calm down MIF...the SunDevils organization is lucky that Dugas/Fackler don't run the Beaumont Explosion Club anymore. If I remember correctly they used to run through yall pretty good and on more than one occasion might I add.

Dugas' son now plays for us.  Wonder why?

That's silly.  Why don't you name 1 kid who didn't get "improve his position"  after going through PONY. little league, high school ball or any of the numerous select teams.  All kids who play get better.  It just happens that you pick the kids with the most upside to work with.   Go ahead and list your parents, players, coaches etc.  It's not going to prove your point, whatever that might be.

We don't pick them...they pick us.  Due to sheer numbers, we have to turn away more kids than we can take.

My bottom line point is...you are talking about things you don't know anything about.  Most of the time, people can ignore that...but when you start slamming something that is personal to me...then I won't let that go.

OK.  I'm done beating this dead horse, but, please don't act like your organization has never approached good players from other teams and invited/recruited them to play for the SunDevils.  That wouldn't be entirely truthful, would it?

With all due respect, this poster simply does not know what he is talking about.  I have read (and re-read) this post and cannot find much, if any, accuracy in it.  It is disrespectful to the coaches and to each of the players who put in countless hours working and becoming good enough to get to the next level.  As being intimately involved with this organization since it began, I do know what they do and have done for countless young men in this area.

(1)  Most of the kids come into the organization when they are 12-14 years of age.  As time goes by, some players drift into the program at an older age.  We are always looking for the opportunity to provide a motivated and talented kid an avenue to improve.

(2)  With no disrespect to Morgan Walker (who I've known for years), he has given very few of our players lessons...ever.  Any kid who comes to us is not required to use us for lessons...that is their choice.  They all wind up choosing us.

(3)  We don't give them their talent...God does.  What we do is turn that talent into use-able skills on the baseball field.

(4)  There is no marketing strategy here...we don't make a dime on this.  What we do get is the opportunity to stand in the room when 1 of our kids signs a National Letter of Intent to play somewhere he always wanted to...as the commercial says, "priceless".

(5)  Maybe these kids would've played somewhere without the Sun Devils...who knows?  What I do know is that we provided these kids years of training, exposure, etc.  I do know that, if it hadn't been for us, most of these kids would have never played at the level they are. 

We don't need any advertising.  The college coaches call us.  The scouts call us.  They come to our facility.  They call us with kids they want us to take on, to teach, to train.  That is not marketing...that is not advertising.....its fact.  I am proud of what we've done.  I take offense to westend's comments to the contrary.  There...I've vented.

I do not mean any disrespect now with that in mind......why do some of the kids in your organization take batting lessons from Fackler?  I have personally seen them there taking lessons with mine.

The bottom line is hard work pays off.  I have seen kids and teamates bust their hump alone or with another player and improve dramatically and I have seen kids bust their hump with a private instructor and improve dramatically.  The bottom line is the kid who works the hardest if the talent is equal will win.  Organizations such as the sundevils and big timers make kids better because the kid is there working and giving his all ( his parents have invested to much for him not to)  there is not the option of not doing the work if mom and dad are spending their hard earned money on the lessons or team.  However if the kid can have that same motivation working with a higschool teammate the results will be the same as if he was in one of these organizations and the result is improvment.

I like the organizations because they can get some kids to work that on their own are not dedicated enough

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
