  1. I told Limbaugh I cancelled yesterday, however they still threw it in my driveway this morning. That's allright, I was out of toilet paper! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

  2. QUOTE(magoo043 @ Apr 14 2007 - 02:50 AM) 826437235[/snapback]Oakland won big friday 13-1 and 12-0 maybe? don't remember wasn't there. but i know they were both run rules!!!

    Stender pitch?

  3. I played for Stinnet and Cecil Joyce, back in the old Babe Ruth days. These two used to cover the prep sports and they used to tell us that whoever is winning will get the most coverage. It is what it is. The complaining over one team getting more coverage is nothing new and will always go on. Obviously they don't have enough writers to be everywhere. Personally, I think Steve does a pretty good job of doing what he does with as much on his plate as has. Either way, it does get old seeing MTSU football spring practice or any offseason sport on the front page and MTSU baseball and other spring sports getting barely a mention on the 3rd or 5th page. What the high schools get now is equal to what the old little league write-ups used to be, for those that might remember, with the exception of the games that have a writer present.

  4. I dont understand why the protest would not be upheld this is a perfect example of what a protest is for rules interpertation this wasnt a judgement call this was an improper rule why was the protest denied?

    ??????? That was the question on a lot of peoples minds the other night. Motlow was put out the next day, so this is all for nill this year. However, if it happens in the future, what will happen? Will a man that seemed to think that "I'm Sorry" made it right make the same decision, or will he think about how one call might have changed the entire outcome of a regional tournament in 2006? Whoever is running the tournament in the future needs to make sure that a protest committee is on hand, has a current rule book (not one that is so old the pages are yellow, like they had the other night) and somebody that has a decent knowledge of the game of baseball is running the tournament. As I mentioned before, the question was never how the ball ended up in dead ball territory, it was how many bases should the runner get? The umpires agreed on how it got there, they just refused to look at a rule book, where it plainly states how many bases the runner is awarded, and get the call right. Umpires deserve to get credit where credit is due. No credit is due in this situation.

  5. The umpires agreed on what happened, they just refused to look at a rule book to see what the correct call to make should have been. They insisted that one base was the rule and absolutely refused to look at a rule book. I was told by an umpire that was off that game that pulling out a rule book is not proper. Well, why have a rule book if your not going to use it when a rule is in question? Dr. Layne then said that he read the rule in a different fashion than everybody else. ?????? Walters State is a talented ballclub, don't get me wrong. I just wish the proper procedures would have been taken last night and we wouldn't even be having this discussion today. It is a shame that pride came in the way and one man, not even a protest committee, had the final say on what happened.

  6. Plain and simple if the ball was deflected by the catcher, then the runner is awarded two bases. That is black and white. What did they umpire say in regards to the ruling? Did he actually see the deflection? Or did he assume the ball went straight from the pitcher's hand to the dead ball area?

    Everybody in the entire park saw it deflected by the catcher into dead ball area. The only thing in question was how many bases the runner is allowed in such instance. Burgess scores, we have a 3-3 game and Morris getting loose in the pen and who knows what happens next? Even though it is in black and white in the rule book, the umpires refused to try to make the right call.

  7. Limbaugh is at it again. Here is the revised schedule straight from the horses mouth.

    Saturday schedule is as planned with the exception of games at Lebanon H.S. and those teams have been advised of their new schedule.

    Sunday schedule is being worked on as we speak by the planning committee and will be anounced ASAP.

    Scoreboard: Cascade 10

    Northwest 0

    Everbody's patience is much appreciated!!

  8. Riverdaleman, who is the Smith you are talking going to Motlow..I thought Coach Morris was the hitting instructor at Moltlow. I havent been around Motlow for a while and didnt know they had made any changes or additions to thier staff. By the way, GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE TEAMS THIS YEAR.

     

    Aaron Smith. Coach Morris is still the hitting coach at Motlow. Aaron helps out with just about everything. He played there so he knows how they want things taught.

  9. Hawks has been keeping this group of JRs together for a few years now so i wasnt surprised by that hey is arron still going to help you this year or does he have obligations to motlow?

     

    Aaron will still be with the D'backs this summer, as will Jerry Knox and Chris Buckner.

  10. Hey we talked about yall in one of the previous threads i was wondering if you could answer a queston for me.....Usuallly you take a lot of SRs i noticed this year on your roster you have quite a few JRs why is that? Was the SR talent pool weaker or did you have trouble getting those commitments or what?

     

    Hate to say that the SR talent pool is weaker, there are several talented seniors out there. We had little trouble getting committments out of who we asked. I did notice about some OHS's JR's not being on the roster questioned. Coach Hawks let me know last summer that he intended to keep that group together this coming summer. His program. If that is what he feels needs to be done, gotta respect that. His program and 2 rings to go with it.

  11. Tullahoma is a true baseball town, through and through. It has been since '97 since they went to state, so it has been a long time coming. Their fans should be able to get a little rowdy if they want to. If you are saying they were being unclassy, I don't know, I couldn't make it. As for moving the game to Saturday, I wouldn't have moved it either. You can't bring your ace back on 2 days rest if they play on Tuesday. Reverse the role and try telling me with a straight face, that you would have moved the game. Not trying to be a jerk, just putting the facts out there. As for graduation, I think that most any player would rather graduate on the baseball diamond as opposed to a hot gym in a long ceremony. I have had quite a few friends graduate in Chattanooga or Memphis on the field and never heard the first complaint. They got to do something the rest of their classmates didn't and it was for a good reason. Good luck to T-Town and Riverdale in the state. Good luck to the 3 Diamondbacks (Morris, Darlington and Underland) and the rest of the Wildcats and Warriors.

  12. Finals From Tuesday:

    Oakland 6 vs Siegel 3

    Warren County 7 vs Lebanon 1

    Blackman 3 vs White County 2

    Riverdale 6 vs Cookeville 3

    Riverdale is regular season champions and recieves and automatic berth to the region. Limbaugh will have standings posted at www.riverdalewarriors.com within the next couple of hours.
