Are you kidding me? How are you going to make the statement "Paintsville should've mercied Sheldon Clark..." when Sheldon Clark defeated Paintsville TWICE in the season. And in my opinion, Brady Horn wasn't throwing "meat" all night. He is a FRESHMAN pitcher... give him some credit. How many 15 year olds do you know that can handle the pressure of a regional championship? Horn did extremely well. As for the pitching change... that was RIDICULOUS. If they wanted the win so badly, the coach should have left Grimm in (probably so he could bean Harless yet again, but nonetheless..), he was still pitching fine, and such a late pitching change spelled nothing but trouble... piss poor coaching from what I see. Each time Pugh has pitched against SC, we have murdered the ball... I know you HATE to admit it, but Pugh just is not that good of a pitcher. And you're right that Paintsville didn't hit the ball worth a shit, when do they ever? B May could have stood there, pitching the ball underhanded with his left hand and the Cardinals still would have sealed the victory. Paintsville LUCKED out with the draw that they got and were absolutely BLESSED to be in the championship game, period.

My point is, your ridiculous notions are just that... plain ridiculous.


Bottom line -- Paintsville just isn't that talented.

It's people like you twentythree who make SC look bad. I wasn't putting anyone down, I do believe I said I wasn't taking anything away from the Horn kid, he did a good job, BUT YES, he was throwing meat and if YOU ever played or knew ANYTHING about baseball then you would know that fastballs chest and waist high down the middle of the plate was MEAT. And don't start about freshmen handling pressure like that, you forget I played with Chas and Tate Harmon who BOTH pitched in games like that when they were Freshmen. "And you're right that Paintsville didn't hit the ball worth a shit, when do they ever?" Hmm, didn't B May pitch the complete game AT Paintsville, didn't Paintsville put up some good numbers that game, didn't Andrew Brown blast TWO HOME RUNS off B May that game. B May is a hell of a player, I will even agree with the post earlier about him being the best baseball player to ever play at SC, BUT to say he would have shut Paintsville down is absurd, I don't care how good you are things happen, I have seen them happen. Hell me Junior year Pikeville beat us in the region championship and we pitched Chas Harmon, the BEST pitcher in the region and area, they beat us 2-1. Not to mention we had beat Pikeville earlier in the year with ease when Chas pitched. "Are you kidding me? How are you going to make the statement "Paintsville should've mercied Sheldon Clark..." when Sheldon Clark defeated Paintsville TWICE in the season." Doesn't matter how many times SC beat them in the regular season. SC pitched a FRESHMAN who was serving up batting practice and Paintsville didn't do anything with it. They should have scored 15-20 runs on that kid. I'm not saying isn't any good, I'm saying he was throwing fastballs in the HOT ZONES if you know what I mean. I'll give you a better example TWENTYTHREE, maybe you will understand this one. Pike Central MERCIED East Ridge TWICE this year, East Ridge BEATS Pike Central FIRST ROUND of regions. Does that help you understand anything about what I am saying. Baseball is unpredictable, ANYTHING can happen on any given night no matter who is pitching or whatever.
