Alright I still have hope for the playoffs we played ok tonight , I honestly thought we would pull this one out kudos to the team from Livingston . I remember the # 6 kid from last year I think his name was Moore not 100 percent on that one but he dang sure shut us down seemed like he had like 10 different pitches lol! Is this their number 1 guy cause he has some of the the best stuff I've seen this year I had him at like 84 to 87 all night . If they got more in their aresonel they could make a good run just my opinion .

I don't think he is their number 1. I think Landrip(sp) is.

Livingston colors are Green/White.  Vidor colors are Gold/Black.  What part did big red play in this? ??? ???

Thanks for the verification.I haven't seen the Landrip kid but if he's close to the kid that threw last night then they got two excellent pitchers at the least cause the Moore kid is very Good they should make a push if they can hit

The truth about Vidor's chance to make the playoffs after the loss to Livingston is all in the numbers:

Wins:
- PNG 7
- Livingston 5
- Nederland 5 (with one game left in 1st half)
- LCM 4 (with one game left in 1st half)
- Vidor 2

If Vidor has any shot at making the post-season it has to come though wins against the teams above them. Assuming the top four teams take care of business against Central, Ozen, and Lumberton--then Vidor AT BEST will need to make up a 2 game difference with LCM (meaning Vidor will have to either beat LCM and then take 1/3 from either Liv, PNG, or Ned--or if Vidor loses to LCM then they would need to win 2/3 from Liv, PNG, Ned--all of that considering that LCM loses to Liv, Ned, and PNG--if they don't then each win LCM gets then Vidor needs another in their 3 with Liv, Ned, or PNG)

Bottom line is Vidor MUST at minimum win 4 of 7 (if LCM loses tonight and Vidor beats LCM when they face the second time) or at minimum win 5 of 7 (if LCM beats Ned. tonight)

Tough task? You bet. Possible? Yes. But a LCM loss v. Ned tonight and a Vidor win vs. Ned Thursday would be [b]HUGE[/b]! Would be nice if they made this interesting and kept this a five horse race.
To do this, they have got to look high and low for some offense because averaging 1.66 runs per game in district (minus the Central game) isn't going to get it done.
