guys it is not some big secret.  There are 2 different organizations that the teams are affiliated with.  It is only normal for the gladiators and piranhas to play nations, since they host those tournaments.  Likewise for the vipers, they are affiliated with USSSA baseball and play their tournaments.  I know in the past, both have played each others tournaments from time to time but teams don't necessarily like playing back to back tournaments on a regular basis. 

 

For drama purposes, did any of ya'll play that Wolverine team? poor attitude, sportsmanship, and classless group of coaches and parents.

Not sure how many teams they have, but your right, I didn't see them either.  Not sure what the deal is.  You seem to be in the know about all that so you tell me what is up.  I have heard all kinds of rumors, but so as not to cause drama I will let others comment on that.


Lol. I seem to be in the know huh? What know is that? I coach a 14u team that plays out of town tournaments, usssa and nations. I only "know" what my team does.

Wanna talk about classless and unsportsmanlike...9U Young Guns (Bridge City?) still stealing bases up 30-1 in the 3rd inning Saturday night. Was watching my nephew's Pirahana team on the field next to them and it made me sick...but our little 8U team knocked them off in the championship lol

That's a shame. Is 9u too young to start hitting batters on purpose? Lol

Just the fact the score was 30-1 is enough said.

 

The statement above made by 1987 exposes the problem if that guy is on that coaching staff.

 

"only stole second and third" 

 

Stealing any bases at all after up over 10 runs is uncalled for.

 

There are ways to keep from scoring 30 and teach your kids a good lesson on the day.

 

I have seen the scores posted by that team and I am embarrassed for them.

The reason there were not any Piranha teams playing in the recent USSSA tournament is because recently it was decided that the Piranha teams were not allowed to play in the USSSA events held at Ford Park this year. The teams were told “We will NOT be participating in USSSA Ford Park events, due to their decision to build a baseball academy right next to us.  USSSA events (or other organizations) outside of Beaumont are fine.”

 

 

But it's all about the kids, right?

Why does it matter which teams play in which tournaments. Is there some sort of requirement to play in a tournament held in Beaumont, just because you're a local team? Should teams have to play every local tournament just because there is a tournament held, no matter how many weekends in a row they have played? Aren't the usssa tournaments free, if so are they taking business away from them by not playing?

I think teams should be able to play in any of the tournaments they wish.  USSSA holds world series in Sulphur, but to qualify you have to play so many tournaments in your home state.  Since the Piranha's are banned from playing local USSSA tournaments, the teams would have to travel to play to be eligible for the world series.  I know this didn't affect all of the teams, but the younger teams it does.  Nation's doesn't host a local world series from what we found, I believe they start at 9U, so the 7U & 8U kids who's team can't travel no longer have a chance to play in the world series. What kid wouldn't love the chance to do that?

They are 7 and 8, stick with it a couple of years and they will get their chance to play in a "World Series" you know with kids from this Region.

Back in 2012 when my team was 11, we were scheduled to play Usssa and Nations tournaments. We were scheduled for a usssa tournament, then on a random Wednesday usssa decided to suspend all Gladiator teams from usssa for the season, cause they didn't like the fact that all the teams weren't playing all of the local tournaments. That wasn't right to my 11 kids that were on the team was it? But like you said buddy, it's all about the kids right?

      More voting fraud! Guess who?

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”

      The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.
