HS baseball.....yawnnnnn!

I am a little worried about our social lives...

There are way too many people hanging out here on a Saturday night!

(sorry PD, back to your topic)

PD,

I will be there tomorrow to see the evil blue. I will look you up.

DBAT 3-way scrimmage today at Green Hill should be very interesting. A few college and pro scouts are hanging out as well. Heard a few scouts are leaving the Regionals to come and see a few 18U pitchers today. I also heard tychco may be hanging out in a tree somewhere reporting for the blue.

See you both there Tychco and SWAC! Better bring some sunblock!!

SWAC,
Blah, Blah, Blah about the scouts and the coaches.

Just make sure you stay out of the dugout and you are wearing the correct attire. I will have my own scouts out there watching you and making sure you are not out there "Running for Mayor"...

Get a chair, sit in it, and shhhhhhhhh...Enjoy what you and the guys built...

Once again. shhhhhhh

Your pal, catch

SWAC was there all right. He had a strike zone the size of Texas...LOL (although he was behind the pitcher, sans the chair).

Then there was another guy calling (same location) and he used his wife's paper towel holder as a strike zone guide ...LOL


Lot's of blue, and white, and black and very, very fast balls flying around today; and that was just the dads.

I'd venture to say the scouts were impressed with their 18's.

Great day, despite the heat. Greenhill has improved their fan facilities since the last time I was there. Great shade!

That's going to be the hard part

SWAC,

I was hanging around, but I am too old and fat to climb a tree.

Good looking group of boys...should be a fun and competitive summer.

Don't let collikar get after your strike zone...at least half of those called strikes were within 6 inches of the plate...

You just wanted to get them swinging the bats.

Hmmmmm....

Tycho, you are right you couldn't climb a tree.
Great game Sunday - Dave Ostroffs Marshalls team and Zach Randles Mustangs team played 8 innings and the Mustangs pulled it out 2-1. Great teams, well coached and you know who would own tycho jr. if he was at the plate.

Collikar it was a long hot day; 6 inches off the plate is really too tight. Maybe a foot or more would have been good.

Was Catcher around in a long sleeve shirt and blue jeans?

Marshalls and Mustangs... Great game and two evenly matched teams. Mustangs won but this game could have gone on for days tied up... lol

Great pitching job by Cameron White. He is talented, despite his paternal DNA.

Tychco... good thing Cameron got his talent from mom's side of family. If he had dad's DNA he couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time... lol

CW threw 118 pitches and was throwing harder at the end of the game. Maybe a few too many but he has incredible mechanics.

Maverick:

Wow 118/with incredible mechanics....he must have had a good pitching coach!

Have a great summer....we will miss you all and the pit stops along the way.

Good Luck from the Goldbergs!

Today in sports.....DBAT 18 defeated Mustangs 18 on a no-hitter by James Foster, 2-0. Both teams were missing important players but #29 did a great job on the hill as did the Mustangs' Picca. The DBAT offense was held in check with the only runs coming on a 2-run HR by Plano East's Justin Snider. It was a tight game from start to finish. The 'Stangs have a great lineup. It was nice to see Jack Giese back in town, unquestionably one of the top debaters in Texas baseball. He's a master -- winning his sole argument against a terribly over-matched ump.

In the nightcap, the Marshals 17 hammered DBAT 18 -- with Corey Brooks throwing a 1-hit gem, finishing with 6 consecutive K. This is a very good Marshals group, with good coaching and a strong lineup. (and Daniel Jordan owns PS III ). There should be great battles between these Marshals and Rusty's evil blue.

More baseball tomorrow.

Oh -- and a very poor umpiring crew for both games today. ***shrug*** <-- no impact on the outcomes

PD,
It's nice to know you can be owned and still sign with a D1 as impressive as Mizzou!

Congrats to Foster on his no-no!

The "Evil Blue" fared well today. Hopefully, it'll continue tomorrow.

PD - I have a trivia question for you....what do the 3 outstanding pitchers you mentioned have in common?

They've all been coached by the famous Jack Sharp? (that's a stab in the dark)

Nope - They all come from HS teams that play in little 'ole TAPPS Athletics.

(Congrats to James Foster! Wofford is getting a great competitor!)

Second the congrat's to James Foster, he was outstanding. TCA beat Nolan again!

Mustangs beat the Marshalls 17 in the middle game 6-1. Michael Choice UTA Freshman All American had a double and HR. Michael never stops impressing, I can see him becoming the next Hunter Pence for UTA.

I thought that too.

PD
Man if you are complaining about the blue it must have been ugly

CU -- I really have tried over the years to view umpiring as a difficult job -- and to give the guys the benefit of the doubt. But when a crew doesn't know the rules, can't confer with each other, are easily swayed by coaches complaints, can't remember the outs in an inning or the count.......'nuff said -- I am not even mentioning the zone. Hey, they aren't losing sleep over my opinion.....I won't lose sleep over their ineptitude.

PD definitely has (had) a point with the umpiring. One of the most frustrating I found in that game was figuring out if he was "strike" or not. And the field guy was slightly too... umm... I'll stop.

SAT alert! Nice usage. Unfortunately, they probably wont know what it means.

Collikar,

Dont be surprised. I think PD is just trying to be grandiloquent.

Ok PD I like Sharp but don't go overboard
He is one of my favorite coaches.

LOL - Not a chance; however, I do feel the IQ of the boards elevating as we literate.

Naw, it ain't.

A premature evaluation no doubt.

Precocious conjecture to be sure.

Mustangs Randal defeated McKinney Marshalls 17u
5-1 but closer game than the score indicated. Wow... 2 talented groups... I could watch them go at it every night.

Marshals has one 'L"....
