After the two light shots early on the right lane, Barnes softened his speed on the next two to get the ball to face the pocket properly. He got a little too soft in the 9th on a surface with a lot of friction and paid the maximum penalty. Not too much to discuss.
Mika's launch angle was all over the place early and Barnes got way better carry than he deserved. I'd call the whole thing a wash.

He's been performing pretty well lately. He was in the round of 8 last week (I think). Finals today. Hopefully the points will be enough for him to keep his exemption for next year.
He was 41st in the points before today's show. The top 39 get exemptions for next season. Today's showing should put him over the top, but there are still 3 weeks left to go. Anything can happen.

Sure he threw a bad ball on his fill, but the ball before went really high. Whether he moved a little deeper or didn't catch the release, the ball didn't react like he expected. It wasn't like he missed his mark by a bunch. But over the years, his poor shots have always paid maximum penalty. If one of those shaking pins fell, he would have been no worse than a tie. Simard bowled great, but how many really solid pocket hits did he have? I know the really high rev guys carry the light hit well, but a lot of really light hits kept him in the matches. How many times did he yell for his ball to wheel because he missed his break point only to have it rip back and carry. He did leave two really solid 10's on good pocket hits. His future looks bright and hopefully he'll get his first title soon.

Barnes versatility saved him this time, whereas other times it has gotten in his way. Two different balls, two very different lines, and two completely different releases on the way to the title. I know many here don't like him for some reason, but he's a heck of a bowler. He probably had the worst look considering the lane conditions today. Mika's strength is loft, and Simard and Mallot can get super deep and wheel the lane with the best of them. Barnes isn't any slouch in the rev department, but he's not going to keep up with the real crankers when the heads get torched.

Barnes won. Get it. He won. That means he did what was necessary to win. That is what counts. If he had missed and lost, this discussion may be relevant. But, BARNES WON.
That means he knocked down more pins then everyone he played against. You don't get there by luck. Although everyone gets a break now and then, if you want to call it a "break". He through the ball, every last shot, and he won. So, stop hating.

Post by: Necromancer on March 03, 2008, 12:45:17 PM
The point is is that Barnes got lucky. I am still tired of people defending him and then saying how he is better than all of us. No really? And? I swear bowlers have some mindset unlike every other sport when it comes to criticism. Every comeback is how the player is better than us.
When watching NFL, MLB, or whatever sport you watch, don't start making fun of a guy when he has a bad night. That is all I got to say about that unless you want to be a hypocrite.
Also, him making the show is one thing. It is clear Barnes is probably in the top 3 in the world. But it is like the actor that never made it to hollywood - all because he forgot his lines when under pressure. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mika choked twice---2 4 board tugs when he only needed a mark.
To be fair, as great as Simard threw it---he needed only a mark in match 1. I mentioned to my dad, with the angle he develops, he could easily leave a 3-4-6-7-10---or something like that. Of course he goes up and leaves only a 3 pin on a big miss in. Could have been the same baby split Mika left---then he caught the very inside of the 3 pin on the spare.
Then in the finals, he makes 1 great shot. Then again---pulls the ears off one and does leave the baby split. Simard made a good showing---not great. He may throw it great and get a "mitt-full" (If I had to hear that one more time...) but his showing was adequate. He made some good adjustments---but he is a professional, thats what he's supposed to do.
There you go, theres some equal opportunity bashing. Malott was hooking it too much. I know that surface hooks, but his equipment just puked when he asked it to hook a little more. There I hit everyone.
