LEFTY-------Donson Dearth--------

[JoeGatto]

Bird....how can you call me blind when you weren't even at the game to see for yourself how hard LU's two lefty's were throwing? It seems to me that you don't want anyone other than Dearth to succeed, and that's a shame. I've given Dearth all kinds of credit and props for his pitching but you refuse to acknowledge that anyone other than him is any good.

rope....better read what I said.....you being blind has nothing to do with the L.U. lefty's....you are the one that stated my quotes...and last time I checked this post I started and it was for Donson and not liberty Union....if you want start a post on them. As far as saying buckeye 4 didn't have a gun at the game...That's the second time you called someone a liar.....so if your going to be negative on this post then find another one to beliddle people...this post is about Donson and not you or I ....NEVER DID I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR LEFTY'S AND THINK YOU A LITTLE BIT JEALOUS......and as far as buckeye 4 goes he gave your pitcher quite a compliment on saying he clocked him at 87.....but look again at top of post and who it was started for...... this is my last response to you .....bird78

LOL it is amazing how people can take things on here so far out of context and completely blow them way out of proportion. I didn't call anybody a liar about the radar gun. All I said was that I didn't see anyone there with one, that doesn't mean I don't believe buckeye4. And as far as being jealous...why would I? The goal of everyone involved with high school sports should be to promote student athletes. Dearth seems like a nice young man with a good head on his shoulders. Again, I said Dearth did a good job against LU and I said he has good control and command and isn't afraid to go after hitters. When I said speed doesn't mean anything unless you have control, I was referring to the fact that Dearth had good control and the LU pitchers didn't. I think you need to take a deep breath and calm down. I don't have anything against your son, nephew, grandson, or whatever relation he is to you. I've never said anything bad about you or Dearth. You are the one that resorted to personal attacks, not me. If you think that me saying he doesn't throw in the mid 80's is something negative toward him, that's not the case. Whether he does or doesn't is pointless because speed isn't everything. His offspeed stuff is more impressive anyway.

[nerkfan]

Those stats are better than any of the pitchers on my sons team.
