Was anyone at the Jesuit v poteet fall game? That kid who lost to us like 2-0 was pretty good...anyone know who I'm talking aobut?

Finally...a topic I know a little about!!!

Jesuit - great pitching (Meinhart is probably who you are asking about pizzathehut - better known here as DTiger) & solid nucleus returning
Mac - returning almost everyone, now with 2-3 years varsity experience, solid pitching (and I hear their catcher is a stud -yes I know "self promotion)
SGP - good core of returners, will replace several key pitchers
Bell - always reloads strong!!
Trinity - lost almost entire varsity roster to graduation and all pitching
Irving - how do you replace Beaven??
Nimitz - how does the team respond to the resent loss of two players two an accident
Grand Prairie - never know what will happen when you play them on the hill!!

I think this will be a very competetive district, with the games beign fun to watch. Never know what will happen for those who do advance and have to play the 8-5A teams!!

hmm I dont think it was meinhardt...whoever he was, I thought he was a pretty darn good player.

I cant recall who was on the mound for us be he threw pretty well and handcuffed Jesuit that game.

If you liked a pitcher's duel, it was a great game to attend.

Yeah there catcher Matt played some first base that day. He told me that he really loves playing first.

...talk about a kid with a gun for an arm...

Probably Zach Walker. Lanky, good arm and our back up (if you really want to call him the back up, he and I switch) SS. He was our closer last year and could be the same if not 2nd pitcher this year depending on match ups. With him and another kid I just won't mention because I'm so sneaky, we should have 3 solid pitchers. Just solid. Our success will depend on hitting... Mateo.

And it's Meinhardt... German

Your boy Bemo hit 90-91 on the gun the other day!

We've always known he's had a good arm! If you need to keep him humble, remind him about his first outting of this past summer against the 18U Blackhawks... he'll know what I'm talking about!

He is going to mix in some time at catcher for us when he is not pitching. I have to be careful in the tournaments with him at those positions. But pitching on Tuesday and catching on Friday should not be a problem for him in district play.

DBU wants him to play C/3B for them. He is pretty good behind the plate. I just do not want to take him off of 3B.

DTiger and co. got a pretty good addition who's young and should help them out on the mound.

He caught me against 18U DBAT and did a dang good job in a big game. The kid is a gamer. Enough said. He'll play outfield if that is what is needed.

That young addition will need to find his way onto the field.

DTiger is that "young kid" you speak of tall and from cajun country? If so, he's got ton of ability and a bright future on the mound!

There's nothing wrong with his ability on the mound, I can tell you that. For the sake of this board, I will hold back what he could improve on, but if and when he does, he will be scary good. And what I'm talking about doesn't really have to do with baseball... in a way.

You're absolutely right...and smart for not disclosing any "secrets" on the board.

The kid in terms of pitching potential, projects out of the roof... would you agree? The problem is for me and this year, I don't want projecting... haha I want results! (I'm not saying that he won't, but I am saying it'd be nice to get his projecting moving along quicker!! Confused yet?)

He projects very nicely...
and I do think you'll see some good results and he'll help you guys quite a bit.

I replied to your PM and since I can't possibly completely waste this space...

Tell Behmanesh if he ever needs some BP, don't call because I can only K him up----joking for anyone not familiar. I'm going to hear about this thread tomorrow at school...

I think that Cajun boy does have potential, but it will be hard for him to get on the mound with 4 returning pitchers.

Alright I have to throw in my 2 cents...

Heres how I say they'll land...

Jesuit - Best overall players at just about every position in district.Top guys are going to be Matt Shortall, Kyle Meinhardt, and Kevin Cosgrove.Better pitching than what you see. They have more expierience than the other teams throughout the district. Very interesting baseball talent here.

Irving Macarthur -Returns many solid players. All District catcher John Smart, Pitcher Parker Sheets should lead team. Will have to play good day in and day out to end at 2nd.

LD Bell - All District players Victor Perez, Ryan Zeitz should contribute. Moore(sp?) will be a very good pitcher for them throughout the year. Loss of Tamez will hurt

South Grand Prairie - Young scrap.py team last year. Should scrap their way into playoffs again lead by some younger players

Irving - Yogi Gallegos is very good but not sure he can lead this team to the top.

Irving Nimitz - Had good leadership last year. Hopefully they will be able to turn in a good season.

Grand Prairie - Not quite the days of Kerry Woods brief stint. Look for Hector Moreno to lead team

Some reason I was not allowed to put the word S.C.R.A.P.P.Y. This moderator is "tuffy"

Redundant bump.
