Talking trash at the opposing pitcher is bush league, and if you don't think so it's probably because you're from that school. You don't see a team like Farragut doing that, and they have 9 state titles to back it up.

Have you ever watched their antics during a game? Yelling at the opposing pitcher, the umpire, and talking trash from the dugout is as bush league as it gets.

I'm SO surprised that Riverdale participated in this... Oh wait. Talk about the most bush league team in the state, although Houston annually gives them a run for their money.

Preseason #2-3 in the state, loads of D-1 talent, and they are playing close to .500 ball in their district. This class was supposed to bring Coach Reavis another title, what is happening down there?

This is actually an issue? Sigh.. Makes you wonder about some coaches' maturity levels.

Siegel beat Blackman today 10-0 in 5 innings and are now 10-0 on the year as well.

From Monday: Siegel-26 Lavergne-0 From tonight: Siegel-11 Stewarts Creek-0

Siegel Middle School has several kids who have a chance to be special in high school if they keep developing. All are excellent two way players and already have size to play at the varsity level in high school. If these kids work hard and stay together, Siegel HS could be a baseball powerhouse I a few years.

Here's a little perspective on little league baseball compared to real baseball. My brother's 13u summer team, which is made up of kids only from his TN middle school, traveled to Myrtle Beach this summer and played the Wheeling Braves, who were in the LLWS last year. The middle school team won 19-1. The fact that ESPN gives so much airtime to this joke of a sport they try to pass as "baseball" is embarrassing. Just my two cents.

Collierville wins 6-2. Farragut couldn't overcome 4 errors and too many walks. Farragut didnt play well at all and Collierville took full advantage congrats to them on a well deserved victory.

I believe his problem is your insinuating that Tullahoma would've beaten Farragut had the umpires been "good umpires".

Farragut 3 DC 2. Great ball game.

Tullahoma just needs to tip their cap and start preparing for how they will improve next year. Whining to the media and anyone else who will listen looks bad on the whole program, which is unfortunate because it was a hard flight game and the best team came out on top.

Sorry I should've clarified earlier. I assumed you were a Tullahoma fan, and it seemed that was their main problem with the call, that it appeared to them that it crossed the bag in foul territory.

I completely agree if the heckling is done with malicious intent or if there are curse words being used. However, the kids in question yesterday (FHS's soccer team) did none of that. There's worse heckling in high school basketball by far, and there's nothing done about it.

The ball crossed the bag in the air, landed about 2 feet behind the bag, and landed on the line. Not sure where the argument is. I was sitting up in the high seats, and clearly saw the ball on the line. You don't have to agree and you can blame the umpires for your loss, but the fact is Tullahoma managed to get only 4 infield singles and one bloop-flare out of the infield off Serrano. He was just better than Sheffield yesterday and Farragut came through with clutch hits. Umpires didn't effect outcome of game.

All I'm saying is if you can't handle a few 17-18 year old saying "Hey Justin", and you handle it the way Sheffield did, then how do you expect to pitch in front of thousands yelling and screaming obscenities at you? Corbin isn't going to allow the type of stuff he did yesterday, so hopefully he learns to reign it in and show some class. Yes he's only a junior in high school, but he's also an elite prospect committed to a premier college program, I just think it's time to grow up a little.

Very unimpressed by Sheffield's attitude today. Of course Farragut's students are going to heckle him, and they weren't saying anything derogitory or obscene. What does Sheffield do? Looked over at them and grabbed his genitals on multiple occasions, and also gave them the bird. That's much more bush league than anything the Farragut kids were doing. Just surprised by the lack of class shown by many of Tullahoma's fans, players, and coaches to be honest. Guess you guys do things differently in Mid TN.

It's where the ball crosses not where it lands. The ball was fair. Serrano was better than Sheffield today and Farragut came up with timely hits, that's why they won. Show a little class and quit blaming the umpires for your team's shortcomings.
