The Quakers sweep the USA South this weekend. Didn't see that coming did you? SURPRISE!!!

Guilford has bound to be getting some confidence going...and maybe they will be a surprise team in the ODAC this year.

maybe this is the year of the quaker.

Catfish...you just have to rain on the ODAC parade...don't you???

A win is a win but VA Intermont is stretching it.

They're NAIA, but I think it's NAIA Division II. Yeah, they give some scholarships, but the Appalachian Conference is not as big a deal as you may think. A lot of the schools probably have less than 700 students ... and they're coed. But, as you said, a win is a win!

Well, I'm a Guilford grad and I'm really glad the Quakers are 4-1 for the first time since 2001, but ...

... GC's given up 59 runs in five games! Without better pitching and/or defense, you can only go so far. (W 19-18, L 5-22, W 12-10, W 3-2, W 9-7) You won't win them all 19-18 with a walk-off homer!

Emotional highs only last for so long before the true colors come out...

already wrote this on the other board but since we're talking about it...

just some information so quaker doesn't go blow an O ring.
Guilford Team BA Prior to Greensboro Game, .393
Alex Phetteplace held them to a .250 BA for innings 8-9
I held them the quakers to a .227 BA for innings 1-6

even though you found a way to win, all I'm saying is that they can't hit good pitching.

ALSO, giving up 59 runs in 5 games... you have to try to do that.
averaging 11.8 runs per game with a team ERA of 7.0....(not including the Infinite ERA by Montalbano)

not quite sure quaker but i think this means that your defense gives up almost 5 unearned runs a game...
good job.

we'll take a good look at your record at the end of march....

Keep trying Manfro...someone will believe you

And that quote somehow means something...

The ODAC represented very well at the challenge over the weekend:

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Guilford College's baseball team completed a perfect weekend in the inaugural USA South/Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Challenge with wins over Greensboro College and Averett University Sunday. The Quakers improved to 4-1 for the first time since 2001 and were the unofficial challenge champions as the lone team with a 3-0 record in the six-team event. Bridgewater College and Randolph-Macon College both posted 2-1 records as the ODAC won seven of the nine games played in three different city venues.

I am going to have to agree with A.G. Quakers are giving up way too many runs. The offense is sure doing their part in putting runs on the board, but how long will Guilford keep scoring 10-12 runs per game. That won't last long. As the season goes on and pitchers start getting into their groves, good pitching and defense usualy beats good hitting.
NCWC felt to Guilford 12-10 Saturday. I was really impressed with Wooten and Starbuck. They swong the bat really well against good pitching. 8)

Well, ash grows in groves, I guess.

BoJam · February 18, 2009, 01:25:18 AM

You know them Guilford boys sure do have bats, but like yall said, the pitchings gotta get better, also I heard they're giving up alot of unearned runs, so is their defense letting them down too? Haven't gotten a chance to see them, but once, I'd love to get some feedback. Tanks. 8) 8) 8)
