Did they not have an Honorable Mention team? Seems like when I played you only had 2 pitchers and 1 person at every position and a utility guy for first team and the same for second team. Maybe I remember wrong? 1984 was a while ago!!!!!!!

What's the deal? Why does this keep coming and going?

The boys played great and really battled in the championship game. Congrats

Congrats

[/quote] Didn't agree with that either. BTW, Todd didn't get fired, he is staying on at Silsbee, just not coaching baseball. [/quote] You can split the hairs anyway you want to. He got fired from being the baseball coach, end of story. You can sugar coat it all you want and say he was reassigned. Good for you. I hope it makes you or whomever feel better. Bottom line, he was fired. I hope if he wants to stay on at Silsbee that he doesn't listen to me because I will be in his ear trying to help him find a place that appreciates what he has to offer. [/quote] Like I said, I didn't agree with it. I am not splitting hairs. If he ws fired, he wouldn't have a job period right now. He still has a job and getting paid. I think the proper term would be that he got demoted. Definite difference in being fired and being demoted. [/quote] Like I said, you can split hairs anyway you want to. I think if you wanted to split hairs you would say he was reassigned. Either way he isn't the baseball coach at Silsbee and I hope he chooses to stay in that profession and find another job coaching baseball.

Great season Mustangs. Us old guys love to see the program headed back in the right direction. Congrats to the Bobcats. Great job guys. I will now switch over and support the Cardinals and Bobcats if yall have room on the bandwagon.

It was a good game. Zane pitched a great game. Congrats Mustangs. Let's remember it takes 2 wins to advance. Go get em tomorrow. Or as a good friend and good coach would say GATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bases loaded with 2 outs. Hitter hits a little pop up between pitchers mound and where second baseman is playing. Umpire immediately calls infield fly rule (which was a horrible call regardless of how many outs we had because no one even got close to catching the ball). Runner at 2nd hears umpire and decides he better go back to 2nd because he (runner) must be confused on how many outs there were. Runner on 3rd scores but they force the guy going to 3rd because he stayed at 2nd because infield fly rule was called. What do you do to resolve this mess? [/quote] First if I was coaching then I most likely would have been reminding the runners of how many outs they were and if they were moving at the crack of the bat. This instance with two outs i would have been telling my runners to keep moving and then after the play if the umpire still said it was an infield fly I would remind him that there were two outs and it was not in effect. An infield fly is called to remind the runners in this case it hurt a runner but the coach should have been in the game enough to overcome this. If I ever did that as an official, I may have had to call for a do over like someone mentioned before. As an umpire whenever you make a call like that you are in a know win situation and you are going to get eat on by someone. I think it also shows that we all makes errors and this is just a game and not life or death. [/quote] That is such a great answer. I was the coach and my player was reminded but he is 11 and listened to the umpire. If I had gotten an answer like that it would have been easy to swallow. As a coach, I would always rather an umpire just tell me that he blew the call. You're right it happens and at the end of the day it's just a kids baseball game. The problem comes in when excuses are made instead of owning up to our mistakes. Something we probably all do at some point even though we were taught to own up to our mistakes.

Great year for the Bears. Congrats.

I agree the boys played great all weekend. Solid in every phase. Personally I think it was the coaching that pulled them through  ;D I had a blast. Thanks for letting me be a part of the 10U's this weekend.

(Brandon Chambers, Rocky Calhoun, Joel Schooling, Blake Moss) Raised enough money to make the following improvements to the baseball field: Covered batting facility Built a bullpen Brick wall behind home plate Metal fence in the outfield Rebuilt the home dugout New scoreboard Planter boxes and palm trees One of the nicest playing surfaces in the area. Silsbee baseball will miss Coach Trawhon!!! [/quote/] Pretty sure BC won district in 06...... [/quote] Pretty sure they weren't in the same district that year!!!!!!

[quote name="Bobcat55" post="800765" timestamp="1273710882"] I've known Todd for a long time and I feel he was done wrong. I'm not an employee of Silsbee and I was not in the meeting when Todd was "re-assigned" but I can say with confidence that some people, and not just at Silsbee, talk about being tough on kids and no nonsense but when a coach does it their ideas change. I've heard people talk saying he yells too much or he's too tough on the kids well that is what he has done since day one and when he was winning it was wonderful. I hope Silsbee ISD realizes that they just dumped on a guy who just did his job and cared for his players. I know I would let him coach my kid anyday and I hope he does well at his next school. Keep your head up Todd and remember who your real friends are. [/quote] I couldn't agree with you more.

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="800541" timestamp="1273628225"] :D :D :D :D Not this year! [/quote] Not any year.

Outside or not doesn't change the fact that he is a good, good coach and the fact that he raised alot of money for the program. He also did alot with not much to work with. Time will tell. Best case scenario, Silsbee is happy and Coach goes somewhere that they can appreciate his talents and is successful and happy.

Silsbee's loss will be someone else's gain.

Coach will be fine. There are alot of programs that would be lucky to have him.

Careful what you wish for.
