Clovis vs Buchanan

Clovis West vs Central

Clovis North vs Clovis East

I was at the CN v. CE game. Wilson threw for CN and looked really good. Kept CE off balance and only gave up a few hits...nothing really loud. Corkery pitched in traffic all day and got out of several jams. CN should've pushed a few more runs across. They failed to execute on a bunt that cost them a run and just failed to get the big hit to open up the game. CE also played sloppy. I think they ended up with four errors. Wilson was good and Hertel came in to close it out. Clovis North grinded out a win but both teams could've played much better. Honestly I wasn't impressed with CE at all. I don't think they'll be a factor in TRAC play. Still love smith and what he's done at CE but I think this years squad is a step back from last year.

CN swept CE. Wyatt Johnson with another gem. Solid pitcher. Works fast, attacks the zone, controls the tempo. Wyatt Prieto was out of the lineup. I'm not sure if he's healthy and I won't speculate. What I will say is his presence and leadership is a big reason why this team has been so successful this year. I hope he's ok.

This week went about how I expected. Clovis & Clovis North are clearly ahead of the rest of the league. Clovis West seems to always lose one game against Central & Clovis East when they're clearly the better team. I might be in the minority but I like the newer format of three league games in 5 days.

At least the kids at Buchanan are "actually be held accountable now" and they are "finally having to earn starting spots" since that wasn't happening for 20 years previously

Was at Buchanan High game and Fresno City College game yesterday.

Fresno City has a great club and are a fun team to watch. They have a lot of great local talent which is good to see. They will be a force.


Clovis High beat Buchanan High. 8-0 when I left. Talked to a local rival coach and said that he thought Buchanan High coaching, especially batting, was failing their kids.

Maybe their coach is trying to teach them like a major leaguer? Do you teach batting different at High school and college compared to major league?

Maybe OMS can chime in for that

I'm assuming this is what is being said by the new staff...that's wild. The wildest part is that would imply that earning your spot and being held accountable result in worse outcomes.

I'm definitely not crying over Buchanan baseball losing.

Governor most serious hitting instruction is a lot alike stay in the middle of the field hit strikes. Troy I am sure is a very skilled hitting Coach Buchanan is going through a tough patch.Confidence is extremely important and it seems that could be part of that couple little things have cost them. The biggest difference between the levels is size and strength.
