Bring Amador on,,,,don’t bring your lunch,,,the Hornets will hand you yours.

alameda cant hit all they do is take hope for a walk then bunt. Woo n elzig only guys who can swing a little.i would like to see the hornets play an ebal team but the hornets are good dont get me wrong but they dont pound teams they win off others mistakes like not fielding a bunt if you throw strikes alameda in trouble.

Alameda 8-0 vs Turlock 12-1 on Saturday, 4/9/11, 1:30pm, Willie Stargell Easter Tournament at Encinal High School in Alameda

@king, perhaps you’ve never played the game of baseball. you win by playing airless baseball and executing. Alameda eats routine plays for breakfast, execution for lunch, and timely hitting for dinner. Thats how you play baseball, not swing for the fences and try to pound teams.

This must be a misprint……where are the private schools? Just does not make sense.

Can you imagine the possibilities if Vanegas and Linney had attended Alameda High? Along with Pries at Stanford and Yee currently on the AHS team… you’re talking about a high school pitching dynasty. All starting from Alameda Little League….3 Stanford pitchers and hopefully a fourth….would have dominated any league any division….

those guys didnt go to alameda probably cuz they didnt want to take on a 2-0 count. They probably wanted to hit not bunt. Not everybody can krinks so there son can get in the lineup.

Arroyo had the game against Alameda. Alameda should be 7-1 but they did get the get the job done w/ the 3 or so hits they had.

Alhambra lost its first game of the season, blowing a 6-2 lead and falling to Albany 7-6 at the Alhambra Easter Tournament. Alhambra was hoping to save Robert Stephenson for Thursday’s championship game, but it brought him into the game in the sixth inning with the score 6-4 and runners on second and third and he couldn’t close it out, giving up a wild pitch, walk, infield error and bunt single. It’s Albany vs. Dougherty Valley in the championship game at 7 pm and Alhambra vs. El Cerrito for third place at 4 pm on Thursday.

Nice work Alameda! Keep playing your game. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Hornet Pride.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Who is Dougherty Valley going to pitch – Shane Jackson?
April 10th, 2011 at 11:36 am
After Albany beat Alhambra, went on to win the Tournament in Martinez, and has proceeded to an 11-2 record, where do they rank now?

Baseball fans
Why was there much hype surrounding Amador Valley in the polls? They currently look like a bubble team for NCS.

Hey King what kind of comment was that about Alameda taking on a 2 – 0 count. Way wrong and what are you talking about when you mention “so their son can get in the lineup”? Sorry, way off base and you obviously don’t know anything about baseball.

Turlock took care of alameda this weekend. Alameda keep taking fastballs down the middle and it cost them turlock came to swing the bats. Alameda pitchers threw curveball after curveball dont know y but if yee wants to be a stanford guy like someone said he cant be scared of his fastball. Turlock showed if you throw strikes and make alameda hit not bunt there very average
April 11th, 2011 at 11:44 am
Alameda got beat by a very good Turlock team (15 – 1). Nuff said.
April 11th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
Rich no doubt turlock is very good but alameda was #1 in the eastbay they looked like they were looking for a walk the whole game. Taking fastballs right down the middle. Turlock jump out early and that prevented alameda from bunting. You would think the #1 team could comeback but when you take the bunt away alameda in trouble cause thats there main weapon.
April 11th, 2011 at 1:46 pm
Rich i heard from the hornetfans in the peanut gallery the only reason he in the lineup is cause krinks wining n dining. there fans said paveo and lyons are better hitters but there mothers are married.

King. I have no idea who or what you are talking about and I believe that this is probably the wrong forum for what you are implying. Shame on you.
