Tiger10 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 You would think pg would seek out teams like Kilgore or Springhill and play them in the pre district to see how they need to adjust for the playoffs since they obviously never get tested in district play. A nice winning record looks good on paper but is useless come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is pg is untested and cannot hit quality d1 caliber pitching that became obvious last year against argyle and is still holds true this year. They will have a cakewalk through the playoffs unless they face a d1 pitcher in a 1 game series. PG untested? What about Canton??? They are undefeated so I’ll assume they have played no one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGHawkfan Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Okay, just looking at the stats and not strength of schedule: PG has outscored opponents 192-41 this year in 25 games. (7.68 per game v. 1.64) 17 of those 41 runs were in the losses. Two games were lost by 2 runs, One game by 1, & the final game by 5. In district, they outscored opponents 80-3. (8 per game v. 0.3) Based upon stats alone, PG hits & pitches very well. Even if the schedule strength isn't great, they have still averaged a 7-8 run differential throughout the season. I would say that is pretty strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger10 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Absolutely. I'm not a pg hater, they are a great team with a lot of depth and playoff experience. Their pitching is good, not great, but reliable, but they don't have the d1 commit ace like Argyle and others and that's the difference between a great team and a state championship team. Of course you have to be good on defense but that should be a given for a team in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger10 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I stand by my statement that pg does not seek out and play top tier teams during the season and would rather have a nice shiny record in a very week district. They will not win a 1 game series against a d1 committed pitcher they are not prepared for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger10 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm in agreement with you some teams seem to coast into the playoffs then hit the brick wall of reality when they finally see top tier pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those two met up I do not think pitching would be the difference. They went 3 games last year and were all close games. Two of them decided by 1 run I think. Ummmmm...PG beat those same 2 D-1 arms last year with the same arms on the mound this year. PG will scratch out a run and Bullard will not score. LOL.

They played Carthage Twice won one lost one and played Benton LA and lost 6-2. I think they have played a pretty dang good non-district schedule.

Sportsfanatic1 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 My gosh! For anyone to think PG isn't for real in the playoffs doesn't know baseball. Fincher is probably the best coach in ET. I promise you they will put Hampton in play if the Kilgore picks the chicken way out. Most disciplined team I've ever seen. Way more than Argyle he just doesn't have 12 D1's at his disposal.

Nobody said PG wasn't any good or at least I didn't I was just saying I wouldn't be guaranteeing a win over a team when ya'll have never played them. It shouldn't matter how many games they played if PG is the better team then they should have no problem playing 1 game or a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would agree, a series is the best to determine the best team. Buy the way, welcome to a team that has been winning! Where have you been?

WhoamI97539 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Also why is it the teams who make it to Austin only play one game matchups and not a series? Please elaborate for me? If so the best team doesn't ever win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyle is the only team in the region that has matched up and that has been the regional final with the winner in Austin and Argyle is in 1 now. I don’t see KILGORE anywhere in that mix. Yes they are having a good year and congrats! But until Kilgore knocks PG off, you shouldn’t have much to say. If Kilgore knocks them off I will be stunned and glad to have a big bucket of crow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
