westend1 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Brook has now played or scrimmaged most of the teams in the district. As a non-biased observer, it seems to me that Nederland is clearly better than the others. PNG, Livingston, LCM and Vidor seem about equal. They all have decent pitching and average hitting. Ozen has a nice pitcher, but they need more players. I don't see them being in the hunt. Haven't seen Central, but I assume they are still Central.
OleYosemiteSam Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 I can only assume that, in your opinion, Lumberton wasn't even worth mentioning.I think this should be a fun season! ;D

They have a dominant arm in Sanderson and have the offense that is capable of putting up crooked numbers against anyone.

PNG has underperformed IMO but if Ashworth gets rolling then this team should win just about every game he throws in. Vidor has some pitching but is also underperforming IMO and their offense is just too inconsistent. Lumberton is inconsistent in every facet of the game it seems , and I dont believe they have the stud arm to win low scoring games against other top aces. Ozen and Livingston are both good when their #1 is on the mound but they just dont have enough around them to be consistent.

Critter Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 I still think it will be between NED, LCM, PNG....... you can never count out PNG and LCM.

Ballplayer14 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Nederland has looked very good thus far. LC-M has had good pitching but I haven't seen them enough to know about the offense. From what I have seen, PNG is havin trouble with the bats but Ledoux is dealing and will keep them in games when he is on the mound. Vidor has the pitching to compete for a spot if they can swing it. Lumberton has been on and off but showed the ability to compete with good teams in the LCM tourney and beating undefeated HJ last night. Livingston and Ozen both have a good number 1, but lack depth on the bump. Good luck to Central.

Clearly Ledoux is already rolling right now and the Indians have been great with him on the bump. But that being said, (depending on how your schedule falls) having a 1-2 you can throw out there and be the favorite every night is the key in district play. I picked PNG to win district this year back in January and if Ashworth can get on a roll (and if Ledoux can continue doing what he has done) I think there is a good chance this team could give Nederland a run for the 20-4A title.

Regardless who "you think" is the #1 is they are both quality arms.Rake1
Brubaker Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Lance is a high quality pitcher and competitor, the matchup against Nederland will be very interesting. Nederland's team chemistry appears to be a strong suit along with good pitching and defense, a quality dugout is a key to a special season... Nederland appears to have that... throw in some timely hitting and the Dogs just flat out will be tough to beat. This entire senior class from Nederland just appears to know how to WIN, they are WINNERS, just a special group. No matter who was favored early or what the slate looks like now, I expect them to COMPETE until the last out of the season and I expect that may be a ways out.
Bear Country Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 I don't think we are talking about the same LCM. Of course we aren't gonna hang ever thing out on the line before district starts. Y'all just and wait and see. The Bears got plenty of talent and are on the prowl. 8) 8)

IronMike Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Right now it appears Ledoux and Leckich is PNG's top 2 pitcher's. Ashworth is 0-3 and I'm sure he will be on a short leash if he gets a start.

IMO. Ive seen them all pitch and as of now, and based on their performance so far, that should be the order. Too many walks for Ashworth up to this point, but he looked alot better the last game against Arlington.
