young team that is coming together...but have to play 'basic' baseball better...coaching is fine...

I'm sorry, but if you're talking about base running, if these young men didn't learn what to do in high school, they'll never get it. It's a confidence issue... and coaches either have the gift in building player confidence or players show up that are too strong for a coach to remove it. If we have a natural offensive leader on this team, he probably isn't feeling strong enough to lead due to the egos of the potbellies.

I think this coaching staff is good, but they're failing in creating player ownership. This group of players doesn't own the outcome of their own offense. I like coaches to coach and then get their asses out of the way of the one, two or three leaders on the team... so that they can take over the mindset of the game. I'm not talking about pitching. Pitching is a second game going on all by itself.

You can believe it's youth and a lack of basics... I believe we can hit. These guys swing well. They do not look like they want to kick the other teams' ___. They don't look excited that they are about to drive in runs. They don't look ____ed off that they failed to score and/or win. I've seen this before. It was a coaching personality issue.

So what was the final score? I missed the last inning while unloading my boat and I think we were down 2-1.

Thanks.

Not good. How many close games have we lost this year? Seems like we can't get a break.

Not true...the runner in the case of the last inning should have been told to run on contact. In my opinion, he should have at least asked the coach what did he(the coach) want the runner to do.

What's not true? Base runners out of high school know what to ask a third base coach. The third base coach is also supposed to make it clear without being asked. That was just a poor job by all involved. I am much more concerned with the lack of confidence in critical at-bats. Someone isn't allowing these young men to take over the game and own it from a mental standpoint IMO.

Not sure whos fault it was for the runner not running but Jace threw his arms up legging out the hit to first in exasperation and again as he went back to the dugout. You would think after leaving 15 on we would run more aggressive to break out pf this funk....instead.....we lose with a man on third which pretty much sums up the last month of the season.

Can somebody tell me why the runner didn't advance from second base on the fly ball to deep center??????
