From my understanding Comstock from Tarkington has only allowed one run all year and that was the run tonight. Is that true?

His ERA in district play was zip, not sure about all year as he was injured for part of it. Was the run tonight scored earned? I thought the runner reached on error, and I think there was another that inning but I may just be thinking about the mental errors. Doesn't really matter, thats all for stats, the only one that mattered tonight was the W. Both pitchers did a heck of a job, umps were solid, fans behaved unless I missed something. Pretty clean game if you don't include the sprinkler incident. Game could have gone either way, Horn's order spreads their hits and produces very few runs (all year). Tigers are obviously are a more honed baseball machine, Horns are scrappy at times, not enough tonight. 

Btw, for those watching, the base running error by the Horns in the first was because on the HNR the ball bounced such that by the time the runner picked it up he thought it was a caught pop up (didn't see the bounce in front of the mound that made it look like a pop up). The throw to first to get the batter he presumed was the double play throwback on him after he had already rounded 2nd and thus the 3rd out. Not "my" kid, I'm not making excuses for him, but he's a heck of ball player and it was just an unfortunate series of events, starting with the HNR that put him in that spot.  It happens, but it wasn't because he didn't have his head in the game.

Sorry for the double post, first one didn't include quote...

      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.
