Dying Sport? Baseball is exploding in numbers on the youth levels from 6u to 18u in select & a few local Little Leagues had record number sign ups the last couple years. High school & college level is far from a dying sport. The coverage on setx sports is dying because less & less people care to put the time in to post baseball things.

Far be it from me to say exactly what's going on. I will say that Navy Divers are the experts in underwater EOD, and have been known to exit flooded tubes to perform mine clearing duties. Yes. It's one of the most dangerous jobs in any Branch of the Service. That's why ND's receive hazardous duty pay from Day 1 after A school. One day, you may be exiting a sub in an unconventional manner. One day, you may jump from a perfectly good helo. One day, you may be at 300 feet below, and the next, you may be clearing a landing zone with a rebreather. You have to be qualified on every type of dive equipment from bare, to a snorkel and fins, to rebreathers, to scuba, to Mark 16's (or whatever they are on nowadays), and gas mixtures. In addition, small arms quals are very rigorous. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if some investigative/clearing type activity wasn't taking place right under everyone's collective noses right now.

So far (11 games), it's been pretty simple. Astros offense (MLB leading) has won them 6 games. Astros pitching and defense has lost them 5 games. Houston leads MLB in just about every offensive category. Houston pitching is 28th (out of 30) in MLB. An ERA right at 6 (5.75) Personally, I am willing to have the offense drop a bit if it means our pitching can get to around 4 in ERA.

CB is all about reaction. Loves shooting into hornets nests. Trolling is what he does the best. Been that way on this site for years.

So now we are not men if we disagree with you😂 You can hide behind that fake name, but you just can’t keep CB from shinning through.

….well, maybe The Masters. Lol

If anyone is interested, Navy Divers also made the news for something positive yesterday. Good read. [Hidden Content]

Even the mighty Yankees have lost 3 in a row. Lol. I have no answer for our pitching. Imai has control problems. Javier, even though he is injured, has not had a stellar year so far. I’m always ready to get behind my team and go along for the ride. Even when we’re losing, I’d rather watch baseball than just about anything else tv has to offer.

Thank you, appreciate your honesty but Reagan talks like he inside information from generals on the front lines. 😂 I think Trump is having a hard time finding an exit ramp on this war. I personally think BiBi gave him some not so accurate intel. It’s a Mess!!

Has Trump screwed up so bad by going to war with Iran that his wife is bringing Epstein back into the news to change the narrative Good Grief I guess it’s a new level of chess.

His dad was a stud! He went to college as a Quarterback. I always thought he would have been a MLB player if he would have went that route instead. He hit like 27 homeruns his Senior year! I remember Coach Stone was coaching Orangefield against SFA over at the old baseball field off of 25th st. The pitcher threw one about chest high and Stone told him if you put it there again he is going to put it over the street. The very next pitch went over the street with a moonshot! I asked Stone about 5 years ago if he remembered that and he said like it was yesterday. That was about 31-32 years ago. Chad was a freshman when I was a Senior. Back in the kid days I'd pick Chad on my team before kids 3-4 years older than him. Whether it be football or baseball, Chad was that dude! Really happy for him to get to see his kid do things he use to do. Chad was always very laid back but get him on a field and he made a lot of noise. I always thought he was the best overall high school quarterback until Dustin Long came along. I have some great memories of Chad on the baseball and football field!

Slade Shepphard walkoff double. BH 4-5-0 Ned 5-8-0 Nederland is now 10-0 in district

NATO is a useless money grab of taxpayer dollars. I say withdraw from it completely and close all our military bases across Europe. Time to stop being the world’s policemen. They’re all globalists countries anyway that want us destroyed. I know you think Trump sucks blah blah blah.

Massive sweep. 3 game swing over both the mariners and the stros, who somehow got swept by the Rockies. The hitting has been bad for us, but the pitching has been fantastic. If you’d told me the rangers would only manage 8 runs over 3 games against the M’s, I would’ve figured us for the team that got swept. But I’ll dang sure take it.

I think the only places you're seeing roster issues is at smaller schools. Baseball is a hard sport and some would rather just go run track or play golf than struggle on JV at a 1A-3A level.

Same site has Port Arthur Memorial as the Vikings. The records are accurate, but some of those mascots are off. Noticed DCTF actually called PA the Vikings in an recent article as well.

For an actual war update, I hope we don’t hit their power plants and bridges. I do care about the Iranian people, no matter what some may think or say. This would make it more difficult on the people. I pray we reach a deal and get the strait opened to full capacity.

Y'all?? I don't get in back and forth with CB. I do call him out from time to time when he makes inaccurate posts or falsehoods.

I heard from a very reliable source that Trump is coming after Trumper haters on small social platforms across America starting with SETXSPORTS Political Forum starting Monday. I believe you and CB’s name was mentioned.

Our military leaked information to draw Iranians AWAY from the airman, then attacked them while the rescue team rescued the airman at the correct location, without one UD casualty. That is pretty impression and will go down in the history books😎 I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they called that mission Hook, Line and Sinker. Of true, that is 😂

Astros lead MLB with runs scored (60) Lead in many offensive categories in the AL.

Great video. Everyone should watch it. My post above about the mine clearing went through Centcom. I like that site.

Been mowing on this beautiful morning by the Bay. Just saw this post. Not sure which questions you want me to try to address. So, I’ll touch both best I can. Supertankers are coming to the U.S. because the Gulf facilities are operating at a capacity they can process, and still have enough to export—for a substantial profit I might say. Of course, this is a double-edged sword for us. Since a better price can be paid by foreign customers in a global market, we wind up paying a higher price at the pump when it’s all said and done. The only way to stop that would be to regulate how much U.S. companies can sell outside the U.S., and that would be a very bad idea for multiple reasons. The Panama Canal is now back in Panama & U.S. control instead of China, so passage to the Asian/Pacific region is actually safer for insurers. But, the total time will increase as supertankers have to be transloaded from U.S. facilities. You will also need smaller vessels with shallower drafts to reach most of the U.S. offloading facilities to then transport to the transloading stations to load the supertankers. In other words, a multi-stage process. As far as the Strait being cleared, I have no direct knowledge. But, as I described in an earlier post, Navy Divers are the EOD experts for all U.S. military activities. They are the unsung heroes that—many times—accompany our more known SpecOps groups as they are the experts on anything to do with underwater activities. If a mission requires any type of diving, an ND will be involved, and possibly accompany the Teams during the mission. Clearing the Strait will not involve SpecOps as most think of them. (No Seal Teams, or their counterparts.) It will strictly be handled by Navy Dive Teams, and their support groups. Navy Divers are a very specialized part of Special Ops. ND’s physical and tactical training is second only to the SEAL Teams in the Navy, and is actually tougher from the water related activities as that is the focus. ND’s are a proud group. Very few have the cajones to disable explosives in conditions that are somewhat less than ideal. Think of some of the recent movies you’ve seen with EOD personnel on land. Now, think of being underwater, with—sometimes—limited visibility, heavy currents, and various sea life interfering while diagnosing and disposing of an unknown explosive device. Add in possibly having to do this without being known. Jumping out of perfectly good helicopters 40/40 and naked doesn’t sound too bad at all after that. 😉 **NOTE- So I don’t get flagged for saying ‘naked’, 40/40 and naked means jumping from a helo that’s speed is 40 mph, at 40 feet, with no chute, into the water. Quick entry. 😂🤣

No….just waiting to win BIGLY! Also waiting for the Golden Era to hit the average American.

These four women aren’t from 30+ years ago and they can even remember what happened. Swalwell was dating a communist spy and the dems want him as a gubernatorial candidate. Surprised? I’m not. The dems are communists.

History of republicans and Democrats is he will lose the house or senate or both…..ask Obama

I blame the Ds now. Lmao

Trump does as well

I'm not disagreeing with you. I will always celebrate when lives are saved. Putting troops on that island would have devastating. IMO

Just reminding members before mods have to do their duty!

Yep… The Wealthy Elite will be living in the Golden Era while Main Street gets crumbs and replacement for Obamacare will never be done even though it’s been proven that it’s 💩! Heck republicans can’t even get the Save Act passed!!

This is a mistake. If mission objectives weren't accomplished--which I fail to see how they have been at this point--the 2 week ceasefire will mean POTUS 60 days will run out. An authorization for extended military action of any kind won't be authorized. The Administration has decided polling is more important than completing the mission. Typical. This will go down as another "Mission half accomplished with a lot of wasted money, and some very valuable lives." Shame. If this was going to be the outcome, nothing should have ever been started. Whoever believed an air campaign alone could accomplish the mission of securing/destroying all nuclear material, removing an oppressive, terrorist regime, and making Hormuz an open international waterway devoid of threats against shipping were fools from the start. I don't blame our military. They developed plans per direction, and carried them out with efficiency. I just get tired of weak-kneed politicians starting something they're not willing to finish. There's a reason war is supposed to be difficult to start. I'm afraid all this remote warfare is making things way too easy.

I don’t claim to be a scholar either but many real scholars use this scripture and others for unwavering support to Israel. I don’t understand today’s lineages but the land itself is a part of Gods covenant with Israel.

Russia and China worried about war crimes. What a joke.

Just really really or really really really really with a large slice of HATE. We would have never known if you hadn’t told us. Lol

Obviously he’s been trying to make a deal but how do you do a deal trustworthy deal with radical Islamic Muslims? It’s an evil ideology that can’t be trusted.

I WILL cut off my nose to spite my face, and I WILL go down with the ship. It’s one of my more endearing traits. And I really, REALLY don’t like him.

I've heard the same thing.

What makes you think they would have? like a legit reason they would have blown them out? Don't say speed because yoakum had plenty of that. Yoakum towers newton on the line and had more depth everywhere.

No one can tell me what good it will do the American people. Dems have no policy. They’re surely not going to promise lower prices, lower inflation, protect real American citizens…..etc. It’s not their cup of tea. The only thing they could promise on “day one” would be impeachment proceedings against Trump. That’s all they have. What a platform.

I guess teams play to the competition, it’s something I’ve heard before, but it seems the Astros struggle with last place teams like the A’s, White Sox, Rockies,….etc. This is not a knock on the Stros, just an observation.

Astros lose 12-10 in 10 innings. Abreu with a blown save. Gave up 3 run homer. Houston 6-4 in first 10 games.

This reminds me of the 2001 movie, "Behind Enemy Lines", starring Owen Wilson and Gene Hackman. I wonder how accurate the technology in that movie was/is???

I think they’ll call you for compassionate guided wisdom.

The Asain connection and Okert combine for 5 hit shut out. 11-0 go for series tomorrow. Imai had 9 ks in 6 innings. Everyone contributed. Too many goo to mention, Go Stros

At one time this site was the only place to get local scores updated in real time. We had threads for every game with great fans that updated every inning and some every batter. Now every team has GameChanger that anyone with a cell phone can pull up any game live. No other sport has this, thus they need this message board for updates. I did see one local varsity GC get shut off because the parent that was scoring for the team gave Little Jonny an error. His parents ran to the school board and said it was a hit. Maybe that team still needs this site…..

I do hope we keep Dayton just for the old times sake.
