Here is the facebook post for y'all

 

I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!

And yet the baseball team still won🙄

They should hire him for the brand new 'Ambassador of All Things Nederland Football' position.

Having your best players for a playoff run is usually pretty important.  The loss last night matches them up with Friendswood in the 1st round.  On the bright side y’all shouldn’t have to worry about baseball after next week and can carry on with football in April.  

[1989NDN]

What are the rules for pitching in HS playoff baseball?  In a three game series can Nederland pitch their ace in games 1 and 3?  If so, why can't Nederland beat Friendswood or anyone else in a three game series?  Throw the ace in game 1 and get the W.  Next man up in game 2 and see what happens.  If there is a game 3, throw the ace again and roll the dice.  Is there an innings limitation for pitching in HS baseball?  I'm not saying ruin the kid's arm or future D-1 career, but ride him as far as possible in the playoffs.  Just need the bats to get hot.

Even if they would have won, Nederland finished 3 and has the same match up. Don’t act like the lost made that happen

Each pitcher gets 110 pitches for that series.

Nope it just shows the your QB coach/AD values football practice over other sports.

Normally when you have that happen you see many of your athletes play only one sport.

Just shows that you and a few others are on this thread to stir the pot,  and maybe a little worried about possible success next year?

They would have played PNG for the 2 seed, so don’t act like you know what you are talking about.

Be willing to bet there are more people worried about the lack of success than success at Nederland.

I see them winning 2 district games maybe 3 next year. 

If you are looking for success at Nederland in the next couple years your best chance will be baseball.

Time will tell but it doesn't seem like people are buying into what the new coach is selling.

They could hire Nick Saban or Andy Reid and you wouldn't buy in.

They know more than the coach. Maybe they will quit football. If you cannot stand the heat get out of the field house. Coaches do not want these grumblers anyhow.
