What is the criteria used to judge Mr. Baseball?

Never got started. I wonder if they'll play it tomorrow. Does anyone know when the make up is?

Great win by Ludlow. Stansberry and Smallwood, some have told me are 1a and 1b for Dixie. I heard Stansberry threw a great game but the defense didn't back him up and obviously the offense didn't help him as well. Dixie only scored 1 on a HR I believe and the other run was balked in. I'm sure they'll meet again in the District Tourney.

Beechwood has not also seen the type of competition that HC has in the ALL "A" because Beechwood lost to HC.:sssh:

No, but they saw more competition in the tourney's they played down state. Remember, you had to come from behind to beat BW in bottom of 7th with 2 outs! And obviously the competition was a little tough for you down in the All A since you were 10 runned against LCA.:sssh:

Wow that's unbelievable to think that HC's post season could be depending on the flip of a coin! HC has already defeated Beechwood this season, and honestly has a better chance against Beechwood. But with a coin flip, HC could play CCH!!!

How do you figure HC's post season depends on a coin flip? I believe BW beat HC in the district play and HC still hasn't seen Smith. I think coin flip or not your in trouble.

Since BW has posted all their other games, I would assume that KHSAA has made an oversight. I don't believe the AD would have purposely sent all other home games and not the CCH game. Ridiculous, IMO, for CCH fans to even question. :irked:

I agree; but I firmly believe Bertke would have finished the game out. My charts had him at 80 pitches: 50 strikes and 30 balls. Pretty awesome for a sophomore pitcher facing a strong senior laden Holy Cross team. Beechwood brought in Smith for the 7th inner for the 8th, 9th, amd 10th hitter. I'll agree he earned a save;but I doubt he threw much harder than Bertke!

Actually, he pitched to the 9th, 1st, and 2nd hitters. The ninth batter tried bunting and he struck out #1 and #2 batters. Although Bertke throws very well for being only a sophomore, Smith definitely threw harder. Can't wait to see Bertke when he's a senior. By the way, this was a great game to watch. Very few errors. I think one on each of the SS. HC's run was unearned and one of BW's runs was unearned. Overall, a great high school game.

He turned towards third and not towards second.

Coop, he jump turned and threw to third. Had he thrown to second, he would have been alright. Obviously, Sportsblog is a HC fan.

First off, Beechwood's pitcher came to a set position, stepped off the back of the rubber and faked a throw to first. Ump calls a balk. Elementary call. Blew it! Next, with runners at 1st and 2nd, Holy Cross' left handed pitcher comes to set, looks at runner at second then looks home. Runner on second takes off, trying to get a jump. Pitcher jumped turns and throws to third. Should be a balk, since can't throw to an unoccupied base without stepping off. Wasn't called. These are a few of the many calls he blew. His strike zone was terrible for both sides. Very inconsistent and not only that, he ducked/flinched on a lot of pitches. Travesty that the kids don't get better.
