You are doing nothing but trying to start trouble because of the BR situation. I would have thought better?

 

Sad

 

 

Start Trouble??? You have got to be kidding!! All i am is requesting a place for the Jr. Babe to play, where it has since being moved to the field at the high school. If u will research u will see the field was but there for that reason.. New Director seems to think not but Grants were received for that field to be used by the babe Ruth.... My sons are out and I'm fading out, but a lot of memeriors are there and I would like to see the Babe Ruth continue at its present location. Only a few of you are wanted it stopped... As for Coach Payne, I havent said anything neg. about him or Mr. Alexander. Payne is probably the best I have ever seen, I only disagree with Pitchers not Batting... Just a disagreement like me and you are having on this Jr. Babe Ruth Field. I don't understand what you have against the Jr. Babe Ruth.

Well my interpretation on the matter, albeit probably doesnt amount to much, is that the coaches want the pitchers during the game to concentrate on pitching. I think all players should get a chance to hit, but if a particular kid is struggling with the bat and is pitching that game, then why put double pressure on him when struggles at the plate sometimes leads to mind games and struggles on the mound.

i know exactly how this feels cause im goin through it right now. there are these little things that get overlooked in all sports. its called "roles." i have accepted my role as a pitcher because this is the way my coach thinks i help the team. and that is my number one goal in baseball: HELP MY TEAM WIN!!!! if he wants me to fill up cups with water for my team i will do it to help my team. role players are the most underrated athletes in the world. for example, a setup man has one job to do to help his team win. get through usually one inning and allow no damage so you can get your closer in there the next inning to close the deal. another example and different sport special teams players for football. if those players dont do their roles its 6 points on one play. alot of football games are won on special teams.

 

bottom line, i love the great game of baseball and if my coach says that i get to play the game, big or small role, then i will bust my tail to do my job to help my team win!!!

 

and for the record, i dont get to take battin practice either!!!

Wow, I've never seen a high school coach with this kind of philosophy. I've seen defensive players DH ed for but never a whole group like pitchers. Most quality high school pitchers are very good athletes and I can't believe that they can't hit. Case in point, Class A Forrest last year had Mikey Minor. Left hander, good fastball, major league changeup. Drafted by the Devil Rays. Pitches for Vanderbilt. #1 college team in the nation right now. 3-0 as a true Freshman. Holds State Record for strikeouts in a 7 inning game at 21. Gave up one earned run his senior season. Batted over .450 with 17 homeruns on the 2006 Class A State Runner UP Forrest Rockets. This coach would not even know what his player is capable of.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
