Who got married?

Eddie, last played varsity in 06, only played fall ball that next school year.  I reread my last post and the whole point of that part was I was planning on asking coach what was going on but he did not show....

^^^ My friend has yet to hear anything despite Coach Hesse saying he'd hear either way so he just assumes he did not get it.  I went to a former players wedding last night and coach was supposed to be there but he did not show.

That's a little unprofessional.  If you're non-confrontational like Hesse, simply tell the candidates that you're making your decision by X day and only the selected candidate will be notified.  Don't tell people they will hear either way and then don't communicate the decision.  Of course, would you be shocked if he hasn't made a decision yet either?

maybe he announced the new coach by posting it on his board outside of his office and no one has checked it yet. Or for you more recent raiders, he may have emailed the decision out, but forgot to attach it.

Walther's Cafe from the Canton Class A league made it to the semis of the NABF World Series before bowing out.  Soon to be MUC asst. coach Ryan Armstrong was the team's manager as well as one of it's top players.

Outstanding! I hope he brings some new energy to the program!

[fundamentalswin]

You would think that getting your assistant coaches in place before fall ball commences would be a big time priority, but as usual it seems that Seven is again dragging his feet. 

Sorry to be the big negative one on here but Armstrong can try and bring all the energy in the world but if Hesse puts the Kabosh on it expect more of the same mediocre results coming out of Alliance this next year.  And we havent even begun to talk about what kind let alone the effectiveness of the new assistants.

I am also hearing some unconfirmed rumors that Ridgely is heading to Massilion to work under Gilhousen as the heir apparent to that HS program... however these are unconfirmed

[Dr. Acula]

I heard from a reliable person that Spike is going to Massillon.  That was probably a month ago that I heard that I think.

[Tinman]

I heard about Spike also however he is still listed as an asst: on the website.

Ryan Armstrong and Evan Agona named assistant baseball coaches for Mount Union

This just came out today. Here is the release from MUC's website

New information, unofficial, pertaining to coaches at Heidelberg.

It seems that Coach Fitzgerald has been rehired as a fulltime assistant coach.  I have'nt heard what
happened to his status in Pa.  We'll just have to wait for an official statement from Coach Palm.
Coach Piotrowicz is still slated to come back for his second season.

I'm not sure what it means, but when I read the release my reaction was....well, I didn't really have one.  Like I said, I like Armstrong and think he'll be a quality asst.  At the same time though it's so hard for me to get excited not because of who was hired, but because of who's not there.  As a fan I'm concerned about the departure of Gilhousen and while I think Agona and Armstrong can do a good job I also worry that they won't have the clout that Gilhousen had.

Watched a fall ball game at Mount Saturday, Saw Sabatino, Lambert, Hustack, and Douglass all pitch, a little rust on some of them but not bad considering some of them didn't play summer ball.  Douglass is trying to develop a sidearm devlivery he did well as the closer.  As you can expect hitting was a little off switching to wood bats, but Gearhart and Von Duyke both hit the ball hard.  They play again thursday.

Any word on Mariotti circulating at fall ball? 

Von Duyke can hit.  I think he's going to have a good year.  Not familiar with Gearhart.  I take it he's a SO/JR this year?

He had Surgery and is looking to start rehabing it Oct/Nov with the hopes of being ready for the spring.
