BB: WIAC: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

One thing I don't quite get is how you give a pitcher a one game suspension and position players multiple game suspensions.  It just doesn't add up to me....  

Thrun didn't miss anything because he is a starting pitcher whereas Warwick has to miss three games.  Anyone else find that odd?  There is a reason starting pitchers get five game suspensions in MLB so that it actually means something instead of just being able to flip the rotation and avoid the penalty.

As far as the Fadness' go, there could be three of them before all is said and done, as there is another one who is a Junior catcher at Eau Claire Memorial this year.  He was a 1st Team All Conference selection last year as a Sophomore.

And I love the Oshkosh against the world stuff. I'm sure the UWO players and Lechnir do too. Everything is right with the world when the whole conference hates Oshkosh.  It's just like the good old days before Whitewater and Point knocked UWO off the WIAC mountain top.

I know it's music to my ears!!!!!!

Platteville and UWS split today only reason i mentioned it was because UWS was down 7-0 after 8 1/2 in game 1. UWS then scored 9 runs in the bottom of 9 on a three run walk off homer to win 9-7.
Only 3 of the total 16 runs scored were earned.

WIAC Standings (Through 4/28)
*Whitewater 17-3
*Oshkosh 16-4
*Stevens Point 15-5
La Crosse 8-12
Platteville 8-12
Superior 4-16
Stout 4-20

*Clinched WIAC Tournament berth

What this means.....

-If Whitewater sweeps Point next week, they are the WIAC Champs.  If they win 3 out of 4, they clinch a tie for the WIAC Championship.  If they split, they need Platteville to win at least one game against Oshkosh to still get a share of the WIAC title.  If Point takes 3 out of 4, they finish tied with Point, however Point would hold the tie-breaker, unless Oshkosh splits with Platteville in which the three way tie-breaker would come into play and Oshkosh (5-3) would be the #1, Point (4-4) #2, and Whitewater (3-5) #3 after the head-to heads.

-Superior needs to sweep La Crosse and hope for Oshkosh to sweep Platteville which would result in a three-way tie for the #4 spot.  Superior would get the nod to the dance by virtue of their 5-3 head to head record (Platteville 3-5, La Crosse 2-6.)

Did I miss anything???

That will be a tall order for UW- Whitewater to sweep as they play 2 double hitters against the Pointers.....

Oshdude, I have a couple of questions for you, you can answer or not.
Heard Fadness took out one of Superior's catchers, and he also got hurt, is this true?
Also heard that Lechnir congratulated his players on the brawl(Don't want to believe this one) true or false?
Don't want to stir up any hard feelings, just curious. I also respect you for your knowledge and seeming to be a decent person.

That is true, force out at the plate and went out of the way, catcher ended up with a fractured leg....was pretty intentional....

and all the runs were scored with 2 outs....was quite the scene and apparently fsn was taping the games as well...

So Fadness has ended the season of two players.  He had a hard slide/collision at the plate down here too.  The umpire ruled it legal but it was right on the edge and could have gone either way.  Fortunately no one was injured.

Depends on if Bloom broke his wrist on Fadness' slide or when he was throwing punches.....  If he did it throwing a punch, pretty hard to blame Fadness for that.

Man - no love for Steven's Point this week.  With a record of 221-10 you'd think they'd move up more than three spots.

No wonder their pitching staff is tired.

Sorry to break it to you, but the fractured wrist was because of the collision NOT the punches he may or may not have thrown.

Can I ask how anyone would know?

Your comment makes Bloom following Fadness towards his dugout all the more puzzling.....  One would think that a guy with a broken wrist as the result of a collision would be writhing in pain and not too concerned about "getting even."

I would think that Bloom should have an idea when it happened. And as for being in pain, everyone has their own level of tolerance. And he did come out in the next inning to catch.  Following Fadness and the next batter had to do with them talking trash to Bloom.
Again, I would assume he would know seeing as it involved him. We all have our own opinions about what happened, and a right to defend our teams. Fact is still, Fadness was ejected for an illegal take out of Bloom, and Bloom still has a fractured wrist. And don't forget this is quite a rilvary, so emotions were running high.

It doesn't make any difference anyway.  There wouldn't have been a fight if it weren't for the slide.  You can't treat the two as isolated incidents.  I've broken my wrist three times.  It hurts  but, depending on the severity of the break, you may not be withering in pain and if your adreneline was flowing you could easily follow someone and be oblivious to any pain.
