[PD Fan]

With so many teams tied for second in the BRD it surprises this PD Fan that only three of those teams players are getting talked about. What's up with York, Grafton and Smithfield, no other players beside Lamb and Hornsby? What about Evans, Hall, Yeo, Caton, Irvine, Saxon, Kelley, Pelchy, Bayse, Wagner the list can go on. I see these names in the paper all the time but no mention here. Let's not forget about those kids from Lafayette-Kirby, Rubino, Barnhardt, and from Jamestown-Kruezter, Schultz, Knetner, etc, etc. There seems to be a lot of players hitting well but playing on a sub-par team not getting noticed. The same can be said for the PD as well. I guess you have to play on a winner before you get noticed, if that's the case then a bunch of players will be missing out on playing college ball all because of what a select few have to say. Just like MLB all-stars, if the fans stopped and looked at who's doing what or not that list might be different. But then again you wants to go watch a game full of good players verses just a bunch of names?

[BRDFANN]

THere is also utility player category. Any noms for that one?

[longfellow]

all that matters is that davey everhart from tabb will be MVP

[PACKER BACKER]

I think one player that has been overlooked this season, who is having a great year so far is Junior Catcher Mike Costello from Smithfield. With Dustin Hornsby relegated to DH and playing some 3rd, Mike has done an outstanding job behind the plate defensively and offensively he's tagging it at a rate of around .450 or .470 at last check.
I don't think any All district list would be complete without mentioning Jake Evans at the Pitcher position. I don't think many would argue with that either....
Jordan Eason at 1st for the Pack has a done an outstanding job this year as well.
Hornsby for DH.
CJ Caton has been solid this year, as in past years.
Cole Irvine at 2nd - great defensively, solid bat.

Tabb, I expect, will have the most number of 1st team selections - reference their record.

I'm just glad I'm not the one that has to put out the "FINAL" list. It'll be tough to hand out awards this year because there are so many deserving young men this year in the BRD.

Just as I side note - didn't I tell everyone that Tabb wouldn't "run" the table in the District this year - BUT they would be in the drivers seat because Poq, Smi, Graf and York would beat up on each other? I'll take my bow now - LOL!

[:tiki:20]

I definitly agree. Tabb needs practice

[yorkathlete9]

can someone tell me how many IF,OF, and P are picked for first team?

[PACKER BACKER]

Tabb has lost one upset game. How is that not running the table?
tiki - I'm guessing that you don't understand the term "Running the Table" - that means winning ALL of your games - district contests in this case. I think that nearly everyone on here will agree with that definition. You may "Run the Table" from here on out - but Tabb did NOT "Run the Table" in BRD play.

Upset?
I've never lost a game that I didn't feel "upset" about. Menchville won 25 straight last year before they were "upset"....I don't buy the "Upset" word. You lost to a very good team and there's still quality teams left on your schedule to worry about.

[yorkathlete9]

ya running the table is winning every game on your schedule, and poq beating them is not an upset, they are a good team.

[:tiki:20]

I never said that Tabb wasn't a good team....in fact Tabb is having a tremendous season this year and if you would get head out of your a$$ and RE-READ my post, I also stated that it stands to reason that Tabb would have the most number of All District selections.....so why the freaking beef with me?
I'm not sure what's going on with tiki and that post.....all I did was respond to his "Running the Table" comment and then he edits it after my comments....it wasn't meant to be a slam on him - I seriously thought that he didn't understand the concept of "Running the Table", I was offering a bit of help.....sorry if anyone got offended, that wasn't my intention at all - too many self inflated egos on here....no need to take things so personally. Don't hate me because I was correct in my prediction from 6 weeks ago....you should bow your head to my greatness!!! LOL! Or actually "RUN THE FREAKING TABLE" so I couldn't get on here and tell you "I told you so!"

Let's get on topic guys. All-Star team. So there have been plenty of good names thrown out. It's time to start formulating your "opinion" on who fits where. Let's say there can be two players at each position (outfield as a whole gets six, 2+2+2=6) and pitchers get three. So what are yalls rosters?

If you can't get on here and enjoy yourself then why bother? There is no malice intended in any of my posts. If you feel like there is - tough - get over it - you know where to find me if you care to discuss it outside of this forum. "Imparting my wisdom" was a tongue in cheek joke that was intended for one person - I have already explained that once and won't go through that silly gyration again. I also haven't said anything truly negative about any one team and especially not about any one player. Although come to think about it, I threw a couple zingers at a few Tabb FB players over comments about "The TD" that wasn't. But that was early on....I'm trying be a better person. Don't be hating on me - I gave Tabb props all day today - even if they continue to throw at Dustin - but that's an entirely different thread for us to discuss....I guess if the Pinder Boys have another big game against Tabb they'll get to wear a few bruises also? But I digress and that's not part of the better, fresher, new Wayne....no more stones - throw all you want, I'm done with it on the public forum. E-mail me about - I'll gladly discuss things with you that way. Actually, there was a topic about fan base / support / best fans in the BRD - something like that and I actually voted for Tab - you guys have awesome fans and have for years....so slow down take a deep breath - Wayne isn't here to cause any hate! K?
Now back to topic!:focus:

I've only seen a handful of games this year so for me to "pick" who belongs where probably wouldn't be warmly received, so I'll defer my picks to the young men who have actually played against each other all year. Peer picks mean more for the individuals anyway. Let the ball players from each team tell us who they feel is most deserving. Looks like it was heading that way already - so carry on!

Yo. Fred Porter should be the best player in the BRD. He'll be back soon ya know. He might not be eligible for play by the vhsl. let's all keep our fingers crossed that he is.

i agree with ya. its gonna b very intresting. def if grafton beats york and if smithfield beats poq. than tuesday smithfield and grafton will play for that number 2 spot. its crazy with only 2 games left any of these 4 teams could finish in 2nd. and that number 2 spot is crucial, because any of the teams in the district could easily win the tournament so all 4 of these teams want to make sure they have that automatic bid to regionals

[baseball]

Amen! Since you brought it up and no one seems to want to talk about an all-star team, how do yall think the season will unwind? Where will Grafton, Poquoson, York, and Smithfield be going into the district tournament? And who will take that 6th slot? Will Jamestown's bats stay hot? Will Layfayette turn it into 5th gear? Or will New Kent take us all by suprise?

[anoguy]

I've got to go with Poquoson taking home second this year. With a game Friday against Smithfield, and the elder Crockett pitching, Poquoson is likely to win. After that, it's Bruton, which isn't likely to be too difficult.

[doubleplay09]

eathier way york needs to win out and get help although they were hot early in the season they have been struggling a bit on the defenseive side of the field in the second half... mccarthy's injury has had a big impact on the team...

[PACKER BACKER]

Just wondering - how did McCarthy hurt his back? Will he back in time to play Legion ball this summer?

[doubleplay09]

pitching during the tabb game he came out and has not stepped on the field sense! the doc said he had a pulled vertabrate and would be out for atlest a month.... as far as legion i have not the slightest clue we will see how it unwinds hopefully it all works out for the kid he has great command on the hill

[PD Fan]

That's pretty sad that they did so well and because of one kid they fall apart. I thought this was a team sport? The rest of the guys should have just picked it up. I wish them the best. Will they make the playoffs?

[doubleplay09]

I was not saying the team fell apart but it did put some hurt on the arms and shook things up on the defenseive side of the ball i am sure york is still working hard and doing the best they can sure they can still pull out the second spot just everything has to go there way at this point they play grafton today a 4 30 should be a good game hope york pulls it out

[York Fan]

That's pretty sad that they did so well and because of one kid they fall apart. I thought this was a team sport? The rest of the guys should have just picked it up. I wish them the best. Will they make the playoffs?

York has not fallen apart! ANd the defense has been great! York had a bad game against Poquoson, not because of defense it was because York could not hit the ball to save their lives. Worst hitting game I have ever seen from York. BUT don't count them out against Grafton today. We have several guys that have to be batting over 350. We will see today. It is very sad Mccarthy is gone, but we have managed to win a few games since that day. Hall has just as much potential as any other pitcher out there.

Baseball is a team sport but if any team loses a talented player like McCarthy it is going to hurt some. York has a very good team, they just need more consistency. When you have a younger team like York, the consistency can be up and down. On any given day they can beat any team in the district.

Packerbacker has no idea what he is talking about
tiki 20 said he thinks tabb is NOT running the table and as for Poq being a better team than Tabb
i dont think so
Tabb has alot of talent and so does Poq but in the case of team talent, tabb definatly overpowers Poq.
Everyone thinks Tabb is lucky well obviously its more than luck being that the same team went undefeted at the JV level and won deistricts as middle schoolers
but youre right...
its just luck

[baseball]

Back to the all-star team. Geez, I leave you guys alone for two seconds and you start to bicker and argue. So we've seen a couple different all-star teams drafted by players and fans. Some of the players are on some teams and not on others, while most of the players seem to be consistently on everyone's list. Would you say the first team all district is easily predictable this year? Or will there be some suprises?

[baseball]

Another question to hopefully spark some response ('cause this forum seems to be pretty dead lately)... Would this predicted BRD All-Star Team be able to beat the PD All-Star Team if a game were played. This is probably hard to give an answer to seeing how the PD can't come up with a consistent list.

[doubleplay09]

depending on the list for the brd looks strong but if played a 3 game series i belive pd would take it to much depth and to much fire power in the offense and pitching i deep

i have herd alot of differnt chioces

the consistent ones are outfield, pitcher, ss,

zingraf lamb and yeo seem to be the choice for 1st team outfield

lamb and pelchy which one is 1st and 2nd

for short stop i see alot of McCONNEL and HALL (which one will be 1st and 2nd)

Hall shows alot of petional and has made some pretty tough plays this year but on the flip side his bat has not been as hot as last year although he has put the ball in play he has not got them to fall quite yet hopefully it comes around for him in post season

mcconnel is older and stronger and hits the ball well dose he have enough to bring it home... bat has been decent if not outstanding.....who wins it?

[GoGetta]

Nichol from tabb has been hitting the ball really well recently. i think he plays first base and outfield. great utility man for the all star team and possibly even outfield.

I agree a lot talent throughout the BRD! I am sure there are names that have not even come up that deserve to be recognized.

[PD-Father]

All names being thrown out there are good ball players. I have been to a lot of the BRD games. My question is for pitcher? Who among these names have the best record? I would say that pitcher should get best pitcher. I think Brown (T) is undefeated? I could be wrong on that. Guy just took the loss against New Kent although he is one of the best placement pitchers I have seen. I have watched New Kent play a few times and that team is very underestimated!! Same with Jamestown. New Kent has beat our #1 in the district and Grafton. Jamestown has beat several top spots also.

[Ballplayer]

Cody Brown from Tabb is 8-0

[BRDFANN.]

HMM... why would a "PD father" be sooo interested in BRD baseball. You have been to a few New Kent games? Why?

Hahaha our- your...close enough left the 'Y' out ..sorryI am interested in this message board....not that I owe u an explanation but I have some very close friends that play in the BRD district as well as my son who plays in the PD district. Last I checked the board was open to all!! I haven't offended anyone... have I? Just giving my opinions on pitching and what I have seen.

[baseball]

Thanks for your interest in the BRD PDFather, but I will have to disagree with you. Although a pitcher's record is nice to look at when determining best pitcher, it is not the only thing to look at. One team may choose to throw one pitcher in a critical game rather than another. It also depends on how your team does batting and fielding that day. One game the team may play flawless for the pitcher while they may commit a few errors for another pitcher. In essense, you cannot look at the pitching record as the only source of who is the best. If it were my opinion, I would say Kyle Pelchy is the best in the district and he does not have the best record at all.

[Ballplayer]

Brown has outpitched Pelchy both times Tabb and Grafton have played.

[baseball]

I would like to emphasize the fact that it is not the pitcher who wins the ball game. The most important part of winning ball games is hitting. If your team is not hitting then there is no way you could win. If your team is smashing the ball, then you will most likely come out on top. Whether or not Cody Brown got the win and Pelchy did not both times does not prove he is the better pitcher. Tabb's batters out hit Grafton's. Sure the pitching helped, but i really don't see it affecting the game like you presume it does. And thanks again for your concerns BRDFather.

[York Fan]

Your right it is not the pitcher that wins but it is the pitcher who leads. I think best pitcher should go to either Guy, Brown, or Lamb! Surely the records will be looked at when voting but it is not everything.

[baseball]

Baseball use to be a pitcher's game way back then, but now it's all about the hitting. If a pitcher fails on the mound he is replaced with a relief pitcher. If a team is failing at the plate, you cannot replace the team. I agree record will be used in deciding the best pitcher in the district, but i do not think it should be used as the number one reason why a pitcher is selected. I still believe Pelchy is the best followed by Gibson from Bruton and then Lamb.

[Ballplayer]

Dear Baseball


So are you saying that Pelchy is a better pitcher than Brown because Pelchy plays on a worse team?

I think Grafton is a pretty good team, and from the Grafton website they have supported Pelchy pretty well when he has pitched.

Who has Pelchy pitched against? How many earned runs has he given up? Who did he lose against and who did he beat?

Brown has wins against Smithfield, Poquoson, Jameston, Grafton, Lafayette...all pretty good teams and I'm sure his era in those games is under two. Sure, it helps that Tabb plays a good defense and hits the ball, but if you look at the data, Brown has proven he is one of the top pitchers this year in the BRD.

Believe me, I'm not saying Pelchy is not a good pitcher, obviously he his. But his "body of work" so far this year does not compare to Brown's. I believe it does not compare to Chad Guy, Will Lamb, Adam Crockett & Jacob Evans either.

[leaveitonthefield1011]

brown is a good pitcher. one of the best in the district. but people saying that brown outpitched pelchy in both those games i have to disagree with. the first game they came both came in relief and pitched good. than the second game pelchy pitched a heck of a game but we had too many errors to overcome. he only gave up 2 earned runs. and brown also pitched a **** of a game shuttin down graftons bats. so this debate could go on and on, because they are both really good pitchers. i think they are 1 and 2 with either of them being 1. with lamb being number 3. and for people who dont even consider pelchy as top 3 like i have seen in some peoples post look at the york game for proof that he should be atleast in the top 3. he came one out away from throwing a no hitter against one of the best teams in the district. but also i wanna say there are many great pitchers in the district. i cant wait for the tournament it has the make up for alot of great and exciting games.

[baseball]

Ballplayer (Cody Brown), Thank you for your letter. I would like you to know that i hold no allegiance to any particular team, so do not take my words as biased remarks or with any sort of offense. Cody, you are a good pitcher. You are not the best. Sorry. You play on a good team. That's why your era is low and your win column is up. Good luck in post season play though.

[Ballplayer]

I am not Cody Brown.

I wish I were, but alas....


but back to the point...I never said Cody Brown was the best pitcher in the BRD.

PDDad ? asked about his record...i answered...Baseball said Kyle Pelchy was the best pitcher...my point is that Brown has had a better year so far than Pelchy.

There are several good pitchers this year in the BRD....we can have our opinions on what defines the "best"...wins...losses...ERA..team..hits...strikeouts.

The high school season (18 games) is pretty short...but whether you like Brown. Pelchy, Lamb, or whomever...8-0 at this point is pretty good...and not too many pitchers in the state reach that mark. It may not be best measure of "best"....but I can guarantee you that Pelchy would like to be 8-0.

[Ballplayer]

And I'm sure Brown would tell you that the main reason he has a good record is because of how well Tabb has been playing...

[Ballplayer]

I am not Cody Brown.

I wish I were, but alas....


One final thought....I wish I could be Pelchy, or Guy or Lamb or Evans or Gibson or Crockett (either one), or somebody still getting a chance to play the great game of baseball....I would much rather be a doer instead of a typer.....

[doubleplay09]

i agree with baseball a pitcher's record can not determine how good a pitcher really is i have seen games where the pitcher has pitched well enough to win the game but has wound up loseing big. Sometimes the newspaper can be deciving when it comes to the pitcher!! just because beside his name it has an LP or a WP dose not mean one is better than the other this is not golf it is a team sport and you can not blame anyone for any ONE thing... to win ball games your pitcher needs to get ground balls and pop flys also known as "easy outs" and well if you defense fails to come up with the easy plays you loose the ball game you get 21 out on offense and if the team cannot get any on base you loose the game. no ONE person wins a game and no ONE person looses a game.. its a team effort on both sides of the ball you win and loose as a TEAM

Ok, this week is the last week yall can express your views on the allstar team before the coaches decide it for us. So some people think names have "flown under the radar"... so name some names that went under the radar so we can give credit where it's due. Then maybe we can create some allstar teams after all the names have been said.

that one good pitcher from bruton, fantastic

[York Fan]

regardless of who i am, though i am not the father, nor have any relation, morrison has done a great job. the only reason hes not talked about is because hes a transfer.
stop being ignorant

I agree that Morrison is a good pitcher! I am impressed with Smithfield this year. I think they will give Grafton a run for their money tom.

[GoGetta]

brdfan. i wasn't talking about you. the person i was talking about knows who they are and if you read the conversation above you would know who they were too.

There's my man Mike Costello going 3-3 yesterday against Poquoson. Another big game from the catcher that nobody knows about......you have to seriously consider him for an All District spot. All of the talk about the Pitchers in the BRD, how can you NOT talk about Patrick Morrison and Jacob Evans? Pelchy, Brown, Guy, Crockett, Lamb......how in the he-ll do you decide? Coaches - good luck this week trying to sort this All District voting.......bet there's gonna be some interesting discussions!!!

Great job Packers - get it done tonight - stay focused. Grafton has been playing some really good ball as of late. Should be a tremendous battle!

Congrats to Steve Douglas on his BIG hit yesterday...nice shot...give us some more!

I wonder how the coaches will determine the "best" in the BRD this Sunday.. Obviously you should take batting average and obp and stats like that into account, but some coaches may lie about them and not every scorekeeper counts a hit the same as another scorekeeper. I'm guessing it is how much your coach talks you up at the meeting. Either way I see a lot of tuff decisions for these coaches, but I bet it's like that every year so I'm sure their use to it by now.

tabb16, gotta agree with you....it's gonna be a tough one this Sunday.
I know some people in the PD that think Menchville cooks the books every year. I'm sure that SOME of that goes on, but I don't believe that it's that wide spread. From what I've seen, I believe we have some very respectable and honorable coaches in the BRD. As with any All Star or All District selections, politics will come into play. Nature of the beast.
I've been following the BRD for many years now and I think that this year there is more overall talent in the district, more so than in previous years. I think it was easy to pick out the premier players a few years back. This year we have seen so many really good sticks, pitchers & defense. I think the general pool of players is much better. There weren't too many blowouts this year. For the most part all of the teams were competitive.
I'll betcha that when the list comes out there won't be any REAL arguments about who got placed where (1st or 2nd team that is). I would love to see the 1st team play a double header against the 2nd team - I'd be willing to bet that it would be one he-ll of a game!

[BRDFANN]

I agree 100% Packer Backer! A lot of talent this year. I would go as to far as saying whomever the honorable mentions are could take on the 1rst team. Been an exciting year. I do think that the coaches need to so call sell their kids with praise...but most of all STATS speak louder than words. If you have two kids that plays 1rst base about the same defensively, they need to look at his hitting stats. Just an example. Another thing, I do not think a scorekeeper can fudge but so much.....there is always the other teams score book. THere is always ways of checking that number. Not to mention you have the parents probably going home and writing down their son's hit that game and can figure it out themselves :) I think people use that to make themselves feel better. I am sure I have done it sometime in the past. LOL

[baseball]

A lot of talent indeed. P- Pelchy, Lamb, Guy, Brown, Evans, Gibson, Crockett/ C- Charles, Everhart, Wagner, Costello/ 1b- Guy, Wilder, Saxon/ 2b- Pinder, Deyerle, Maldonado/ ss- Mcconnell, Hall, Bayse, Pinder/ 3b- Pelchy, Brown, Kelly/ of- Higgins, Zingraf, Nichol, Lamb, Yeo, Caton, Maldonado, Kirby

All those players are good. A lot of those names should be 1rst team or 2nd team

[doubleplay09]

agreed

[brdfan0001]

No I didn't. I already listed a lot of good pitchers.
no offense meant, but how the **** is crockett listed and not him

[baseball]

I simply listed names that I'm hearing a lot of. If you have a problem, then produce your own list. But do not bash mine. Thank you.

[straight skinny]

Crockett should be on everyones list for a spot the the All Dist team. He pitches ,hits and leads his team by example. He out pitched Lamb, Guy and Morrison and out hit all three. He also plays good defense when not pitching.

right... ;)

[BRDFANN]

Does anyone know when the BRD all districts will be announced? Did they vote already? Just wondering because PD came out with theirs.

How did Crockett out pitch and out hit Morrison? From what I remember Smithfield got the win against Poquoson when Crockett and Morrison faced off, and Morrison I believe had two hits off of Crockett, one of them being a double to the fence that was nearly a home run.

[Flying Fish]

yea, and guy... tough to out hit and pitch this kid

[baseball]

The voting was held today. It probably won't be published until after the district tournament, but I'm sure players have their ways of finding out who's on what team before then.

They are both good players. Crockett has had a better year at the plate and on the mound. Also, have you noticed that Smithfield and Grafton uses the terms "almost" and "nearly" in describing game loses and home runs. Losing is "losing" and doubles are "doubles'. There is no column for 'almost" or "nearly".

Ok, then, if you want to get down to specific words, overall fact is that Smithfield beat Poquoson both times when Crockett pitched (knocking him off the mound the first game) with Morrison getting the win the second game. Not taking anything away from Crockett because he has had a very good year on the mound too, but Morrison is 7-0 on the hill for the season.

[straight skinny]

Crockett gets to pitch against the tougher teams in the district. He is Poquoson's # 1, so he should pitch these games. However, taking him off 3rd base to pitch leaves a hole in your defense which has "glared" in a number of games. Poquoson has a young team who hasn't given a lot of run support to any of it's pitchers but Crockett has pitched very well except for one game this year. He stays within himself, doesn't try to over throw and is always composed on the mound. I can't say that about a lot of pitchers I have seen this year. York, Tabb and Smithfield have good pitchers but Crockett, to me, is the most reliable and consistent. The voting is in, so we will see

[baseball]

So who has the inside scoop on who got what? I've heard some rumors, but I'm taking them for just what they are... rumors.

[BRDFANN]

Same here baseball. Just rumors and speculations.

[doubleplay09]

[baseball]

Anxious to find out if you're on there Hall?

[baseball]

[GameEngineer]
