Deer Park Money Tournment -- Predictions

[slaphitter]

Time to crank up for the week-end. What are the Predictions for the money tournment in Deer Park ????? I will start
In 12u it is difficult to predict. A couple of the "so call" top teams have had to Pick up ball players for almost every tournment they have played in. The NTX teams are suppose to be strong but don't seem to fair great overall when playing in STX. They could surprize some teams this year. Tps 98 has played up to 14u all spring so it is difficult to see how they match up against the other 12u teams. But I will try.

12u

1) Tx Legendz
2) Tps 98
3) 99 Tx Heat
4) Houston Power
5) Pearland Panthers

Here's a quote from Slapper yesterday. Same teams in the Money I think? Delusional? Can't spell? Just BSing? Latter I think. No hard feelings Slap, just had to call you out for non consistency.

"In STX it is difficult to say at this point who are the top teams. 2 teams that are rated in the top 5 can't seem to play in a tournment without picking up ball players. Still not sure if they will last the season. The money tournment coming up in Deer Park should tell everyone a few things because all the top 12u teams are suppose to be there. But for the purpose of discussion my top 5 in no particuliar order"

Power
Force
Tps98
Rage
Mizuno

I like TPS, Rage and Power (Show) in no order.

Rocks that post was about the top teams in STX not who was going to place in the top 5 in the money tournment. I still believe the teams I mention in STX are the best in the long run if they can correct the issues of getting enough ball players. Your team Smash might even move back in the top 5. And I have no hard feeling just trying to call the tournment as I saw it.

The Force has picked up some players due to injury, but none of those pickups were any better than the original player that was either injured or unavailable to play for whatever reason. The Force will be just as strong or even stronger with their original players. TPS 98 is always strong and Houston Power is getting better every time I see them. So there is your top 3 from the $$$$$$$ Tourney.

I am glad to hear that about Force. They have a great bunch of girls that have alot of talent.

Everyone needs to keep an eye on that new pitcher for Fusion. Clocks consistently at 57mph so her coaches say.

Anyone have an idea which team she came from? I am not one to exaggerate speed but I saw a dd that seemed close to that a few weeks past.

My picks
Force
TPS
Panthers
Power
Then all the rest. SB Rocks I would have put you all in the top five but you didn't even put yourselves in the mix. Good luck to all.

We'll take the underdog role!

14-U- TX Hawks will be in the top 5 if not the top 3

Really hate to miss this one. All Freshmen on 14U Katy Force (Black) tied up with HS playoffs. Hopefully that will be over soon!

Man working in the oil patch and having a dd playing softball don’t mix during boom time. I miss all the good posting. I think this is going to be a great weekend for softball down here in STX. The weather has been great, expect some big winds. The field in 12U is STRONG! I expect the Force and TPS in the ship but being a blind draw some teams could easily slip up and find themselves in the loser’s bracket early. 14U I see the ACES and TPS in the championship. I think Storm Elite is going to have an off weekend. Good luck to all our traveling friends, be safe and sorry about the gas prices yall, I have to be able to pay for my yachts.

22-s dad, glad to know you work in the oil business. I elect you to foot the bill for the remainder of the Force season. I want a really nice hotel in Montgomery, preferably with nice pool, hot tubs and a really nice grassy area for us to set up our washer boards. ha
