1. People won't believe how fast a kid can throw unless they actually see the radar gun. (this is discussed ad nauseum on page 2 which is where I was specifically directed to read)
2. Even if they see the radar gun they will say it must be broken if the MPH is what they consider unrealistic or too fast.
3. This message board is loaded with idiots. If you are offended by that statement then you're probably one of them. There are a few knowledgeable folks, but they are few and far between.
4. If you compare that thread to the VTD website's list of the top points for teams, there are some GLARING OMISSIONS. Including teams in the top 5 according to VTD THAT AREN'T EVEN MENTIONED IN THAT THREAD. Not to mention teams that ARE mentioned over and over that have been getting tuned up on the regular over the last month or so.
So just from browsing and asking around some I've come up with a list of the names I keep hearing the most.
AXE
Glory Adkins
D-Bat (can't remember which one)
Mansfield (?) Black Sox
Mizuno
Texas Blast Waco
Xtreme Heat
...and a few others that slipped my mind. If you guys can confirm or give any info on those teams I would appreciate it. It's hard to go off of tournament archives and ribbons. I wanted to actually hear from some folks that have seen the teams in action. Also feel free to add any teams that you've watched and feel have a solid chance of making some noise in the future.
That's pretty funny.
I love it when a thread comes out that gets on someone's nerves and then the reader feels the need to post on the thread that gets on their nerves.
Man that was kind of hard to type.
If you really want to have some fun....Start a thread and put somewhere in the title "Does pitching speed really matter".
