Blind Ump

Why would you assume because someone does not habitually post on "this" particular forum that they are computer illiterate? Cut, paste, html is not that difficult to master, especially if you have been in the computer business for 25 years, Son.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but I was a spectator at the game Friday. What else is there to do for entertainment in BC? Looked apparent that Silsbee came to play with fire in their eyes. ERRORS ... thats what cost BC the game. When a game is close or tied, throwing the ball from third over the first baseman's head is not going to help ANY pitcher on the mound. That should be routine, guys. Fielding the ball cleanly and making the play is something BC needs to work on. And bunts ... what happened to small ball, moving the baserunner around? Homeruns are not the only way to score runs. What really incited me to respond on this thread, was all this Little League second guessing. A few of you continue to question the coach about pulling the starting pitcher in the 6th inning. Sounds just like the old "well if the coach would have pitched MY son, we would have won," song and dance. Come on parents... realize that it about the team, not just one single kid. It is unfair to say most of the stands were voicing their opinion when Meeks was pulled. That is simply not true. Yes, he had done a nice job for 5 innings, but am I the only one who remember him HITTING the first two batters in the 6th? Plunking two in a row with no outs is probably what made the Coach B. decide to switch to a different pitcher. The coach may have felt the pitcher was tiring and losing momentum. Errors, walking batters, lack of timely hitting against a great opposing pitcher... all reasons why BC lost the game, not because Meeks (or any other pitcher) was pulled. Silsbee played more aggressively and won as a team. If BC would have won, no one would be second guessing the coach. Finger pointing and blaming others should be left down at the Little League park.
