With HHS being 6-19 who wins this game?

While the betting man would probably have to go with NCC on this one, the fact that Highlands knocked off Boone County this past Saturday shows that anything can happen. Like the old saying goes, 'that's why they play the game.'

 

Go Birds!

Aren't these 2 scheduled to play in the 1st round of the districts? If that's the case I'd expect the 2 coaches to start someone other than the starting pitcher expected to go in the districts. I'd expect a closer game than the records would indicate, especially if the Birds only give NC 21 outs.

First bolded: Yes they are.

 

2nd bolded: I agree completely.

Coach Baioni is smart---he's not going to show anything. I expect that NewCath's big hitters will not get a ball to hit during the District matchup. In fact, Baioni might walk in a run as opposed to pitching to Cain or Schmits if either come to the plate with bases loaded or runners in scoring position.

I follow both, but and I think NewCath is 10x more talented, which is why I think HHS will win district game. Schulkens will find a way to get out-coached. Too bad---he has the best NewCath team in his 16 years and yet he can't even put players in their best/most beneficial positions.

Whats wrong with you??? Do you really think that Coach Baioni would throw a game?????? He has a job to do! Thats like saying might not run hos Offense against Cov Cath in the regular season and let them score a win just to beat them in the playoffs. Baioni is there to win games and he surely isn't going to give them away!!!!!

Sounds like you are disgruntled breads dad whose kid isn't playing where you want him to be with the bold comments.

I agree NewCath has more talent, but I don't think Baion will intentionally walk a run in and in know way is this the best team NCC has had in the last 16 years.

Uh NCC 11 Highlands 1 !

You may want to re-read my post, as I didn't say anyting about anyone throwing or laying down. I simply stated that Baioni is smart--he's not going to show NCC anything. He's been scouting NewCath, learning player tendencies, and finding weaknesses. And if he found a way to exploit those weaknesses, he sure as heck isn't going to utilize them in a meaningless regular season game. Hopefully that clarifies my post and gets you to calm down.

My comment about walking in a run was a compliment to Baioni, meaning that he'll do his homework and he's a good gametime tactician---and I was kidding....I don't think he'd do that either.

 

So if this NewCath team isn't the best he's had, which one was? Surely, if you are so quick to strike, you have a reason. Or maybe I should pose my question this way: Which of his teams did you son play for? Just kidding---but seriously....what team do you think was better?

 

Seriously---I've been following NewCath for a long time, and I can't remember a lineup that had 7 legitimate pitchers, 1 through 5 batters that averaged almost .500, two guys with 40 RBIs, multiple long-ball threats and depth at almost any position.

 

Of course, that doesn't mean that they're going do anything. His 2008 Region 9 Champ team was 2-8 over their final 10 regular season games before they won it all. So go figure.
