Minnesota 2015: Dead thread

[Bell44]

you are probably correct. Not much else to look forward to in that town.

So I drove past Bielenberg Sports Center today for work and mother of god those fields and that whole complex is amazing.... Getting 1 tourney at that place would be sweet.

Yeah, it's a crazy complex. It has like 15 ball fields and a bunch of soccer fields. As said before, sadly it only has one pinwheel of adult softball fields.

Rich Valley in IGH would also be a great venue for softball tournaments. 9 fields - 2 full size baseball, 4 with 300 foot fences, 2 with 275 foot fences, 1 intermediate/youth baseball field.

I played coed at Bielenberg for a couple years and subbed for men's.

Four issues with it:

1) USSSA
2) The infields are concrete
3) Pitching rubbers stick above the infield way too far which sucks when pitching
4) You can't swear and I believe you have to pay a fee to play again the next week/league night

Pros:

1) Nice Complex
2) 300' fields!
3) Used to be a couple decent bitties at coed (More Woodbury moms would make it boss as f)

Are the Hanover softball tournaments the only time anyone is every real excited to go to Hanover?

That and the River INN!!! Fantastic little restaurant in Hanover.

Encompass beat team racks aka Sonnys and Xtreme is up early on 4thefallen.

 

[Maximus Decimus]

Xtreme won by run rule in 5 I think

 

[Yoke]

4 The Fallen's hitting wasn't as great as I expected from a major team.

No throwing stones on the eve of our first tourney of the year!! LOL

 

[Yoke]

If they saw me hit, they'd say, "Yup, that sucked about as much as we thought it would."

 

[Maximus Decimus]

encompass knocked off albicocco. MN teams are 2-0 against major teams so far.

 

[squeakslang3]

Encompass is 3-0 after day 1 beating- Team Racks/Easton, Albiccoco, FenceBrokers. Xtreme went 1-2 beating 4theFallen, losing to- Fencebrokers, Precision/Easton.

 

[Maximus Decimus]

Encompass vs Smash it starts in 45 mins.

Encompass vs Smash it starts in 45 mins.

It took me until about 10 minutes ago to realize Smash It is Laservision.

Looks like the forecast finally took a sh&t for the weekend at Hanover

 

[Yoke]

As always, good luck to everyone playing this weekend in every game except the ones against us.

Then I hope you do poorly.

Really??? Tonight and tomorrow still looks great and they are talking light rain Sunday morning, doesn't sound that bad...

 

[Maximus Decimus]

People are emailing Pfeff about the rain and if he's canceling the tourney.

 

[Yoke]

I saw that. Is the rain that surprising?

 

[Sixes]

or is it surprising that idiots are e-mailing Pfeff?

 

[tsfingrocks]

I hated when guys on my team, when I ran Long Ball, would be texting and calling me "Dude is it cancelled?" "I assume it's cancelled." "Has it been cancelled yet?" How about if it's cancelled I'll let you know first since it only matters to you 10 morons.

 

[Yoke]

"Is it cancelled?"

Yup, it is, but I was planning on keeping that a secret.

 

[tsfingrocks]

"Is it cancelled?"

Yup, it is, but I was planning on keeping that a secret.

Exactly. But seriously, is it? Huh? Coach?

 

[Maximus Decimus]

Final 4 for c is sjk silverbacks eai and statefarm or showbombs

 

[sjoquist43]

We got beat by State Farm. First time our squad has played together, thought we did alright. Just fun playing ball again!

 

[Sixes]

Is this the same squad that was U.S. Digital/Dugarels last year?

 

[sjoquist43]

3 of us from US Digital and the rest is a mixture of guys from MPL and Showbombs. Great bunch of guys, I think this is going to be a fun year!

 

[MR. ASA HOLE]

I sucked, so, pretty much mid-season form. All pop-ups all day.

 

[Akij987]

Well that didn't last long.....

 

[Ringer44]

Well that didn't last long.....

Utrip aftermath and cold are not a good combo it looks like, I bet they were fun swings though.

 

[Akij987]

This was a teammates bat, I never got a chance to swing it, and either did he since he had national guard stuff this weekend. The 4 or 5 guys that swung it loved it though. I don't recall any HR's being hit with it either, all those came off the future and stadium we were swinging. I'd say 200ish hits on it. Wrapper came off this weekend, hit a little BP, broke 5 games into the tourney.

 

[Sixes]

yikes..........
