    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    The Tryout Roster that you submit is the method to get temporary coverage on those players while participating in Legion activities until the roster is set. Unfortunately, the "national deadline" is the first league game. It needs to change and written clearly when amended. Believe the first...

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    Actually it is a National rule. I communicated with National leadership after I met them in 2010. They wanted to occasionally reach out to me for a coaches perspective on upcoming rule changes and proposed amendments to current rules. As stated earlier, things could have changed as I’ve been out...

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    Unless they changed it, the roster must be set to 18 by the first league game. This is the biggest obstacle to Legion Baseball. With high school playoffs running into June 9ish window some years, try to make that work.

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    Since when do you hold a tryout for a skills camp? The tryout was 3/30/2014. Guess the showcase label on the website is a typo.

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    We always told our kids before we offered them a spot on the team what being part of the team meant in many aspects which included dual participation. Since my guys honored the rule I guess I should just ignore it when other teams break it. That’s teaching them how to fight for your guys...

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    Here are the facts aka the truth. Trejo, their “7th best player” hit 3rd for them in game 1 & 2, 4th in game 3 & 4, and didn’t play in game 5 against us (Kernersville). Was told during BP that he was at a combine and not sure if he would be at the game. After figuring out that he was possibly...

    The pairings for the N.C. Junior State tournament at Cherryville’s Fraley Field:

    I agree that the best option is for the winners bracket winner to go to championship day to be beaten twice. From memory as I don’t have a bracket in front of me, believe it adds a day to the tournament. Legion pays for hotel rooms so there is the pushback. My reply was not about the decision on...

    2023 NCAL Baseball State Tournament

    We should know the pairings for the next 100 years. Should be set with an ongoing rotation that repeats itself. No judgement needed and therefore no chance of bias. I’ll go ahead and cover the excuse to not do this. If a different Area hosts other than the scheduled Area, just change the game...

    If that game costs you the championship, then you might want to reconsider your strategy.

    2023 NCAL Baseball Rankings

    Good to see some teams still getting high numbers of games in a season. The kids get so much better playing games and for something other than the guy in the mirror. Love to still see an environment where kids can thrive.

    American Legion Baseball 2023 Area III teams

    I believe in supporting publicly in order to criticize privately; however, Legion management has failed locally and nationally lately. It’s been a downhill spiral since Jim Quinlan stepped down as National Commander. He knew that rules are important but too many rules hurt players which...

    Hough at Grimsley - 4th Round

    Grimsley must slow down Hough’s D-line to have a chance to implement some plays to establish multi level threats. Better get some designed rollouts and short passes to extend the run game if you can slow down the edge rush. Going to be a long night if you can’t get Hough’s D-line slowed down...

    Hough at East Forsyth

    These are kids with less experience than the kids that played in colleges games yesterday. 100% agree with the approach to play the hardest competitive possible to be tested and prepared; however, it is not everyone’s approach. Clemson does the exact same thing with scheduling weaker at the...

    Hough at East Forsyth

    Not sure what the stats will look like for him, but EF not having an answer for Hough DE #2 was the difference in the game. Kid was in the backfield way too quickly. He disrupted the offense for EF all night.

    Yeah…but he moves in an entirely different gear. He’s the real deal.

    Paid Off

    Certainly there can be easier paths, but I would prefer my team to get in a dog fight early and maintain that mindset throughout the playoffs. An easy path for a game or two and then a big test can be a great catalyst for nerves. Battle tested teams & programs that have an edge before the coin...

    2022 NC American Legion State Tournament

    Oh yeah….the rules should carry the same weight for those administering them as well as those following them. There are some dark shady crap that has transpired in the past, but thankfully for the welfare of the organization, those situations no longer exist.
