So...how do the gods see things this week..glad I don't vote...cause things are crazy after the brawl in Springfield
First of all ... We can't wait to play you guys 2 times more in PP like we have scheduled... those will be fun.
I am having a hard time 'placing' Red .. they lost the best pitcher in OH - how do you rank them #1 still until they play the teams in the list and show they can keep it? I don't think you guys, us or classics to name a few are 'that' far behind them that without her we can't beat them - we will have to see and do it though.
IMHO the Classics are #1 for now - 5 other teams are just behind them .. while we won on sat, I think we have to do it again for us to pass you guys. One win or loss is not the answer, the body of work is.
Honestly, the top 6 will move all over the place over the summer, a surprise team may come up I am sure and join the top 10... I hope they do!
This group of '98 teams and coaches are special .. I am amazed at the things other coaches shared with me and I hope with them .. we all want to win, but we like each other and root for each other, I spent over 6 hours on the phone w/ you guys since the tourney sharing thoughts, talking shop, etc.. Eric, when you called me Sun morning and we talked about the 'reason' we do this for the girls and what is the right way vs wrong way - hit home with me ... I see that in the coaches and teams here.
I told Matt today - we need to committ to work togther between now and 14u season to take 4-6 STRONG OHIO teams to ASA NATS and compete... how cool would that be? We all root for each other.. to do that we need to train, play and push each other.. this was a step in the right direction ... let's make it happen...
