I wish I was as “smart” as you, so that I would know everyone’s views, as you think you do.

Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.

That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous. I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Escalation of force. These are concepts that you completely understand and teach. Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice. Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons. The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.

Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.

No offense, but both sides do it. The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs. Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires. What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment. It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself. Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?

BOOM!!

We'll see. I don't trust us.

Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith. He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad? The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed. That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa. Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)? What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!

See why I don't trust my Hogs?

Come on dude, don’t take anything away from the kids on the field. If you want to talk uncharacteristic, we made what 3 or 4 errors in game one. Y’all had 2 EARNED runs. Defense is normally our strong suit. Your ace didn’t strike out a single one of our kids. Like I said also, you did not out hit us in game 1. Hell you barley out hit us in game 2. We had all the uncharacteristic walks. Josh pitched a hell of a game is what made that game what it was.

Why do you think it was a balk?

The same umps took a run off the board from Orangefield saying he didn’t touch 3rd. Wouldn’t say they were one sided. I didn’t see the video, but several people saw a video where he clearly touched 3rd. If that’s the case, it just gave us back the run they took. Not to mention that killed the inning as well with runners still in scoring position. Also not sure where you are getting that Franklin had 12 hits or out hit Orangefield game 1… out game changer has it at 8 hits for Orangefield to 7 hits for Franklin and Franklin’s game changer has it at 8 and 8.

Heck, naw… y’all want to get rid of anybody that won’t do what the radical right tells them. Just ask those 15 Reps from Texas that just got primaries by Abbott, Paxton, Patrick and the rest of those kooks. Manchin gets it, though. And you’re right- we need a lot more thinkers up there, not followers.

I like him a lot. This is really only a move in name early. He’s always done what he thought was best, and I agree with a lot of what he does

Tomball takes 1st game 2-0 with a one hitter from pitcher Sampson. Game 2 tomorrow at 11am also from Corpus Christi.

6 walkoffs today. A couple of National Seeds got lucky to escape

Get after ‘em Lady Panthers!!!! Bring it home to SE Tx!!!!

Series tied up. Game 3 set for 4pm tomorrow.

Why are they going to all this trouble if Trump is so beatable?
