There's no doubt CCH will be the team to beat in the 9th. Everyone returns and is a year older. TOG, are those official ERA's or are they your watered down ones? :lol:JK

 

From the Enquirer:

"Holy Cross will certainly be pushed in its own district – the 35th – thanks to Covington Catholic returning eight starters and 21 of its 28 pitching victories....."

 

Cov Cath lost 25% of its pitching victories from last year. Hard to say EVERYONE returns........

 

That said, just like last year, Cov Cath will certainly have the deepest staff around.

So Alex points out CovCath lost 25% of the wins. You then retort that they also lost over 50% of the losses.

 

I'm guessing the parents of those boys appreciate your spirit that will not die.

No, Alex only posted what he wanted you to read and didn't post all the stats to make his point. What I did was present all the stats that were reported and were quite easily found on BGP's archive or from the paper.

 

One of the reasons I posted the teams who the pitchers won and lost to, was to show who the pitchers won and lost against. Shumate losses were against some rather stiff opponents in Ryle, Boyd County, and HC as where Hellman against LexCath and Conner. Neither has a reason to hang their heads with their records!

 

I just wanted to point out to Alex that while it was true that CovCath did indeed lose 25% of their victories there was another side to the story, they also lost 50% of CovCath losses too!

 

Than again you didn't I guess, think about how the parents of some Basketball players felt when you posted

 

Congratulations to all of the boys selected.

 

Had I been picking I would include Fox, Hassell, and Tobler and remove Maniacci, Hemmerich, and Smith.

 

But that is different, isn't it Keep It Real! Yours was just opinion, mine was based on fact!

Oldguy, why does it matter how many losses those pitchers had? That wasn't Alex's point. He was talking about the # of wins. Your retort came across as defensive as well as trying to say that somehow the Colonels were going to better since over half of the losses were by those 3. You can claim you were just trying to tell all of the stats but it sure doesn't come across that way.

 

And your rebuttal is weak. Only good players can even be in the discussion of an all-anything team even those that I would take off.

So why did I take the time to spell out each individuals players wins and losses then? I could have just posted that the same kids lost almost half of the games......

 

and good players don't have parents who might not like you saying they are not good enough? Come on.....

 

Seems to me that no matter what I post, you dislike it, even to the point that if I would post that the sky is blue, your comment would be that I am only saying it because that is one of the CovCath school colors.

:walk:

I'm tired of guys like you mocking that phrase on this board. I find your shallow attempt at sophomoric wit offensive and BGP trite. This is a phrase based on the core of my/our faith. Feel free to debate TOG or call him out if you care to, just show some class. Statements like yours really reflect poorly on you.
