There was only one scrimmage and a game yesterday.

Score?

Any updated pics of the work going on at DCMS?

I think the kid will have a strong senior year but two years ago he was not physically ready to be a varsity qb - as is the case with most sophomores.

 

This is Dale building up his guy which I'm cool with but this is too much for me.

Seems to be working for Dale.

Could single handedly be the best Dale interview since the '99 season with Don Weber.....we're a little ticked off....

Who are each team's players to watch?

Refresh my memory.

 

Shortstop?

Yes. Sophomore.

Who hit the home run for the Birds? It was a no doubter!

I would have to agree with this. Ryle threw quite a few pitchers including CF Thomas Baumann who hasn't thrown a pitch in a game situation all year. I think Coach Roesel was just trying to keep some arms loose going into tournament time. Now I will say I was a little disappointed in the hitting performance or lack thereof. Ryle is a much better offensive team than what they demonstrated in this game. Highlands on the other hand seemed to find all the holes and demonstrated a much better hitting performance. I don't have the stats at hand but would guess the number of hits to be VERY lopsided in favor of the Birds.

Ryle players may not have wanted to win, but I can tell you Coach Rosel wanted to win. It was very evident.

Nice way to finish up before tourney time..

Good showing by the Birds. Hitting and pitching both were present today. Defense would have been had the 25 minutes of rain stayed away. Birds prove once again they can play with anyone when they show up. Hopefully the next two weeks lead to a regional title!

I don't believe that Highlands is the best JV team. Highlands has lost 6 games. Highlands has lost to CCH twice. CHH has lost to Ryle twice. Highlands and CCH both runned ruled Ryle. I think this is a 3 horse race.

Only 6 losses at the JV level is pretty good considering its a team that is constantly being manipulated. Very rarely do they have the same guys everyday with guys going up to Varsity and down to frosh depending on the needs. Coach Reynolds does a great job with this team.

The best JV team this year with 6 loses!

What do you mean?

Assuming 7-0 Justin Hoard throws for Ryle and left handed fireballer Trey Ganns throws for Boone who do you see coming out on top?

Ryle

Did I hear correctly that there was a "catchers balk" called in this game? Any details of the play?

I heard the same thing. Seems like I did some looking into since I had no idea what it was and this is what I found.

"On June 24, 2004, John Shulock called such a balk on the Braves' Greg Maddux when he pitched while catcher Fernando Lunar's foot was out of the box. Bobby Cox argued the call and was ejected. The night before, Brewers' manager Davey Lopes had asked the umpires to enforce the rule against the Braves' catcher Javy Lopez, who was setting up far outside the box. This appears to be the only time this balk has been called in decades.

Major League crew chief Tim McClelland has written "As a matter of fact, I have never seen it called, it's one of those things you just kind of let slide."

Apparently it doesnt get called in MLB, but it does in NKAC. The guy has issues.....

Since TOG only posts CCH stats, it really doesn't matter to me if they are posted or not. Now if he posted both teams stats, then I'd actually look forward to them.

A bit salty are we?

Most teams are mid way through the season. Who are some of the people that are having great seasons? Both pitching and hitting.

Birds score 4 in the first two innings, and and 6 late to put the game away. Junior Ben Vermeil started and went 3 1/3. Senior Jake Liggett finished on the bump. Sophomores Todd Ramey and Jake Whitford both went deep for the Birds.

Josh Cain gets the win, Connor Bartels the save. Breds led 4-0 in 7th. Errors almost allowed Brossart to come back. Thankfully the last ball was hit to zack Pangallo to end the atrocious 7th inning. Breds move on to Lexington for the All A elite 8.

When is that game?

So did Ramey hit a house or the hillside behind St. Bernard? Straight away Center is a SHOT !!!!

Straight away.

Senior Alex Grau (Shawnee state signee) was also 3-4 with 3 RBI. Junior jake Pangallo 2-4 with a double. Zack Pangallo continues to lead the Breds attack. Michael Bueter pitched well and got the win. Big week for the Breds coming up. All A sectional game against Brossart on Monday, district seeding game against Highlands on Thursday. Good luck Breds!

Where is this game?

Congrats to my DD Nikki Hinkley she will continue her softball at Morehead State next year.

 

Morehead State University - Softball Adds Three for 2014

What does this mean?

Beautiful weather and a great crowd. The shot by Ramey was a blast. This Birds JV team is playing very good baseball. They are fun to watch, and absolutely have fun playing.

Hope this win gets the birds rolling.

In watching Ryan against Highlands last year, they will be just fine at QB. Thought he was impressive against the stingy Birds D.

Good luck to all.
