BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Tom Brady]

Congrats to Tom Vasella from Whittier.  He was the only guy from the SCIAC drafted this year.  I believe he was a 10th round pick and will join the Hirsch brothers as SCIAC guys that are currently playing with the Astros.  Best of luck to him.
Anyone know if there are any prospects for next year that might get a look from scouts?  I know the SCIAC is kind of down, but i am sure there is a few guys that will be looked at.

Vasella is a Junior.  What are his plans for 2007?

[Tom Brady]

Really.  I figured he was a senior.  I guess he will have a pretty big descision to make in the next few weeks

A Redlands football recruit, will also play baseball, QB, pitcher, Matt Wabby was named to the ALL CIF team today and nominated for all state by calhisports.

Ah hah ... having given up on trying to meet the verification standards to post this on the blog, you're resorting to the message board.

That's fine, everything on the message board is automatically supposed to be taken with a grain of salt.

[dawgs go deep]

Pat, you super sleuth you!!!!!!!!

I did email Gordon and gave him the info to verify what I posted on the blog. At that time, I didnt even know this message board existed.  I am glad it does...looks like a lot of fun.

I have all the admission info showing him going to Redlands.  I also gave him Maynards email.  I would feel really stupid asking the coach to have a press release ....I am not that kind of guy.

Anyway, I really am excited about the upcoming season(s)........I'm sure we will chat a bit during the season.  Talk to you soon.

[Pat Coleman]

I expect the school will be more likely to do a release when the whole class is in place.

[Tom Brady]

Wow, a Redlands fan on here.  Welcome.  Can the Dawgs put together another year like they just had and win back to back titles next year?

[dawgs go deep]

Rick,  I have no idea...this is my first year as a Redlands fan.....and got 4 more to go!

A parent, I assume.  Why stop after four years?

[dawgs go deep]

From what I see I probably wont.....my other daughter is at ASU,  we go to alot of those games and we always have a blast.  D3 looks to be just as much fun, just on a smaller level.

When do we start hearing about baseball people. Shed some light.

Oxy returns J-Dub and Justin Goltz in their pitching staff. How about Redlands and Cal Lu? What can you guys point out about their pitching staff or anything else?

Yes, DGI i already know that there will be one player that you know of in that pitching staff rotation. But, can u also shed some light on his style of pitching in H.S. that he was used to?

[dawg gone it]

BE,

It appears that the dawgs have a very strong group of returning players and from what I have been told quite a few freshman who are expected to contribute.  Looks like a good years for dawgs with bats and balls!

[Tom Brady]

Oh geez, DGI are you already over here on the baseball boards causing trouble

The SCIAC has been down the past few years.  A team that has not won the title in god knows how long dominated the conference last year.  I really dont know anything about Cal Lu except their new field is saaaaaweeeeeet.  They always have a ton of new players so who knows if they will go that same route or they will try and build some guys up. 

DGI- Your boy playing at UR?  If so, what does he play.  Might have to sneak out to a game and meet the man, the myth, the legend that is DGI

[Browneagle64]

Just to shed some light Wild thing and any other hopeful SCIAC baseball fans,

Cal Lu should return players that were young and quickly mixed in with vets who had made it to the super west regionals in 04( if i am not mistaken). Gone are the players from those small dominanting years, but these youngins did manage to learn from the best. In saying so, look for the kingsmen to battle Redlands for the top spot in SCIAC play. And yes, they have a field that will motivate them all season long.

If pomona starts of with the same freshmen that they had last year on their staff, it will be likely that these kids will be pulling off some big game. Yet, i doubt that they will make it to 1st place. Maybe next year.

Oxy returns several players that were a huge impact last year. The only problem with this team is that they happen to always loss coaches faster than they can improve their field. Expect to see two strong pitchers in Goltz and J. Williams. In addition, they return an infield that is decent and strong.

La Verne should be right at the top with redlands, but their programs always seems to fall because of failing to use their players correctly. (i.e. pitching). Yet, i personally expect them to go to the top this year. BUt only time will tell.

Should be interesting to see what the dogs can do. This years race to the top will not be as easy as last years debacle. I hope that they are ready to stay on top.
