Vidor didn't start consistently making the playoffs in baseball until it was expanded to four teams.[/quote]Easy bigdog... From 2002-2008 (expanded to 4 teams in 2009) Ned made the playoffs 3 times, Vidor made it twice. In fact Vidor has made it every year since 2007 and in those first two years that only allowed three in... Ned was the team that was the odd man out.No question that Ned is a great program with a lot of success but I would not be so quick to attribute Vidor's postseason appearances to the 4 team format...2002 - PNG, Ned, WOS2003 - LCM, PNG, Lum2004 - PNG, LCM, Ozen2005 - Ned, PNG, LCM2006 - LCM, Ned, PNG2007 - LCM, PNG, Vidor2008 - PNG, Vidor, LCM2009 - Ned, PNG, LCM, Vidor2010 - Ned, PNG, Vidor, LCM2011 - Ned, LCM, PNG, Vidor
Bigdog Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 True, and from '02 -'11 Ned has made the playoffs 6 times , winning district 4 of those years. Vidor has made the playoffs 5 times with 0 playoff wins and would have been sitting home in '09 and '11 if it were still three teams going. Notice that I said consistently made the playoffs.

[b]Notice that I said consistently made the playoffs.[/b][/quote]I did notice that you said "consistently made the playoffs." Thats why I don't see the relevance of playoff victories or district titles. Like I mentioned before, Ned has done big things and is a top notch program. In fact, if this was regarding the success of the two programs, you would hear no argument from me that Ned is the better program. However, the facts speak for themselves on the argument of "Vidor not consistently making the playoffs until the four team format". 2007 - LCM, PNG, Vidor2008 - PNG, Vidor, LCM2009 - Ned, PNG, LCM, Vidor2010 - Ned, PNG, Vidor, LCM2011 - Ned, LCM, PNG, VidorVidor [b]started[/b] their current five year streak in 2007 under the three team format. In fact, Ned [b]started[/b] their current three year streak in 2009, the first year of the four team format. Five straight has to be more consistent than three straight. Additionally, Ned missed the playoffs in 03/04, made the playoffs in 05/06, missed the playoffs in 07/08, then has made it in 09/10/11. Hardly consistent, from the way I see it. But now I'm getting off track also, as the argument is over Vidor's consistency and not Ned's. Like I said Ned has been getting it done over the last three seasons, no questions asked. But pinning Vidor's success on the four team format does not seem appropriate, given their streak started two seasons before the change and has continued since. Its true Vidor finished fourth in 09/11 but that got them in under those seasons' format and many decisions were made knowing that four got in, not three. You can't say with certainty that had it been a three team format in 09/11 that things may have played out the same throughout the season (ex. who to throw against who) and the same teams would have certainly made it. They played and made decisions based on the given format at the time.

Hobbs Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 They are talking about the Duplant kid who transferred to Nederland from H-J last year. Completely different district race last year if he doesn't land at Nederland. He was the best #2 pitcher in the district as a soph. He was arguably their best returning player as he would have been their ace/3b and middle of the lineup bat. Without him, Nederland has taken a step back obviously. It's very unlikely he will play varsity baseball in 20 4A this year unless it's at Nederland. No way Nueman and Robbins sign off on his papf. This year's district champ will be determined the last week of April.
lionbaseball Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Posted March 11, 2012 Now that preseason is over and district starts Tuesday the next 7 weeks should be very interesting.
