    Default Epic Rant From Robe

    This is good. Robe's presser yesterday. Goes off on travel ball around the 12:00 mark.

    I wouldn't blame travel ball as a whole. I guess I was blessed to play on a select team where you put the team first and parents were parents, and nothing else. We didn't make the grades in school, we didn't play. Someone was better than us, that someone played over us. You decided to act the _____ on or off the field, you sat the bench and cheered for your team. Travel ball is a great experience and a great thing for kids to get them ready for the next level (high school)...if you can find a team like I mentioned above. Find a coach that knows baseball and won't put up with any of that "travel ball" bs.

    I agree and Robe said "The playing part is fine." The extracurricular daddyball drama and such can a distraction. There are plenty of quality scout team programs that provide exposure and experience "playing up" against the best high school players in the country, without drama.

    There are some clown shows out there. It is easy to tell the difference, though.

    Little Bicky played travel ball last year and Robes son and twin brother were his coaches. I thought it was a very good experience for Junior.

    Spot on. I'm sure this team gotten that rant already.

    The refiners coach called out the system a year or so ago. Had players TELLING him what position they WERE playing.

    Sitting a kid on the bench all year seems like a great way to get that kid to lose interest in baseball.

    Sounds like the kid needs to get off the ipad and get in the yard and practice.....

    That's the problem. Too many levels and organizations with "travel ball" or "all star" teams. Everyone gets trophies.

    And you think sitting that kid on the bench is the best way to motivate him to pick baseball over his iPad?

    No, but you obviously think he deserves to play by just walking into the dugout. Of course he's going to choose the ipad, its easy and he controls his "playing time"...baseball must be a little too much work to earn his spot. The new America, everybodys a winner!
