Don't tell me that if Flower Mound gets by Duncanville they would play the Train Cowboys.
Anybody on this board interested in that match up?

Who decided on the one game format for the FM-Duncanville game?
You are Correct. A one game series FM does not stand a chance. Well, I will give them a slight chance...it could rain the entire week and FM may win the coin toss to advance but that is the only way.
FM needs to get by Duncanville though.....I hope FM wins that game. I look forward meeting some of you

KD:
I am assuming FM went with the one game since the game is played at Duncanville BUT maybe FM is lacking pitching for a 3 game series?
I have seen only 2 pitchers all year by FM at least thats what their web box scores shows.

I heard from one of the FM players that the Duncanville coach wanted a one game playoff while the FM coach wanted a best of 3 playoff. Since the two coaches could not agree on the format, a coin toss won by Duncanville decided the format.

Train - don't you folks in Coppell only have 2 pitchers? I only see 2 pitchers listed on your DMN stats.
BTW, welcome back...and I thought this was going to be a slow day for hsbaseball web....
Here we go!

Aren't you the one that started this thread?
.... very brave!
Concerning the FM - Duncanville series:
Duncanville won the coin toss and elected for one game. Obviously figured that there was no way to win 2 out of 3 from FM.
Duncanville won the 2nd coin toss for game location.
We will worry about Coppell and the choo-choo next week assuming we can pull out a win this week.

How are you ever going to win a playoff game when your 2, 3, & 4 hitters know how to bunt?
Vanlandingham,
We might try moving them down in the lineup to maybe 7, 8 or 9 so nobody questions our tactics. We are open to other suggestions as well.

Should be a good game. There is one intangible that you cannot rule out here, Coach Rombach. Personally, I think he is one of, if not the best, high school coach in the DFW area. I have a ton of respect for the man. Recently he has not had the talent base that was once there, but year in and year out they are fundamentally sound. They usually don't beat themselves.
Cheapseats....Did you miss me? I thought OBN was the only one that missed me.
I was under the weather but feeling better now.
H&U sorry to hear about the double flip loss one more and your out!

L.A. If you don't have something controversial to say, then say nothing at all. This is not Anderson Hall.
H&U...since your online...Can you tell us about the FM ejection against Marcus? OBN has not replied on another topic.
Is he eligible for this weeks one game showdown in Duncanville?

Train - glad to hear you are feeling better...yes, I missed your "Hot Sports Opinions" ... it was getting pretty boring around here with all the politically correct rhetoric.
Train,
Thats OK. Usually that's what happens when a team thinks it can't win a three game series against another team. I would expect the same from you guys next week, assuming FM can get by Duncanville. Especially if you have any input into the flip process.

H&U...we choose heads all the time with my two headed coin.
See you next week.
See you next week.
Thanks cheapseats....I was thinking of starting a sportradio talk show with guests OBN and H&U and all my other friends! 
Train,
We have been told that, yes he is eligible. Pretty much a BS action from the Umpire IMO, considering the circumstances, timing, inconsistant strike zone, game intensity, and everything else that went on.

Oh yeah, that should stir up the hornet nest!!!

I am not sure but I think.... NO! I know it takes more than "one" game to make a series! This would be considered a single game, not a series.
---"It is alive!"---
It can rain all week, won't bother us over here in Keller
H&U FM should be happy he is eligible.
I do not agree with you about "pretty much a BS action from the Umpire" anytime a kid gets tossed from an umpire its not the umps fault.
I was not there but of course the story continues to grow about how he was tossed. Next I will read he threw a bat at the ump!! Clear it up and let us know what happened if you don't mind.

I was at that game and it was the first base umpire that made the call. For all the games I have watched around the Metro and N Texas I can honestly say the umpires were only right 50% of the time
The Chief Umpire did nothing. He was avoiding eye contact with the player!
Train said....
Pretty much your modus operandi Choo Choo.

Thanks UPnIn....BUY what did he do to get tossed? I have not been told the actual event that led to his ejection.
Can you enlighten us?

Does Coppell High School offer any AP English courses?? The first base umpire did not like the player's demaenor after being called out. Did you not consult with your sub-varsity, injured with limited playing time, friend that plays at FM?
hehe --- he's baaaacccckkkk!
For the record, it wasn't Coach V that mentioned the "r-word" this time -- but his record was perfect this season when he did (2-2).
Actually, I expect Coppell to look for single-game series -- their pitching is no deeper than Flower Mound's.

UPnIn...I did consult with him but thought his story of course was different saying FM's TS used profanity and I did not believe it.
So why did he get tossed? Demaenor?? Tell us about the event.

Train,
I say let the story grow. That's how legends are made!
No bat throwing involved. In fact, I didn't even know it happened until midway thru the last half of the inning. Let's just say he questioned the strike zone.
Kind of odd that the first base umpire would make an ejection call in this case as he wasn't involved or anywhere near the incident. It should have been the homeplate umpire making that decision if there was a reason for one to be made IMO.

I wondered why the kid was only 3 for 5!!!

You are correct sir...really two coin tosses....format and venue.
Train,
For the record no profanity was used. If so, the homeplate umpire would have been the only one who could have heard it and would have been the one to make the call.
PD,
He should have been 3-4 with a walk. Thus the problem. But what do I know?

PD,
I've just realized that if I didn't put so much pressure on him to keep his stats up so he can keep his name on the DMN Leaderboard that this incident would not have happened.
Its not the umpires fault or the players fault. I am to blame!

Now you're beginning to see the big picture -- who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? The PE stats finally made it to the newspaper --- I'd gladly trade them for a series this weekend.
Hope it goes well for your guys. Duncanville is a solid group. Their #1 has had a nice season and Joe L. adds an additional dimension to their team.
With Duncanville in mind -- Congratulations to Brandon Fahey, who was promoted to the Orioles big club this week, filling in for the injured Tajada (did I speel that right?). Brandon played at Duncanville and UT and is the son of former major leaguer Bill Fahey. Brandon's brother coaches the Duncanville freshmen. <-- good people

Wow, take the morning off to do some "cleaning" and I miss out on all the fun
First off: A talkshow with only 3 people would work because KD is always letting everyone know how much I talk, if you have ever gotten one of my PM's/emails you know I can go on and on and on.......
Incident at game: First I heard of it was on this board....I missed it totally..........so I can't give you any insight on that.....I miss all the fun at the game......DARN.....too much talking again I imagine.
FM vs Duncanville Game(s): I couldn't hardly figure out the 3way tie in our district let alone this 1 game/3game/your house/my house situation. Why can't the UIL just take this all away as it is mess each year do we play 1 do we play 3, strategy.....and if you play 1 and lose then you have everyone MAD at you.................it is just a catch 22 and personally I think there shouldn't be a choice, UIL should just say everyone plays 1 game or 3 and take this out of the equation........
Train: will say it has been a bit dull around here without you, sorry it was an illness (aCHOO, aChoo) that kept you away....hope you are feeling better.......and NO I am not flirting I still prefer to fly than take the rails..........................

Thanks for clearing things up H&U. For the record one of your parents on your team told me things differently. I am glad he will be playing.
After next week he will have time to get ready for summerball cause we will need him. But who knows his summer may start this Friday instead on next!

Train,
Thanks, just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you hear unless it comes from somebody as honest and unbiased as me.
Concerning next week, if we are lucky enough to get by Duncanville this week, be thinking up a friendly wager we can make for next week to keep things interesting around here.
Nothing would make me happier than for our boys to send you home with your caboose dragging behind and winning something in the meantime. It certainly would make the summer very enjoyable.
