Title: NEA Baseball
Post by: OB11 on March 02, 2017, 10:48:39 am
There is a lot of good baseball in this part of the state.  Feel free to discuss any scores, teams, topics throughout the season with teams from NEA here.

It does seem that there are pockets of really strong baseball throughout the state. NEA definitely can hold their own in 6A and 5A. On down it gets a little more sporadic, but often there will be good cycles for schools at the smaller levels.

I'm interested to see who steps up this year in the smaller divisions.

I'd counter that with Armorel.  They have been a dominant 1A team for a while.

Extremely good point, Coach Brown does a great job down there.

Who do you have as the best team in the six classifications from this area? I don't really have a great feel on the teams this year.

Depends on what your definition of NEA is??? In 6A, Searcy would join Jonesboro as the top two, followed by Marion and WM. In 5A, GCT, VV, Wynne, or Nettleton usually play pretty evenly, usually a dog fight. In 4A, Gosnell, Poky, Trumann. In 3A, Manila, WR, Newport. I really don't have any idea on 2A or 1A, except agreeing that Armorel is always there in 1A, it seems.

From recent history in 2A, it would be teams like McCrrory (if you consider that NEA), BIC, EPC. 1A would Armorel is cream of the crop around here, Bay is pretty good themselves.

I'd throw Rivercrest in on the 3A because they've won that conference quite a few times in the past 5-6 years, maybe every year. I'd definitely put Riverside in there too. They may be the best of the bunch in NEA 3A.

I've got no complaints on those additions, I don't see much of the 3A and lower schools play, so it looks like good competition.

Thank you.  He did do well tonight.  Which one was mine?  All of them did well and the hitting was better overall.  I hate cold baseball and that was cooler than I like.  Second game was getting colder.  I like what Coach Dobson is doing with the players.  He is really trying to spread them out with play time between VR and JV.  All the kids need play time early in season for sure.

That was my thought also, so im not really sure why we are going 3hrs to go play, I know in regionals you may have to travel for hrs-, state also.

Well, those three sophomores that pitched aren't equal in talent, I'll just leave it at that. I understand the team concept, doesn't mean some aren't counted on more than others for production. Oh, 89 on the gun Friday.

Yes PJ has an arm. He also comes from a great family.   PJ and these other boys have been playing together for many years from LL type to travel ball.  It is fun to see these young men grow up and play against one another in high school.  There is a slight chance you may see PJ and the others against one another this coming Friday at Nettleton.  Just not sure since JHS has a game Tuesday then Friday and then play Christian Brothers that next Tuesday.  We do have plenty of pitching so not sure what they will do since pitch count and days of rest off the mound are a high priority.

You'll probably see the JHS/Nettleton game moved from Friday. Jonesboro drew the 3:30 time slot for their championship finals, so I expect them to move this game up, or back.

Why would anyone make them play a game so early on a weekday when it will be hard for many to attend 3 plus hours from home?  I expect many people on the Jonesboro side to miss work and many students to miss school.

Yeah, that's the AAA, although in their defense, they do have to rotate the classifications, and when they play. I'm sure a ticket stub returned on Monday will result in an excused absence, it has in the past.

I agree.  Depends on how they set up their rotation.  We have plenty to place on the mound.  When our hitting and pitching meet up, and it will, we will compete with anyone.

And you spelled the kids name correctly for Jonesboro.  Just remember "SEVEN" spelled backward.  Which is part of the reason he has 77 on his back.

Marion will only have two games conference games that are actual 7 inning double headers that both count towards conference record. I believe the reasoning is that the season length will not allow a home-home series with every conference opponent before tournament time. I'll have to get back with you on that, I may be wrong.

On a side note, I believe everyone in the conference plays double headers, but the 2nd game is usually a 5 inning JV game.

Yeah, long time 6A baseball fan, I just noticed that some of the games were DH's and some weren't. We did the home and home the last two years, I guess with 18 conference games it was a squeeze. Actually, the Jonesboro schedule show Marion and Jonesboro playing a home and home, four days apart.

Ricepig,

You got on here before I did so I will change mine and not repeat.  Not really a weird game to me.  I hope PJ is ok.  The first time he reached up and grabbed his arm I would have taken him out.  No win or loss is worth a hurt player and I felt he was feeling something.

Most times when you have a 5-0 lead, you have more than 1 hit, or at least at this level of ball. It was a game you felt that Jonesboro was in control, but yet, they weren't.

First four innings we were in control.  The next two were good but some bad luck.  The last one went well but the rain didn't help.  And I have to say that ump had the tightest strike zone of any I have seen lately.

Well, if the FC catcher could catch the pitch, it was a strike last night, lol. I thought it was a fair strike zone, but I didn't have a vested interest in it.

I won't complain just saying the zone was tight.  When PJ first went out first inning I was getting a little worried.  Last night I felt sorry for FC.  I think the umps extended their zones to speed game towards the end.

Being early in the season this will be a test on any high school team.  My schedule may not be modified but I see Wednesday being V,V then Thursday in Blytheville a V only game then Friday V,JV.   I may not be up to date on them but thought Thursday was a single V game out of town?  Early and cold is not good for baseball but it is what it is.

Blytheville is a "conference" game and doesn't show up again on the schedule, so I assumed it was a conference DH. I could be wrong.

Their lefty pitcher in the first game is a Alabama signee, I believe. I didn't realize they were ranked so high pre-season, fwiw.

They are a good team and usually are.  No matter what the ranking have down they are words and anything can happen during a game.  In the first game when the first batter came up and hit that nice single I got a little worried.  They did have I believe 5 hits and one walk and could only get 2 runs out of it.  Christian Brothers is a solid team but JHS has some talent when the team plays like a team.  Now again both sides had far to many errors.  Those were two important games to win in my opinion.  It proves we can compete with good teams.

Yeah, it wasn't a well played game, JHS had an error which allowed one unearned one, and ran themselves out of a couple of potential other runs. Jonesboro needs to get their bats going, there's a reason to the musical chairs on several positions. I realize the first guy was going to be hard to get hits off, but his relief threw 75-78, BP speed.

Goodpasture beat Springdale Har-Ber yesterday 10-8, led 8-0 at one point. They are a good team, but the box score I saw had Jonesboro with 6 errors and only 5 hits. As to the pitching at the end, I remember a trip to PC and winning 21-10 or so on the last day. I think we trailed 10-3 at one time in that game.

I'm getting a little concerned about our "conference" play. I wonder if we will see enough good teams to be ready for the state tournament. The old conference with Cabot, NLR, Central, Searcy, and MH meant you were going to see a quality arm almost every game. I hope we are prepared for Sheridan, Greenwood, Benton, etc.....

I'm getting a little concerned about our "conference" play. I wonder if we will see enough good teams to be ready for the state tournament. The old conference with Cabot, NLR, Central, Searcy, and MH meant you were going to see a quality arm almost every game. I hope we are prepared for Sheridan, Greenwood, Benton, etc.....

That is definitely a concern but I think with being the defending state champs you get a lot of teams best looks. 

On the other hand, a lot of the 5A teams in conference are trying to beat each other which means they are saving their best arms for the 5A conference games. Playing those 7A schools every year didn't hurt anything at all when it came to state tournament time.

I feel we have good reason to be concerned.  I have always said play up when you can.  I am not saying some lower classification are not competition but I always want the best on the mound on the other side no matter who we play.  And as some mention some of the lower classification schools will play more to win those same class games.  I told them earlier in the year I wanted to play some 7A school or same classifications even if we travel.  No disrespect meant but that one game when we played in the far East side of the state was about a waste of time for both teams.  Now Christian Brothers double header was big as well as at least three teams we played that went to Florida.  Always play up when you can.

Brookland  wasn't patient at the plate and everything they hit hard was right at someone, except a nice running catch in deep right center that their right fielder made a running catch just in front of the fence.
I don't remember Rivercrest getting the ball out of the infield.
Brookland pitcher had 63-pitches in complete game

Baseball is funny like that sometimes. I've seen pitchers throw no-hitter's and still lose. And teams hit line drives all game and the other team bloops a few hits and wins. Cruel game that way.

Sheridan has a good team.  Yes it would have been good to go against them in the final game but it is always fun to play VV.  We have the pitching and the bats to compete with many good teams.  Our issue, and I do feel it will be addressed, are the errors in the field.  Way to many errors in most of the games we have played.  We always need to stay sharp in all areas but errors lose games.  I was watching another game at the time and only glancing over at the Sheridan/VV game.  It looked like Sheridan may have had a few to many that game.  Either way VV does have some talent and should get even better over the next few years.

Clean play was probably the top reason Jonesboro won the title last year. Free bases and extra outs will make any good team, an average one.

I find the call in the 3rd inning very questionable.  Those two runners should have had to go back to 1st and 2nd.  I would like to understand this better.  If Blue behind the plate calls a ball a dead ball (by call or walking on field) and has his hands in the air, how can the runner on 2nd be awarded 3rd and the runner on 1st be awarded 2nd because they fast walked to the bases during that dead ball play?  He sent them back to the bases until the other coach argued and Blue quickly changed his mind and allowed them the bases.  Am I missing something?

I do give credit to Marion for stepping up with a challenge.  I also feel good about Jonesboro finishing a testing game like this.

I also say Jonesboro nor any team can expect to win many games with only 5 hits in 8 1/3 innings.

Yeah, the home plate ump completely blew that situation. When you come out on the field to ask for help from the other ump, time has been called, whether you verbally said it or not. The hitting has been sporadic at times this year, but a win beats the alternative.

There was no "dead ball" call from the umpire. The kid at the plate took off to first, like he got hit in the foot by the pitch. The umpire said the ball didn't hit him. But by that time, the runners on 1st and 2nd already jogged to the next base. That's when the umpire brought the batter back to the box. If there was no dead ball call, you can't make the runners go back. Jonesboro should have thrown one of them out when they realized there was no dead ball call. Now, the umpire did call time, but that was after the runners had already advanced and the batter was back in the box.

That is the best way I can explain it. Not saying I agree one way or the other. It was just a weird situation.

Yeah, but it cost our starting pitcher about 15 additional pitches, which put him out after the 6th inning. I agree, Jonesboro should have thrown the ball to third base and tagged out the guy walking to the base. The ump should have been verbal with his call and said, "no, you're right here" instead of letting the batter and the runners walk to the next base. Instead, he just walked out on the field, which should have stopped the play.

I have slept on it so I don't care anymore.  Maybe our team learned something from it though.  I didn't.  To have 9K but walk 3 and hit 2 was not normal in the least for that pitcher.  Bottom line is it will make him stronger.  Just glad JHS came through in the end.

He threw a lot of pitches Friday. Not sure three days rest is enough. Marion has decent arms behind him so we'll see what they do. Marion is extremely young and only starts 1 or 2 seniors most games. Hopefully we'll see them peak at the right time and have another great game on Tuesday

The soft throwing pitcher gave them fits all game. Could be something worth noting going forward for other teams. Jonesboro has Marion again on Tuesday at their place. It'll be interesting to see what Marion decides to do on the mound.

I hope they throw him again.  I feel a different outcome with us having a few more runs.  Nothing against the Marion pitcher.  Just feel seeing it twice in a short time is better for the hitters.

I doubt he throws again since he pitched over 100+ on Friday. Not enough time for a high school kid to fully recover, in my opinion.

Jonesboro had a few around 300 pitches for the year before last weeks added throws.  I thought that seemed somewhat high until I looked at other teams.  Was not Marion pitcher but another team.

Two tournaments in which you play every game will add up, along with the regular season. Jonesboro is in much better shape than previous years, I remember years where they struggled to get an out, outside of their conference starters.

I believe JHS has a decent number of productive pitchers.  A decent runs against number shows that.  And when you factor in the errors in the field it looks even better.  Even though we have struggled at the bat at times our runs for is competitive to most.  JHS has tools and when they fall in place they can compete with anyone 7A down in Arkansas.

The 6A conference tournament and the state tournament will decide the productivity of both the pitching and hitting, as it should.

Big conference game for both teams , season is winding down as the standings are tightening.
T Jones vs Z Biggers both JR's with low ERA's should be a good matchup. Brookland is looking to bounce back from a tough weekend at Hollister MO.

It was unbelievable.  Can't say I have seen a 7 error game in a while.  But I give JHS a lot of credit for not throwing in the towel and stepped back in to compete the last few innings.  The I think 3 errors WM had in the last inning helped.

T-Bone this was a good game , Brookland left the bases loaded in the bottom of the 7th.
Brookland's pitcher led off the bottom of the 7th with a chopper down third base side, a walk and infield hit pushed a run across. A strike out, another walk loaded the bases with 1 out.
Biggers came back with a swinging strikeout and a groundout to ss that ended the game.

Brookland at Valley View today.

Maybe but I would rather win by one every day than lose by one any day.  Starter had one hit against by GCT with 7K.  Closer finished well too.  The kicker was the 8 JHS left on base.  I believe only 1 error today but not sure.  When it all clicks together we will see far more points.

Yes, and really the only two teams in the conference that can make any postseason noise.

Is Manila and Walnut Ridge playing first round of the conference tournament? Does that mean one of these team's season is done after this game?

I figured so. BK and Harding have ran that conference for a while. Other than those 2, it is usually pretty weak.

Weather permitting, we will face a good pitcher tomorrow in Corning's ace. Lions look to be peaking at the right time. In last 12 innings to West Memphis and Walnut Ridge, 2 of our 4 in the rotation have allowed 2 hits with 21 Ks. While outscoring those 2 16-0.

I wasn't there, I just caught the final score. I think they lead 3-2 in the third or fourth. I don't put much into scores from different games, each game is a new and different one, haha.

The game Saturday is the one that matters.........I had a long discussion with a 6A coach, it's safe to say that no one likes this set-up, those at the top, or those at the bottom.

What game Saturday?  Jonesboro plays Hall tomorrow (Thursday) at Jonesboro at 7:30 p.m.  Trying to beat the rain with the only day that even seems possible and that is not certain with all the rain in the forecast.

For some odd reason I feel at times that Jonesboro plays to the competition.  Play decent with decent teams and play down to less decent teams.  Not sure I understand why.

As for this game if I remember correctly the first game was close starting with an error on a pop fly where pitcher/catcher miscommunicated and the ball dropped.  What usually happens with an error on any team?  The team pays the price.  The player got on with an error and allowed another at bat as well in the inning.  With a couple hits.  And our bats were not dead but not on fire.  We left some on base when we needed to get them in.  But a W is a W and far better than a loss or tie.

Yep...I just know the coach from Marion was not real happy with where they were seeded. When you're dealing with a subjective vote for seedings I don't think many people will be happy on a consistent basis.

I agree 100 percent.  It is the worst way to seed.  Voting is nuts.  Some way your season should be more important than just allowing people to vote.

I was speaking of the WM/Marion tournament game which was originally scheduled for Saturday. As far as rain, it's spring time in Arkansas, this happens every year and it's effect on regional and state tournaments.

Lol, the coaches aren't ever happy after these meetings. Usually it's over All-Star nominations, All-State, or invites to XI combine. This just adds one more layer. What was ridiculous was the late scheduling of some conference games, the fact that the conference schedule as a whole came out late, causing schools to scramble to find good non-conference games, and that it wasn't a true round robin.

Post by: OB11 on April 26, 2017, 01:24:54 pm
The fact that there were conference games scheduled for after the meeting (or the meeting being scheduled before all conference games were played) was egregious. Especially 6A vs. 6A games. I could maybe understand 6A vs. 5A games being played after the meeting but not same classification games.

Exactly. Marion could have been playing at home instead of on the road. Im sure there were other instances where this was the case too. This game on Saturday is going to end someone's season, though. Doesn't make any sense to me.

No it won't, but lose again next Tuesday and your season will be over.

That is the only silver lining to this whole thing is that you have to lose twice before you're done.

I guess they were trying to build some "rivalry" into the late games, but obviously a huge mistake on someone's part. What they need to do is find two 5A schools to move up, and let MH and Siloam Springs play in the 5A. If you throw out the trip to MH, the other sports aren't overly long for the East teams.

I am perfectly fine with the rivalry games being played late. But somewhere along the line someone had to have realized there could be seeding implications coming from those games.
