Who pitched?

 

 

Cooper and he pitched absolutely terrific...took a one-hit 3-0 shutout into the seventh (the hit was an infield slow roller). They could never really touch him, but they did foul off a ton of pitches. Therefore, his pitch count was over 130 when he was pulled after four straight balls to the first batter in the seventh. I think most people did not realize that and assumed he should have just kept on throwing because he was so dominant. After that, the Shelbyville bullpen imploded and walked five more batters in a row, including a hit batter. Basically gave it away.

After watching the district games in Tullahoma last night I can only add one remark relative to the site. The district baseball tournament should never be moved from Tullahoma because of the condition of the field and especially the stands. The fans can watch a game and never have to worry about getting wet beacause the stands are covered. The Tullahoma stadium is one fine institution to hold a tournament and it should always be there. The stadium brings back many memories.....

I do agree the field looked good under the circumstances, but the lighting is poor. many bulbs are out and for a short time the field was very dark. Those are your memories not others. But T-town is a nice place to play ball and they are doind a great job.

so...on thursday both sites will play and then we go to the highest seed? to play the championship?

 

 

Because we are 'doubling up' on Thursday now, the game will be at either Blackman or Riverdale since those fields will already have been in use for the 4:00 games and teams are here at those sites. The game will be played at the original site (Blackman or Riverdale) of the higher seed.

By far the worst officiating i have ever seen at the lebanon oakland game. oakland can say what they want but they didnt deserve to win that game. how hard is it to get decent umpires that make good calls both ways? the ones out there tonight were a JOKE!

 

 

Typical. No credit to the boys that went out there and played hard, all the blame on the officials.

 

You were probably one of the guys up in the press box showing your rear about the umpires at the Lebanon/Oakland regular season game in Lebanon. That was an embarrassing display, and I'm starting to wonder if it is a trend among Lebanon fans.

How can you blame a game on the umpires when your players made the errors???

When you all played here last month or so, yall were up by 4 or so and blew the game by giving up the hits and errors.

Are you going to say umpires blew that game too?

Now I wasn't there but to blame all the games on the umpires is a joke on your part.

Next.

I also agree that Tullahoma has the best all around facilites to host the 8 AAA tournment. The lighting does need some work. The field for the players to play on is a great place to play. For the fans having the covered grandstand, a good concession stand and good rest rooms makes it a great place to hoist the tourney. The problem I see about Grider Stadium is Tullahoma is to occoupied with the new football stadium and letting a true gem of a baseball stadium crumble away. I hope they wake up before its to late for Grider!

Always enjoyed playing the tournament at Tullahoma, short trip from Manchester and usually play well there. I will agree the lighting was poor last night. But the concession stand I have a complaint about. And let's give Tullahoma the benefit of the doubt and say the concession stand wasn't prepared because they didn't expect to host part of the tournament - BUT, I watched a CC player, after the first game with Tullahoma, ask for a hot dog - they didn't have any ready. He asked for a cheeseburger - no cheese there. He asked for a hamburger - they didnt' have any ready. Pizza - none of that either. And I didn't see this first hand but my buddy was at the concession stand between those games and said a lady brought back a chicken sandwhich with blood visibly running out of it so.. yea .......... That sounds tacky all things considered. I think coach White and crew did a good job getting the field ready to play, infield was solid, outfield was wet but what can you expect after the flood of 2009. Would like to see some lights replaced, though .... See everybody again tonight.

I agree there was a problem with the concession stand last night ; the reason for this was the booster club sold all remaning food off because they were not planning to have anymore high school games. They went out and bought more and sold it out before the 4th inning. I know they went out and bought more at that time to make through the 2nd game. Hopefully things will run much smoother tonight.

 

Congrats to Coffee Co. They really stepped up last night. Looks like CC and Lawrence Co. are starting to swing the bats at the best time. Also what about that freshman pitcher coach white put on the mound last night. Goodluck to all 8 AAA teams the tournment is shapeing up to be a good one!!!!

I was at the game and there was a few close calls but im not sure i know of one that cost you the game..there was a close play at third after one of your guys popped it up to the 1st baseman and it was close to a double play however he was ruled safe and i think you had 1 maybe 2 outs and Lebanon didnt get the run in and that was alte in the game so what play are you talking about that you guys got ripped and it cost you the game also there was another play that went in your favor that several who wasnt for either team thought should have gone the other way. and yet oakland still won despite those 2 calls.

GREAT game by the WARRIORS and now we play oakland tomorrow at 630 at RIVERDALE

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
