No they did not have a gun on him, though when they rated the arms from outfield he received a 4 when other varsity players only got a 3.

Actually he and Leggett both got a 3.5 but your still just talking about someone's opinion. If your not putting a gun on them then you don't really know. It's just a guess. My rating and a rating from someone else is probably going to be totally different, just like my opinion of 80's is probably a little different from yours. If I'm putting someone's pitching velocity on this or any other forum it's because I know that someone checked it with a radar gun. Keep in mind also that if your going to pitch at the Varsity level you better have more to offer than just an 80 mph fastball. Fastball's at the varsity level are just batting practice unless you have another pitch or 2 to keep them off balance.

Like I stated before, none of these kids are ready for Varsity baseball. It would be a shame to put them at this level and set them up for failure. They will have more than enough competition at the JV level.

Thompson threw a bull pen at practice yesterday and was throwing in the 80's.I heard he pitched pretty good though I've never seen him.I heard from other Varsity players that Thompson would be on Varsity.

Did they have a radar gun on him and if so what did he top out at? I've seen all of the freshmen pitchers many times and Leggett is by far the best pitcher in this class. I've also talked to more than one umpire that called several of these kids games last year and during the summer and they are of the same opinion. They all agree that Leggett is the top pitcher. If anyone does any pitching with the varsity during preseason or tournaments it would be just to have the extra arms available. If it happens, it should be Leggett. If any freshmen end up on Varsity it will be a wasted year for them and a lot of bench time and I believe it would have to be based on influences other than the players ability.

No they did not have a gun on him, though when they rated the arms from outfield he received a 4 when other varsity players only got a 3.

actually the varsity players that matter from the outfield received a 4 (Colby Henscey) and 5 (Jay Burditt) respectfully... the other starter Padgett is in basketball so wasnt out there for it

I know all the Jr's and seniors if any sophmores or freshman are up it will be to possibly help with some pitching in tournaments and to carry the water jug and equipment

First off, I want to say good luck to all of the participants in BH's softball and baseball programs.

Second, I want to remind parents that these are kids and they play because they love the game and they care about their teammates.

Don't analyze every strikeout or booted ball. Baseball is funny game ,what may cause angst in one inning may provide for atonement

in another.

Wow!  Haven't even played one scrimmage yet and you are already ripping coaches and players.  You dads might want to scroll down a few threads and read the article about parents/coaches.  Might prove very insightful to group such as yourselves.

Wow ! Haven't even played one scrimmage yet and you are accusing the dads of ripping the coaches. Truth be told, the only "ripping" or negatives I've seen on this thread are from kids or players.....not dads. Thanks for your insightfulness.

Well who ever predicted that they would go with all seniors, hit the nail on the head.  I think it is the right decision and the proof is in the scores.  Don't coach for the future when you have the talent to coach for this year.    I think the freshmen class is very talented and I think that players like Leggett, Thompson, Bonnin, could play varsity and would at weaker programs, but not when you have the group of seniors Barbers Hill has this year.  The way they hit the ball, if the pitching can hold up they will go a long way.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      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.
