HF BASEBALL


Recommended Posts

Wanted to give a shout out to those HORNS.  I want able to attend first outing against BC, but was able to attend Monday nite's game.  Guys keep up the hard work. Although I'm a long time backer of BC, I am love to watch a good baseball game.  Guys you have nothing to be ashamed of. The pitcher,Wandland, that started has talent, but is developing.  I have heard some really good things on this up and coming.  He has pitched some really good games.  Just laast year he put the hurt on our JV team during our our tournement. There is nothing to say about Johnson.  He his at the top of his game. Infield and outfields really work hard. Guys keeps your heads up and keep your noses to the grind. YOu are young and don't let one error escalate.  I just wanted to let you guys know that you have more backers than in you backyard.  The scoreboard does not always reflect how hard you work.  Just remember your teammates are your family. You have to have each others back no matter what. Remember that only a few get to set put on that feild as a varsity player. It is an Honor and a Privilege.But sometimes we feel that its owed. Believe me, the sooner you guys start acting this way the better you will be.  Your Seniors know this.  Look to them for help. You only have a short time to learn as much as you can from them.  That's the one thing that I can Honestly say about my Cards, no matter what the situation they don't  bring negative attitudes on the feild. They are a machine. One bad play does not affect the next play. One's disagreement does not carry one they feild. GUYS you have got to learn this.  If a visiting team can see what  is going on on the feild, dont you think you might.  You have good leaders in your coaches. Talk with them, work with them. If you are not getting the gas from them to get you  going then bring your own gas can and matches!!!!!!!!!.    GUYS it is very disheartening to see a team that has ALWAYS had pride, heart and the love of the game be reduce to players that hang there heads.  YOU HAVE HAD HARD LOSSES THIS YEAR THEY WERE ALL GOOD FIGHTS.  Your losses have been lost in the last inning. And only by mostly ONE.    Guys there is honor in that

Some good points were made in the above post,(although the spelling and grammar are a bit shaky...lol), but the Horns knew this was coming. They lost all their starters from last year except Johnson,Markum, and Minaldi. And with Johnson only pitching, they replaced 7 of 9 players in the field. The majority of these were filled by Sophomores and Freshmen, and they along with a couple of Juniors are struggling at key times. They knew there would be tough times, especially when you face the best of the best Varsity pitching week in and week out. As the close losses add up, the pressure to perform and win for their Senior leaders becomes a heavy burden on these young players. But make no mistake, there is no quit in these guys because they know they can play, and the experience from this years tough games will carry over and create a confidence for the next couple. HF has had hard times going o-fer in football district, as well as basketball. The mood may be disappointing at the moment, but theres still a few games left to play. I wouldnt count out the Horns in the rest of baseball district. They might just decide to grow up a little in the next few games.

There have been several good points made. I feel like there is still some fight left in the Horns. If you want to make the play-offs, you better come ready to play them. There have been many valuable lessons that should have been learned from this season. I hope the team was taking good notes and comes back next year as a force to be dealt with. Everyone on the team has a role to play. Accept your role, whatever or wherever that might be, and give it everything you've got. Not only will you be a better teammate, you'll build a stronger team.

Go Horns !!!
Finish Strong!!

    • 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.
