Nederland @ LCM Predictions

[PhatMack19]

Game tonight at 7.  Should be a good one.


Who wins?

[UTfanatic]

Nederland

[TURN2]

Bears are going to be hungry tonight but I think the Dogs may be a little too tough. Wind is going to be a big factor tonight at the Gibb.

Nederland 11
Lcm 9

[Guest hottestbats]

It will be extremely tough for LCM to score 9 runs against Brown. Nederland 7 LCM 1

[Bear Country]

When LCM can hit they will score some runs, But when they are slumping they may just put one up on the board. I'll let ya know after i hear how the first inning goes. I gotta see which Bears show up.

I wouldn't say their team is slumping. It's probably due to facing good pitching.

[Critter]

WOW... this is gonna be a great game..... I would have to give the edge to LCm with them being at home.
LCM-4
NED-3
8 innings

[scapegoat]

Just heard game is cancelled and moved to wed.Nederland has a dry field and is ready to play but Griff does not want to give up home field advantage.My question is if PNG and Central are switching fields and moving up game times why are NED and LCM not doing the same thing.LCM would get the last home game of the season.Playing wed. is a joke! If  you have looked at the weather.Could it be that LCM is trying to back the game up into the holiday weekend in hopes that NED will save Brown for PNG on tues.Should not be able to cancel a game if the other team has a dry field.

[LION DAD]

nederland will win easy

LCM needs this win. I'm not saying they are slumping but losing 3 straight after starting 4-0 in district may cause reason for concern. IMO nothing wrong with Griff wanting to keep the home/away schedule as it was set. I'm sure there is a legitimate reason to move the game to tomorrow, otherwise this would be a reoccurring issue and a much bigger problem.

I'm going with LCM 5-3 considering the Bears are able to get into the bullpen for more than one inning. If Brown goes 7, Ned may pull it out...

[scapegoat]

If LCM's field was to wet to play on.Why was it ok for LCM varsity to practice on it today.People had visual of them doing so from a middle school track meet at LCM.I guess it is fair to send your sub varsity teams to the opposing teams field and then hold a practice on a field that is to wet to play on.NED varsity can't practice because sub-varsity playing on NED's dry field while LCM's varsity gains a extra day of practice on a field that is to wet to play a real game on.Is this fair play!

[lcmfan]

According to the kids, home plate was playable, mound playable, but infield dirt unplayable. They were not able to practice on infield dirt today as you make it sound like.

I was also told they were trying to just get loose in outfield grass in pe class and were shut down on that by more rain showers today around 1:30.

[scapegoat]

Practice was taking place at 4;45 today.LCM has pulled off a retreat and regroup strategy.In the process turned the tough schedule over to NED.NEDERLAND will play Vidor,LCM and PNG in a six day period.Then face Livingston three days later.Can't believe LCM is getting away with not playing tonight when everyone else in the district did play.I hope bad karma lands on LCM for these underhanded actions.Unlike LCM ,I am sure the Dogs will play the schedule that is handed to them.Show them how to fight like a BULLDOG!

If the field wasn't playable, then it wasn't playable. LCM will be hungry in this game after losing the last two, and since its at the Gib, LCM wins 5-4. Gonna be a good one.

When a coach is allowed to make the call on the field conditions,I am sure his judgement could be clouded to benefit his team.The district has pour rules IMO.If you can't play on your field you should have to play on theirs.A coach could turn on the water all night to make his field unplayable.Bull Durham!

[thedogs1987]

Tues, Wed, It doesn't matter....Dogs are ready.

Any coach who doesn't do everything in power to help his team is NOT worthy of the title.

Coaching is 90% luck and 50% brains.


Dogs pound LCM with Brown on mound.  I'm not over confident just know what Brown will do and what mind set LCM will be in. 

Dogs win!

I think someone is bitter that NED's coach isn't as smart as Griff.

We got another bitter fan, why are y'all so concerned if y'all are going to "mop" the floor against us? the game got moved back one day so what. 

[WOSgrad]

Okay, this needs to stop.  There were a number of games in venues that received a lot less rain than Orange where the game was postponed yesterday because the field was unplayable.

I totally agree. If Brown and the Bulldogs are gonna dominate anyways, what does it matter that the game is moved back one day??

[scapegoat]

Weather was predicted to be worse on wed. than tues. Which would move the game to the weekend.It would have made it very tough on Nederland.Would have allowed the bears to get the bad taste of Lion out of their system with a win on Thur.Then face the Dogs on Friday.Game should have been played at Nederland yesterday.Why do the wright thing today and not yesterday?IMO I think he was banking on getting thru tues. there would be nowhere to play on wed. according to the forcaste.Funny how the weather worked out today! You know what they say about Karma!
