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.

I was there. Hillin wasn’t “escorted off the field.” Was there a Buna ISD officer there, yes, but just to make sure he left the field after the ejection. It’s normal procedure when things like that happen. Hillin left immediately after he was ejected without issue.

Good news: Both F-15 pilots are rescued and SAFE! [Hidden Content]

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!!

Trump does as well

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.

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.

No, sir. Trump admits that there was massive fraud, hence the need for the SAVE Act. Y’all cheated, Trump and the republicans confessed every time they claim that election integrity is a problem, they’re admitting that they didn’t actually win.

Schedules usually don't get updated until August.

Believe whatever you want to believe. Newton would beat the brakes of Yoakum.

Why does a rabid dog never surrender? You gotta take it to the end to where there's nothing left. Regime change is a must!

Why is the Strait of Hormuz still closed and being controlled by Iranians if Trump has obliterated their military capabilities?

As you should Mr. MAGA!

Nederland was down 4-2 in the top of 7 with 2 outs. Carson Johnson hit a 3 run bomb to give Nederland the lead. Johnson closed out BH in the 7th for the win. Nederland stays unbeaten in district at 9-0

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!

This war is in its third month and there’s no signs that it will be over soon. Ol “Art of the Deal” doesn’t work when you’re playing big boy games. I don’t see how we can extract ourselves. If we just packed up and came home, they’re still not opening up the Hormuz. They’re going to force Trump to put up or shut up, and if he does the types of things he’s talking about doing to a country that hasn’t dropped the first bomb on us? The world is getting ready to take us down a peg or two, I’m afraid.

First time since 2023 we swept the Mariners.

Yes, it was.

You need to put the link you got this from @Big girl

Just reminding members before mods have to do their duty!

Not without an Authorization--which won't be coming. POTUS only had 60 days. If ALL nuclear material is recovered, IAEA is allowed full access forever, and verification is a condition, that would be an improvement. But, anyone that trusts the regime without constant monitoring is twice the fool.

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.

Those guys don’t care what Trump has to say. I think his mouth is writing checks that all of us are going to have to cash. They’re not going to to back down, and he’s either got to do something or go home like the draft-dodging coward that he is.

I've heard the same thing.

Someone on this forum will come up with a reason this is a bad thing......or not true......or something negative

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 are averaging 7 runs a game. Lead MLB in several offensive categories. Flip side, Houston is giving up 5.5 runs per game. Astro pitching is in the bottom quarter of the league in most of the pitching statistics. Only top 5 category is strikeouts and Opponent OBP.

Really! 👍

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

I heard the announcers say Walker leads the league in doubles. He almost hit for the cycle today, missing out on the most difficult hit, the triple.

The people appointed Vance and Trump Democracy !

I would say both and rightly so. He learned A LOT from his first term.

I had originally heard this. Especially when they labelled Blanche as interim.

Can’t post it as I don’t use X. But, saw a funny post from Jon Lovett. In a surprise twist, the Epstein files released the attorney general. lol

No chance to be competitive. Coldspring would have exited the Battle of San Jacinto if admin had let them. I imagine the BOSJ will end up like the "Rice Bowl" with EC and HF.

You bringing up Pete said it all. and No, you don't support the troops correctly. I would only ay I hope the rescue teams gets them home safe.
