...in this fantasy world I scent Bethel, no hard feelings to Bethel...

I "scent" Bethel as well, and they smell real real nice clark.

Spelling in the MIAC is optional.

But I do agree that it is too early to judge any of these squads, looks as if CSS got to get that staff a decent amount of work, even though from listening they weren't very sharp on defense. I guess we'll see how they stack up when they face St. Thomas this weekend.

To clarify, I never meant the UMAC as a whole was as good as the MIAC and if it came off that way, my apologies. I would disagree with that fully. But was only meant to say that if you put CSS in the MIAC, they would still be at the top of the MIAC. Yes, they would lose more games, I agree. A better comparison on quality of leagues would be between MIAC and WIAC and see how that would play out.

I agree to having a little problem with placing BLC in that same category based on the predictions of talent pool returning and a great year last year. And it is early, and they will have a chance to prove the quality of their team this year through matchups with CSS and Olaf.

I like the idea of the combined leagues, but agree the loss of the extra automatic bid would be detrimental.

And it is early, a few games here and there with many new names that may be well known by years end.

Anyone know how the Bethany v Augsburg games went down last night? I can't find the scores anywhere.

Apparently the SIDs are sleeping in after the late DH

Fan or player? Not a bad split, that's an up and coming team in the MIAC!

Paulisdeadman... what's up with Dorris? How come he hasn't pitched yet?

paulisdeadman · March 05, 2010, 06:22:50 PM

Just a fan. I was curious about Dorris also, whatever the reason they need him back if they have any hope of making a run. He will be a nice compliment to the other guy whose name slips my mind (hallahan or something like that)

Had a chance to catch the first game and part of game 2, was impressed by Scholastica's performance, they made some very good pitchers work for sure. Could not shut down the Tommies when it mattered though. Looking at their media guide it looks as though the guys they're rolling out after Gerten are a little green. Gerten blew up and they just couldn't get anybody ready fast enough. A great game to watch though no doubt. The Tommies just get it done period. When it matters they know how to win.
As far as game 2 go's lets summerize it this way, freshman starts for CSS and looks a little shaky for one inning then goes into cruise control pitching fairly well considering the strength of that lineup, Schuld starts gets 3 runs of support early and does what Schuld does. On a side note, I would be surprised if Schuld has ever given up a bomb like the one he gave up last night, Schulds new and improved breaking ball took a ride DEEP into the left field bleachers. Advantage MIAC!

Since you're the only Bethany guy on these boards, any idea how they're Florida schedule is, someone's to busy to update their website
