Heath 9 - 7 - 1
Centennial 2 - 7 - 1
Game was closer than the score, an untimly error led to 5 unearned runs in the second. Centennial pitcher Nelson was outstanding again, with 13 k's.

Chris Smith for CH pitched well striking out 9 in 6 innings. Wheels fell off when he came out of the game to start the 7th. Better game then the score indicated. Most of the damage was done in the top of 7th with 2 outs. Not sure why CH coach did not put their ace in to get final out before it got out of hand. (and yes, he was considering it since he had him warmed up and ready). I feel like these two teams are VERY EVENLY MATCHED. I think 6-5A is far superior to 5-5A.

I believe the CHS coach made a dumb decision in trying to close out a one run ball game with their starting catcher who already caught for 6 innings. How can you expect a kid whose been throwing the ball back to the pitcher and gunning kids out at 2nd have the stamina to go and throw off a mound. I think thats what lost CHS the game.

2-1 Red Oak wins a close one.

What I think is very odd are these coaches not starting their #1 in game 1.
McKinney Boyd: 16
Grand Prairie: 0
WP: Doug Ashby (5 IP, 0R, 3H, 6K, 0BB)
HR: Evan Williams, Doug Ashby, Tyler Neporadny
This was a completely dominant performance for Boyd in their first ever playoff game. Great job guys and let's do it again Saturday.

How about Colleyville and Flower Mound to start? Southlake is questionable too.
I'd say it worked out OK in game 1 for Flower Mound. Zak Adams is a pretty good one and he pitched brilliantly for the Jaguars in their game 1 win.
Who did Colleyville pitch? Not Kubitza?

Not Kabitza.
And yeah it did work out for FM but what if it didn't? FM could have thrown their #1 twice if needed in the series since game #1 was Tuesday. That coach is a little different though. Seen several hit & runs in odd situations.
What about Arlington Martin not throwing their guy?

If seeing is believing than yes. I know that kid and he generally can throw high 80's, top at 90 when he's fresh. He looked extrememly tired last night and didn't have his velocity or contol. So again, yes I really do believe this coaching error is what cost them the game.
And plus isn't the key to pitching effectively all in the legs? I'm pretty sure squatting for six innings didn't help the cause either.

The kid that Martin threw is a DBU signee so it's not exactly the backend of a rotation guy they threw out there. Martin is loaded with arms so they should be fine.
I see your point about FM and I agree with that. Of course, there are lots of coaches out there that look at Game 2 as the most important game of the series and that is why they throw #1 in that game...close them out or even it up!

But hasn't that kid been closing all year long? There is a lot to say about not fixing what's not broke. I understand your point about the legs being tired though, no doubt about that.

He's been doing it all year. And if he's so out of shape his arm can't handle 3 outs after a few throws down to 2b, well, not much to say. (Note: I don't think that's the case, just making a point.)

Then what do you propose was the case? Because he looked exhausted. If your the coach how would you have approached that inning?
I guess I would have gone with what has worked for me all year since my team was 27-3, #1 in the state, #5 in country going into my 1st round playoff series. Now is not the time to "trick things up."
Plus, who really knows what the thought process was in dugout among the head coach and his assistants? Only them.

Its going to be interest to see if Gill throughs either tonight or tomorrow, on account does FD really want to have his ace compete against Kabitza. This series could end up being a 3 gamer, with Marcus having their ace still left.
And one last thing, your team might be 27-5*, but I can recall one classic sport quote for you. "Your only as good as your last game".
My bad on the mistype of record. 27-4*
Flower Mound has been throwing Zak Adams on Tuesdays and Steven Bruce on Friday's all year long. I guess the coach felt it would be best to stay with the normal rotation. Flower Mound is deep in pitching with #3 starter Millard finishing the year undefeated. They also have a reliever who throws 90+ named Chessir. Not many programs have three guys who throw 90+ like FM. Plus O'Rear has been excellent as a closer and could start and go long if needed to do so.

I think Marcus wins regardless of the pitching scenario. I think Marcus will scrap for runs against Kabitza and Gil might win a head to head with him. If I were coaching Marcus, I would save Gil for Saturday against whoever CH can muster up.

Gil?
What makes anyone think he is Marcus' #1 or #2 anyway?
Nice win for Coppell last night!!!

Agreed. But what else does Coppell have on the mound?

Than who? Those stats seem pretty CHHS about a week ago.
Lots of coaches will not start their number one or number two in the first round if the other team is going with their number one.
Coach Stramp at Keller has done this for years.
As for Colleyville, I said it a week and a half ago...I think they started to believe thier press clippings.

Pretty sure he was replying to your post. You asked him to act like the coach...

My mistake, I'll apologize on that one.
On another note, can't wait to see how the series ends up. Should be a lot of fireworks.

xpitcherx,
Sorry about the confusion. I was speaking as if I were the coach of that team. That was what I meant by that. I understand what you are saying, just going by what I was told.
