Finally, Indyeagle09 shuts up

Is Sisco hurt, or will he be able to play? I heard he had a hamstring injury is that correct?

I will definitely agree with you that Alumbaugh was not aggressive on the bases, but if you had seen this year you would have realized that Brown's coaching was too aggressive at times. They were stealing all the time, and sometimes it worked, but against better competition it got them in trouble quite often. Example A, the first Overton game that they lost in the district tourney. He had a kid steal when we were down by one run, the kid got picked, and they totally lost all momentum. And there are many other examples of that. A happy medium between the two coaches would have been nice, but I would rather give myself a chance to get a hit instead of having an out on the base-paths. Again, if you had been around the program this year you would probably not have the same opinion.

Here's a record for ya: Franklin Rebels: Robertson-1 Bein-1 Sistrunk-2 Patton-1 Falletta-1 Total: 6 Last year's total from Corban Joseph: 16 hmm.....

I don't think you are giving enough credit to Alumbaugh. He added organization and structure to a team that hadn't known the meaning of hard work before he came to Franklin. And yes, Franklin made it to state three out of four years when Brown came, but it's mostly because they had great players who went on to play in college. I don't know the exact count, but it has to be around 20 players that went on to play in college. Whenever a team has that many quality players in a short span of time, they are bound to have success with a little bit of organization and structure. If you had been at Franklin this year you might have a different opinion.

I definitely agree, Moore should make the all-district team, but in my opinion to win MVP you have to take into consideration other things than just stats.

When is the all-district team announced?

From what I've seen a few have to be Little and Young from Franklin, Betts, Patterson, and the SS from Overton, Kemp from Centennial, Shelton from Brentwood Probably Betts over Moore, I think they have to take into account the character of an individual for an MVP, not someone who behaves like Moore

Maybe it would not have made a bit of difference, and I'll definitely hand it to Overton they can hit a fastball, Franklin may have played differently if they hadn't known that they had to win a double header to advance. Who knows, and I'm not trying to make any excuses here, but maybe Franklin would have played differently if it had been just one game at a time. I think most people thought Overton didn't have any pitching left (which they really didn't, Franklin would have hit that pitcher hard most days out of the week, but I'll hand it to him he did a great job) so some may have been looking ahead to Indy already, especially since it was the same day. Again, I might be wrong, but you never know what could have happened. On another note, congrats to Indy and Overton, neither will have a problem getting past district 12 teams. Good luck in your sectionals and represent District 11 well!

Overton threw Harton last night, he couldn't throw strikes and they had to take him out early. I don't think Overton has anybody left to pitch tonight. Last night was most definitely not a fluke, Franklin simply out-played, and more importantly out-pitched Overton. There's a fine line between being confident and then being arrogant, annoying, and just plain stupid. You have exceedingly crossed that line. Should be a good couple of games tonight no matter who wins.

Seems like there wasn't much more rain after your first post brookspw, was the field already too wet anyway?

With rain throughout the state, would TSSAA let district play end the 10th, since that would not hinder any region play, since that starts the 11th?

Finally, an intelligent post from Indyeagle. There would be no reason that the tourney would have to be done by Wednesday when the next round isn't until May 11th. The 10th is right.

Holy crap you are an idiot. I'm not going to predict anything on here because I really think the championship could go to anyone right now. I don't think that Overton will win it because they don't have much to play for, and they're not playing well right now, it's not that they don't have the ability, I just don't think it will happen. To me, it is probably going to come down to Indy, Franklin, and maybe Brentwood and Ravenwood. I think Franklin might have drawn a better seed by losing their last two and playing Centennial and Overton instead of Indy, Brentwood, and Ravenwood. Should be a great week of baseball.

The district tournament winner is automatically the #1 seed in the region, so if Overton were to lose in the district tournament they would be the #2 seed. Essentially, it doesn't matter though because district 12 is awful every year. Will you reveal yourself after this year, assuming you are a senior???
