Some speed in the WW outfield?

My only concern is he said he chose WW in part because of its "great journalism program." Too bad he didn't choose the "best journalism program," which is at Oshkosh.

Maybe their outfield was already full. I'll let you explore which was more important for a kid transferring from D-I with one year of eligibility left.

Do I really need to use smiley faces? Turn it down a notch.

Just saying...transferring does not help with regard to academic progress if you keep the same major. So the academically most responsible thing to do would have been to stay where he was, and that he's transferring with one year to in a degree program tells me that there were other reasons, which seems fairly obvious.

I guess I just picked up on an empty BS quote and called it out for what it is.

What's BS and empty is your capability to see a intrastate jab when you see one. Why be difficult? Because you can? Lame.

Nowhere was I even remotely writing about what you are now writing. You can go on having an argument by yourself, debate captain.

The question still remains to be answered, who are the players in the WIAC  that I should see play as I travel across the state? Anyone who knows players from their area or from a team they follow, please respond. The WIAC has always been full of talented and entertaining players and coaches and I enjoy taking in a lot of games.

Speaking of questions that remain to be answered, just what internal problems at WW were you referring to, and did the pitcher we have been talking about have surgery, and if so, how is he doing? (100% I hope)

Just found this DB and am glad to see like minded people interested in D3 Baseball.  I wondering what access there is to broadcasts of Baseball games in the WIAC via radio, internet or TV.  I just got DishTV because they carry FSN- North.  I understand FSN - Wisc will carry some games but don't see that as a channel option.  Any one got any resources or way of getting FSN- Wisc using on-demand services?

Anyone notice any suprise additions to WIAC rosters this year?

Any impact freshman or transfers on rosters?

Point: Soph OF Sam Spurney, a transfer from Oshkosh, could play a key role this season. Also liked frosh OF Jared Surman when he played in high school.

Platteville: Don't know if he'll get much time this year, but frosh IF Brett Benesh is a nice addition.

Oshkosh (EDIT): Frosh OF Blake Berger should hit a ton. That guy can rake.
I see frosh P Evan Matson getting meaningful innings.
Frosh 2B Nolan Fadness should win the starting job (with Kyle Kannenberg moving to 3B). In time, he could be better than his brother, Mickey.
There are a few other frosh pitchers who will have to get innings, but I can't pick out the best among the bunch.

Whitewater (EDIT): MATC junior transfer Steve Hedgepath should get some innings.
Junior P/OF Joe Munn was drafted in the 30th round out of HS, so I'd expect him to be a contributor.
Frosh P Jason Hooper is large and throws hard, but I don't know where he is in the pecking order. My guess is he's a year away from contributing.
Frosh 1B Tom Zimmerman is probably a year away as well, although he was a monster in high school, hitting nearly .500 with decent power potential.
Ditto for frosh P Bryant Ganser, who was a stud in HS with a 10-1 record in 11 starts, 1.10 ERA, 110 Ks in 72 IP and 34 hits allowed.

I know nothing of the mostly Minnesota and western Wisconsin recruits who are at Stout, Superior and La Crosse. Anyone have an opinion on those guys?

These will be some great additions for UWS.
Bouvine and Hedley brothers will be great additions and wouldnt be surprised if they go directly into the starting line up/pitching rotation.

Tim Bouvine could be a #1 starter considering he started his career at a D1 school. Dont really know what happened to him for a couple years because he is older.

[Slinger45]

Bouvine and Saufley will be the 1 and 2 starters, order yet to be determined.
Hostrawser would be in the group as well, but is rehabbing from injury and should start the year in the pen.
3B is probably the deepest position on the roster and there will be a lot of competition with others moving around to get their bats in the lineup as well.

Bouvine had labrum/rotator cuff surgery so that is the reason he is older.

Dont know Saufley, but Bouvine was pretty good in high school and threw with pretty good velocity from the side if i remember correctly. Be interesting to see if his surgery affected that.

I think Eddy Morgan is doing a great job and has that program going the right direction

Haha well its weird for me talking in the third person so I might as well let the cat out of the bag that im Tim....where you from MIAC?
