think that there are some disturbed people walking among us.

If all you say is correct, which I am not saying is or isn't as I only like to believe what I see, not a good thing, but at the same time neither is what your doing. The old saying, "two wrongs don't make a right."

I just hope in a few years that my son does not see this while he is playing a game that he loves. Perhaps I will get lucky and he may decide to play another sport. Good luck to you and your son during this season and try and enjoy the game.

Kinect is given an automatic bid to SWOL National Division because of reputation. The Sandlott Super League is a decent league but nothing Major. Kinect has some great teams in different age groups. They have some great coaching on those other age groups. Those coaches will tell you 16U is their weakest.

So the loss of the 2 players has made them this weak or they got a few breaks along the way last year? I was out there but did not see them play.

Ok, thanks for the info. I found the schedule for them for the wooden bat. So in their group of 4, them, 2 15U teams and Ky Titans, correct? Assume Titans were 16U, any word on them?

And the 15U Classics came out of that pool. Interesting.

Fairfield does have talent. I think they'll be even better next year.
I should know better to ignore the comments posted by individuals who sole purpose is to cause controversy and negativism. It would be best for everyone for me to just ignore AmericaZero and let others deduct from his posts who he really is.
My main purpose for posting on this thread was to clarify a rule and it got out of control.
Not that you need advice, but if I was to give you or anyone some about joining a team or organization, it would be to ask former players/parents of that team (not just the players recommended by the coaches) about their experience and watch a few games (incognito). Ask lots of questions, like team philosophies, player turn over etc. I learned the hard way by not doing these things.
Good luck to you and I do hope you, your son or no one has to be involved with the "Dark Side" of what is a great sport.

Ok, thanks I appreciate it. Is the Heat not a good organization as I have heard some good things about them? Son is only 10 now but playing 11u. I did see a team out there called Ohio Heat, they beat someone 15-3. Not sure if they were 15 or 16. I no there are allot of organizations out there now. I just feel if I got bad service from Bob Evans it isn't Bob's fault but my server and mine for allowing it.

Don't feel that The pride will be as good as last year. I feel that they will get beaten by some of the better national league teams. The new Ohio Heat has a different coach and should be better than last year. Any other thoughts on the various 16u teams?

Seen the Dirtbags play well over the weekend they were on the field next to my 11 yr old son's team. They lost 4-2 to Canes. Was talk that Falcons and Diamond Stars were pretty good but dont no. Also, seen the Heat team beat a Cobras team, so not sure bout them either.

Kentucky Baseball Club won the Sandlott World Series last year. They are solid. They basically have a pitching staff of about 8 ptcher only players. Not to mention their shortstop who throws close to 90mph.

Yes. He closed it out. And he was clocked at 88 that day. And yes, he made sure to throw three of those fastballs at me. And they were impressive. Gotta hand it to him.

Have to give a hand to the Pride's Ben Coors though who held them to 2 runs through i believe 5 and 2/3 innings.

Are they the better team, I take it?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

We play them at Athletes in Action for game 2 of the Best of the Midwest tourney. I know a couple guys from school who are Raider players and they of course think they are sweet, which they may or may not be. The raiders were never supposed to be the better PP team when they were all formed but that may have changed.

[TarHealTony]

Your obviously a parent/player of the Falcons. I saw the game and he didnt even run him over. He pretty much fell on him, if that hurt the catcher than wowww. Secondly the catcher should've been thrown out of the tournament for pushing the player after he "ran over him" if thats what you would like to call it. Bad sportsmanship by the falcons... they were throwing gloves and yelling. Go cry to someone that cares HWCUSA

I saw the game and the play at the plate too. My observation was the same as yours--the runner did his best to avoid any contact at the plate and the catcher, waiting for the ball basically drove the runner into the ground and then the ball arrived and rattled around the backstop. The runner went from foul territory into fair territory to avoid the catcher who was fully blocking the plate without the ball. There wasn't even a play at the plate.

Typically the reason teams that do not report their games in a timely manner is, that if they did it wouldn't be pretty and when they do they sometimes accidentally, leave out a few losses. Not saying that this is the case as it applies to this team. But for a team that is marketed as this one is, recruits aggressively on a continually constant bases, and to have the supposedly "talented" group of players (the term "elite" has been used as it applies to this team) , I would say a .500 record would be under achievement. Many things can cause this, not sure what reasons apply to this team. :shrug:

What is going on with Middie Pride? They are losing league games. Are the teams that they are beating American League teams? The Pride has always been so solid. I know that they are not exactly the same team as before, but I have heard that the players that they picked up were good. Is it pitching or hitting that is not working for them? It is odd to see them so low in the standings. Hope things improve for them.

Didn't read it. Heard it. And this is not the same Pride team as it was the third game of the season, bud. Things have changed.

[ILoveBaseball]

The Stix National is really called Stix Elite. Supposed to be the best. The "Elite". Only problem is that the team changes every year and the coaches stay at the 16U level. Chemistry may be missing because the team has lost most of their games.Plus every player is chosen by try-outs and sometimes try-outs are deceiving. Coaches have been known to make a few mistakes going only by try-outs. This team has a who;e team based on try-outs only. Also the coaches don't want to work with the kids to make them better because next year they will have a whole new team. Seems like this team is a waste of time and money. Although the kids do travel a lot which, if you like and can afford to go all over the country, maybe this experience cab be fun.

Yeah, I heard from several past and present players that have been associated with this "Elite" :blush: team, that it's a big marketing scheme.
Use the scout exposure card to entice good players to join the team.
Loyalty and team chemistry is not promoted and does not exist. Players join and quit the team all year round on a constant basis. Very cut throat team philosophy.
Maybe that's the reason their record does not show up anywhere, because of the poor or should I say lack of success/production.

[ILoveBaseball]

Has anyone watched the Elite Stix play a game? Are the position players any good at their respective positions? I know that their are some Moeller kids on the team. Are the parents of the kids on the team pleased with what they are getting for the amount of money that they spent to be a part of this? I have read that the coaches are cut-throat. If so , does anyone know how the coaches intend to fix the problem with this team?

I went to a game this morning, it was Cin Bulldogs vs. Ohio Heat 16 age group. I arrived late just past 9am at Simon Kenton HS. Score in top of 2 was 0-0. Seen #44 hit a grand slam and the Heat pounded the baseball all over the field, pitcher was #15 and then #10 for Dogs. Heat pitched #11 and #34.
Game was over before 10am, Heat 13-0 run rule in less than an hour. Not sure how good Bulldogs but seen that they beat the Heat 2-1 earlier in year and that post led me to want to see the game as the back and forth banter.
It was virtually error free as well, so it was just a good game for them and a bad one for the Dogs would be the way I viewed it.

Good luck to your team and will probably take in a few other games as well since it is close by.

Looking over it appears that indeed the dirtbags are a solid team, along with the flames, hurricanes seem also, now tigers is yet tbd, looks like the season will show whether they are in the top or not. Simply too early to tell. Seems as there certainly are others, but since I am not familiar with all of them I will refrain from speculation at this time and let the season play out.:cool:

I watched them play a Falcons team and won that game rather easily. My son is on a younger Chiefs team and for the most part they are normally always pretty solid. Seen that they just won the Freedom due to a post here.

Heard the Chiefs won the Freedom Classic up in Akron over the weekend (and as mentioned above, beat the dirtbags). Sounds like the Dirtbags are NOT the best team "hands down"

[KettBall]

It looks like the Dirtbags are not using everything they have for the weekday league games. I talked with a player on the team and they used woodbats against the Chiefs. The Dirtbags also won the Storm club 17U July 4th tournament. They run ruled 3 of the 17U teams. The Chiefs are good. I have seen them play twice and they are a good club.

[SwampBoy]

Number 11 for the Dirtbags was hit by a line driver right in the you know whats.... Poor guy was carted off the field...

May your prayers be with him.

Thank you..

[RunNgun]

Is it true the Dirtbags did something to Lasalle HS football field after losing a game in the Storm Club 4th of July tournament? Someone said they took their spikes and put bigs holes in it after losing a close one.

[KettBall]

The Dirtbags did not damage the field at LaSalle. If it was damaged, the Clearmont Cobras would be the culprits. And #11 was not carted off the field and was not hit by a ball.

The Fairfield Chiefs do seem to be a solid team. I have heard that they most certainly have strong players on that team who seem good defensively as well as offensively. this team has been around for a long time and has some of the same players that have been there since they were in grade school, almost like middie pride had until they lost a few of their players this year. Chemistry is important on any team and the Chiefs must have maintained that. The coach must also treat his players well.

Like I said, the Dirtbags used woodbats against the chiefs aluminum. The tournament win in Akron is impressive. The Dirtbags also went 6-0 this weekend and won the Best of the Midwest in Indianapolis. They run ruled three of the teams. I think that the SWOL 16U National League has some very good teams. The Kentucky Colonels made the Championship game this weekned, loosing to the Dirtbags. lets just all agree that the this league is loaded with talented teams.
