[/quote] [b][i]The important part[/i][/b]  ;D ;D ;D [/quote] :-X [/quote]  Haven't trotlined much.  I think that is a Republican sport, along with noodling.      :o

I believe the final was 11-6.

Just wondering what you guys think.  Brook has it's first district game Wednesday, where presumably they will throw their best pitchers.  They will also want those guys available next tuesday for our second district game.  That leaves us throwing everybody else for 4 games over three days.  As thin as brook in at the pitching rotation, this probably means calling up JV guys. What we end up with is a glorified scrimmage, with kids missing substantial school time(which some need) on thursday and friday.  My question.....Is this a good idea to schedule tourneys as district is starting?  Just seems like we would be better off with a couple of scrimmages this week.  maybe it's not a problem for teams with a lot of pitching depth.  Are we the only ones thin enough at pitching to make this a problem?

Brook lost to Pasadena Dobie 9-8 last night in the finals of the Pasadena tourney.

[quote name="pickle" post="1191088" timestamp="1330744787"] First things first, everyone needs to remember that a pitch count is only a number.  The majority of people seem to swear by the 100 pitch, pitch count.  Why?  Who decides 100 pitches is the limit?  Who can tell a pitcher when they get to 100 pitches they are done? What if the pitcher is in great shape and can go another 20-30 pitches?  What if the pitcher should have quit throwing at pitch number 63 or pitch number 81?  That number is under the magical 100 mark so surely no damage could be done to a player, right.  Of course not.  It depends on the player and every player is different.  Again, a pitch count is only a number so don't get so caught up with it.  Next, some of the problem today is the overuse of pitchers.  Do I mean overuse in a game?  Maybe, but let's think about what these kids do today.  How many pitchers can you name that play high school ball then go to some type of pitching coach on the side?  I'm willing to bet that everyone that reads this knows at least 5 people that pitch for their high school and then go to some other type of training.  Is that extra training considered when we bring up the term, overuse or is that term only saved for the general high school coach?  I'm willing to bet the high school coach knows a little more about the use of their pitchers and their players since they see them everyday.  Where a pitching coach on the side, only sees the kid a few times a week.  I will give you an example of what I'm talking about.  Let's say Joe pitcher throws 90 pitches in a game on Tuesday.  He may come to practice on Wednesday and do little to no throwing then throw a light bullpen on Thursday and probably play some other position on Friday.  Sounds like the typical high school baseball pitcher, right?  What if Joe pitcher is going to pitching lessons on Wednesday and Thursday after practice?  What type of throwing does he do there?  Does his pitching coach know what he has done in high school baseball that week?  Does the pitching coach care what he has done in baseball that week?  I'm not saying it's impossible to do both but, in my opinion, it's very hard to do both without the risk of overuse!!! To bighawk, be sure you know where your overuse came from before you start blaming your surgery on something that happened when you were a freshman. [/quote] 165![size=24pt][/size]

Westbrook beat Pasadena Sam Rayburn  1-0.    Glad to get the win but our offense is non-existent.  :-[

[size=14pt]165[/size]  Are you kidding?

I didn't have the problem this morning on the IPad.

[quote name="BHFAN" post="1188787" timestamp="1330533255"] This beating Beaumont thing is starting to catch on  ;) [/quote]  Yeah.  if ozen had not knocked you guys out in the most important game of your decade, you guys would be looking pretty good.      ;)

Guillory is a junior.

BS.  You don't throw a kid 165 pitches, especially early in the year in a meaningless game.  Pathetic.

Charles Guillory(Westbrook)  1st  against Barbers Hill

Same problem on the IPad.  Not sure what is causing it but the device is unusable at this point.

Nederland will be on top when this season ends.  Book it, Dano.      8)

[quote name="Sniper" post="1185733" timestamp="1330200351"] Any updates on West Brook game today? Game was to start at 11:00. [/quote]  Brook beat Humble and lost to Pasadena Dobie.  They are 2-3 on the season.

Sweet!  Was the wind very bad?

Brook loses 4-2.  Left bases loaded in 7th.  Big guys are going to have to start hitting or this will be a looong year.

Throwing error allows another run.  3-1 Livingston in 6th

Brook trails Livingstone  2-1 in the 3rd. Same score in 5th.

[/quote] When did you see LCM swing it in game time situation? We only played brook in a scrimmage, which doesn't give an accurate reading on what our players can do. [/quote]  It was just an opinion based on what I saw over a 14 inning scrimmage.  maybe it was just a bad day for LCM.  maybe they weren't trying to hit the ball because it wasn't a "game time situation". i don't know.  Just responding to the question from the Pirate fan.  Good luck, LCM.

Peno(sp?} started for vidor and pitched well.  Norris started for Brook and also did well.  Soper finished the last 4 for brook and gave up only 1 run.

banhammer coming down!  :o

How many innings does a starting high school pitcher have to go to be eligible for the win?
