Because you cant just bump the teams that are finishing tournaments. There are about a dozen teams that qualify to be bumped, but bumping a 5th of the division mid-season isn't right either.

TXR - 40-5
Air Performance - 46-10
Diamond Sports - 51-12
Oilers - 50-14
Baseball Washouts - 46-13
Maniacs/Most Hated - 51-22
Advocare/Proway Ext - 50-21
Mash - 19-3
Untouchables/Buzini - 27/-12

Its not that ONE team is winning every tournament, but that the division just so happens to be top heavy this year. 2 of those 9 teams could realistically compete in C with their current roster. They'll all be bumped and probably 5-6 of them will stay together and go play C then it will be other teams turn next year to be in the group of 8-10 at the top of the D division.

I turn all my Championship and finalist shirts into goodwill off Abrams. I can have them hold them for you if that's the case.

D is the weakest its ever been...

You have maybe 3-4 teams that have won every tourney this year. And when they lose, they lose to each other.
And most of these teams have their 3 bumps, plus guys who have played the system and got re classified to D. Not too mention playing illegal in several tourneys.
None of these teams would be at top of C with current roster. May win a few games in tourneys, but that's it

The top 6 teams in d can go and win c tournaments with out a doubt. C is the weakest it's ever been. Not D

If you really think that any of those teams could beat the best C teams this year then you are sorely mistaken. I'm sure every once in a while they could take a game or two from the best, but overall they would not be nearly as competitive unless they picked up players.

100% true. Look at the open and nit and tourneys where C/D were combined. C won those tourneys, not D teams. Only one of those D teams mentioned earlier has a winning record against C this year. With a minimum of 10 games against C teams. Untouchables is 10-7. And that team is over half of former C players.Advocare is 5-9. Oilers 5-5. And neither has won a C tourney this year

Rosenberg Bulls : 6-1 vs D teams lost to Washouts

BTX : 10-4 vs D teams lost to Oilers and Chop city

Jokers: 2-1 vs D teams lost to untouchables

Old School : 6-1 vs D teams lost to Habit

The B Team : 5-0 vs D teams

Thats 29-7 vs D teams and thats not even all the teams in C that are good.

Do I need to keep going?

why does it matter. if you are sandbagging you know who you are then you need to play up you will never get better unless you play the better teams in higher classes. at the end of day if you are satisfied with being mediocre then dont point out others who are doing what you are doing SANDBAGGING.....

Top 10 C teams on Lone star Rankings are a combined 51-19 vs D this year. That doesn't even include Fat Pats who is 15-2 vs D and Playa Haters are 7-1....

No doubt...If any of too D teams keep same rosters for next year, they will get dominated. Above stats prove it.

Its funny that you guys are sitting here bashing the D teams who have done well this year saying they cant compete in C. In a couple months when teams get bumped and these D teams break up and don't play up you will be in here crying about the same 5 C teams playing each other every weekend. Its just slowpitch softball and you only play C...calm down Big Tyne.

So then why are you complaining??? If you wanna get better then you also have to play the best D teams! So your argument is invalid. Always find something to complain about to play ball and go take some BP or go play church league where you will be the All Star

I was simply disproving a post from earlier that stated there are D teams that could move to C right now and win C tournaments. I was in no way bashing any D teams. As a matter of fact I have many friends who play on those D teams and respect them all equally.

Stats are something that guys like you keep that couldn't make those stats happen or get the chance happen when it actually counted. It's softball weiner haha did your mom paint your walls team colors after you got signed to your huge contract this year 😂

I don't understand what all the hostility is...... Honestly just trying to point out facts. When C teams have played D teams they literally won 84% of the time. I mean how can you argue against that? It's facts. Like I said I have no animosity towards D teams, nor do I think they couldn't beat C teams.

Posted by what can happen on June 28, 2016, 5:37 pm, in reply to "Re: Bump?"

what can happen is those top d that will get bumped now have an outlet to let go of some players and pick a some new ones to compete... and even in some cases make for a strong team.. 3-4 guys in the starting lineup def can change a top d team to a very competitive c team once bumped..
