To dp643 & Big Poppa, you guys are wrong again. I dont think that TLU players would come in here and post with people like me  & you, they are too smart. I am just a baseball fanatic that follows baseball (Juco,D2 & D3). Go UT Tyler & represent the ASC in regionals.

TLU will always be in the hunt for a conference championship, because the coaching staff gets players that believe in TEAM first, but the conference should not punish them by not getting any position players on the first team.

Its still a joke that TLU did not get any position players on the first team. My opinion.

Without teammates that get on base your other teammates could not drive you in.

If you want to play the game of suppose: Suppose if Femath hadn't walked (24 times to 6 or HBP 10 to 0) he would have gotten more hits dont you think. Both players are good, but TLU should have had position players on the first team (Nokelby,Femath or Childress). In every league (baseball,football,etc.....) the first place team usually gets the most players in the first team (except the ASC).

I would rather have a player like Femath on my team (all confernce team) that gets 69 hits and scores 59 runs ,than someone that hits 11 homeruns and only scores 35 runs.

Exactly, those are just offense numbers, what happened to the best all around position player. If you compare the defensive plays that Femath made, to the plays that Smith made, their is no comparison. Femath got to balls that no second baseman in the conference could get too. I believe Femath had 2 conference errors & 6 all year long ( to include the playoffs), with alot more chances (covered alot of ground).

I agree with swbaseball3, You win the conference and only get two pitchers on the first team. Nockelby was the best clutch hitter in the conference & Femath not only had good numbers on offense, but was also the best defensive second baseman in the conference. I guess this year they went with the popular vote & not the best all-around position player (both offense & defense).
