Trae did not pitch against Nederland because you had to save him to put him on a Tuesday rotation for the second half of district. I dont care what anyone says Trae will pitch against PNG and will pitch against Nederland next Monday. You want to win all three games but IMO the PNG and Nederland games are more important. I just dont understand why some you are saying Hester will not pitch tomorrow night it just dosent make sense to me what so ever! [/quote] since he didnt pitch agaist liv. that next tuesday, after the ned game, then that doesnt make any sense. He could have pitched agaist ned, skipped liv. ( like he did ) skipped central ( like he did ) and be back on the tuesday schedule for lumberton png ned [/quote] Well maybe their was other reasons why he didnt pitch. Have you ever though of the coach taking in consideration of the kid's arm? Maybe Hester felt like he couldnt go? You cant throw everything at the coach for him not pitching certain games. [/quote] I agree with that, but that is not the reason you gave. And if he was worried about the kids arm, then he shouldnt have had him pitch at all in that game, along with warm up every inn before he went in. So really he wasnt to worried about his arm

and lcm has the much easier road. vidor still has png and ned left.

[quote name="JoesBros" post="791957" timestamp="1271691760"] There should be no reason for Hester not to throw tomorrow. He will be on 7 days rest. [/quote] He was on 7 days of rest when he should have pitched agaist ned., so it is not certain he will pitch agaist png and i am not sure scoring runs agaist central, lumberton, and ozen, should count as stepping it up. It wasnt till ozen came in with batting practice, that  we where able to hit the ball

I will leave the rest up to u, since u doing such a good job. Next up png

10 - 6 vidor bottom of the 5th

Vidor up 9-6 now with 0 outs

6-4 ozen top of the 5th

Yes u are correct, 5-4 ozen bottom of 4th, hagler on the bump now

5-3 ozen after 4

3-2 vidor bottom of 2nd

2-0 ozen end of 1

i am not stopping him from coaching his team (just posting my opinion), the best chance they had for a district champioship was to throw hester. Just like aggies said in another thread, save him for liv the 2nd time around if needed be

So if u dont have a happy hester who can respect his coaches decision, u have a below average team. By not throwing hester last night to start the game, it was basically saying to his other pitchers that he has no faith in them to beat liv., and no faith in hester that he could shut down ned. , the way bellow shut down vidor

[quote name="JoesBros" post="785428" timestamp="1270177156"] How you yall not know that Vidor would of still made 5 errors even if Hester started tonight??? That was the difference in this game. Errors in the field by the Pirates and Bellow pitching lights out. So dont throw critsim at Coach Green for not starting Hester. Trae had went way over the limit on his last outing against PNG and maybe he is also thinking about the kid's future and left arm. [/quote] If that is why he didnt start him, then that is good by him, but He wasnt to worried at png about his arm , when he let him throw well over 100 pitches that night. I believe he let him throw rt at 135

But they hitting Hester.  He's far from automatic tonight. [/quote] I sort of feel for Hester. This should go down as Green's goof up, not Hester's. [/quote] i agree, this is Greens goof up

this game gets ugly without hester on the mound, look for ned to ten run rule vidor. I wonder what hester parents think about hester maybe not starting. I bet they are not going to be very happy when he doesnt start

sorry to be misunderstood, i didnt mean to sound like they would win distrct. I just think that throwing hester is vidor's only chance to even come close to win district. Without hester on the mound, they dont have much of a chance agaist the other top pitchers, their bats just arent  strong enough, give or take a few  hitters. That is why hester is their only chance verus the png, and nederland's. When he pitches, they can win a 1 or 2 run game, could lose by 1 or 2, or could be ten run ruled. But they will not ten run rule the ned or png's, becuase their bats just cant handle those pitchers.  

even if malone only stayed 3-4 years, it would be well worth it. Just to get the program going in the rt direction. Winning just breds winning.

[quote name="vpride" post="784087" timestamp="1269965642"] Surely it is the first way. Expectations are high with the level of talent we are playing with. With the first set up we are still the favorites to win the district. We can't let one bad game turn our whole thing upside down. I say we give our best to Nederland and we will come out on top for sure. Vidor 5 Nederland 1 (that seems to be all Hester allows) [/quote] could not agree more. The first way is for district champs, the 2nd way is to make the playoffs, when they take 4 out of 8 teams including ( central and ozen ) who are a little down this year
