Slap Hands!
Hearing some chirps that B&G is loading up for 2020.
Both 2-0
I saw that after I posted. That’s what I get for not scrolling up.
They sure did. They really hit like crap in their two games.
The pitcher yesterday looked awfully good - talked to a couple of the Venom guys and they said the wind was moving his knuckleball all over and the umpire was giving him a lot of really flat calls (he also gave Chuck at least 2 that I saw).
Today they just couldn't get anything strung together.

Tough to make calls standing there...

That should be fireable.
Nah.. heard they are losing their best guy and anchor of that team..
Sticking to Mutt ball for 2020
Usssa fall state has been fun so far. They pushed the final 4 games to tomorrow so we could play full games which I think everyone appreciated. Turned into a decent afternoon and evening after the rain all morning and Lac Lavon held up pretty dang well.

Average, at best
A&B too. They got us real good. Coors Light/Riverlink couldn't handle our internet prowess.

Too sweeeeeeeet
Sand Creek was pretty solid, too. The infields were nice. Outfields were mushy, but that was as expected.
We didn’t exactly get a generous draw, but it was fun. 5 guys from SBF gets you at least 1 win.
Classic M balls are 40/325. Those are the standard for USSSA across the board I believe.
Some areas down south I think have moved to Classic M+ which is 52/275 but I don't think I've played anywhere using those.

I got lucky picking them. I saw they had a good record and a winning record against teams above their class. I also know from experience that teams in the north east play down.
When I played in Philly, E state would get 70-80 teams, D maybe 15, and C would get 4-6. I played on a E team out there that went 4-2 at D state the year before I joined and they were allowed to petitioned down to E. We went 1-2 at E state the next year because we ended about 8 innings on HR inning ending outs. Fast forward a few years (2017) and they are still technically an E team, but played D state. Ended up going 5-2 at D state and placed 5th as an “E” team.

Bring a baggy, that way when you freeze your testicles off, you have somewhere to store them until they can be reattached.
Not a bad idea! I’m debating wearing some ice fishing gear to stay warm.

Me and my Bro had fun at sand creek, weather obviously terrible, had to go home and get my glasses to keep the mist/rain out of my eyes as it was blowing sideways for two games and mud was splashing up in my face fielding grounders. I was hoping they would not cancel fall firements as the team i was playing with was all from Wisconsin except for me and my brother. We had a tough draw the last two games, we played the Kubes team that won the gold and were able to beat them and then we played stage coach (who won the open) and lost in a spirited pillow fight in the driving rain 6-3. woooo. The WI guys would like to move up and play B next year and I hope they do as we could always use more B teams, be interesting to see how the off season shakes out!!! I'm hearing rumors Comatose is trying to merge with a MN sponsor/team as well.
Not shorts and a bro-tank??
Not in the fall. Need to go through winter before 38 feels warm.
