if the standings in 20-4a and 19-4a stay like they are now what would the playoff matchups look like can someone help out with this or is it number 1 seed from 20-4a plays 19-4a 4 seed and 20-4a 2 seed plays 19-4a 3 seed and so forth

Thats the way I see it here are the uil brackets.

This is what it would like now.

1) Nederland vs 4) Goose Creek
2) Vidor vs 3) Galena Park
3) PN-G vs 2) Kingwood Park or Crosby
4) LC-M vs 1) Kingwood Park or Crosby

Laird probally hasn't signed anywhere because of his velocity. Fastball around 78-79.

You're way off bud. Laird can and does throw mid to upper 80s. He has several schools looking at him, and I do believe he has a few offers. He's focusing on the season and worrying about college ball later, as he should be.

I don't think any pitcher in Nederland's bullpen throws below 83.  I don't believe you have watched Laird pitch.

Although velocity is a great thing to have and impresses the guys with the radar guns, control, changing speeds, movement on your fastball, hitting your spots, and ERA impress me more. It's what makes a pitcher effective. Both Nederland starters are blessed with all of these abilities.

Exactly JoesBros. And hopefully these 2 will carry us far into early june! Btw I see Vidor being district runner up tying PNG but the pirates hold the tie breaker.

The year after Nederland got knocked out of playoffs due to head to head with LCM, I was told the tie breaker was changed to be a play-in/seeding game.  Is this true or is the tie breaker still head to head?

IMO Bellow is 20-4A MVP and Laird is 1st Team Pitcher this year.  Laird has stood out and has proven he can pitch against any team.  I don't understand why he hasn't been signed yet.  No need to change the rotation.  If Nederland's bats stay hot, Bellow will only need to pitch 2-3 innings(no more than a routine bullpen) against Livingston before the coach could comfortably go to the very deep bullpen(Pitts, Smith, Brown, Raines, Brady, and Cardenas).   Bellow would then be available for relief if needed monday.  Great position to be in!  [/quote]


You heard correct.  If two teams have same record, they are tied. No matter if one team beat the other twice already or not.

imo that's a dumb rule, they should definitely go with head to head wins, then if the teams are 1-1 against eachother there should be a seeding game

You must not have seen Cody pitch in a few years.  A few games ago a guy in front of me had him on the gun.  He was working at 84-86 with a few that got up to 88.  Cody has had multiple schools contact him and some school will be lucky to get him.

Unless Vidor loses it's last two and ends in a tie with LCM, then you will want a seeding game.

i didn't base my oppinion on just this year's playoff race, i think it's dumb in general, and btw we have 2 head to head's on png, so we would have a tiebreaker on them

[NHS83LU87]

Reread my post I didn't say tie PNG.  If Vidor doesn't win monday and then loses to Livingston friday, it will be LCM that Vidor is tied with not PNG and LCM would hold that tie breaker. 

[Big Stick]

If Vidor loses 1 one their next 2 games and LCM beats liv. and Ozen. Vidor and LCM will be tied. Vidor is only one game ahead of LCM and we beat them both times this year.
