BC's bats have heated up.  But they will face better pitching than they have seen since district.  I have to pick against the OC team here.  The difference is pitching.  Silsbee has the deepest staff in the district imo.  And that is the one area where, unlike recent years, BC is weakest. 

Weaker maybe, weakest...that's crazy talk

Last year everybody was saying that we'd never beat the mighty Jack Dallas and the defending state champ Mustangs. It's baseball. Anything can happen. We know better than anybody that it only takes a single bad inning to end your season. The Tigers are good this year.  I like to think we've gotten our bad luck out of the way early this year and will end up pulling the upset and moving on.

Syntax I guess.  Or maybe poorly worded.  Meant it is where BC is weakest (vs other parts of their game), versus other years where it has been their stength.

I remember hearing about a BC sprinter saying how he was going to show a certain Silsbee runner how he was going to show him who was the fastest in the 200......that worked out for him about the same was this one will!!!

This is a baseball thread ... come on now

You are right it only takes 1 inning ... but we are talking about a series and with Silsbee pitching staff healthy and the offense putting relentless pressure on teams ... they will be hard to beat ..

Does that freshman ever throw BP?  What an outing for that young man.  BC has caught fire at the perfect time.

Off night or not, gotta put up more than 1 run.

Definitely......off night all around for the Tigers. Got to turn it around and show up big Saturday.

[CardinalBacker]

First off, I need to apologize. I was WRONG when I predicted that the Cards would win in three. 

 

I hope that you all can forgive me.

Whoa! Pump the brakes a minute CardinalBacker. I'm as big a fan of BC baseball as anybody but I can't follow you on this one. First off you need to be careful you don't anger "The Great and Powerful Homer" because his wrath will be swift and all encompassing if you get my drift. On a more serious note you have to give respect where its due and Silsbee deserves that, they have a dang good squad. To make the claim that Silsbee is only ranked because they beat BC is comical to say the least and in no way near the truth. The simple truth is that this ultra young BC team has far exceeded their initial expectations. Nobody who was honest with themselves would have believed BC would be where they are right now and that's a testament to Coach Landry and the staff sticking to their program and making the most out of the young talent. Right now it's just time sit back and enjoy this run by the young Cards because the future is ridiculously bright. By all means Silsbee should be the prohibitive favorite in the series and they should be. Silsbee, along with the other schools in the district, should enjoy this brief opportunity to "kick em (BC) when they are down" because that doesn't happen very often and will happen even less in the coming years. This series, along with the OF vs WOS series is a tribute and testament to quality of baseball played in our district. Hopefully all the games will be as advertised and one of our teams makes it to Austin.

 

Prediction.........

My realistic judgement says Silsbee.

My heart says BC.

 

Enjoy it all!

And your heart was right!
