gotta love the hater talk... and look, its from the ALMIGHTY WEBSTER!!! its called getting off to a slow start. horn has proven he can dominate with the bat, the legs, and the arm, and I know he will do it again this season. Nikolaisen is a good ball player and will continue to stroke the ball and get on base anyway anyhow. we could talk about how raetzloff is struggling right now, but we all know he will heat up anytime, so lets not start with the bashing because someone is off to a slow start.

So before we talk about conference play, we should take a look and get an update about last year's flop, the Fontbonne Griffins. With a 15-19 record last year, things would appear difficult for them in '09. Well after 6 games, they look like a totally different team. But you may as well count them out since they never are capable of winning key conference games. I would expect the same this year.

With little leadership from Senior Captains Justin Juergensmeyer and Dan Horn, they look to be headed down the same road. Horn has trouble with all sorts of his game. It looks as though his breakout season last year will be put on hold this Spring. He boasts a .208 average, not even half of what he put up last year. He seems to struggle in clutch situations and looks to be faded.

BTW: I agree with you "videodawg" about Willy and Willey.

On a side note, don't be fooled by sophomore Jason Nikolaisen. He'll have to avoid being suspended again this season if he wants to help his club. Besides, his texas leaguers are about to expire. Trust me.


WOW! Way to support your team. Looks like we have some unhappy players at Fontbonne who feel they should be playing ahead of others. That is always a recipe for disaster.

Hey I was thinking this year would be exciting in the SLIAC but I never thought this board would as hostile as it has become before conference play has even started. I do not think Raz should be critizied coming off the year he had last season , these guys put out quite an effort every day and it is undoubtable the big bats will answer the call at some stretch of the season . For FU , they beat a very good team at Rose-Hulman in 10 innings today . Holman was 8-2 which is nothing to turn the other way about , and as for Willey , he faired well today the stats will show that . Poppa I think those guys on FU that might be posting should turn their energy into suppot for a FU team that could possibly make a lot of unexpected noise in the SLIAC and the the region .

Nothing like some inter-squad temper tantrums to bring a team together.

well after one conference game, it looks like we are going to have one great of a SLIAC season... Maryville came back and won in the top of the 9th inning against what was considered one of the better teams in the conference

if i do say so myself. Maryville is the team to beat in the sliac. Westminster, not so much. so as for coming back against one of the "best teams in the sliac"... i think you meant to say one of the best teams came back to win.

I agree with this. I would say that there are teams to beat : Webster and Maryville in no specific order. However it does seem as if Fontbonne is playing very well and believe it or not blackburn has started to swing it. Its still early and sliac records never look the best right out of the gates.
Baseball players get to every base.

We chatted a lot early on about key injuries. Does any one have the inside scoop on any of the guys that came into the season banged up? Is someone doing well that was injured at the begining of the season? Who is hurt after the Spring trips?

A key injury for the beavers may be their returning sophomore catcher wilhelmi. Looks like he may be out for the season.

Eureka splits with MacMurray 2day winning 9-6 and losing 12-11. Very exciting games both teams played hard and well. Mac looked alot better than I thought they would Clay McConkey went the distance for Eureka in game 1. Last year's 2nd team all conference pitcher Cashdollar got the ND in the second game and got roughed up a little bit and Blake McConkey suffered the loss in relief.  Knoblauch had 2 HRs for Eureka. Mac won the game in the bottom of the 7th. Lead off man Helmrichs singled, bunted over by Butler and Sellers hit the game winning Double. Good games today looking forward to more to come.
