They didn't get the memo that there is a board.

by the looks of the action on this board it looks like no one got the memo

Maybe they are too embarrassed that they just split a series with UofMN-Morris, a lowly member of the UMAC.

looks to me like they saved their pitching for games that mattered

3) Carleton 6-4 (Games Left: Mac, St. Thomas, Concordia, Bethel, Olaf)
Carleton will not make the playoffs.  At best they split with Macalaster, Concordia, and Bethel and get swept by Olaf and Thomas.  They may finish 12-8, but that is a long shot for them and still in the past 12-8 isn't a shoe in either.

My Predictions
1) St Thomas 17-3
2) St. Olaf 14-6
3) Bethel 13-7
4) Mac 13-7
5) Augsburg 12-8
6) Hamline 9-11
7) GAC 8-12
    Johnnies 8-12
    Concordia 8-12
    Carleton 8-12
11) St. Marys 1-19

Let me know what you think.  The math might not add up, I did it all in my head.  There will be a fight for that 3rd and 4th playoff spot.

I am waiting for an updated explaination on these picks.

I was at the Thomas /Carleton game. I heard the officials talking in the parking lot as they were putting their equip. for the game. They were discussing whether or not Thomas would be upset at the umpiring assgnments as the season drew closer to the end........now I get it, the umps care what Thomas thinks!!

Thomas was darn lucky to get out of there with a win.

No way Kacz should be Player of the Year with his current stats, I don't think stolen bases is enough for the title.

The Top Four is wide-open at this point.

I see that Carleton College has two players listed on the 2009 "Players to Watch" list.The list  was chosen by NCAA Division III baseball coaches across the country, and spotlights a select group of student-athletes at each position. The list is included in the January 2nd issue of Collegiate Baseball, a newspaper that covers all levels of college baseball.

Guevin and Melson were both All-MIAC honorees last spring. Guevin paced the pitching staff in wins, innings, ERA and strikeouts. Melson hit .389 with seven home runs and 32 RBI.
They are among 11 baseball student-athletes from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) to land on Collegiate Baseball's list. The others are: Augsburg College junior catcher Craig Henry and junior pitcher Sam Weber, Bethel University senior pitchers Travis Adams and Ben Turnwall, Hamline University senior shortstop Dan Kaczrowski, St. Olaf College senior third baseman Nick Fuerst and senior pitcher Todd Mathison, and University of St. Thomas senior third baseman Dan Leslie and junior pitcher Matt Schuld.

From what I have seen in the last two years St. Thomas will have no problems being in the hunt. Its the same as Cretin at the high school level, you almost always have 7 on the court.

Drake - I noticed that Carleton's roster has expanded by 2 so that they now have 12 players listed.  I don't know if they picked a couple up out of the gym or whether they're actual recruits.  CMOB would probably have a better idea.

Carleton picked a couple players off open gymn for practice players. They are hurting at the guard position, with two guards nursing nagging injuries and no one else with any minutes. I don't see how miacfan55 has them ranked 3rd, but we'll see shortly.

This is weak sauce fellas!  The coaches release their Coaches' Pre-season Poll & we're still missing rosters from Bethel, Hamline & SJU.  And to boot, the Johnnies release their season preview & guess what - no flipping roster.

1. Bethel (10)
2. Gustavus (1)
3. St. Thomas
4. (tie) Carleton
5. (tie) Saint John's
6. Augsburg
7. Concordia
8. (tie) Macalester
9. (tie) St. Olaf
10. Saint Mary's
11. Hamline

Now I understand the coaches' near unanimous pick of Bethel for 1st place (who picked against them?!?) but the Gusties 2nd & UST 3rd along with rest of the picks?? Mebbe the coaches had their student trainers fill out the ballots this year.  Sheesh 

I would switch #4 and #9 and move STJ into the #3 position



1. Bethel (10)
2. Gustavus (1)
3. ST J
4. ST O
5. ST T
6. Augsburg
7. Concordia
8. (tie) Macalester
9. CAR
10. Saint Mary's
11. Hamline


Take this revised list to Vegas with you

So I did my due diligence again today but no additional MIAC rosters have been posted.  Com'on SID's!!  Only Carleton, STO, and SMU.  Carleton is up to 12 guys though.  One is from NYC??? 

Rumor has it that CAR went down and picked up a couple players from the IM open gymn for help in practice numbers.

(One of the coaches had to step in and play during intersquad.......some nagging injuries barking again.)

I will post my picks soon but will predict up front that Bethel will have 2 conferences losses.

Carlton played in the championship game this past summer at the league held at Jefferson. Is that a predictor of success in the regular season? How important is preseason league play?

The Jefferson league is 1 pass then shoot at best, no D, no set roster, just summer ball to keep some skills going until school starts.
