The idea behind it was to make teams play up to C, hasn't worked. Just like the OE in E, now that's gone. I like it as an umpire because it moves games along. I actually wouldn't mind if they just became DBO's in D and IE in E. Hell if I had my way, it would be IE in Conference, might keep games on time.

I understand the logic behind the rule. But it’s rarely used in D. And getting people to play up is about as easy as getting people to agree politically.

Sad ASA/USA has this platform to showcase their top softball and they struggle with live feeds.

I don't think the stream was like this last year. Maybe the quality has more to do with the WIFI quality at the park? I am just guessing...

If I saw right, it’s in OKC next year, so it should get better.

I was hoping to watch it today, but it’s been tough. They’re streaming it on Facebook now.

Carl had a mini meltdown about their Super team.

I can't attach the image because it is too large but he essentially said "Apparently I sent our C team to the supers"

Somebody commented about how "I know for a fact these guys play hard every play"
Carl responded (and then deleted said comment) that No they don't and a lot of those guys won't be on the team anymore.

I don’t know that I’d be super jazzed about joining up with his team if that’s how he talked about me if I lost.

I don't know that I'd be super jazzed abiut joining anything he ran anyways. Though I guess there are limited options for guys at that level. Not many super high level ASA teams that play on a frequent basis. They haven't gotten ASA to the same level as conference USSSA.

That’s true. Anything to do with him would be rough.

If you’re going to play high level ASA, there aren’t a pile of options nationally. I don’t know that you ever top the conference at that level. Hopefully more and more teams travel to the Super and A each year.

Part of Monsta's problem is they have had some of their impact players leave, Williams, Washington, Greinert, White, Mooch, Messer, I know Whaley plays with them when he can dont know if he was at the super. Some of their core better players have dropped off as well, Chent, Pilar, Rauma ect. So in my uneducated opinion they are left with players who arent as good. Its not to say those guys that are left or picked up arent good, but they arent major players, they are A and B players and against All-Star caliber teams at the A and Super it shows they are a step below those all star teams...just my .02

I wonder what Monsta really ends up doing next year. They'll have to rework that roster a lot.
