County stats from Wmson AM 4-21-09 Stats don't lie! Does Indy have any players that are any good?

Franklin is not only a better hitting team than Indy they're better all the way around including the coaching.

District standings-Franklin in 1st place, Indy looking up.. I think you get the picture. No shot to win District and very little chance they will do anything in the tourny.

 

 

Who cares about individual stats? I know no one at Indy does. We care about our team goals, which is to win championships. Have you guys won anything this year? No, we beat the best team in the nation to win a tourney. BRowe is better than any pithcher on your staff, and Lee is better than any position player you have. Franklin won't be in first place that long as they will lose to Overton and get swept by Ravenwood and we come in and take 2nd place. It will be great. Talk to me next week when the Eagles are soaring and the Rebels are laying bloodied on the battlefield.

You want to talk about team goals to win championships? That is exactly what Franklin has done the past five years, and Indy has not. After this season, it will undoubtedly be six years in a row that FHS has gone on to the postseason and Independence has not. Yes, you beat the "best team in the nation," who is actually turning out to be good, but not great, and I'm glad you did. It makes our district look better when a team that won't even advance out of it beats one of the better teams in the state. I thought we were going to go 0-6 in our last six games, and right now we're 2-1 so obviously you are wrong, yet again. And to put it in your words, the Rebels will be fighting on to the postseason, while the Eagles will fall out of the nest and die before they can even get started.

Good game between Overton and Franklin last night, with Franklin winning 11-7. Overton jumped out 6-2 against Faletta with another homer by Cole Patterson. Franklin started chipping back with a run per inning with Franklin having a big 6th inning.

 

Overton will have #1 Harton at 6-1 going tonight vs. Franklin's #1.

 

Question: What is up with Franklin's catcher. That was one of the most pitiful examples of bad sportsmanship / being a team mate that I've ever seen. His actions with Faletta in the 2nd were deplorable.

 

So, here we are:

Overton 9-2 (Franklin, Hillsboro 2x)

Franklin 9-2 (Overton, Ravenwood 2x)

Indy 8-3 (Centennial, Brentwood 2x)

 

Schedule favors Overton, of course, but nothing is a given at all. Tonight's winner should be looking pretty good.

 

What are the tiebreakers? Head to head is first, I assume, but would that apply if 3 teams are tied -- usually not.

Oh wow stats dont lie. Your so right, 4-3 doesnt lie. A win is a win.

Good players, well i guess Rowe i dont know. Signed a letter of intent to play with Lipscome in the beginning of the year, oh and this guy Josh Lee yea he is ok i guess, if you sign to play baseball with Vanderbilt your junior year. Come on really? That had to be the stupidest comment i have read yet.

Those stats sound really convincing and correct. Those stats are against everyones ace pitchers which all teams save for franklin. Indy only see other teams third, fourth or lower pitchers and still dont have the stats to match 5 or 6 franklin players. Don't forget this is a rebuilding year for franklin (7 fresh & sopm) in starting 11 or 12 players. 4 to 3 ain't as good as 9 to 2, that makes franklin 13 to 6 with indy, which makes franklin twice as good as indy. Numbers don't lie.

I totally agree with the first thing that the catcher for Franklin said, the pitcher was struggling and he needed to wake up. I don't know if he should have said the second thing, but the pitcher is a big boy, he can handle it. There's definitely no feud between the players, and I don't think its that big of a deal. Also, in his defense he was crossed up multiple times.

Well we are too the homestretch. My Eagles had an early season slump but are on the rise again.

 

The district title will go to Overton. No way, Franklin even beats them once this week.

 

2nd place will go to my Eagles we will go 4-0 this week in the district. No one is going to beat us the rest of the season in the district.

 

Franklin got lucky last time we played and Tuesday they will learn that. For some reason those guys think they have done something. All they have done in their high school careers have sat on the bench and watch last year's group win big games. That whole program is in shambles, there coaches will be gone after this year. Franklin loses the next 6 in a row.

 

3rd Place will go to Ravenwood after they sweep Franklin next week.

 

I don't care about the rest. Rowe, Carden, Lee, and the rest of the Eagles are focused in on the task at hand.

 

wow there goes those predictions. Franklin is obviously not in shambles as they hold first place in the district right now with a win over overton right now, and if they win tonight they pretty much lock up the district. Looks like they have actually done something....

So, what you do is call time and go out and talk to your pitcher.

 

You don't:

-- yell at him to wake up

-- you don't demonstratively throw the ball back at him hard

-- you don't stomp around and motion to the dugout for him to be removed

-- when coach calls time and all to the mound, you don't toss the ball right into his chest as you huff and puff

 

He may be a great guy, otherwise...but you don't do that.

I agree he should have gone to the mound and said whatever he had to say, but the game was getting out of hand quickly at that point and his frustrations got the better of him. Like I said earlier, he was crossed up three pitches in a row, which would make any catcher upset.

    • I’m a middle tn guy so I understand the transferring etc and it don’t bother me. I’ve seen at least 8-10 guys transfer into AC recently. Some with stars and some without. My question is does AC have a nil thing going? Is Anderson county growing? Is this a you build it and they will come thing? Somebody help me out with the East TN thing. 
    • I think you’re referring to Corbin. That year Corbin went 14-2, losing the state championship to Boyle County. I believe Boyle County has been nationally ranked a few times so obviously they’re no trashy team. Corbin doesn’t sound like a bad football team to me, especially being how Boyle County is 12 time state champions and usually barely knocks Corbin out. That year tho I think Boyle beat them by a few but still a state appearance. I also think that Alcoa game went to OT but I’m not quite for sure. Alcoa is a legit program, just take a couple years ago for example, the 32nd best ranked team in New York came down to Alcoa (not quite sure what they were thinking) and got absolutely pummeled 44-6. Alcoa has beat good teams, they’re not playing nobodies. 
    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
