Hate is strong for some when the team they support can't equate the success of a rival, celebrating our team is painful for them and it becomes less a rivalry and more an obsession. Essentially, your left with resting on your laurels and pointing to the past for relevance. Thus the talk of the arrogance of the fans and bad wishes towards a group of hs kids. . LOL. On to things that matter, what are your thoughts on who pitches the first game, CB? You guys have it all wrong. I dont hate calallen. I'm just not a fan. I dont "rest on GP's laurels". I've only lived here since 2003. I just support my son & his school. I also don't care much for Rockport, although I work here, or Ingleside. These feeling have come about due to a few fans from those teams who are disrespectful towards their opponents. If anybody wants specifics PM me. I'll fill you in. And while you calallan baseball fans probably have a right to be "arrogant" as your baseball team is quite good, you don't help yourselves by thumping your chests quite so much, as evidenced by the very fisrt post in this thread. Now, for the young men playing, and the coaching staff, congratulations on a fine season. You guys have obviously worked hard to reach the state tournament, and while I'm not now, nor will ever be a calallen "fan" I do wish you good luck in your quest for a state title. Even if it means I'll have to put up with a load of grief on this board! Ok, I'm lost. Please explain how the first post on this thread is arrogant? Thanks.

I think Mando will pitch game 1. Why change what has been working for you? Also, you can always bring Scott or Wyatt in for a few innings if needed. The past years we've always seemed to have a distinction between our #1 and #2 pitchers. Chapman's always sent out the #1 in the semifinal game. This year it seems like there is no true #1, more like 1A and 1B. I would throw Wyatt in game 1 and let Mando keep hitters off balanced in the championship (God willing we get there). This one-two punch is a lot like the '05 team with Duke and Nance. Well said - and welcome to the forums MG

I'm reminded of the Astros saving a certain pitcher for a certain game 7... You have to get to game 7 or in this case the championship game first.. Go with Math

Chap knows his team better than I ever will, so I support what ever decision he makes regarding who pitches.

I found this on the UIL Website, because some of the pairings did not make sense...now they do...
Pairings for the Tournament The UIL athletic staff will be at the office Sunday morning, prior to the tournament, (512/471-5883). Pairings will not be released until 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. This information will be given to the wire services. Teams will be placed in the bracket according to their win/loss record. The two best records will be placed in opposite halves and the third best record will be placed up or down as determined by a coin flip. The UIL staff will be calling the coach on Sunday morning with pairings and tournament information. Be sure and fill out the team information form on the UIL website. The coach’s home and/or cell number from the team information form will be used to contact the coach.

I love to watch High School Baseball, but I was never any good at playing the game.

You say that now, but if they lose you will be just like the rest of us, shoulda woulda coulda I can't speak for others on here, but this fan will not being saying that. Wyatt and Mando have pitched lights out in the playoffs and if we lose, it will be just one of those things that make baseball the game it is. Altough on paper you can suggest a baseball game is going to be a mismatch, more that often than in any other sport, a team can just have the breaks go their way and win one they might not have on any other day. If it happends Thursday and Friday, it's it is what it is- a loss.

Because CF4E had the audacity to mention that we were the #1 seed in the tourney. Obviously, this was a complete lack of attention to decorum for CF4E and I'm sure he feels awful about it...
