I love the guys crying they can't get on a roster and then crying about their rating... it just might be attitude related but none of them ever mention that.

Yea i felt like the numbers were low last year as well, at least at the upper level, the first few tournys we played had to be a B-C combined because there wasnt enough Open teams. Its all the more reason in my opinion to keep forcing teams up from lower levels so each level has teams to play with and against. I know one C team said they wont play in any tourny that has open teams in it, I laughed, the majority of the tournys we played in last year had A and above teams in it, if we played against teams only our level, we would never play.
This is what I was gonna say. Seems like a lot of people found other activities when we had 2-3 months of no ball and just moved on.
That and it seems like there are just fewer young squads at leagues that would eventually turn in to the next batch of tournament teams, etc. I know last year we had one team full of kids that were 21-23 that had some guys with a lot of talent. We added a couple to our roster for some throw together tourneys down the stretch last summer and they seemed to enjoy it. Hopefully they stick together.

I didn't even realize it's the dual already....
Me either. Without my weekly random dart throw at the bracket for picks I haven't really even kept track of who is on what team anymore.
I did swing one of the new-ish Juno bats last weekend at the cages and was pretty impressed. The handle was too flexy and the bat was too light (he likes flex handles and 25oz bats) but the barrel felt really really nice and the ball seemed to jump really well for a bat with minimal swings.

Too sweeeeeeeet
I watch a little when they show it free on YouTube. All the baseball games were done for the night.
Does Juno have a bunch of flex options and all that? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before.
I play with a guy that swings an Onyx in utrip. The ball seems to come off that pretty well. I might have to try it out this summer.

I believe it's just a flex handle or stiff handle option. They don't make any in 28oz though

Give that feedback to Will, he can get it to Carucci and Flip. I can't believe some of the guys I saw swinging Juno at Challenge Cup were swinging lighter than 28.I believe it's just a flex handle or stiff handle option. They don't make any in 28oz though

I've seen reports that there were some substances involved. It was also 1am after a helluva long week at the park. I'm very interested to see what happens with points and suspensions. By the Conference Rule Book the whole MPT team could be suspended for up to a year. Branch got suspended for a month last year for less than what happened here. Andy's been suspended quite a few times for much less than what John and Flip did.
I've never seen a double forfeit called in a Conference tournament. I'm assuming I'll get an email about it this week from the folks in charge.

We had planned to play in it but wanted no part of 35 degrees wind and rain for the first tourney of the year. Hopefully looking like Elk River the following weekend weather wise is looking better. Can say for sure no fun to be had at my age playing in that type of cold.
Per Will, the endloads on Juno bats are added in addition to the bat weight. So a 26oz balanced bat weights 26. A 26oz bat with a half ounce endload will add half an ounce and weigh 26.5. So it is possible they were swinging 27oz with the full ounce endload to weigh in at 28oz (what I'd order). It's also possible Juno customizes bat weights for their sponsored teams that they don't make available for the general public.

Look them all up on the player rating site. 75% C cards.

They are C. Looks like they took second at the stadium this weekend behind a D team (Nasty Boys) who finished first, with GGM 3rd, Maniax 4th and Stoop 5th.

Has anyone heard anything from Pfeffer on I run for Ryan? I also thought they were bumped according to the Mn usa website? I know they did really well in usssa last year.

Interesting. How long those guys been stuck in C now?
They were on the state bump list for ASA/USA a few months ago. Maybe some appealed down? I know Tom and Dan have had C cards for 4-5 years now.
I don't recall anyone else on their USSSA team roster (except a sub here or there) having a C card for ASA. But a search from their roster last season on the ASA player classification page shows a whole bunch of C cards for 2022.
