Any predictions on this years regional and seedings?  This is what I am thinking...


1. Cortland State
2. Brockport State
3. Farmingdale State
4. Western New England
5. RPI
6. Skidmore
7. St. John Fisher
8. Husson

Just a guess...

Guess I picked a bad day to attend my second Fisher game this season.  In regards to the 6th inning debocal that cost them the game, PSB had a hit and run on and Fishers 3rd baseman dropped what looked like an easy line drive that would have doubled the runner up at first and there would have been two outs.  It was painful to watch as NOT ONE ball that inning was hard hit, they were all bloopers and bleeders that found a hole.  Fisher was clearly the better team on the field, but that dropped line drive might have cost them big.  I am optimistic that Fisher is still alive if they are able to knock off the Red Dragons on Wednesday.  Don't think I will be at that one...might be bad luck.  Any predictions on the New York Regional Selections and Seeding?

Just checked the box score from the Ithaca Fisher double header yesterday.  Ithaca appears to have gotten lucky in the first game as the Cardinals committed 3 errors and lost the first one.  The second game looked completely different though as the freshman phenom Justin DAmato continued his all american type year and picked up his 9th win.  Fisher at this point almost seems like a lock to get in and if they didn't it would be a crime because they are easily the second if not first best team in the region.  Their resume in E8 is real impressive as they took 3 out of 4 against everyone except for the sweep of RIT last weekend.  Hope the committee realizes how impressive some of their numbers/wins are and gives them a bid.  This could be an interesting regional this year as it appears Fisher and Cortland could duke it out to go to Wisconsin.

My mistake wrongarm, I read it wrong on the Ithaca website, he was rookie of the year as a freshman and all tournament team at the regional last year-either way has got to be dissapointing.  I agree with you that Fisher appears to be a lot deeper this year.  It should be interesting to see how the rest of the games play out since it seems like it is make or break time for a lot of teams in the next ten days or so with all of this beautiful weather we have had in upstate NY this spring.

It appears that the preseason picks didn't pan out for the bombers this year in the E8.  I am sure they are a solid team but it looks like Fisher is now the team to beat.  Wasn't at the games this weekend but I see that Fisher clinched the E8 title for the 2nd year in a row.  The numbers at this point don't lie http://web1.ncaa.org/stats/StatsSrv/ranksummary.  I believe the conference player of the year (Barressi) transfered to Ithaca from Fisher over the winter if I'm not mistaken.  Wonder if there are any regrets there?

If you look ahead at SJF schedule they still have to play Oneonta, Ithaca (DH), Cortland, Penn St. Behrend, RIT (4), and a couple others.  I believe the way it works is that their SOS will get tremendously better as they play those games because I don't think SOS takes into account your entire schedule just the games that you have played.  Can someone clarify this for me?  I think a big problem for baseball in this region is that when you are making a schedule a year in advance you can't account for teams like Ithaca to be mediocre, you almost depend on them to help your SOS and in this case they did not.
