BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

YO

West is weak.  Chapman has its work cut out.  They are still the best in the west. Friday will be the answer.  Do you want to know if the West will be Chapman ? Friday will answer that question Cal Lue  is the  team that will give you all a reason to hope Chapman will or will not advance.  I think that for the first time in 10 years Chapman is not the over powering team its  been. However as the team learns its idenity its still the best team I have seen this year.  Is the west weak ? Yes. This week will set the stage for a SCIAC TEAM TO FINALLY TAKE THE CROWN. The bummer is that The Panthers could still show us that there down year is still better tan the SCIAC TEAMS. The outcome of the weekend games will only tell if the Panthers are vulnable to defeat of the SCIAC teams. A Chapman team in a down year is still  a  team that is equal to a SCIAC team.  My guess is that The Panthers will show all you Panther haters that Coach T will WIN with again not the best talent but with the smarest Baseball Players and the best Coaching.

Unfortunately Hedman is a senior this year, so 30 more this season would be pretty tough. Still  is having an outstanding run though. Really says something about Cortez's feat too... 17.5 HR's a year for all four years!

My mistake.  Guess I was looking at the 2008 roster when I saw that Hedman was a junior.

And, yes, Cortez was impressive.  From day 1.  That will be a tough record to break.

Wow CLU is not the team I have been reading about. They are still #1 in the BUSH Baseball.  "Thats all you got", Thats it" is all I heard from the bench players as Wade made them look silly They will be in the outfield Saturday as they are the Best Hecklers in the West.  Try playing catch.  La Verne will win the SCIAC

And this is a great way to show some class for your school.  Chapman beat them pretty bad, which has been the case the last 6 years, so it shouldn't come as a shock to you.  Cal Lu has always had a bunch of loud mouth guys on the bench and that will never change.  I guess I just figured someone that is so worried about them being bush league wouldn't come on a message board to promote it.
One game, thats all it was.  CLU could come back tomorrow or Chapman could take both, who knows?
La Verne will not win the SCIAC.  They are 0-4.  It's over for them.

This has not been much of a series for the last 10 years.  I don't know what it is, but Cal Lu does not play Chapman well.  Cal Lu did not look good today.  They do have a couple of big guys in the middle of their order that can swing it, but they didn't seem to have much outside of that.  Gelber was not impressive.  He doesn't throw hard, although he does have some movement.  Chapman hit him very consistantly all game.  With another well timed hit the game could have been even more out of hand.  There were a lot of mistakes in the game.  Cal Lu had had 5 errors, 3 runners picked off, and another bad baserunning mistake with a runner taking off for third on a grounder to short with 0 outs.  Chapman made an error and had a runner picked off too.  It wasn't a great game on either side, but Chapman outplayed Cal Lu in all aspects. 

Tommorrow should be telling for both teams.  If either team wants to do anything in the playoffs they have to prove they can beat a good team without their best arm.

I didnt come on to say thety were bush.  Relax.  My thoughts were that they are not the team to beat in the West  Oldschool Baseball has no room for Bush.  Just a 52 year old Baseball Junkie that has a oldschool attitude on the Bush part of that game. Relax Jackie relax. One game at a time I agree with you. Wow SORRY for pissing you off . Thats not what Iam about . Leave the hecklers at home you will get the respect that you have earned.

Read my post and you will see that you are out of line to think I came on the board to promote anything but a positive passion for D3 baseball.  I forgive you Jack and Respect your Baseball Passion.

Wow CLU is not the team I have been reading about. They are still #1 in the BUSH Baseball. 

I guess I read this wrong.  My bad.

Either way, what UtilityCat said is dead on.  Since 2000, Chapman has pretty much owned Cal Lu.  It seems like every time they play, Chapman plays very very well and CLU plays bad.  I am by no means saying that is the reason Chapman is beating them so often.  Cal Lu puckers big time whenever Chapman is even mentioned.

The West is still up for grabs. The lack of Pitching for the first time in a long time has Chapman fans relaying on the players to play the game as its should be played. No advantage this year Its a simple game throw strikes , play catch and put the ball in play. Play with respect and Guys like me will respect the program . But who am I?
