Wow!  Another clutch HR for Livingston to win a game.

[lionbaseball]

Is LC-M saving all their pitching for nederland? they went through 4 pitchers tonight? can somebody explain?

[Whereisthelove?]

Did Livingston throw their #1 pitcher or are they saving him for the playoff clincher against Vidor?

[lionbaseball]

Andrew Lantrip (sophmore) started for Livingston who is the number 2

[roar!]

way to go lions!! an exciting game to watch...way to hang in there and win it!!  ;D...with a week off til vidor, everyone on both teams should be ready to go...hopefully it'll be a great game, playoff spot on the line!! go lions....

[oldollie]

The Bears were just giving some kids who have not thrown in awhile a chance to get some work. That is taking nothing away from the Lions they played hard the whole game.

[Bigdog]

Do you really believe that? Lcm had a chance to at least tie for the DC if they had won. Although and outside chance.

[oldollie]

I not only believe it but was there and saw it. You will need pitching in the playoffs with 3 game series and it is more important to be ready. I know who pitched do you? Besides what a bulldog thinks means nothing to me!! :D

That's what I was wondering. They could be the district champions but they decided to let some kids throw?

Hmmm........

[oldollie]

Which is more important? Being ready to make a run in the playoffs by having pitchers ready, or being co district champs maybe? Plus LCM threw guys they could have won with, how about you give the Lions some credit!

Griff is one of the smartest baseball guys around.  He will have his team ready come playoff time.  I'm sure he wanted to get some guys innings and also was looking at possible playoff matchups when deciding on his pitchers last night.  I would imagine he will do the same against Nederland next week.

Coaches do not play to lose. Maybe, just maybe, the Lions were the better team last night.

If you read my post I said LCM threw pitchers they could have won with. I also said to give the Lions credit. No one has said anything about losing on purpose, at least not me.

LCM had the greatest of confidence that the Bulldogs would beat Ozen,  although apparently that was looking doubtful for a while today.

Yes the Lions deserved credit, a lot of credit.  Their pitcher, #13 __________ (fill in the blank Roar!) went the whole game getting better as the game went on.

LCM left a lot of runners on base and were certainly in a position to have had more runs on the board.

The LCM players were told before they left for Livingston that they would be throwing several pitchers that night.

[roar!]

#13 is Andrew Lantrip a Sophomore
