QUOTE(GradfromtheNest @ Mar 21 2007 - 10:36 PM) 826419858[/snapback]The Owls go down to McMinn County tonight at the nest. I think it was 16-11?? The Cherokees hit well.

 

 

I don't think it was a case of anyone hitting well it was a case of the Owls defense couldn't play

dead in a cowboy movie. Second baseman had 4 errors in two inninngs. When you don't throw strikes

and you don't make routine plays you will not beat good or most bad teams.

 

Last night was the worst performance I have seen from an Ooltewah baseball team in the last 5 years.

 

Based on the team that is being put on the field right now I do not see them better than 500 this year.

 

They need to rethink thier stategy of living off the 3 run homer and learn to play a little small ball.

I'm not opposing anything you said...but McMinn did hit well. Granted, they hit when bases were juiced because of walks or errors...but still, Jeremy (on his better days) is one of the better pitchers in the area. McMinn had a couple long balls and I saw several solid hits.

 

The Owls will be fine. They need some confidence. More than anything though, they need some support from the fans in the stands. I'm not saying it's not ok to disagree, but some support would be nice. They'll be fine..it's way too early to be giving up on them.

I miss it too! Time is the biggest factor. I still have the domain name, but I need more time. Considering the cost of hosting it and the time I spend every day updating it, I lose money. If anyone's interested in helping out or helping find advertising, I'd reconsider doing it again. Please be clear, I'm not in it for the money. But spending 2 to 3 hours per day and still going in the hole isn't cutting it. Plus, I've been out of ball since 2002 and my brother got out last year, which hurts me when it comes to knowing about the players. I need some help with content! There's a bunch of NEW guys out there!

Its not as much the money as time. If I could do it in an hour a day I would. But we're talking staying up till 3AM when the Times Free Press publishes their newspaper online to get scores and stats. Around 3 hrs per day. And my point with the money was....as that and still in the red.

 

Anyways, back to the tournament. I wasn't able to catch any games tonight. Any scores?

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
