BB: ODAC: Old Dominion Athletic Conference

HighHeat · February 22, 2009, 06:05:33 PM

I understand that Guilford has won eight games but look at who four of their wins are against...Case Western Reserve and Southern Virginia. I mean come on...

VWC splits with Alvernia. RHP Nick Pisula complete game two-hitter. Bulman struggled in the first game..again. This is starting to make the Marlin nation a little weary. This is a guy that should be dominating Division I hitters and he is really struggling right now. I guess if you look it, his problems lie in his control. 13 walks in 10 innings... $:-\$

LC just completed a 4-1 week with a 3-1 win over Methodist down at Fayetteville. Connor Thompson went 8 1/3 for the win. This moves the Hornets to 6-3 on the season.

Bulman changed his arm slot from last year. He is coming more from the side this year and seems to have lost of few mph's on his fastball. VWC nation better hope he finds that arm slot again.

That's usually a sign of an arm injury, the kid's probably hurt.

His arm slot has changed the past two years actually. It is totally different from when he played in HS. It just keeps getting lower.

Besides Salisbury and CNU, the south seems to be wide open.

I realize the Quakers' pitching staff is still struggling with a 7.03 ERA, but their opponents' ERA has been 9.87. They are winning baseball games. Point blank. You all can keep saying that pitching will be their demise, but winning a game 15-13 means the same as winning a game 2-1. They are 8-3 and they are batting .403 as a team. Pretty impressive in my opinion. As for their weak scheduling, they have Ferrum and ODAC rival Lynchburg this weekend. I guess we'll see how good we are. Should be fun!!!

Are you going to be at the games Sat or Sunday, fq1?

fightingquaker1 · February 23, 2009, 09:46:44 PM

Haven't decided if I'm going to make the trip up to Lynchburg on Saturday. Sunday is down here. So, there is a good chance I'll be there....

ODAC play starts this weekend with three match-ups:

VWC @ HSC
W&L @ E&H
LC @ GC

The Guilford Quakers got a rare 3-hit complete game from Corey Landis today at Ferrum to win 11-5. Drew Gurkin, Kyle Wooden, Drew Ward and Terrance Penn all got 3 hits for GC ... Ward had a grand slam. GC improves to 9-3 while FC drops to 6-4. The Quakers are a surprising 4-0 this year versus the USASAC.

A.G. · February 25, 2009, 08:29:29 PM

The Quakers are playing like they're for real...and may be the surprise team in our part of the region so far.

The weather is also looking rather rough for the LC games on Sat and Sunday.

The loss to Methodist may prove to be detrimental to VWC for its chance to get an at-large bid later in the year. The monarchs are one of the teams they will be fighting with. It just seems like that is the case every year. Bisplinghoff was again impressive. He shut VWC's hopes at an at-large bid down in '06 with a gem in Va. Beach.

Bulman is really struggling. I figure that Coach Boothe may not even use him to start this weekend in the conference opener. I figure they throw Pisula and Baker in the opener against HSC.

A.G. · February 27, 2009, 05:13:02 PM

Guilford at LC scheduled for Saturday is canceled due to the expected bad weather. No make-up date has been announced, and Sunday's game is still tentatively on, as scheduled...but I'm not holding my breath.
