Glad to see he is doing well, one of the better hitters in ET. B-NUT

I like the team defense of Pine Tree, but am not sure who they have coming back on the bump. B-NUT

I agree with you unclebubba, they should be pretty good, and I too like Fant. As always, they should have a good defensive team on the field also. B-NUT

Does anyone know the status of Gunner Baker from PC. He is a fun kid to watch, very nice swing. B-NUT

I will go with the Indians. I feel they are by far the best coached team in this area. The discipline they show at the plate puts them way beyond their years. They really force the pitcher to throw quality pitches. Baker has looked really sharp on the mound the two games I have seen. 1 thru 9, they make you work, and it will take a very good effort to beat them. How is their pitching after Baker? B-NUT

I agree, I was shocked Carthage did not make the change. B-NUT

I would have to agree, Elkhart looks pretty solid at almost every position. When they are on, they will be tough. Reeves has really improved since I saw him pitch last year. He is one of the better 2a kids I have seen pitch this year> B-NUT

There is a big difference between a #1 and an Ace. Every team has a #1, but few teams have an Ace. An Ace is a pitcher who you will throw against the other teams #1 or Ace if they have one. You can bet if a coach does not start his #1 against the other teams #1, he does not consider his kid an Ace. B-NUT

I watched him pitch against Paris earlier in the year and he looked pretty good. Coach has changed his delivery, less flailing with the glove side, and it has really helped his control. Coach said "one game he may walk 12 and the next game he is lights out". He looked much better than in high school. If he keeps listening to the coaches there, he will do fine. B-NUT

Well said!!!!! B-NUT

Cage is one of the best high school hitters I have seen this year. B-NUT

First time I have seen Taylor pitch. He seems like a "pitch to contact" kind of pitcher. As long as your guys can make the plays, as Paris showed they could, he should do well. B-NUT

Who does Alto have pitching this year? B-NUT

A very enjoyable day of baseball. Carthage appears to be pretty deep in talent. I liked the pitching and the defense today. I hope to catch a lot of their games this year. B-NUT

Moss, Minter, and Stone are the cream of the crop in this group. Baker from Carlisle may be the best pure hitter, Smith from Elkhart is in the top 3 catchers in ET that I have seen. Carthage, as a team is solid at every position. B-NUT
