Buna vs HF the 19th


Recommended Posts

Hoping to see some solid baseball out of Buna tonight.  Defense has been inconsistent thus far and teams in our district will make you pay for walks and errors as was the case in Silsbee.  I don't really think the boys are swinging the bats that bad.......sometimes you just keep hitting at someone.  They just haven't really had that big inning where 3-4 guys string some solid hits together.  It will come, but the boys are going to have to press the issue, nobody is going to hand it to them.  Looking forward to seeing this team form their identity and watching them work.  Goodluck tonight to both teams but I sure am hoping to see Buna come out on top.

Think Buna wins this game...glad to see Buna using their talent more efficiently than in the past. Noticed that they have used one of the areas more athletic ball payers in more than one capacity...that player being Glen Patrick. Getting that kid envolved in the field can't do anything but help. Of course it's hard to take him out from behind the plate but the Palmer kid makes that a much easier decision...he has been very consistent as well as an asset at the plate. Buna will get back on track to another playoff run starting tonight with a win over HF. People don't realize it but Buna has a great deal of talent especially in your Soph. And Jr. Ages ie...Franchise Baseball kids! Those kids will work their butts off to be winners!

You do remember that they moved to 21-3A this year right????  Not so sure about this year being in the playoff hunt.  But playing in a great district like 21-3A will only make them better IMO.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
