good for WV.... Too bad WV's Coach will throw zcracks arm out like he does everyone i mean heck when you strike out 16 and walk 8 boss your looking at 130 pitches. Stay hot in hurting arms Walker Valley. Oh by the way did Burrell, i believe that was his name, still have an arm after WV coach threw him 16 inn. in 3 days in the district tourny, or did he have to have it cut off due to pain? lol...

Slander? Bashing? I don't think so.... My only question was is it for the money or is it for the kids. Maybe you should read a little deeper into the subject. Summer ball has turned into a money making nightmare. But i will leave you money hogs alone and people that never played the game.

randyc1 there is no bashing of your beloved cyclones. I am sure your kid plays for them and takes lessons at their building and that is great. If i was to bash them i would say a lot more than this from the stories i have heard. So i am sorry if i hurt anyone's feelings but sometimes the truth hurts ... PROMOTE YOUR KIDS AT NO COST...................... Thats all i am saying

I am not making bad comments. My last post got deleted cause someone must have bashed them. My whole point was why has summer ball turned into a money thing? You talk about promoting kids, being a high school coach etc... However you say Chattanooga is behind which i disagree with totally. Let me ask you a question if you are a high school coach would you rather win or promote your kids? I would rather promote my kids at no charge, and promote all of them not just those that are better than others or talk down about kids. All i am saying is from what i heard the cyclones promote those kids who pay money to take lessons at their building, and do not promote the kids that do not cause they believe they are not working. I am sorry its a touchy subject, but summer ball should not be about money or talent it should be about teaching the kids the game of baseball not screaming at them when they do wrong like i have seen with the cyclones and other summer leagues......

what happened to my post

hate

Glock, i wish i could agree with you on love of the game my friend. However, I cannot. If you love the game you will promote all your kids no matter what at any cost. If he is a lawyer like you say then why charge people outrageous fees too play? I mean if i was a successful lawyer i would not charge any kids, who you do the same? High School baseball, summer baseball, and fall baseball are about promoting the player not charging an outrageous amount of money to play. I believe i would get more satisfaction spending my money on these young men to help them in life and as a player than charging them close to what East Cobb charges to play summer and fall. Its not as much about winning as it is teaching them to be role models and student athletes..

I agree greatwhite i wonder the same i feel like they sold out for the money and that is sad to hear considering they use to be the top team around. Maybe the talent has gone down hill? I personally believe its not the talent, its the lies and promises these young men get and it never holds true due to promoting favorites. Like i said i could be wrong its just things i have heard and it stinks to hear. Maybe things will change and somebody that knows what there doing will take over and bring back the good ole days of the cyclones. Looks like Glock is tied in with i guess Mr. Koontz who is the organizer cause it maybe the first post i have ever seen him back.

Correct i understand that but this was per game. It may have been 12 but i am sure it was 15 according to many people i have talked to and that is just outrageous do you not agree? I mean its bad when the parents pay so much money for the kids to play and then still have to pay that much per day. I believe a weekend pass was 35.

I used to remb. this organization being good but as of late i have heard nothing good about it. I keep hearing they (coaches) lie to the players about colleges looking at them and that its all about money and that they want to be East Cobb. I can say that many people i have talked to said the person who is over this organization charges 15 a person to get in a gate during the summer for his lousy tournaments they say, and basically uses it as a cash cow. Any how just wanted some thoughts on what people thought of this organization now...
