I agree 100%. Rules are rules and some punishment needs to be handed down, just not on the kids, in my opinion. Having said all of that, I would question whether or not a courtesy runner is "in the game." Since he is a courtesy runner, he didn't start, and non-starters are not allowed to re-enter a game once he is pulled. A courtesy runner is still eligible to enter the game after running; therefore, in my opinion, that player has not "entered" the game officially and thus the game should not count toward the total games played.

Since my question cannot be answered, I am done with this topic.

First of all, I congratulated Jasper for a very well played series, I simply asked a question about something that I had never seen before. It was brought to my attention when your coach was screaming at our coach while on the field. At that point, I went and observed for myself, hitters 1-9 using the EXACT same bat. I didn't say that Jasper starting using this bat late in the game, that is when I observed it. They were using it the whole game. Don't try and muddy the water, with playoff history, booster club buys multiple bats and multiple sizes, etc. Based on what is being said, the 4 hole and 8 hole hitter, can both swing the same bat when they are so different in stature. How does that make sense?

I did watch 1-9, late in the ball game, and they used the EXACT same bat, regardless of what you say. you can say all day boosters buy the bats, which they may; however, I have never seen a team use the EXACT same bat for EVERY player. Not everyone will like the feel, as has brought up, unless.......

Yes, they did. I saw it my own eyes, and you know it.

You say that the boosters buy multiple bats, but my question, which you didn't answer, is why would EVERY player use the same EXACT bat left at the plate????? I am not embarrassed by our coach at all. I am proud to say my son played for him. He's was just calling out the obvious.

I would like to congratulate Jasper on a very well played series. They did everything that you need to do to win. they grinded out at bats, and last nights 2 out hitting was extremely impressive. Hats off to the pitching staff that hit their spots and made it difficult for us to put any hits together. Good luck next week vs Waco Robinson, and keep swinging it. One interesting fact from last night, that I have never seen before in all the years of being around the game. Has anyone else seen a High School team use 1 bat from hitters 1-9? The on deck player would go to the plate without a bat or bring same brand/year model bat to the plate, but then switch to the bat previous hitter used. Don't get me wrong, they outplayed us and deserve to move on, but what is so special about that one bat????

Who made the call? Home Plate umpire? There you go......... Neutral crews are the only way to go. We can vouch for that after last years China Spring's debacle.

4 different kids threw, with pitch counts being kept low, as to not interfere with tonight's game vs Orangefield.

Orangefield must have gotten lucky as well

He sat there for the whole game and his last pitch, 101st, was 96mph. What was most impressive, was his command of the off spead from curve ball to slider to change up. Hes a pitcher not just a thrower!

Why not wait to see how pool turns out then use as tie breaker????

After watching the scrimmage on Monday, I will not dispute a pitch here and there will hit 90; however, sitting in the 90s is completely different, which is not happening.

BC's Schuyler Thibodaux has committed to continue his baseball career for the McNeese State Cowboys. Very much deserved. Keep working hard kid.

I see 2 things in the top pic, first, you can see that the catcher is setup a little away. This can be seen by his right shin extending out a bit. He does appear to catch it a little to the right of center, which would also mean the pitch was more over the plate. Secondly, the hitter does not turn his shoulder nearly as much as in the bottom pic. You couple these 2 FACTS, and you can see where this pitch landed. It was over the plate, and should have been called a strike. The catcher is also my son, and he tells me that it was right down the middle, without question. Before anyone says, well of course he would say that, notice in the video that he did start running to the pitcher celebrating before he realized that the ump did not call a strike. We can sit here and talk until we are blue in the face. The umpire called it a ball, CS got the game winning hit, and they are playing this week, not BC, even though BC should be.

Who shoved the umpire

This game was stolen, plain and simple. unpires took the win from BC

They knocked out both BC and LCM last year

It definitely affected the play.

We had a situation come up in yesterdays Silsbee Bridge City game 2 that I thought I would ask the expert. It was the top of the 4th and a line drive was hit down 1st base line, the first base umpire immediately threw up his hands, as you do to call a foul ball. Then he immediately started pointing fair. This play resulted in a triple. As you can imagine, the BC coach went out and had discussions with the umpires. The umpires came together to have a discussion, where I was told that the 1st base umpire admitted he threw his hands up first. The result was not was over turned and the triple stood. In all of the years that I have been around the game, when an umpire puts his hands up, he is calling foul ball, and the ball is dead, regardless of whether it really was or not. Is this the case? If so, shouldn't the home plate umpire have over turned the call and made the hit a foul ball especially with an umpire admitting to the call?

What about 1100 Saturday at Lamar?

The Bridge City Cardinals will take on the Huntington Red Devils in a best-of-three series Game One Friday, May 5 at 7 p.m. at Huntington High School Game Two Saturday at 2 p.m. with Game Three to follow if necessary at Bridge City High School

Agree completely.

same thing happened last night
