Quaker, highheat is correct its clear that your a player a no body, and if you were you wouldnt be coming on here to bash or brag, so i hope you enjoy your emotional high while your picking splinters out of your backside.

[TheRightHander]

just some information so quaker doesn't go blow an O ring.
Guilford Team BA Prior to Greensboro Game, .393
Alex Phetteplace held them to a .250 BA for innings 8-9
I held them the quakers to a .227 BA for innings 1-6

even though you found a way to win, all I'm saying is that they can't hit good pitching.

ALSO, giving up 59 runs in 5 games... you have to try to do that.
averaging 11.8 runs per game with a team ERA of 7.0....(not including the Infinite ERA by Montalbano)

not quite sure quaker but i think this means that your defense gives up almost 5 unearned runs a game...
good job.


we'll take a good look at your record at the end of march....

okay for the sake of some variety I am reporting on a couple other teams.

Byron Mendenhall (RMC) shut down NC Wesleyan through several innings and the Yellow Jackets ended up with a 7-5 win over NCWC.

CNU took 2 from Gynwedd-Mercy yesterday, but I can't get info on the games.  CNU lost internet access on Saturday evening and still doesn 't have it back.  A cable was cut or something.   Anyway, they are off to a 4-0 start and they didn't have that kind of start last year.  Moreland is gone, but the pitching staff seems to be doing it'sjob.

(I know this post isn't as fun to read as the trashing of your fellow players, but I thought I would post a few reports anyway)

Thanks for the "variety"!!!!!

www.cnusports.com is still working and you can get info on yesterdays games.

[vabaseball]

Hey JAF, thanks for the tip on cnusports.  I was going through withdrawals!

Greensboro College: 2-3
Guilford College: 4-1

Manfro, you can twist stats around all you want my mind. I'm sure the Washington Nationals had a few stats better than the Red Sox last year, but at the end of the day they're still the Nationals. Just keep working to get that first win Manfro. It will come, you play Averett this year....And if you want a stat here is one to look at: Kyle Wooden is batting .800 through 5 games and already has 28 total bases  And the batting average stats for the Guilford game, wow...leave those out why don't you. Your powerful hitting team batted .185 off Adam Hart through 7 innings and the Quakers batted a respectable .263 against you...keep picking out those stats that favor the midgets...I mean the Pride 

[TheRightHander]

You act like i care.. You are narrow minded and immature. Just play baseball.. Or watch since i'm assuming you haven't felt th dirt this year. You keep talkin about midgets like i couldn't tear you to pieces. Like i said before..We'll see who has the better record in 5 Weeks.

[USAS09FAN]

Where you on the bench last year when you gave up almost 28 total bases to one kid in one game last year?

[HighHeat]

Righthander...I wouldn't even give him the time of day. The kid (yes, kid) is riding a high right now and highs can only last for so long. He was quiet for a few days after the beating they took from Piedmont in the second game of the year.

Let's look at it this way...If he is a pitcher on that staff, it says something to be excited about winning and giving up 59 runs in 5 games. A performance should be evaluated on how well you threw and not by the win/loss decision. In your case against Guilford on Saturday, that is what you should do. I know its frustrating listening to that little bird believe me.

But, again if you give up 59 runs in 5 games and you have to find something to be excited about, I guess you can say that you've won four games and to Guilford's credit, they have.

[TheRightHander]

I appreciate that highheat. and quaker.. If it makes you feel better by making fun of my height, when in all reality 5'8'' really isn't that short, by alt means go for it. First word that comes to mind i jealousy. Five foot nothin but the gun said 87-90 yesterday... I'm done with your childish antics.. I have more to worry about than some remedial bench warmer. We'll meet again at new bridge bank.

Sorry but I have to respond to this.

I'm now an old man who has played & watched alot of baseball in my time and over the years I've always thought that the object of the game was for your team to score more runs than the other team. Somewhere along the way I must have missed it when the game changed and now it no longer matters if your team wins or loses it's just about how well you play as an individual.

I know that professional sports and even some high level college teams with legitimate
pro prospects have evolved into an "it's all about me game". I was holding out hope that D-III sports were still pure and a team game but it's obvious by reading these post over the last week or so on this board that I was very wrong.

[HighHeat]

I am sorry if I didn't phrase that right...For an individual performance as a pitcher, you must base your performance on how well you throw. Heres an example for you and tell me which you would feel better about from from an INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE standpoint.

a. You throw six innings and give up two earned runs and are tagged as the loser in the game as your team loses 3-2.

or

b. You throw six innings and give up nine earned runs and are credited with the win as your team outscores the opposition 13-9.

I think you are out of your mind if you do not think that the first situation is better. From a team standpoint, it is about the wins and losses. But, as a player, you should not judge it like that. You base yourself by your performance. You should stand by your performance from an individual standpoint.

Hmmm seems a little weird that Guilford gets demolished by Piedmont and quaker disappears for a week. All these new names start popping up and getting deleted trashing Greensboro. Guilford wins then all of a sudden quaker is back and talking again. If your going to have week long "vacations" every time Guilford loses and come back when they win people are go get tired of you real quick. I was at the Guilford-Greensboro game and I have to say Manfro and Hart pitched great games. Looking at Harts stats and talking to some of the fans sounds to me like it was his best career game. Hats off to him. But judging by the pounding GC gave RMC it looks like it was abnormal for them. It was an exciting game though.

As to JAF it is true that it is about wins but everyone knows that baseball will eventually even out and giving up more than 10 runs a game will come back and bite you.

To quaker enjoy your start while you can because if you all keep giving up 10 runs a game you probably will not win many more.

Not that I am really interested in all the bashing going on this site, so I figure I give out a few reports on NCWC's forgetable weekend at Greensboro.
1. On the 12-10 lost to Guilford, I was extremely impressed with the way John, Wooten and Starbuck swong their bats.  They have given up 59 runs in 5 games, so I am not sure how long their offense will keep carrying them, but heir bats are for real!  The actually hit good pitching, so my hat's off to the Quakers.  Killer was us leaving 10 men on base.
2.  Sunday AM we lost to Randolph Macon 7-5.  Mendenhall was cruising along and mowing down ours hitters, although it looked like he wasn't throwing real hard, but very effective, until our SS Rahm laced a lined drive off him and he did not come back for the 7th.  Not sure if that was the reason why, but the kid threw real well.  After that their pitching fell apart and we couldn't capitalize in the many opportunities in the last 3 innings.
3. Sunday PM, we played at beautiful New Bridge Bank Park and John Sinclair did a good job on the mound for the Eagles until he tired in the 7th.  Again our offense did not get going until the 7th, which is way too late.  Too bad we wasted 2 HR's by Zollie Woodlief, whose playing really well...

My two cents, from watching all 3 games, is starting pitching is staying in too long.

You act like i care.

if you don't care, why do you continue to post and respond to him?

I shoved it down your teams throat - We didn't hit - We lacked offense - for the blown lead in the ninth against bridgewater...we gave up - our bullpen wasn't as stellar as they should have been.

i'm sure your teammates are really excited to read the statements above...they might be 100% accurate, but whatever happened to humility and loyalty to teammates? you sure seem very willing to praise yourself and bash your teammates, even when your performance doesn't warrant praise (ie: the lynchburg game)

Just play baseball.

i think you should follow your own advice...

please don't take this personally...if you were a monarch player, i might be calling you out even more - i'm trying to do you a favor by telling you to let your game speak for itself...you're digging yourself a deeper and deeper hole with almost every post (not to mention the fact that this board is becoming less and less enjoyable with every post by you and your cronies)
