Guest Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 The poor kid has never thrown a varsity pitch until the state semifinals with the bases loaded. How about giving a kid a little experience instead of just throwing him to the wolves. This is a coaching mistake. And poor Ruby. He pitched in just about every game down the stretch. Of course he was going to show signs of fatigue and not be as effective. This is another coaching mistake. I don't know how you can argue otherwise. I hope Ruby's arm is okay and I hope VanWoert's psyche is okay, because Crooks messed with both. Oh and let me save you some time. CBM number 16 Rubys arm looked dead, too much use. Reid Van Wert was throwing harder. He got hosed on some good pitches..... Need to move SS to 2nd and 2nd to SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Everyone hopes Ruby's arm is Ok-is this for real? They lost to a better team who held their composure-not surprised by this at all-everyone was begging them at the beginning of the season get rid of that cockiness it will kill you-guess they were right! And I have no clue why M. T. did so much bs talking he didn't' prove to be much of anything in any sport this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 You continue to be a idiot = bash the coach. I will be a intelligent sports mind = blame the kids who choked. Apparently you don't understand the pressure a tenth grader pitching for the first time ever on varsity in a state semifinal would feel, nor do you understand that pitching several innings on very little rest makes it feel difficult to maintain a high level of performance. That puts you and Gary on the same level of baseball intelligence (negligible) and now I understand why you are defending him so adamantly. Crooks should not have put these kids in these situations and anybody who has played competitive sports would understand this point. Let me put it in terms you can understand. Ruby's shoulder probably felt the way your thumb feels after a 24 hour x box marathon. Your thumb gets pretty tired doesn't it? You aren't as good at the x box during that 24th hour as you were during the first couple of hours, right? Tired shoulder = tired thumb after 24 hours of x box.

Guest Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Crooks tried to squeak by without using Ruby in the semi but then it came to the point where he had to put him in just to get a chance at the state championship. I felt bad for Reid. He's a good pitcher but was put in a terribly tough spot. It certainly was hard to get the outside strike there for a while but that is NOT the reason they lost. A simple solution would be to go for the inside corner. But nevertheless I thought Crooks could have possibly put Barrett in there in that situation as opposed to Reid. Barrett was their number 3 all year, correct? Whatever the reason was, I think he should have put in someone with a little more experience then Reid in that situation. In the end though, Clarke stayed in the game and fought back when they were down whereas M-E got down on their selves and kind of took their self out of the game. On a different note, I thought Reid threw the hardest out of any of the M-E pitchers except maybe Barbarino in the first two innings. Rubys' arm is dying and he needs to rest it, honestly for at least month. He has pitched way too much these past two years and he is losing velocity. I saw him pitch last year and this year and and I truly believe he was throwing harder last year. Crooks needs to be careful with him next year as do Rubys summer coaches this year because he could get hurt. I played with some guys in college that pitched around the same amount of innings Ruby has and 90% of them had Tommy John Surgery or other arm problems. He is very talented and I would hate to see it go to waste because he was over used in high school. Who is to blame here? The coaches for some decision making and letting their team get down like they did. And the players for getting down and failing to stay aggressive and fight back (with the exception of a few). In addition there were some boneheaded plays by some players that did not help either. Plus both coaches and players let the umpires get in their head, and when that happens you will almost never win. So in conclusion, who is to blame? Everyone.

TOO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO PUT BLAME IN THE WRONG PLACES, THE KIDS ARE MADE TO BELIEVE THEY ARE BETTER THAN THEY REALLY ARE,WHEN ADVERSARY COMES THEY CAN NOT DEAL WITH IT. POOR PITCHING MEANS THE COACH OVERUSED ME, POOR HITTING MEANS THE UMPS MADE ME SWINGAT BAD PITCHES, I CAN NOT GET THE BALL OVER THE PLATE , IM ONLY A FRESHMAN...ETC ETC.

Guest Guest Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Van Woert is a good pitcher but his first time on Varsity. It was a heck of a spot to put the kid in. I am wondering why Meleski wasn't brought in. #1 because Reed's Dad is a Sparent! #2 Because it is time to poop all over the senior players like ME Baseball always does. (just starting a little earlier for Meleski) #3 Crooks as demonstrated in the past does not know what he is doing and is "in love" with his sparents clouding his judgement!
