BB: USAC: USA South Athletic Conference

NARCH - thanks for coming to that conclusion but my teammates know how i am and how i am about the game of baseball, as well as our win loss record. they know they did not play up to par and for you to criticize me for giving my teammates constructive criticism is wrong. you are wrong.
i dont care what quaker says to be honest with you, good for them this weekend. they can all be happy they went on a winning streak for the first time in years. i continue to post on this board because i am a competitive player and want noting more than for myself and my team to perform at their max and maybe getting under their skin a little bit helps to achieve that goal.

my teammates are were so excited i pitched how i did.. you think i was the only player on the pride that wanted to "shove it".. we wanted to win.. if it was about simply bashing each other and fighting i would have hit the first batter in the mouth.

and i am following my own advice, "just play baseball." I pitched my ass off and as a team we could not win. that won't happen very often.

oh and the lynchburg game. not saying i am full of excuses but that was my first start as a pitcher in 3 years and in 07-08 i didnt even play baseball... so for me to pitch well enough against lynchburg to allow my team to win was a huge accomplishment for me and my team..

but i appreciate your concern about everything. =)

get over yourself, you too quaker..

CNU, how is Bailey's frame looking this year?

Not sure. I don't get to many games. Games during the week are played when I'm at work. Many Saturday games are when I work (ugh). I try to make a few games year, but I lost a little interest in baseball once I stopped coaching and then my son stopped playing a few years ago. I'll get it back soon. Of course, a 4-0 start and beating a ranked team always elevates the interest level!!

Looks to me that Bailey has added some muscle...particularly in the lower body...compared to when I saw him last at Regionals last year.

Where you on the bench last year when you gave up almost 28 total bases to one kid in one game last year?

E9 "Were"

'nova - with the posts over the last few weeks, it's more like E1 through 9...tough to read, in part because the english language is being hacked to pieces

righthander - you and i just see things differently, my man...i can't imagine being pleased with one of my teammates if they puffed themselves up and bashed me in a public forum such as this, but every team is different - i know that wouldn't fly if you were a monarch...it seems that the team culture at gc is drastically different than it is at mu

re: the lynchburg performance...based on what i've seen here, i've got to believe that if the gc bullpen gave up 6 runs in 4 innings on the back end of one of your games, you'd be chastising them in this forum, rather than hailing it as a triumphant effort - i could be wrong, though...apparently we'll see

narch - Yes, you're right. Somehow, that one just struck a chord. PS How many guys knew "chord" and not "cord" was the error-free word in this fielder's choice? lol It's time to play college ball!

randomguy · February 17, 2009, 08:52:25 AM

on a side note, what happened to the USASAC this past weekend? I was expecting the opposite records from the challenge.

first i didnt bash anyone and i apologize if the monarchs are soft and get a pat on the back for messing up.. thats a real good way to better yourself. you act like im gonna give congrats to my team for blowing a lead and not performing was all as everyone knows that can. im not the head coach but as an experienced collegiate athlete i feel i am privileged enough to tell a teammate or two to pick it up!! i didnt know baseball turned into a bunch softies...
but i guess the monarchs and pride look at the game of baseball differently

HighHeat · February 17, 2009, 01:11:14 PM

Righthander, you have earned a lot of respect from me lately for defending yourself on here. But, that being said, I would stop with throwing other teams under the bus. It is only going to cause you issues that you dont want to deal with. Let you throwing on the field do the talking for you. You are a talented pitcher and let that be enough to shut the other team up.

so calling out your teammates in a public forum isn't bashing them...ok, i can agree with that - can we agree that it's not something you see very often? - i watch a lot of college and pro sports, and it's not often that you read/hear teammates speaking as you have in a public forum...what happens in the locker room is another issue

i never said that mu athletes weren't held responsible by their teammates within the confines of the team, just that they have enough class, dignity and respect for one another not to bring it out in a public manner...you seem to have difficulty understanding that this forum is very different from the team setting

Quote from: TheRightHander on February 17, 2009, 12:04:36 PMyou act like im gonna give congrats to my team for blowing a lead and not performing

yet your 4.1 inning, 6 run performance was "giving your team a chance to win" or something to that nature...i see the (double) standard to which you hold yourself and your teammates

Quote from: TheRightHander on February 17, 2009, 12:04:36 PMwas all as everyone knows that can.

wow...just wow...i hope that you command a slider better than you do the english language

i think you're spot-on!

Each team is treated differently, one coach may treat his players like men, while another may micromanage every single player, each coach is different.

Moving onto the righthanders comments about his teamates, i dont see the problem with it so long as he is willing to take the heat if he doesnt perform well. You see and hear these kinda of comments all of the time.

Catfishncwc · February 17, 2009, 01:52:25 PM

righthander, all I know is that as a former player in this conference I for one can not see why you are all about talking yourself on this forum or talking on this forum as a player period. This can not reflect good on yourself, your teammates and school in general. If my coach were to find myself or any of my teammates writing on this board as a player I am sure my days at practice would be filled with a lot of running.

Call me old school, but that's also the way I see it.
