GCL FOOTBALL, Don't know where you got your info from, but Badin was leading 5-3, bottom of 2nd.
Who are some key players in this game tomorrow for both teams??? Who is pitching for Badin and McNick?
Back to that one run jibberish ... yea go look back at the one-run victories at home I'm pretty sure that it hard during a time game going into the bottom of the seventh to win a game by more than one run unless its a walk off homerun! And what coach in Butler County doesn't know half of the umpires? I mean we're talking about Badin HS here boys not the Midland Redkins baseball!
...Also to put Cassano in the same company as Basil is a pretty fair compliment.
Cassano is a fine player and I wish him luck if he does attend Dayton from what I hear... but Badin Is Badin it does not matter which sport it is they are perceived as whiners and they get this label honestly... they are probably the most hated school in butler county by the county rivals its just the nature of the beast!!!! everyone wants to beat badin!!!!!does not matter if they are good or if they bad you always want to beat their in the dirt!!!!

WOW! How did this get off on a whiner tangent, but since it has.......
Dawg-no doubt that the county area schools have that hatred, I have felt for over 40 years, yet I am not sure if it has anything to do with whining. Maybe this group is worse than alot but have you been to a HHS basketball game in like the last 100 years. Good Lord! They take it to a whole different level.
IMHO-not sure if it is the case anymore but there were no bigger group of whiners than the ole Bombers themselves not too long ago. Any GCL south school will attest to that.
I have only attended one Badin game this season so I cannot comment on the present group but I just don't see where the whining comes from. Yet maybe I have my green blinders on.
The declining enrollment is a major issue for Badin yet they will continue to get good baseball players. The area is ripe for them. That entire program is from Hamilton/FF catholic feeder schools and I know of two other area kids that attended those same schools that are excelling at county HS that would be great fits for the Rams. The declining enrollment will hurt the football program more than anything. They will be DV next year.
It's not just a Badin thing. It's every sporting event I ever attended. Most of the of this talk of Badin is because everyone targets the winners. Especially when you're on the losing side. There is and always will be those making excuses for losing. funny thing is the umpires and refs for the school events travel around, so that stupid talk is another excuse for losing. The whining and crying from the parents starts at little league, pee-wee football and soccer and continues on through college. That's a parent and fan thing. It's no more or less in Ohio than any other state in the USA.
I am not going to get into the whining debate. I just find it funny that a fan from Hamilton ( and I believe an old Ross guy also) would talk about any other program in that lite. If you go back and read my post that is what I posted - no reason to bring others into the discussion as for some reason unknown to me you seem to like to do.
I think Badin's run in baseball will be determined by whether they produce another stud pitcher like McKinney. With him they have a pitcher that can hold the GCL S teams down. In the past 3 years I believe he has pitched just about every game against the GCL S schools. Am I wrong? Do they have another on the horizon?
...So it's not a fair compliment? I am confused once again. I know perfectly well what he is referring to with regard to J. Basil and I'm not sure that belongs on here.
GCPRO, Cassano was very good watching him as a junior, I'm not sure if he looks 100% healthy since the ankle injury, because the 4 games I have seen recently he is not nearly the same. And we all know the comparison to Basil, and it is a fair comment, I think when you look at that team it is the 1 thing that could get exposed by a good base stealing team. Now a straight steal he is a legit 2.0 to second, but any kind of delay steal the ball will either roll to second or end up in CF
FWIW-I know perfectly well what Jason Basil suffered through as a catcher, most of that has nothing to do with physical ability. With regard to the Badin catcher, I have no idea what he is going through. He is obviously not as talented as the Basil kid, but I have no intimate knowledge what his issue is. Just doesn't feel it belongs on here. I hope it works at for all.
