Okay D, I surrender! But, after Zollman, none of 'em measure up in my book. We all have our faults I guess. I just think BJ is being too hard on A. It seems personal and may should be taken up in person rather than on here.

 

Predictions: Volunteer 7-2

The Hill 11-1

South 4-2

East 6-2

Crockett 7-4

 

P.S. Put all your money on Mine That Bird in the Derby!! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Back at ya! Got your OLE-Timey A** Whooping Also! WTG REBELS! Bet those DB parents ran fast.

It was a good game except for one inning that we walked 4 batters.The ump decide to call a hit batsman when the batter didn't even know that he had got hit by the pitch,talk about a fluke call.The pitch was up around his head.First time all year that coach Ritz argued with an ump on a terrible call.Not to take anything away from South ,Archer pitched a good game.

Both teams seemed about equal to me,South won but I wouldn't call it an A-- whopping like Volunteer got from Central last night.It was South's night. The DB parents didn't run anywhere.We walked out with class pal.Get you some.

How about them east patriots beating boone 11-7. way to go east.it has been said by many on this thread that anybody can be beat in the Big 9 this year. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

 

I said earlier in the week that I thought there would be some upsets. 4/5 for the weekend. Crockett beat THS.

 

And Central would have beat SH if they had not changed their minds and pitched D-No. I must say he pitched a great game or they could have still lost.

 

This was the day that the umpires changed the tournament. In the DB/South game, the umpire changed his strike zone during the game and Archer adjusted better than Harvey.

In the second game, the home plate umpire was giving Des 12-18 inches off the plate and Connell very little. He also blew two calls on the hit by pitch while trying to bunt and the play going to first where he signalled out then changed his mind.

In the third game, the home plate umpire being taken off in an ambulance was a big distraction.

In the fourth game, D-No was getting a big zone, especially with his curve and Harmon's was tight. the last pitch could have changed everything when Harmon was rung up on a 12 inch inside pitch with him being the tying run.

 

I just don't like to see the umps take the light but that is Big 9 ball whether it is football, basketball, or baseball.

 

i still think most of the games would have ended the same but it would have been interesting. Now it will be interesting since most of these do not have any other real good pitchers.

Having pitched in high school and college, I learned that you must adjust to the umpire. Get use to it, the umpires are going to make bad calls, just as the coaches and players are going to make errors. Either by good hitting or good fielding, you've got to take the umpires out of the game.

 

If the umpire is calling the pitch 12-18 inches outside, I'm going to live out there as a pitcher. If the umpire is tight, I'm going to pick up a lot of the plate. I found that you get more if you can show the umpire you can spot the ball. If you are wild and all over the place, you don't get much. Although Connell is talented, his emotions often get the better of him. You can't get on the umpire either verbally or expressively. I've seen Connell make faces when things aren't going right. When things aren't going right as a pitcher, you've got stink it up and make better pitches.

I meant stink it up. My fingers are too big for the key board. Sorry.

 

For some reason I can spell "stink it up" meaning to become more mentally strong!

 

I'll try one more time. You need to become mentally strong when things aren't going right. I don't know what happened to the computer.

      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.
