High School Baseball playoffs.....
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:47 am
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:47 am
are now best of 3 series.
Many High School vs. Mamou High school(home team for game 2)
Weathers gets awful in the fifth, they play through all weather to complete the 5th(Many has a tarp capable of covering the entire infield but never even attempt to use it). Many is winning 1-0 after 5 completed(now 1:50 P.M.). Lightening starts so players go to their dugouts for the delay. Minutes later they call the game after 5 innings completed. Mamou is eliminated and sent home.
What are y'all opinions about that Head Coach never covering the field, if they were down 1-0 no one can tell me he wouldn't have went to all extremes to cover or complete it. How to you make that decision at 2 pm with the rest of the day and Sunday to potentially complete that game?
I have zero connection to the game but i grew up loving the game of baseball and i do indeed believe it can teach you a lot about life...... I feel Many handled that situation about as classless as it possibly gets.
I cant imagine being a Senior and sent home for a game that isn't even completed. It's just a game and it's not the end of the world but to work all season only to take an L in 5 when down by 1 run is pretty crappy.
Thoughts/Opinions?? (i know t his post was too long)

It's called home field advantage

Whoever named that city is an a-hole. Made it damn near impossible to read your question without being confused.
To answer your question, I think it's pretty bush league. Baseball is one of those games of unwritten rules, and I'd imagine most would consider it classless to do this. I could understand if it was 10-0 in a mid-season game, but in the playoffs this is BS. Finish the damn game.

The tarp wouldn't have impacted the lightning delay/cancellation.
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:52 am to amo3822
It's not like it was a travel ball or all star type team. I thought high school team baseball had become obsolete?
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:53 am to amo3822
Sometimes it's too late and the damage is done and the tarp wouldn't have done any good.
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:54 am to amo3822
They obviously DGAF about the kids anyway if there was a lightning delay and they left them in the dugouts
Posted on 5/1/17 at 7:54 am to amo3822
Agree with poster above: home field advantage. The weather rules are in the rule book and it seems as though they followed the rule correctly. I don't like it though.

you're an idiot, how many times have you spent all day watching lightening without it stopping............ the lightening was was they came off the field, the rain is why it never continued which clearly could have been prevented with the tarp if they rolled it at any point in the 4th(prior to even lightening) and wait until lightening stops.
They took their approach to get a Win that is connected to a very VERY VAGUE rule that can be bent a million different ways to favor your team(especially at home)
again, made this decision at 2 pm with hourssssss of daylight left and even Sunday if needed

I doubt Many AD and baseball coach had much influence on the game being called...I would think that would come down from LHSAA

Tyga, i disagree... i think someone could interpret the very vague rule "if weather doesn't allow you to finished the game but you've completed 5 innings, it can be called" ....
you think it was made to be called complete at 2 pm? after basically no wait? think the rule would support someone capable of protecting their field but choosing not to for one reason only obviously.
i would think that rule may apply to it being late at night and still weather not clearing, someone scenario far more extreme, etc.

Mamou should have won game 1! Many coach did his job to get HIS team to the next round. If LHSAA wants it to be different then put a LHSAA official at each host site and give them full authority to make these decisions.
Also, it was a 1-0 game, he took a chance playing the 5th inning with Mamou, as home team, that the rain could have caused his teams some
errors and allowed Mamou to score the game tying or winning runs? But once the infield is soaked the tarp
aint coming out!

This is why you have to win game 1. Pretty sure something similar happened a year or two ago where weather screwed up the weekend and the game 1 winner was deemed the series winner.

Oh, the irony of calling someone else an idiot after misspelling lightning 5 times... (There's no "e" in lightning you dumb frick).

This is likely the reason why the tarp didn't come out. And if it's lightening then no one can be on the field for 30 min after each lightning strike.

Isn't it the umps call to stop the game?
