Have you guys seen Brenham play this year? From a pitching standpoint Thames is very good but not overpowering, 83-85 mph tops...They do not have a 95mph stud ala Josh Beckett to trot out there which I think somewhat equalizes them come playoff series time IMHO. Now Brenham doesnt either which is why I think this series is a toss up regardless of records, dont let the rankings and records fool you. Denny and Wunderlich are both studs. Newman and Beasley both very good catchers. Homan and Joziwak are both good SS. Thames is probably the best pitcher in the series but Brenham has very capable arms as well. Its too bad this matchup is happening so early in the playoffs too. Anyway I hope they figure out a way to keep it a 3 game series.[/quote]Mine is more of an opinion than an assessment based on fact.

If I'm not mistaken, all of the Vidor players made it to the prom as well. I am starting to think like an earlier poster questioned....did this all come up before or after the coin flip ?[/quote]There never was a coin flip because they both decided 2 out of 3 one at each home field. Then the EOC testing thing came up after this was decided. So it was going to be 1 Friday and DH on Saturday but they agreed to DH on Friday instead of Saturday..

I could name 3 or 4 guys on the BH roster and maybe 2 or 3 on the Cubs roster. So IMO BH is deeper.I think Thames and the other guy win the first two.

bh89-2 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I have only seen BH play one game this year. The offense is pretty good. The pitching appears to be pretty good, but I have yet to see either of the top two pitch. All I know is we have allowed quite a few runs this year, but have also found a way to outscore the opponents. That being said, great pitching almost always wins at this level. I think this could be a toss up series myself. If it goes 3 games, BH takes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhdog28 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I think BH is bringing up a kid from the JV to pitch this one!! He' s something else! Thames, Hallen and the JV boy...They've got it wrapped up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Avery Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'll tell you this, BH does not have anyone that throws harder than 85 so no one to be afraid of. They do have a good offense but so does Brenham. I think Brenham probably saw better pitching in district and in tournament play early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched kids throw junk and kill a lot of teams. i.e Listi form Huffman 4 or 5 years back. nw BH has t least on kid that has a nasty curve and slider.

Peppermint Patty Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 This crappy pitching staff is something like 29-2. I guess they played a bunch of donkeys.Too much emphasis on MPH. 95 will get you paid, but 85 (with good location and good off speed) will get the job done every day. Just ask those 29 donkeys.

BH93 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 If your referring to me I certainly never said they were crappy, especially since I have kin in that line-up. They are far from being crappy or even average, theyre a talented team that should go far. I was just expressing my ONLY concern and that was it , noithing more to it. They've sure had a heck of a year and hopefully it will continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHFAN Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Remember the last time these two teams play BH whooped them sooo bad that thier "long" time coach quite ;D ;D.... is the new coach going to be able to handle it????? ;) :o ;DJust poking at Brenhamfan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Avery Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 No one said they were crappy, but its a lot easier to see another HS team especially at this late in the season hitting 85 vs 95. The level of donkey is going up lol. I'm not saying its doom and gloom for BH but the margin for error is much harder with 82-85. Not to mention the level of umpiring has been absolutely terrible this year from what I have seen so if you are depending on an umpire calling fastballs with movement good luck because they have a hard enough time calling straight over the top fastballs. Now does Brenham have the plate discipline to lay off those borderline pitchers pitches and not get themselves out? That remains to be seen and could be the key to game 1.

These are the kids listed that are pitchers for BH. 31-2, I'm sure they can get the job done.
