*Jasper vs. Tarkington 1 Game Series!!! Predictions?*


Recommended Posts

Was it Jasper that wanted a one game series?

Don't know, but that would surprise me if it was Jasper's idea.  But if Jasper wins "the one", then their pitching will be even more rested for the next week.  :)  I think Jasper will fare very well in either format since they now have Stephenson back.

Tarkington wanted 1 game.

That does not surprise me.  What is the story line on Tarkington?  I presume they must have ONE very good pitcher?  Is so, maybe they did not pitch him against Kingwood Saturday?

Hup, where are you?  I know you could give us a good scouting report.  ;)

They have a good ace yes.  I haven't seen Tarkington or Jasper this year so I am not one who can give a scouting report, but I bet it is a tight game.

Jasper can't take Tarkington lightly in a 1 game series.  Brewer for Tark is a tuff lefty who hits his spots when he's on.  I think it's going to be a 1 or 2 run game.  Toss up.

Observations:

I notice that they were drummed out of the playoffs last year in a one-gamer by Needville 4-11.

I noticed one common opponent, HJ.  HJ won 15-2, Jasper split with HJ.  Other than that, not much to go on.

District 22 Records:

                                W    L                W    L    T

Kingwood Park             11   1                17    5    0

Cleveland Tarkington   11    1                19    8    0

Coldspring-Oakhurst     7     5               11   11   0

Splendora                    6     6                 7     7   0

Liberty                        5     7                 5     9    0

Shepherd                     2    10               4    13   0

Cleveland                     0    12                0    13   0

On paper, doesn't look like a very tough district.  But that could be misleading.  Third and fourth place teams only played 500 ball.  Nevertheless, Jasper had better prepare for a tough opponent and a tough game.  One night of mistakes and you go home ...........

Tarkington has the sticks to hit a pitcher that throws 83-85 mph....this game will come down to defense, and if I know tarkington will be hammered to them at practice this week...I believe their motto is "HORNS, DEFENSE, WIN"......we shall see

Tarkington is going to be more of a threat than you think, it will be won by 1 or 2 runs. Does anyone know who's getting the nod for Jasper?

It would be just a guess who will pitch.  Coach Mixon has the ability to surprise at the last minute!

On the other hand, Stephenson is just about as good, just a different style.  Each won a game at state last year.  I would guess that it definitely will be one of those two.  But you never know with Mixon .........

Last year against Bellville, Jasper pitched Ryan Ellis in the first game of a double header.  I expected to see Parson's on the mound to start the second game.  Wrong, Ryan Ellis started the second game also, and pitched the allowed three innings.

Tarkington is ok at best but you cant take anyone lightly in the playoffs. They have 1 pitcher a righty that throws about 82-84 at best with an ok curve ball. They dont hit the ball very hard but they do put it in play alot. They have a good SS who can hit and field well other than that they dont have much. JP should dominate and with that said Jasper 12-2  ;D

    • High Point walks it off.  Vandy Whistler headed home!
    • 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.
