plano east baseball

eastleftymom....



My son is also going to Arkansas next year. Have you read the Hognation message boards? I think passionate fans sometimes think they know enough to become coaches! Thats why we like DVH. He's old school and runs the Razorbacks his way, never paying attention to the Monday Morning Quarterbacks.
Hang in there. Believe in your son and know that he's everything the Arkansas staff believes him to be. Good luck this weekend.
KC

KCBaseball - thank you! We believe in our son 100% and know what he's capable of. It's been a rough start to the season for him and the whole team, but there's a lot of season left. Hope your son is having a great senior year and looking forward to going to Arkansas as much as my son is.

After baseball season...

Can P-Daddy and the Swingman come along? We both travel light!

Anonymous,

[QUOTE] my whole intent was to get everyone fired up and the players fired up too.

I know Skip Bayless, read Skip Bayless, listen to Skip Bayless, and Anonymous you are NO Skip Bayless.

Try again.

Longtoss - Too funny This entertainment is worth missing lunch. Poor APF

We were due for a dog-file -- I hope Train is recovering nicely.

The Marcus boys are struggling too. I've heard blame attributed to everything from coaches, players, parents, fans, umpires, weather and even Satan most recently.

Suggested answers I've heard are shoot the coach, change the lineup, toughen up the kids, play harder, focus, relax, get better support of the coach and program from the parents, fire the umpires, act like a family, and yes, pray harder.

I think you could insert the name of any struggling team where it says Marcus above and pretty much the rest of this post would still work.

So what do we do? Love our boys, support the program and cheer like heck at the games. That's what I'm trying to do. What else can we do?

P-Daddy

No worries - your boys will bounce back

FBM

Well, I am going to follow apf's lead.

Northwest lost a close game Tuesday night to a talented Hebron team. We should clean house with all coaches and the AD, burn down the baseball field, impeach the president and go home tonight and kick our dogs.

That will fire up those kids to take on McKinney North Firday night!

Careful T-BD, the AD prolly coaches football. And I love Firdays!

Gotcha, he can stay. Cheerleader sponsor also.

the only time I have seen the word "prolly" used is by pd and apf ....I have a conspiracy theory...maybe they are one and the same...trying to fire up the team! (jk-don't dogpile me)

Ok, so I'm a smart-alec typer -- I'm too compulsive to type like that ('cept perhaps on April 1) -- I find myself correcting even the most minor speeling mistakes in my posts.

Wow, is the baseball world really this slow between Tue and Fri?

[quote]i think collins should give the nod to that junior kid that pitched after steven in the flowermound game the other night he was doing good and seems like a nice young talent that should get recruited. he throws strikes and gets ahead of hitters and gets people out./quote]

My first thought when I first read APF's original post was that the he was the junior kid that is being quoted above. Any other taker's on that theory?

I am sticking with my conspiracy theory

or maybe pd son is messing with dear old dad...

yes, it is slowwwww today

quote:

then it seems every at bat since then has been a sac bunt situation...

quote:

oh well, he needs to be able to do that well, also.

Welcome to high school baseball.

But, those two little bunts they do before they swing away in the cage ain't enough.

And, then there is frustration that it can't be done on que in a game.

Welcome to high school baseball.

OP - I like your theory. Or, maybe it could be the other player APF likes - "BH threw a gem ..... error after error in the infield"
Or, maybe APF is in the outfield looking in.

Ozzie, I don't know that kids name but he's cousin to a kid named Oswald and he lives behind the fence on the grassy knoll.

If the conspiracy theory is true then he isn't acting alone and maybe the clue to the real identity lies with whomever might have had a Marilyn Monroe look-a-like at their last bday party singing Happy Birthday.

Nobody even noticed my post. Is this a club I'm not in or do I need to be funny or controversial to get noticed or what? I'm sure I can be one or the other, unintentionally. I'm feeling left out. Somebody pick on me.

I thought Satan was the coach at Marcus?



Hey, you asked for it.

Krace,

Nothing to pick on in your previous post...I think you are exactly right.

Somewhere along the way, we parents and supporters think that our kids, coaches, administrators, etc., are trying to lose and mess up. That somehow if the coach would just make the right decisions, the team would never lose. We, as parents, must blame someone when the team loses, it just an't be the other team was better that night or our team isn't as good as everyone thought.

I say we blame ourselves. If we had contributed better DNA, our kids would be superstars and never lose again.

Krace4,
Read your post I think you answered your post with your last line:

"Love our boys, support the program and cheer like heck at the games."

Sounds like a good plan that most parents should follow. Hey, if you want someone to pick on you come sit by me and I will see what I can do since we are at the same school, actually KD will tell you "heck she won't pick on you she'll just talk your ear off" but you probably already know that.........

Careful or we'll be forced to call the waaaambulance...(Oh that was so bad!)

TBird, My DNA is top shelf.

cant spend all day on this but as a former panther i hated to see a talented group of players struggle. if i have hurt anyones feelings it wasnt my intentions.

I find it difficult to pick on Marcus folks. FM people? -- that's different. I suggest you move across town. Will that work for you? Also, I'm afraid of your coach.....

You know we love you over here at Marcus PD.

apf -- we were hoping you could spend at least MOST of the day on this.....*cough*.....actually, would anyone mind if focus our attention on Krace?

Krace -- being funny and/or controversial will help. JMO.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. You can cancel the waaaambulance.

KD, I wouldn't touch your remark with asbestos gloves.

T-Bird, this should get you going - I don't think winning is the only thing. (I'm guessing you don't either)I want my son to be a better young man and have better opportunities in life because of his participation in baseball, win or lose, which it has done for him so far. I look at what's going on with the Marcus team right now and I'm not worried about winning or losing games. I'm looking at boys who have loved the game all their lives deciding not to play anymore or thinking that they can't play anymore.

That breaks my heart. I wish I knew how to help. By the way, I played HS ball myself and I quit when I could have continued and I will always regret that.

Schools out.....no baseball practice today?

I just think it's funny that the same people over in North FM are complaining about the coach they were in love with 12 months ago.




And where are all the FM Coach bashers now that they are undefeated in District? They got quiet all the sudden.

Winning cures a lot of bad feelings it seems.

Krace,

My post was very tongue-in-creek. Obviously, my goals are very similar. One team wins state...everyone else also ran.

Therefore, if you are lucky enough to have a coach and program that does develop these boys in those positive qualities, then it will all be good in the end.

PD,

You think you are afraid of Marcus' coach...I am VERY afraid of collikar.

She seems very nice to me dude -- quite harmless in fact. Ok, I have a limited perception.

For the record, I'm not complaining about the Marcus coach now nor was I in love with him 12 months ago. Remember I said winning isn't everything to me.

I try not to go down that road in either direction. I support the program because my son and his closest friends and their families are in it. Coaches come and go throughout one's baseball career.

Also for the record, I don't think anyone at Marcus is afraid of the coach, not even the players.

And I'm not smart enough to be afraid of Collikar, yet. But I can learn.

I'll bet OBN is wondering who I am.

I didn't say you were in love with the coach Krace, just that there are plenty of others that were.

I think it's human nature to question coaches decisions, and we all do it to one extent or another.

And knowing OBN for as long as I have, I'm sure she has a very good idea who you are

Heck, I don't know if there is a person involved in baseball in Lewisville/FM/HV that she doesn't know.

PD I didn't say you said....just kidding.

There sure is lot of tension over in North FM.

What have the FM people ever done to you? The district configuration is in its last year...hardly enough time to build that much disdain toward a "group" of people. They are parents like you who want only the best opportunity and experience for thier kids. Why the dislike?

WOW - this thread just came full circle.

APF While you were in school you set a new thread record here on the HSBASEBALLWEB and I for one think that does not need to go un noticed. 4 pages in 8 hours, Way to go.....Now go tell Coach Collins what you did (rallying the team and all) and tell him you want the dang ball! WTG
