basbal Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Keys for tomorrows game for Bridge City. Â Need to get and early lead and keep Needville out of their small ball game plan. Â Throw strikes and make them earn their runs. Â We must establish the inside part of the plate and quit letting them just stick their bats out and punch at the ball. Â Stay aggressive on the base paths. Â Our infield might be different so it is important they the guys just try to get the sure outs. Â Good luck tomorrow Cards..................
Red1 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 I did notice we exploited the Needville catcher tonight....positive change that worked and rattled them some.I also noticed that we pitch ran for Jackson, good move should have happened last night as well.I think your best pitcher for tomorrow will have a lot of "junk" in the closet. Â A fastball pitcher won't be successful as they have shown they can hit a fastball and will sit on it if the junk is not working. Â Walks just sit you up for the "small ball" game.We need to settle down, try to play error free, drive the ball to the gaps, be aggresive on the basepaths and "push" the game. Â We have the guys for the physical part of the game, we need to have them prepped mentally as well. Â Believe in themselves, have confidence, a "want the ball" mentality.
Gabe Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Hicks wants it, I can tell you that. I talked to him several times after the game and he is still ready. They might not let him pitch though because of the injury. A back injury is way more important than a win. Two things could happen if he pitches...No. 1 - he hurts himself more and that is the last thing anyone wants. No 2 - The injury doesnt allow him to be himself and that isnt good for BC...As bad as he wants to go, rest the back and let your team take care of you. Hicks has done more for BC than anyone ever thought. BC can still do it and this set back might only drive some guys to step up.
Guest etbu Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Save me a seat EastTx headed to this one. ;D
Guest etbu Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Going to see all my buddies from BC and the GT. ;D ;D ;D ;D Think I may need a vest? 8)
EAGLE07 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Not to worry, ETBU...Eagle07 and "junior" will be there...we got your back....leave the vest at home.Â
MIF04 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 This was a roller coaster ride. BC jumps out with 5 runs (with only 2 hits) courtesy to Needville's pitcher walking/hbp/wp the Cards around the bases. After BC added a 6th run, Needville closes the gap to 6-5, primarily because BC simply couldn't make a play defensively. Dishon's 2-run single provides insurance and 8-5 lead and Meeks slams the door shut.Needville is a fundamentally sound team. Makes few mistakes (so far) and executes well. And they are just tough as nails. These guys make you respect them. BC, on the other hand, is in the proverbial state of confusion. Until they know Hicks' status for today, they do not know who will start on the hill, play SS, play CF (if Dishon pitches) or 2b (if Bolton pitches). Today would be a good day for the entire offense to show up.Cannot wait to see how this one unfolds. Hope BC is in 3rd base dugout...I wanna sit up on the hill again today.Â
SteelerCzy Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Just keep playing ball BC, ya'll are fine, Needvilles tough, any team playing this late has to be good, take care of business today. We're pulling for ya.
Guest etbu Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 Not to worry, ETBU...Eagle07 and "junior" will be there...we got your back....leave the vest at home. Is BH89-2 and BHFan coming?
expos Posted May 19, 2007 Report Posted May 19, 2007 I'd have to guess that coach Bryant won't START Hicks unless he's absolutely 100% by game time, but would use him as a reliever if things get out of hand
