Very simple. See that little box in front of each school name, click it and watch. How could anybody favor University of Maryland, Baltimore County over the University of Virginia in basketball? Easy, they were a supporter of the team. So what if they voted with their heart instead of their head? Isn't this board to promote discussion or is it to have everyone march in lock step?

How is anyone favored over CF? Can't be. Ontario had a pretty good week in Myrtle Beach winning 2 and losing 3. 3 of the games were against schools twice their size.

Two freshman contributing, that’s good to see. Harding has 1 freshman playing up. I don’t know much about him, think he might catch ? And he has a couple hits so far. Gabe detwiler remains Hardings best hitter, on base often.

Ontario 5-4 over BV. Smh it’s almost like BV didn’t actually change coaches. It’s a broken record.

Why what happened ? From score looks like Bv is improved. Ontario is a good team so far it looks to be. Bv was bad last year, losing by 1 run looks like a good game.

BV wasn't that bad last yr the coaching was. No way Kirby will be as bad as thay had. 4, they beat Harding twice last yr and lost about 7 games where the coach left pitchers in too long when they had late leads and everyone could see they were done, but the coach. Plus playing kids out of position for most of the yr. Only thing I see the same so far is Their pitching Evan to much when they have a bunch of pitchers and Evan can play anywhere on the field. Did same last yr with Spaulding, he pitched every other game it seemed like. BV will be fine.

Same issue last night. Left Evan in for the whole game when he didn’t have anything left. They didn’t even get anyone warming up as he started to struggle. Couple this with a very questionable use of players imo and I think they will underachieve this year.

4-last night should have been 5-1 instead of 5-4. Ontario dropped a pop fly in the 7th which allowed BV to make a rally. They ended up scoring 3 runs on 1 hit. Both teams had trouble adjusting to the strike zone. Plate ump was consistent but he was calling easily 3-4”off the plate to the outside.

Couple this with a very questionable use of players imo and I think they will underachieve this year. Well well well. Anyone who thinks coaching is similar, is obviously commuting too much to Colorado! And "4", you are kinda right, last years team wasn't good record wise. Just couldn't win the close ones, and almost all were close. Just a few facts: This team is young. I mean, ridiculously young. Have 2 freshman playing daily, (ok, every few weeks due to weather) - (1) who absolutely should be in 8th grade. (2) sophomores, who realistically age wise, should be freshman, plus another sophomore. Its a very fresh season. Give the coach some time with multiple games in a week. I am sure he is trying to find out who can play, and who is a champion in the cage but can't produce on the field. The one thing that may be similar, is that yes, the previous few years, pitchers were left in waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Probably not enough A's in that statement... BUT, in a 1-1 game, you leave your best pitcher in who was at about 80 pitches for the game, isn't unreasonable. Coaches can't win. If you take him out, and the next kid stinks up the field, then everyone complains about taking out the best pitcher who had only given up a run and wasn't at his pitch limit. So there's that. An error led to a big inning for Ontario. Most likely, the single error, with the extra out that BV gave em on that, probably cost em 2-3 runs in itself. Different game. Ontario doesn't suck, and BV literally stranded a bunch of runners. Gotta move the ball with runners in scoring position. The lack of bunting skills is mind boggling, and getting a few down probably changes the outcome too. Some people hate bunting, but if you do it well, your record will improve. BV has to " learn" how to win games. That approach to the game itself is not remotely close to 4 or so years. BV could't even warm up somewhat right before. Rome wasn't built in a day, trust me, I was there....lol. I think this team will improve immensely, but needs 15 games under its belt to get there. Weather has killed all teams, but young teams are really burdened by it. Let's hope weather gets better.. #worstspringever

Firing shots at coaches 6 games in.... Yikes!!! Far stretch from what was said about 4 months ago baseballdad.
“”BV has a new coach. Very impressed with him so far. It may take him a few years to reverse the crappy culture of the previous coach but things are headed in the right direction.”
And if the post history serves right, didn’t you say in last years baseball thread, “IMO, the program is in a state of disarray because there is no idea of how to run a program, and it goes beyond just coaching on the field.”
Someone’s son must not be playing.......

I don't think BD has a son playing, I maybe wrong but he's posted as BD on this and the last site for yrs and I don't remember a lot of brothers playing on BV. So I Don't think its about his son not playing. Like I said could be wrong. Also like I said, I don't think Kirby has any chance of being as bad as they've had there in past. BD has always been pretty accurate with his post as far BV baseball goes. I've played there,coached there, had son play there and I just want them to win.

Yes I did make those comments based on first impressions. I now find those first impressions to not have been accurate. Maybe I’ll be wrong and maybe not. I’ll have and always will own my comments. I’m with gates, I just want them to win as a program, but I see some of the same things I’ve seen for years starting to develop. Kirby had a lot of momentum in the program and my guess is he’s starting to lose that. If he loses the kids, he’ll be in the same boat as hall. I hope I’m wrong tho.

Harding is struggling at the moment and taking shots at coach McCrery is easy for anyone who doesn't really know what he has to deal with on a daily basis. Parents taking kids on spring trips as the season starts and the music department scheduling a trip to New York city the first week in April that four key players attended tends to seriously effect a lineup. I'll also throw in the fact that Harding has no real youth program to teach kids the fundamentals that many lack by the time they get to high school. Coach McCrery has in the past tried to establish a youth program but can't get people willing to help coach or teach fundamentals because they are either unwilling to help or their kid plays "travel ball". I've seen enough "travel ball" to know that unless a kid is playing for an elite team most travel coaches can recognize talent but don't really know how to develop it or practice fundamentals. Most of Harding's kids never pick up a baseball or a bat until mandatory practice starts at the end of February. Off season open gyms are offered in the evenings and even before school with generally little attendance. I give him prompts for sticking it out as long as he has.

Didn't an Ontario error lead to a 3 run inning for BV? Ontario, who "doesn't suck", has a Freshman in their pitching rotation and a Freshman starting in the field. I think 80 pitches is enough for 15-18 year old arms. Seeing that Major League manger's don't like to see their 25 to 35 year old starters throw more than around 100 pitches. JMHO

JMHO Willard, Yes, Ontario sure did, but of course we only care about those that affect our team.. Days off & pitch counts affect games daily, meaning, if you throw another kid, you may be done w/ 2 pitchers for a few days, though I "think" BV has enough arms, but the quality may be more of an unknown. Even folks with zero baseball knowledge can second guess a coach with no consequences, and look like geniuses at times. I will trust our coach. He is new, has great passion for BV, & has started to build a PROGRAM. Some kids are fine at 80+ pitches, some are not at 60. I'm sure the coach knows each ones abilities well, and if not well enough yet, will very soon with the weather breaking for the better.. We hope.. BV just gotta win some close ones soon. Good luck tonight!
