We plan to compete hard this year. These teams in the our conference have been showing us disrespect for too long. This team will have 13 juniors and 2 seniors setting the stage for the 07 season. Beware of these Red Devils come February.
Post your comment for your team here.

Jax's problem isn't their lack of pitching it's the lack of hitting.  When you only have one player with a BA over 350, something is wrong.

Jax has the chance to be a team that can sneak up on folks this year. They are supposed to have a couple kids that can throw for them this year that moved in from LA. They have a couple kids that should have a break out year. Zach Thomas is a heck of a player and can play alot of positions. The ussery brothers are very good in the field and were coming around at the plate this summer. Jordan Payer is a very under-rated ball player and could be a dark horse for this team. The Bug's boy has lots of speed and can bunt real well. Baker is a big ole kid that if his body ever catches up with him is going to be a heck of a ball player. Matty Williams is one of the best fundamental catchers I have ever seen but he needs to hit the weights and get that arm in shape. Hood has speed on top of speed and has a good arm.

Overall, Jax is going to be a decent team this year. They need a little more hitting and a little more pitching and they will be a team to reckon with. of course, there is another high school baseball team in Jacksonville, but I guess that wasnt what the question was directed about was it?

Baker of all the people around J-ville you should know that I am the last person to underestimate ya'll. I spend way too much time during the summer with ya'll to underestimate Jacksonville. NP will be ok this year and should return to the state tourney this year. All the pieces have to fall in the right places for us but with hard work and fundamentals we should be able to do it. It isnt going to be easy for us but I think we can get it going again this year.

NOBODY.................... NOBODY!!! from the Jacksonville "underachieving, no-hitting, 6th place in the conf, I'd rather look pretty than play good" baseball team should be talking trash here or anywhere else.  If you guys want to win a conf championship you need to start working on it the day after the season is over, NOT when practice starts in the winter.  How many of you guys were in the weight room, the cage, or even throwing at a tire (non-pitchers should do this too) over the winter?  NONE!!   Instead of talking about how good y'all are "going" to be, why don't you start working on it?

It doesn't take respect to win, you earn respect by playing hard, playing to win, and winning. 

When I say you need to "work" in the off season I don't mean by playing legion ball.  You need to work AFTER legion season is over.   You have to get stronger, faster, and hit better to improve from last season.  Not just one player but EVERYONE on that team.  There are only two baseball players playing football, the rest of you should be hitting the weights and doing speed drills until practice starts.  I have seen a few of you up there but nobody is really killing themselves to prepare for next year.  Kinda just going through the motions.  If you train Half-butt you will play that way and your seasons record will show it. 

I was going into the gym yesterday and you know what I saw?  5 North P players leaving the weight room....... hmmm they made the playoffs last year .............

unfortunately baseball season is too far off. I guess we will have to see about all of this in around four months. Cabot is going to have some young talent. They have West and a couple others that can hit and this summer they had a kid that was on their AA team that was a decent pitcher.

Adrian, buddy, you know I love all you kids just like you are my own, and I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.  But, you can ask anyone I don't "sugar coat" anything,  I am brutally honest and I tell it like I see it.  From the day after legion was over you guys should have been in the weight room and the cage.  Coach Burrows does a great job, with what he has, it's up to you guys to make yourselves better, when he's not around.   I have known and coached most of you since T-ball and if I say something, positive or negative, you can pretty take it as fact.   I know some of you guys are "working" but is it hard enough to actually make a difference (if you work out half rear you will play that way).  I do know, from what I've heard, that allot of you that are training now are in incredibly bad condition.   Another thing you guys should be addressing is your hitting.  Even when we had all-stars when y'all were younger our performances at the plate killed us.  Given the fact that most of Jax's pitchers don't throw all that hard (one guy over 80) you guys should probably be able to score some runs this year.  You have enough talented ball players to really make something happen this year and next.  But, do you have the self discipline, heart, and work ethic to actually make it happen?   If you are going to to compete with SH and JHS you are going to have to "out work" them.    You guys need to get "motivated" and work harder than you've ever worked if you are going to make the playoffs this year.   Not trying to be-little or degrade you guys, just trying to put a foot to your butt and get some motivation started.  I'm tired of seeing you guys under achieve................

and quit talking "smack" let the score board do that
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: ShakBakyBake on October 27, 2005, 02:20:14 pm
Ok your right and I get and understand everything your saying your exactly right. The team does need to work harder than we have ever worked. If you think about it we are. During this time last year we were all sitting at home watching the World Series now were in the gym missing it. For me I need to get faster and stronger. I have been on the weights drinking protein shakes and anything I can do. Because my time is running out only 2 more seaseons to go. Its time for everyone to step up. I think our pitching will be able to hold up if we just can hit spots and pitch smart. We have a excellent pitching coach in coach pulawski. And coach Burrows is the best of the best in hitting mechanics. I cant speak for the whole team but I will work harder pushing my self to the max. But it is hard to get 20+ kids to stay dedicated but I will here u now when Im working out. I will be thinking about what u said. Thank You Appreciate Ya Stay in Touch

I will try to stop talking smack but that will always be in me. You know Me. #40 Baker

AB, if you really feel this strongly about the team, step up and be a leader.  Be the guy that is in EVERYONE's face, getting them motivated, ready to work, ready to win.  You are not the only one that feels this way, I know a skinnyboy that has been working his butt off in football, but he's ready for some baseball.  The two guys that you have for SRs this year are not the most "vocal" kids in the world, maybe a couple JR's need to be.  You don't have to yell and scream to be a leader, but when someone is screwing off, disrupting practice, and causing the "real players" to lose focus GET IN THEIR ARSS!!  All it takes is one screwball messing around and the entire practice is shot.  You don't win baseball, football, or what-ever on game day, you win by busting your butt in practice every day leading up to the game, then what happens on the field is just the end result of hard work.  You are right you only have two years left, two years that will be gone before you know it.  Don't waste those short years by underachieving, the worse thing you can ever say is "I should have........"   The time is now AB, set the example, be a leader, put an end to the kids that are screwing around slowing your progress.  You are a big enough individual if you have to get in someone's face, DO IT, they will, and the team will thank you later..............   Go get em AB, skinny boy will be there in a few weeks along with Cam, those two want to win, but they can't do it by themselves

Dang Kurt you are starting to sound like Hulk Hogan there. Eat your veggies, take your vitamins, say your prayers and lift cadillacs!!!! I have said it for years and I will say it again-J-ville can win if their kids put forth the effort. Coach Burrows knows A LOT of baseball and has a solid belief in fundamentals. The kdis have to buy into that system and dedicate their offseasons to getting better. Heck we have some guys this year that arent doing what they should over here. I have already told them that they are two months behind those other guys whereas the football guys are only a month behind. You HAVE to put the effort into the offseason as much as you do the regular season if not more. Luckily for me I dont have to do basketball this year so I will be able to get immediately into football/baseball offseason. That is going to make some people have to work harder. I believe my kids can do it and I believe that the J-ville kids can do it as well. They just have to want it.

as i said, i am a former jacksonville alumni, so that means i have played under coach burrows, plus i have seen his stupidity in action as well.  so before you start to bad mouth me, make sure you read the entire posts that i put out there.  i said this at the very beginning, i am a former jacksonville alumni.  burrows plays the favorites, i have coached a number of sports from football to softball (baseball included).  he plays people who kiss up to him.  lets see my name out there, ok, in regionals during the summer for softball we placed second and in class A state we placed third, yeah kinda know what i am talking about.  here is why i say he is not all there.  think about this and please dont respond until you understand what this meaning means, "if it aint broke, dont fix it".  he tries to change peoples way of playing.  i know this because he did the same thing to my brother.  he had an awsome tryout and scored high on it and yet he wasnt what they were looking for, but yet he made the Gwatney team, doesnt make sense. you be the judge.

It aint all Burrows and anyone will tell you that, to me it seems he can win when he has talent, but lets face it he doesnt have the horses to compete in that conference. Iam not dogging J'ville but they play in a tough conference and they just dont have the right people there right now and wont for a while.

Post by: HSUball2 on January 05, 2006, 09:18:36 am
I agree that we (jacksonville) are in a tough conference probably the toughest in AAAAA considering the final game jonesboro vs. sylvan hills. Burrows is a very good coach and does know what he is talking about, but i do have to go with nation and agree that he does play people who kiss up to him, but MOST of the time those people are the better players on the team so its not really like that. We have the talent to be a contender this year, we will just have to play as a team and not be selfish on the field.

ok ok ok, i have not dogged the talent at all of the jacksonville team.  what defines a coach is not how good he is when he has the horses to do it, but how can he make an average team a great team.  you may not believe me when i say that i am a j-town alumni, but i am.  i just dont think you have the right coach in place for the type of talent you have.  j-ville has always won on talent themselves and that is it, not much coaching going on in the baseball sense for a long time.  this is my last post on this subject, good luck to yall this season and i hope yall do well.

We will just have to see when the season rolls around though, just be ready for some upsets

i agree with baker on the one about bugeater, you should at least have Jacksonville up there cause u just put us down like we don't have a chance, i mean ur kid does start centerfield. i really don't think Cabot will be that good this year, but u have ur opinion too. this is adam by the way. i know u like to keep it real and talk the truth but u could at least put us up there on the list. Fastdrop, what team do u play for or what team do u cheer for (not in a bad way).

Respect is "earned" you want me to think you are a contender, come out and show me some "stuff" starting Feb 20 (my birthday).  Let's see if you guys have learned anything during the off season, or if you are still the same medocre Jax team.

Kurt, ever since i can remember u have been doubting Jacksonville's baseball team but when it comes to football u have all the confidence in the world that they can win state... i mean they can but so can we. I mean the only reason i am still arguing that we might be good this year is because we have something no Jacksonville team has had in a while and that is heart, and i really think that because of that we can make it to state, i mean correct me if I'm wrong but do we not have heart? the attitude adjustments will get straightened out by teammates because we will say something to the ones with attitudes, as well as coach burrows.

Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: XFalkonz on January 08, 2006, 12:52:22 am
this is just my opinion and only my opinion.....when some of the Jacksonville players start taking the game as serious as they do other things they will be very good. I coached alot of those guys this summer and I can tell you this, the ones that played this summer could be extremely good at the game if they will put baseball at the top of their list and not other outside distractions. Just coming to practice and going through the motions is not what is required. WE practiced every day this summer or played a game. There were times that the players were really into practice and there were times that they just went through the motions of me hitting ground balls and working on their swings. When a coach was standing over the top of them they would work, when the coach walked away they would stop working as hard. There were some that stayed until the middle of the night to work on their swings and I have hit a million baseballs to alot of those guys after practice. There were guys that we ready to leave practice five minutes after they got to practice.

Jacksonville has the talent to be an above average team. Most of the talent they have is young and that is ok. Contrary to above posts, they have a great coach that knows alot about baseball and how to coach baseball. Burrows inst the most outgoing person in the world but anyone that has every worked with him before knows that he knows alot about baseball. Those that say that he kisses up to his favorites must be angry that they arent getting the playing time. I know for a fact that Burrows plays the best that he has in the positions that he needs them to play for the team. Sometimes he doesnt have a choice of whom to play and he has to go with what he has, so lay off of Coach Burrows and start listening to him.

This is a direct challenge to those that play ball for Jacksonville. You know who I am and you know that I care for you guys even though I coach at NP. I want you to go out and quit thinking of how the team can help you but rather how you can help the team. Put aside your personalities and your attitudes and your self centered ideas and work to improve your team. You may not have all the talent in the world but baseball is a game that a kid with heart can be as successful as a team with talent because doing the right thing at the right time can be the difference between losing and winning. I know I have to make this same speech to my own team. We have talent as well but we need to make sure that we understand that we have to work extremely hard to win this year. We dont have the guy that slap one out of the ballpark every time he comes to the plate this year. We dont have the guy that has roamed the outfield since he was a freshman. What we have this year is a group of guys that has played together for a couple years that have learned to trust each other and their coaches. This year could be a good year for us as well as Jacksonville but both teams are going to have to work their butts off to get a good year. Good luck to you guys and I will be watching you when I can.

i agree with u Lida 100% and me, bake, tubbs, and jordan have already went out of our way and set up a lil scrimmage within the team so that will be a chance for us to see what we need to work on as a team.i believe that the reason all of us stayed after practice in gwatney to get extra help is because we wanted to get better and be the one to start in their position as well as not upset the team when they are counting on u ..... but what I'm saying is that we really don't have the option of staying after pratice and working on that so we are going to have to take it into our own hands. i mean not to disagree with any of u but we really don't have any attitude problems on the team this year, i just want to know who you guys think has an attitude problem coming from u... what about that game man we need to get one on the schedule

Adam i know that you and those others that you mentioned stayed after alot because i was there with you. Yes there were alot of guys that did stay and you got much better as the year went on in Gwatney. As far as the attitudes that I saw, well I am not comfortable mentioning those in public or in private because it is not my place. All I am trying to say is that you guys will be better if you take the time to get together and work with each other. There may not be an opportunity at the present moment to work after practice but anytime that you get the opportunity to work a little extra, make sure that you take that time.

I know for a fact that Jacksonville will be better this year than the last. We have improved every year since the class of "07" has came up. We have heart as a team and as individual players. We also have alot of young talent that will have to step up this year and we will make sure that they are ready. We only have 1 senior on the team this year, so most of the leadership is coming from juniors. I consider myself as a leader and I am more than ready to step up and teach any of my teammates anything that they need help with.

Nation_66 I figure you know who I am so I will ask this as a professional. I don't know what your axe is to grind with Coach Burrows but do me and the kids that play for him a favor, dont disrespect the man on a message board. If you want to talk about the possibilities of the team by all means do so, if you want to talk about the man in private and dont like him that is fine as well, but dont degrade the man to his players and take shots at him just because you guys didnt see eye to eye. It isnt respectful and it is totally unprofessional.

Slow down there little guy.  I said Akins will be the fastest RB in the 6A East next year, b/c he was the fastest last year, and pretty darn close the year before.  Jax's football team has made the playoffs 3 or the last 4 and the baseball team has been what, 7th.  I love you guys, you know that but coming from 7th to 5th or 4th would be a great improvement.  I hope you guys do make the po's and succeed but I'm not jumping on the band wagon until YOU show me that you are better than a perennial 6th or 7th place team.   The football team on the other hand has all their skill people back on offense and if they plug up the O and D lines they will make the po's and maybe make some noise.  The baseball team on the other hand has had "issues" in the hitting dept (when you only have 1 player with a BA over .400 and only two more over .300 you have problems) over the years and you guys that are Sr's, Jr's, and So's always got beat in post season all star tourneys b/c you couldn't ever hit the ball consistently.   I want you to win and hope you do, show me on the field.

In the post season tourny i belive and i think the people that were on that team will back me up when i say this pitching was the problem more than hitting. im not a football wiz but i think that if u dont have a good o line then u wont have that good of any kind of offense, correct me if im wrong. I understand that akins will be comin back but what other skill players do we have? i also know that u are one our biggest fans but u are also the one who underestimates us the most. When are u gonna come to one of our practices and watch us?

OK, 6th, and I do believe you guys can improve if you put your minds to it.  But, even with the marginal pitching that you had or may have if you hit the crap out of the ball it will make up for it.   I'm not talking about home run hitters either, just guys that can drive the ball and make good decisions on the bases.  It's called "small ball" you put the ball in play, get runners in scoring position, steal, bunt, what-ever it takes to score runs.  But, when you get one guy on, and the rest either ground out or fly out it kills what you are trying to accomplish.   what you guys need to do is find a hitting technique that works for you, fine tune it to perfection and stay in the cage.  Also you need to spend more time in the weight room, you guys aren't the strongest bunch in the world.  Allot of you are "one sport athletes", when you are not playing you need to be lifting.  In sports especially high school, the strongest and fastest usually prevale.  You are a Jr, you have two years left, listen to me and you can accomplish the goals you are setting for yourself and the team.  Think about what it would take for you to play college ball.  Everyone of you need to try to get yourselves to the level where colleges are giving you a "look".     I don't want to hear that "I'm too small to play college ball crap" either.  I was your size in high school and worked my butt off to get what I wanted, you can too.

As far as football goes you have returning starters in Akins, Sebourn, Mattison, Hubbard, Gabriel, and Hood, plus some quality backups that saw allot of time last year.   Plus I think that having a line that is smaller but more mobile will help Jax's O.  If you look at everyone else that runs the spread they don't have the 300 lbers up front they have some 230-250's that can move and provide down field blocking.

Y'all are giving Cabot's baseball team way to much credit. They will be fighting it out for the 6,7, or 8th in the conference. They will start 2 maybe 3 seniors, only have 2 pitchers of any quality. From what I understand someone can put a better team together by players not playing baseball than the current team. How can Cabot's youth baseball teams be some of the best in the state, but not develop into a good high school team. It's coaching. Most kids don't want to play for him. It's not his program is to hard, it's his track record of playing favorites. Plus he will keep 30 kids on the team and give the JV team 4-6 games a year and most times kids only get 2-3 innings per jv game. Basically they are glorified foul ball shaggers, dugout cleaners, and groundsmen. Kids want to play. They work out all season for maybe 12-14 innings per season. The coach is not involved in any summer program to develop his program. Came and watched his players 1 time while they were in Legion ball. So don't count Cabot in the top four for state tourney.

Everyone knows he was a very good baseball player, but we dont need him to win games.  We have good senior leadership and everyone is working hard and getting better.  The comment about last year was just put out there because i know yall hound my coach about playing and thats good becasue we want to play yall just as bad.  As for Baker you dont make yourself look any better if your saying you get beat by team that never practices, and noone ever said we would have went to the tournament if it were 5A, but iam not putting yall down iam just asking yall to show it on the field, instead of talking trash to people on here about it.  I think Lyda needs to work out a scrimmage or something but thats just me.

excuse me about the no practice thing. I beg your pardon about that....we do practice and we practiced alot last year and will do so this year. Granted we didnt have an indoor facility to practice in like ya'lldo but we worked hard on the field and in the the auxiliary gym when we had to. Baker dont believe all the myths about NP baseball...we dont just roll a ball out there and say "Go get'em" LAst year and this year we will practice as much as you guys do and maybe more. We have started 6:30 morning workouts. I should know because it was my idea and it was me there this morning. Mitchell did alot of things last year but he wasnt the "team".There were alot of guys around him that did as much as he did to make our team state bound. Most of those guys are back this year and we will make it again. Oh yeah and as far as the 5A comment goes, well we played five 5A games and only lost one of those and that was because we pitched everyone we had in a game right before the state tourney and still almost won it with a couple of pitchers that had no experience. Dont talk about what you dont know.

i didn't literally mean Mitchell was the team i meant he was like the third coach and i do believe that yall have good senior leadership with Tyler, Zach, Scott, and mansfield and prolly have a good shot at state and making it past the 1st round, j/k (dont get all worked up over that and think I'm talkin trash) Lyda all i have to say for u is that u are my role model, i think during the summer u should take over the single A and double AA teams in gwatney...... yall really started 6:30 workouts. for the indoor facility thing i kinda wish that we didn't have it so that we could actually practice on ole bobby Joe's field a little more so we could win some home games this year. i do believe that our conference and classification is harder but yall do what u had to do last year and got where we didn't so good job. who's playin short this year is it peters or what?

Football0622 shut up ya'll beat us one time wow. Ya'll went to the tournament wow if you were in 5A there would be no hope for u guys's. Just get ready for your first practice the day before your first game. Anyways thanks lil A for holding the fort down. Man we ready for ya'll whenever im talking to all the teams everywhere. And why do you cats keep thinking we just think and breathe this site we do this in class you idiot. Holla Back #40 Jacksonville Baseball Squadron :P ;D >:( ;)


Baker Holla Back #40

Hey Bak, before you come on here or anywhere else and start telling people what to do and generally talking smack, look in the mirror.  Ask yourself how much time you spent in the weight room, in the cage, and working on you game.  Ask yourself what you have done to improve that 9 second 60 time.  Ask yourself what you have done to raise that sub .300 batting average.  Ask yourself if you've worked your butt off to be the best player you can possibly be.   B/c until every single one of you put forth the effort to improve your individual game your team's game will not be any better.   Then when you've done everything you can to get better you can come back on here and talk 1/2 the smack you have been talking.  Look at the two teams from your conf that were in the state championship.  I don't see SH or JB coming on here "saying" how good they were or how good they will be, they are out working to get better, to improve their game, and to get back to where they were last year.  Jax has a REAL big problem in football and baseball, they talk waaaayyyyyyy to much BS without being able to back it up on the field.  You don't get to the top of the mountain by talking $hi) all the way up, when you do you are more likely to slip in it and slide back down.  I've been preaching weight training for years, and nobody will listen, you guys need to get stronger and faster in order to compete with the SH's, JB's, and Searcy's then you need to spend enough time in the cage and hitting off the tee, so much time that your hands are sore.   Develope a "work ethic" then develop a championship team, THEN develop the crap talking.  I would be embarrassed and ashamed if the much smaller cross town school had a reason to talk crap to me.  Just the fact that they even stayed on the same field as you guys should be motivation enough for you guys to get ps'd off enough for a little revenge.  But, what do you do, you come on here and talk crap.  You furnished 6th in the conf last year, shut up, improve, then run your yap.

If he's actually talking crap, belittling his team mates and talking down to other players I'll take care of him, trust me.  But, if he's trying to lead, trying to get other players motivated, and trying to get players to work harder that is his job, along with all the other upper  classmen.

I know you guys were working hard, doing the speed program etc, but you can not start working out a month or two before the season and hope to get anything out of it.  Improving yourself and improving your "skills" is a full time job.   Now I've come up and challenged you guys.  You guys make the playoffs and I'll spring for the grub and refreshments after the season.  If you guys don't make it you ALL work out with me starting in August running up until you start your regular practices.     ANY takers?

The point I'm trying to make is I feel that Jax has allot of talented ball players on their team, a few that have the potential to actually play at the next level.   I know your strengths and your weaknesses as well as anyone.  I can help all of you with one of the main weaknesses you have but if I have to kick you in the butt myself, to get you working out "properly" I'll do it.   I want you guys to win just as much if not more than anyone else.   I'm not saying you can't or won't make the playoffs, but you guys have allot of hard work to do and are doing way too much "talking" for a team that finished 6th.

Post by: XFalkonz on January 13, 2006, 11:08:45 am
yeah Peters looks to be the SS this year. Yes your conference was and is better than ours is in baseball because of the tradition that is in that conference. White Hall, Crossett, Stuttgart, Monticello have all been state contenders in the last 10 years, but SHHS, WM, J-boro have been more than contenders. I am not upset with a little smack talk, what I am upset with it the myths about our program. Our program has steadily moved up since the 1-19 season of three years ago. I swore to all the is holy that we would never have another season like that if I had anything to do with it. I have doubled my workouts and spent time in summers working with my kids and kids from other schools. I worked with any kid that played ball with us this summer because I dont care if they play for me or Coach Burrows or any other school. If they want to learn to play the game and I can help them be more successful then that is what I am going to do. Kurt and Tyler are trying to say something important....you have to learn to walk the walk THEN talk the talk. Do you really think that our kids want to get up before the sun comes up and go to the gym and see me in all my glory at 6:30 AM? Do you think I want to be up an hour before I have to so that I can open up the gym? No to both but I tell you this....the feeling that we had going to the state tourney last year was worth all of it. The feeling of winning games in the tourney will replace that euphoria. I know what my kids have to sacrifice to get there and I want you guys across town to have the same feelings as our kids. That is why I say what I say in the summer and I yell and hollar and get on ya'll all the time. If you notice the NP guys during the summer when I get all over them, they know that what I am saying to them will help them in some ways and they accept it. Nope they dont like it, but if it makes them better to swallow their pride then they do it. The J-ville guys that stayed with me this summer after practice and worked into the wee hours of the night in a cage with very little lighting started to get the idea of what it takes to sacrifice. Adam, Tubbs etc. you guys have to work your butts off and YOU know it. Now what you have to do is get the others to go with you and do it.

Now i know yalls little freshmen who aint even played a game yet is not on here talking trash about my team or last year.  First of all, i hear about how good you are and this big stud, thats great.  You dont need to be on here talking trash when you didnt play us last year or even have anything to do with j'ville baseball last year.  You just need to keep to yourself and hope you dont get rocked that first game you pitch.  I'm not trying to dog you but i dont appreciate you coming on here talking when you weren't even around last year, go back to daycare little boy.  Come talk to me when you hit puberty.

hey Tyler buddy, sorry to ruin ur fun talkin about our freshman stud but that is Ricky tomboli not Seth. To the Marion "Richard" y did u even click on this link or better yet post if u aren't even in the same classification as us, i know np is on here but they have a right to cause they know us but u have prolly never even posted on the Jacksonville team or anything, just shut up. To u Kurt if u didn't read it earlier I'm down for the weight lifting or practicing even if we do make the playoffs cause for the 07 season not matter what cause i wanna do good for my senior season no matter what it takes, i used to not like ur post but now the kinda motivate me to go out there and work that much harder. No disrespect to any of the NP players but coach Lyda when we stayed, were the kids from jville or Np i know someone will prolly say, Np is better than jville and that's y it don't matter but to me that just mean that we wanna work and do what it takes to win and get better. To me idk about everyone else but this isn't anywhere near smack talk to me, smack talk is talkin about ur mom or g/f or something this is just talkin amongst cross town rivals now. well that's all for now boys and girls

Post by: XFalkonz on January 13, 2006, 10:47:49 pm
Adam without a doubt the majority of the time it was a J-ville player that stayed after practice and practiced extra. That is why I told you and Tubbs and Payer and the others that stayed with me from J-ville that you have to be the ones to do it for J-ville. It is a fact that you guys were field/cage rats and that is a good thing....now turn the other guys on your team into that and you will go far. Now at our practices we have a whole group of guys that want extra and we are getting better every season. See what a little extra work does for ya? You guys that stayed after practice and took extra fungo and hit off tees and soft toss were doing so well in Legion ball. You guys got to play alot of games and won a bunch of games. That is what I want for you now. All I want to say is that first you work on the game on the field...then take it to the public. Oh yeah Adam...I cant talk about you G/f....I never knew you had one.....gotcha.

hey hey hey when u said something about my g/f now that was wrong cause u know we dont need to bring ur daughter into this mess........lol. See i just wanna prove my point to u kurt we do work year round right when Np gets done with the playoffs or w/e we start gwatney, when gwatney is over we start the off season program and last year when the season was over we got into the weight room with coach ski, so we were working year round. I heard u came into practice the other day also for like another 2 minutes were we workin hard or were we loafin around? will blake be at practice monday? o yea i will tell the boys that we need to put in some extra work if we plan on makin some noise on the field this year. well i guess im gonna go now.

I know there were about 10 of us in the off-season program everyday working our butts off for about 2 months.  And Tyler your my boy and I hope yall have a great season. Lyda we were feild/cage rats and I'm waiting on the pizza offer from you and do you think we could set up some kind of scrimage?  But for Jacksonville players we do need to be in the weightroom like Kurt said, because we could all get a little stronger.

J-ville I'm not "down on you" or trying to put you down.  But, I know and you know that you need to continue to work harder in order to be better ball players and a better team.  You guys that are Jr.s have the right idea and are starting to step up to be leaders, that is what it's going to take.  Keep up the good work and it will pay off.  I am confident if ALL of you come to the wr with me it will pay off greatly.  I don't think my work out is that hard but I've been doing it for years, you guys will hate me at first but I know what it takes.  Go get them Jax, just a little less talkin and allot more walkin.

Pardon the interruption Sr. but not all of us have the extended vocabulary classification level as you do,  but we will begin this trainer of vocabulary at sunny side up tomorrow and indeed we will improve our way of speech by 20 points. I will talk to you homosapians tomorrow.  And have a fantastic evening.

Sylvan Hills is always going to be good, Bryant always has talent, Fayetteville and Springdale could make some noise, NLR and Conway are always decent, Central might make some noise this year. J-boro has the talent. Benton might make some noise. Watson Chapel is a darkhorse. Just my opinion but that is the main ones I have seen and know about their teams.

Baker if you will stop talking out of your rear you will do much better in life. I wasnt even going to answer this post but you called me out so here is the answer. The parks and rec department started working on our field yesterday. They cut the sod around the infield and left a three in lip on it. They expected the dirt that they ordered to fill in the areas that they cut to be here this morning and it wasnt. The field is unsafe for play. I thought that they were over reacting until I went to the field and saw what they have done to it. IF you want a visual aid to my answer go down to Dupree and see for yourself. I am not happy about not getting to play, trust me I threw stuff and said some words that were unkind. But the fact of the matter is that we couldnt put the players (from both teams) in an unsafe situation. This was a practice game and not a game that counts. If you remember, I am the one that has tried to get the two teams to play at some point this year and it just hasnt happened. You can write all the crap you want about NP but it isnt true. WE wanted to play but it couldnt happen. Now continue writing the garbage that you normally write and drop this issue. At this point, I could give a dang about playing ya'll.....I just want to be able to start my season on a field that is ready to be played on and that might not happen for several days.

You can call us out all you want.  Nobody is scared of you and when it comes to baseball no one will ever be.  You can say what you want about anybody Else's team but drop this crap about our team, we haven't been and never will be scared of you or anybody else on your team.  If y'all wanted to play so bad today, then why didn't we play on your precious field?  Yes we know your talking because that is all you ever do, i just hate it that we didn't get to shut you up today.

FYI.............. it wasn't NP's fault the "benefit game" was cancelled, it was Jacksonville Parks and Rec.  Think back to all the years you have played baseball and how many times at Excell and Dupree Parks were the fields not ready when they should have been?   What you need to be focused on when it comes to the NP-Jax game issue is why did the game between two cross town rivals mysterily disappear from the schedule anyway?

 Man rick have u forgot that u a red devil. If u on this team u apart of a family. you already know bake is just talkin noise and thats just apart of the game. Idc if u friends with ne body ova there. that dont mean u just dis yo own teammate and not have his back dang. Im friends with a lot of people ova there two but when we finna play them i got beef with all of them until afta the game.its basically like u takin they side and they sittin here talkin bout yo squad.
And to u football0622 i really dont appreciate u puttin us out like that sayin aint nobody afraid of us when it comes to baseball. WE dont put yall out there and say stuff like aint nobody scared of yall when it come to basketball and football. I aint disrespectin you or nuthin cuz from wat i heard u can play and u one of they best players but all im sayin is u didnt have to put us out like that.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: football0622 on February 17, 2006, 11:45:50 pm
I dont mean to be rude to yall and ive already told adam that.  Its just when Baker says crap like that about us and trys to make it look like were doing things to keep from playing yall thats when i have a problem.  I have nothing against you or anyone else, its just a slap in the face when he says those things.  About the Basketball comment, come on now man you know yall got our coach and now yall are puttin up more W's than in the past.  But its cool thats good that yall are winning, i just want respect to come to the city of Jacksonville itself.  Whenever one of our teams win it gets the city recognition and thats all i want, but its all good hopefully we still have a chance of playing later on in the season.

But you also know I'm the best "people person" or w/e you wanna call it and Bake was flat out wrong. Not dissin you Cam,Bake, or Tyler...but sometimes you got to admit your mistakes.

I was just hacked and I didnt know what to think. So I threw everything out there. But now that we probably arent playing ya'll for a while its time for j-ville players to get our mind set on this Metro Tournament comin up this weekend. But im sorry if i hurt somebodys feelings.

Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on February 28, 2006, 02:54:57 pm
I'll give them a C+ from last night, I would love to jump on the bandwagon but Robinson and PV will be lucky to win 10 games between them. 


Positives: 
pitching:  very pleasant surprise.  Little Tomboli and Payer looked very good.  Hood throws hard but had trouble hitting the strike zone, he'll get allot better as the season goes on.
fielding:  was good, good plays, not too many dumb errors
speed:  OMG!! this team has speed, didn't think those guys would be that quick all around, I was wrong.  Need to use to advantage by putting the ball in play more, bunt, slap, what-ever just get guys on the bags

negatives:
hitting:  I know it was the 1st game and the timing will come around, but toooooo many called strikes and too many good pitches that ended up in the catchers mit with the hitters standing there with dumb looks on the face.  HIT THE FREAKIN ball, get runners on and score some more runs.  With the speed this team has if they can put it in play it should look like a track meet running the bases, do what ever you have to and put the pressure on the other teams D.   Too many little bloopy hits too, drive the darn ball, Hood, Baker, and Mattison all had really nice shots, Hood and Bakers got caught, but those will fall in eventually, but thats how to "drive" the ball. 
killer instinct:  when you have someone down, put them away.  Let Robinson back in it  to the point where it was too close.  When you have someone on the ropes, go for the kill and leave no doubt.   
Too many past balls:   Tubs, buddy, I know it's your first year, but work on moving to your right.  You have a TON of potential behind the bag, LOVE your arm, don't think it ever made it above the pitchers shoulder on the way to 2nd all night, teams will not be stealing on Jax like they have in the past.   If you can learn to block better, you have one heck of a career back there.   
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: HSUball2 on February 28, 2006, 09:39:47 pm
i agree on everything, but the strikeouts, the second game we didnt have but like 3 and the first game was a bunch of bs third strikes but i know that shouldnt be an excuse for anything, we will improve on that ASAP
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: WBF † on March 01, 2006, 09:03:26 am
I take full credit on 2 of those strikeouts in the 2nd game, and 1 in the first. Even tho in the first it was a bad call, I shouldn't  have got 2 strikes on me in the first place. They were throwin meat. In the 2nd game I just totally choked. Missed 2 squeezes, and 2 K's looking. I ran the crap out of myself at prac last night tho, and it wont happen again. My bad team.

don't know about the HR's, but nobody would cross home plate if I was playin catcher, it wouldn't matter if I had the ball or not     ;)

I sat and watched a "decent" Searcy team beat a Jax team that had a case of the nerves or was intimidated or something.  Don't hang your hat on that one game, it was the worst game Jax played thus far.  And don't confuse me as some "homer" that thinks everything is grand in Jax, I see what probs our players have in their game and I'm not afraid to offer a little "advice" every now and then.  You don't get better or learn anything if everyone tells you you are the greatest, I haven't seen anyone that doesn't have strengths and weaknesses.

0-4 now

split with JHS   1-5
sweep MH        3-5
sweep FC         5-5
split with SH     6-6
split with WM    7-7


you are going to have to play better than last night, you could have beat Cabot, but you could tell from the 1st game when Cabot went ahead Jax was done.  Too many "dumb" errors (everyone makes mistakes, but dropped fly balls, bad throws in the IF etc are not acceptable at this level)  way too many people not giving 100% ALL the time, inconsistent hitting, runs that should be bunted in, runners that should be advanced anyway possible, too many people trying to win the game with one hit, etc, etc, etc............. 
Jax, guys, you are a "small ball" team, get singles and take the extra base hits when they come, advance runners by slapping, bunting, suicide squeeze plays, stealing, etc.  Go with the averages, you don't have ANYONE that could be classified as a "power hitter" so take what you get and be happy.  When Cabot ran out of pitching, you guys had 1 out, and bases loaded down by 2 and didn't freakin score (note to team:  if I were your coach each and every one of you would have bunting practice till your hands bled, geez how freakin hard is it, catch the ball with the bat, duh)   Get it through your head that you can beat teams like Cabot, Searcy, JHS, and SH, you guys have almost lost the game before it begins, you can tell by how you act and re-act to certain situations.   You played pretty good against Beebe the other night, I realize the level of comp isn't up there with Cabot, but just the way you executed was allot higher too.  Come on, pull your heads out, I know you are tired of this crap, and I'm tired of seeing kids I know can play go out and look as bad as you did last night.

The amazing thing Kwest hasnt hit the long ball yet. Chris gross has 2, Daryl murphy (3rd) has 2, Collin fuller 1 and Sam bates soph (ss) has 1

kwest has been sick (flu) and injured (hurt shoulder) most of this year.  I watched him play all of last legion season with Gwatney (Jax) and he is the "real deal".  When he gets his timing back he should be hitting as expected.  Hopefully his timing won't come back until legion ball as he will be playing with Gwatney again this year.

Post by: powerlifter90 on March 28, 2006, 06:52:09 am
NO!...........................NO!......................may I emphasize   NO!   hitting............. worst display of hitting the ball I've ever seen.  Who-ever is your hitting coach needs to give back his pay check, heck you guys can't even bunt the d$mn ball.  Improper hand position, legs stiff, hands not relaxed, no follow through, I know most of you guys learned better technique in little league.   You can't tell me that when you get to this level each and every player on that team can't lay down a decent bunt.   You guys aren't aggressive by any means, and allot of you go to the plate with the "I hope I don't strike out" mind frame instead of the "I need to hit it here, or I'm going to get a hit".   Baseball is so mental, if you are not "thinking correctly" you have no chance of succeeding, you get behind and you guys know you don't hit well enough to catch up.   The coaches need to put you in a position to win a game too.  Leaving a pitcher in when he's obviously struggling or has pitched his limit is stupid.   Know your players well enough that you don't over extend them.  You have some very good pitchers, but none of them can go past 3 or 4 innings, most are good for two, that's coaching.  Jax's pitchers don't use their lower half enough, they throw all arm and shoulder, so they get tired easier.  OK, well don't try to make them throw a CG, see how they are doing after two, check the pitch count, and either pull them or keep them for one more, simple baseball.   Another thing is simple, dumb mistakes, outs that should be made, not getting done.  Base running boo-boos, etc, etc, etc.   The fundamentals are missing guys, get back to the basics.   
The season is not over, and the playoffs are still within reach, but you guys, the players, need to sit down, have a team meeting and decide what you want to do for the remainder of the year.  One last thing is I don't want to hear we are young, we only have one sr.  If you guys don't correct the things I've mentioned here, next year won't be any better.

Good games last night Cabot. Amazing thing to me it looked like we had as many or not more fans at West Memphis than they did. This team seems to have good chemisrty with our 3 seniors providing good leadership. Whatever is going on I like it. This makes Cabot 6-0 in conference with FC coming to town next week.  Didnt WM split with SH?

with that attitude you never will succeed................


Here we go again with the stories but................  Back when I played we didn't have hs ball, we only had legion.  During the regular season most of our players had to work on the farm/ranch and we never had everyone.  Come tourn time we usually had to "play in" (we had an odd number of teams in the conf and dist so the worse two would play to see who played #1)  to even make the tourney.  My soph, jr, and sr years we were below .500 and won conf and dist, my jr year we got 2nd in state.   I know you are 0-6 right now, but don't shovel me that BS that "we can't do it b/c we are already out of it and our conf is too tough".   You have played the top 3 teams in the conf and that is the reason you are 0-6.  If you would have played WM, FC, and MH chances are you would be 6-0.  If you have the attitude that you "can't" or "probably won't" you are right you have no chance.  If anyone on your team doesn't think you can still pull it off (whether you can or can't isn't the point you have to THINK you can) they need to turn their uniform in now and give someone else a chance to play.  All it takes is one or two players with a crappy (we're done, let's screw off the rest of the season) attitude to "F" it up for everyone else.  If you have a "defeated" attitude every time you get behind or get down in life you will be a loser forever.   Pull up your socks, put on your cleats, get freakin ps'd off and go kick some arsssss.

If the J-ville kids give up when faced with this kind of challenge then they are not the same kids that I coached this last summer. those kids that I coached went into several games knowing that they were underdogs and came out on top. I am calling out Tubbs, the Ussery brothers, Baker and all the others right here right now. If you want it all you have to do is work for it. Don t you dare quit or give up. You are too good of kids and athletes to give up now. You have a chance all you have to do is work for it and believe and execute.

Post by: WBF † on April 01, 2006, 01:25:14 pm
Eecuting is the hard part, and the part that we seem to fail at the most. In my opinion we need more live pitching in practice and less hitting off the tee. Our swings arent the best, but they're not terrible either...I'd put our swings ahead of our timing and plate discipline anyday. Us hitting more live pitching would help the latter two. If we keep our heads lookin forward and not back, play balls to the wall, and EXECUTE then we should do just fine...but its easier said than done my friends.

RT you need to fire all those doubters on your team up.  I know the minute you guys get down by one or two they will be saying "oh, woe is me, we are going to lose again"   Look 8-6/7-7 with a "chance" to make the po's is allot better than 0-14/1-13/2-12/3-11/4-10/5-9/or 6-8 with NO chance.  Another thing you underclassmen need to look at is, 5th or 6th in the conf, even if you don't make the po's gives you a better schedule next year.  I'm sure you don't want to play JHS, Cabot, Searcy, and SH the 1st four games next season do you?   Come on, every win helps.

This goes out to any player on Jax's team that is hanging his head, thinks the season is over, and doesn't think they CAN win the next 8.   Turn your freakin uniform in NOW!   You, and your attitude are bringing this team down, they don't need you or your crap in the dug out or on the field!   If you give up and quit on something like high school baseball you will quit on things the rest of your life, things that really matter too.

Hey dude I've been givin you "pep talks" the entire time.  I might not get on here and talk sheeeet like some people and I do give some well intended constructive criticism, but nobody can say that everything I have said hasn't been the truth.  IMO, everything that is wrong with the team has nothing to do with your physical abilities, you guys are losing games between your ears.  You've already played the 3 best teams in the conf, and played them close, no reason to give up now or any time.  If you don't make the po's, play for a better schedule next year.  Play for the sake of just winning another game, then play to win the series, etc, etc.

tolliver was good but not as i expected...i didnt get on base when he was pitchin but a name is nothing to me. It was our worst games of the year by far. My head was never down last night, I kept talkin and havin fun, the whole time. It didnt bother me much...im used to losing, but like tubbs said last night, thats a bad thing.
We can defintely win these next 6....we're playin the worst teams in the conference, and i dont want this schedule again next year....thats if i play. Im seriously thinkin about not playin next year,im just tired of baseball, and i dont know why. Im still up for those weights kurt.
We're not that bad of a team like the scoreboard always says...its kind of hard prove that by all the losses, but we all know that we have talent and the ability to win. It just hasnt came through yet!  I'm not giving up on us or the season by any means.

Little things are biting you guys in the butt too.  Things you learned how to do way back in the Excell park days.  Fielding, throwing to the correct place from the OF, cutoffs, turning DP's, who covers 1st on a DP when the 1st baseman starts the play, bunting properly, etc, etc, etc, etc.  But the biggest problem you guys have is the inability to hit.   You guys do have the talent to win, but there is a real lack of effort by some members of the "team" 
But, don't give up the season yet, just go out and have fun and win a few.

Another thing is the people who did not go off on vacation over spring break should have been practicing.

What really gets me is some of you guys say you just don't care anymore....Well if you don't care you seriously need to quit playing because they don't need those type of people on the team. So if you don't care, QUIT so some people that do care can play. Your mentality is killing you guys before you ever even step out on the field.

the kids that don't care, are quitters and losers now, and they will be for a long time with that mentality.  If you "quit" on something that is as easy as freakin high school baseball, you will give up on things later in life that REALLY matter.   Turn in the uni's NOW, McD's needs new bathroom at tendents

lol...I've said that a few times, not to lie. But now I feel that we need a good schedule next year, one that favors us. So I'm gonna work my butt off even harder now that next year depends on this year.
Little things have always bit a team in the butt, it just seems like those little things bite us more than other teams!
Record is like 5- 12 or somewhere around there.... 0-8 in conference.

Mills............. it was JV

BUT, for the amount of time I was there, the Jax team seemed more like a "team".  Having fun, playing good ball, etc.  what-ever you were doing today keep it up.  The "oh well we are going to get beat again" attitude seemed to be missing...........

bout 9 or 10 of the pages were before the season dick. We like to talk, and if you dont, get off our thread.

Yeah it felt like we were a team vs. mills. I did terrible at battin like always, but everyone else seemed to be seein the ball very well. Cam got a grand slam and Tubbs got a 2 or 3 run shot. And peolpe were sayin its only JV, the homeruns dont matter. It was a varsity pitcher who they hit it off of. And like Blake said, even tho they werent playin they're V squad, well we were and we finally got a win so it felt really good! It was a very fun game with a lot of hittin from JAX for once...can we keep it goin?
My challege is to win out, in and out of conference. Can we do it guys?

I leave the 19th for San Jose, I have a job with a DOD contractor out there.  I'll be back the middle of August and ANY of you guys that want to hit the weights you KNOW I'll help you out.  We can be in the field house while the football team is practicing.   Maybe some of my "tude" will rub off too.   Blake is "supposed" to be working out with AB this summer, he knows all the exercises and techniques (he has paid attention to me about some things), you guys can get with him or I'm just a phone call away.  Remember you can lift all you want, but if you don't consume enough calories it won't do you any good.

Good games tonight fellas. We really proved ourselves, even tho we didn't win both games. People really stepped up at key points tonight to produce a win in the 1st game. We played together as a team and that was one of, if not our best game all year. The second game we had too many screw-ups(me definetly included on that one). We tried to come back too late, and should've tried harder, earlier. Still, we all improved tonight, as a ballplayer and as a person. Them guys were playin dirty and talkin head the whole night, and we were better people and didn't say anything or do anything back. I'm Proud of all u guys. We don't have hardly any arms for tomorrow, but we better come ready to play. Just because it's non-conference, doesn't mean we shouldn't beat these dudes. Game time baby!

First game against Jnbo was a pitching duel. Justin Haas what maybe 5'7 130lbs against the giant. I think we had 7 hits and Jnbo 6. 2nd game Jnbo up 1-0 and we are batting in the bottom of the 5th. We load the bases and our #3 hitter Chris gross hits a grand slam and you can see the air taken out of them (jnbo)

Season was so-so...not as good as we expected, but we pulled a few good games out at the end. I had fun playin with you guys, and hangin out the whole season. HardER work and bettER practice before next year starts. Can't wait to see how things turn out for the long awaited 'senior year'! Good luck to all of yall playin Gwatney ball.

IDK bout yall but the MH coach hacked me off at the game...they knew they were gonna win so why not get the last out and let jake get up one more time for his last game ever? He got called out at his last(2 innings b4) at bat on a bull crap call-I just wish he could've had another chance to pull out a hit in HIS senior night. To me, that coach showed no class, the game was sealed up already, I just dont understand?-Someone correct me if I'm wrong here please. And what about Tubbs' called shot for Jake...Tubbs got a 2-run shot(after he told jake he was gonna hit one out for him, that was awesome!).
Good luck for everyone else still playin this year!

Yall did finish well but when you play in such a good conference you can't play half a season, And there is no way in heck that any of you guys should be satisfied with 6th or even 5th for that matter, even if the team has been down a couple years. Next year starts now. Don't sit and wait, It'll be here before you know it. Good luck next year, How bout we make the playoffs in Football, Basketball, and Baseball? Work on that hitting!

JS doesn't get allot of things..............

you guys, all of you, need to hit the weights as much as you can over the summer and before season starts.  And you need a good hitting instructor, your biggest problem as a team this year was at the plate
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: WBF † on May 03, 2006, 09:07:58 am
yeah I've been liftin weights a lot lately. Not sure if its the right ones, but I geuss every little bit helps out. Also, pushin them dumb carts at wal-mart isnt too bad of a work out either!

Now on the hitting....haha-if you ever been to a jacksonville game, then you know we need hitting. It might be the instrctor, might be the players, or both? Im not pointing any fingers, but I just hope we can do a lot better at the plate next year than this year. We hit .246 as a team I think...not too well for the high school level-especially if you want to compete in the 5A East. TIME WILL TELL.

Post by: HSUball2 on May 03, 2006, 09:13:20 am

Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on May 06, 2006, 03:03:37 pm
Get with Blake.  I gave him a really good program before I came out here.  If you have any questions ask him or call me, he actually does know what he's talkin about when it comes to lifting.   Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, avoid sugars and get LOTS of protein ie: chicken, turkey, tuna, peanut butter, protein shakes and bars.  If you are "sore" chances are you are doing it right, just don't over train.  Like I said get the program from Blake, and don't be scared to call me.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: XFalkonz on May 06, 2006, 03:55:34 pm
Lifting weights right now is a great idea but you better be running and swinging a bat as well while you lift. Hitting the weights is great but you have to maintain your range of movement while you gain the weight and the muscle mass. If you dont add the CV to it as well you will be stronger but your endurance will be lower and the fluid movement will be lacking as well. You might be able to physically hit the ball farther but physically unable to catch up to the pitch if you dont improve bat speed with it.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: HSUball2 on May 06, 2006, 03:58:11 pm

To: THE CLASS OF '07
Think about this next time you start to get side tracked or off the pace of things.......

This is it. This is your last chance to get better, this is your last year playing high school baseball - there are NO tomorrows after this. You have to give it everything you have, now, and every play of every game, because you are DONE after this. Do you want to be 40 and thinking about "geez, if I would have just worked harder, my senior could have been different?"As you're readin this, think about what you're gonna tell your kids when it comes time. You dont want to be the dad with no stories, no glory, and no RING. This is it men - our last time playing together, our last time in this fieldhouse, our last time on that diamond. Lets make this season one to remember, forever.
This is the last time you have to work out. You'll be lookin forward to the season. Do not half-rear it-you CAN'T get these moments back, once they're past, it's too late. This is the time that will determine how well the '06 baseball season goes. Ask anyone about how they felt when it was over, and they will tell you it feels very "empty". Go into workouts, practice, and games with the attitude that "I'm going to leave everything on the field". Think about when it's game time, this is going to be the last time you play Cabot, NP, MH, SEARCY, SH, JB, WM, FC, etc. And not to mention the last time you play as a RED DEVIL. There are NO tomorrows.......... SO FREAKIN GET DONE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO WIN!
The thing is though, is that NO ONE expects Jacksonville to win this year. This is our time to shine, our time to win, and our time to prove them wrong. Lets give our last season our best effort. With that formula, we will win us OUR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.



And in the midst of our last season, with State Championship rings in hand, dont forget to give all the glory to GOD.

I'm trying to say: that if Chance played he'd be an asset since we don't have a returning SS.  As a coach you build strong up the middle, and having someone that can play SS would help out ALLOT.  We already have an all conf CF and C returning, our 2B is back, we need a good SS.............. along with a team BA over 325. 
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: XFalkonz on November 20, 2006, 12:32:02 pm
Your batting average can be at .325 and you can win alot of games. It isnt the BA that determines how high school baseball is won or lost rather the OBP (on-base percentage). I had a great local legend coach tell me one time "Ya can't score'em if they ain't on the bags." We produce alot of runs in our game because we are moving and getting kids on the bags. Two years ago we hit a team average of .335 but our OBP was .610. Last year we hit .300 but our OBP was .425 and we didn't go to the playoffs.

Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on November 20, 2006, 02:29:30 pm
errors or not, he would not have been playing there if someone else was better.  I guess that should be the real question, is there someone on Jax's team this year that is better at SS than Jake was?  I mean he did make all-conf, that's saying something right there, and he did start, so unless the coaches were playing favorites, there must not have been anyone else.

i will admit there was no one better......or no one was tried at playing there. o yea im not sayin he should have rode the pine.....im just sayin we have alot of choices for this year so if someone doesnt do the job good we have other people...where as last year we didnt. i dont even think fielding has much to do with all conference, but thats just me

you don't have to worry about getting downed on here, you guys down each other enough on the field and in the dugout.  You can tell by your body language as soon as you get behind that the game is over.   People try to get the "team" pumped up and they are told to sit down and shut up, by other players.  You guys lose a game and comments like "we lost but I hit better than you" or "you struck out XX times, but I only struck out X times" are common place.  When you guys pull together and play like a team instead of glory wanting individuals you might have a decent year.  Remember, 10 years from now NOBODY will know or care what your BA (or any other individual stat) was, the team record and how they finished is the ONLY thing that matters.   And anyone hoping to play at the next level, scouts don't seem to find kids on losing teams as easy as they find them when they are playing for winners.

Can I make a suggestion? If you guys will play with the attitude that you have in the summer when you were playing for me and Coach Hick you will go much farther. You didnt give a darn who was hitting for a higher BA or who hit the HR's or who did what. All you guys cared about when you played for me was getting on the field and winning. We played some of the best baseball I have ever seen from any of ya'll during the summers and you had a blast doing it. Forget the individual achievements and think of the team. When you guys were with Andy and myself you were a team. Get it together and you will do well. You have the talent all you have to do is get the attitude right.

u guys r right. andy motivated me like no other. u and were the best coaches ive ever had, for real. but its like in high school u have alot of added pressure because stats matter soo much. if u arent performing us stats are gonna show it. then u will get ur spot taken, where as in gwatney u really dont keep stats. they just go by ur playing ablility. thats y gwatney is funner.

I would think there is more pressure playing for Gwatney than there is playing hs ball, because there is more talent.  When you add the NP, Cabot, and other kids there are better players in the mix than just playing for those individual schools.  I think the team work, the leadership, and the competition is better when you add those kids.  If someone made some of the comments to those kids that I was referring to in the earlier post, that person would probably get their butt kicked, some of Jax's players have a bad attitude that brings the entire team down.  Whether its "me-me-me" or its "oh crap we're going to get beat again" it doesn't matter, just one or two people can screw up team chemistry for everyone else.  There is NOBODY playing for Jax that is good enough to have a crappy attitude, there are no superstars, but yet it seems that a couple people are more interested in competing with their team mates, than the other team.  What's worse yet is that the people I'm talking about are the ones that are a step or two from not even playing, they are the ones barely hanging onto their job.  It's not the one, two, or three really good players that are the problem, its the ones that don't want to play "team" ball bc they are jealous of other people.  I don't care if you are the best player on the team or one of the ones that just run bases, accept you job and do it to the best of your abilities.  Don't talk crap among yourselves, don't be jealous bc God didn't give you the gifts that he gave someone else, winning is what you are there for, not self promotion.  If you are not there to win the game above everything else, why are you playing?  This isn't LL any more, Daddy isn't coaching and putting  his little boy in the spot light even though he doesn't deserve it.  This isn't LL, everyone doesn't get a trophy no-matter where they finish, there should be one common goal and that is the team's success.  When ALL of Jax's players start thinking of "the team" first and everything else second things will get better, until then they will keep fighting FC for the 8th spot.

goals you set for yourself are good, but its the goals you set for the team that really matter.  NOBODY cares if YOU bat 300 or 400 if the team sucks.  It is the T E A M that matters, nothing else.  You can't tell me that you would rather have the team finish 6th, 7th, or 8th in conf and you bat 400.  It is a team sport and that is what's really important.

Blake and Tubbs were the ONLY players trying to fire you guys up.  Tubbs was busting his butt behind the plate (a position he never played before) and Blake was running down everything in the outfield.  And they still led in all the offensive categories, which both would have traded to play for a winning team, with "winners" as team mates. 
I heard (with my own ears) Blake trying to get people motivated and not give up, and he was told to sit down and shut up by other players who should have been doing the same. 

One thing you have to remember is that the better the team does the more all conf slots they get.  If you want to make all conf you better hope Jax does better than they have in the past.  Bc a 7th place team only gets 3 players on the all conf team.   The two that made it last year will surely make it this year, so that leaves one more, that would probably go to Cameron.   Let's win some games, finish better in the conf,  and get more all conf players, if that's all that matters

Ricky has ALWAYS been like that even in LL, that's why all the coaches always wanted him on the team, and most of the time he was 1st pick in the draft.  He wasn't always the best player, but he played the hardest, and often that rubbed off on other players.   

The reason I brought up the all conf players was bc you insinuated that everyone was playing for themselves especially those three players.  I know there are other "motivators" on the team, but there needs to be more positive attitudes instead of the negative ones that are there now, no-matter what the record is.

I don't think that any one of those three played for themselves.  I also think that they deserved the post season recognition they got.   Jake was a Sr, Blake and Tubbs have been starting since they were Fr.  I can't speak for them but I'm sure they would have traded that patch on their jackets for a ring or at least a spot in the po's.  Winning is what its all about, all-conf/all-state is just extra icing on the cake.

I go in with both of yall on both sides of the fussing... I'd love to have BOTH, the patch and the spot (OR RING). But thats just me...?

I appreciate the props and all...made my day for real. Thats just my morals and how I play tho. I can count numerous times by more than a few players (twice by a coach), that I've been told to "sit down, and shut up." Cause everyone and there mom knows that I talk all game long. But when you got guys throwing helmets, saying words I've never heard of, and yelling at everyone else...why would you even want to play harder or for the team?....one reason, for yourself. IF the team is running everyone in the ground, then its almost impossible to keep playing "TEAM BALL".IMO.

I think all 3 of them shouldve made all conference...and I can name 4 right now that should make it this year...at least.

I don't want you to be jealous of anybody, just trying to figure out where you are coming from.  And I'm not trying to throw you under the buss either.  But you are coming off like you'd rather make all conf and don't care about the success of the team.  I didn't say you were like that, but you are being perceived that way.  IMO if a player doesn't make all conf he should be happy for those that do, and work harder on his weak points so he may be able to accomplish that himself one day.  BUT, making all conf should NOT be the goal of any player team success should be.  If I were a player for Jax I know what my goals would be both for myself and the team.  Last year y'all started 0-6 in conf bc you played the 3 top teams first.   Good team leaders and good coaching could have salvaged the season, bc you could have beat EVERYONE else besides SHS, JHS and SHHS, yes even Cabot.  You can NOT give up, never give up, not just in baseball but in any and everything you are faced with.  I know its just a game, and games are played for "fun", but you can learn allot about life on the playing field.  I know that sounds cliche but its true and don't think for one minute that I'm just some old fart that doesn't know what its like.  I can still remember my hs days and what it was like to play football, baseball, and basketball.  I didn't get along with all my team mates off the field, but on the field we sucked it up and put that bs behind us.  If you guys can get your heads out of (where-ever they happen to be) and play ball like you should, forget about everything other than what is good for the T E A M, you can win some games.  It's up to you and each and every one of the players on that team whether you want to be a perennial "cellar dweller" or make the playoffs.   Twenty years from now nobody will remember who made all-whatever and who didn't, but you will remember if YOUR team sucked or was a winner your Sr year.

there is no substitute for hard work, you don't get anywhere without it.

you guys are going to have to have a "coming to Jesus" meeting and get some "team chemistry" flowing or you won't be playing in May.  You can win as a T E A M, or lose as individuals, simple as that.

If Cam is going to pitch he should be in RF, in most games CF and LF get way more work.   But that's just my opinion and what do I know.  Another thing you need to look at is switching outfielders around "just cause" is like switching infielders.  If you aren't used to playing CF, LF, or RF you won't be as effective as the guy that has played there.  The ball comes off the bat differently at every position, if you don't know the angles you will get burned.
It was pretty funny watching a bunch of baseball players hop around like slow bunny rabbits.  Remember fellas if you want to get faster, you have to do the movement FAST (I can explain in person if necessary).  Also your calves are only about 7% of your total leg strength, its good to work them, but if that's all your doing might as well beat your head against a wall.

fellas this is HIGH SCHOOL ball, there should be NO specialists.  I'm tellin ya, again you shouldn't be worried about who's playin where, or who's going to make all conf, or any of this other stuff.  Coach Burrows will play the people where he thinks they are needed, case close, and all the politicking in the world won't change that (well it might if some parents go whining to him, but I doubt that would do anything either).  You guys should be thinking about finishing higher than 7th in the conf, and have a team batting ave over .200     I have NEVER heard so much complaining and complaining in my life, if its this bad on FF I wonder what its like on the practice field, in the locker room, or at the Friday evening poker game.   You know you guys sure talk allot of crap for a team that has basically "stunk it up" over the past few years.  Why don't you put this much effort into improving your game?  And before any body starts to get their whittle panties in a bunch and thinks I'm picking on, or singling them out, I'm not.  I'm talking to each and every one of the Jax baseball players, that seem to get joy out of causing problems on the team.  You guys need to get it through your heads that the team comes first, and nobody is bigger than the that.   If my statements don't apply to you, then don't worry about it.

when mommies and daddies can go "talk" to the coach then all of a sudden "little Johnny" is playing where they want, something is messed up.  like I said this isn't LL ball anymore, players are not on the team bc their Dad (or Mom) is the coach.   Kids aren't getting playing time bc Dad is the coach, and kids aren't being selected for all-stars bc Dad is the coach. 
And players shouldn't be getting playing time, playing certain positions, or not playing other positions bc their parents have "threatened" to take "little johnny" and go play elsewhere.  IMO if that happens coach should shake said parents hand and wish little johnny the best at his new school

u must not know coach burrows very well kurt cause he knows that parents are just bsing tryin to get their lil on to play.....that doesnt influence his decision at all. matter of a fact most parents like mine have never spoken a word to coach burrows in their life. and fyi there isnt any drama in the locker room or at practice or anything.....just because everyone has their opinions on who should play where and what kind of cleat we want doesnt me we are selfish, start drama, cause problems, or anything like that.

We hardly ever argue at baseball practice. I think we have good team chemistry, most of us hang out on weekends, and most all go to church together, i think we get along just fine.  Of course we have disagreements but who doesnt?  We are always pushing each other at practice and trying to make this year the best we can of it. So i dont get where yall are getting this that we ALWAYS argue and we dont get along.  I dont see a problem

Yeah ive had a slight arguement with cam at practice but it was all cool with both of us... We had our words about the outfield drills but in the same night we were playing basketball together. Besides that, I dont think anyone has had an "arguement" all year. Even though its only week 1.

The jump soles work...no matter what anyone says. Yes, I know that about 90% of leg strength/speed comes from above the knee, but ALL of our times went down. Harmon and JP dropped half a second in the 60 from last year.  Adam went from a 7.3 or 4 to under a 7. I went from a 7.48 to a 7.02 in off-season alone.(6 weeks) And Yes, I KNOW AND WANT to add more to the running routine, including bleachers, band work, De La Salle stuff, etc....but its not like the jumpsoles are useless.IMO.

and I called it selfish Cam cuz you're about the only one who can gun a speedster from RF at 3rd. You're the only one fully capable of playin RF. I agree 100% with the switchin positions thing cuz I played RF against Cabot last year for 2 innings and I couldnt get a jump on anything(used to LF). I'm not saying that Cam can't play center...cuz Cam can play bout anywhere on the field, and do it well.

jump soles work, but how much they work is the big question.  naturally someone that had allot to gain is going to get better results from them, where someone that was pretty fast to begin with won't.  Jump soles by them selves are not going to produce the same results that they would with a good lifting/conditioning program.  Nothing by itself will work as good as it will when combined with something else, that would be like me going in and trying to make my bench better by JUST benching.   Jump soles shorten your Achilles tendon and strengthen you calves, but what about the rest of your leg muscles, what are you doing to improve strength in those areas?   The posterior chain of muscles (lower back, glutes, hamstings and calves) are where you get your "push" from, you explosion from a stopped position to a moving one.  To get quicker/faster/more explosive you MUST train all those muscles or you are just 1/2 arssing it.  Another thing, check your 60 times 4 or 5 weeks from now, they won't be the same as they are now.  Once you quit using something (jump soles, weights, etc) your body will go back to where it was before you used it, any gains/results you achieved are not permanent, if you do any strength and conditioning program, then quit, you are only going to retain so much of what you accomplished (ie: say I squat 600 lbs now, if I quit lifting I'm not going to squat 600 forever).  If I remember correctly you are only suppose to use JS every so often, then quit for an extended period of time.  JS want you to do this so every time you use them you see these decent gains and think they are the best thing ever.  You could use JS just like anything else in your training regiment, just as often too, but you won't see the big gains.  In anything, you are going to progress at first very quickly, once your body nears it's limits you are going to start making gains slower and slower, then you have to find new ways of working those areas.  The company that makes JS doesn't want you using them all the time bc people get impatient and often quit when they don't see progress, they want you using them every now and then, making these huge gains, and that's what sells the product. 
Now, if you take JS, combine them with a good lifting and conditioning program, you will not only make great gains, better 60 times, etc, but the results will stay with you.   The weightlifting/conditioning program I follow is called "Conjugate", its what allot of the De La Salle kids use, the Oakland A's, 49ers, and Cal-Berkley just to name a few.  It focuses on speed/strength and power, two aspects EVERY athlete needs, no-matter what, it is NOT a powerlifting only program.  If you would like to know more about conjugate go to www.westside-barbell.com, click on articles, then on the left hand side look under "2004".  It has an article entitled "Conjugate" and another one called "More on Conjugate".  Remember anything you do will get results, there are just ways that you can increase those results or make the results even better.  Once you quit any type of fitness program you muscles begin to atrophy, and you start losing the gains you've made starting within 48 hours.  If you guys want to keep what you have achieved you need to work out through the season, nothing heavy, but just enough to keep you going.  I gave the KSU on and off season workouts to your coach, do that or conjugate on your "off" days and I guarantee a better season.

The coaches then were Lindley and Burrows.

The talent level was just much, much different. That 98 team should've won it all. They got upset in the second round of the tournament by FS Southside  because they chose to throw their No. 3 or 4 pitcher instead of No. 2... it cost them... if they would've won that game they would've won it all... it was a very good team.

Things haven't been the same since. It's a shame because Burrows is a helluva coach.

Jax, in the past, has played pretty good good D, pitching is above average, with hitting below average.  This years team returns all but one starter from last year.  Hopefully the extra year will give them the needed mental and physical maturity to be the team they have the potential to be. 
IF..........................IF Jax can overcome their hitting woes they will be a VERY solid squat in 07.  They have 3 or 4 players with the talent to play at the next level, with very solid players around those kids.  They should do very well vs the NWA teams they play this season.  Looking forward to the trip up North.

team speed is a GREAT asset............... but for speed to be utilized, you have to get on base to begin with.

that is VERY true. 
But from what I saw last year and the year before, hits to the left side and getting thrown out at first weren't the issue.  Anytime you "drive" the ball you have much better success getting on base.  What killed you guys were (in order): strike outs, little "blooper" hits that were easily caught, and little weak ground balls that any LL could stop.  If you hit the ball, hard, with authority, drive it somewhere you have a much better chance of getting on base.  Make the other team make mistakes, put runners on the bases, score runs, take all the pressure off your D and pitcher and put it on the other team.   That's how you win games

your BIGGEST "issue" at the plate is right between your ears.  Get some confidence, don't expect to fail but expect to succeed.  It will make a HUGE difference............ trust me

allot of what Fastdrop says contains allot of sarcasm.  But, allot of the same problems plaguing the WM are present in Da-ville......

as far as you guys are concerned look at the baseball team from this perspective.   In anything you do, in order to become better at it you shouldn't concentrate on your strengths, you should be humble, look for your weaknesses and look to improve in that area(s).  IMO after watching the Jax baseball team over the years and seeing most of you guys grow up, you need to be working overtime to improve your hitting.  EVERYONE could use some extra work, that will pay off at the plate.

Cabot returns 7 starters from last year and one of the starters is Sam Bates and he plays basketball. I know he will be elgible to play tonight but doubt if caoach Fitch will start him right away. I guess you can say we will be playing tonight with 6 that started last year. Jax will be our 3rd game of the year. We lost to Searcy 5-1 (it was 2-1 in the bottom of the 6th) and we beat NP 18-1 last night after 3 innings. Hey Bugeater I will see you at the game tonight.

Jax report card

pitching   A-
infield      B
outfield    D
hitting     D


young pitchers looked decent 1st game out, walked a few early, but settled down late.  substitutions need to be made earlier especially at this stage of the season.  too many errors to win any game, infield errors cost you one base, but outfield errors usually cost two or three bases.  hitting........ ummm, well still needs ALLOT of work.  I don't understand why you guys don't bunt your questionable hitters allot more.  don't get down, I thought you looked better than expected and Cabot looked worse.

I agree we didnt look good at all. Errors made by ones that usaually are money in the bank. Our sticks didnt show up at all. We had more hits against searcy and that was against some of their top pitchers. I think we are seeing to much I instead of team. We lost against Searcy the same way Jax lost against us. We had 5 hits against Searcy 4. But 4 costly errors to Searcy's one is what cost us.

I was really surprised by Jax's pitching vs Cabot's hitting.  I would rate Cabot about the same as Jax, C on fielding D on hitting pitching looked decent.  It could be a LONG season for both

Did we see any of jax top pitchers? The kid we threw is a move in from San Antionio texas. I would say and just my guess he is probaly #4 or 5 in the roatation. Our top two is Fuller and Haas with Sam Bates and Clarkson behind them. The last kid we pitched last night is a soph. Our hitting killed us against Jax. I will say from the many dad's that were there. They all commentd on how much better jax looked from last yer.

I really don't know the Jax rotation, but I think Hood (36) is #1, he looked VERY good vs Hall Thursday night.  The kid that started is a soph along with the kid that came in second (he's a transfer from LR Central).   IF..... Jax can hit with any consistency this year they have a chance to be very good.

This must be Ricky. If it is you just got to lear that a ball down the left field line from a lefty is more than likely goin to slice. you just read it wrong thats all.
So you guys really did throw yalls #1 & #2 against us. i agree we didnt bring our sticks at all. a couple of our guys looked like they were tryin to hit like a two strike count when they really had a real good advantage count. our fielding wasnt that good either besides that play 3rd made to save a run and the 2nd baseman made with the diving catch... other than that our defense didnt look like us out there. hope you guys do good this year in the 6A...

keep your head up Rick it will come, just quite "pushing" so hard, relax and have fun


I'm betting the "rotation" changes before conf starts.  Not that I think anyone is necessarily better than anyone else, but experience plays a huge part in my opinion.  One thing I did see, and really hope it changes is I think the pitchers need to come out sooner when they are struggling.  This is just the first few games and I understand that coaches want to get innings under the belt.  But, once the "real" games start need to get the hook out quicker.   Jax has some depth at pitcher this year, no need to leave someone in when they are having a bad day

nothing against your bro, but at Jax just bc you pitch the most innings doesn't count for very much.  How many of those innings was he dead tired mentally and physically, struggling to get the ball over the plate, and he was still in?

3-2. Beat Mills 7-3, Hall 20-3, Beebe 11-3. Lost 6-5 Cabot and 3-1 to Malvern. Seems to me if we let 'em get 3 runs, we'll win, LOL.

We play Cabot again Monday at 6 at our place. Coach said they'll be pitching their leftie named Haas. I talked to one of the players last night and they said Haas aint pitching. IDK if hes lying or what, but were ready for anything. We're tired of the disrespect we get from everyone, especially from the "rednecks" from Cabot.
Everyone thinks were gonna lay down this year....WRONG.

Last night we might've walked 2 ppl the whole game. We had one error in the field(if you wanna call it one), and it was me. We also HIT the ball pretty decent last night as well. Our real test will be March 13, Marion.

Jax's pitching is ALLOT better than I expected it to be.  With Tommy moving in it really shored up the rotation.  Fenton was on last night, if he can pitch like that consistently he will cause some problems come conf time.  Seth looks good, but he needs to relax and follow through, he starts thinking too much and his release point changes. 

Defensively things are shaping up.  Regnas looks real good at 1B as do the rest of the infielders.  SS needs to "slow down" just a little and make good throws (its better to make a good throw late, than a bad throw early), but I can tell he's been working his butt off, he's really improved ALLOT. 
VS Beebe, I think there were 3 or 4 errors, all on throws (the LFer getting turned around and missing the ball at the fence is not what I would classify as an error)

Outfield looks pretty good, lots of speed.  An outfielders BEST asset is getting a good jump on any ball hit in the area.  NOTHING should hit the ground for the Jax OF with the speed you guys have, you just have to practice getting on the ball as it comes off the bat.  I've seen too many people standing until the ball is already on them, then its too late.  Concentrate on the pitcher, watch the ball leave his hand, watch the ball off the bat. 

Still have to work on the hitting a little more.  Don't compare how you guys do vs 4A competition, look how you do vs Cabot.  You play in the toughest conference in the state, Searcy and Jonesboro are NO joke, SH is good, but this could be the year Jax knocks them off. 
Stay awake on the bases and know the situation you are in at all times.  There were times vs Beebe that runners should have been going, don't know if they were sleeping, missed signals, etc. but when you are a "small ball" team you have to take advantage of every situation.

Overall, Jax has improved ALLOT, any one that takes them lightly will get beat, simple as that.  Use the "road trip" to NWA to improve your game, don't lose focus, come back ready and hungry to win the conf or at least finish in the top 2 or 3.

Long toss helps a lot too A. Thats how both Tommy and Steven Tye got their arms, ask either one.

Our baserunning is one of our areas that needs the most work, but to me it should be the easiest, most fundamental thing there is. I know of a few ppl that missed signs last night, all equaling up to about 4-5 errors on the basebaths all together.

Fenton was on point last night, hitting every spot imaginable. To be honest, I thought he was going to get rocked...good job 3-8. I think if my bro would not try to throw so hard and just hit spots like fenton, then the speed thing would come natural later on in the season.

I expect us to finish no less than 5th in conference. Preferably, #1!

Some of Fenton's stuff was just plain Nasty.  His curve would be coming at someones head then just drop off the table and break, that's why they got so many slow rollers.  ST looks like he's trying to throw 95 on every pitch, he needs to relax and follow through. 


Long toss, setting your feet, and using good "basic" fundamentals are the best ways to improve your throws.  BUT, it's better to be late on a throw and have it where it is suppose to be, than have a terrible throw be there early.


Hass and Fuller are Cabot's 1 and 2, if you don't see either on the mound, that should tell you something.   Cabotpantherman and I have allot in common.  Both of us want to see our teams win and see everyone do well, and both of our sons play CF

Post by: cabotpantherman on March 05, 2007, 09:49:33 pm
To the jax players, keep your heads up because i personally believe you guys will finish in the top half of the 6a east. Sometimes the sticks shows up sometimes they dont. You'll hit the ball but most of the time it was to someone. BM  had a good hit to start the inning. But when you guys didnt score with runners on 2nd and 3rd it seemed to take the wind out.

yea that hurt but we have to hit with consistency or have one big inning to get us goin..........i thought cabot had more class though, when i was walkin through the line at the end of the game....someone and i think it was #2 said nice strikeout. but hey its cabot i shouldve expected it

Post by: cabotpantherman on March 05, 2007, 10:22:56 pm
I would like for him to bat first to. They had him first last year and started with a slump then moved him to 9th where he batted 350 with 2hr with one of them beating springdale in the playoffs. To kid9 he said when he hit the double you said first hit and I guess he thought you were teasing him. Who know's and it really doesnt matter. I just know I have seen you play at Jax for many years especially during youth allstar time. Good player and hope the best for you guys..

Post by: powerlifter90 on March 17, 2007, 10:14:45 am
Pitching looks real good, but you not going to shut anyone out.  What killed you vs Marion was throwing the fastball with an "0-2" count.  Even the opposing coaches in the stands were scratching their heads when that happened. 

Fielding needs to get better, to many mistakes that a decent LL team wouldn't make.  Short throws, booted grounders, high throws home, throwing to 3rd from the OF when there is a runner on 1st, etc, etc, etc. 

Hitting............ well, "batting" looks T E R R I B L E.........  go back to the basics guys, bend your knees, relax, keep your hands up, follow through.  If you have to bunt to get someone on, then suicide squeeze them home, do it, better than leaving runners stranded in scoring position.  Too many "weak" grounders and infield pop ups, you can get people on base, but if nobody steps up and drives them home it really doesn't matter.

I don't know what is going on behind the scenes for the Red Devil baseball squad but you guys do more to beat yourselves than the other team does.   It's gut check time RIGHT F-ING NOW!!!   you guys get down by a run or two and most of the heads drop, the whining starts, and you are done no-matter if its the 2nd inning or the 7th.  You guys got some breaks vs Greenbrier, came back and won the game.  You can't count on lucky breaks you have to make your own breaks and create your own luck, hitting the ball "hard" is the first place to start. 


One good thing that really stood out to me:  RT-you looked VERY good at the plate vs Marion, keep up the great work, I always knew you could do it..............
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: WBF † on March 17, 2007, 10:37:27 pm
Coach told us practically the same thing...we have NO guts. We dont have guts as a TEAM---> there might be a few individuals who might, and a few who say they do, but nope, not as a team. Just like you said...Go back to the basics, relax, and have FUN! Quit over-thinkin, over-analyzing, and just freekin play!! Too many guys going for the "big shot", and not even getting solid contact anymore...thats gotta stop or BA(s) will suck. Which = losing = 7th place.

Im personally tired of 7th. I'm stepping up. Anyone following?

you guys showed some "guts" vs MH, and it doesn't hurt to have a little luck.  I've been telling you that if you hit the ball, the other team makes mistakes and things happen .............. well last night was proof.   Down 8-1 in the bottom of the 7th and come back to win 9-8, that shows me (and should prove to you) that you guys can get it done.  Just don't get down on yourselves and quit when you get behind.   Baseball is a funny game, anything can happen, at any time.  The same thing(s) can happen vs anyone else in the conf, JUST DON'T GIVE UP on yourselves.

Last night was FUN. I havent that much FUN in a long time. That rejuvinated me...as well as everyone else I think. Our bats were pretty hot the first game, 2nd game, not so much. We havent had a game like that all year (12 K's). You just cant walk 27 people and have 7 erros and win two ball games. I think last night was more of a blessing than anything else.

Our pitching HAS TO FREEKIN STEP UP!

We just had nothing to lose...and had fun with it.

you guys NEED to go out and have "fun" more often, this is JUST high school baseball and its suppose to be fun.

pitching has looked good all season last night it looked like sheet.  everyone has bad nights so just forget about it and press on.  The East looks to have some balance, hopefully everyone remembers not to quit when you get behind....

Searcy split with WM and SHHS
JHS split with Marion
WM split with FC
Jax split with MH

it doesn't look like this season is as "cut and dry" as previously thought to be....

In other changes, Rule 1-3-6 was revised to eliminate the confusion this past season with the legality of two-toned gloves. The modification bans any white or gray colors on the glove or mitt worn by the pitchers. This rule was revised due to the popularity of two-toned gloves, which typically have not been distracting.

JB pitcher had it on...told yall I didnt like it, LOL!

The season is over, not what anyone hoped for, but it's too late to worry about that now.  I have some very fond memories of the season and I would like others to list there's too.  Some of mine are:

Cam gunning down Marion runner trying to go to 3rd. 
Tubbs hitting a MONSTER shot vs WM
Blake climbing the fence in LC vs FC to rob a base hit
Cam hitting the ball so hard vs WM it sticks in the LF fence (I have NEVER seen something like that)
NOBODY on SH being able to hit Tommy's fastball, but coach calling for the curve that keeps getting smashed
"           "   FC      "                                      "                                   "                         "
Blake "sneaking" home to win vs Greenbrier
Ted's 1st career HR vs Greenland
TB's barehanded grab at SS vs FC and making the throw to get the out

tommy was our best pitcher?
terrell was our best infielder?

Tommy's shoulder has bothered him most of the season, when it didn't hurt he was the best Jax had.

Tubbs played catcher, so he really can't be classified as an "infielder". 


I'm still going with Brown.  He's more "hotdog" than I like to see, but as far as glove, arm, etc. I'd pick him, if I had to pick.

BUT, it's hard to for me to give "kudos" to anyone........... yes anyone that played for Jax after y'all finished 8th with enough talent to finish in the top 4 or 5.  Baseball is a T E A M sport and when the team finishes in last it's really difficult to pick a best this or best that,  MVP, etc, etc, etc.  When you finish last and show some of the character, heart, and guts issues that plagued you all season it's hard for an old fart like me to really find anything to cheer about.

Post by: powerlifter90 on May 12, 2007, 08:29:06 am
OK, everyone, listen.  Don't take anything I say "personally", if I say you were/weren't the best at what-ever that is just my opinion.  I told y'all way back in Sept that if you didn't want to finish last you would have to hit the ball.  Well with 4 people batting over .300 at the end of the season that just about says it all.  Another issue is the blame game, the jealousy and all that BS.  You can't win as a team if you don't play as one, and Jax NEVER learned that.  Too many people worried about who did this or who will make that or who is getting recruited by who or why not me, etc, etc, etc.  The people I'm mainly looking at are the SR's, you guys are done, you finished freakin 8th in the conf, enough said, if you take the same attitudes you had during HS into the future I see allot of butt kickings.  People in the "real world" don't play, when it comes to all that childish BS, you better wake up or you'll have a very rude awakening.

Does anyone else that reads this find it ironic as heck that there is a 30 page thread about the last place team and you don't see anything from the "winners" that played in this conf.

Is it all about BA?

Exactly A.

I wasnt sayin you didnt care Blake. You know as well as everyone else, including your dad, that you down everyone. Thats what I meant. Maybe you dont think it's "demoralizing", but it is to me. You dont even talk about me(that I know of), and it gets me down. Hope that changes in Gwatney.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: WBF † on May 12, 2007, 10:30:33 am
And how exactly do you care more? You dont stay late for any practice. I dont see you EVER seeing anything nice to anyone. Pretty sure you've never helped anyone out with things they've messed up doing. I just dont see how you KNOW that you care more than anyone else. ACTIONS are way louder than WORDS.

Post by: GoldenLion30 on May 12, 2007, 10:51:17 am
Who besides Peewee, did I go up to and say you suck. I only did that because that is how you are going to make him better. He competed with me like a brother and that was just me and him.
There is a difference betwen going up to you Ricky and saying you need to step and downing you. I tryed to motivate you cry babies and everytime I did no one listened, no one respected me. So what in the world ever I don't care it is over get over the fact we sucked and get ready for Gwatney. Because if we don't get more heart and want too then it is going to be worse than our high school season. Drop the BS and get over it.

I have not talked about anyone i don't care about you guys.
All I have said is that you should be at 2nd and TB at Short because you are more comfortable there and he is the more natural SS.

And lets not get started, which one of you jealous little kids said I patted my stats. Yeah that was BS too. But I don't care you can say whatever you want about me. But thanks for being good friends and good teammates. NOT

yea ur a great teammate too blake.  :P
everyone says it was me who started that but i know u cant pad a BA cause coach b goes back in the book after every game and looks at that. idk about the steals. doubles, or w/e.

naw, i heard that whenever me and terrell turned a double play at gwatney practice, u said maybe if they wouldve done that in high school we might have won more games.


You call us cry babies but yet u tried to fight a teammate because he was talkin about ur g/f!!!!!

LOL exactly Lyda. You're my fav by far.

One more comment and I'm out on this subject...Blake you said up top that "Who besides Peewee, did I GO UP TO and say you suck." Thats my point, you didnt say it to anyone, you said it out in the field where only I and Cam could hear you. But I know all of this comes from your heart and how much you wanna win. I realized senior night that you really did care alot when u cried after game 1.

I'm happy Gwatney is here, im loving it. Lets get at it and get us a Championship and have FUN.

Thanks Adam for the comp by the way.

When I said that stuff on the field I was p***ed, and  no one else heard me but you and Cam, so I put no one down, I never carried what I said into the dugout and never said anything to make someone play worse. I picked that person up in the dugout, but while it was happening it was a different story, when things go wrong like they did all season, stuff gets said when emotion are running high, but I never made some feel bad about what happened.

Then get off our thread Coleman. Come on here talkin head. Yeah right.

And if I remember correctly. We've HAD yall beat in the last 3 games weve played yall in baseball havnt we?
2 years ago, we were ahead, blew a nice lead at yalls place. Had the lead all the way til the last inning in Game 1 this year. Second game was close til i booted like 34 balls. Hope yall arent coming on here saying yall are all big and bad. Please dont do that. Yall almost lost to JAX...the worse team in 6A.

thats the problem though, yall might have had us beat but in the end, who won??? check the scorecards bud...

btw, where are  you goin to college? mom wants to know.

I talked to a guy at the gym the other day, and he made a suggestion that EVERY Jax High baseball player probably should do (other than shutup on FF).

Go to Competitive Edge Sports Academy (www.CESAcademy.com) and learn how to properly swing the bat........ this is not intended to be a knock on anyone but some "good advice" would really help you guys especially at the plate.

those numbers aren't that great........... well if you play for Jax they are, but nowhere else.  Now if the BA was in the .450-.500 range and the HR's were around 10 that would be something to talk about.

speakin of Gwatney, did anyone read the article in the leader about the A/AAA sweep of SH?  I don't have the paper in front of me but the write up said something along the lines of: Jacksonville Gwatney beats long-time nemesis Sylvan Hills 2-1, with SH missing key players.   IMO this is a backward way of saying Gwatney isn't good enough to win vs SH, unless SH is missing players.  As a reporter for the "hometown" newspaper this same reporter has, over the years, taken swipes at just about every team Jacksonville High puts on the field and is now using his pen to takes swipes at the hometown legion team as well.  I will be contacting the newspaper as well as some of the people that advertise in it to try and get something done to end this constant disrespect that Ray Benton seems to show towards particular teams that he reports on and favoritism towards others.  As a reporter you are "suppose" to be unbiased to the teams you deal with on a day to day basis.  Him saying that is like me saying Ray Benton is a good sports reporter but he only works for Leader........

I'm just f-ing sick of that BS.  It's like when the football team beat MH.  The article read something like "Jax escapes with win over MH by scoring 15 4th quarter points"    If it were anyone else (NP, Cabot, SH, etc) He would have probably said, "BLANK, showed guts and grit with a come from behind victory over conference foe Mountain Home, the ??? trailed 12-7 as the clock expired ending the 3rd, but ?? never gave up.......... blah blah blah"   Everytime this clown writes anything about JHS or the kids from there he has to have some messed up comment(s) taking away from the accomplishments on the field........

not to take away from the issue, but I know for a fact that he was more than complementary of the A ball club. He told me this was the best A team that he had seen in Jacksonville and that they were a very good ballclub ( which I happen to agree they are very good). He also was amazed at how that J-ville was unable to put it together on the field in high school. We seem to be putting the pieces together in A ball and I hope that the AAA guys can keep that going.

it doesn't matter if YOU were hittin or not "kid", you are a starter and pullin your starters kinda puts the team in "coast" mode, even if that particular starter isn't on his game that night........

IMO if you want to sub in a varsity or AAA game take a couple starters out, leave the rest in, and play that way.  "A" games are to get the younger kids up to speed and allow them to get "pt", AAA games should be played by the guys that worked their way up and earned that spot, you can't pull them and let the game go to heck  This "playin eveyone every game crap is for little league, you don't do that when you get up to the level you are playing now.

Man chill out with the bashing of Coach Hick.  I have known the man a long time and he is a great coach.  I know the whole family, they are great people.  What he was probably meaning, now this is just my oppinion, was make a solid effort or play it off the fence/wall.  He expects nothing but the best from his players, and he gets that 100% effort.  That is all any coach could ask, total effort.  As far as the reporter thing, let it go dont worry bout it.  Reporters have been doing the same thing for years to Jacksonville, its just part of their job.  If you let it bother you they will keep writing it.  The best way to shut him up is to play above and beyond and prove him wrong.  We all have critics, but how we respond to them is what they are ultimately looking for.  If we cry and complain about what they are writing/saying, they got the desired response they were looking for.  If we go out and do the opposite of what they wrote, then yes they will still write but their credibility is slowly going down the drain.  On both issues it is hard to convince people to change their minds, but back to baseball, I remember when hussle meant something when you get up and dust your shirt off then worrying about who sees me in my uniform.

don't get me wrong I have allot of respect for Coach, what he's done, and where he's been, but I think he has gotten a little complacent in the last few years.  Anyone that played for him "back in the day" would be surprised at what goes on now. 

as far as the reporter thing........... well this one in particular should realize that if he keeps ruffling the feathers of the people that pay his salary he won't be receiving it much longer.......

If he keeps doing that, leave no doubt.  Dive after balls, turn a single into a double, leave it all on the field.  Wheater you know it or not, you are being watched at all times.  Yall dont understand how but let me give you an example, next time you go into your neighborhood wal-mart, say hi to someone that you know comes and watches yall play, and do it to people who dont watch you play and you will see them around and they will come around and that helps people see the real Red Devil baseball team, a class act.  If yall conduct yourselves like the way that your fellow alumni have in the past, dont worry about what he is writing, It is just his oppinion anyway right.

Jax Gwatney has become a team where if your Dad/Mom has supported the program over the years either by coaching LL, making cash donations, or some other kind of support that "little Johnny" will get to play no-matter how bad he sucks.....

I can say amen to that. Johnny has been playin a lot lately. LOL

I feel that if its your first practice missed, with a reasonable excuse, plus being one of the best, you should play. If it becomes a habit then thats different.

The ball he "shouldve caught" almost hit the yellow on the fence, with bases loaded. ;-)
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on June 07, 2007, 10:17:22 pm
Tonight was a prime example of what I was talking about.  Jax was in a very good game vs R-Vegas, both teams playing their butts off.  It was 0-0 in the 4th, Jax has a runner on 3rd with 1 out. BUNT THE FREAKIN RUN IN!!!!! exactly the same thing in the 5th.  Jax is not the best hitting team in the world, they hit good enough, but should be "manufacturing" some runs.  They end up losing 2-1............. hmmm that potential run in the 4th and the one in the 5th sure would have been nice. 


Everyone knows I am not a "rah-rah" type parent, I'll get on my kiss arsss just like anyone else's.  He makes mistakes and we talk about it, sometimes he listens, some times he walks away.   I am his biggest fan, his harshest critic, his Dad, and hopefully his friend.......... BUT, for a coach to get on his butt in front of the team for not catching a ball 4 feet over his head is bullsheet.
To criticize him for making a diving attempt at a hard liner just shows the conservative attitude that has been handicapping the Gwatney kids for years.  It's plays like that, that win games for you, if he misses the ball (which he did) its still a freakin base hit, no harm.  The other two fielders were moving in to make the play if it were missed, and that is a mark of a good fielder, back up the other guy (is that still coached today?). 
Other player(s) can do the same stuff on this team and never hear a word about it, and that ends up dividing the team.  For Gwatney to win this year it's apparent that the players are going to have to make some decisions on their own.......

Tonight was a prime example of what I was talking about.  Jax was in a very good game vs R-Vegas, both teams playing their butts off.  It was 0-0 in the 4th, Jax has a runner on 3rd with 1 out. BUNT THE FREAKIN RUN IN!!!!! exactly the same thing in the 5th.  Jax is not the best hitting team in the world, they hit good enough, but should be "manufacturing" some runs.  They end up losing 2-1............. hmmm that potential run in the 4th and the one in the 5th sure would have been nice. 


Everyone knows I am not a "rah-rah" type parent, I'll get on my kiss arsss just like anyone else's.  He makes mistakes and we talk about it, sometimes he listens, some times he walks away.   I am his biggest fan, his harshest critic, his Dad, and hopefully his friend.......... BUT, for a coach to get on his butt in front of the team for not catching a ball 4 feet over his head is bullsheet.
To criticize him for making a diving attempt at a hard liner just shows the conservative attitude that has been handicapping the Gwatney kids for years.  It's plays like that, that win games for you, if he misses the ball (which he did) its still a freakin base hit, no harm.  The other two fielders were moving in to make the play if it were missed, and that is a mark of a good fielder, back up the other guy (is that still coached today?). 
Other player(s) can do the same stuff on this team and never hear a word about it, and that ends up dividing the team.  For Gwatney to win this year it's apparent that the players are going to have to make some decisions on their own.......
dang...I was hoping your legion season was going to go better for the kids...I am a fan of those guys....tell all the older kids to get together...stick together...and lead that team....sometimes you have to do it for yourselves

please dont say anything negative kurt

why would I get pss'd?  Remember it was me that called the Kansas State coach and took him to the "invite only" prospect camp.  I've always said that Cam had more "potential" than anyone else, but potential and a quarter will buy you a cup of coffee.  You have to develop your talent and keep pushing yourself to get better all the time.  I've been around this game a long time, I recognize people's strengths and weaknesses and telling them about those weaknesses is what p'sses people off, they don't like hearing about that.  It's human nature to want to hear praise all the time, but the only way you get better is to be humble enough to recognize your faults and to improve on them.  Jax/Gwatney/etc is full of players that are "decent", but they think they are all-americans, bc the over inflated opinions they have of themselves.  Why?  Maybe their parents, family, or friends have just blown them up, or their egos are so big they can't accept the fact that they are just a "role" player and they should deal with it. 
Cam is a very good ball player and yes you do play better with him in the lineup, but he's not good enough where certain people need to be "slurpin" him all the time.   Anytime a starter is missing it hurts especially one with the potential for a big play that Cam brings to the plate.  You guys have to get every run off the bases you can get and should be getting put in a position to do so and you are not.  If you don't hit all that great, you have to find ways to score, you have to bunt, steal bases, find anyway you can to get runs home and at this level, after playing ball this long, if you can't bunt then you shouldn't be playin.....

Yeah when I was on third and I think Adam was up, Coach Hick told me he'd be dragging down the line if he gets a good pitch. He told me to run if it was a slow roller but if it was fast, stay. WHAT THA HECK IS THAT? SQUEEZE MAYBE?! Dont make any sense. He wasnt that bad at the "playing Johnny" last night though. I thought when he put Daniel in that that was a good choice. He's been hittin the pee out the ball lately, no matter if its in the dirt or taking out planes.

Well to add, Noble quit last night. He said he's not coming back. Hate to see that for him... Speaking of him, why dont we run for people like Caleb, etc.?

you guys are "diving" at the ball and not keeping your weight back.........

"IF" I were coaching I'd have players like Blake, Adam, and Terrel bunt almost every time they got up.  You guys haven't been hitting all that consistant, but are fast enough that a good one down the line is a base hit for sure.....

in that situation when you have a guy on third with less than two outs, our coach has told us to get something to drive out in the outfield. all that you are tryin to do is drive in that run. if the ball gets down for a base hit then its a bonus. ive been in that situation plenty of times already. most if not all have been outs but i still got the guy in for the sac fly...

no, that's not what I meant.  Stay where you are at in the box, but move about a 1/2 back away from the plate.  Don't change anything else in your swing.  By moving away from the plate you put the barrel of the bat over the strike zone more of the time.  Right now you two are hitting allot of balls off the upper neck area.

tell yourself to do everything else the same just move away from the plate "a little"........

as for M-town, well.............. I wasn't the only one talking crap but I got tossed.  One of the coaches should have sent the player to the dug out and told him to "SHUT UP", then talked to the ump himself.  A player should NEVER talk to the ump in that situation and his coach(s) should cover his butt. 
The player should not react that way either NEVER moron at an ump as a player that's what the coach is suppose to take care of.
I should have probably kept me big yap shut as well, but it's hard to see a call like that happen then the player get tossed after the inning is over and play has already resumed, if he was going to get tossed he should have gotten it after the play. 
The ump should not have said anything to anyone outside the fence, calls are questioned and complained about all the time for that idiot to go off was totally unprofessional. 

If the coach won't get a little fired up and maybe take a chance of getting tossed himself maybe it's time for a change.  You guys seem to come out fired up, then die in the later innings and that is a reflection of your coach's chilled out attitude, it's almost like he needs a nap of something after the first few innings.  Baseball is a game of emotions and if you don't play with fire and emotion then you are going to get beat by people that do.

Cam doesn't need to lead off or bat 2nd those are your "get on base at all cost" positions and he's more of a HR/RBI guys, he needs to be 3, 4, or 5......
Your 1, 2, 7 and 8 guys need to get on base and let the other guys drive them in.  If you get HBP, bunt, walked, what-ever just get on. 

what I was talking about is starting the person at 2nd that played there, and not starting an "ace" on the mound.  JP does a heck of a job when he comes in, but not so hot when he starts.  Or start him get the other team used to seeing all that "junk" then bring in someone with a good fastball.  Totally different game vs Sheridan if the pitchers are reversed.

IDC where I bat. Im going to get on base. My confidence level is so high, higher than ever before. And thats why I'm hitting the ball. That and God. I've hardly done anything to change my swing, just putting the ball in play and running my 244 off.

I think they said he released the ball before he started to step off the rubber. I really dont know though. I know his pitch before that was def a balk. Maybe the umpires were kinda getting a "revenge" call? Still, he has no part to cuss the umpire out. I didnt get K'd...but yes, he was lights out.

He didnt walk one person, no BB or HBP. Excellent control. They had another big dude who came in after him. He threw kinda hard, a little less than Seth's speed. He was very hittable. They're a VERY aggresive team. They stole all night on Tubbs, and you know he has an arm. They double stole twice if I remember right. Bunt a lot too but they were gettin em down on us. Right field (me), didnt get a ball all night. So tell the left side and middle infield to be ready. Good luck fellas.

what I see is a few jealous, self-centered, cry babies.  I see a bunch that should be "role" players messing it up for the people that should be considered "leaders" and the ones that should be leaders not stepping up and doing so.  Too many people that think they are all-americans, when they probably wouldn't be starting for anyone else.   There are leaders and role players in everything you do, whether its business, sports, or just life in general, and people just need to know their place.  Some people just need to shut the heck up play ball and keep their ego in check, and realize that they aren't as good as their mommies, daddies, etc say they are, this isn't Excell Park, and this isn't "Daddy coach ball".  I've said it for a LONG time there are wayyyyyyyyy to many "I's" and not enough "we's" and "teams" in Jax and it shows with the way the high school team played and by the way the legion team is playing.  For players in Jax the thrill of victory doesn't come from beating the other team but by "out doing" your teammate, who made what error, who gets a hit or not, who's batting ave is higher, (I wouldn't brag about that with a team BA is under 200).  It's not baseball in Jax but a huge game of "one up" and 99% comes from the older kids.  Too many Little League all-stars that were the sheet when they were playing "Daddy coached" ball (or Daddy's buddy) that found out the harsh truth when they moved up.  Too many "potential" major league players that don't have the work ethic or the discipline to even play for a descent high school team let alone for someone that pays money.  It's too late for the group that should be leading the Jax teams to victory, I just hope the younger kids keep their egos in check so there isn't another group with huge amounts of ability wasting it by trying to "one up" the next guy.

Yeah...I hope the youngsters like Mitchell and my bro, Clayton, etc. dont end up like our team did. I know I dont have a mouth, or ego, or anything like that, so Ill comment on this. Kurt pretty much nailed it. That Camden team was horrible, no way we shoulda lost 9-0. We have NO chemistry, NO teamwork, and ALL of the talent in the world. Teams would kill to have the talent we have. It just doesnt make any sense to anyone on the outside looking in. But me being on the team, I know where it lies, and who it lies within. I wont say names, thats not my style, but most of should know who they are(the problem is, some dont). And another thing, its hard to win when no one likes playing for the coach that we play for. He has no logic, no reasoning, no anything. He's past his prime and needs to hand it down to Hugh Walker or whoever is on the short list. We wont win much with him as coach and us as enemies. Thats as simple as it gets.

And by the way, me and Casey Winstead are going to play at Ecclesia College in Springdale. We got half of a ride. It's a first year team, with the only thing you can major in is something in the ministry. Pretty cool IMO. No hotheads, no all-stars, nothing like it is here.

oh so I get it for givin somebody props for going to college to play ball?   typical......

one thing I do see is Adam playing some pretty decent ball, he's playing the way he should play all the time

But, I might not see everything bc Im not in the dugout, but I see what allot of the other fans/parents see and it isn't good.  What I/we see is a bunch of little babies fighting, arguing, and throwing temper tantrums all over again just like high school ball, because someone is soooo jealous over what someone else did/does/says that they can't stand it.  Too many people worried about stats, playing time, who made what error, who's playing college ball, who's a "shoe in" to play in college maybe even pro, etc, etc, etc.  You clowns have NO idea what "teamwork" is and what it takes to win games.  You know one of the reasons the football team was as successful as it was, because there wasn't any of that bs going on, coach wouldn't allow it.  The problem with the baseball in Jax starts in little league and goes all the way to the upper levels, coaching, parents, kids, they/you/we are all at fault.  But, imo what's wrong with the legion team is the same thing that was wrong with the hs team.  People not knowing their place (role players and leaders) and tooooooo many LL all-stars that haven't got the pt THEY think they should have over the last few years and mad bc someone else has.  Some people should be darn happy they are playing period and quit trying to be "the man" bc guess what you aren't as good as you think you are.   Some people should quit worrying about stats and just play ball and some people should quit worrying about someone else's stats.  Who gives a crap what individual stats are if the team is losing, oh that's right in Jax we care more about individual awards than we do about team accomplishments......... 

Ricky might need some help with different aspects of his game, something a GOOD coach can help him with, but one thing he doesn't need help with is something you can't coach, it's called heart.  If you don't have heart, desire, discipline, or work ethic you have NO hope of ever playing college ball or even succeeding in life............

If we had team work, that leads to chemistry, then I'd bet my life we'd win at least half of our games. But all of that in the previous sentence is nowhere to be found in the Ville. It's unheard of. I challenge yall who read this to not argue about stupid stuff, cuss, yell, etc for 2-3 games. See what it does for us. If I'm wrong, go back to however you want...

And thanks Kurt for the reinforcement. Yeah, you always yell and get onto us - but that makes us better people and players. I've always said, "I dont mind getting yelled at as long as its for the right reason." And the majority of the time, its right. Thanks again. I'm gonna be somebody someday and I accredit a little bit of that to you.

Just play your A game Adam. Thats all you can do and all the team asks. Make your head a little bit straighter and you're gonna turn out alright at Henderson. You can do it.

Whats up guys! its been a min. since i've been on this piece.  Mainly because I didnt see how this was doing each other any good (to go on here and let our True emotions out on each other instead of confronting each other like men about our problems in person) but I've got comments of my own that I believe could end this constant back and forth on who's to blame for us losing.

Its all about making plays and coming through with runners in scoring position.  OBVIOUSLY right?  Its not because we dont have team chemistry, or because we YELL and CUSS etc. etc.  ITS BECAUSE WE DONT PLAY BASEBALL!  im willing to bet that on our 15 man roster that only 5-6 players CRAVE the game of baseball.  (i would name them but that'd just cause to many more problems). If we'd go out there BE PUMPED UP about getting the oppurtunity to play and know that the reason you aint playing is because YOU CANT MAKE FREAKING CONTACT with the baseball. and know that SOMEONE THAT CAN MAKE CONTACT is playing your position and everyone quit crying and talking sh** about the person that is playing your position saying "well i coulda made that play" or whatever is said then WE"D BE A DANG GOOD BALL CLUB! 

Kurt: we have plenty of individuals on our ball club (your exactly right) but the news that I have to break to you is this. Blake is one of my good friends and im not just saying this because of the controveries that have been happening. But your son plays as an individual about 80% of the time.  Dont get me wrong, blake is a heck of a center fielder and im MOST confindent when im on the mound and he's in center because i know i can throw a ** shot to the batter and blake will bust his balls to make the catch.  But when it comes down to it blake Ive NEVER seen you do something that might help the team.  Correct me if im wrong......but TOO many times have I seen you in the book or asking Mitchell about "did you give me a base hit", "i got a stolen base, did you mark it?" when we were LOSING!  and im not the only person the notices this either, im just the only one that I guess could stand up and say it out loud.  It just seems that YOUR STATS come first and the TEAM comes next when it should be other way around.  And KURT that fly ball the other night wasnt just CAMs fault it was blakes also.  It kinda made me mad when I came home from the game and my dad says "what the hells wrong with Camron, is he too good of a "super-star" to catch a fly ball that was straight to him?" and i had to BACK UP CAM because my dad said that everyone in the stands blamed that play on cam. Which made since because blake was involved, and ANYTHING that has to do with blake is NEVER his fault.  Its always someone elses. And theres another point on individualism, if you make a mistake and your toooo good to own up to it then that shows alot about a person right there.

Now dont get me wrong WE'VE ALL have our moments of being individuals.  its just that SOME stand out more than others.  and ill bet money that blake or kurt will be back on here to Bit** me out or tell me whos fault it really was and how there not and individual and say something about me. BUT THATS LIFE.

There is no team.
You guys poke fun at me, make me feel like I suck, so I keep up with my sh** so when you guys start saying I suck, I got the proof right there I dont.I help the team out alot, and care about the team alot. Name one time you blew a save and I came up and said you suck. i was normally the first one to come up and say get em next time.And another reason I look at the book is because you are in the dugout telling people not to give me hits and sh** like that.
Perfect example.
When we played Bryant.
I hit a fly ball to center it hit the center fielders glove and he dropped it. I make it to second and all the way at second base I can hear you in the dug out say, "you better not give him a hit on that".
What the f*** is that.
why has your attitude been so bad lately.

I would rather sit and win then, play and lose.It is not like I get my stats, to make me feel better about losing. I also keep up with how many times I don't get a hit or get on base when I have runners in scoring postion. My BA with runners in SP in like .200 and something and that is terrible I don't just get my stats to see how good I am doing, I do it to see where I need to get better.

BUT THATS LIFE.

I will not argue with one thing you said except the fly ball incident:  If the ball is hit between the outfielder the FIRST player to the ball has the ball and  should call off the other player.  Blake was there first thus the ball should have been his.  Cam has all the speed in the world but gets a horrible jump most of the time and everyone knows it.  Can this be fixed?  YES!  getting a "jump" is nothing more than watching the pitcher, seeing the ball leave his hand, seeing the ball come off the bat and reacting to it.  In one word this is called "concentration", if you are not focused on the game, concentrating on what is going on you will be slow to make a play and crap happens.  Not just in the outfield but at every position. 
As far as stats go, team stats should come first VERY TRUE.  I don't know what is going on in the dugout BUT: if you are out there busting your butt and someone else is "f-ing" you over in the book that's bs.  JP if you were pitching and someone was writing down hits that were actually errors being made by your fielders thus crediting you with earned runs wouldn't you get just a little po'd?
You guys should realize something real quick.  This is the last baseball you will EVER play (I know some of you have talked to this coach or that coach, but talking and playing are two different things) do you want to go out being a bunch of cry baby losers or do you want to go out as winners?
I would say bring all this out in a meeting between the parties concerned but I'm not sure that would do any good, this has been building up for years.  People playing when the people sitting "think" they should be.  Nobody really working all that hard at improving their game, basically going through the motions.  DA coaches that use methods of coaching and training that were outdated years ago.  Players having HUGE egos without the talent to back it up.  People that would rather look pretty and lose than get dirty and win. etc, etc, etc.........
If I were you guys I'd think about having "fun" the last month or so of the season, bc the harsh reality of it is this is it.

this is jordan: my attitude hasnt gotten bad lately, its just my emotions and the way the i feel about certain have begun to arise.  YOUVE NEVER TOLD ME "youll get them next time" I swear on it. YOUVE NEVER told me IVE pitched good or YELL for me when im on the mound to throw a strike.  YOU just keep to yourself.  When i see someone like you who has A GREAT AMOUNT OF TALENT.  but is always looking in the book and SH** to see if you get a base hit or see if your "stats" are correct then it just disappoints me.  Or when we're at practice and you dont hit your cut-off just cause he wasnt lined up with you yet, because u know that if Coach Hick YELLS at you then you've got SOMEONE ELSE to blame it on. It just upsets me.  Cause i know your better than that as a ball player. The same goes for Cameron when he doesnt hustle because he know that he wont be benched because he's TOOO good of a ball player to be benched.  It just makes me mad when someone like yall with SO MUCH TALENT not give a dang about anyone else but themselves because they know they wont get benched or anything.  You've got NO idea what its like to fight for a STARTING POSITION like me and ricky.  thats y i get so upset cause i just think to myself. Y cant someone with a better attitude and someone who makes smart plays on the bases and gives a Sh** about other people other than themselves. Y dont someone like that deserves the talent that sometimes it seems like YALL waste.  I just dont get it.  I love you blake wego WAY too far back but man someones gotta give you a hard time because i KNOW you've got the talent to go farther than me and i dont wanna see you waste on a Shi**y attitude. But the cats out the bag and i know youve got something else to say about me blowing a save or my BAD attitude. But its whatever, ive said what i needed to say.

...Cam workin out in the batters box against 85+mph wont help much. Itll help his swing, but he doesnt need that. He needs to work on timing. We've seen most pitchers throwing 72-83ish...if hes seeing 85+ all the time...you do the math. Thats my only guess for his slump.

this aint about football blake.  fighting for a postion in baseball is TOTALLY different than fighting for one in football.
Rick: to me it dont matter where you go to hit the ball or how fast your practicing hitting the ball. The reason people hit in the cage is or at the batters box is help them see the ball better and be able to tell the difference in a ball and strike quickier.  TO me the faster you practice seeing the ball the better you SHOULD hit when you see a slower pitcher in the game.  Think about a batter from the PROS to a AAA team and going 4-4 with a HR a double and two singles. Its because he's used to seeing ALOT faster pitching.  The reason cam and hitting the ball is because he's go TOO much stuff going on in his life and he knows that even if he dont hit the ball then he'll still be batting in the same position and wont get benched. NO ONE IS PUSHING CAM, its not cause we dont try its just cause CAM does what CAM wants on his OWN time.  Thats just the way he is

Kurt: of course i'd be mad if someone changed my stats. but thats the LAST THING im worried about. This is my last year to play ball why would I be concerned about stats when they wont do me NO good in about 2 months.  I more worried about busting my rear on the mound pitches that batters turn into fly balls or ground balls and us not making plays to prevent the runs from scoreing.  Im much more concerned about wins than my ERA.

once again im talking about baseball.....you dont know what its like to fight for a postion in baseball (IN BASEBALL) me and rick know all about that.  rickys just pulled himself out of it because he's gotten a lot of oppurtunities to prove himself. i've only been to the plate 8 times this season.  its hard to get your position back when you see live pitching every other game and the coach expecting you to go up there and win the game for your team.  instead of the person who has your position do the same thing your doing at the plate but doesnt get pulled because your not doing any better. Its VERY TOUGH and something i had to live with THE WHOLE SEASON INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL.  You got no idea how but i felt this WHOLE year in high school. to have a sophomore come in from another school and take your position, and myself just sit back and watch my senior year get wasted away.  and nothing i could do about it.  and now the same things going for gwaTNEy FREAKIN daniel henard who cant field a ground ball or catch a pop fly play over me. because he's gotten two base hits this year. Well SO have I. and look. i only see the field once every three games maybe.  now tell me that aint some Sh** to live with.

IF 1-4 went 7-35 wth did the rest of the team go......... 7-135?     you guys prob (other than crappy attitude) is that you get people on base and can't get them in bc there are only 3 or 4 people on the team that get a hit when its needed.  Heck MOST of you can't even lay down a decent bunt.  How pathetic is it to be 16, 17, or 18 and can't do the most basic thing at the plate that there is.

Its VERY TOUGH and something i had to live with THE WHOLE SEASON INCLUDING HIGH SCHOOL.  You got no idea how but i felt this WHOLE year in high school. to have a sophomore come in from another school and take your position, and myself just sit back and watch my senior year get wasted away.  and nothing i could do about it.  and now the same things going for gwaTNEy FREAKIN daniel henard who cant field a ground ball or catch a pop fly play over me. because he's gotten two base hits this year. Well SO have I. and look. i only see the field once every three games maybe.  now tell me that aint some Sh** to live with.
Ok in baseball I have never had to fight for playing time, but the spot I wanted to play yes. You say a kid transfered in an took your spot, well someone unproven at my position, took it from me. I got it back though, cuz when I was out there i showed that the team could not afford to not have me out there.
I think you gave up to easily. You don't suck.

your right Kurt. but another thing is, is that we waste outs to try to get the runners in scoring position.  If we cant score the runner from second base, then whats the point in wasting an out on a bunt and only getting the runner to third....when we wont even be able to score him from there.

If only we had a coach that thinks logically, i guarantee that if we would just go out and play baseball the way it should be played instead of trying to make something happen when I would even happen in the first place, then we'd atleast .500 right. guarenteed

He does not use, one of our best assets, our speed.
Half our line can steal second, steal them over there instead of bunting.
These last few games it seems like I am the only person he has told to steal. It is stupid.

Post by: slovak5 on June 25, 2007, 04:35:44 pm
i have never once given up..its just that i havent received the opputunity to prove my self like you have.  Sure ive been out and played a little bit but when your only playing every three games and the person in your spot is playing every game. ITs hard to earn your spot back.  Even when cam was in center you were still getting PT cause you were in right and left field. Its different than not playing at all and then coming in tryin to get a postion. 

But your right i would much rather have you in center cause you cover more ground, but that dont mean go out there and be super man and take someone elses fly ball or dive when theres runners in scoring position and no backing you up. You've very well already proven yourself that your the best center fielder on our team.  From now on just play your spot and no one elses, if someone else messes up a fly ball then that wont be your problem....

blake: the reason why is because coach hick is TOO old to understand how to use what he has anymore.  He just expects everyone to do there job. JUST LIKE IN WAY OLD DAYS! and baseball just aint like that anymore. He just hasnt and never will catch up to the speed of the game.

well when the cry babies that think they are better than everyone else start winning games and quite worrying about everyone else than maybe things will change. 

I heard someone from Cabot make a very good observation tonight.  "Jacksonville has some pretty good ball players, 3, 4 maybe 5 would actually compete for starting jobs for us (Cabot) but after those kids the rest would get cut........

that is very important, you guys (well the ones playin ;)  ) played a pretty decent ball game, a few mistakes that cost a couple runs but over all not bad.  still need to hit better, that was Cabot's 3rd or 4th pitcher they threw most of the night then brought in Fuller to "shut things down".   I think if you guys were winning allot of the fighting would be nonexistant, most of it is from the frustration of losing.  But, it's hard to win playing conservative almost "coaching to lose".  Not running bases, stealing, letting your players play balls out, keeping a tired pitcher in wayyyyyyy past his time, crap like that doesn't win games.....

Coulda executed a little better last night, but a better game than what we have been playin. I shoulda stepped up with someone on second and on the fly ball, but Ill make up for it tonight. Hardly any arguing last night, and we played better. All I could ask for.

Im the total opposite of you Adam, im listenin to everyone except Hick. He doesnt know what he's doing the majority of the time so Ill mind my own. Little things he doesnt do just makes no sense...not including a lot of the things he does do. No logic, no reasoning.

Post by: keepyourfocus on June 26, 2007, 12:15:58 pm
Someone told me about this board the other night and I thought I would check it out... I really can't believe I am posting. This will probably be my only post and I hope some of you take the time to read it.

I really don't know where to start... there is so much that needs to be addressed.

First, everyone needs to understand that baseball is a game. I love baseball. At times I take it way to seriously. It is not life and death. That does not mean you should not do your best or try to win. The object of the game is to win, that is why they have a scoreboard. But it means you have to keep it in perspective. One of the rewards of playing team sports is the relationships you have the opportunity to build with your teammates. Don't miss out on that.

Second, a good teammate picks others up when they are down. Everyone at one time or another is going to screw up. There are times when you might need a butt chewing. That is the job of the coach. I would never let my son complain about someone else's play. I always remind him of what he could have done better for the team. Complaining about someones error in the 4th inning makes no sense when you could have drove in a run in the second inning. Everyone who has played the game has struck out or made an error. At some point you are going to let your teammates down. One of the marks of a great player is one who can pick his teammates up. I can promise you when you do this you will see players make plays. Its all about confidence and believing in yourself... and most importantly believing in each other. You take this kind of attitude to each game and your teammates will run through brick walls to make plays.

Next... you guys talk about chemistry. Chemistry comes from working together and understanding your job. If I am not in the line up, my job is to support my team. To pat them on the rear and offer encouragement. If I am in the game it is doing my job on the field. Part of that job is doing what the coach says whether you agree with it or not. You not only have to believe in yourself and each other, you have to believe in your coach. He is human just like you. He will make mistakes just like you, you pick up your coach by giving 100% whether you are on the bench or on the field.

I have always said there are two types of people, those who whine and complain about everything, and those who are willing to take personal responsibility and make a difference. It's your choice.

Someday baseball is going to be over for you. The wins and losses really won't matter a hill of beans, but who you become and your character is what is going to matter most.

Play Ball! :)

the Jax team really played as a team in the loss to LR who-ever tonight, no fighting, didn't seem to be any ego's etc.  Showed some heart coming back from a 7 run deficit too.  I'm just wondering when the coach(s) are going to actually play to "win".   Isn't that what its alllllll about in the end anyway?

the overall game plan looks like its made to fail instead of succeed.  Holding the tying run at 3rd when he could have scored.  Bring in pitchers that, although giving a great effort, haven't had all that much experience when there are others ready to go.  I could go on forever about why it seems like "coaching to lose" instead of trying to win games.  At least there wasn't any bunting with 0 or 1 out to advance the runner from 1st to 2nd. 

I know there are people in the bottom of the order that don't like being there but leave it alone with some decent sticks at the bottom in makes the entire rotation better.  If you stack all the good sticks at the top then you are an "every other inning" team.

That's hard to do though. Who would you have at second, short, and third? Lineup?

Nice article in the paper, 501 lbs...impressive.

1-Blake CF
2-Adam 2nd
3-Cam RF
4-Tubbs C
5-Seth 3B
6-Thurman SS
7-Ricky LF
8-Ted-1B
9-Mitchell, Henard, Pee Wee, or Lil Thurman as DH for Winstead pitching.
Hard pick between Winstead or Seth pitching. I just like Seth at 3B and hitting more than just him pitching.

Casey or DH?

If Seth is pitching I'd still leave him at 6 and put Mitchell at 9 and on 3rd.

Adam before you get ps'd bc I think you should be 7 instead of 2 listen up.  With you at two it makes the top 4/5 almost too strong then we seem to go into a "lull" at the end.  Moving AU to the 7 hole makes the end of the middle stronger but it also makes the bottom even better.  We seem to get a couple of the first few on base, but nobody can drive them in.  This isn't a "diss" but in my mind a promotion.

the only problem with that is TB isn't hitting good enough right now to advance the people infront of him around.  If Blake gets on in the 1st or you in the 2nd or 3rd you need someone like Ted in that 2 hole to get the runners moving and TB isn't that guy. 

Plus you left off a LF

Terrell really hasnt had a shot a 2B but if you're at SS, then it should be TB or Henard at 2B. Jordan just doesnt make consistent contact with the ball. Henard rarely strikes out... And if you're thinking Henard can't field... Well Jordan had a lot of errors at SH. That might play in the back of coach's mind. ...And like I said, Terrell really hasnt had a chance.

my question is .......... what is going to happen next week?  is Hick going to kill the A or the AAA by moving players up or down.  Two years ago the A was 21-6 and lost some key players to a average AAA team.  Will the same thing happen this year?  I know some of the A parents are saying the heck with AAA but what they don't realize is as good as A has been the other teams haven't loaded up yet and will for the tournement.

They're not
There's no way they'd have teams from the same zone on the same side of the bracket in the first round. There are also no top or bottom seeds. It's just one seeds set up against two seeds and the rest takes care of itself.
This is the first-round bracket. Draw your bracket lines accordingly.

Jax
Rogers

Jonesboro

Texarkana

yeah that's what I heard today, thanks for the help though.  I still don't understand the "host team" getting an automatic bid and taking someone else's spot.  By NLR getting in that screwed Cabot or Conway out of a chance to play.  I say take the normal "zone" teams and if the host team is getting to play let them have a "play in" game just for that reason.

AAA Zone Action: WOW!!! what a game.  GC had SH down 14-2 after 5 and SH made a furious comeback tieing it in the 7th (or was it 8th).  SH could not touch the GC starter and killed the bullpen, and couldn't get to the closer.  GC killed the starter, the first couple from the pen, and hardly touched the closer.  30 runs, 25 hits, and 6 errors in a game that didn't get over until after 1am............. ahhhhhh
GC played the best ball I've seen them play all year, heck maybe for 2 years the first 4 innings, they hit, they fielded, they did everything the way they should be doing it all along.  Hopefully they have enough left tonight for Cabot, who went extra innings to beat Maumelle last night.  Fuller vs Smiley what a match up, I'll give the nod to Fuller in that one, both kids pitched very well though.  It would be awesome for the kids leaving Gwatney to beat their two biggest rivals the first two games of districts their last year playing.  Go get em guys, get fired up, STAY fired up and kick some Post 71 butt.........

FOOTNOTE: with three coaches sitting around you'd think one of them would get the Chevy boys fired up when SH started coming back and GC was "flat".  Where is Travis Lyda when you need him?

SH  14   9   3
GC  16  16  3

The GC bunch needs to get some intensity, get their butts fired up or they will blow the game.  They were D E A D after the 3rd and stayed that way for the rest of the game.  If it weren't for some very timely hitting in the 6th they'd be playing at 2:00 today.

SH on the other hand............. well GC got in their heads, not by running their mouth but by playing good baseball.  The SH kids acted like a bunch of spoiled brats, arguing with the umps, chanting "chokers" as they came back and generally acting like a bunch of freakin jerks.  I don't know if there is a 1 game suspension rule in legion but SH's BIG stud pitcher got ejected for running his mouth after he was called out looking on strike 3 last night............   

GC showed the kind of ball the "can" play last night but they need to keep it up for 9 innings.  They can make it to state, but have to get and keep their heads in the game....

he tripped over the bag, the 1st baseman was in his way on the past ball so he had no choice but to turn in.  He was then tagged out....... The umpire turned his back to the play when the ball went to the fence so he had NO idea if Blake made an aggressive turn to 2nd or was just getting out of the other players way, or had stumbled to the area he was standing when he was tagged.  The ump should have asked homeplate for help. None of GC's coaches even argued the call or anything, once again its like they expect to lose or don't care if they do.  Let me ask the Cabot player(s) on here a question......
If that same play happened to Cabot would Coach Runyan (sp?) blow a gasket or what?   
It's time for a change in the GC legion baseball program.   

OBTW:  (The rulebook says you have to make an "aggressive" turn towards 2nd before you can be tagged out on a play like that)

actually i dont think that runyan would blow up. he would get hacked at us for turning towards second.

after that play, i asked the umpire behind the plate if he wouldve called him out and he said "well heck yeah i wouldve called him out. he was a good 6-10 feet in fair territory."

Well there ya go Bugeaters.  Not everyone thinks like you do.  By the way.  You have offered hundreds of suggestions throughout the season as to what Hick should do to be a better coach.  What I want to know is what makes you such and expert?  Where did you play or coach ball?

Well the home plate ump said that after I blew up. I was no where near 6-10 in fair territory. I was standing on the line when I got tagged. I mean it was obvious I was not going I was walking back to the base taking my batting gloves off. So it is whatever now. Who cares.

As far as Coach Runyan goes.  He said today he would have taken the player out of the game for blowing up like that.  He read the board this morning and got a kick out of the talk about he himself blowing up.  He said no way he blows up there, but he would take the player out of the game and would likely get rid of him for the rest of the summer.

the reference I was making was towards the fact that Coach Runyan seems a little bit more ............ umm shall we say "fiery" and emotional.  And the coaches from GC are a little more passive.......  I was just wondering what he would have done if one of his players would have tripped over the bag and was "walking" back when he got tagged out.  If you read the rulebook SDJ it does say an "aggressive" move towards 2nd, we learned wayyyyyyyy back in LL that you can actually turn towards 2nd and not be tagged out.  The main point of the player getting upset was NOT at the call but the fact that none of the GC coaches came to his defense.

FYI: I have NEVER coached on this level, but within a couple years I will be.  I played at the University of Nebraska a "few" years ago, should have went to JC or the minors but parents thought the degree was more important........

I am not the one on here running my mouth for months and months and months.  So where I played is not of importance at all.  Believe me you have gotten the attention of a lot of people.  Even some names that have appeared within the past few posts.  You blast the Sylvan Hills kid and then bingo the same thing happens with yours and as I said they go a 2 for one deal in Morrilton.  Not often that the parents cannot somehow keep their cool.  As I said the aforementioned coach said he would have taken him out of the game and certainly would have thought about getting rid of him for the remainder of the season.  UAPB looking for an assitant I guess.  Never knew that people would actually KNOW they were going to have someone else ask them to coach 2 years down the road.  But if you do so be it.  I hope you are ready for the parents to yell from the stands all year and then get behind a computer screen and blast your skill as a coach after every game.  But it is a 2 year wait at the least so I wont be holding my breath.

Everyone knows who I am, I don't "hide behind a computer" if someone would like to chat with me in person I'm happy to meet them anywhere they would like.  You want to bust me out that's fine, I can take it as well as I can dish it out, but if you are calling me out on certain issues at least have the nads to answer my questions.  Or were a "band guy" growing up that recently decided to be a football/baseball expert and didn't play or coach anywhere.   No, that's not it I bet you were one of the male cheerleaders......... yeah that sounds about right. 


I do not have a personal issue with the coach or any other coach I just think that it may be time for him to step aside and let someone else take more of the responsibilities from him, but NOT leave the program, that is the last thing I want to happen.   I think someone with a little more fire would be nice, maybe the coach that ran the "A" squad or someone like him.  Coach loves his players, they love him and he loves the game don't get me wrong all I'm saying is the kids want to and are better at playing a different "type" of baseball than he coaches.    Coach did show some fire tonight after the NLR loss, it was quite evident to everyone in attendance what was going on.  I'm not saying GC would have won with different "blue" on the field, but it sure as heck would not have been that one sided.  I hope Cabot run rules NLR on Sunday the two best teams in the zone should play for the championship.  IMO that would be Cabot and Conway...

Never talked crap about you.  Just stated the facts of the case.  Had someone not called out Sylvan Hills and bashed their behavior first then the Morrilton incident and then the one the very night that stuff was posted.   All I know is I bet you could count well in excess of hundred posts on this board calling into question coach Hick.  So far as to say just ignore him, and do your own thing.  Everything the team got a lead it was the players, and then the same players give up the lead and it is the coaches fault.  He should have called them up and got them fired up etc.  I don't think that is why someone comes from 12 runs down to tie.

SDJ how many GC games have you been to this year?  the last two years?  the last three years?  You've got over 9000 posts, which tells me you spend ALLOT of time on here, this thread has gone on for 40 some pages.  Why are you chiming in now? 

Don't get me wrong this is NOT a personal issue, I love what the man has done for baseball in this town, all I'm saying is he needs to let a/some "quality" people come in and help run things.  I'm not talking about getting some assistants and all they are "allowed" to do is bag equipment and coach 1st base either.  I'm not making excuses for the players either but there is/has been ALLOT of frustration shown both on and off the field bc these kids are tired of losing and losing bc "we don't play to win".  The wrong players playing, the wrong players playing in certain positions, starting a pitcher that "specializes" in off speed stuff vs a team that creams the off speed but can't hit the fastball and visa versa.  The wrong pitch being called for a particular batter, not bunting runs home but yet bunting a guy from 1st to 2nd, "sacrificing" an out on a team that doesn't hit well enough to bring that runner in.  Playing with the attitude that "regular season games don't count, the only thing that matters in the playoffs" (that's all well and good but by the time you reach districts/zone your players are so tired of the same ole bs they just want to go on vacation).   If you watched any of the single A zone or state tourney, then watched some AAA ball you would see and understand exactly what I'm talking about.   There has been enough talent come through here in the years past, especially last season where a state championship should have been expected.  Not "well lets play everyone" and see what happens when we get to the tournament.  This isn't LL, and just bc "little johnny" is sitting on the bench or he's been in the program since T-ball, or his mom/dad has helped out in the program for years doesn't mean the kid should play.

what does me being in a ditch in Jax have anything to do with what we are talking about?  bc I surely do not know what you are referencing to.  I don't care how long you have been on FF that does not any difference in this issue.  I asked you how many GC games you've attended over the recent years and you come at me with some other bull stuff so I would guess that you have not been to any.   I guess with your 9000+ posts you are knowledgeable enough to know that if you call someone out at least be able to back your stuff up or be prepared to get called out yourself.  You seem to have NO facts to back up your statements, I guess you must think that just bc you get on Hogwired of any of those Razorback sites you are an expert there too, huh.

Yes, you are correct...... BUT, when the ump has his back to the base runner bc of the passed ball, he should at least ask homeplate for some help.  The runner was walking back to the bag taking off his gloves when the tag was made.  He had tripped over the bag and then had to avoid the first baseman.  He couldn't have made an "aggressive" turn if he had wanted to, he probably should have fallen down behind the bag at least then the ump could have seen him laying there and not assumed to what had happened.  At least call time out, and confer with HP on to what HE had seen, then call him out or safe, it was not one of those calls that required a split second decision.  Do NOT get me wrong I am not defending or condoning the player's behavior after the call was made, he should have tossed.  BUT the call was bad, the ump out of position and the entire situation should have been handled differently.

Actually I would say over the past 4 years I have been to around 30 games.  Most recent game I was at.  Was when they beat Sheridan.  Storm came in shortened that one.  I did like the missed call at the plate when the Jacksonville kid slid under the tag.  Hey Jacksonville won though.  As far as the ditch comment.  I have to say this.  Was I talking to you?

Post by: powerlifter90 on July 29, 2007, 12:00:22 pm
so the only first hand knowledge you have of what's going on is your attendance to roughly 1/4 of the games played over the past 4 years.  anything else comes from what you read here.  unfortunately what you often read here is not the "complete" story and I do understand if that is what you are going by how you can seem to be "misinformed".   come to a few more games and you will see the "tendencies" that are soooooo predictable in the program.   The A team was beaten in the state championship, which is usually a real good indication that there is some young talent in the program, some young talent that could possibly do the same thing once they all hit AAA.   But you need to remember this group that just played their final game last night went 21-6 their last season of A ball.  They lost their first 4, won 21 straight then went "two and BBQ" during districts.

you know I was overseas during my son's soph year of hs ball and in California last summer for most of the GC season.  I got updates from my wife and from my son on each and every game played those years.  NOTHING takes the place of seeing it first hand, each person you talk to sees something different and each person will leave this little detail or that little detail out depending upon their knowledge of the game or how important they feel that detail is/was.  Unless you see it in person or on tape you don't get the full picture of what happened.   SDJ you seem to have some knowledge of the game and I bet you dinner you can sit in the stands for most a season and you will see exactly what I'm talking about.  I am not the only person talking about this, just the most vocal.  My wife has almost no knowledge of the game and SHE can almost predict what is going on from game to game, inning to inning.

I'll have to agree, but you guys had 6 errors that didn't much either.  When a pitcher has to "serve up" a pitch in hopes of getting a strike bc he can't buy a corner (I think the corners were already bought last night), it won't lead to good results.  A "missed" call here a missed call there can really add up over the course of 9 innings.  It was just not right but when we saw those two bozos at the beginning of the game we knew you guys were screwed.  If the same two umps that called the GC-SH game were there it would have been a different game.  But I think it was predetermined who was calling all of NLR's games if they made if from round to round. 

I just hope Cabot kicks that butt...........

I think your brother should have started, THEN brought it Fenton and Jordan.  Give them a little speed followed by some finesse. 

The Cabot folks were wondering why Seth didn't start vs them.

I was wondering why they didn't bunt in the tieing run with no outs and the kid standing on 2nd.  I think they were in the bottom part of their order too, so that only makes more sense.

well, basically, if you dont throw strikes, they get walked or get base hits and people are able to score 11 runs in the top of the first. i believe that if you took away that one inning, we couldve blown that game outta the water. they hardly had any good pitching left. we went into that game with 5 or 6 healthy pitchers.

well it was a little bit of both. you would think that if you have a pitcher up there that isnt doin to good that the ump would give him the benifit of the doubt and call the close pitch his way, but we have had problems with that ump since our game in conway. we dont like him. he doesnt like runyan. he definatly doesnt like me. i know that for a fact.

which ump was callin?   please don't tell me it was the same crew GC had Saturday night?

I don't think it wouldn't do any good, but what if Coach Runyan and Coach Hick filed some kind of complaint?  Not to the commissioner that was at the games and telling the umps what to call, but over his head.   I very seldom will blame an ump or ref for the outcome of a game, but they can make enough of a difference to swing it one way or another give one team an advantage at certain parts of the game.  I know in the GC game even with the questionable calls if a hit or two for GC would have fallen they would have won anyway.  But, it seemed like that "fantom" baulk call really took the wind out of their sails.....

In other words he wanted the pitcher to "serve it up" for the batter......... same thing that happened vs GC

IF........ NLR beats Conway you know something is fishy in Burns Park.  I actually feel sorry for the players at NLR, even though they qualified for state or even won the zone people will remember how some of the things going on during the tourn were just not right.

NLR beat Conway last night?   NLR is NOT "that" good.  IMO Conway and Cabot were head and shoulders better than everyone else in the zone.  Followed by GC, Maumelle, SH, and NLR in that order.  I don't want this to sound like sour grapes, I'm just going by what I saw on the field during the course of the tournament.   

Conway beat NLR 5-2 according to KTHV sports......

with you going to school at HSU, if you establish a residency in Arkadelphia and stay there over the summer you can play for the legion team there.......  IF you stay there over the summer that is.  If Tubbs or Blake had any eligibility left they could play for Conway or PB if they lived there over the summer too.  You are right I don't think Coach would release either one of you unless..... now follow me here.  Most of the players that are too old for AA asked for a release and presented it to him like this.  "Coach take the 2007 "A" squad designate them as "AA" in 2008 and go back to state, don't even have a "AAA" team.  Then the year after take that same "AA" team and go back to "AAA".  I don't know who of you guys will be in their last season in 08, but if its just 2 or 3 of you I'd go for it.  You can get the experience of playing for someone else AND GC would still have a good team to field. 

Now to the dugout issue: I have been around baseball and football in this town for 10 years or so.  I've noticed there are allot of "bad apple" type kids that come through the different programs.  Kids that are so down on life, on themselves, that they can ruin the atmosphere for everyone they come in contact with.  You really can't blame the kids, most of it comes from home.  You see allot of kids in LL or Sertoma that if they aren't playing they are complaining bc "they think" they are good enough to play and the only reason that someone is ahead of them is bc they/their parents/their grandparents/etc. kissed someone's butt to get them there.  Instead of going out, checking their "tude" and improving THIER game they would rather moron and moan about those that do.  You talk about teams like Cabot, where the dugout is paying attention, cheering on those that are on the field, etc. well my friends that comes from the kids getting positive reinforcement from home, and that comes from the coach or coaches getting them off their butt and telling them if they are going to be a part of the team they "act" like it.  Always remember:
1.  there is NO "I" in team
2.  nobody is responsible for you other than you
3.  when it really comes down to it NOBODY, you are the only person you can depend on.
If your game or your life is not where you want it to be, it is your responsibility to get it to where you want it to be.  If you guys, as the older players on the team want to improve the attitude in the dugout its up to you.  If you start it, the younger kids will follow and maybe set a trend in Jax that can improve how things are not only in baseball but every other sport as well.  If you do plan on coming home over the summers, get involved with the LL program either by umping or coaching.  If you are going into coaching or teaching as a career nothing will help you more than starting at T-ball.

I plan on umping next summer. The kids down there need some guidance, and I feel I can provide at least a little bit.

Ya see the thing is though, the kids with the bad attitudes and work habits--->I know their mom and dad and everyone else in their family. And I know its not how they were raised. Thats what pisses me off the most. They do it to get attention or to think theyre cool or something...I really couldnt tell you.

There was a major change in the TEAM towards the end of the year. Things were looking better on and off the field. We all hung out more, which adds chemistry, and we played harder on the field, which means winning. I see next year as the best year yet...."TEAM" wise.

Two years ago we were leaving the "A" zone tournament after going 2 and BBQ.  The "A" squad had went 21-4 during the season only to blow it in.  We were having a discussion about you transferring to SH or Cabot for your last two years of high school.  Coach Lindley had said you were too small for football, and you were already fed up with certain aspects of the baseball program.  You said you wanted to give the new footaball coach a chance and to finish playing baseball with all your friends that you had come up with through little league.   Ever wonder "what if"?

lets see,.............. hmmmm........... all conf JR year, good speed, decent bat (wasn't he in the top 3 for BA the last two years?  think he had the highest BA last year) average arm, going to play D1 ball, 4 years starter at Jax........ I think either one of those teams could find a spot, he might not start as a FR or SO but I'm sure he'd be there as a JR and SR.  Gotta remember if you play in a better program you step your game up a notch or two.  Two things that will help make you a better player, better compition among teammates for a starting job means you become better, and a better coaching staff, gives you the little extras it would take to excel at those places.  Another thing to think about when you start throwing names around about who he wouldn't replace.  How many times did he get replaced in CF this year both in high school and legion ball by someone that EVERYONE thought was "better"?  Only to be back in CF a game or two later.......
Then there is football......... yeah he'd start for either of those two too.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: HSUball2 on August 05, 2007, 11:39:05 am
no doubt in my mind he would get better
u were talkin about transferring him over in his junior year and people have already established themselves
sam bates------broke the hits record ( i think)
corey wade-----they wouldnt replace him
logan lucas------signed with ualr on a scholly

ross bogard-----drops bombs, signed with ualr
hunter miller-----great bat, great arm
shod needly-------hits for average, fast, great fielder

i already told u i mean no harm by this argument im just stating these things
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on August 05, 2007, 12:39:27 pm
well .......... all I'm saying is if he was "fighting" for a spot his game would improve. 

HR's don't make a ball player, it doesn't go anygood to hit 4 or 5 HR's and have a BA in the 200's (evidentially 200 is pretty good in Jax)

there was a BIG debate in the bleachers by the SH coaches as to who they would like in CF if they had a choice.

not that good of a BA

so I guess what some people are saying is one of the better players at Jax/GC couldn't earn a starting spot for one of our neighbors.  Geez......... what's that say for the rest of the kids in the program?

It's REAL hard to tell how any player would fair at a different school or playing for a different legion team, depends on how the coach teaches and how the player fits into that system.  An average player on team A might be a star for team B and visa-versa.  Different coaches deal with different kids in different ways, you really don't ever know.   Heck you don't know if a kid that plays infield for one team might not have developed into a heck of a catcher or outfielder for another, etc, etc, etc.   But IMO and its only my opinion a player that is good enough to go on and play "D 1 ball" probably could have made it on just about anywhere..........

maybe......... you don't know how you would react to different coaching methods or maybe to a different position.  think about all the different coaches you've had and positions you've played.  you did better some years than others didn't you?  you never know playing for Coach Burrows and Coach Hick you might have been as good as you ever would have been.  Nobody really knows how they would have done somewhere else, but chances are if you got into one of the "dominate" programs in the area you probably would have been a better player, if you go with the "odds".

I know with Coach Hick just telling me "relax and swing like you used to", I hit at least .130 higher in Gwatney than in h.s. I hated someone tinkering with my mechanics every week. I was always a decent hitter til h.s. Then I was just horrible. Yeah, alot was due to better pitching, but ya get my drift?
Through the first 9-10 games of Gwatney I was hitting .380 with OBP of .640.  High school I ended up like .163 and .331 or something. Thats a crazy difference.

Post by: powerlifter90 on August 07, 2007, 06:24:22 pm
They is an old saying......... "if it's not broke don't fix it"   Little, slight hints on technique will often help a player especially a hitter.  Hitting is nothing more than rhythm and timing, once you learn how to do things right you do it over and over.  You develop confidence when you succeed in this case hit (right Rick).  If someone is messing with every little thing over and over and over, how are you ever going to get into a rhythm?   A few of the aspects of good coaching is to know what you can and can't fix, what will help and what will hurt.  There is no magic pill for anything and what works for one person doesn't always work for another.  You have to know your players strengths and weakness or you will never get all the potential out of them.  Thank God for your strengths and improve your weaknesses to be better at anything.

I have been gone a while so I have to tune in to what is going on about replacements. I know Coach Fitch (cabot high school coach) personally and he loved having CW in centerfield. CW started in rf as a soph then moved to center starting his jr year after hatcher graduated. Cw had the strongest arm on the team and that is including Fuller. After catching a deep fly ball he threw out a runner at home that was tagging up. Ask bpanther08 about it. I spoke with coach Fitch this past Sunday and he was hoping Corey would want to play at the next level. I told him reasons Corey didnt play legion and he simply decided it is time to walk away from a game he has played since the age of 5. He is heading to the UofA to obtain a finance degree. On the subject of Blake we could have used him and I personally believe he could have helped us in the conf and playoff race. Of course all that is behind us and I wish him and all the other cabot/jax players success  at the next level

CW is my son. This is the first season (this fall) that I havnt watch either one of my boys play some type of ball in 19 years. My oldest son Brandon Wade is going into his 4th year at uca. He was a 2 sport athelete until midway of his soph year. (high school) That is when he quit baseball  to concentrate on football where he made all state as a running back. I have to admit I do envy many Dads that are able to watch their boys play at the next level. I guess I am having withdrawls but good things have to end someday. To the jax/cabot boys that read this post you guys are students first and athletes second. Sports is temp but an education is for life.

Gosh y'all don't laugh but this is coming from the heart. This will be my last game with Tubbs, JP, EB, Blake, Casey, Brian, maybe Adam and the rest of y'all. Now, I seriously don't care if AAA or A wins. This is my last game EVER with the boys I've played with since I was four years old. I've thought about it all day, and it hasn't seemed to have left my mind now either. I mean sure, I'd like to win...but, I'm going to go back to how WE played when we were four and five. I'm going to go out there playing balls to the wall and to have FUN. Before the last part of Legion ball, FUN was nowhere to be found in Jacksonville baseball. Not anywhere. Isn't that the reason why we first played though, for fun and for the love of the game? That's why I started, and that's why I still play. And that's the way I'm going to go out with my boys. I'm gonna play with all of my heart and all of my soul. I'm going to leave everything on that field, one last time with my FRIENDS.

...continued...

This isn't no Forrest City where it's our last HOME game of Jacksonville High School Baseball. This isn't J.A. Fair where it's our last game period, of Jacksonville High School Baseball. This isn't NLR where we played our last game TOGETHER in Districts of American Legion Baseball either. This is our last game TOGETHER, EVER. I'm seriously typing this misty-eyed thinking back on all of the memories shared. ((Our team road trip to Fayetville to watch the Hogs play, TOGETHER. Us beating up Baker when he caught a cramp on the bus, TOGETHER. Our "name game" that Me or Adam always seemed to win, TOGETHER. Our wrestling in the locker room ending up with Jordan's finger broke, us running line drills, TOGETHER. Us walking out (me falling) in our last pep-rally, TOGETHER. And yes,even our arguments that seemed to happen everyday, we argued TOGETHER.)) Guys,this is it. Our last game TOGETHER, ever.Yeah, I said EVER.So boys, lets go out like we came in- balls to the wall, having fun...TOGETHER.

AAA 4-3. We played with just me and Blake in the outfield, 8 players, lol. Some weird rules in the game too. Round robin batting. Pitcher could only pitch 3 outs. I was the only one on AAA that didn't pitch, lol.

They had Seth, Ted, T.Brown, Mitchell, etc.

We played with 8 players, Cam, Adam, Tubbs, and Blake pitched and we still won.
Me and Blake played outfield all night. Cam was our 1B.

Then at the end, they called up "State" next to us to try to rub it in. That's all they could say after we beat 'em with 8 players, pitching our position players. They were the ones talking head the whole game too. What a shame.

There have been a couple that might have had a chance if they had the grades or hadnt decided to go another route. The Lee kid from about 8 years ago had great talent but wanted to play football. There has been several that were not D1 but good D2 kids come through there over the years.

Cam told ME that he was going JUCO but just wanted to sign somewhere just in case. Not a bad plan, and not sure if that is true either. Cam will do what's best for Cam, and that's what he needs to do.

ST has allot of "raw" talent and allot of God given ability, problem is......... well anyone that "knows" the program knows the problem(s).  If he can get the ACT and the grades to play in college I feel he could develope into one heck of a baseball player at the next level.  What would that say about baseball in Jax?  Two D1's, two D II's, then ST withing the last 4-5 years.  You have "college level" players coming through the program, but continue to be in the bottom of the conference race............ hmmmm

Post by: powerlifter90 on February 17, 2008, 11:35:16 am
If ST wants to play at the next level he and his folks need to do some things, NOW!!

get his ACT to the level where he's able to attend college.  if you don't have the grades and the scores everything else won't help one bit.

start "camping" at different schools this summer, I would suggest 3 or 4 camps, if he
doesn't get "seen" he won't get recruited.  Do not wait until after your SR year in high school.  Get the scouts and coaches sniffing around before that time, then close the deal your SR year. 

start going to different schools web sites and filling out the questionairres, get these people interested.  in this situation you are "selling" yourself.  NOBODY else will do it for you in most cases.  I sent out over 100 of these things my son's Jr. year and he had "offers" (not letters, the letters fill up two shoe boxes) from 7 or 8 schools by the end of his Sr year. 

get some "paid" coaching from somewhere like CESA, those guys can pick apart his strengths and weaknesses better than anyone he's dealing with now

improve his skills as a "position player" incase pitching doesn't work out.  it will only make him more marketable to a particular program the more versitile he is

coming from a program that isn't as dominating as SHS, SHHS, JHS and is generally in the bottom of the conf, it's hard for a kid to get noticed unless its by accident.  You have to go out and market the product in this case.

Seth pitched against LR Chrisitan or Catholic the other night and they won 5-2.

They played CAC tonight and lost 9-2. Harmon started and they were ahead until the 3rd, then from what I'm told, T. Brown had four errors between here and the end of the 5th. Clayton and Ted came into relieve, and Ted got knocked for one straight over the CF fence.

Perry and Castleberry are freshmen.

Tuesday they started three freshmen (Perry, Castleberry, and Abrahamson) and one sophomore (Mitchell).  Even with the returning experience they are still going to be a young team.  I believe Sanders got in late. So realy they played four freshmen 

Then you factor in their ace pitcher is a Junior (Tomboli), I would say things are looking up.

Great post...except for Jacksonville hasn't executed many things in the past, an I dont know if things have changed. I wish I could go back and give them a pep talk, for real. I know when I was there I, along with many others, played worrying about too many things and that took alot of the fun out of the game.

If ............ IF .......... they would listen I think it's a GREAT idea.

The problems with Jax baseball both high school and legion are many, but they are small and can be taken care of.  Some of its kids, some of its coaching, some of its parents and some of it starts way down in the little league programs.

Some of it has to do with not having had the winning tradition for a while. Some teams know they are going to win, some teams expect to win and some teams hope to win. There is a major difference in all of these.

Your exactly right.... the kids comming up have won on a regular basis.

We will have to wait and see, I just think you are going to see a vast improvement by next year.

I'd love to do that too. We can do that all summer long though being the only two 19 yr olds in Gwatney. I'm sure we'll get singled out a lot. We're gonna have to be big all summer long.  Heard BP is coming to catch for Gwatney?! :P

UAPB is very short in the pitching staff.  They threw Moring in game one, who I believe is their ace. 

A little background on Moring from what I've been told.  Y'all remember when WC was nationally ranked a few years back.  They had a pitcher who was 11-0 for the season, also hit around .430 with 11 HR's, he went to UA and allot of the things he was told and promised during recruiting never came through.  He transferred to UAPB and is on the 2nd team pre-season all conf list.  That is "J-MO"....

They had allot of depth at pitcher to start the year but lost 4 or so to grades. 

Something for all of you to think about, nomatter if it's high school or college you are "student-athletes", the "student" part comes first........

Not in a good way.

Jacksonville lost today 6-0 vs. Greenbriar. We had like 14-15 strikeouts out of 21 outs. It just seems the problem every year is hitting for Jacksonville.

Why not take all the money that we spent on trips to Fayetteville, Nettleton, etc. and buy/rent/whatever you call it for a hitting instructor or something like that? Just a thought?

I don't even think that is what they need......If I were a coach i would hit on the field more often and hit more then 50% in the cage. I would also emphasice how important putting the ball in play is and making the defense work for outs

look at the teams that are "the" team(s) to beat year in year out in the conf.  Jonesboro, Searcy, and SH, what do they have?  good pitching, solid fielding and they all hit consistantly, I'm not talking "bombs" but top to bottom those kids put the ball in play.  That doesn't start when you get to high school/legion, that is taught/developed in the little leagues once you hit the upper levels you refine and "hone" your skills, but the fundamentals are already there.  You know what I'm talking about, you played SH so much growing up you already knew their lineup before each game, and that is what you knew about them coming into the game.  They might make a few errors if they were off, pitching could have a bad night, but you knew from T-ball on up that SH would be hitting.  Another thing is, when you speak of SHS, SHHS, and JHS you don't see any of those teams making the "little boo-boos) that can kill a rally or stop momentum in a game, the kind of mistakes that kids in high school shouldn't be making, the stuff that always doesn't show up in the score book as an "E") Jax seems to have enough "E's" without the other things I'm talking about).  Base running errors, missed or ignored signs, dropped foul balls, passed balls, over throws, outfielders missing cutoffs, missed pick offs bc of dropped or missed tags, etc, etc, etc, the type of things a good LL team wouldn't do.  Jax seems to be in allot of games only to get blown out by one or two items killing their chances.  It's almost like they find a way to lose instead of finding ways to win.   
Now look at Jax the last few years what is their biggest weakness?  Hitting, it seems that the "hit gene" is nowhere to be found in that community.  They always have some kids that can play defense, always have a pitcher or two, but they suck at the plate (and the sub .250 team BA proves it).  The fundamentals of correctly hitting a baseball must be taught to the younger kids so when they are older they can accomplish what it takes to win games and it's real evident to me by the older kids performances that something is REALLY wrong and I believe it's wrong all the way down.

I am going to disagree with you on that one, maybe it's a combination of both.  But, the observations I've made, the way people stand in the box, the way people swing the bat, the way people conduct business on the field, etc, etc, etc. it just appears that some of the basics are either missing or just plain being ignored.

Hit the nail on the head again......it's all a sign of the type of coaching they're getting, if they're getting any at all. Just because the sawed off guy has a uni on, doesn't make him a coach. Bwaaaaahaahahahahaha......

The biggest part of being a coach is getting your point across to the players, or teaching baseball. Sometimes you have to get a players attention so they'll do what they're told, whether it's running them until they're blue in the face or sitting them on the bench. Like I said in the post above, just because the lil man has a uni, doesn't make him a coach. The same goes for a lot of coach's I've seen around Central Arkansas, the one at SHHS is just as bad. Yeah, he's won state a couple of times, but he's also been loaded with talent.

kids are taught to hit in the earlier years. highschool is just learning to perfect it and learn the strategy. if you noticed the best high school teams usually are associated with the best little league programs. although this isnt always true and there are a few exceptions. and yes you must put the ball in play. if you have a lineup that consistently puts the ball in play you are more than likely going to win. you dont have to have big power hitters to win.

No, I never played for him, but I've been around the baseball scene enough to see the performance of the teams he's coached is sub-par. I believe that's enough to make a good sound decision on what kind of coach he is. J'Ville has some talent on the team this go around and if they don't play good ball this year, we'll know who to blame. Same for DA DA DA DENNY TIPTON too.

First of all, learn how to quote.

And you proved my point for me, thanks: "to see the PERFORMANCE of his team is sub-par". That states that the team performed sub-par, not him. Since you've been around so long, you'd prolly learn by now that the coach does not play for the team, the team does. He DOES coach his heart out at practice and sometimes even during the middle of games when adjustments are needed. For you to judge from the outside looking in and to bash him all at the same time is ludicrous. If you're 25+ act more mature. If you're not, well then that explains it all.

No one is on here saying he's the best coach, 'cause he's not. BUT, he's a good coach and a great guy once you get to know him. He'd do anything for his players now or for his previous ones, and we all appreciate that WAY more than we do him being our "coach".

As the old Fearless handle goes: Read more, post less. Or in your case, don't post at all until you know what you're talking about.

He "MOTIVATED" us quite well. Where I'm from and from how I've been "coached" I learned that it's not just yelling at players and running them until they're blue that motivates them. It's a lot of other things as well. Intangibles that make a coach not only a coach, but a friend.

Baseball for Dummies? That's cute.

No, I never played for him, but I've been around the baseball scene enough to see the performance of the teams he's coached is sub-par. I believe that's enough to make a good sound decision on what kind of coach he is. J'Ville has some talent on the team this go around and if they don't play good ball this year, we'll know who to blame. Same for DA DA DA DENNY TIPTON too.

The biggest part of being a coach is getting your point across to the players, or teaching baseball. Sometimes you have to get a players attention so they'll do what they're told, whether it's running them until they're blue in the face or sitting them on the bench. Like I said in the post above, just because the lil man has a uni, doesn't make him a coach. The same goes for a lot of coach's I've seen around Central Arkansas, the one at SHHS is just as bad. Yeah, he's won state a couple of times, but he's also been loaded with talent.
Coach Burrows does coach. And screw you, no matter who you are. If you haven't played for him then you wouldn't know.


First of all, learn how to quote.

And you proved my point for me, thanks: "to see the PERFORMANCE of his team is sub-par". That states that the team performed sub-par, not him. Since you've been around so long, you'd prolly learn by now that the coach does not play for the team, the team does. He DOES coach his heart out at practice and sometimes even during the middle of games when adjustments are needed. For you to judge from the outside looking in and to bash him all at the same time is ludicrous. If you're 25+ act more mature. If you're not, well then that explains it all.

No one is on here saying he's the best coach, 'cause he's not. BUT, he's a good coach and a great guy once you get to know him. He'd do anything for his players now or for his previous ones, and we all appreciate that WAY more than we do him being our "coach".

As the old Fearless handle goes: Read more, post less. Or in your case, don't post at all until you know what you're talking about.

How's that for a quote Rita. If you had read the rest of my posts you would see that I stated there is more to coaching than just teaching the game, a huge part of  coaching is MOTIVATING your players.
Same goes for you, when you finally know what you're talking about, then you can quote my posts. Until then; you might just want to sit down and do a little reading. Maybe a little "Baseball for dummies" would do you some good.
He "MOTIVATED" us quite well. Where I'm from and from how I've been "coached" I learned that it's not just yelling at players and running them until they're blue that motivates them. It's a lot of other things as well. Intangibles that make a coach not only a coach, but a friend.

Baseball for Dummies? That's cute.

I will say that you have made a good point in saying that yelling and running players is not the only way to motivate them. My point is, and has been all along....a good coach would find what makes his team tick and use that as motivation. Yes there are teams that sometimes just don't click and won't play good ball no matter what a coach does, but year after year tells me it's more than a lack of talented players. Can you give me the reason why?

U sound like u have something against coach Tipton and coach B?!?!?!
No, nothing against Coach B, I was stating my opinion and making a point, and for some reason others start taking it personal. A message board is for discussion and stating your opinions, am I wrong about that? Being a HS baseball coach is a public profession and there will always be opinions about one coach or another that are both good and bad. All I know is, there are some very good players on the JHS team and if winning is a problem, then there is a problem with the coaching.
As far as DA DA Denny Tipton goes, I know for a fact that he's treated kids poorly in the past, so yeah I do have something against him.

I go to school with 2 kids from SH and they both say he was the best coach they've had and say he was always a good motivator to play the game. U must know someone who sat the bench!

It was a very ugly game for Beebe, pitching wasn't there.  Score was actually SH 5 Beebe 2 at the end of the 2nd and then the wheels, axels, seats, canopy and most of the wood fell off the wagon in the bottom of the 3rd.

There's not just one reason - that's the thing. If I, HSU, Coach B, or anyone else knew what it was then I'd be sitting here typing with my State ring getting in the way. We had all the talent in the world, just couldn't put it together. Us from the team last year pretty much state that as a fact when people ask why we sucked so bad, and others should do the same. Trying to blame one source or one problem is probably not the best thing to do.

Just remember as the old saying goes: Pointing your finger at someone leaves four more pointing right back at you.

Jacksonville got shelled tonight 9-0 if I remember correctly. Fenton pitched good until the bottom of the 4th, where it was only 1-0. Then it busted open. Hunter Miller had 3 bombs, 5 or 6 RBIs. Regnas came in and gave up the majority of the runs.

Jacksonville still can't hit.

I think Miller should be playing baseball in college instead of or with football.  I think he may be a "good" DB maybe even start one day, but I think he has the "tools" to play in the league in baseball.

Pressure.

The night Harmon, Pee Wee, Clayton, and Abe were over here along with my brother....they all said they were scared and intimidated by Coach B. I admit, I was too. Heck, sometimes I still am when I'm at the games. I'm afraid I'll mess up or something. Almost everyone that I've ever talked to says something of this nature. He's a great coach, don't get me wrong, but maybe this is the "wrong" that needs to be right in Jacksonville?

In Gwatney we have NO pressure and you know that as well as everyone does. Heck, even I blossomed in Gwatney and hit over .275 (lol). If we mess up we know the season goes on and that there will be more opportunities. In high school it just doesn't feel the same.

Next time anyone goes to a JAX game do this for me. Observe what the batter does for JAX after he watches a strike or swings and misses or something like that. 19 out of 20 times they'll take a peak down third to see the reaction. That shouldn't happen unless they're looking for a sign. When you're in the box, it's supposed to be you and the pitcher.

Next time anyone goes to a JAX game do this for me. Observe what the batter does for JAX after he watches a strike or swings and misses or something like that. 19 out of 20 times they'll take a peak down third to see the reaction. That shouldn't happen unless they're looking for a sign. When you're in the box, it's supposed to be you and the pitcher.

What?  Afraid?  Man come on!  I saw that dude in a movie, crawling all over mountains, woods and streams looking for a "ring"!  He cant be that scary!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Wow.

The night Harmon, Pee Wee, Clayton, and Abe were over here along with my brother....they all said they were scared and intimidated by Coach B. I admit, I was too.

I was talkin to one of my teammates from SH and he said they used to talk all the time about how good we COULD be and how much talent we had last year so idk.

Just got back from the beach figured I'd catch y'all up on a couple things

UAPB got beat by Okie St 22-8 and 34-1, which isn't that surprising but what is a surprise that in the 4th they brought in a former Red Devil.......... to pitch.  In 4 innings he gave up 4 hits and was charged with two runs.

UAPB split with Wiley college on Friday night 10-8 for the win, and 7-5 for the loss.  Blake started the 3rd inning for PB, he pitched 2 innings giving up no hits, he pitched into his 3rd getting 1 out before giving up 2 hits and being replaced.

he doesn't throw REAL hard (low-mid 80's) but the ball is ALWAYS low and he seems to be able to change speed and spots real well.  He might start next Saturday's game, don't know yet.

I can kinda see the whole Coach B being intimidating, but for me that was not really it. What bothered me is in high school winning was so much more important and complete team chemistry was needed sooner, and it put more pressure on us as a team to preform. Because in legion we were going to district no matter what, and we could come together in district and still move on to state, the added pressure is just not there.

You know why the coaches were stunned...because they lost to the 2nd to worst team in the entire conference! The funny thing was your kid hitting a can of corn out of a t-ball park and running like he won the world series. Even with all Jb's injuries they still spanked you hard in the first game like normal and then played possibly the worst game this year and should have won if not for a lucky play. I guess people are not used to beating Jb so a split is something to brag about ecspecially if your busch league like Jacksonville.

Go "f" yourself you hateful "little sheet", Jax's program may finally be coming around and some arss like you comes on here and writes that kind of crap.  You can "boo-hoo" all you want JB got beat because they couldn't hit the curve plain and simple.  If you want to use that injury excuse we could say that Jax would have taken a game from JB last year if not for an injury or two, a bad break on the bases and a Jax starter being ejected for simply telling an ump that "you need glasses".  Heck everyone that has ever lost to JB at home can claim that they lost bc they because of the converted Little League field that JB calls home.  What is your excuse for JB getting spanked by SH a couple weeks ago?  Injuries?  Watts and Cleary aren't there anymore?  What was it?  Next you'll be telling me that JB lost to Jax in football and basketball bc of injuries too.  Face it the most talented athletes in the city of Jonestucky don't go to Jonesboro High they go to Nettleton and Valley View........

Geezz, guess what, you can't control what other people do, say, think or act.   You can only control what you do, say, think or act.   And you just showed what kind of person you are by talking about Jax like that.   If he wanted to celebrate like that, good for him.  I don't know if you are a poor loser or not but your post sure makes Jonesboro look like it has at least one poor loser.  Congrats Jax.  Hang in there.   fastdrop is right.  No one picked WM to make it to the Championship last year.    :) At least no one from Marion.  And they did.  Darn it.... ;)

Actually, we're the worst team. Get it right. FC sweeped us last year, therefore we start from the bottom. If you're gonna criticize us, at least get it right, bud. And if we're the worst, what does that say about y'all losing to us? :X

That "can of corn" went out at about 345-350. That ball would've been out of any park I've ever been to except for the one across the street at Dupree Park. You're right, that's the fastest I've ever seen him run, and dang, who wouldn't?! He just went up on a bunch of rich, snobby kids whose dad's are either real estate agents or insurance ones. I'd be hella happy too.

And BTW, which play was lucky? Where you there? How do you know?Where you on the bench (which is bad 'cause you didn't play against the worst team in the conference)? On the field (bad 'cause you got beat by the worst team)? Or in the stands wearing a nice yellow button-down polo crying?

Injuries are part of the game, and not just baseball either. "Injuries" lost a lot of teams a lot of games, but where I'm from, injuries happen and they GREAT teams still find a way to win. Get over it.

BTW, there's some tissues in "After the Whistle" if you haven't finished crying yet.

Go work on curveball-hitting practice, well.....because y'all couldn't do it in the game.

Hey WBF,
The "rich-snobby" kids in the town of Jonesboro don't go to JHS.  Much like the best athletes in that town the kids from money go to Valley View and Nettleton, JHS gets......... um ......... uh........ what's left over.

Like Murray Watts, Derrick Coleman, Jacob Lee and Cody Pace?

Which is funny, because I had Delta in 1st period in 2005. He was another good one...

I don't totally disagree, but JHS had had some great ballplayers. One of the major reasons kids with baseball talent go to Nettleton and VV are Pete Prater and John Burgi.

Funny yall are on the subject of Jonesboro.

Anyone, besides me, think it was kinda funny that Cody Pace, who was one of the best pitchers in the state his senior year and i believe he even no hit Searcy last year. And we all know about Seacry's lineup of "07, had to walk-on at Arkansas State.

But on the other hand you have Jacob Lee getting a scholarship to Arkansas State. Im not taking anything away from Lee BUT, Cody was by far a better ball player than Jacob. I seen a few games Lee pitched in the '07 season and the one that comes to mind is Marion rockin him for 12 runs? And i believe Searcy and SH lit him up. I could be wrong, but IMO that tells you all about the baseball programs in Jonesboro including ASU.

Valley View would have to be the place to play in Jonesboro.

I heard a story from a friend of mine.  He said his son could play at ASU bc he knew someone that knew someone.  Now his son is a pretty darn good ball player but the fact that he would be offered a "spot" just bc of politics says allot about the ASU program or lack there of........

I heard from a guy who said...... that is your basis for this statement. Awesome.

ASU has been a mid major for years. Went to the regionals under Bethea, and has had two players in the last 4 years named to All America teams. Granted, they don't have the tradition of an Arkansas or Ole Miss, but that statement from a UAPB fan is a joke.

Go tell his son what he said about a program that has way more tradition and better players than UAPB.

Not trying to down the kid, he is a good player. I think UAPB is going to be on the up and up w/ this new stadium. But to say ASU has no program, based on hearsay, is a joke.

Blake came in tonight in the top of the 9th with 2 on, score 2-2.
ground out, fly out, strike out.  The first batter for PB hit a walk off, game over.  Blake earns his first win

He started the 2nd game, called after 3, due to weather, with PB up 5-0, he had given up 1 hit and that was in the 1st.

low 80's on FB, but he has some NASTY junk.  Keeps the ball mid thigh or lower, if he misses it's low.  The one bad outing he had was vs UCA when he let some stuff get up and they killed him other than that he's done fine.  Gotta remember it's not how hard you throw its the difference in speed and being able to "hit your spots" that counts. 

Now you want to talk about slow.  Lane College had a kid throwing in game one, I don't think he broke 75 all night, PB couldn't hit him for sheet until the bottom of the 9th on the walk off.  Other than that it was ugly night at the plate.

Just hope he stays humble and keeps doing what he's doing the run for the conf tourn is up next and I don't want to see him get big headed and get shelled at the most important part of the season.

Seth started the first game against (I think) their second pitcher. He was a senior, number 21. Seth threw a 2-hitter complete game - nasty. Guy with a radar clocked him 81-82 consistently. Spiked at 85 or 86 I think. His 7th inning was LIGHTS OUT! He had to be throwing mid eighties here. JAX got 3 in the previous half inning, and Seth said that sparked him. He was pitching like he used to, before the pressure, before high school, back to ol' Floyd baseball where he was untouchable. I think he K'd the side. The whole place was on fire - you could smell and feel his swagger out there. Jacksonville finally hit the ball, and like I've said all along, if they hit, they're tough to beat.

Harmon came in the second game against their ace (IMO) - the freshie who "throws 95". I was sitting behind the guy with the radar, and the highest I seen it read was 86. Over rated? Hurt? IDK? He was still good though, threw a lot of ground balls. I left in the 5th and it was 8-0. JAX must've came back a bit. Heard Cam was up with bases loaded and popped up to end it. Harmon was throwing strikes, getting ahead 0-1 even 0-2 but the hit EVERYTHING right back up the middle at him. He walked one I think. Ted came in and what made a difference was the change of speed from Tomboli/Harmon to Ted. Behind those 3, IDK who can pitch?

In the second game searcy got the big lead and stopped trying. Let jacksonville back in it toward the end. Jax should of won the second game too, The first pitcher, pitched to 8 guys, left the bases loaded, no outs and was down 5 - 0.

I have NO idea what his stats are I don't think the coach even releases that stuff.  I know he's 1-0 as a pitcher (mostly used as a middle reliever and closer) and 1-1 at the plate with a RBI, have no idea about anything else.

I think PB has to take the next two series (this weekend and next) to qualify for the conf tourn.  With two SR's and 3 or 4 Jr's things will begin to fall into place down there, this is Coach Bumpers first "official" year as coach and word has it a entire new crop of players is on the way in.  With the new $9M complex scheduled to be finished before next season that will aid in recruiting.

That 9.00 is a little misleading, it is the 3rd lowest on the team, that's not all that bad from someone that hasn't pitched since the small fields.  He's given up 16 hits and 13 runs in 12 innings, 5 of those runs, came in less than 1/3 vs UCA, so take away that and its not too bad at all.  But, what is really important in my mind is he's getting a college education, playing ball and he'll letter.  4 year letterman in highschool, 4 year letterman in college.   

Did you see while you were on the SWAC site that UAPB's Matt Pace (freshman) is 8th in the conf in BA and leading the conf in doubles?  Matt played HS ball at Warren and was the MVP of the Ark State HS All-Star game last summer in F-ville.

Jax has SH, WM and MH left, looks pretty good for the playoffs.  Will this be Burrows first time to go in his era at Jax?

footnote: they had the talent to go last year, but the "dugout problems" brought them down.

Jacksonville has been to the state tournament before under Burrows. One year I know for sure they lost to Benton in the first round at Lakewood. He may have been twice.

2003 was the last year if I'm right.

Cameron scored the game winning run in the 1st game off of a in-the-park homerun. Hit one dead center, and I think at FC, CF is 820 ft from home. ::)

A-rod and Abe played 2B and SS in the second game. Terrell got the boot in the first game so couldn't play the second.

To "blue4hire" NOBODY on the Jax team has transferred in lately.  But SH will be getting allot more "transfers" in the future, you will be getting all the talent Gravel Ridge has to offer. 


McReynolds   SH
Hugh Walker  Jax

about the only two names that played MLB from either.  But SH's program wasn't all that hot until a few years ago. 
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: Titan Spirit on April 30, 2008, 10:26:03 pm
dont think the ridge is blessed with an abundance of talent.....let sherwood take them away and may jville get its own district....
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on April 30, 2008, 10:33:17 pm
exactly, but thanks to our city govt. we are now almost totally land-locked and if we lose that part of the district (when we break away) it would not be long before Jax is a "city only" district.  BUT sherwood wanted them, now they have them, so Meth will be more readily accessible in "da wood" now
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team

actually there is a lot of land and kids north of the gravel ridge area that are all for the jville district and will help...i dont think it will be a city only district....in fact what i would consider jacksonvilles most well know graduate came from that area......Dan Hampton...

think about the area that is now "Sherwood", it's everything North of 107, up to Macon.  If Jax breaks away the city of Sherwood wants to keep the schools in that area.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: Titan Spirit on April 30, 2008, 10:47:37 pm
i think the line will stop at tom box..and there is about 12 to 15 miles up 107 and then back down batesville pike that would remain in the jville district.......sherwood only wants its city limits left alone which is fine...jville will flourish if it happens....there is no way the area north of tom box would go with sherwood..it will remain unincorporated for a long time to come....

If Jax can get away from the PCSSD, get ready for everyone in sherwood to move to Jax.
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team

come on...i can not stand PCSSD it is the WORST school district in the state....

Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team

Thats what I'm saying.  If you can get your own district, take us with you. PLEASE!
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: powerlifter90 on April 30, 2008, 11:18:48 pm
well, here is what I and allot of people on the committee that is trying to get Jax away from PCSSD think.  REAL soon after Jax gets its own district, Sherwood will break away as well.  Jax will do all the dirty work, lay the foundation for independence then Sherwood won't have to fight as much red tape, and they will be on their own as well.  Sherwood's "b" of a mayor wants Northwood and Cato Elementary to stay in PCSSD if Jax breaks away laying the ground work for the "Sherwood District" to claim those two school when they get away too.  If that happens the Jax district would be land locked just like the city is now. 

Another thing that is being looked at however is SH, Jax and NP combining into one high school with all the feeder schools coming with.  This sounds good, however with the way the Sherwood city govt has been treating the Jax city govt it would be a disaster.  All the tax dollars from Jax and the AFB would go to this "super school" with Sherwood running it.

Heard that the Jax legion team is looking REAL good for this summer, but they are still debating between AA and AAA.  Key transfers from Des Arc and Lonoke "should" take starting positions and strengthen the team is areas that had some questions.   With some strong pitching that is already playing for Jax High it looks like the legion team could enjoy more success than the high school has been.

The new black guy, Charlie/Charles. The one who was in OF with us.

Coach Hick told me that Baxendale was supposed to play with Gwatney this summer. He said he just signed his release form and let him go 'cause he didn't want to play with us or for Coach really. Said he had a better chance at SH. I'm glad he's gone then. If that doesn't fire you up, what does?

Maybe now that the kids in Jax know what a "team" is good things will be coming for years.  Even with this young bunch they are better at just about every position than they have been the last two seasons, when they finished 7 and 8 in conf.  Congrats to the Jax kids way to play "team ball" and pick each other up instead of talking crap about teammates like what had become the "norm".

that's true.  if one kid, picks up one little piece of advice that helps him get to another level in his game, then it is all worth it........

I don't know what happened to Bake, but I'm sure he's somewhere "baked".

Jax playoffs two years in a row, 2nd seed this season.  In 07 the finished at the bottom of the conf.  Isn't it amazing what some team chemistry can accomplish.  The opponent is in the OTHER dugout, not yours.

do they have an ace or just deep on the mound....thought tomboli and harmon are their best pitchers?
Title: Re: Jacksonville Baseball Team
Post by: fastdrop on May 01, 2009, 07:58:06 am
Some coaches save their best pitcher for the next game. I think this is a mistake....in a one and done you are not quaranteed the next game and had better win the first one.

I think JAXDEVIL10 was trying to be funny.... anyway, It will either be Tomboli or Harmon. Harmon has always been considered the ace, but after his hip injury he has been trying to get back in the groove he was in before.

Honestly, I see them as two #1's. We will have to wait and see how the coaches play it.

Most of us are still around, but living the college life allows little time for chatting anymore.

I'm pursuing a Business Management degree at UALR. I have two years (hopefully). Also, I work at Academy Sports in Sherwood. And I enjoy long walks on the beach and action flicks. hahaha
