I think this would be cool to see where people stand....

If you could make an OAC all star team... WHO would it consist of?  (NO BIAS OPINIONS)

2 Catchers Ryan Nordquist (Leads the OAC in runners caught stealing)
2 - 1b Reily Kreisher (Has 40+ RBI's)
2- 2b
2- ss Craig Knott (Power hitting SS)
2- 3b Nate McFarland
2- Lf Jason Isles
2- Cf Cody Kidd
2- Rf

8- Pitchers Paul O'Donnel, Brandon Fredericks, David Paddock, Paul Mariotti,

BE HONEST!!!  EVERYONE PLEASE TRY TO DO THIS!

I only have some of the positions down. I dont know the OAC well enough to give all the positions, anyone want to help?

Dr. Acula this question is for you, and anyone else who wants to answer.

We are now wrapping up the 4 round of games and heading into the weekend for the fifth round. Out of all the teams in the OAC who do you think will be the four teams in the OAC playoffs? And who are the teams that are on the bubble right now?

I know this is kinda off the subject. But how strong do you think this league really is, besides Wooster there are no good teams. Maybe thats why Wooster is always nationally ranked of their league. I dont know just a thought. It has to be one of the weakest leagues in Ohio. Don't the voters take that into consideration when voting?

Well, we might as well start talking about our first full slate of OAC games Saturday.  I'll be the sacrificial lamb and make my predictions first.

BW @ ONU -- Split.  Too close to call for me.
Marietta @ JCU -- Pios sweep again.  Nothing made me even consider JCU splitting this one. 
Musky @ Wilm -- Fish sweep.  The Quakers don't seem to be very strong this year.
MUC @ Cap -- Split.  I picked MUC to sweep last week and look what happened.  I'm saying split based on the reverse jinx coupled with Cap's pitching looking fairly solid against Etta.  That being said, MUC really NEEDS to sweep here.   
Ott @ Berg -- Berg sweeps.  This was the toughest call of the week for me.  I really think Ott has the pitching to win, but I know nothing about their lineup this year.  Berg is hot so I said eff it, maybe they'll sweep.


I well have to agree on all of these except i think BW will sweep ONU since they are pumped after a big win over Wooster, and they are playing with a chip on their shoulder from last weekend losing that second game to JCU. They have won 5 out of the last 6 games as well.

And i would have to say MUC will sweep Capital. Marriotti pitched his heart out last weekend earning pitcher of the week, and i think that will get them jump started to have a good weekend this weekend. They have a solid lineup and i think the flood gates are going to open with the bats on this game for MUC.

Congrats to BW for beating the number 7 team in the nation Wooster. The bats really came alive, they won 17-8... if the jackets keep playing like that they could earn a berth to the OAC playoffs

How does any team play without a pitching coach... Ohio Northern has NO pitching coach... what are reactions to this

I would try and talk to the coach or talk to the AD about that. See if they could bring in a pitching coach. If they don't agree about bringing in a pitching coach... then that might not be a program you would want to be a part of. But to answer your question I think its terrible that ONU has no pitching coach. Pitchers need some sort of direction. THey need a coach that can look at a pitchers mechanics and tell you when you are doing things right and things that you are doing wrong. Thats the only way a pitcher can get better is by having someone critique their mechanics. I have to ask you a question though... What pitcher would want to go to a school that doesn't have a pitching coach?

BW beat Case Western today 9-1. Good win for the Jackets! Luthman pitched a very good game. Nordquist threw 2 guys out one stealing second and the other he picked off at first.

Can BW still play for an OAC spot in the playoffs with a 1 and 3 record, and still having to go through the big three (MUC, BERG, Marietta)?

Hopefully all the OAC teams that didn't play over the weekend can get their games in.

BW beat Lake Erie today 12-8. Brian Boveington had a really nice game and Freshman Josh Scott pitched really well... its good to see good pitching performances from the young Jackets
#11
Marietta will sweep Cap
Heidelberg will sweep Musky
ONU will split with MUC
BW will split with JCU
Otterbein will probably sweep Wilmington*


*havent seen Otterbein in OAC play yet so not too sure

By the looks of what Dr. Acula posted it looks like BW is going to have to wake their bats up if the want to be in the OAC tourney ... Musky congrats on the sweep on the road
#13
Good luck to all teams today... hopefully the Ohio weather will hold out for all of them
