Jasper vs Salado


Recommended Posts

Huffman, Robinson.  Please weigh in here.  You have played both teams. 

It is so hard to judge teams from totally different areas.  Frankly I was surprised to learn that Salado is in Region III.  Comparing won-loss records against totally different teams is rather meaningless.  For example in 2007 when Jasper made it to the state tournament, they had the worst record of the four teams.  Short version.  Jasper won both State games scoring 25 total runs, stealing about 20 bases, and setting a number of state tourny records in the process.

Sorry the previous post is the similar teams both have played.  I agree someone from either of those two teams input would be great.

I did not see the game against Salado; however, I was really surprised that their games against Lorena were so close.

I did see our guys play Lorena in both district games and both were decisive wins.

Play your game, hit the ball and don't make errors and I think you'll advance.

Also in that title game the Dawgs caused the highly touted will middlebrooks who was being drafted in the 5th round of MLB draft to be pulled early from the mound for the first and only time in his highschool career. He was 13-0 to that point for that season.

Middlebrooks didn’t throw against Jasper in 07. He threw the day before

True.  Middlebrooks played shortstop against Jasper.  I think Jasper's base running speed may have gotten to him a bit as he let a hard hit ground ball go cleanly between his legs.  That was a day that just about everything went right for the Dogs.

But still Jasper beat up a very good hard throwing Liberty Eylau pitcher that also had a very good record.  One thing to remember is that Liberty Eylau was the defending state champion.

It was surreal that while the game was going on the MLB draft was going on.  Middlebrooks could have gone in the first round but he would not commit to signing instead of going to college.  Each round Boston (as I recall) called to ask if he had changed his mind about committing.  Finally they took him in the fifth round; and he eventually signed anyway for what  probably would be considered first round money at that time.

Middlebrook did pitch in the semis.  Zach Fowler, who also was drafted after college, pitched against Jasper.  Zach was the MVP of the State Tournament the year before, and was 11-0 at that point in the season--I think it was.  If memory serves me correctly, his dad was LE coach's at the time.   I also saw where Zach is now the head coach at LE.  

I remember watching Will warm up before the game and was very glad he had pitched the day before..man he could bring it.

That was a special group Jasper had.  I think they hit the ball through their line-up about as good as any team I have witnessed.   This current group is up there as well.

Good luck Dogs.  Hoping to make the Saturday game(s).

I have only seen this Jasper team once.  If the one game is somewhat representative of this squad I would say the huge difference between 2018 and 2007 was the 2007 team aggressiveness on the base paths.  Then Jasper had runners that literally would sometimes steal all the way to home.  Walk to first, steal second, steal third, and then steal home.  I have never personally seen anyone else do that.  And Taylor Hart did it against a very good Bridge City catcher.

Of course, every team has its own personality, and clearly the 2018 Dogs have their own ways to win games.

Saw last weekends games and saw the tourney run by Shawn's boys.

 If I remember correctly back in 07 Jasper had a bunch of sore arms come late playoff and State Tournament time and they had to drastically change they way they had done things for most of the year to play to a new found strength. That's the sign of great coaching. We've got that again here.

 From what I saw last weekend this Bulldog team was much better than a very good Robinson team. I also saw both games vs Hudson this year. This years group is solid.

Now the above is coming from an old man who now resides in Carthage but the one true difference between the two teams sits on the ring finger of the 07 players and coaches from Jasper.

Hopefully by the end of next week we can call the two teams equal.

Saw that the head baseball coaching job was open at Salado about 2 months ago already. Anyone have any scoop on the situation there? They are a perennial baseball power but it seems that they keep losing coaches. They had a good one leave there about 3 or 4 years ago and then hired a young guy that is now leaving. If anyone has any info, please inform.

True, Jasper's power throwing pitching "Ace" was limited to playing shortstop.  But the other two starters more than picked up the slack  Of course Jasper scoring 25 runs in two games didn't hurt...

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
