Have been listening to Post 29 broadcasts, they're playing well now! Noticed Jeff Link has not been on past couple of nights, where is he? Jeff Crisp and Bill have done a good job though.

Go out and support Caldwell tonight against Cherryville, see if they can make it three in a row!

Link is the new AD at East Burke HS and I think he is taking some classes this summer too. I talked to him on the phone yesterday. He was goofy as ever..

I gonna miss ole Link next year. I guess this summer is his swan song with WJRI and thats a shame... he has a ton of charisma on the radio and hes one of those guys that never seems to be in a bad mood, ever...

If Crisp isn't coaching this time next year, he better be gettin ready for the fun and excitement of WJRI radio.....

We, South Caldwell lost a good one in Jeff Link. I am very sorry to see him go. He coached several sports while here and give it his all. Great guy and a lot of fun and got along well with the kidds. I wish him all the luck in the world back at East Burke his almamater .sp

cherryville 5
caldwell 4

close game all the way, both teams played a good game. very few errors if any.

still looking for a caldwell roster. with all the players here one night and not the next it would be nice to at least know who is on the roster. anouncers mentioned madison having obligations for his career to fulfill. what is he doing in the middle of the week when he doesnt play? Is brad hardee playing this year? very unusual with a program like caldwells to have so many unknowns this far into the season.

Players

I know Madison is supposed to be back Sunday and Brad Hardee, Josh Severt, Colt Seter, Kolt Hilton Saturday. I know the state championship ran into a lot of the season and then these kids had their baccalaureate, graduation and senior trip planned (and you only get one in your life but Josh is a junior) so it looks worse than it is. Now I know Madison and Shane Clawson will leave for the state games and I think Madison will go to the beach that same week. It is hard though when some of your better hitters are missing for so long. I don't think they will have the "whole" team until the very last week of the regular season. Remember they made it to the state championship and that is the reason for the 29er record.

It is hard though when some of your better hitters are missing for so long. I heard Brad had an injury sliding into third base earlier in the season and might need surgery on his shoulder which he was putting off an MRI until after the high school baseball season. His dad said he is hoping this week off from ball will help it finally start to heal and he will be ready to go because the constant use of it aggravates his shoulder. He said the MRI has been put on hold to see if therapy will help instead. He has to look ahead to football later in the summer also. I know he wants to play 29er ball though. I don't think they will have the "whole" team until the very last week of the regular season. Remember they made it to the state championship and that is the reason for the 29er record. Normally one week would not have made much difference since part of that week was playing out of conference. Their plan was to miss only 4 regular season games, but it didn't work out that way.

where has the dedication to the program gone? This is bad...you can go to the dang beach anytime.

Results...Lose to Bobby Dell twice......bad...Maybe we need to start shooting marbles where we don't need a whole TEAM.

I have been a very close follower of caldwell baseball since 85. What made the caldwell program special and different from other programs has been the dedication of the players over the years. They didnt do what others did and their successful results speaks for its self. Everyone understands the deal with the state championship run and has no problems with the record that resulted from it. The bottom line to me is if you dont have anything else you want to do then I will go play baseball for this great caldwell program. Maybe as i have read over and over on this board legion ball as we knew it is over. Other programs im sure have already experienced this. I think if the fans continue to go to the games and the "team" is not there it wont be long till the fans are not going to be there. What is going on now is not the same as it has been in the past. Even if we win a state championship this year I still do not like what is happening. These guys maybe doing what is right for them as an individual but they are killing what is special about cladwell county legion baseball. Maybe it is not important to them but it is to me. Hey just my opinion. To the guys that are showing up to play as a longtime fan I appreciate your efforts THANKS!!

I agree. I appreciate the guys that have stuck it out, win or lose. Maybe these others will have to earn their way no matter what. Show their dedication. I think their will be a good team for the play-offs though because they are competitive players as a team and they like each other, even the ones that are missing now. I look forward to it each year!!

You are wrong. These kids can't go to the beach anytime. They have been dedicated to baseball all summer for 7-10 years. You only graduate once and have the opportunity to go to the beach with your graduating friends ONCE. I remember it being the time of my life. Go ask these families how many vacations they have had to skip b/c of baseball. You only have these boys when they are young once also. Family vacations are very memorable and sacrificed for baseball. There needs to be some family time and vacation built into these programs. Remember people wouldn't be complaining if it weren't for SC going so far in the play-offs and that is a shame. Celebrate that they made it as far as they did. I agree underclassmen shouldn't be pardoned. They should be there to take up the slack for the seniors. Certain players have been allowed to take their family beach trip every year and miss a week and nothing was said in previous years. Either you allow it or you don't, no matter who the player is. These kids can go play showcase and AAU and not have to give up vacations. These kids have too many choices today. Just the way it is. Coaches have to give in to get certain players to play. These kids are dedicated. I am dedicated to baseball, but I also know the seniors shouldn't be looked down upon for their choice. All legion programs are going through the same thing. Hickory, Cherryville, etc. I wouldn't feel good about taking that away from them. I'll bet the seniors that don't go will regret it someday later in life when baseball is a memory. Many of these kids have been dedicated to baseball year-round for many years so you can't talk about dedication when you don't know what you are talking about. They have been very dedicated. Ask their parents about their sacrifices!!

I know what the hell I'm talking about, its just a difference of opinion. My son has played since he was 4 years old and for the last 16 years he sacrificed his beach trip for the team each year because of his love for the game. He missed going to the beach and he hated that, but he just told me if he had it to do over, he would make the same choice. Its fine if you want to go the beach for graduation, just make a choice baseball and team or the beach. Some ball players have deeper roots for the game than others. There is nothing wrong with either...just choose.

Thanks for that Moose...well said. When these younger kids see the older ones making the sacrifice, it makes a difference. They pull together as a team. Some going some staying pulls a team apart. I've seen it happen.
