Why do you people keep blaming the 2 Freshman that are now on the team and one doesn't even play all the time. I have also seen the practices and completely agree but not that it is ONLY the coaches fault. These so called CAPTAINS of the team should be making sure their team is working to its fullest extent at every practice and from what I see they are too intent on fooling around, wrestling on the ground, going after balls in crazy ways just to be funny. It is their own fault for not trying to be more productive in their own practices. This team has no discipline and I believe the coach and the team are equally responsible. But I am sooooooooooooo tired of everyone blaming the so-called LITTLE LEAGUERS, they are grown young men now so get over it!!!!!!

o.k so you want to blame the captins? well they are just kids. yes they are still kids no matter how old they are. they aren't gonna tell the COACH who is a grown adult what to do at practice. these are great kids. they try their best and play hard. as for the 2 freshman they seem like great kids. your right when you say that you can't blame them. but it's just as bad if you blame the captins. i know for a fact that nick slevoski had the team in extra innings before the season. they are trying and thats all that you can ask of someone. the wins will come.

Dear Tired, No need to be defensive; I read and re-read ahsalumni's post, and it seems to me he is not blaming the freshman.....but blaming coach for putting the freshman into a position in the place of more experienced players. I attended some games; the freshman did not play spectacularly.......I think seeing that coach moved them up 2 years ahead, we did expect them to be really good. There are two jv players with BA's above 600, and great juniors and seniors who sat up there. This can be confusing. The coach's job is to run strict and serious practices; not the kids'.

oh and by the way i don't approve of hiding behind screen names. I am really Peyton Slevoski, the captins little sister. I know what has been going on and i don't think its fair that you say the captin isn't doing his job. trust me he is. his job is to show up, have fun, motivate the team, and play ball. that goes for everyone not just my brother. i think these kids have played hard. it's hard to be a first year coach of course he's gonna favor the people he knows what else is he going to do? im not saying it's right but it's reality. for everyone out there don't hide behind your screen names if you don't want people to know who said it don't post it.

whoever "tired" is should keep their mouth shut. who are you to call out me and my other two captains when you clearly have no idea about anything thats going on. it is true that 3 of the 4 freshmen have not produced as a varsity player has but jc has played very well. what do you expect from a team thats already out of the states and has players who already are looking ahead to next year. do you want us captains to be hardasses for no reason? and you wana call me a "so called" captain? ive worked my ass off for three years to gain this title and done nothing but try to do whats best for the team.dont even start with that bullshit looking for more excuses since your probably some parent whos upset your kid isnt playing

I am sorry if I offended any captains of the team but I am not a parent whos upset my kid isn't playing, my kid played many years ago and I have seen the differences. I am an interested alum who has seen both sides and thinks all the blaming should stop. I have seen soooooo many blogs about the "little leaguers" the "weak, slow freshman" etc etc and from what I hear and what I see it is a team and coach effort and not just one or two players. There is so much talk about these freshman and from what I see that JC Collette is one of the best on the team and he is a freshman. Captain you are right you work hard to get where you are and not to offend but the few practices I saw there was an awful lot of fooling around and that is the word around town. Something to think about.

People who have watched you practice are very disheartened. I saw a practice, mid-season, where all you kids did was fool around. It was sad. This is VARSITY, not Babe Ruth summer fun time league. Your language and attitude on this page is not suitable.

I have sat back quietly listening and reading all the comments written about the AHS Baseball team. I honestly cannot hold my tongue any longer. First of all to all those who are sitting back and judging what is going on I say "Shame on you" for judging . This has not been an easy year for anyone, parents included. On a personal level my son has loved the game of baseball since he was 5 years old. He has played and practiced hard on and off the field for the last 13 years. He is the one at extra innings all winter long.He has spent countless hours practicing and taking very seriously a game that he LOVES. i guess you'll have to excuse him if his Senior year that he has worked so hard for has not been any where near what he expected. He has played on the varsity team since he was a freshman so I do not fault the freshman as I'm sure he was talked about also for "taking A spot", If anyone really KNOWS the captains they would know that they are good kids who get GOOD grades are leaders in their class and are well liked by teachers, parents and peers. I guess what I'm really trying to say in all this is that it's easy to sit back and judge the kids, the captains and the coaches but what people need to understand is that this captain is very dissapointed and frustrated also. I have gone to every game to support the kids and for the love that my family has for the game and I just wish that all the people around town who are spreading these rumors would worry about what is going on with themselves and just support the youth of Amesbury. I think this board shoul be positive and try to reinforce the good things about the team everyone already knows all the negative!

Ok, now we can just STOP. You people cannot be serious about how practices are run and be pointing fingers at the Captains. You have got to be kidding. The COACHES run practice, not Captains. If there is "fooling" around at practice, it is the COACHES job to do something about it. The captains job is done before the season even begins, by getting the team together for throwing, hitting, etc... which WAS done. No ONE should be pointing fingers at anyone, this is a TEAM effort, from the Seniors all the way down the the Freshman. Now, IndianFan26, I agree the language should be cleaned up, but please, act like you know what you are talking about. Nick, as well as Mike and Chris, have all acted like CAPTAINS this year! Again, how is it the Captain's fault if all the KIDS are fooling around. There is only so much you can do or say to your teammates, and if they don't want to listen, what is your option then. And if they have "live" with 1 terrible season, I can think of several things that are worse than that. And I would have my son, NICK, speak his mind when he feels he is being attacked, whether it's an adult or not. He is 18, an ADULT. Maybe you should ACT like one yourself.

I agree Denise; however, we are all saddened about the "changes" in the program. It's tough losing someone like Jerry; and, we all know that the makeup of the varsity team would have been a LOT different had Elizabeth kept him on board. This was the ONE boys' sport that our school could be proud of, on a consistent basis, for many years. Baseball lovers on every level (parents, kids, fans) are pissed off about what has gone on. I would love if the whole world only spoke in a positive way, as well; but, not all are feeling positive about the Amesbury baseball program, right now. And we all have a right to "chat", "post", "vent" on this forum. Parents ought to know better than to blame the kids, or, speak ill of any child; but, also, Nick's language on his board was disrespectful. He should be proud of his accomplishments, and not worry what some anonymous critic says on a chat board. And Peyton sounds like a "freshie", as well. I do not know how old she is, and, maybe she is upset that someone criticized her brother, but still. We are all INDIAN fans nevertheless, and we will surely have a better season in 2009.

It's not their fault, Captains Dad, I thought I had said that up above. It starts at the top. My husband coached youth football for twenty years; Little League and Babe Ruth baseball for 25, and middle school basketball for 10 off and on. I have NEVER seen a practice like I saw with this team, this spring. Some critics will not identify themselves here, because, we are a relatively small town, and also a very gossipy town. A person complaining about a coach will not want you, or anyone elsementioning to a coach that someone does not approve of him. I think everyone on here knows that.

Again, sorry to offend captains. I know they are good kids who work hard, what I was trying to impress and what David Smith said in earlier blogs, was that it wasn't just the coaches fault this season it seemed to be a coach/team thing. David accepted his bad start as his own fault and not the coaches. My language, "so called captains" was uncalled for. What I should have said was "the Captains". It definitely hurt Captain 25 to hear the so called part. Again, I do not blame you captains, I just think the team as a whole should have been more serious at practices after having such a losing start. And as Captains, I think or thought you should lead this seriousness along with the coaches. You are Captains because you earned it and I will never try to take that away from you, and I know it hurt you to have a losing season to. I will disagree with your parent who says your Captains job is done once the season starts, I believe you are chosen as Captains because you are leaders and should and do continue to lead your team. It really doesn't matter what we all think and say now though does it because you are all going on to college and hopefully you will have great times ahead. Again, sorry to offend you and not to blame. Just trying to get the point across that it is a TEAM effort, coaches and players!!

This whole thing is way out of control and i would appreciate neither of my 2 children's names being brought up on this sight again Isn't this board suppose to be about baseball????? AS for Nicks' Language it was innapropriate but remember like I said before ANYONE who actually knows Nick KNOWS that the language he used was totally out of character. If you are as knowledgable about what is really going on then maybe you could give the kid a break when maybe he is at his breaking point. As I'm sure your children are perfect!

Wow, did I open up a can of worms. The REAL and ONLY POINT I was trying to get across is the majority of posts have been about these so called Freshman and from what most people who attend the games can see, there only 2 Freshman on the team and only 1 who is a starter. There are 7 to eight other players who are from all classes, sophmore, juniors and seniors. And Mondalto did bring Freshman up to so to say that this is the first coach who has done this is wrong. So what is the real problem with the team? Many things, not just one, it is not the Captains fault, it is not the players fault, it is not the coaches faul and it is not the freshman's fault, It is a team and coaching effort. I only meant to impress upon everyone that at some point the team has to take on some of the responsibility, AS A TEAM, whether it be during the practices or whatever for the way they actually play at each and every game. The coaches don't play the actual game. And yes Mondalto was quite different and a winning coach, but he also had 25 years so lets give this coaching staff a chance. Although I agree completely that they need to get more serious and tighten up their practices. I never meant to specifically call out one person or Captain as the issue, although it was taken that way. No one believes a Captain is responsible for the practices but as leaders they can certainly role model a serious and hard working practice. There will be issues with every coach no matter who it is because even when my son played 8 years ago there were issues. He was a freshman brought up and the crowd went wild!!!! People will always have their opinion, but I agree it doesn't help to blame anyone's child. I do NOT feel as though the response from Nick was inappropriate. He was only defending himself and his title from an inappropriate statement from me. And his sister is a wonderful sister who must really love her brother to defend him so. I still believe the practices should be much more serious and the players have some responsibility for that. They are not little boys anymore and are young adults that should take their positions on varsity more seriously as a whole team.

All of this trash talk between the parents and kids is crazy.If we all feel like we say about this coach why are you people not going to Elizabeth and complaining to her.Leave the kids out of it.At the beggining I brought up the fact that this coach was using Freshman over better players.It's not hte Freshman fault they are up there it is the coaches MISTAKE.I gave up watching the Varsity half way thru the Maso game and decided to go watch the JV'S and boy let me tell you the JV'S are a much better team to watch.They have a lot of very good players on that team even one that this coach cut at the start of the season.I would like to know what this coach see's in this Freshman catcher? The catcher on the JV team has a much stronger arm and he has proved it to me in the 3 games I have been too Maso game he threw out 2 and also picked 1 off of first, North Reading game he threw out 1 at second and 1 at third and yesterday he threw 1 out at third.Does this Varsity coach even check to see what any one else is doing.And to go along with what was said about the fooling around at practices it is a TRUE statement.I watched one practice where they were having batting practice and the kid was throwing from sitting down in a chair behind the L screen.Now how fast do you think this ball is coming at you.A Little Leaguer could hit that ball.This went on for over a half an hour I had to leave it was sicking to see such a practice at this level be run and the coaches were just sitting on the bench talking.It is not the kids fault it is the coaches and until they get turned in or caught doing something wrong nothing is going to get done and all of the supportes will either suffer thru it or just stop going to the games to watch.By the way when you go to the games at home do any of you notice that there are not any people standing at the fence watching.When coach Mondalto was there coaching there would be all kinds of people standing and watching the game.People we have the talent but what we need is a Coach.Start complaining to The AD maybe just maybe she will get tired of the BULL**** and get a coach that can control the kids and teach them discipline and the game like we use to have ONE OF THE BEST JERRY

All of you on this site with a baseball IQ of ZERO need to immediately cancel your subscription. Therefore everyone besides Nick and Walter should shutdown the computer and walk away or go blog about the football team. I was the captain when Nick was a freshman and I knew then he was a future captain of the AHS varsity. He has done nothing but live up my expectations as a player and a leader. Not to mention he is one of the nicest kids you will ever meet. Everyone who questions the work ethic of this team obviously has not paid attention for the past decade. The reason we have had so much fun and played so well in games is because we were able to keep it loose and have fun at practice. First of all, why are you parents watching practice? Let the kids play and stop watching over their shoulders. Although most of you haven't even witnessed practice, you are posting on this site based on hearing things through the grapevine. Get a life and leave these kids alone. They work hard the way we always have. If you have a problem with how practice is run then I'm sure you submitted your resume when there was a coaching vacancy. Anyone who has a comment about me or my former teammates can surely take it up with me on this site. -Deuce

This has to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. You people are attacking the baseball team for what reason? They're obviously doing their best given that they have to adapt to a new coaching method. Seeing as though most of your user names have "Indians" or "AHS" in them, you must be a resident of Amesbury, or were at one point. They're all having a hard time dealing with this, so what's harsh criticism going to do? Absolutely nothing. Indianfan, you do not have the place to tell anyone what to do. People are attacking Nick, and he's responding by getting upset, rightfully so. What has he ever done to you? Absolutely nothing. As for his swearing, I'm sure you've heard those words before, therefore my guess is that you're searching for any reason whatsoever to make him look as though he is a bad kid. I've actually heard your son say worse things in school. You're also attacking his little 14 year old sister, which is quite pathetic. Calling her a "freshie" when she's getting defensive that people are blaming her brother for something he cannot control is ridiculous. If you could not pick any of the Slevoskis out from a crowd, you should stop talking about them. I know them very well and they are possibly one of the nicest, most respectable families that I've ever met. You're judging them by the things they say when they're upset, and that's very immature. Mutha O 5, you have said nothing rational on this entire page. I guess I wasn't aware that "ass" and "bullshit" were trailer park talk, but you must know about trailer park talk better than I do. You're also an extreme hypocrite by telling Captains Dad to grow up, but then saying Nick needs a bar of soap for his mouth, and that he's a punk? You're attacking an 18 year old, so maybe you should grow up. You have said absolutely nothing about baseball on this page. Even though I haven't either, I am an Indian myself and the things you're saying are extremely offensive. And the fact that you won't come out and admit who you are proves to everyone on this page that you're a coward and you're simply on this to instigate. If you don't have a son on the team, why are you wasting your time, and everyone else's by posting comments that are making fun of others? You're clearly into football more than baseball, so do everyone a favor and take your rude comments elsewhere.

Nice try honey but you are just a LITTLE late. Conversations dead for a day or so. But since you mentioned it. Parents don't stay and watch practice, typically, however, good parents pick their children up and ask them how school & practice was. MINE do. And no we don't live DOWNTOWN and DO need the ride home. I am sure that when your son tells you that varsity is a "joke", and that he'd rather go practice with JV, then, it IS time for a parent to look into it. Some kids are actually SERIOUS about LEARNING their favorite sport. And I doubt VERY much that IndianFan26's son EVER spoke to an adult in the way that we have see some right here......EVER. I happen to know him well. You are a girl & can't possibly understand what is going on here with the baseball thing.. I doubt VERY much if yourparents have done what some have done on here to help kids/sports. That could be why yours are not concerned, and you are having such a hard time understanding all of this. Go play with some dolls or makeup or something.

I really hope you are not reffering to me in your comment. If your son thinks that the varsity is a joke and wants to play with jv then ask the coach to go get some playing time with them. I do not know of any coach who would hold it against a player for wanting to better themselves and get more innings at the jv level

Hahaha well that's possibly the most ignorant and sexist thing I've ever heard. Congratulations. Just because I'm a girl means I don't know anything about baseball? That's funny, I probably know just as much as you do. Once again, because I'm not a coward like you, I can reveal who I am. However, the only thing you can say is that I'm a girl and I should play with dolls and makeup? Good one. Try saying something intelligent next time.
