let me start out by saying that this weekend's games were great. SU and CNU both fought hard. Now moving onto the topic really at hand. Coach Anderson(sorry for saying his name to all of the people who dont want his name out here but lets be honest, you can find out who he is just about anywhere online) threatening CNU students. Maybe what people were saying was over the top(but that doesn't mean its not true, who really knows what happened), but calling out students and telling them to "bring your best 5"(which for those of you who dont know what that means, it means he wanted to fight). It was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. It is a shot to his character, him as a person, his family, and his program. That was completely out of line and then what i saw which might not have been noticed by anyone else but he then yelled at his player who was on 3rd base. It was a line drive to shallow CF and Shannon Mark made a great play and came up ready to throw. Anderson gave him a huge earful about getting back to the bag and tagging up. I wish he would have gone, because while Shannon has a good arm, he made the play about 30 feet behind the 2nd base bag and it would have been a double play. There are  times to yell at your players, but when you are pissed off at the fans of the other team(and grow up, its #1 v. #2, fans are going to say things, have some class), you dont have to take it out of the base runner, when he was actually in the right. So to all the SU fans out there that are going to try to break this down and say how wrong i am, let me say this, SU baseball program is a very good program but guess what, so is CNU's. There is a reason while we both at #1, and #2. And if you guys are going to tell me, 1, your fans dont stop yelling and 2, if this game was a home game for you guys, your fans wouldn't have acted the same way, then shame on you. Why cant we all just say that it was a great weekend, full of 2 great baseball games, and leave it at that. Why don't the fans stay in the stand, the coaches and players stay focused on the game, and leave it at that. Im done reading this message board cuz i know so many bias fans will come back with stupid comments and honestly, i don't believe have of the things written on here. I wouldn't have written this if the SU fans wouldn't have started this so congrats guys....who looks classy now. You took this away from baseball and now its about your coach's actions and our fans. Why dont you make a new thread and bash on CNU on there and keep this one about baseball? just a thought.......

You want to get on here and rant and rave about a topic that hasnt been talked about in the last 5-6 posts and then you want to play the "who looks classy now" card? Get out of here man, you're trying to stir up the pot again. Let it be...Numerous people were in the wrong this past weekend and it is what it is. Do yourself a favor and delete your account, as you're posts carry no meaning or legitimacy after a worthless post like your last. If I were a CNU fan i'd be proud to stand beside your "classy self"....ha, get real.

Great idea bud, come out and attack me personally. im glad you know who i am and you know me so well. Grow up. If its not an issue, let it go. if it is(which it obviously is to you cuz you are so pissed about it) then lets talk about it. Were you even there? Did you hear everything? There are a couple of options im gonna go with. you were on the team(and if you are, you shouldn't be posting on here. doesn't your coach advise against it?) #2 you are a parent and were on the other side and didnt hear any of it. you just know what other people said. Or 3, you weren't there. So which one is it? Im thinking #1 cuz im pretty sure i know who you are.

Ha, Well you're obviously way off and you have no idea who I am actually. Not on the team, not a parent, just a fan. Doesn't piss me off that you're bad mouthing Coach A for his actions. Heck, maybe he deserves to be scolded for his actions. All i'm saying is the situation had not been topic for conversation in the most recent 5-6-7 posts and i'm pretty sure everyone BUT YOU had decided to let it go. Obviously you have no class, coming on here just to bash the guy after it was said and done. I'm pretty sure I was telling you to let it go, if that's a personal attack then so be it. So, as I previously posted "Grow up" and if you're gonna keep posting on here, the least you could do is attempt to come across as someone with more than a 3rd grade education as you peck on that keyboard of yours  (now, that one may have been a little personal). Later guy.

ok matt. thanks for the feedback bud.


on to something i care about. what do you guys feel will happen with the polls for next since cnu just lost to bridgewater? do you think one game is deserving of a huge drop?

to Narch. Van Sickler is not MLB material. if he was that good he would not be playing DIII baseball. He throws 87 tops which any MLB player would take out of the ball park and he cannot hit 90+ hitting. NO way do i see him playing pro ball.

now I agree with the statement that Van Sickler is not MLB material. But to say its because he tops out at 87 is the worst statement i have seen on here. Many great pitchers did not throw hard and are very successful. You have to have a great off speed pitch to match your fastball, not just a 103 MPH fastball. It has nothing to do with that, might have something to do with the fact that he gets hurt, and his stats are good, but not amazing against d-3 hitters.  Kenny's stats were better than his, and kenny is still working hard to make it. Van Sickler has a change to be picked up by a team, but will be tagged with the "d-3 label" which will hinder him. Come on guys.

As much as it pains me to say, I have to agree that Shenandoah is hands down to South Region favorite right now. Until someone proves they can knock them off, in a tournament, then the title is in Winchester until it is taken away. SU plays at a whole different level in a "tournament" setting. That isn't saying they don't play at a high level or intensity during the regular season, because they 100% do. However, playing them in a tournament setting is tough.

As usual, the South Region will be fun to watch.

correction parker, SU is not the hands down favorite fro the South Region.......CNU just shut up Methodist, yes that's right, 0 runs in 2 games. Some may say im bias and that's fine but i've seen this team for 5 years now and and this line up top to bottom is more solid than i have ever seen. Yes we have had some amazing hitters at CNU over the years, but this lineup is outstanding. And yes, i know people are going to say that SU is ranked higher...personally I dont care. The #1 team in the nation has played 1 game, the #4, 11, 15, and 16 haven't even played yet. Its hard to judge teams that are 15-17 games in from a team that hasn't stepped on the field yet. SU is good, but to say they are the favorite is a huuuuuuge stretch. lets see what the SU fans have to say about that one.

No need to respond to a statement like that...we'll see who's who  come April 2-3 (That is if you guys are still in the hunt by then)! Better lace em up tight...pretty sure SU will be ready! But if I were to comment on anything about your entire rant about CNU and SU....i'm pretty sure SU's made back to back appearances in the D3 world series and based on the comparison of this years stats and the previous two years, SU is putting up almost the exact same numbers on the mound (if not better) AND they're offensive numbers have drastically improved (go look for yourself, archived stats are on SU's site). Guess I could make the same statement about this years SU team being better than any in the previous 5 years as well, huh...
But, it is only a month into the season...there are plenty of games to play...dont get ahead of yourself here CNU13 

Just a lil glimpse into the reasons behind my post...enjoy

thru first 11 games
Team Averages:

Offensive Stats:
10-11: .399 BA, 43 doubles, 6 triples, 17 HRs, 117 RBIs, Runs/game= 12.63
09-10: .321 BA, 19 doubles, 6 triples, 6 HRs, 85 RBIs, Runs/game= 9.36
08-09: .368 BA, 31 doubles, 7 triples, 10 HRs, 100 RBIs, Runs/game= 11.54

Pitching
10-11: 11-0, 3.26 ERA, .266 BA against, 42 runs against(33 earned)
09-10: 8-3, 4.27 ERA, .........?, 59 runs against(44 earned)
08-09: 10-1, 2.39 ERA, .......?, 38 runs against(22 earned)

I know the guys will be ready for that series. SU is a good team. They have to be to make the back to back WS appearances. And alot of thoes guys are tough outs. I have just 2 things to say about this. 1, i was just saying that SU wasnt the "hands down" regional favorite right now. and 2,) (not knocking you guys, just asking) how cuz you guys smashed ncw 15-0 when VS pitched and then won 20-10 when your number 2 threw? does it thin out past him or was it just a bad game for your other pitcher(s)?

how can you take SU's website seriously when on the stats page, it says


"Sortable team stats
-total offense
-passing
-rushing
-more stats"



this is not football guys. Someone should tell the communications director or something

What do you guys think???

Shenandoah, home field advantage.

while i have no idea where it will be, that is a terrible comment about SU having home advantage. I hope you are a fan of SU or have a child playing for them because if not, you jumped on the bandwagon. While they are a great team(not taking that away from them), it is always a fight this year and there are many teams who are playing worthy enough to take over the top spot in the USAS.

Haha, I would agree with the home field advantage point being made CNU13 but to go as far as to say "jumping on the bandwagon" is a bit over the top on your behalf! Last time I checked SU has made more appearances in the D3 College World Series in the last two years than CNU....So...until you step up to the plate and make something happen i'd watch what I asked for. I'm pretty sure SU will be paying a visit to good ole Newport News in a few months   

I am not taking anything away from SU. They are a great team, top to bottom. I cant wait till they make it to NN in April. Ill be there cheering on CNU as always but it'll be good to see the two top teams(as i view them) in the USAS and the northern region(both debatable, but remember these are my predictions. you can tell me i'm wrong and that you think differently but i'm clearing this up now, these are my predictions). It'll be a great region this year if the teams play this well. And i sand bandwagon fans it because i do not know the background of the people talking on here and much of the stuff sounds like a outsider fan. But if you have loyalty to SU, more power to you. You know where my allegiances lie, i'm just trying to start some smack talking.

You are correct. Greg and Kevin are both always in the mix for USAS POY. Let me correct my statement: Outside of the usual contenders (Van Sickler, Brashears, Ingram, Such), Shoemaker is holding his own right there at the top. That better ?

9INNDiamoned - I hope all is well your way. Let me know what weekend(s) you're heading down to CNU to catch some games.

Haha, I know what ya mean man. Just figured i'd take the opportunity to make a lil stab at ya! Hope all is well your way. BTW.....shouldn't you be working or something?? lol

haha yea Parker. shouldn't you be working? im just messing. CNU is hot right now. Watch out. Shoemaker for POY. Steel for FOY. If not for them both winning those awards, they will at least be the players of the week many times this year, you mark my words. Fleischman and Verdillo are throwing great this year. I think if CNU had one more pitcher like Chitsaz, they would be golden. And good luck to all USAS teams, make sure you beat whoever you all are playing out of conference to prove that the USAS is a major conference to contend with.

CNU is looking great this year, both on offense and defense. Some good moves from Harvell getting a few good young arms and building a deeper and versatile staff. Many pitchers will start and come out of the pen. Looks promising for Conf Tourney time.
