Big strong kid, still has a young arm. Don't really know the kid. All I know is that he looks like he has a future in front of him and I don't agree with him throwing 130 pitches and hitting 6 kids plus velocity is down. A win is not worth hurting his future. He should have came out of that game before he did, don't take the risk. Just my two cents.

Three arms?? They only rely on TWO. What else kills them is the same guys making errors every game, multiple errors at that. They will have to beat GCM and Dayton this week to even have a shot at the playoffs. They still have a good team just need to do a little tweaking here and there.

Josh Peters was the picther from Brenham that couldn't be touched. I think he finished high school with a 57-1 record. Made the cover of Sports Illustrated. At the time had the record for wins and K's in 4A. He was basically th best prospect in the country. Signed with A&M and threw one game and was done for his career. The last I heard he was coaching at the college level, not sure where. They used this kid entirely too much, he went out and did his job but nobody was watching out for him. This kid was the real deal and he barely made it to college. Thats why I said what I did about Smesney being used too much, but he's not the only one. I know of several in this district that are being done the same way. As parents we need to step up and say something to these coaches that they are busting butt for.

All I am saying is that is a lot of wear and tear on those young arms. Thats not counting warm up pitches and between innings. I don't feel like any high school kid should throw that much just to get a win. Someone has to look out for their future. Look at what happened to Josh Peters out of Brenham several years ago. I am sure there is a ton of kids out there with arm problems due to high school coaches trying to add another win to their record. Just doesn't make sense to me.

If they keep letting him throw 130 pitches a game it won't matter where he goes!!

6 or 7 hbp and 130 pitches. Come on man pull the kid. He had a bad night, there is no sense in leaving him in that long. I know they have other kids they can throw. Fact is he is still a kid, they all make mistakes. I can see letting him work thru some problems but after you hit 6 and his velocity is down. That shouldn't be a tough call.

Not sure what is going on with Crosby, they have better talent than what they are showing. I think the coaches need to shake some things up over there. Still not sure on rotation and WAY too many errors!! Better do something pretty quick or they are done.

I believe it was Malchar. Dayton left about 15 runners stranded from what I heard. Couldn't get that key hit.

No,the stats show Mangum has not thrown in district. Only Malchar and Gabryski (sp), Langley threw once against North Forest. Appears to only be 2 in the rotation. Gabryski threw against BH.

I think Malchar is throwing for Crosby. Not sure about GP. At least that is the way they have been doing it. Looks like Crosby only has a 2 man rotation, not sure how that is going to work in the 2nd round. Don't know why Langley is not in it, kid has a cannon.

I was at the Crosby game last night when Langley pitched against North Forest (0-5). Not sure why they burned him (90+ fastball) against them; 4 innings 0 hits 0 walks 8 k's. Thought for sure we would see that match up against BH. What a waste.
