Congratulations to Gibbs High School on a good win last night. You all have a very good and very deserving ball club in Corryton.

 

Cyclones, its hard to have to go home but we ran into stiff competition. Gil Payne has taught these young men how baseball should be played. I love watching them. Also, this group has brought the PRIDE back to Elizabethton. I also want to thank all the seniors for their hard work towards this program. They will be sorely missed the next time the Cyclones suit up.

 

However, has anyone seen a worse officiated game. Now Im not going to take any credit from Gibbs, because they were a great team, but this game ends up differently if the men wearing navy would have been more consistent. But thats my opinion. I just want to see what everyone else has to say.

 

Again, congrats to both Gibbs and Elizabethton for a great year of baseball.

Congrats to Gibbs they have a good team ! As far as the umps they were the most unprofessional crew I have ever seen in my 49 years on this earth,the plate umpire was so in consistant that I really felt sorry for the pitchers and hitters they had know clue what to do , both of theses pitchers pitched the corners and sometimes they got it and sometimes not it was terriable,they didn't know how to work a 3 man crew they would have the 1st base ump at first when no one was their and a runner on 2nd ,when he was on first he stood their with his hands in his pockets and not even looking in to home most of the time,they never rotated when they should and the 1st base ump shure didn't know what a balk was and didn't care,their was runners on 1st and 2nd and a ball hit back to the pitcher he threw to 3rd and the field umpire was looking at 2nd for some reason and the plate umpire didn't see it either so he called him safe,they also was not dressed like we are taught to dress they just were so unprofessional ! then in the 7th Elizabethton loaded the bases and gibbs coach came in and started arguing they should have another run on the board we all knew it was to stop momentam and it lasted 22 mins with ofcourse the plate umpire not taking charge,then the gibbs coach and gets into it with Coach Payne and none of the umpires was even watching,they need to be turned into TSSAA for the lack of controling a game and the plate ump a couple of times was caught talking and laughing with the 1st base coach of gibbs,now how would this have changed the game we will never know I'm not saying the Cyclones would have one but it was a 2 run game in the 6th,I feel for the players that they had to play through this it's a shame the game is about kids and the umps should give it their all,as for the seniors at Elizabethton it was a great ride and I only wish was for the 3 senior pitchers who never got to hit or play another postion if you were able too what if?Good Luck Gibbs maybe you will get better umps next week!

    • middle school kid and a freshman from what I’m told. 
    • While one may be inclined to perceive this narrative through a lens of fiction, it behooves us to recognize the inherent robustness of its credibility. For those seeking veracity, the surest path lies in direct engagement with the primary source. Let us adhere diligently to the matter at hand, focusing our deliberations on the matter of paramount importance: the identification of the individual most suited to assume the mantle of head coach. I invite introspection and discourse regarding not only personal preferences but also the criteria defining merit and suitability for this esteemed position.
    • If it’s one single kid then that argument would make sense. He’s essentially had to replace his entire coaching staff in the first two seasons, and like it’s been pointed out only one left for a better job. The two most talented players in the area both left, and number of others are actively trying to leave, including the head basketball coaches son. Also, the rumors of financial problems and over spending by Jones. Unpaid bills, missing money, inability to fundraise, has the boosters sick of being hit up for money.    Im saying that is the definition of a poorly run disorganized program. If you want to pretend it’s a well oiled machine maybe you should take your maroon glasses off. All I know is I wouldn’t let my boys play in that kind of mess. 
    • It usually gets tiresome when posters play characters on the board, but I must admit that I’ve found some humor in wingback’s take on this art form.  However, his rundown on the potential candidates seems as much fiction as his persona!
