Wow, that seems like a huge PITA. We just do the same thing, but let the league do all the logistical stuff you have to manually do. That is pretty much exactly how our coach does league play so that's pretty cool. Lil SF bats toward the bottom and has gotten really unlucky with at bats so far this year. He has been on deck like 4 times when something has happened and he didn't get to hit. Tuesday night the storms in KC were coming in and i'll be honest, the 3 and 2 folks were pretty much waiting for a kid to get zapped before they cancelled the game. He was up and his DA friend got picked off ending the inning. He then got up and after the first pitch, they finally called the game. Coach had him bat at the top for the next game to get him and others more at bats. Even when coach does stuff like that we still kick the crap out of most teams in league play so I'm guessing if we are still on this team next year, we won't do league, but who knows. Tourneys can be brutal. I love it mostly, but its giving up a whole weekend so adding more will be tough.
It's not that big of a PITA and it's a very small tradeoff to being able to have complete control over our schedule. Date, Time, Location, Opponent, etc. I don't think a league would even be feasible for us. Also I don't know of any competitive spring/summer leagues in Omaha. All the leagues are just rec (which it sounds like maybe what your team is in since they're beating the doors off teams?). I know some of our peers will put together teams to play fall competitive leagues but we have too many kids playing football to make it work.
yeah, its def gotten to be more of a "rec" league as they've gotten older. Your situation sounds pretty good being able to play teams you know. No one is having any fun out there for an hour 45 when the other team is walking everyone. They do max 5 runs per inning but no run rule. So basically if you are up by 16 after the 4th, the game is over because the other team can't catch up. Those games suck ass. Its def not every game, but its getting more and more like that.

Hey SD. Do you guys do league play in Omaha? Right now we are doing league and 2 tournaments a month. I actually like league as its a little more laid back, but we are starting to get to the point where all the decent teams have left league play so we just kick the living crap out of everyone. They were talking about it last night as we were watching the other team kick the ball all over the place and walk almost everyone. Lil SF had 3 great at bats and was on base all three times so that was awesome, but other than that it kind of sucks. I guess this is a normal occurrence here around 10-11 years old and good teams just play tournaments every weekend.
My dad has basically bathed in roundup the entire time he has been alive and I grew up slopping it around from commercial sprayers and boom rigs and on a tank on a four wheeler I drove around and sprayed things with. Pops has the commercial license for the top grade stuff random farmers couldn’t buy off the rack too. My dad is in his upper 60s now and still no known roundup related diseases (about died a dozen other times from various things as documented in this blog) and so far I seem to not be dead. Really hoping that continues to be the case.Pretty sure it's Parkinson's not cancer....or both. My aunt and uncle who are full time farmers have Parkinson's.my grandpa used to have a giant tank of roundup on his 3 wheeler and one in a pickup and on days when there "wasn't as much to do" he drove around and round upp'd all his fence lines to keep cedar out!I ask this with all due respect and seriousness…did he die of cancer? Lot of those guys who were exposed to Roundup 24/7/365 have.
But they made good fence posts when there were no trees anywhere
They also had a giant tank of Roundup on the back of a three wheeler.
I assume they have a finite window to use them because they either arent safe for continuous useage or the drug companies know they will lose efficacy in prolonged settings or both.
My dad just sent me a picture of a tornado he could see from the back deck!
Also, attention SD. Is there anything better than the "scan lineup" feature in Gamechanger? My favorite thing is going up to the other team and they hand me a paper lineup. I'm like, i'm about to blow your rough ridin' mind pal.
