  1. I would be extremely shocked if this game doesn’t come down to the wire. Logan County has lost 2 home games in the past 3 years. Those of you writing them off obviously do not know what the Cougars and Coach Adler are made of. They will be ready to go Friday night.

     

    Not writing them off by any means. They are as tough as nails. Will be a good game for sure.

  2. Guess what, I'm entitled to my opinion, whether you like it or not. Yes I think McCracken is better than Scott Co. They beat them 3 of 4 times and had those 8 games been scattered over 3 days, I think McCracken would have beat them a 4th time. I think most would agree.

     

    If this is the case, then Madisonville owned McCracken. Beat then twice, and then went 10 innings on Saturday.

     

    Plain and simple, Scott Co is the best team in the state because they won the final game of the year. My daughter played for madisonville, and we face both teams, from first hand experience Scott is the better team. Sullivan is a better pitcher than Dodd, Chapman, or Ridolfi. They are all good, but their depth is what gives them chances to beat you. We had a junior pitcher in Peyton who arms has been hurting since District, and a freshman pitcher who stepped up but just didn't have it on Saturday.

     

    Quit making excuses and give credit where it is due...to Scott County.

  3. I spent 3 days at the state tourney this weekend. My daughter plays for madisonville and they had a great run. Let me prefix this post by saying that umpires did not cost us the state championship, we were simply beat by a better team in Scott county and McCracken. But the umpiring I saw this weekend at the state tourney was horrendous. These are supposed to be the best in the state...if they are the best, I am afraid to see much worse. I seen catchers digging fastballs out of the dirt and getting strikes called. I seen an umpire not put the ball back in play after a foul ball and let the pitcher throw a strike while the batter was not back in the box. I seen umpire let crow Hop go all game and then calls illegal pitch on final out to keep other team in it. Pitches for some could be at the shoulders and other the entire ball had to be on the white part of the plate to get a strike called. Can anyone guess what happens when you give good hitters balls on the white part of the plate...they get crushed. There needs to be real review done on officials. I umpired baseball for years and missed my fair share of calls, but I was watching the play and was in position, these guys were mostly watching the games. During region we had a girl get called out for not tagging up, the umpire told our coach he saw she was four feet from the bag. After reviewing the video she was clearly still on the bag. Fact is he got caught watching the ball in the outfield when it wasn't his call. Like I said before, it didn't cost us, but it's not fair to the players. Let them decide their own fate, and not have horrible officiating cost them an opportunity.

  5. Had some umpire controversy in this one.

    Had runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out. Field Umpires are in B and C position. Ball hit hard an appears to be going over the fence in right center field. Christian County Center fielder makes a great play and reaches over fence to rob HR. Runners both tag and advance. Both field umpires are watching HR ball being caught. Christian appeals to 2nd and field umpire rules that runner did not tag, and rules 3rd out of the inning. The issue i have with this, from being an umpire for years, is that the catch/no catch call is for the plate official unless a field umpire goes out to see the catch. If the field official goes out they are to STAY out and the plate umpire then makes the call on tag up at 3rd, while other field umpire makes call and watches tag up at 2nd. This was clearly a breakdown in mechanics. I don't have an issue if an umpire misses a call, as i have missed my fair share, however get in the correct position and watch your area instead of watching the dang game.

  6. Agreed, the temp fencing at Jack Fisher is horrible. State should be seeded based on coaches poll. This would make the coaches poll more meaningful and maybe get rid of the good ole boy system of casting your weekly ballot. Or you could seed based on strength of schedule or strength of region.
