The fact is, the core of DBAT's team has been together for three years and has won more big games than any team in town.
The Dodgers caught DBAT this year when they were down. In the first league game they played (a 4-3 Dodger win), DBAT had just completed going 7-0 at Burkburnett including having played three games and a total of 24 innings on Monday and then turned around to play a league doubleheader on Wed. You crowed about it then and I made no comment. But really... a BBI league game? Big deal.
At the Regional Qualifier DBAT was depleted after losing their top lefthanded pitcher and outfielder to injury at the TCU showcase. Add to all of this the fact that DBAT lost their outstanding shortstop at the opening of the summer to a shoulder injury and it is remarkable that they are 38-8-2 for the season having won Burkburnett, the TCU Showcase and the Keller state tournament.
Aside from the McKinney win this past weekend, what tournaments have the Dodgers won?
With all of that said --- the Dodgers are a good team and may very well win in Houston. I know many of their players and they are fine young men and good ballplayers. But they do not need you building them up by tearing down DBAT --- a team that has built a remarkable 3-year record of 134-39-6.
