cougarbaseball -- you requested a report on Birdville after Monday's scrimmage....I'll do the best I can in light of the fact that no one on either team was wearing a number -- and no lineups were turned in to the press box. Smile

Birdville has a solid team with decent hitting through the top half of the order and solid defense -- I think they committed one error. We saw a boatload of pitchers -- they led off with a lefty that looked good. Based on the 8-inning scrimmage, in very cold weather, I would say that there are a number of things that the coach will focus on before the start of district play -- primarily his pitchers holding runners on base so his catcher(s) have a chance, and solidifying his OF. Even the lefties have slow moves to the plate and we stole several bases. Their hitters were agressive -- some overly so, but that may have been a case where they were trying to make something happen as they compete for a spot in the lineup. They did a nice job of situational hitting on a few occasions.

Plano East outhit Birdville (11-9?) -- and won the scrimmage 12-9 or 12-10 (who cares!). It was a good first scrimmage.

Now, I know you understand that others here may report -- Birdville killed us!!! or We crushed Birdville!!! I'll go out on a limb and say they will compete for a playoff spot in a so-so district and struggle in a strong one -- I know nothing about their district. My comments aren't meant to offend anyone from BV -- I think the coach would agree with my somewhat generic review.

Thanks for the reply, our scrimmage went alot like yours boatloads of pitchers from both sides with some looking better than others on a very chilly evening and I will admit that we came out on the short end due to a bit of shoddy defense early in the game 9-5 or 9-6. Birdville won our district last year 7-4A with a 13-1 district record but I know they graduated some of their best players including their catcher and their best pitcher. Also I think one of their better returnees is playing basketball (Jason Martinson) quite a three sport athlete from what I have seen and heard. Our district is fairly top heavy in that we have 4 pretty good teams and four below average teams with Azle being projected as the best (preseason ranked 8th in state)
