Congrats to Siegel and Oakland. Hopefully the weather will hold for the next couple of days. Go Stars!

My two cents. First off, congrats to Blackman for winning two in a row against Siegel but both games were close and the Siegel bats have been flatter than a pancake. I know Sisco and Bowers didn't do much at the plate and maybe that makes things even, I don't know. What I do know is that Siegel can hit, the guys have done it before both last year during the high school season and also over the summer. Don't know why we're struggling now but good hitters will hit and it's just a matter of time IMO. I just want the guys to get healthy and the bats to come around and I think both will happen before to much longer. Last nights game against the MO team was encouraging and it was pretty cool to have an NFL head coach in the house. Blackman got us early when we weren't at our best but I feel like when both teams bring their A game we as fans would have a heck of a ballgame to watch. Good luck to all and I'm sure Siegel and Blackman will get after it again at some point this year.

Na, man, coach Reavis is just trying to get the best nine on the field. Once Shafer is back in RF everything will return to normal I would guess.

What's interesting is that if Siegel can win the close games and come from behind like they did last night, once the players gel and get accustomed to unfamiliar positions and the bats get hot, could be fun to watch.

Good pitching neutralizes good hitting. Props go out to Carter Watson and Cody Barrett. Siegel and Oakland will hit plenty this year but last night was a Watson and Barrett showcase. Coach Reavis has many weapons in his arsenal and we'll see what happens with the lineup. Great job by Shaffer finding a way to get on and Robinson driving him in to tie the game. Great job by Schloss getting that bunt down and beating the throw, Pearson getting a big hit, and Mr. clutch Brady Dove driving in the winning run. Go Stars!

The season starts tonight and the weather is fine. District play is back. Gotta love it. Go Stars!!!

GO STARS!!!

After what I saw yesterday I can't even begin to imagine how the lineup will go against oakland. Coach reavis will git-r-done.

Heres what ya do. Pitch around shaffer, robinson, and schloss, then kosinski will hit one over the road. Pick your poison.

Now that's an interesting lineup. I like what coach is doing here with robinson at 3rd and pearson in LF. Good to see prather back in there. What do you think coach will do against oakland?

Did coach reavis have the same lineup at the Lavergne game?

Hey dousedablaze, your entitled to your opinion and so am I. I never dissed any of the players or coach reavis, just suggested that Siegel field it's best nine players, shouldn't be anything wrong with that. You've managed to point your finger at three players through your not so subtle discriptions that leave little to the imagination. Doesn't any coach want there best lineup in there at this level? As for pt, mine won't play varsity ball for another year or two so it doesnt matter. And another thing, I never suggested what the lineup should be, I'll leave that up to the coaches. Lighten up man.

Siegel needs their best hitters and position players in the lineup and in the right spots. The two best offensive and defensive players are currently sitting. In my opinion there are infielders that need to be in the outfield and outfielders that should not be in the lineup. Kosinski is a bonus so far with his home run production and we should be taking advantage of that. We need a dominant closer and hopefully Robinson can help us there soon. Siegel just needs to get healthy and put the best nine players on the field period. It's also the second game of the season and things will get better.

7AAA take note. There is another weapon in the Siegel lineup and his name is David Kosinski. He hit two home runs today against Columbia. A three run shot and a grand slam.

I'm no coach but I would sacrifice defense for offense until whatevers going on gets fixed. Keep the big dogs swinging so their timing is sharp.
