Well you obviously don't like Shelby Valley baseball. If you can do better then try to get the coaching job. They practice every day and work very hard. I'm sure Valley will be very good. I'm excited about them actually getting a good coach. He WILL turn Shelby Valley baseball around and show you Alfus21, that they can play ball. Twin Valley could field a baseball. So, there is no way they're the worst team at the high school level. I recall somebody hitting a line shot to second base and Twin Valley catching it. Jacob Robinson, line shot to short stop and them catching it. The only thing I seen wrong with them is in the 6th I think, the pitcher threw the ball over the first basemans head. That's the only thing I seen wrong with Twin Valley's defense. I agree Twin Valley's offense was weak but they had defense to help that. Twin Valley was a decent team. I'm sure they will improve just like Valley will. Look out for Shelby Valley to improve greatly. Good Luck this weekend boys!

:biggrin: It's no secret who I am, so I have no problem with that, but try to watch the rules next time, and for goodness sakes at least attempt to use proper grammar.

I admit the talent level is low, as it always has been, but don't be so offensive at my judgement of what I saw. Routine fly balls being dropped, kids walking off the field, kids lunging at awful pitches, a kid coming into the game to pitch with a runner on first and going out of the wind up, some of the worst batting stances I've ever seen, bad pitching mechanics, and so on. Things that can be helped with a basic knowledge of the game. I don't want to argue about it, just letting you know what I saw. Sounds like they got it turned around late in the game though, and that is all that matters for this one.

If you can look at me with a straight face and say Twin Valley wasn't that bad I'll give you 50 bucks. They were down right awful. I like to think that Ratliff is a better coach than Slone was, but it's hard to say at this point. Good luck this weekend and the rest of the season.
