From the outside looking in I felt like Barbes Coach is a huge distraction for the team with his antics through the games.

Am I wrong with that?

yes

I even saw the 3b coach, who think is his son, a couple times pointing to the dugout for him to get out of what was going on.

---

yea its his son

i wasnt at the game but Glen is always like that during games and has plenty of hardware

Good God...wasn't questioning the hardware....

Was saying numerous times glenn would walk in the middle of a discussion and almost break it up with his son pointing numerous times to get back to the dugout. Seemed like the son was frustrated with him alot.

There was one time he was almost in the batters box with his player. Just seems like a show for him. I get that hes probably a good guy but as a player I would think this would get old.

It’s become pretty clear over the years 777 serves on the Barbe baseball staff in some capacity.

I know some well and have at least met all of them at some point and this would be very surprising to me.

haha it would surprise you because im not on the staff or with the school at all, i have no kids there and my kids go to other schools in the area and i didnt even go there. I know more about other programs in the area than i do theirs. there are people that know me in real life on here, i promise in not on Barbes staff. never have been, never will be.

Very unrealistic I’m pretty. Sure pbs and a couple others won state w losing records

Dunham was .500 entering the playoffs. They're in the semifinals. Didn't have a stellar record last year either and made the semis.

They usually play a tough schedule and go into the playoffs better for it. They seem to be a really well coached team. I believe the head coach came over from Evangel a couple of years ago.

but the constant calls of cheating get old AF really quickly. Every one of these moves have been legit to the point of LHSAA going to the houses and making sure they live there.

Welcome to the life of a John Curtis alum and parent. If they aren't accusing of cheating, you must not be winning. Suck it up and quit crying, I've heard it for 40+ years now.

The boys look and feel as confident as ever. Watching the bats come alive against Jesuit was a great sign, hopefully they didn't blow their wad already.
As a parent who's watched us get eliminated by Catholic 4 years in a row, definitely nervous. This feels like it's our time though. Catholic seems down a smidge from the last two years and we have our biggest and most experienced senior class since my senior year in 97.
Hopefully umpiring is consistent. I know, I know, it's always the umps, but game 2 last year had two very clear calls go Catholics way that led to huge momentum shifts. If our pitching can come out hot, we definitely can sweep this series. More than likely 3 games, but we have 4 quality starters. Bullpen is a little more shallow with a couple injuries, but we're deep enough to go 3 games.
I'm pumped and can't wait. It's my son's senior year and I'm not ready for to end just yet.
