  1. I have watched every Nederland game but one.I believe that 75% of the games they played in especially early in the season the wind was blowing in pretty hard.The dogs hit some shots that would have carried out if not for the wind.As for as the kid that was not brought up.I do know when he ran triangles with the varsity he was the only player that did not meet the time required for all of the team to finish conditioning.I know the seniors were pretty upset with his effort.Might of had something to do with him not being moved up.I know he is very talented but the coach has to worry about chemistry.If the younger players faced the same pitching as varsity players in unfriendly hitting conditions the homerun totals would be close IMO and you probably would see higher strike-out totals. 
  2. My prediction was that Nederland would win some close games and move on to the next round.I think Raines has to get back into the rotation for Nederland to win the next series.Having a stud like Mitchell Sanderson is the reason the Dogs are moving on.That along with Ramoine's effort last night followed by great third base play today.I do not feel like Nevala had his best stuff in this series but competed and looked like Houdini at times.The Dogs have played close games this year and won most of them.Hope they can keep the magic going.Keep finding a way to win dogs.P.S.It was not all pitching that won the series Feltman and Sampere with big homeruns and hitting for the series along Wood,Raines and Broussard who carried good averages for the series.Time to go hunt Hippos!
  3. Nederland's hitting is taking a lot of heat for the loss.The hitting conditions ,with cold high winds blowing in, were terrible.Nederland set up Dayton's runs with two high throws from fielders and they took advantage of the mistakes.Nederland had just as many hits as Dayton but did not make Dayton pay for their mistakes.With out the two bad throws I feel like it would have been a 0-0 game going into the seventh.Great job by Dayton's pitcher only giving up one free pass with a hit batter and keeping the ball out of the happy zone most of the game.Hope Nederland's hitters get out of their comfort zones at the plate and make adjustments to pitchers or they will have plenty of time being comfortable at home watching the rest of the play-offs.
  4. Dayton did a great job getting a win at their place.Dayton's pitcher kept the ball low and away most of the night and the umpire was giving it to him.Ned. hitters kept coming back to the dug-out complaining about the strike zone instead of moving in and forcing him to come inside.I expected more from this group.Nederland better pick up the intensity tomorrow or Dayton will be enjoying a little pay back for football season!
  5. Nederland has 4 losses on the season.Two of them to 5A top ten teams and 1 run losses to the second and third place district finishers.Last year, Nederland found a way to lose games.This years senior heavy team has played a lot of close games and found a way to win most of them.Fun to watch teams that have confidence in close games.I look for this to be a good series with the Dogs winning some close games to move on to the next round.
