Vidor overcomes tough road to move on

Gabriel Pruett

The Orange Leader

VIDOR — Six games in 10 days.

A schedule like that may be more suited for a MLB team but not a high school squad.

That is what the Vidor Pirates had to face just to get into the Class 4A Region III playoffs this season, a first since 1965.

The Pirates start their playoff push tonight against Barbers Hill at 7 a.m. at Lamar University’s Vincent Beck Field with Game 2 slated for 7 p.m. Friday at Baytown Lee High School. Game 3 specifics are still yet to be determined.

This past weekend showed the kind of character that Vidor Coach Kyle Green has grown to know the Pirates have inside.

Friday saw the Pirates get blasted by District 22-4A champion Little Cypress-Mauriceville 10-0 in five innings at Pirates Field.

The loss left the Pirates in a tie for the last playoff spot out of the district with the Nederland Bulldogs, a team known for making the playoffs year in and year out.

To add to the fire, the game was to be played in Nederland.

All the Pirates did was go out and beat the Bulldogs 9-0 to secure the spot.

“That was a tough situation,†Green said. “Six games in 10 days can take a toll on anybody, especially a coach. The situation came down to that LC-M physically beat us up. It would have been easy for us to lay down but we showed a ton of character. Our kids were back up at the school at 9 a.m. the next day to head to Nederland. I have been telling them all year that if we take care of us, everything else would fall into place.â€

Now Green expects to see a Barbers Hill team that features two left-handed pitchers who both can hit the 85 miles-an-hour range with offspeed pitches to keep batters off balance.

“It is not going to get any easier from here on out,†Green said. “We have to continue to play fundamental baseball. We can’t make mental mistakes. This is a special group of kids. We don’t have that one guy who is going to hit three or four homers in a week and don’t have a guy who is going to throw 87. What we do have is a group of guys who go out and do the best they can.

“As for as pressure, I am sure there will be some butterflies on Thursday. Not many of these kids have even seen a playoff game. We will have some jitters but hopefully we will get rid of those early.â€

Two well coached teams, one with tons of big game experience and one with the deer in the headlight look.  What is the only thing that could happen?

THE FIGHTING "GREEN" PIRATE BASEBALL TEAM IS GOING TO SHOCK THE WORLD.

Turn up the heat Kyle and don't look back!  Doesn't everyone love the underdog?  Doesn't everyone love a success story? Wouldn't it be great...

    • 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.
