@Roger774501171 Keith Hernandez

Without naming Bonds , Clemens or Pete Rose, as they should be in Cooperstown. Name me a name who needs to be in Cooperstown ,and was overlooked. I’ll start Lou Whitaker .

Shohei Ohtani vs. Roger Dorn

@JamesDYodice @OrlandoABQ Agree..bummer

@OrlandoABQ @RudyWrightJr Based on the criteria, Cibola really only got credit for beating La Cueva. The wins over PV and Cleveland and Eldorado were all excellent … but the NMAA criteria talks only about wins over other district champions.

What happened was, Sandia, Cibola and AHA all finished tied. AHA had the edge on Cibola. Cibola had the edge on Sandia. Sandia had the edge on AHA. So NMAA had to break down how they rated in each of the 6 criteria points. That got Sandia into the field. Then AHA/Cibola tiebreak.

@OrlandoABQ @JamesDYodice Agree..but the language says district champs regardless of class..so it would have been more beneficial to have played and beaten an east mountain (like rio grande) vs beating cleveland or PV according to the criteria..

@RudyWrightJr @JamesDYodice Academy and Los Alamos? Really? Did NMAA not look at our schedule and teams we beat? Sorry, I think that's weak...At the end of the day, we had to win period.

@OrlandoABQ @JamesDYodice Wins vs district champs hurt us..according to nmaa website wins vs district champs was one..Sandia beat us with 2 (academy/los alamos) to our 1 against cueva..plus overall record..bummer..

@JamesDYodice So what are the 6 criteria points Sandia met that put them ahead of Cibola if Cibola had the edge?

@JamesDYodice @zapach13 What killed us is wins vs district champs..we beat cueva, sandia beat academy and los alamos..

@zapach13 @RudyWrightJr Those were not preseason games. Those are regular-season games. Several teams, including La Cueva and Rio Rancho, also played multiple games outside of the state. They all count toward your record.

More on 5A baseball bracket: All 4 Las Cruces schools made it. No Volcano Vista for what I believe is the first time ever. (Not 100 on that one). Atrisco gets in as a 16 seed. Cibola, my beloved alma mater, beat four of the top seven seeds, but that wasn't enough. Coogs out.

@JamesDYodice @Abal_333 We received the explanation from NMAA and it makes sense..still bummed, but it clarified it..Good luck to Sandia & Atrisco..

@RudyWrightJr @Abal_333 SOS is NOT one of the criteria. Unfortunately for Cibola.

It came down to Cibola and Atrisco Heritage for the last spot. Cibola had the edge in both polls, plus more wins against other district champs. AHA had the edge in overall record and district placement, plus head-to-head. AHA's win was the difference.

@JamesDYodice @Abal_333 Should have been..

@Abal_333 @JamesDYodice Cibola 14.8 / Sandia 10.15 / Atrisco 8.43

@JamesDYodice What was the difference in their SOS?

@JamesDYodice Can we request the info too? @_NMAA

So, I requested, and received, the coaches input totals for 5A baseball. That is one of the criteria. Here you go: 1. Rio Rancho 327 2. Cleveland 308 3. La Cueva 291 4. Piedra Vista 275 5. Centennial 259 RR got 16 of 21 first-place votes. La Cueva got three, Cleve/Cent 1 each.

@_NMAA @nusendacu Bracket is BS! Sandia over Cibola makes no sense..explain it..defend that one!

Here’s a look at the Class 5A bracket for the 2026 Nusenda Credit Union State Baseball Championships. @nusendacu

Needs to be studied how quickly an entire generation became pathetic pussies. I’m in my 20s, when I played travel ball growing up if we felt a team was showboating, we as a collective of kids, would agree to hit batters or hard slide spikes up to send a message. Dead society.

This isn’t okay. This is Pottstown. Are their videos entertaining? Yes…but let’s be real. They probably aren’t focused on being future hall of fame baseball players. They are future YouTube/content creators. Especially with antics like these. My kid talks about these kids and my response to him is remember your goal. Remember your intentions and then emulate those that have reached the level that you want to achieve. So yeah…if your goal in life is to be a star on instagram or YouTube, these are the kids for you. But if your goal is to play real baseball for a long time, find someone else to look up to ❤️⚾️✨ Oh and parents…..if your kid is doing this and you are proud….be better parents. I said what I said 🤷🏼‍♀️

God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
