I thought they sent King to AAA. What is he doing back up and why are they pitching him. He didn’t even record an out and Blubaugh’s 2nd bad night in a row.

Blubaugh is usually effective, not tonight. Hung on for the much needed win. Looked like a Bridge City man pitched some in relief for the Phillies

It is certainly an up and down season. For some reason when they pitch good, they don’t hit and when they hit, they struggle on the mound. They are having a hard time putting it all together Luckily they are probably in the weakest division in the major leagues

EyeNoBetter, You are certainly correct on just about everything you stated. I disagree with the secondary. They game up the winning TD to WB on a 4th down play and were no where in sight on WOS 1st TD. Most of the tackles vs WOS running game were made by the DL I have heard as well as you that football and baseball is extremely effected by parental influence. I heard that some of the better players are not starting because of this. If this is the case, it is ashame

Defense was not the problem vs WOS. The DL played pretty good, the LB ‘ers played hard, they are just slow, and the secondary is the same as the past several seasons, extremely poor They must have the worst secondary coaches in southeast Texas The offense is the major problem. The QB threw well from 1-5 yards, but couldn’t throw longer than that. They have not had a good QB in a long time. The last 2 were good athletes, just simply not QB’s. They could have been good receivers or running backs. The receivers look a little better this year. I couldn’t tell if the RB’s are any good because the OL is absolutely horrible. I am not sure they blocked anyone the entire game vs WOS IMO they will be 3-7 if the OL doesn’t improve quickly

Baddog glad to see Javier finally have a good game. I know it is rare for him to pitch good but glad he did

Yes aggiesarewe, they were 7-4 in 2024 However I said they have been bad for several years. They were 7-4 that year but they were not a good team The last 3 games showed that, especially the Texas High game where they were embarrassed. The 2 seasons you have correct about being pretty good were 2020 and 21

You are absolutely correct NHS, however they lost the last 4 games because of a defense that was bad. The Montgomery game, where if they would have won, they would have been 2nd and would have hosted got a playoff game. However the defense completely shut it down in the last quarter vs Montgomery and then proceeded to travel to Texarkana, where they completely been embarrassed I really believe Texas High could have scored a 100 if they would have wanted to

Thanks aggiesarewe, however several to me is more than 3 and 25, 24, 23, 22 were bad, that is more than 3. If several is more than 4 to you, then you are correct, however the record posted from 25-22 was 15-27

The only years that you have with a good season is 2020-2021. 2021 they set at the house with a 4-3 district record. Don’t even mention 2024 when they chocked in the last district game and got embarrassed by Texas High, a team that PNG beat in the playoffs. Why did they get embarrassed Can you say because their defense was horrible you are still tremendous with stats, however you still have no answer about what it takes to win

Yes that was a question, why because several posters raved about all the talent they had this season. It was a sarcastic post because of all the ones bragging about all this talent. When I saw the WB game, I sure didn’t see a lot of talent. If they have this talent, they sure didn’t show it. Again, let me emphasize, when you lose several years in a row, you have a losers mentality, unless the coaching staff can change it. I simply do not think they have a quality coaching staff and that is my opinion

I never in my post said they were talentless. I said obviously there is not MUCH talent

I got you but 26 a game is pretty sad look at the last 4 years, right at 30 a game you may call that ok, but I sure don’t. Good defense to me would be averaging 14 or less. I would not call averaging anything above that good

Good pitching tonight, just need to start hitting. If they can put those two together they will be tough to beat. The big problem now is that they are struggling hitting with risp

I certainly understand what your saying which is a good point, however when you average giving up that type of average for several seasons in a row, I question talent level, coaching, and team’s mentality. I would imagine you would have a lot of doubts about winning when you have been losing for several years with most games not even being close
