    People used to ref because they loved the games and liked making a little extra $$$. I strongly believe that the overall climate of how we treat one another is largely to blame. Why would I want to dedicate my nights and weekends to going out and getting disrespected and possibly attacked? Maybe 25 years ago when you might catch a little heat over a blown call, but to have to hear that crap over every call you make is ridiculous. Every close call an official makes will elicit a prompt howl form whichever side feels like they were wronged. "Love of the game" isn't enough to make most guys want to put up with that crap. 

    Video evidence has made their job that much harder. Now we can pick which camera angle we prefer as evidence that the ump screwed up during his fraction of a second that he had to look at the pitch... and still be carrying on a week later. 

    So if guys that actually love the game won't officiate, who gets left? Guys who just need the money, or guys who wouldn't have cut it as an official back before so many good refs stopped officiating. 

    I'd be willing to bet that none of the "experts" that got tossed out of the stands last week have ever geared up and called an actual game.... but they know the ref stunk.

    yeah, could say the same about guys like you backer, ever been behind the plate? you have been commenting nothing but negatives for the past week and you call yourself a cardinal fan..smh! i am seeing all these comments and bc bashers on here that dont have a clue including you backer. you weren't at the game and surely didn't wittiness what we did. blatant bias from the start to finish starting with game one on Saturday and it was obvious. y'all sit up behind your computer screen typing away on your keyboards with your opinions about how bc fans were acting so let me set the record straight, since i was there. it was one fan that voiced his opinion at the time of the ejection about the umpires strike zone so he decided he wanted to be a little man with a big complex and and a chip on his shoulder and throw a whole section of fans that were in the vicinity out the park. that's it, that's all. and as far as kids shouldn't be doing this or that. let me ask you this? what if it was your kid that had been treated so blatantly unfair after doing everything right up to that point, for that moment to be taken away by an umpire that's upset with the way the fans were heckling him.  it wasn't the kids who said he sucked or he was making bad calls, so why take it out on them?  would you as a parent just stand back and watch it and not voice your opinion? some you snowflakes probably would, but not me, im going to stand up for mine till the day i die if i feel like hes being wronged and don't deserve it and that goes for each one of those boys on that team you can count on that and don't really care what anyone thinks of me. now saying all that i don"t condone putting hands on or confronting an umpire for any reason but lets give it a break already  it was a heat of the moment incident that was fueled by a lapse of judgement from an umpire can we just please put this bed.

  5. District 22-4A Shame

    Back to my original point in my post. As I was sure would be the case, most parents and homer fans are excusing actions of bad behavior or fighting because of a bad call or bad umpiring as they see it. Everyone needs to get real. Most of us have played a sport or two and been on the wrong side of a bad umpire or bad referee, there is no possible way that what is occurring in this district would ever, ever happen years ago. Coaches, umpires, administrators and parents would never tolerate the behavior back in the day and the player would be lucky to ever get on the field again. Stop making excuses for parents, fans, coaches and players lack of sportsmanship.

    Remember- I am talking about every sport not just baseball, The lack of a good clean competitive sporting event is hard to find anymore. Every parent, fan or coach is constantly gripping about bad calls or non calls. Let the kids play the game, stay out of it.

    If you are going to say that one strike call in a 7 inning game made the difference in a win or loss, then look at the score book. There were plenty of errors, walks, runners left on base and questionable balls and strikes for both teams.

    Nobody cares what you think and it did make the difference between a win or loss of the game. So take your opinion and go shove it where the sun don't shine. Good night.

    Hassling blue doesn't help your team. In fact, it hurts the team more often than not.

    Were you at the BC/CS game Cardinalbacker?

    I was wondering the same thing. Probably not. So basically what he's saying it was the fans who made the umpire make a horrible no call to end the cardinals season. Is that how you see it cardinalbacker??

    There's nothing like hassling an ump to make sure that every other call goes against you. I've never understood that logic. Does anybody seriously believe that an ump hunches over behind the plate and says to himself, "you know, that fan that's screaming at me is right. I need to make whatever changes are necessary to make sure this contest is called fairly. In fact, I owe that fan a call or two to make up for my mistakes."

    Think what you want, that's  your opinion, but The umpire involed in bc vs cs game should never be allowed to call LL much less high school baseball ever again. He blatantly did not call the CS batter out on strikes and everyone in the park knew it. He should be ashamed of himself. He stole a win from those boys who have worked very hard and battled relentlessly to get as far as thy did, For it to be taken away by a snowflake umpire that got his feelings hurt and decided to take it out on the kids.  shameful and flat out wrong that a single man in a game of many be able to control an outcome of a game and do it so blatantly. Proud of the bc baseball coaches, players and proud to be a cardinal.

    Parents, Coaches and fans. It is way past time for everyone to stop the endless, embarrassing support of your team while displaying terrible sportsmanship. District 22-4A is by far one of the very best districts in all of Texas in any sport. But the district has also become to be known as the least disciplined in the state. It is beyond support of your team when Umpires, referees, school administrators and law enforcement  are called upon at almost every District sporting event in order to keep players, fans and parents calm and stop any fights.

    1) Silsbee/ LCM basketball fight

    2) BC racial post of WOS player during football season

    3) WOS baseball playoff game with Robinson

    4) BC baseball playoff with China Spring

    These are a few examples of what poor sportsmanship looks like and anyone who is involved should be ashamed of themselves and the example that they are showing these young kids and the black eye that it puts on the school and the District. Remember- It is just a game.

    Aww! Don't get your feelings hurt fella lol! Congrats to the tigers on a great season and a great run in the playoffs. they are a talented team with some good young talent coming back, but how bout them cardinals!!! Nobody expected them to be where they are and for sure nobody expected them to beat, much less sweep the mighty tigers. Thats why you play the game, Anything can happen between the lines.

    BC's bats have heated up.  But they will face better pitching than they have seen since district.  I have to pick against the OC team here.  The difference is pitching.  Silsbee has the deepest staff in the district imo.  And that is the one area where, unlike recent years, BC is weakest. 

    Weaker maybe, weakest...that's crazy talk

    my prediction is silsbee wins out to split the DC with wos for #1 and #2,??  bc wins out,  if they can eliminate the errors!! to claim the #3 seed orangefield #4  JMO.  it should be interesting to say the least. good luck to all from here on out and beyond.
