Coachin Champs

And we appreciate the opportunity to make it to the later game...even though some of us will be whining the next morning about getting in late! :D  I see extra coffee coming into play...anything for baseball!!

normally the seniors play the late games.
 
it was brought to the committees attention that the smaller schools have to travel the furtherest.  the smaller schools playing late allows parents and friends time after work  to get to beaumont from west sabine, chester, woodville etc etc…….  

The Game roster is on the Home page I moved it up to the top to help everyone out http://www.tasobeaumont.org

If the Coaches nominate them they will be placed on a team. In the past some of the players nominated could not be there due to prier obligations so they did not get to play. No nominated player gets left out, that's why you may see up to 25 players on a team.

Notice the due date of the 15th.... By my calculations still have 2 days!

Schools that have not sent in player nominations, Due by May 15 :
  Kelly, PNG, Nederland, East Chambers, WestBrook, Kirbyville, Bmt. Central, Woodville, Deweyville, Newton, Bridge City, Big Sandy, High Island, Sabine Pass, Spurger, Hamshire -Fannett, Brookeland, Anahuac, and Leggett   Sent email today and no response from these schools as of now.

Had a coach continue to argue wanting a balk called on an opposing pitcher.  This continued basically the entire game.   Got to the point where I had enough.   I called the coach over and told him that if he wanted to get a ruling from the umpire - in - charge ( was working a select tourney) that he could meet him in the umpire room at 12:30.    Funny thing is, the umpire - in - charge was ME.....   The look on his face was priceless when I opened the door.   Needless to say.....I ruled in favor of myself.

Best I ever saw was a Home plate umpire tossing a kid for arguing strikes and balls. The ump wrung this kid up on an inside pitch (it was a strike, I had no dogs in the fight, just watching a good HS baseball game) and the kid took his bat and drew a line in the dirt where he thought the pitch was. He then yelled at the ump, "That's not a strike right here!". The ump calmly asked for his bat, drew a line in the dirt from the batters' box all the way to the dugout. He then drew an X in the dirt in front of the bench and leaned his bat on the bench, then told the kid, "You, right here, rest of the game". Everyone was silent in the moment, but it sure made for some laughs once the game resumed. Coach didn't argue and the kid was so stunned he just sat down and watched the rest of the game. Instant Classic!!

Is it the umps fault this one is this close?? LOL😂
