Bulldogs pulled this win off! It was a great game played by both teams. Sanderson and Nevala are a strong duo. Nevala came in under pressure and got the job done. Feltman looked real strong behind the plate. Nederlands infield defense is still very weak with a solid outfield. Humphrey started out strong but the Dogs started to figure him out. Roddy's fast ball and curve ball kept the Dogs on their toes but they finally found their groove kick started with a 2RBI shot by Feltman. Nederlands crowd got a little rambunctious while LCM seemed to keep their cool for the most part. Great showings by the players though. It was a fun game to watch with class acts on both teams!

I have to say the times I [i]have[/i] seen them, Nederlands outfield defense is solid with the weak defensive links being in the infield. I would agree though that the pitching staff is solid, hitting line up is solid from 1-9 and they seem to have great team chemistry with no hot shots. I bet Nederland will go far this season!! IMHO

NEDERLAND WINS 8-1!!! Sanderson was dominant!! Great showing by all the Dogs!!

Nederland leads 8-1 top of 7

Solid pitching with Sanderson, Nevala and Ramoin. Outfielders look great with not much getting by them, infield is a little weak and batting is looking really good. No big power hitters this year but consistent hitters are just as good. Getting on base and being aggressive on base running will win games.  Going be a great season if they keep this momentum.

[quote name="tappedout" post="985735" timestamp="1300569543"] Robbin's is not the JV coach. Bottom line is that playoff team got beat. [/quote] I just wanted to put my .02 in...You are correct that Robbins is not the JV coach but supposedly he makes the calls as far as line ups. Their JV coach doesn't know anything about baseball so there is definitely some micro managing having to go on there!!  :o  ???  :o From what I've heard that program is being run into the ground. Poor decision making and favoritism kills a program, everytime!! Ned needs to wake up soon before their demise with so much talent on their hands!! It was a great game no doubt, (yes I was there)  I was just surprised to see them pull Nevala. I've been watching that kid pitch/play for several years and he was no where near being done. I think Ned would have won had they left him in  :-\... that's all....bad decision turned loss by the coach, IMHO!  Definitely talented group on both sides though!

I KNOW most kids choose to play select if they are truly serious about playing at the next level. I know my kids do. Why else would we choose to make a monetary investment, time investment and hear our kid get griped at for not making adjustments or doing what they're told WHEN they're told to do it???? I don't remember who said it but they made the comment that on these select teams...they are just that...select. The coaches can and WILL let a kid go if he doesn't bust his butt like all the other players. High school sports has gotten too soft!! More importantly, high school coaches aren't interested in assisting their athletes get scholarships. I've heard time and time again that if they "help" one kid attempt to get a scholarship well then they have to help them all. Umm...isn't that what they're there for??? If a high school program were really there to help their students/athletes continue on at the next level then they would make a vested interest in their towns athletes and start programs in the middle schools to culturize their future prospects. I know some very upstanding, honest and sincere select coaches that personally vested in my childs future. If they can tell people that they have a player from their organization signed to wherever that helps their organization. I would totally think a high school coach would help promote school pride and help athletes continue on but I have yet to see one make such an effort!!! I miss old school coaching like crazy!! BRING IT BACK coaches...there are parents out there that don't mind when a kid gets griped at for not doing what they're told! Unfortunately, the softness I've seen from coaches will only produce a bunch of pansies and wusses!!!! That's our future too!!!! If the coaches won't promote their athletes which in turn promotes school pride...then so be it...The End of High School Sports!!!!
