Reid vs Stafford

It will be an excellent game to watch. Two summer teammates and good friends, two great pitchers.

Whoever plays the best defense wins the game.

Two of Sam Carpenter's finest Dallas Mustangs going head to head. I predict the team that scores the most when the game ends will win. (Find me a fence, I love to walk. )

Both throw complete game no-no's but one wins due to an unearned run as a result of a walk, wild pitch, and then error to score.

This was the Dallas Morning News game of the week last year due to these two pitchers, but somehow Stafford didn't end up throwing. Can't wait to see the outcome of this one!

I have never seen Reid play, but I have seen Stafford a couple of times. A heck of a player. One of the best I've seen this season.

Does KD son hit lead off for the Indians? From what I have seen, if you are going to beat CR you better get after him early. Once he gets into the game an inning or two, he gets very tough. Stafford is just pretty much tough the whole time. I believe I will come out west for this one, weather permitting. KD, please keep us all in the loop if there is a change of plans.

So far he has been hitting leadoff.....but we've had a different lineup for every single district game so far. Coach Stramp is still tinkering with it trying to get something to work.

Only 3 position players have played in the same spot for the 4 games, it really has been an odd start of the season, and I expect him to tinker all the way through.

I don't expect a whole lot of scoring on either side. Too bad, my son could use some help in the stats department about now.

Reid and Stafford are the same in many ways as far as pitching, both with above average fastballs, I think Reid's is 4-seam and Stafford is 2-seam, and they both have filthy breaking pitches. I think Stafford has Reid beat on a change-up, anyone who saw him throw to the big lefty for Denton Ryan last year would know, I'm sure KD can vouge. But Reid strikes a lot of people out with that slider. Didn't each of them lose their district games against each other last year??

KD,
Did you guys have the infield covered? When will you know whether there is a game tonight?

Uncle Ethan,

There's nothing to cover the field with!

Dad0406,
Sounds like the booster club needs to sell more hotdogs and buy the coach a tarp. I guess that answers that question.

When and where is this game being played tonight? And is it still on?

No sports specific booster clubs are allowed at KISD.....

I've got an email into the coach

Just got back from the post office and drove by the field. From the street, it seems the mound and home plate areas were covered. No standing water on the infield dirt and a workforce (aka: baseball class) working feverishly. If I was a betting man, with the wind and a little sun this afternoon, they will probably get the game in tonight.

Games been moved to Wednesday, same time, same bat channel.

That's why I gave up gambling!

Get there early if you want a seat. Tonight at 7pm at Keller HS

Chase lost his no hit bid with one out in the bottom of the seventh as Merck singled. SLC won 6-1.
