POP Time wrote:Since Real Bucket... AKA LTG PITCHERS DAD is upset I have talked about their pitching yet this season I thought I would help him out in the rankings.
1. LTG: Won the Tourney over Lady Spartans. Though the pitching on this team wouldn’t stack up to most teams around they manage to pull out wins and that’s what matters
2. FH Gold: The team to BEAT didn’t play. Good luck in So Cal, but they've won in Sac against these teams minus LTG and OBS.
3. OBS: I really thought this team would have shown better this last weekend. The Force team they lost to is a pretty strong team but when you get use to playing crappy teams in Stockton you play at that level. Proof you have to chase the better teams. Early exit in Sac, got to win outside of Stockton
4. Lady Spartans: Got a lot of shit for playing 14’s last week but maybe it helped. I thought they had their best tournament of fall.
5. Breeze: Another Semi Final showing lost to LTG, LTG dad is right a team can’t live on one pitcher you have to have more then that
6. San Jose Sting: Lost to Breeze 01
7. KG Hitters – Baptista: Struggled all weekend I thought lost to TC in pool play got by a few weak teams on Sunday, not a good weekend overall.
8. Fresno Force 01: I had not paid much attention to these guys but overall thought they were strong enough to throw them in the top 10.
9. Nevada Lightning: won against LTG last weekend and lost to the same Fresno team OBS did. They 9th last in last weeks ranking. Don't see how they got bumped.
Foot Hill Gold has yet to beat OBS that I know of so I would not place them above OBS at the end of the season. Plus winning in Sac has been about the same as Stockton, all of the same teams have played both except OBS n Gold who have pretty much stayed close to home. 3 wins in Sac does not beat 4 wins in Stocktonbigballer wrote:2.

Tho I agree you have to win outside of Stockton this team has smacked every team on the list while playing in Stockton so the over all body of work means something. 4 wins in Stockton over the same teams beats 3 wins in Sac.bigballer wrote:3.

Really 1 good weekend you are gonna hang your hat on??? Look at the schedule they played and have played all season. When the TD is on your staff and lines you up with ducks every week what do you think will happen. How did they luck out and get the easy road on Sunday in that tourney yet the one and two seeds from the same pool stayed on the same side of the bracket??? If you look at bracketing 1 normally stays up top 2 goes down below then in the next pool 1 goes down 2 goes up, so on and so on, this way Sunday play is spread out and you should play different teams. Not the case when a GY team plays in a GY tourney. They were out side all fall and got a tip of the hat with a good weekend but lets keep it real.bigballer wrote:9.

USA Elite still sucks and for the overall body of work AASA Virchis deserves an overall top 10 for fall.bigballer wrote:AASA Virchis:Lost #1 pitcher to USA Elite and did not fair well in Stockton.
