IMO strike outs are a killer.  It is always better to put the ball in play and make them earn the out esp in high school baseball. 2 strike swings are a must. Lots of errors at this level. Plus putting the ball in play can make the runners advance or score.  You cant do any of these things if you are walking back to the dugout!!

They are good ball players but lets dont go overboard. Also looking at the crosby program they showed 47 players and 30 seniors. Crosby has alot to replace. [/quote] I agree...  I doubt they won't be highly recruited, unless they grow.  Look at Montgomery's Leroy Dobbins from a few years ago.  He was one of the best HB's in the state, and one of the most explosive players I've ever seen.  Due to his size, he wasn't highly recruited and went to a junior college in New York. [/quote]more like due to grades he was not recruited.  One of the best I have seen but if you cant make the grades, they cant get you in.. as for the twins... they are fast and strong and make strait A's... Aston may not play QB in college but I believe will play somewhere. as for Austin.. Size I dont think is a factor... he is almost like a Emmit Smith style runner and about the same size.

so what you are saying is a non starting pitcher can pitch more than once a game as long as he stays in the game/line up. correct?

[quote name="MrUmp1" post="1218538" timestamp="1336177043"] a stating pitcher can be removed as pitcher then put back in as a pitcher as long as he has not left the game. Only the starting pitcher can do this [/quote]I have seen a non starting pitcher enter to pitch twice this year.  EX. the kid started in RF, came into pitch in 2nd inn, was pulled in th 4th and moved back to RF and put back into pitch in the 7th to close the game.... what I was told by 2 different umps that it is by interpretation of the rule. Could you give me the rule, and number so I can see what they are debating

question. can a NON STARTING pitcher re-enter to pitch?

if you can read i said I can see why they called it.. he jerked, or a quick move, while his right foot was going back.... which is not a balk.... as for what you seen, only 1 CALLED IT. If you know the rules, hands in the air means TIME. When one calls they all throw their hands in the air to signal time or dead ball... like a foul ball...  As for the floating strike zone you are right.  In the 5th inn there was a no call 3 strike that would have got crosby off the field only giving up 1. the ump missed a lot of calls both ways. AND NO... 1ST AND 3RD HAVE BETTER VIEWS BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE THE BACK OF THE RUBBER. I take nothing away from the LCM kids.. they did a great job battling back. I just think it is BUSH as a coach to Yell right before a wind up to try to get a balk. Its not againt the rules.... JUST BUSH LEAGUE!!!

Try double step toward the plate without delivery, with the foot engaged UNTIL he knew he screwed up...correct call by FOUR umpires. [/quote]BUSH any way you look at it...to use little league tacktics and YELL at a kid... dont matter what he said he was tring to get a balk... the kid did not even move... BUSH!!!.... and 4 did not call, 2 did and the two that did where the home and 2nd. the 1st and 3rd did not and had better view of right foot coming off. That is why they did not call.  Really Hat creek is right... crosby made many errors and should have put yall away early.. thats alright.... that is why it is a series

[quote name="biggreycoug" post="1216785" timestamp="1335886521"] I think we have great chance to win this series if we play good defense.  We are hitting the ball well right now.  We will have to be smarter on offense.  If we get thrown out stealing third when we were already in scoring position and things like that we will get beat.  If we continue to[b] bunt our three and four hole hitters [/b] we will most likely get beat.  Just need some better decision making to have a chance.

I was wrong but I still feel the sameway about classes for individual sports. 50 minutes is not a lot of time to actually get in much work.  Most of the work is done after school. HJ is good not because they have a basketball class but because of their little dribbler program. I don't see the baseball class helping their baseball program. Silsbee they just have more athletes plain and simple. Don't see a basketball class helping Bridge City either. Here are the facts, unless Orangefield really grows at a rapid pace we will always be in the rear view mirrow of WOS, Silsbee and HJ in basketball, also WOS, Silsbee and BC in football. It will be hit and miss for us as long as we stay in this district. We simply do not have the number of athletes some of these bigger schools have. Orangefield needs to have their athlete's playing multiple sports in order to compete. If kids start specializing the program as a "WHOLE" is doomed. That is what we are talking about RIGHT, the "WHOLE" program. [/quote] "WHOLE" program = Football program Anyone who thinks that baseball or basketball players don't benefit from actually "playing" baseball or basketball or working on those individual sports during an athletic period is in denial or truly thinks that every boy in a HS should be playing football and maybe fit in another sport where possible during those specific seasons.  That just isn't the way it is anymore.  With the growth of select baseball and AAU / summer basketball, kids have more options to develop in other sports and what some of you perceive as the "specialization problem" is only going to get worse in all classifications.  There are more options to work on the non-football sports and unfortunately, some of the better athletes may like those better than football and shockingly choose not to play.  Baseball and basketball players get next to nothing from doing football offseason workouts during their specific season.  The workouts should be sport specific, especially during the course of the season and if a kid chooses to specialize, he should not be looked at as letting the football program down.  I know this is Texas and football is king, but some of the arguments on here are ridiculous. [/quote] It will never get worse at the 4A and 5A level, plenty of kids to go around. 3A and down is a different story. All of you that approve of specializing I have never heard you once mention track, powerlifting, cross country, tennis or golf, just basketball and baseball. Are those the only two sports. I have never looked down on a kid for not playing football. My son only played basketball. Some schools make their basketball players run cross country, would you say they get nothing from that? Offseason football is a lot of conditioning and agility drills and I guess that does not help other sports. I agree the weight training could be a little different but to say the offseason football workouts do not help at all is a little ridiculous in it own self.  99% of the kids at Orangefield will not play at the next level on any given year. That is not being cruel just a fact. Here is another fact, lets say Orangefield does away with football all together will the other sports improve? No, it will not. All it means is more kids will be walking the halls instead of being involved in a sport. Lets talk about baseball, Bridge City has twice as many kids playing baseball than we do. Hard to compete with that and that is why we only beat them when a special group comes through. See, I care about every sport and in order for Orangefield to Progress as some of you say. We need kids to play multiple sports. You sound like you are from the "ME" generation, well I am from the "WE" generation. [/quote]Im tring to follow your logic.  Are you trying to say kids should only work on the sport that is in season... except football...  because your football team has not been a successful as you would like??  That schools should cut their athletic programs during the day (when you say specific it means football as well)... and only work after school.. not very smart for any of the programs... I understand where you are coming from... you are saying Baseball and Basketball are "taking athletes"... Making it hard to win on the football field...  The same problem HJ and Kountze has now... most of the "Athletes" play only Basketball...  SO HOW DO YOU FIX IT?? IMO.... *Hire the right coaches. If a coach is worries about just his sport and persuades them to play only one then get rid of him/her.  They all have to be on the same page. *Create a Weight training class for all Freshmen who play in ANY athletics.  Make them work out even on game days.  Make them bigger stronger faster. *Win at all levels esp. the lower. Don’t just worry about the Varsity and give them most of the reps... Why do most kids quit programs... not getting playing time or they don’t like getting their teeth knocked in every week.  If you win at lower, kids stay in the program.... *If a kid quits a sport, don't allow them to play another sport until that sport they quit is done for the season.  Teach them to finish something they started. A good life lesson.. *Educate the kids AND  THE PARENTS  about athletic scholarships... let them know how hard it is to get one, how much grades are important and what NCAA allows each sport to have to spend. Most kids quit a sport because they want to "concentrate" on one to get a scholarship.  Their parents spend lots of money on private lessons and select teams. Most do not understand that baseball D1 schools only get 11.7 scholarships to a 30+ man roster. They would be better off just saving the money and putting it into a scholarship fund for their kids. As for sport specific athletic periods you have to keep them.  If a kids wants to play one, then let him get better at that sport. There comes a time where you just can’t play all the sports.  I played in High school: Football, basketball, baseball, cross-country, track and club soccer.  They just kept interfering with each other. By the time one finished you were in the middle of another sport. esp. at HJ when we won to state in 91 or had deep playoff runs.  So I had to give up some..  By my Sr. year I was only playing Football and Baseball.  It’s a decision every kid has to make at one point in time.  Let the kid make his OWN mind up and support it...

You cant just have practice where one hits and the rest shag... that is stupid... set up stations where 4 in a group (working on a specific swing) @ 5 min a station... 7 stations = 21 kids getting plenty of reps in 35 min.... I was a three sport kid and went to HJ from 89-93. So I care about all sports. The best way to run a program is to have a Freshman weight training class for all who particpate in ANY athletics.... and they lift no matter if they are in season or not.... who cares about the Sub Varsity games... as long as the kids are getting stronger, faster and better skills. when they get to be more than higher than that leave them alone. You cant make a kid play so why burn him because he says no.. should all football players not practice football during the period just because they are done and they wont play baseball??.... no... thats stupid.....

[/quote] The UIL does not allow a team to start practicing before the mandated date. So if they work on batting, throwing, catching, dribbling and shooting before that date it is against the rules plain and simple. What they do on their spare time is their business. I agree some are not football players but why should the football players not have the adaquate time to prepare just like the kids who only play basketball. It that fair for the football players just because they chose to play football? Its a double egde sword. You have to think about every kid in every sport not just the one your kid is playing in. [/quote]HMMM YES UIL does allow a team to start practicing before the mandated date. Its called fall ball. Now the head baseball coach of the school can not coach them there but he can appoint the right person to run the team. He can teach him/her how to run practice and what to look for.. so they can practice as a team.  Also during the athletic period they are allowed to throw, catch, hit.....with the coach there. and yes football players are allowed to practice before the season starts.... its called 7 on 7 during the summer.. or Spring Football with pads. As for should 3A teams have separate specific sport periods...YES... Its not fair that a kid can not get practice during the period just because they do not play football.  But It has to be done right and the RIGHT COACHES need to be hired.  A coach should not persuade a kid to stick to one sport.
