Thanks for the input Hammerball and RollTide. 

Another question after reading the Mid-Atlantic preview.  Everyone seems to be talking about the pitching that Hopkins has, but do they have any bats this year?  Who are they expecting a lot from offensively?

Well they return Jesse Sikorski who certainly qualifies as a big bat.  Sam Wernick is looking for a bigger role too after dominating the conference as a wide reciever in the fall.  I think Babb is looking for some more production out of Steve Bejsiuk after his impressive 2nd team all conference run last year.  In reality though, the way hopkins is, Babb always seems to find guys who just rake... plain and simple.  If the pitching is as good as it should be, Hopkins should have no problem going undefeated in conference again this year.

Hopkins' Youchak was named Player of the Year.  Congrats to Brian!

He actually allowed a homer in his last outing bonesaw, but your point stands. 

Anyone want to put their all-american teams?

Don't forget Greggy Harbeck for Pitcher of the Year!

How about Alex Eliopoulos from Hopkins for Pitcher of the Year?  I saw him throw in Trenton the other day and man was he impressive, and the stats back that up.

Eric Fritz- UW- Stevens Point, More than likely going to win WIAC player of the year.  Solid SS and great hitter with speed.

Stats just don't stack up....

Will the (poor) strength of Greenville's schedule hurt Neece's bid for player of the year?

Looks like they got more than the 4...

I believe there is a 3rd pitcher spot this year.

Who are some of the possible DIII draftees this year?

As I can see you are quite the homer Hip2Hip...

Hopkins = #1

It's about time right?
Let's see:
  they rake.
  they drop bombs (the little guy and centerfielder who's name slips my mind will combine for 30+ HRs by end of year)
  defense has improved tremendously (contributions by the juice-box guy = $)
  outstanding young pitching only getting better
  they rake.
 
If these aren't true statements I don't know what are.

What are your picks for All-Conference Hip2Hip?

What about Hopkins catcher John Swarr?  He's having another monster year too!

We get a good week of baseball to end the regular season.  Really interesting non-conference matchups throughout the week against talented area teams (e.g. DeSales, Rowan, Montclair, Shenandoah) will give us some insight into how the Centennial Conference stacks up in the region.  Then on Saturday, #1 and #2 will slug it out in Baltimore and Washington and Muhlenberg will go head-to-head for the final playoff spot.  The weather looks good for this time of year.  I don't know what else to ask for.

Not so sure about a slugfest b/w 1 and 2 but the Wash v Muhl DH should be pretty tense.
Congrats to Swat for 1st CC playoff appearance.  Coach of the Year vote for Coach Exeter.

What are your picks for All-Conference?

Congrats to the Big Dawg of JHU for an outstanding performance today! Bejsiuk is on fire, tacking on another 3 homers to his original 4 before today.  Look out former CPOTW, Dave Kahn, BF is barking his way up the rankings!

Yes I heard from a friend who goes to a lot of JHU games that Bejsiuk had another monster day.  Where does Coach Babb find these kids?
