Nice job...Congrats on impressive wins.

It's a paradox: The less they throw, the more often they get hurt." So pitchers are throwing less than ever before, but they are getting hurt more. Hmm maybe they shouldn't be relying on pitch counts. [/quote] Lots of those injuries, and I agree there are a lot of them aren't necessarily overuse related like:  ligaments and tendons in the shoulder and elbow obviously are.  Lots of pitchers are spending more time getting stronger for obvious reasons and not as much time working the pitching related motions.  You hear more about muscle injuries like obliques, back muscles, etc.  Their bodies can't take the torque that their strength and mechanics can generate.  It seems with emphasis on pitch count, it seems to suggest less work on pitching or even work in general which I don't believe is the point.  The point being to reduce the number of needless hardcore repetitions on your arm which has proven to do damage and continue to do damage if not given enough time to recover.  Wouldn't it be nice to know that magic total number of throws each arm had and you could ration them over what ever career God intended for it to have???  It just seems a waste in the scheme of things to "not" use common sense and attempt to preserve one of God's gifts "an electrifying arm" so that it may be used for as long as possible, providing one with a higher education and perhaps a living not to mention hours of spectator enjoyment.  I do agree however that it is a paradox, but still not worth not trying to do right by these young men.  I just think coaches shouldn't ignore it. [/quote] It is several things that can make or break a pitching arm. Strength, flexibility, mechanics and usage.  To make it one has to have the right cocktail of all four. For you non-adult beverage folks, that would mean the right mix.  To much of one and not enough of the other sends things out of balance and arms are at risk of injury.  We can control the mechanics and usage...and increase  strength as well as flexibility, but the construction and expiration date are somewhat a wild card in the mix.  Not to go on and on, bottom line we need Coaches and Parents to give special attention the mix and not just the trophy. [/quote] This ^^^^^^^^^^^ Very well said.

[quote name="BHSPORTSFAN" post="1185892" timestamp="1330213390"] Congrats to Coach Price on his new gig!  He will do well with the athletes at CEK. Now, having said that, let me try to explain Coach Prices departure from BH.  This is from the perspective of a parent who's son played football, baseball, basketball and track for Coach Price and staff from 7th - 10th grades and for Coach Gage and staff in 11th and 12th grades. By the end of his last football season at BH, Coach Price had lost his players.  Not because they weren't winning, but because he had become distant from them.  There was no interaction between Head Coach and his kids, or the community, and it was painfully evident to everyone in the BH program.  He expected winners but didn't inspire kids to win. On the other side of the coin, Coach Gage and his staff brought renewed energy to the program.  They engaged the players and the community.  Coach Gage told me prior to the start of the season two years ago that he couldn't promise that we would win a single game, but he promised that he would LOVE each and every kid on the team as if they were his own.  That's what a parent wants to hear!  The kids drank the koolaid too and have been inspired to do great things. Go Eagles! [/quote] Thank God someone "in the know' and with reason. I could list a 1000 reasons why it was time for Price to leave BH....maybe 600 why it wasn't. And mine only played baseball. 

[quote name="sport1971" post="1188875" timestamp="1330538028"] Guys this is simple...every reputable arm specialist, coach, pro ect...all say pitch count is very important. Not only at the little league level, but High School as well.  165 pitches one time may not hurt a kid or it could. I know in today's day and time, coaches are being pushed to win...job depends on it! Districts and coaches need to know it's not worth hurting a kid! There is always going to be the exception to the rule...but as a general rule 165 pitches on a kids arm is not a good thing and should be questioned by a kids parents. I can tell you this...My kid is a lefty with a strong arm and has the potential for next level stuff...so 165 pitches [b]would not go over real [/b] [b]well with me. [/b]  Next level or not, you have to ask yourself: Is it worth? [/quote] Well said. Would not go over at all with me.

[quote name="football" post="1188571" timestamp="1330519930"] Mr Becckett would have to find another high school for his son!! Probably way too many pitches this early but it is the coach's call.  If you don't like it, take your kid down the road to one of the experts on here and let them stick with select ball. [/quote] ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) I take it you or your kid had a bad experience with baseball.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1188490" timestamp="1330492957"] I played against Josh Beckett in HS.  His dad had him on a pitch count and let him throw 75 pitches in the daytime and 85 at night.  He would go to the dugout and tell the coach when his son had to come out of the game.  Our parents talked to Beckett's dad and asked him why he did that.  His response was, that kid has a Million dollar arm and I'm not letting the jack#$% in the dugout ruin that.  Seems like Mr. Beckett knew what he was talking about. [/quote] I know a few of other dads that did the same thing....two or in the minors and another fixin to be.  165 is a felony !

[quote name="westend1" post="1188387" timestamp="1330486165"] BS.  You don't throw a kid 165 pitches, especially early in the year in a meaningless game.  Pathetic. [/quote] Bingo...

ULM Warhawks lose game 2 to SHSU on Saturday night. ULM bounces back to win Sunday's rubber match and take the series. ULM 6-2 on the season. Thamm (Barbers Hill-2008 ) throws a scoreless 1-2-3 9th inning to earn his second save. 8 2/3 innings, 1-0 w 2 saves, 12k's 1bb, 1.04 ERA.

Talking about how BH was next? Maybe but obviously not very smart. Or is it classless to walk off the court before the winning team is announced after the game? I think that's more classless myself but would have never mentioned it before you 2 idiots spoke up. Teenagers don't always make good decisions but you can't always control what they do. Don't get on here bashing the BH girls when you don't know them and you obviously don't pay attention to what your own girls are doing. It amazes me that people will turn their heads to what their own kids are doing but bash someone else for doing something similar. I don't like any of the trash talking myself but if your gonna talk it you better expect a little in return! [/quote] Thanks RIP...I knew all about this (HEARD the comments myself from the Ozen players the night before) and also that they walked off the floor during the trophy presentation, and at least two unnamed players would not shake hands, and a coach told our players in during handshake "ya'll aint gonna win nothin at state", and the completey inappropriate, moronic behavior of the assistant coach during games going all the way back to FALL LEAGUE... BUT...I chose to take high road and just give congratulations ... Thanks to DICK, now I feel the need to set the record fully straight and its no wonder that that our girls showed their emotions after the taunting from the night before... [/quote] I can see the NUTS do not fall far from the trees in Barbers Hill.... ::) ::) I was NOT in attendance, so as far as what Ozen girls did, I don't know...If they DID taunt them, it was just as wrong...I SAW the BH girls holding up the signs...If it is not addressed, then shame on your community...If it is, kudos to you...Good luck in Austin. And remember, Karma is real..what goes around....will eventually come right back around...remember that...life lesson. [/quote] Mean ol Barbers Hill.....we get it.
