HC by two TD'S without a doubt SK'S season comes to a end this week! There big chance came last year and they were out matched, the same thing happens this week, only against a much weaker opponent than Trinity!

None of which are D1 players!:laugh:

I also hope he enjoys beating Conner this week because Ryle owns the District title this year! It will be a while before SK makes a trip back to the state title game! Yes Conner is a shell of the team they have been for the last two years, but SK is nowhere near what they had last year!

Austin Pugh, Conner- Transylvania University

I hope you enjoy a game!:laugh:

Not that I owe you a explanation, but I never said it was in the rule book! Its taught by people far more qualified than you to drag your foot across the bag on a 4,6,3 double play, if possible! It assures momentum towards first base and also lessens the chance of injury between the runner and infielder! In most cases the umpire allows this practice to occur because of those reasons! You can watch it happen time and time again in a pro baseball game! You can't expect a fielder to come to a complete stop and stomp on the bag, just so stud fans like you can be convinced that the runner is out! PEACE OUT!

This photo proves nothing other than its a close play!

I have to disagree with you on that call Clyde, although it may have been close that call is not made, no way! Shadowing the foot across the bag is common practice and is textbook! The ball beat the runner,the throw was on target, this technique is called an out 100% of the time and was another horrible call in a key situation! Great game by Dixie and Conner, ultimately the three run bomb was the dagger that decided the outcome, but I have to say a couple of these umpires don't deserve to be at either district or regional tournaments! Honestly I have seen more blown calls this year in key situations than I care to remember! Debating balls and strikes is always an issue and changes from umpire to umpire, I get that, but incompetance in big game situations is ridiculous!

What controversial call are you refering to?

Yes, Blake is a freshman!

He has had less than 50 AB's at the varsity level and Sat. was senior day so they didn't use him! Besides he is a true Frosh and dropping him down is not a shock for big games!

My DOG Cameron Fogle has great day at the plate once again! Congratulations Cougars!

I believe Russell pitched 6 full innings and was pulled in the 7th after a fine pitching performance on senior day! West had a big 2 run hit in the 6th inning and Pugh added a solo HR ( 10 ) at his second at bat! Some questionable calls at home plate that helped the Cougars, but still a nice win against a always tough Cov Cath team. Good luck to both teams in the districts! :ylsuper:

No doubt! Bob always gets the best from his players, good luck to you Beechwood!

Nice hitting performance by Conner, Roberts was on base 4 times 2BB, 1b, 2b, Pugh 1b, 2b 3rbi . Its nice seeing Parker starting to hit again, we definitly need his stick! My DOG Cameron Fogle also had a triple and rbi. It wouldn't be a Conner game without atleast one base running mistake!:lol: Also 3 errors, way to many here lately. Good luck in the tourny Cougars! :dancingpa

The umpires that I witnessed in Lexington this year were amazing, atleast behind the plate!

Whats the run down here Coop?

It would shorten the runners distance if he wasn't running 15 feet into foul ground! WOW thats a wide turn!:eek:

Sorry Sparky,but if you had to sit through the other 2 dozen times Iv'e watched horrific decisions by the players and coaching staff you would better understand my frustration!

PLEASE! :laugh::laugh: TOG is the man!

I'm saying because he squared around at the last second and slapped at a high pitch is why he popped out! Great play by Hoskins, but another example of how not to lay down a sacrifice bunt! It's not a suicide, square early and only offer at strikes!!!:puke:

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

I don't know for sure if it was a sac or not, but lets talk about a sacrifice bunt compared to bunting for a hit. Not many guys on this team have the speed or savy to bunt for a hit. That being said 95% of the time it is a sacrifice, but to a fan alot of times it appears to be a last second attempt to try and do it for a hit! The batter must square the moment the pitcher steps on the rubber and begins his pitch not 10 feet before it crosses the plate! THE BASE RUNNER MUST NOT TRY AND ADVANCE UNTIL HE SEES THE BALL ON THE GROUND AFTER CONTACT FROM THE BAT! This does not happen with the Cougars most of the time, and is another area that has killed them from scoring runs! You can't assume that these guys no what to do in situational baseball it must be reinforced in practice and during the game! It comes down to a lack of fundamental dicipline and has cost a pretty decent team several close games! :confused:

Funny you should ask, I have actually kept track after a fashion and it happened several times before I started counting so the numbers would be modestly accurate. Approx. 8 or 9 times a year no matter who's catching I have witnessed great throws erased because of middle infielders either being lazy or not being where they should to properly recieve the baseball! Not to mention dozens of free stolen bases because unless the pitcher is smart enough to hold the base runners close or God forbid actually make a throw to the base, that even Johnny Bench himself couldn't throw a guy out, with a 30 foot headstart and no slidestep! :ohbrother: :confused:

A NEW COACH!! Maybe a passing game!:idunno:
