[J-Dawg]

Now that the season has started and half the games have been played.....What's everyones points-of-view on Monterey?

They lost to wartburg 4-1 last night and they didnt impress me much at all. I seen two players get picked off at third from fakes to second thats pityful. I know a little leageu team that plays better fundimentals then that.

Evidentlly you don't know much about the game 03. Was only one out at third and that came from a 1st and 3rd situation where runner on first was stealing, SS came up and cut the throw from the catcher off and caught the runner on 3rd with too big a lead. Runner actually slipped trying to get back to the bag but should have took off for home plate as soon as the catcher threw to 2nd. And for your info, 2 starting OF, starting 1st and 2nd basemen were gone to DC for Senior trip.

Will have to say too, that the pitch for Wartburg wasn't bad.. Probably as good if not better than the best pitchers in 7A.....

[Mr. Polesit]

From what I saw against Wartburg on fri, I was impressed with a lot of the under classmen. They played good defense, made the routine plays and if not for a misplayed ball or two in the late innings, and a pitch you wish you could have back this game could have easily went the other way. They went to the plate and battled trying to make good things happen and kept their heads in the game going in to a 0-0 5th?(if im correct).

Getting the seniors back this week added with some underclassmen stepping up and things should get rollin and show the potential these guys have got!! thumb

Well even though it was a throw to second that was cut off my sons coach teaches them to watch and look for that. I know now that monterey wasnt as bad as they looked since they had seniors gone(i thought something was up). Coach Coker does a great job with fundamentals thats what he teached throughout the year every practice. Pitching i agree if i remember Daniel was on the mound a Lipscomb signee. He is the best pitcher around morgan county. Lookin at WArtburg down the road they will be tough although after this year they will lose Daniel, Jeremy, Jerreil, and matt and i think their are some more seniors. Wartburg should be good this year and years to come.

PS i know alot about the game and love the game enough to now u gotta be ready to make a split second descion on the base path. In the words of my old coach,MOVE IT OR LOSE IT

phillip2003, tell #45 to act like he's hit a homerun before. I know he was excited and I love to see kids play well on the field. But running around the bases with your finger held up in the air and talkin to your coach is doing nothing but showing the opposing pitcher up. You don't do that in baseball.... Its going to get his teammate hitting behind him plunked.. I guess he just didn't know any better.

For your information the kid did not hold his finger up while running around the bases he put his finger up when the ball went over and then put it down. Since when is talking to your coach a bad thing I'm sure if you ever hit a homerun you didn't talk to your coach either or get excited. Showing the pitcher up would be hitting a ball out on him, and well, he did do that.

He was talking to his coach while rounding second though, come on.... Your right JH, just keep bein bush-league. You havn't got a clue. Do it again and see how many times the player behind him gets nailed!!!!

Just get over it STAN he hit it over and thats all that counts. I would be glad it was just one of them that did it to you and not more.

Who cares if he was talking to his coach.Whats the big deal?

 

Wartburg has 6 seniors Jerreil,Jeremy,Daniel,Brent,David, and Donnie.

When a player runs around the bases acting like he had never hit one over before in his life with his arms up in the air yelling.......what do you expect is going to happen? The next batter is gonna get drilled with a ball. That's that.

This could be true,but a good umpire will toss them after the player is hit.
