Sounds like the Utrip powers that be have a mess on their hands trying to plan worlds around a potential hurricane. Maybe its just me, but i have not enjoyed playing at the Viera complex, i think moving away from Disney was a big mistake at least from a softball atmosphere standpoint. Playing at Viera is like playing in a wind tunnel, its always windy being right on the ocean, the balls almost always dont fly unless its early evening or night. How many times have we seen AA-B teams struggling to score 10 runs in a world tourny at that complex? Just my .02....Any of you knuckleheads going down to Worlds in Viera?
Case and point, there was a couple B games, 4-3, 6-5, 9-4, 11-10, 12-11...Sounds like the Utrip powers that be have a mess on their hands trying to plan worlds around a potential hurricane.

I think this maybe a first. I don't see a single MN team b or higher at worlds.
I've heard rumors they are trying to put a conference event back up here in the near future. I hope that is the case.Part of it is there isnt any utrip tourneys for those teams to play in locally. I mean who to support utrip in florida with a major cost for teams and players to go when they dont support anything locally here.
I'd be surprised if they do without a turf complex to hold it at. Teams complain about the cost of flying into MSP for tournaments that they aren't sure are going to play. Almost every new tournament since I started doing Conference has been at turf complexes. I think Detroit is the only one that wasn't.I've heard rumors they are trying to put a conference event back up here in the near future. I hope that is the case.
Lyf lives in Savage, but he’s a Texas guy, so maybe we give them 2.5 Minnesota guys.Thor & Dirty. Anyone else?
Depends on why you're suspended and what the relationship is like between the associations. I would expect the team to be suspended from WSL, USA and AWS. They will probably be allowed to play One Nation, ISA maybe one or two other smaller ones. I actually kind of feel bad for the two guys that got picked up that day from an A team that wasn't playing. They weren't allowed to test their bats and had to swing what was in the bucket, turns out it was one of those guys that had the bat in their hands when the glass shattered. Only kind of bad though, sounds like everyone in FL knows that teams swings glass, I don't think anyone thought they were stupid enough to bring it to Worlds.Do other associations go with utrip suspensions, or if you’re suspended, you just go play one of the other associations?
Seems like some states have 5 different associations. I remember when Minnesota had more. I think 4 was tops.
They were sponsored by Exclusive Bats, whose known for shaving bats. They have a military team they sponsor too, it is super weird that they don't get more grief.Depends on why you're suspended and what the relationship is like between the associations.

how about the Columbus Indiana fields? Baltimore? Peach or whatever the name of it is now. Tulsa? Chi town?...of course there is the Smoky and Cincy as well. I think there is still a fair amount that plays on the dirt.I'd be surprised if they do without a turf complex to hold it at.

Columbus no longer has a Major, neither does Tulsa, both Chicago majors were played on turf. My comment was also about new events. Talking with some people in Viera last week, the Conference schedule is going to change a whole lot from what it's traditionally been. More duals and more weekends off is what I'm hearing.how about the Columbus Indiana fields? Baltimore? Peach or whatever the name of it is now. Tulsa?

Had the Silverbacks at C worlds, they played pretty well and beat a couple of very good teams to finish top third. Terry Santori and I worked the Championship game.
Whatever you do, don't buy off the Monsta pages on Facebook, unless you want to pay $400-$500...Trying to find a used USA bat to swing in the tunnels this winter, and holy **** do some people really shoot their shot on the high prices. Good for them, I guess.
Solid deals on utrip bats though.
A couple things on one of the Anarchy pages were what made me think of it.Whatever you do, don't buy off the Monsta pages on Facebook, unless you want to pay $400-$500...
If you want to swing 28s I've got a couple i'd sell for 100-150ish.Trying to find a used USA bat to swing in the tunnels this winter, and holy **** do some people really shoot their shot on the high prices. Good for them, I guess.

I could probably go 28, but am going to stick with 26.If you want to swing 28s I've got a couple i'd sell for 100-150ish.
