[quote name="ST413" post="823996" timestamp="1281363737"] Of the players I know I  would have to add Prudhomme-HJ, Prentice Lane-Silsbee, Gustafson-HJb and not sure of their names but I believe it is Whitaker from Spurger and their pt guard. May even add Kelton Gaines from Silsbee. I know there are some from other schools such as Nederland just not familar with them. [/quote]        Spurger's George Whittaker & the pt. guard Chase McGallion

[quote name="643" post="781653" timestamp="1269518218"] Will depend on what your playing...LL, Pony, HS ball???? I'm sure Mr Ump will ask so what is it????? [/quote]Was asking about high school ball, Thanks Mr Ump

MrUmp1 i have another one. The trips to the mound, Is it so many trips per inning,per game or per pitcher before you have to pull the the kid that is pitching. Example---The coach made 2 trips with the first pitcher 3 with the second,and made one trip out with the third pitcher.The third pitcher was in his third inning of pitching before the coach made his visit to him. The field ump made him remove the pitcher. (?)

Poor chemistry for a team with as much talent and potential as these guys. Very disappointing second half of the season. And dont fire Rick Barnes. That would be terrible for the program. Get the kids ready to compete next year. [/quote]No chemistry, and Young. Give a year are so and then make the call on the coach.

[quote name="ST413" post="778433" timestamp="1268883564"] [quote author=beeninnikes link=topic=67456.msg778389#msg778389 date=1268881753] I got a few thoughts on this topic.  First of all, i think just because you make it to Austin in the final 4, doesnt guarantee you a spot in the top 4 or 5 on the final poll.  Some teams come out of weak regions where they may not make out 2 rounds in another region.  Leggett in 1A-II region 4 is a great example.  They made it to the state tournament and lost to Kennard in the regular season.  Kennard was the THIRD PLACE team 24-1A-II, which is region 3 though.  I promise Leggett couldnt make it 2 rounds in region 3, and they have no business being in the top 10 or maybe 15 in the TABC poll, but finished 4th for making it to state (Laneville at #6 beat them by 8 pts on a neutral court).  Now in Spurgers case, they beat the #2 team in state at the time to get to state, so i agree they should be higher.  In the teams ranked ahead of them, i saw Cayuga, Bronte, Gruver, Tenaha, and Martins Mill play at least once.  I think Spurger shouldve been possibly ranked ahead of Gruver or Tenaha, but not Bronte or Martins Mill.  Bronte for obvious reasons, and Martins Mill gave Cayuga a heck of a game in the regional finals, it was within 10 points until some point in the 4th quarter.  I think Martins Mill wouldve done pretty well at state also.  I cant speak for those other 3 teams, but they better have made the regional finals at least.  I probably wouldve put Spurger at least in the top 6 or 7 though.  I agree about the TABC poll being a joke in some cases.  They rank teams that i know have no business being in there and leave teams out that are more than deserving. [/quote] I  can agree with that. [/quote]Well I must look at wrong then. You play and beat who they put infront of you,you earn your way to the state semi's.You cant help the fact that some of the so call better teams are in a different region,they didnt make to the semi's.Spurger was one of the last 4 teams standing and should have been awarded so. If we want to go to "would have & could have's" I think you would have seen a different team all together If it was not played at UT. Im not saying Spurger would have beat Yuga so lets dont get any of that started.Yuga is a beast and is the state champions.But the last time Spurger shot below 30% from the feild they where beaten by kirbyville by 1.A few of the guys was alittle wide eyed from the whole process. That been said, IFs ANDs COULD WOULD, none of that makes a dam. Cayuga #1, Bronte #2, and Spurger and Gruver earned 3rd and 4th spot.

[quote name="MrUmp1" post="778498" timestamp="1268911285"] When the umpire is in the inside of the diamond and is hit, the ball is dead and each runner or batter runner is awarded one base.  I know sometimes the kids get a little mad at me because they want me to move to much from where i should be to help their vision but if I move to much sometimes you are putting yourself in an area where you are more likely to get hit. [/quote]Sounds like the umps got it right then. Since the runner on 2nd was on the move and pretty much had 3rd when the ump was hit,does not make a difference.He would still get only 3rd??or should he have got to go home as the awarded base?

[quote name="ST413" post="778254" timestamp="1268872266"]   I know many of you would expect me to comment on the Tigers ranking but that is not what I made this topic about.  I made this because I feel the poll really did an injustice to Spurger.  I know the argument would be that they got beat badly by Cayuga and some of the other teams ranked above them didn't. However,  the Pirates made it to Austin so they were one of the final four teams. They lost to the team that won state.  In my book they deserve to be ranked higher than ninth.  I would have to put them in the top 4 because they earned their spot in Austin and beat the number  2 team in the state.  Congratulations Pirates on a great year and congratulations to all our ranked area teams!!  Good luck next year!! [/quote]I agree i think Spurger should have been higher just for the fact That the pirates was in the final four. I also think that alot of the things TABC puts out is a joke,So doesnt make much difference here ;) Thanks ST413

You have a runner on 2nd,batter hits the ball and the man on 2nd was stealing. Ball hits the field ump on the shoe ball goes out to right field.Is the ump part of the field or dead ball? Call was made batter gets first, runner who was almost to 3rd from stealing scored, was made to go back to 3rd.

With their first practice monday and a game at BS today Spurger is no where near ready to be playing district games.I just hope they can keep it in single digits. ;D On the bright side Mcgallion did pitch 2 scoreless inns today. And then was pulled being it was the first game.

[quote name="Boogy1000" post="777720" timestamp="1268772536"] 2010/11 Season Silsbee will go 28-8 State Semifinals again HJ will go 24-9 Regional Semi Spurger will go 20-10 bi district champs [/quote]I can live with the first two picks, but IMOP the only way Spurger goes 20-10 is if they play 10 teams like silsbee and cleveland etc. They will go  to area again right after district.Want be playing in the bi-district game. ;D ;D
