I’m not sure. I’m just responding in general to a kid cussing an official being ejected.

I 100% agree! It’s a game, kids need to learn how to respect authority, last game of his life or not. Cuss your boss at work, you most likely aren’t getting a warning. This is on the parent of their kid gets ejected. I can assure you if I cuss an official, they wouldn’t have had to suspend me. My dad would have dragged me off by the ear and would not have allowed me to play the next game regardless. Life lessons are much bigger than a game.

Yes, I believe it is his 3rd season.

Orangefield Game 2 is back in Cleveland tomorrow at 1.

Orangefield vs. Pollok Central All Games @ Cleveland High School Field Game 1- Friday @ 7pm Game 2- Saturday @ 1pm Game 3- 30 minutes after game 2, if needed.

I agree. When they are clicking they are tough to beat.

Yes they split.

They had the same kid throwing 94 from day one. It’s not like they added him over the weekend.

3 were called for not coming set. I wasn’t actually watching the pitcher on any of them. However I don’t know that I’ve ever seen so many called like that. Seemed odd. If he actually wasn’t coming set, none were deceiving runners or anything like that. The other was a lefty pick off to first. I’ve seen the same move a thousand times not called a balk. They also called an OF hitter for leaning into a pitch that was overturned by field umpires. Seemed like they were antsy to make calls that didn’t need to be made, but maybe could have been. The hit by pitch call should never have been made though. However OF had lots of opportunities to win the game and it just didn’t happen. Not blaming it on umpires, just venting.

Who is pitching for Orangefield?

Having a pep rally after this is a JOKE. This is what is wrong with kids now days. My parents would have disciplined me and the coach I played for would have ran the ones of us who were still on the team until we puked. I can then promise you we would have thought twice before ever doing it again. This is what's wrong with kids today, having a pep rally when they do something wrong is moronic. Discipline them all and you won't have to worry about it ever happening again. I'm not blaming all this on either team, Silsbee and LCM should both handle their teams this way. Part of being a TEAM is everyone is responsible for anyone on the teams actions. Instead this is being handled as a poor me situation, and that is sad. Especially the adults on here defending the kids. AAW I appreciate your honesty and integrity and showing no bias here. If everyone acted like him in all places, the world wouldn't be in the shape it is right now. Race, where you are from, your family, nothing should change the way you feel about a situation like this. Like several people have said, nobody is saying he is a bad kid, but he has behaved badly on more than one occasion. Quit crying and take the punishment and move on. That is directed to the people on here crying, not the kid.

Was not too far if the reports of 2 other instances are true. Anyone can make a bad decision once. However, you still have to deal with the punishment, but multiple occasions is a pattern. If you truly care about the young man like you claim you do, you wouldn't be worried about too much punishment. You would be glad it wasn't too little. Instead you are concerned with the rest of your teams season.

This post sums up exactly how I see it. I grew up in Evadale and went to school there, so no reason or me to bash it. The competition for the majority of the season just isn't the same as a bigger school. Basketball is a little different to a certain extent because you don't need as many kids to be at that level. However I don't believe you would ever see a 2A school amass talent like Silsbee currently has. With baseball, a small school can beat a big school on any given night with a pitcher that dominates. However, you will not see the pitching night in and night out that a district such as the Silsbee, WOS, BC district. Then Football is even harder because of the amount of kids required to play. First off most small school kids have to play both ways. That by itself is a huge hit to the level of play. Then as Craig said, there just aren't as many kids that play on a high level like bigger schools. With all that said, I believe he will be fine. He has already exposed himself to that level of competition in 4A and this will just be 1 year. I do not believe he will get better during games this year though. I do hope he pushes them over the top though. I have no idea how good they are as I do not follow them anymore. But adding a football state championship to go along with the basketball and baseball would be pretty cool.

All you need to read was seems like to see that I wasn't saying I knew what happened, which means may not be the case. Other than than that I have nothing to say to you. Your just looking for people to jump on.

You evidently misunderstood my post. I said seems like, meaning from what I had seen seemed that way. Also said not all facts are out, so jumping on me makes no sense. Like I said about both instances is facts either way could change how it seems. Get down off your high horse and read what I wrote.

What exactly was going on when this happened? Were you just sitting/standing there minding your own business and they just walked up and pointed a gun at you? I'm not insinuating you were doing anything wrong, just curious as to what the situation was. Like I've said I'm in no way saying bad things don't happen to people (regardless of race), but it doesn't happen nearly as often as people would like to believe. I also know there are racist cops out there that are out of control, but highly doubt it's a very large number.

I agree 100% on the Minnesota shooting. Not all facts are out, but seems like cop was the one in the wrong. I was referring to the Baton Rouge shooting, which at first glance looks like victim could have avoided ending. However, evidence could change my mind on either of these.

Best post I have seen on this subject and exactly how I feel. The guy from MN at first glance, looks like cop is in the wrong. The guy from Baton Rouge at first glance, looks like he brought it on himself. However, evidence may come out that proves or disproves either of these statements. That's what all the protesters need to realize, nobody wants a unneeded killing, but at the same time, stop rushing to judgement and acting like all these situations are the same. Sometimes the "victim" had a chance to avoid the ending, but made the wrong choice to resist arrest. When that is not the case and the cop is in the wrong, they need to be prosecuted.

Comments like this are where the problems lie. Put yourself in the cops shoes and see how you handle the situation. I'll never take up for all cops, some are as corrupt as anyone. However, anyone who watches the video of this and can see the struggle and blames this on skin color is what is causing problems in this country. I have no idea if this guy deserved to be shot or not, but when he decided to resist arrest, anything from that point on is on him. Black, white or whatever. Making these things a race issue is what leads to what happened in Dallas last night. Instead of always crying victim why don't people comply with police officers and this wouldn't happen nearly as often. Now I absolutely believe there have been instances where cops shot black men that did not deserve to be shot, but they have shot whit men just the same. But screaming racism every time something happens to a black man make this situation worse not better.

Where did coach Green go? If in house means Obanion, should make a great head coach.

I'm not much of a Bautista fan either, but still think Odor is a punk. Always looking for confrontation, but to each their own. I preferred a guy like Biggio, a guy who let his play do the talking. Not many of those guys left though. Also I never saw Bautista's fist clinched. He may not have had his fingers dangling, but his hand was not ready to throw a punch. Like I said when you constantly find yourself in these situations, you are probably the problem.

I can't stand Odor. He always seems to find himself in these situations. So he is the common denominator here. However, it was one hell of a punch. But in Bautista's defense, things like this happen all the time and no punches are thrown. So I kind of see it as a cheap shot.

I never said he was a terrible kid. To be honest, I know nothing more about the kid other than he is from Ozen and plays at Alabama. But if he broke the rules he pays the consequences, simple as that.

This has nothing to do with the issue at hand. The current rules are the current rules, follow them and no trouble will find you. This always a victim mentality is what wrong with our entire country. He is a big boy now. When he messes up, he pays the price. Just like the rest of the world. All you ever want to do is bring up that you were a D1 athlete and all the rest of us are incompetent on all collegiate sports matters because we weren't. It's pretty simple, follow the rules and everything will be ok. As far as should college athletes be paid, this is a totally different subject. Quit tap dancing around the subject to avoid being proven wrong.

I do. Hopefully he can keep it up and take Carter's place before long. He is getting hard to watch.
