Nederland vs. Magnolia/Predictions

[1696dogs]

I don't know if my heart can handle an extra inning game!  Saturday just about got me!!! ;)

[Titan04]

Nederland takes this series!!!

[adminbaberuth]

What will be the rotation for this series?

Will coach go with Brett Brown in game 1 ?  How will he use Lasalle in this series, he pitched lights out last week?

Word is that Duplant got released today and will be available for this series.

This little piece of information may change the rotation for the Bulldogs:

That's a fresh arm, and a stick in the lineup.

Great news!

Our pitching was good  last week, it was our bats that struggled.

That's the truth.  The Dogs are going to have to swing the bats if they want to have a chance in this series.  Against BH, Nederland scored 6 runs on 10 hits in the 3 game series.  That won't cut it against Magnolia this weekend.

Magnolia scored 26 runs on 31 hits in just 2 games against Kingwood. The Dogs better bring the big bats and hope the arms stay healthy.

[BrenhamFan]

Magnolia scored 3 runs in 2 games against us...   ;) ;D
(Kingwood Park prolly had a lot to do with it)

[baddog]

Personally, past performances don't matter. What matters is how we handle this series. Teams that make it this far have good pitching and good hitters......not something we haven't already seen.

Go Dogs!

Regardless if Smith & Duplant are available..I would pitch Brett Thursday night.

[ForeverADog]

I agree. I feel Brett Brown has earned that start. I would pitch Dup game 2 and Tyler game 3 or in relief if needed in the first two. Then have LaSalle (sp.) go game 3. With Pitts in the bullpen.

[ForeverADog]

And Fontenot in the pen as well. Didn't want to leave him out.

[Ricefan]

With #1 & #2 back, nederland in 2 ...

[dirtball]

  I'm sure Kirkland will get the nod, tender arm a month ago, should be ready.
I think he delivers the first one. Then if Green goes on game two you have your first two sitting on 88 touching 90. Green still at times will try and overthrow, but if he settles in it will be a long night.
  Dog's bats haven't impressed as of late, like their D with Sonnier and crowd, but still think good pitching will beat average hitting.

[cornhusker]

Hitting will come on in this series. Dogs in 3 games.

Anyone have the address or directions to the Kingwood field?

[WOSgrad]

The address is 2701 Kingwood Dr., Kingwood, Texas 77339

For Bulldog fans in Houston, the easiest route is North on U.S. 59, take the Kingwood Dr. exit right and proceed right on Kingwood Dr.

For Bulldog fans in the Triangle, Google maps suggests that Hwy. 90 might be the best route:  http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=humble+isd&xhr=t&cp=11&client=firefox-a&hs=jJt&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1280&bih=703&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=0,0,3159527952706342027&fb=1&hq=high+school&hnear=Kingwood,+Houston,+TX&gl=us&daddr=2701+Kingwood+Drive,+TX+77339-3797&geocode=12273543547464979026,30.045855,-95.193938&ei=dMXKTa2bJsPn0QGh9InSBw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=directions-to&resnum=2&sqi=2&ved=0CDAQngIwAQ

Kingwood is a great field. Hope the DOGS catch a couple off the net ;)

My three starters would be Dup, Brown, and Smith if needed in game 3 just to give him another week of rest on the shoulder.  Bullpen of course has shown it's depth so relief will be Lasalle, Fontentot, Pitts, Quinn, C. Richard, C. Raines, etc.  Great shape if the bats get hot again.  Dogs in 2.
