I heard that 2 starters from kirbyvilles baseball team their ace pitcher matthew mcclelland and their starting 2nd baseman garrett winn were kicked off the team for BEING at a ragball tournament. I think its stupid for kicking them off the team for watching some of the games.

an intramurual sport gamewith the basic concept of baseball. Most the time you have seven boys and four girls play every position with a rover player. You must bat all 11 players it must be boy girl bgbgbg then bbb batting order. Played on your average softball field. Lots of fun.

If this all there is to the story, then this is absolutely ridiculous.  Even if they were playing in the game, and not just watching, the coach is overstepping his bounds here (IF this story is true).  It is not a coach's right to control the legal extracurricular activities of his players at this level, regardless of what some might think.  Don't get me wrong, had they been kicked off because they were caught at a party, or had committed a crime, or had done something of a similar nature, I would commend a coach for kicking them off the team.  But for watching (or even playing) a ragball game?  The only way I can see this as reasonable would be if they had skipped a game or practice to attend the ragball game.  If a college coach (where the kids are getting scholarships to play), or a professional coach (where the players are getting paychecks) wants to institute rules about player activities, then I don't have a problem with it.  Most high schoolers, however, will not play at the next level, and are playing for the love of the game.  They perform to represent their school and community, while receiving nothing beyond encouragement in return.  This is not enough of a reimbursement for coaches to expect their players to not have fun outside of the clubhouse during the season.

I am sorry folks, we do not bash coaches here on the site. I had to delete some posts because of that and I am sorry. If this continues, this thread will be gone. You can voice your opinion on how you would handle this matter, but it is against forum rules to bash a coach. Thank you for your cooperation.

The whole story is that Garrett and Nobby was told not to play with their ragball team by their baseball coach. Well they did not play with us but they did come to watch us play. The coach did tell them they couldn't come watch us play too, but he can't do that. The coach showed up and watched us play and seen that they wasn't playing. When he was going to leave he seen the 2 boys walking back over there to us and stopped and told them they wasn't playing baseball anymore. They told him they wasn't playing and he still kicked them off the baseball team. These 2 did nothing wrong for going with their friends on their own time and watching them play ball.

As a parent of kids in sports myself, I would have to say that I feel that it is my choice where my children go when they aren't at school.  As long as its not interfering with practice or games, then I don't see how it is anyone's place but the parents to make this decision.  Especially since they wern't even playing the tournement.  I know both the boys, they are good kids who don't get in trouble.  They are also great ball players. They did nothing wrong.

My sentiments exactly. I'll be in Silsbee Tuesday night broadcasting the softball game, I'll find out the scoop then.

I'll be glad when this all comes out. So that everybody knows that this is all that there is to it.  As I said before, Garrett is like part of our family.  I know there have been problems this season with them being told they couldn't play, watch, or practice with our team, and of course like most 17 year old boys, they obviously weren't happy with being told they couldn't play.  But I never thought that it would be taken this far.  Afer all they weren't playing.  I was there, as were many others who witnessed that they weren't playing.  I disagree with a coach being able to tell a kid they can't do something outside of the clubhouse, however, that is up to the school, parents, coach as well as player, as to what the boundries are on that.  All that said, I can't see how they can be told that they can't attend a charity fund raiser simply as a spectator.  Regardless of what was said between the coaches and players on this matter before, it still isn't fair for them to be kicked off the team for simply being somewhere, with their parents permission.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      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.
