High School Baseball Forum: Chaffee Baseball Tournament Schedule & Live Updates

Replies (18)

• I'm curious if there will be good food in Chaffee at the concession stand? Is there a good place to eat in Chaffee? I know Oran always has good food at their tournaments.

• They normally have dogs, brats, bbq sandwiches and burgers along with the usual popcorn, nachos and pretzels. As far as places to eat, Megs downtown is a good place to eat with a good menu.

• Well considering it will be a very long day I might have to eat at the concession stand and Megs.

  deadred . . . The weather forecast for Saturday is not good at all. I'm definitely bringing my umbrella. Watching baseball games in the rain is fun!

• It would be great to hear something about the teams in this tournament.

• Drawmules,

  You saw Bernie, Malden, Charleston and Cooter in the Malden Tournament. Other than Dexter, there is no other team in this Chaffee Tournment that can really play with those four teams. I really thought the Malden Tournament had a bunch of quality teams. It would have been a hole lot more interesting if Charleston would have been able to stay in the Tournament.

  The Chaffee Tournament has really not changed that much in the teams in that currently in it. If you had to choose a sport that Egyptian, Shawnee and Chaffee are known for, people would diffently say their baseball program, but in the past 10 or so years they have really just been average at best. This tournament has a bunch of average teams nothing more than that.

  Senath is good.

  I bet the umpiring will be better in the Chaffee Tournament and I bet the playing conditions around second base will be safer and fortunately we already have a complete schedule for the tournament. I never saw a complete schedule for the Malden Tournament.

• Although you may feel some of the teams are average, there will be some very good pitchers and players in these games which will make for an interesting tournament. This tournament has been in operation for many years and gives these teams a chance to play teams they don't normally play during the season. I remember watching the first round game last year between Shawnee and Seneth and it was 0-0 in the 7th inning with 2 very good pitchers on the mound. Clay Murphy (now at MO State) was pitching for Shawnee and I'm sorry to say I don't remember the pitcher for Seneth. If you're a baseball fan, it does not get any better than a 0-0 game pitchers duel in the 7th inning.

  Will be a fun weekend of baseball, weather permitting.

  I think the Chaffee Tournament is a better tournament for a number of reasons. One thing that makes this tournament better is the teams will be in bracket instead of three team pools that have ridiculous tie breaker rules.

  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the Chaffee School would never hire anyone from Chaffee to umpire the championship game of the tournament. This also makes the tournament a better tournament than some of the other tournaments in Southeast Missouri.

• I will also add I think playing three games in two days is better than playing four games in two days for small schools. Most small schools simply do not have enough pitching to play four games in two days.

• I hope some provides score updates and schedule changes if necessary on this thread. I'll be in Chaffee on Saturday weather permitting.

• I don't want to scare anybody but the county Chaffee is located in, Scott County, has just been placed under a Tornado Watch until 3 a.m. I've received reports trees 12 to 14 inches in diameter are down in the Walnute Ridge, Ark. area. The storm prediction center has moved the moderate risk area farther north for tonight and tommorow. As a result, the threat for severe weather has increased. More activity is forecasted after midnight. I may start a thread about the severe weather on the Southeast Missourian's homepage. I will be up all night if severe weather is present in Southeast Missouri.

• Chaffee beat Egyptian 17-4 in first game.

  Second game was suspended due to lightening in the top of 7th with Dexter beating Shawnee 6-1. I don't think the game will resume and the games tomorrow are in doubt with the forcast.

  The reports being sent out by the National Weather Service are indicating we could see two to three rounds of severe weather in the next 12 to 18 hours. Some of the storms could be capable of producing tornadoes.

  When do you anticipate the tournament will be played if it is not completed on Saturday?

• From past history, if they are unable to play on Saturday, the tournament will not be made up. Too hard getting all the teams back together again this late in the year.

• Gosh. It's still April.

  Please post if the tournament will not be played on Saturday.

• drawmules - I spoke with the Shawnee Baseball Coach via text message this morning and he told me that all games (Chaffee Tourney) were cancelled today.
