Yatzee,
Welcome to the SLIAC board!

brown noser.

Based solely on record, it appears that the Greenville Panters have a heckuva squad this year.

Which SLIAC team's homefield has the cleanest restrooms?

Doooby Dooooby Dooooo!

I'm sorry.  Why is my karma -47?

Dubuque kicks rear end!

"pretty to replace"?  Learn how to type.

OK bigtough idiot here you go.

Lets start by saying webster lost 12 athletes at the end of last year which is going to be pretty to replace.  enough said there.. try and jump off the bandwagon for a minute.

Greenville- They lost two huge players. As well all know Neece is gone.. which is GREAT for everyone in the league except Greenville, and they also lost leefers who was an all conference player. HOWEVER they return 5 solid starters including Hobar who hit .327 last year and was second on the team in hit behind neece. They also host an impressive freshman class composed of 18 athletes.

Westminster is going to have it rough next year, and yes i said NEXT YEAR when the lose coach Pritchard... But all the more reason to go out with a bang. again they lost some key players but everyone did. they have a large team in 31 players, 17 of which are upperclassmen and a majority of them are home grown (there for their whole career). They are returing Gibbs who has some of the best wheels in the league (16-19) lastyear in stolen bases and  Reynolds who hit 7 bombs last year.. Im sure coach Pritchard would like to see his average go up a bit since last years .299 B.A. but thats what the off season is for.

And finally Blackburn.. You can only go up from a 9-27 season and they have a few guys that are going to help them do that. They are a young team but they do return one star in Jake Jurczak who his 7 bombs last year and was first team all conference. They are also returning a pretty solid hitter in NICK Cronin who just two years ago was among the hardest in the NCAA to strike out. In the SLIAC balls in play mean people are moving around.. the more the ball is hit on the ground the more chance there is to get on base.. anyone can catch a fly ball. They also return a pretty solid starter in Andrews. Lets be honest the starting pitching was terrible last year, but look for a much better year for Andrews and expect some other guys to get some innings.. Losing Eilerman will hurt them, but im sure they will find someone to fill the void..

Hope thats enough info for now. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will be sure to get back to you with some educated responses that are fully detailed for you.

Webster's Victor Valdez is having the game of a lifetime.  A solo shot in the first, and now a 3-run tater in the 8th!  Webster now up 7-1 with just the ninth to go.

"Game of a lifetime" may be a little of an overstatement.  If he had 1 or 2 HR's on the seaon, it would be a little more surprising.  Valdez had 14 HR's coming into today's game.

Two games is the max in a day. The same thing happened last year in the Central Region and games were pushed into the following day.

Looks like the regional website is mistaken.  According to that schedule, a team could possibly play 4 consecutive games tomorrow at 10:00, 1:30, 5:00, & 8:00.  I thought that sounded absurd.

QuoteThis award is nothing like NCAA DIII Player of the Year.  It says he was the best player out of a group of mostly lousy baseball schools.

I realize that Neece is probably not going to receive the NCAA DIII Player of the Year, but to say the schools who choose to include a membership in the NCCAA are lousy baseball schools is far from the truth. Many of them are NAIA schools and the ten schools currently playing in the NCCAA World Series in Mason, OH have sent 42 players on to play professional ball. What is so wrong with a person trying to acknowledge and recognize accomplishments by the players on their favorite college team? You never did answer what your connection to Webster U. was. If you would check my profile, you could easily determine by my e-mail address that I am the father of Matt Leefers, Greenville pitcher for the last four years. You choose to hide behind your posting name.

I have a serious question now that I know who you are.  Why did Massengill start game one of the SLIAC tournament?  That is an honest question because I think it was a huge coaching mistake not to throw your #1 (Matt) in game one.  Did they think they could squeak by Fontbonne and save Matt for Webster in game 2?

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

SLIAC Player of the year is a possibility, but not National POY.

He was named as the Player of the Year for the NCCAA Division I.

Dude, give it a rest.  Greenville had a nice season against an extremely weak schedule.  Pat yourself on the back and sit back & watch some very good teams battle it out in the regionals.  What the hell is NCCAA anyway?

National Christian College Athletic Association - Not surprising that you had no idea what it was but I will pray for you.

This award is nothing like NCAA DIII Player of the Year.  It says he was the best player out of a group of mostly lousy baseball schools.  Why don't you go to church and pray that your team is good enough to make the playoffs next year.

Big Poppa...your preview also said that Webster was one of the few teams in this regional that played in the post-season last year.  Webster did not play in the post season last year.

I really am surprised they didn't move either Stevens Point or St Thomas down to this regional.  I did guess that Rose Hulman would be placed here So I was half right. 

I see a lot of posting about Webster, but I still am not sold on them at this point.  Could easily loose to Ripon in the first game.   Agree with Big Poppa on Rose Hulman. They could be a force.  Have played and beat some pretty solid teams this year, but did slump toward the end of the regular season. 

I am going to pick Illinois Wesleyan.  Don't as me why.  Just have a feeling.

I look at Webster kind of like Butler in the NCAA basketball tournament this year.  They have been to the playoffs several times recently and even made some noise in 2008 (lost in extra innings in the regional final).  This year they finally have a little buzz about them coming into the tournament.   Not to mention that the latest ABCA poll today has Webster ranked #22 in the country, higher than any other team in this regional.  North Central and Buena Vista are ranked #26 and #30, respectively.  Rose-Hulman was also receiving votes.
