Hopefully this season causes the SOC to examine its bylaws and address issues where teams refuse to play games when the home field is in playing condition. Since the league title wasn’t in jeopardy it would have been nice to see Clay pitch their #3 pitcher as they would have needed to 2 weeks ago to see how this may have played out. Sadly that didn’t happen so the world will never know.

Yes, but that's not what baseball is about. You have to manage your schedule as best as you can and in my opinion, Clay ducked ISJ because the pitching didn't line up 2 weeks ago. Does Clay win the league outright? Yes. I just feel that Mr. Rose and Coach Cottle took advantage of the rules and just chose not to play a game in which they may have been at a disadvantage.

Congrats to Clay's players on being the best team in SOC 1 this year. Shame on Mr. Rose, Coach Cottle and the SOC for allowing Clay to manipulate a rule (or lack of a rule) that allowed a visiting team to just refuse to play a game because their pitching didn't line up and the weather forecast offered them an excuse.

A good example (in my opinion) of trying to manipulate your schedule is exactly what your coach/AD did. He scheduled all of his tough league games late in the year. I assume hoping he would be 16-2, 17-1 something like that going in to the tournament voting and get an unearned really high seed.

The other thing he did, and it must make him feel really stupid now, is he scheduled the top two teams in the League back to back a week a part. He scheduled Clay two nights in a row one week and Symmes two nights in a row the next week. I can only assume he thinks he has more pitching than everybody else in the league. Nothing else would make sense in doing that. It is well known that your coach/AD tried to manipulate the schedule to his advantage, but the other coaches who vote weren't fooled and you get the 8 seed.

I hope Mr. AD/Coach learned from that and will schedule games differently next season instead of trying to manipulate the system.


Good day sir. And best of luck to you in the tournament. ISJ is a realy good team and I think can be win a game or two next week. Your coach/AD cost you some games this season by his scheduling tactics. It must be nice to be the AD and baseball coach. The rest of our coaches have to take the schedule the AD gives them. Not make their own.

ADs don’t create their own league schedule

This is one of the worst posts I’ve ever read on here, so congratulations I guess.
