Good game for the Warriors. Bell pitched a great game giving up only three hits. Their #3 hitter did not do anything at the plate which was key. Bell force him into a 1-6-3 double play and struck him out. Their #3 hitter did walk with a man on in the sixth. Their shortstop played a good game at short for the Irish. Marion did a good job of putting pressure on their starting pitcher and the Irish at the plate and while on base. Gongratulations Warriors, now lets go and win a few tournaments.

Smart move by the Marion coach and pitcher walking Eberle in the bottom of the 6th when he was the tying run, even with a runner on first.

 

I don't blame them, I would be afraid to pitch to him too, in that situation.

 

Congrats to the Warriors. Smart baseball, good win.

 

Old Pirate says, Sounds as if the warriors may have been a little weary.. but it worked out for them. Sometimes it pays to play a little chicken. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Old Pirate, you should know.......Justine Bell and "afraid to pitch to him" are two things that simply don't go together. Good pitchers beat good hitters most of the time. Thats baseball. There was a runner on first Eberle's second time up; he hit into an easy Double Play. Eberle walked his third time up, final count 4 and 1 (I think). He didn't get much to swing at, but he didn't draw an intentional walk either. Any pitcher that doesn't throw effectively and carefully to Eberle will regret it. Tuesday JB pitched well, the Marion defense backed him up (BTW great catch Ben Murphy), and the Warriors earned a well deserved regular season District title.

JB certainly did not intentionally walk the big man. Actually, the count was 3-0, when instead of throwing ball four and putting him on, he fired two inside pitches for strikes before missing high for ball four. As far as JB is concerned he has to be the most underrated player in our area. He does not have a loss in over two seasons on the mound and this year his ERA is 0.00. He is also hitting around .500 and has one of the best gloves around. And before somebody asks no I'm not any relation to him but would be proud if I was.

"Eberle's second time up; he hit into an easy Double Play"

 

LOL....that was one of the hardest hit balls of the night, almost taking the pitcher's head off. Credit to the pitcher for making a good, quick reflex play. But I'm sure he would tell you, it wasn't "easy."

 

And yep, that's my two cents. Walking Eberle, "intentional" or not, saved the game for MC. And that's smart baseball.

Even in the majors, you don't let a superstar beat you.

"Easy" meaning not even close at first base. Yes, it was a hard hit one hopper back to the pitcher. JB made the play look easy. I wonder, why aren't the ND fans giving some credit to the players who actually got a hit in this game; some player actually had an RBI. Instead you want to concentrate on Sam Eberle going 0 for 2 with a walk.

HA-HA, there nohope. Old Pirate knew he'd rattle someone cage. OP is not putting down playing a little chicken or carefully. Sometimes it's the best thing. Take Ali against Foreman, the rope-a-dope worked. He could never stand toe-to-toe with Big George and he knew. OP is not implying the warriors could not stand toe-to-toe with the irish. Again congrats to the warriors on their big win and regular season district title.

OP is going to have to watch passing out too much praise to the purple nation,

OP could get mugged when in SP.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
