Silverbacks

Posted by CC on June 7, 2022, 9:08 am

Watched the condensed game between them and Ressy last night. I am a Ressy fan and glad to see Travis back. HOLY F those Silevrbacks were flying around and had speed for days, infielders were out for blood. I will definitely be watching them and be a fan. Great performance, seems like they play the game right too. Didn't see any attitudes or anything just str8 hustle. Enjoyed watching them play great show fellas.

Their infielders laid out and nearly got to everything it felt like, sliding around on the turf. I was like what the hell is going on.

There are a few players in the Conference you can visibly see they want every ball hit to them, doesn't matter if its Harvey hitting or Bubba Mack, they want the ball hit to them.

Mcclanahan comes to mind, Joel Sanchez, there are a few others. But it seems like the entire Silverbacks team thinks like this. They all want that hard shot hit to them and they have the confidence that they will make a great play.

That Topeka league could be the best league in the nation.
Lotta talent, some of which never play outside of Topeka.

Best League's ever were Liberty Park Michigan where multiple league teams won AA/A Usssa worlds and Cali Twin Creeks where Glass/Valve and Won A/B Worlds in the same year. Just saying

I think he was saying leagues today.

Cleveland had a premier league on the west side in Parma that had 6 'A' teams in 1990 and Medina Body Shop won the ASA 'A' in 1992 and Laborers 310 finished 2nd to Vernons at the ASA 'A' in 1990.

Both were league teams there.

ummmm, wow. the first word that comes to mind is refreshing. i hate to play old school guy on here (as i'm really not) but the silverbacks play the game pretty much exactly as it was intended.

one thing i noticed is that there are ZERO fat guys on their team lol...hell, each one of these guys look like one another (must be the amish culture).

their defense is plain stooopid...at least it was in the condensed game against resmondo that i just watched. the play the silverbacks SS made...WHAT?!?! one of the absolute best stabs u will ever see.

each one of these guys appear to be on the exact same page. corny, sure, but that was beautiful to watch.

You should see them practice. Full on swings at each other in dirt/fields. Like legit horse fields. They go all out for everything and learn the game at such a young age, it’s just natural to them. Softball is their baseball growing up so there is no transition

They have no bad habits or ego related plays “ off”. They stay in every play and execute solid fundamentals. Can’t teach hustle. Gap swings and constantly looking for extra bases. When they play higher level teams it’s almost like they shift gears with a point to prove and the almost hustle more. Very impressive

Yes DW. I was talking about today. I know of some solid leagues in the Michigan, Ohio areas back in the day.
