I guess I am too "old school". White at home and gray or grayish hue of the principal color on the road.

I personally am into the more modern looking uniforms. Nothing TOO crazy, but i like the new bold colored uniforms. it gives teams more individuality and style and i know thats not what baseball is all about, but i think it just makes them look good. my motto is if you look good, you play good. I know its not the case for everyone on every team but it does help. My vote for best uniform definatly does not go to fontbonnes purple people eater uniforms, if i had to pick it would either go to Blackburn's red uniforms or Websters whites.

Alright, I'm new here but let quit talking about uniforms and talk about the players. I have seen plenty of posts on hitter and fielders, but everyone knows games are won or lost on the mound and the bullpen. So who are the sliac's top pitchers this year. Who is ready for a big year?

You are right pitchers are what we need to talk about. I would say Scott Murfin of Maryville is goin to be one of the best pitchers. Also, I would say Mike Oliveri of Westminster may be up there too. Webster has a junior college transfer who is on the D3 watch list in Bryce Law and people are expecting him to be their Brett Mueller of 2009. It should be alot of new faces in pitching this year.

Westminster's Cody Blount is also has a good arm. He is a lefty that really impressed me last year.

well glad to see theres another poster, however no pushing around bud. We talk about whatever is posted. There will be some dominant pitchers this year though. I think i will post a rundown of the teams best pitchers tomorrow. AND games are won and lost on the mound as well as in the box. sorry to burst your bubble but pitchers CANT score runs from the mound sorry. anyways look back tomorrow for my pitchers. if you're interested. and glad to see so many posters lately!

Hey, I'm a big boy you can't make me mad so push back if I push too much. I am looking forward to your top pitchers list and I will be checking in often to see what everyone has to say. With that said the sliac season is going to a be a good one and I think we will be a bit surprised with the final out come.

ready2win · February 10, 2009, 11:11:32 PM

Oh yea. Well we have past topics we have discussed look back and add ur input to them we would love to hear it. Also why do you think we will be surprised with the final outcome of the SLIAC season?

VideoDawg · February 10, 2009, 11:45:28 PM

I have heard about some key injuries out there. Also some good transfers at a program or two plus some key losses due to graduation and personal reasons. I know I will be seeing some great baseball in St. Louis this year and it won't be at Busch Stadium.

I bet it will be tight at the top all season long.

theoneandonly · February 11, 2009, 09:20:10 AM

I completly agree with you guys. this season will be great. I dont think webster is going to dominate like many other people do. Oh and havent quite finished up my list of pitchers yet. BUT i did hear Maryville got a really good transfer in who is a pitcher.. either of you guys know about him?

If Cashdollar is back at Eureka he will be a force. I know he went to Illinois College and Western before coming to Eureka. He wasn't helped by the poor defense that the rest of the Eureka team had. I haven't seen their roster yet.

I believe Cashdollar was a senior last year. There is a younger one though.. and Eureka's D didnt seem that bad to me, just no clutch hitters.

theoneandonly · February 11, 2009, 01:30:18 PM

Oh and Eureka and MacMurray are still yet to post their rosters.. Any word on that pitcher from Maryville?

VideoDawg · February 11, 2009, 04:33:52 PM

Murfin is the obivious ace coming in. Also with the program stepping up to Div.II I'm sure they are looking at improved performances all the way around. They are pretty deep in the pitching department overall and they have good defense to back up the throwers when a pitcher is not able to go.
