Anyone that was at the game care to comment on the 4 balks?  That’s pretty rare this deep in the playoffs. 

3 were called for not coming set. I wasn’t actually watching the pitcher on any of them. However I don’t know that I’ve ever seen so many called like that. Seemed odd. If he actually wasn’t coming set, none were deceiving runners or anything like that. The other was a lefty pick off to first. I’ve seen the same move a thousand times not called a balk. They also called an OF hitter for leaning into a pitch that was overturned by field umpires. Seemed like they were antsy to make calls that didn’t need to be made, but maybe could have been. The hit by pitch call should never have been made though. However OF had lots of opportunities to win the game and it just didn’t happen. Not blaming it on umpires, just venting.

I wasn't at the game, but the 4 balks seem quite fishy to me and this is the 1st I'm hearing about the leaning into a pitch situation.

You know my father is Tracy Franklin we both know the truth 

I think you are very mistaken. I have no quarrel with Coach Franklin.

My only beef is that you questioned a poster about a team wanting a 1 gamer as a no brainer. You stated it was too risky and why should a coach do such a thing.

I can repost what you stated if you like.

Where in my post does it state he shouldn’t do such thing please enlighten me don’t change the subject because you just told a lie to save face. It all looks good on paper because rusk won 3-2 the game could have easily went the other way. I was looking at the hypothetical. You can quote the post and all but I guarantee if you were to ask the coach from rusk if it was a “no brainer” he would say otherwise. He would tell you it was a long thought decision. It wasn’t a decision he made in one second. And to think that a high school kid can’t have a bad night on the mound is asinine, no matter how good of a pitcher he is.

You are special!  The coach from Rusk and many other coaches would choose a 1 game playoff with the staff Rusk has.  China Spring game for example...Thompson went 7 and their #2 with 6 scoreless.  So the Rusk coaching staff put about 2 seconds of thought into whether they wanted a 1 game playoff or a series.

Thank you I served my country honorably. He thought way longer than 2 seconds I promise you that

Good....Your credentials would prove nothing.  The fact of the matter is that the decision for Rusk was a NO brainer!  Who plays next week?!?! 😉

Hopefully my hometown team wins tomorrow they already beat Cameron 4-2 on Wednesday

The reason you will have more balks in playoffs is the neutral umpire crews assigned to work the game. Was it a split crew or was it a Neutral crew, that would be one that is assigned by the UIL? The crew that worked the previous series, Orangefield vs HJ was a Beaumont Chapter. Where I could rip on their mechanics, they were very solid with both plate jobs. BTW, it takes big balls to walk in the winning run, especially in the playoffs...

Well, I only point to this.  During that inning, Gary Stelly noted that Coach Erickson said absolutely nothing about the balk called except for after the final balk call when he took a couple of steps out of the Bobcat dugout and had a couple of words.....for his pitcher.  He then returned to the dugout.

Now, before I lay out the possible alternatives, I will acknowledge that Tim Erickson is reputed to be a very easy going guy.

That being said, his silence can be explained a couple of ways: 1) That Erickson has patience not seen since, well, Job; or 2) he saw the same thing that the umpire who called the balk was seeing.  His reputed good nature notwithstanding, I would tend to go with scenario #2.

      Bridgeland vs Tomball

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      Tomball takes wild 2nd game 8-6. Both teams had 3 E's. Tomball gave up a late lead but first game pitching star Sampson nailed a 3 run homer to push Tomball to victory.

      My understanding is that the falsification of records was the crime that he was convicted of… but for it to have been a felony act, it had to have occurred in the furtherance of another criminal act. The prosecution had to first prove that the criminal act of falsifying documents had occurred. IF the jury believed that records were falsified, they were given three possible criminal acts… any one of the three would allow a felony conviction. The instructions stated that for any of the 34 charges, all twelve of the jurors had to agree that records were falsified, but they also had to believe that the records were falsified in the furtherance of at least one other, different crime. Six jurors could believe that Trump was falsifying records to avoid paying taxes… the other six could believe that it was skirt around election laws. The jurors didn’t have to agree on which of the three alleged criminal acts Trump was trying to further by falsifying records, just so long as they agreed that a) the falsification occurred and that it b) occurred to help him cover up another crime (for which he wasn’t charged and never proven to have committed or to have even occurred, for that matter).     Complete pile of crap as a prosecution, in my opinion.     But, we shouldn’t cry if our nominee is the kind of man who bangs porn stars while his wife is at home with the kid, then tries to buy her silence, then breaks the law in regards to falsifying documents to hide the evidence of the coverup.    If you’re wondering why falsifying those records might be illegal, it’s this. Money paid to your attorney for services performed can be deducted from one’s taxes as a legal expense. If the money is paid to a person to settle a personal claim, then the amount would be taxable-the falsification would have been done to avoid taxation. On the other hand, if campaign funds were spent to pay hush money and the records were falsified to hide the violation of campaign laws, then the felony occurred.    The bottom line is this…. They didn’t have enough evidence to indict trump on any of those three things that allegedly happened… but they DID have evidence that the financial records were falsified, so they point at these other acts which can’t be proven to bump the charges on falsification to a felony.    And the reason Trump didn’t take the stand is that he can’t go on the record about whether or not he had sex with Daniels… I’m certain that they can prove it and hang him up on perjury too.    The most delicious irony is this… Trump gave his supporters too much credit for their integrity. He thought they’d turn on him if they found out what he’d done, when in reality they wouldn’t have given a care… Trump’s whole falsifying records and quest for secrecy wasn’t even needed… his followers don’t have moral objections to his sinful acts.

      The Republican Party is dying because of folks like you who want to compromise with socialists and folks that proclaim “from the river to the sea” in reference to Israel.  I don’t want a party that folks such as yourself want to save, may as well be democrats, which you apparently are. My standards haven’t changed, yours have.
