QUOTE(Butchie @ Feb 25 2007 - 10:30 AM) 826388328[/snapback]bug pitched three games last yr and was hurt most of the season when it came to pitching

he has always had a fastball just lack of confidence throwing it but he has it now

impossible? we won state last yr anything is possible.

he has been throwing 200 pitches a week since last season ended.

while most kids was out chasing women he was sweatin it.

he knew he would be lone senior pitching and his work ethic seems to be rewarded.

he will definaetely turn some heads

and will be greatly underestimated. was playing travel ball with Gibson County Heat a couple yrs. and travel ball since 12. has been in a lot of big games. Including making All-National team at age of thirteen as a pitcher and Gibson County Heat won 4th in the nation in Arkansas. has pitched and won games against top teams in travel ball. Can't wait to unveil his ability. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

 

I remember that team. Didn't some guys from Bradford and Trenton play on it?

QUOTE(Blue and Gold @ Feb 25 2007 - 12:01 PM) 826388415[/snapback]Not that Smith isn't a good player but if he was all that he would of already signed with someone. the HEAt were just a average team that played local ball no better that a rec. team. Maybe a AA team in TSSAA. Smiths bat is better that his pitching. I'll still take the Huntingdon team over the Rebels this year with Mckenzie being the runner-up in that district. After that the Rebels will have trouble with UC or Humbolt in the Northwest.

 

 

if i am not mistaken, Crocker played for the heat as well. If that is the case, I do not think he would play for a so so team. Do you?

/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Now we are talking about the same team. Bugs and Crocker have been friends for years. it goes back to when Cody and his all-star team won it all. Bugs and Cody did play for the HEAT WHICH WAS AN EXCELLENT TEAM and also a short stint with the Memphis Tigers. Bugs was on the Heat with crocker as well. And there was some great players from Trenton and dyer.

Holt from Trenton. Proudfit, Dethloff, and Tate from Bradford. Hickerson was on the team as well. So it is a joke for someone to say they were so, so huh? I think the final standings was 49 and 10 was the record. Copley from Dyer, Russom from Rutherford, Attales from Jackson, Cody aarnold, and if i'm leaving someone out i'm sorry but they were awesome. When they played Gant and the Cougars it was always a one to nothing game and it was a toss up til the end. Crocker played some for the Tribe and they were awesome as well. But thanks for taking me down memory lane. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

QUOTE(basser52 @ Feb 16 2007 - 07:47 AM) 826374194[/snapback]In regard to the rockets, they were not by any means a bad team. However they did lose thier ace, Mikie Minor, after last year. I do not see any better of an outcome for them this year. I do think however, if they had conserved Minor's arm against Lookout Valley last year, they could have gone all the way. I saw Minor throw with my own two eyes. If they had saved his arm that day, they couldn't have been beaten.

 

 

What are you talking about? Mikey was fine. He pitched in his normal rotation with Skelly and Burkett. The Championship game was decided on two unearned runs and Forrests inablity to adjust to Drew Hayes high outside fastball. Give Hayes credit. They gave him the outside corner and he used it. As I recall the hits were even at four.

 

And if anybody is interested Mikey threw a shutout against Auston Pea the other day.

 

And in regards to the Rockets. They lost 8 seniors. They have good players coming up but I have know idea how they will do.

And dad just supports his decisions. lol we all will have to wait and see. lol so stay tuned. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

 

As I recall Drew Hayes took a football scholarship at Bethal I think. Vanderbilt is loaded so they won't be looking for Drew Hayes.

QUOTE(bigstick#1 @ Feb 9 2007 - 10:50 AM) 826364875[/snapback]The team 2 watch has to be the rockwood tigers. They have 8 starters back plus they lost no pitching at all. They have the best offense in single A, They have shane doughty comming back, the had a monster year last year with 15 homers. Plus the have a great leader in marcus whitaker. WHo has 2 be one of the best def catchers in single a, He also is a beast at the plate he ended the year with 8 homers. YOu cant forget about bear allen who also had 8 homers last year. The only ? is going 2 be in the shortstop spot. But They Have 2 good kids Zack D, and Tinker that can step up and play. They have all the talent, 2 make it 2 the show. I dont see then getting beat by any1 in there region

 

i have 2 agree, the tigers r goin 2 make alot of ruckus this year!!!

there is no way this kid will be throwin 90mph hour this year and if he is throwin 200 pitches a week then no wonder he has arm troubles, throwin that many pitches a week is just stupid and not good for your arm at all

hurt meant he hyper extended his thumb from football weightlifting, and received a Johnathon Keck fastball to the ankle. His work-out regime for baseball is what he is used to. And by the way where did u play college ball at? You must be a baseball great to be making these comments. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
