BB: MWC: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

The Northwoods League might be an option for a few of the players. I don't think everybody has filled their rosters yet.

They left too many on. A hit here or a hit there and they win easily. FYI. No upsets in baseball.

What would you call it if the Cubs ever won the series?

Don't need to worry about it. The world will end before that happens.

Huh? I thought for sure this would generate some action on this board. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit on the baseball season.

1. (2). Beloit (MWC)- All but 2 players return that saw majority of playing time..
2. (14). Ripon (MWC)-  linsmeyer coming back could be big
3. (6). St. Norbert(MWC)-With Jesus gone.  Who will be the main relief pitcher.
4. (25). Monmouth (MWC)-  Always seem to win South Div.
5. (31). Lawrence (MWC) - Liked progress last year. 
6. (24). Knox (MWC)-
7. (35). Illinois College (MWC). 
8. (37). Grinnell (MWC)-  Lost a lot from last year. 
9. (29). Carroll (MWC)-  Bad last year.  Now don't have Marlin and Elliot.

Sorry Big Poppa.  Wanted to post earlier but was too busy reading Upandin rip into you on the Central region board.

Should I move Grinnell up the board.  The did get a freshman from AZ.

Beloit College Baseball kicks off their season tomorrow at 2:30 EST.  Vs. St Vincent College followed by Widener College at 6:00 EST.   I will try to give updates as I get a chance

11-1 Beloit bottom of 4. Looks like this one is only going 7

[BigPoppa]

The Bucs are going to make some noise on the national scene this year. Add that to solid programs at Ripon and SNC and you have the makings of an up-and-coming power conference. Too bad the divisonal format only allows two of them to make the conference tourney.

Yeah it is too bad.   I think the North Division had the top 3 teams last year (Beloit, St Norbert and Ripon).  With Lawrence being every bit as good as Monmouth and Grinnell. 

Unfortunately with the format some teams never get a chance to play each other.  I know Beloit has never played Grinnell under DeGeorge and he has been coach for about 20years.

Beloit wins 8-0 over Widener

3-2 Top of 5.  Rose Hulman Leads Beloit.
