    Hopefully an appropriate and fair ruling can be made. Seems that different levels of severity should be in place for different violations...using your best pitcher too many innings/pitches should carry higher penalty than letting a sub-varsity kid suit up as possible courtesy runner for 18 games instead of 17 games. Or letting your D1 3-hole hitter play after failing should be punished more than letting a sub-varsity kid suit up for 18 games instead of 17.

    Looking at standings, seems like only 1 team would really get kicked in the gut if BC has to forfeit for letting a sub-varsity kid suit up as courtesy runner for 1 too many games. Top 3 teams would still be in playoffs, but handing Silsbee that win would put HF in a tough spot, all due to a sub-varsity kid suiting up as courtesy runner for 1 too many games...and the way the schedule fell. If it was 1 game earlier, When BC played HF, then HF would get that automatic win. Or maybe that sub-varsity kid was the difference in beating HF the game before : /

    Anyway, just seems that a sensible thought process should be used in this egregious situation. Maybe suspend coach for a game or 3, but don’t punish kids that have been fighting all year for playoffs. Let the athletes settle it on the field...baseball gods never lie!! 

     

    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.

    1st off the size of a person doesn’t have anything to do with bat. I played with guys in the high school and college that swung the same size bat as me and was much smaller. Some guys can generate more whip with their bat speed and make up the ground of “someone way bigger then them”. Some guys prefer to be choked up a little bit at all times.. so go ahead and throw the size of someone out. 

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

    Well let’s be honest.. if you say they got a loaded bat.. WHY would they just start using it late in the game? At the end of the day Jasper has dominated BC in the playoffs over the years and yet we hear the excuses every time. Jasper has always been known for hitting so well and nothing has changed! Sadly people like you give BC people a bad name

    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?

    Apparently you weren’t watching then.  They use 32” and 33” Buster Posey’s and the 9 hole used a Prime. 

     

    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.......

    Baseball boosters buy the bats for our kids we purchase the same bats but in different sizes most kids swing a 33” couple swing a 32.... 

    with that being said the BC faithful should be embarrassed by coach Landry’s whining all night about our bats.. he said all the right things to the media after the game but during the game he cried like a little girl not getting her way..

    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????

    Looking at the Cardinals and what is at stake tonight, I also wondered if Coach Landry had second thoughts about scheduling this game.  But I am quite sure he managed the game so as to accomplish what he wanted to while not jeopardizing the district title.

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

    can you tell where he was set up in the pics?  Because they look like different places to me.  You are right he got the hit when it mattered, but should the game have already been over?  Nobody will ever know why the ump called it like he did.

    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.

    Robinson has a history of knocking out southeast Texas schools this deep in the playoffs. They've given BC some fits in the past, and if I'm not mistaken they knocked out LCM last year. 

    Robinson is always a tough out and they also always make a deep run. Going to be a great game!

    They knocked out both BC and LCM last year

    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?
