[airmex45]

[spress]

rainout 513-588-9368 i know they have been working on the fields since ab out 430 or 5 this morn. good luck to you asa c guys. that is our home park and i have been there all week helping out on the fields they will be ready but there will be mud. field 3 will be the best one.

[airmex45]

so far like a 6 hr delay... let the bashing begin...... im sure they will cancel and other parks will play, way to step up to the plate............................................

[Synergy_Slugger]

CANCELED!!!

[BackstabberSS]

Maybe Bill and the boys will consider including Expressway in the mix next year.... They'd be playing today.... especially since its an NIT

[airmex45]

are all parks in ohio still playing????? maybe move the tourney to a GOOD park and start play this evening....... nice job huddy!!!!!!!! i guess this was expected though....

[jkhr22]

all 5 fields playing at riverstar

[tdubs313]

I believe Kolping Park is available also. Oh well, there's plenty of others to play this year.

[kg4343]

Not even really sure what to say about this. So much for the "play in any conditions mentality" that I referenced in a previous thread. Gee, Huddy Park.... Never could have seen this coming (note EXTREME sarcasm)......

[BackstabberSS]

Cancelled on Saturday with a perfect Sunday forecast....nice. Sweet black eye for the Bash. Odds on whether Huddy is included next year?

[airmex45]

has it even rained 2day??? ground looks dry at my house. you think they would have had us atleast get it started 2day, doubt it will get done in 1 day. last year it sucked at rivershore but they atleast played and people at huddy are so awful and lazy couldnt get fields ready.... bill did a great job getting riverstar ready last night and 2day, hopefully next year he wont use sorry ass huddy..........

[bwoods21]

all 5 fields playing at riverstar

Every field at Eggleston, Riverstar, Pastime and Rumpke is playing but Huddy, that's why I questioned holding the C NIT there in the first place...It's definitely a shame that the C NIT didn't play a single game this weekend!!!

[YoungGuns]

Eggleston fields today were in decent shape for all things considered weather wise...

[BackstabberSS]

Its hard to get the fields ready in Taylor Mill, KY when you are hanging out in Harrison, OH watching the Renegades....oops. That would take some really long rakes...

[YoungGuns]

Eggleston was only playing on three fields, but only two of them were decent when we left at 3.

Well why dont you get your butt down here and help get the parks ready. mr harris should come to. we were ar huddy all night and all morning trying to get it ready. the park dosent drain well or should i say at all. only 1 field would have been playable. Oh and i do play for the renegades too. We were there to try to let you crybabies play. the only park that has been playing all day is riverstar from what i am told. we were at pastime and got rained out too.

Why don't PLAYERS come down and help the PARK get ready????? Are you even freakin' serious????? Gee, isn't that why teams pay good $$$ for tourney and league entry fees?????? It is the PARK'S responsibility to maintain fields (especially in a tourney of this magnitude). Should I have to cut the fairways and greens before I play at the local golf course? Should I have to plow the runways at CVG if I've bought a plane ticket for a snowy day????

It's called good business!!! And yes softball parks are a business! It's no shock that people were on this board BEFORE this weekend questioning Huddy's ability to prepare their fields. CLEARLY, their track record speaks for itself.....

Well to start with you didn't want to play there and two if you would've played b/c the fields would have been horrible if you would've played so it was a no win situation an d oh yeah Harris Donny showed up after the c nit had already been cancelled. So play in the C nit next week and quit your bitchin.

[renegades26]

well the way i see it huddy was in a lose. lose situation either play on **** and someone get hurt then listen to every one bitch cuz the fields suck or dont play at all TODAY and try it tomorrow. and harris you would have been the first person on every board in cincinatti, ky, michigan, tennessee and any other board to complain.. hey they did the best they could do thats it.. maybe not good enough for you but you dont know how hard and long they worked!! and one more thing, your right it is a buisness dont you think they want to make their money too... just my opinion not trying to single anyone person out, not even harris

[stallings18]

Seriously, If you would have been able to play on friday they were playable.. For the People who know huddy, It is diffrent then other parks being its in the middle of 2 huge hills. All the water on the Hills run off and collect on the infields. That isn't huddy's fault.. Blame who you want to.. But Mother Nature took its toll. I can say they were up @ huddy Till Midnight last night and back there at 5AM to 11 AM today.. The reason Renegades Help out on the fields, Is because Donny is the head coach and ask if anyone can help or Wants too. His son's are all on the team. Renegades didn't play until 12 today..So that wasn't the issue. He planned on missing the 1st game anyways. Getting the C NIT going..He has an Assistant Manager that works also.. Now you all get to play at Riverstar Next week.. I am sure you will be happy with that.
It didn't rain at riverstar this morning or all day, However Pastime was 3 hrs behind at the beginning and now another 4-5 hrs behind. We have to call at 8 to see if we can play our 4:30 game tonight. If not they are all pushed back till tomorrow. I heard eggleston is using only 3 fields being 2 are under water.. I don't know the conditions of the fields though.. Pastime was sloppy to start.. But playable until it started raining again.. Nasty Boys Beat Extreme in the 3:30 game in the worst conditions possible during the rain.. Ask extreme if they should have been playing.. I am sure everywhere had issues except Riverstar if it didn't rain.

[beenaround77]

so this tourney will be EASTER!!!!! weekend right?

[slamit93]

but everywhere else played...

[BackstabberSS]

We make a schedule before the season starts because we have LIVES. This tourney will more than likely be a washout for us because of this... See you guys in freaking April.

[youngster]

rumpke used all of the fields today. We were on #1 all day and it was pretty bad but better than expected. The other fields were in better shape, i thought the crew there did a very good job considering the circumstances.

[kg4343]

Is the plan REALLY to reschedule for next weekend?? Or is that just a rumor? I'm really hoping it's just a rumor.......

[YoungGuns]

you obviously werent at rumpke about 8pm then b/c they are still playing and there is shin high mud...

[airmex45]

this tourney will be held at riverstar next weekend. thats the only reason my team is gonna play. next year if the c nit is held at a ky park i bet none of the teams get n it. sucks for the teams that came from out of town and waste $ on hotels for nothing.. atleast some people played 2day, not an all out lose for this tourney.... good luck 2 whoever gets in this next weekend, hope the weather is better........

[bellamy]

I am very disappointed in the way the bash was delt with this year. Everyone knows that its never 85 and sunny in the middle of march. I agree that Bill did a great job with riverstar but disagree with putting U Trip C on one of the worst parks in the city. This isnt just some 3 game round robin teams pay almost three hundred bucks for this. I wouldnt be so upset with the situation if everyone got canceled but for the simple fact that even though he worked on the fields all night he shouldnt have been at pastime. Instead he should have been working on the fields to at least try to get something going tomorrow. I feel the worst for the out of town teams that came all the way here to find out everyone else is playing but them. It really puts a black eye on cincinnati softball to the outsiders.

[bigwill17]

eggeleston field were a sloppy mess

[LittleLeager24]

you obviously werent at rumpke about 8pm then b/c they are still playing and there is shin high mud...

Yes Rumpke was a mess but they couldnt do anything about it. It got even worse when the rain came and the games kept playing. The whole field looked like a lake. To be honest it wasnt fun at all to be cold in a big swamp. But to all the C teams I understand why to be upset about this due to other tournaments you schedule to get in.

[mt5ss]

Apparently none of you were at Riverstar at anytime today either. We did play all day with only about a 40 min rain stoppage, but it sprinkled/rained for 2 1/2 hours straight and all 5 diamonds played through all but 40 min. Over ankle deep mud with puddles everywhere. I am not complaining by any means because more than once the managers were approached and asked if we wanted to continue. We the players are the idiots that made the choice to play in the horrible conditions. Huddy was in a lose/lose situation. Play in slop and rain and get complaints or cancel it and get complaints.

[stallings18]

Harris of all people, I would have figured you would understand what happened. So what happened if it poured all day saturday and the tournament got cancelled this weekend and decided since there are 34 Teams that we will have it Next week. Your Team will be there and So will the other 30-33 teams depending if they are from out of town or not.. And they might come down also.
Maybe people aren't understanding and keep hounding Donny about being at Pastime AFTER they cancelled the tourny.. Could you have played today."Sunday". Yeah.. but you want to hear some bitching... Have teams play 275.00 to play a 1 pitch/ 1 and OUT tounament format.. Being thats the only way 34 teams could have played today. I think this was the best choice for the tournament.. Huddy's Fields are 20x's worst than any field playing right now due to where they are located.. They aren't on flat ground with nothing around them.. they are between 2 Huge hills and whatever water they collect runs off onto the fields. The outfield are swamps right now on field 1 and there is about 8 inches of Mud and slop in the infield.. 300 Bags of staydry couldn't fix that.. People are going to complain but still continue to play.. Get over it.. The best was done to get The C NIT in.. Believe me, JLC wanted to wax your Ass.. LOL

These pics are from Rumpke.. Pastime was the same if not worst.. Huddy wouldn't even be close due to the water.. Would you want to play in this Mike!! Or would you Bitch and Gripe about the Field conditions??

Nice way to get a player hurt before April! I would have been trying to get out of playing on that mess and getting a refund. I know they want to get this in but DAMN!!

[BackstabberSS]

We played in the same stuff at Rivershore last year. Its the Bash Stallings... Did those hills appear at Huddy overnight? As long as that park has been there, they should have come up with a plan to overcome the hills...

[BackstabberSS]

Isn't it funny how criticism causes people to come up with excuses and get defensive rather than take accountability for not being able to handle the situation.

[BackstabberSS]

Here's the deal. From the time it was announced that the C NIT was being played at Huddy, people started complaining and predicting that this is exactly what would happen. I

If you will remember, I put a post up pulling for Huddy to get it done right and prove everyone wrong. I LOVE seeing critics proven wrong and I truly was pulling for Huddy to do it.

In the end, the critics and their predictions were correct, every other park played, and I am sitting on my butt looking out the window at sunshine on a Sunday.

By the way, I have no issues with a man that wants to watch his kid play. Lord knows if we had more fathers like that, it would be a better world, BUT make sure your crew is getting the job done for your business while you are gone.

Truth be told, I am just bitter that we have to wait till the last weekend in March to start the season.

[tdubs313]

Guys, It's just softball! Get over it, play next week if it means that much to you. I'd rather play on a field that is in decent shape instead of a mud puddle. Good call to cancel it if the fields were not in shape to play. So now everyone has something to look forward to next weekend. Who knows, maybe it will get warmer and be dry. We all know that Cincinnati weather changes by the hour.

[BREW 11]

one of the pics above is from our game and would have loved to be cancelled rather than play in 4" of mud. Only to find out this morning that the bottom half got cancelled and we paid 300 for a 3 game round robin. Good enough to play on to take our money then not good enough 8 hours later? Thats good business.

Rumpke made enough money yesterday to just cancel us today and not chance a injury or anything. Believe me im pissed about it being cancelled but it was gonna be just like it was yesterday.

i was standing there with Steve C. watching most of your guys game...i am a softball WHORE ill play anywhere any time played 6 nights a week last year i sat there and told my fiance if i was on a team playing in this LITERALLY i would have walked off the field and quit

[beenaround77]

the only problem i have is it is now easter weekend!!! Now it just might be be but i go out of town on easter and i spend it with my family. like i said it might not be a big deal to anyone but it sucks for me. good luck to everyone this weekend while im doin easter eggs!!!!

[youngster]

The flyer for the tournament says a four game MINIMUM so i was wondering if any money would be given back to the people who didn't get to play today in the single elimination. It really pisses me off that we play three games yesterday in that mess only to not get to play today when its somewhat nice out.

yea the team from michigan i played with was curious as well

[stallings18]

I suggest several Coach's Managers call Wessel.. Because I heard today from some people over Pastime that they aren't giving any money back.. Not even to the C-NIT teams that can't make it next week.. That's a Joke if true..

[stallings18]

I'm not getting defensive, Just telling the facts. Yes they knew the Hills were there, Yes they knew it was going to rain.. Yes they prepared for it... Yes they could have played in the same or worst conditions as last night and today.. Yes you would have played 1 pitch and 1 and out.. Would you complain about that??? I'd say yes! Facts is they did the best with what they had, And either way playing or Not Mike you'd still be on the computer complaining. You seen the pictures of the "GOOD SPORTPARKS" would you have rather played in that?? Or try to play next week.. Straight answer Mike.. Yes or No?? and If you did play would you complain about the conditions?

Time out!! This better not be true!!

[bombsaway]

so what teams will be in the bash this weekend for c? will they re due the brackets??

[youngster]

If they don't give money back, we should at least get like a park credit thing which we can use toward another tourny. I am very dissapointed that they refused to pick up the phones today, if your going to kick out half of the teams and not give any money back, at least have the balls to say it to the managers instead of ducking phone calls.

[backstabber13]

everyone relax.... you can get your money back... this board would be a lot better place if everyone would verify information before getting all worked up...

Nope. You wouldn't have heard a complaint from me. With the weather that we had from the snow to the rain, I would not have complained if we had only been given the option of whether to play or not... Seeing as how everyone else did. I only complain when it is warranted. I will get on here and praise parks when they run a great tournament and praise a team when they play well. If nobody ever complained when something was done poorly, nothing would ever change... Its the good parks that see this stuff and react accordingly.

I have seen a post or two when you gave praise.. But last year you complained about the field.. In which they were horrible, But so was these. So you have to take the good with the bad.. they tried and If they would have played.. It might not have been you, But someone would be on here complaining about playing in slop. Good luck this week. I hope everyone has great weather and does well!!

[BackstabberSS]

Hoping for sunny and 65 the weekend after Easter for our debut... I am over it now.

You guys are out of the Bash?

[Me2]

Girls stop fighting then kiss and make up!!!

[BackstabberSS]

We are out. Many with family obligations etc...

[JDizzle21]

Yeah we have become a family oriented team now....... Which pretty much means our wives create our softball schedule. So when Harris says he wouldnt have complained about playing I am thinking he wasnt lying. It is a day without changing diapers and the dreadful "Honey-Do-List." That is worth 2 feet of mud to get out of that.

[BackstabberSS]

No doubt!
