k'd looking

I was a high school baseball coach for 20 years. Long since retired. Coached against John at the J.V. level. Class act!! I can't say enough positives about the man. I think Cov.Cath. got it right. Congrats to him. Good luck coach!!!

IMHO....lol!!! Everyone has one, the N.F.L. is not a good product anymore. For a variety of reasons but, I'll just go with one. You have a league which is supposed to be the best of the best, that run a lot of stuff that is done at the high school/college level. Mainly offense. The shotgun. The wildcat. The pistol. The R.P.O. Whatever happened to lining up, and just kicking some butt!!! I know guy's , I'm old. But to me, less is more, and the old K.I.S.S. method still works. We are not trying to split the atom !!! It's football!!! I'm 63.... 1980/1990, maybe early 2000's, was when the N.F.L. had their best run for me. things could change, but I doubt it.....lol! Just one mans opinion. Merry Christmas people!!!

Hmmmmm...What is the combined age of the four QB'S you listed? Maybe it's because their OLD? Just a thought.

Totally agree! The guy is just bad. Tired of the stats and Analytics !!! Don't care if it's 110 off the bat,and caught for a out!!! He has nothing!!! No stories to fill time, between the 7,8,9...pitching changes a game. This is what the game has become. Unwatchable!!! There is also ,no one who says anything bad about this team. You listen to ALL of the reds announcers, you'd think they were 30 games over .500. I'm ALMOST....to the point, that i may,might, and maybe, have someone put a gun to my head, and watch soccer. I said ,ALMOST!!!. Baseball has become a joke. IMHO!!!

Played amateur ball against Steve. Great guy. He could throw it!!!

Totally agree with everything you said. It's gotten ridiculous! Just my opinion,but sometimes i feel , we as adults, don't let kids be kids anymore. A lot of it.... IS parents!!! No reason for 10/12 year old's ,playing 100 games every spring/summer/fall. IMHO!!! ...lol! I get where your coming from though.

Didn't mean to "single out" curve balls!!! Believe what you want to believe. No problem! My point was ,there to many other things that come into play besides pitch count. Personally , i have coached high school for 20 years. Done it all. Knothole,select,frosh,jv,varsity. head coach at a school. The one thing have had with all the programs i've been with,as far as teaching pitching,we push pitch location [fastball],and teaching a change up that can be thrown for strikes. I get what your saying,but if it's my kid,probably not throwing curves till 13/14 years old. As i said,that is not set in stone.If the kid is bigger,or is more polished,then we go from there.Everyone has their take. i get it!

Not going to defend anything coaches do. Not defending pitch counts. I will say, there's always a few coaches,that make the rest look bad. As far as what's been said so far,i do believe some of these coaches play to many games.I would like to see it go to to 28/30 games max !!! One thing people don't realize,as far as pitch counts, that once these players go play summer/fall ball, there are no pitch counts!!! I ask butch cope about this a few years ago ,as we talked about some things at the state baseball conference . Apparently the khsaa has no say in summer/fall leagues. I do find it ironic that some people complain about pitch counts [throwing too many pitches] but have their players throwing curve balls at age 10/12 . hmmmmm!!!! I think it would help if the khsaa , and the summer/fall leagues got on the same page. Also,pitch counts can also be dictated by each different player,depending on size and age. My point...."one size doesn't fit all". Just some observations form someone that's been around a little bit....lol! Cheers gentlemen. Have a good one.

Wilber Woods 1973 season. 24-20 3.59 era 359 innings 48 starts !!! That's almost 2 seasons for these guy's now.....LOL! It's a shame what's happened to baseball. I don't watch as much anymore. It's almost unwatchable! imho Cheers!

Browns never seem to get calls!!! Going back to "bottlegate", and then last years, helmet to helmet against Higgins at the goal line,resulting in a fumble.

I'm a Browns fan but,i have to admit,thanks funny!!!

As long as Bell is manager,this team will win nothing! To compare him to dusty,is a insult to Baker. Again,just Cincy fans settling for mediocre !!! IMHO !!!

WOW!!! Only one 10th region school [grc] in the top 25. None from 9th region! Hopefully that will change by mid May. Of course, this really means nothing at the beginning of the season. Good luck to all the schools.

All the above comments are true. No argument there. Not sure if everyone who posted was a where, that the field on route 8 was built on a land fill. They have always seemed to have trouble with the infield "sinking" in spots. They have trucked in a lot of dirt over the years to try and correct the problem. Not sure what else they could do. It is a nice complex,in theory, if the ground would co-operate .....lol!!! Anyway, just wanted to "fyi" for people.

rjs4470,Totally agree with you. "not looking good".
