This will be Cooper 2nd Seed game after losing to Conner 1-0 in 9 inning's.

 

I also hear they have their 3rd and final Seed game the day after this one versus Boone so I'm not sure of the pitching match-ups or line-ups.

Does it matter where you finish in their district? Maybe best to stay out of the

4 seed?

I do find it suprising that the district that everyone thought was the most balanced in the preseason, now has the most clear cut favorite of any other.

There are still 2 games to be played by all teams other than Conner.

If it comes down to coaching decisions then I would put my money on Ryle.

I guess we will see what happens. There's supposed to be some changes and commitment to the line-up the rest of the way out. Hope this happens so these boys can make some noise like everyone really thought they would. Time to play High School Baseball and not Knothole and Little League. Players need to know their roles and shut their mouths and back their teammates.

Cooper will never win a district game with Bieger at the helms.

I don't see the players opening their mouths. I see poor coaching decisions in just abbout every game.

He seemed to get to the region tournament fine as the head coach at St.Henry. I can't remember how many years he ran that program though.

Nothing like supporting your players, team, program and school! Dripping with sarcasm. Unreal comments!

This is the best thing about BGP we can always bash the coach and say what we would have done

Sounds like someone is not happy at cooper.

My two cents on the situation at Cooper.

 

1) Very dissapointed in a number of kids who whine when they are not in the line-up and complain to their parents who think they are All Americans.

2) I will put some on the coaching line-ups. Part of me knows that everyone should play some as they put in the work all year and can contribute at times. But, after half the season is over it's time to put those who have proven themselves to be the best 9-10 kids and rotate others in ONLY when the game is completely out of reach one way or the other. After about 15 games it has been clear there are not many options other than about 10-11 kids at most to choose from.

3) Due to kids being out injured or other reasons there has only been the first 7-10 days (not games) of the season where their main group has been there together.

 

Cooper just isn't as deep as I thought they would be early on but I still believe that they can make a run but it will only be with utilizing about 10 players who have proven they can handle it and if you have watched Cooper at all it's not hard to figure those kids out.

 

Their last four loses has been by one run each and I wonder how those games would have turned out with the main line-up in there. Failed executions of bunts and run downs of picked off runners has caused 2-3 of the loses this last week alone.

 

Time to play to win EVERY game from here on out and if kids get their feelings hurt, then time to grow up or go back to JV.

 

They are a good group of kids that need to quit listening to their parents and accept their role.

 

There, I'm done venting :thumb: GO JAG's!!!

Could not have said it better myself! Now I will go back to why I joined this site. To catch up on scores that I miss and quit reading the complete bull that does absolutely NOTHING to help the players or the program. In fact it hurts the entire program! Lets go JAGUARS!!!!!

Very interesting take. Maybe I am not seeing what others are seeing or hearing simply because my kid doesn't talk about if players are upset etc. He actually doesn't say anything to me about what goes on in the dugout except trying to keep the team up etc.

 

I did see several kids leave the game the other night upset, but wasn't told why. Was curious about that myself.

 

Personally I'd just love to see the team go out and play Baseball. Not a fan of a lot of in game decisions, but that has to do with small ball mostly. I'd love to see what happens when they just let the kids play the way they can play and the last game showed what could happen as they won.

 

Don't over think the game, it's really not that difficult but sometimes I feel the coaches over think it too much. That has always been my big complaint. Play baseball, not chess.
