GOOD LUCK MARSHALL COUNTY

BOLIVAR WILL BE PLAYING AT MARSHALL COUNTY AND GILES COUNTY WILL BE PLAYING AT LEXINGTON. PAGEMAN WHERE WILL YOU BE FRIDAY? GILES COUNTY AND LEXINGTON PLAY AT 4.

THIS WAS A GREAT GAME. LOTS OF GOOD OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. IT WAS BACK AND FORTH THE WHOLE GAME. CONGRATS MARSHALL COUNTY AND GILES COUNTY WILL BOUNCE BACK FRIDAY. GOOD LUCK DISTRICT 10.

I CAN ALSO SEND YOU ACTUAL BIG LEAGUE GAME PHOTOS OF SWINGS THAT SUPPORT WHAT I SAY. ON A LEVEL PLANE THROUGH THE BALL. THERE ARE SOME GUYS THAT HIT THE WAY THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE HIPS OPENING AND THE HANDS DRAGING THROUGH. BUT WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE TAKIN AWAY POWER TO THE OPPOSITE FIELD. THE HIPS ARE GONE AND THERE IS NO POWER LEFT TO BE GENERATED ON AN OUTSIDE PITCH. ALSO WHEN THE HIPS GO, THE FRONT ARM LOCKS OUT AND THE BAT DRAGS THROUGH THE ZONE. ANOTHER POINT, IF THE HIPS ARE GONE AND THE HANDS ARE BACK, WHAT IS LEFT TO PULL THE BAT THROUGH THE ZONE? THE ARMS. SO REALLY YOU END UP USING THE HANDS MORE. I LIKE THE SWING WERE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND THE BALL AND CAN USE ALL OF YOUR POWER. IM NOT SAYING THAT THE HIPS ARENT GOING TO DO THEIR WORK, IM JUST SAYING THAT INSTEAD OF THINKING HIPS THEN HANDS IT SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF AS MORE OF AN EXPLOSION WERE EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER.

THE SWING IS ABOUT BALANCE AND MAXIMIZING THE POWER AND ACCURACY OF YOUR SWING. A GOOD SWING IS NOT EVERYTHING TO HITTING. JUST LIKE THE GAME, HITTING IS ALSO VERY MENTAL. HAVING THE RIGHT APPROACH AND HAVING A SOLID PLAN WILL MAKE FOR GOOD HITTERS. THE SWING: START IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION. YOU WANT EVERYTHING AS LOOSE AS POSSIBLE. TIGHT MUSCLES MOVE SLOWER. THE STRIDE MUST BE DOWN BEFORE THE BALL HAS LEFT THE PITCHERS HAND. THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS. MOST TRY TO GET THEIR FOOT DOWN AS THE BALL IS ON THE WAY. THIS CAUSES MOVEMENT OF THE HEAD AND CAUSES THE BALL TO APPEAR TO MOVE MORE THAN IT REALLY DOES. IT IS ALSO HARD TO LOAD ON A 90MPH FASTBALL IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND AS ITS ON THE WAY TO THE PLATE. BEING LOADED AND READY TO HIT BEFORE THE BALL HAS LEFT THE PITCHERS HAND IS VERY IMPORTANT. ONCE THE HITTER IS IN A GOOD POSITION TO HIT, THE BALL IS ON WAY. I DONT LIKE TO TEACH THAT THE HIPS HAVE TO CLEAR THEN THE HANDS COME. I BELIEVE ITS MORE OF AN ALLIGNMENT OF THE HIPS AND HANDS. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAJORITY OF MAJOR LEAGUE HITTERS WHEN THEY HIT THE BALL YOU CAN ALMOST DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE DOWN THEIR BODY. THE HEAD, HIPS, AND HANDS ARE ALL ALLIGNED. I THINK THAT THE HANDS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SWING. WHEN THE HANDS GO SO DO THE HIPS. ALSO WHEN THE HIPS ARE BEHIND THE BALL IT GIVES YOU MAXIMUM POWER TO ALL FIELDS. SHORT TO IT, LONG THROUGH IT. THIS IS A GREAT SAYING FOR TAKING THE BAT TO THE BALL. YOU WANT TO TAKE THE HANDS FROM POINT A STRAIGHT TO POINT B. YOU ALSO WANT TO HIT THROUGH THE BALL, KEEP YOUR BAT ON A LEVEL PLANE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. THIS GIVES YOU THE BEST CHANCE OF MAKING CONTACT AND GETTING BACKSPIN ON THE BALL. DURING ALL OF THIS YOU WANT TO HAVE BALANCE. NOT WEIGHT ON THE BACK LEG OR SHIFT YOUR WEIGHT TO THE FRONT LEG. WEIGHT SHOULD STAY IN THE MIDDLE, BALANCED. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO THE FINISH. IF YOU CAN FINISH WELL THEN YOU PROBABLY DID ALOT RIGHT IN THE SWING. HEAD DOWN ON THE POINT OF CONTACT AND GOOD BALANCE.

THE TWO TEAMS HAVE SPLIT THIS SEASON, EACH TEAM WINNING TWO GAMES. WHAT ARE THE PREDICTIONS FOR ROUND 5?

THANKS FOR THE HELP. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.

THANKS PAGEMAN

yes, the system does not always allow for the best team to advance. needs to be changed to 3 game series after district.

I KNOW YALL PLAYED EZELL-HARDING EARLIER THIS YEAR. DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY STATS OR INFORMATION ON THEM?

10AA 1. GILES COUNTY 2. MARSHALL COUNTY

THE RULE IS IN AFFECT. I THINK LINTZ HAS THROWN SEVEN INNINGS SO FAR AND STOLTZ HAS THROWN SIX. IF THEY DO PITCH IT WILL BE ON SHORT REST. LINTZ THREW FIVE INNINGS MONDAY AND AROUND THIRTY FIVE PITCHES TUESDAY NIGHT. STOLTZ ALSO THREW ALOT TUESDAY NIGHT, PROBABLY CLOSE TO 85 PITCHES. TONIGHT SHOULD BE A BATTLE OF OFFENSES.

FOR THE DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP, WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT?

GREAT JOB GILES COUNTY, YOU PLAYED YOUR GUTS OUT AND JUST REFUSED TO LOSE. MARSHALL COUNTY DID A GREAT JOB. THIS IS HOW A GOOD COMPETITIVE HIGH SCHOOL GAME SHOULD BE. GOOD LUCK MARSHALL COUNTY, YOU ARE A VERY GOOD BASEBALL TEAM.

THANK YOU SUPERSPORT. YOU CAN LOOK AT UMPIRES, ALTERCATIONS, WHATEVER YOU WANT. THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT THE KIDS WIN OR LOSE GAMES.
