looks like manfro had some control issues today, with 7 walks in 5 ip to go along with 5 hits (a 2.4 whip...whoa), 6 k's and 4 runs (~~3 earned~~...looks like they were all earned) - gc will need some late-inning magic, as they're down 6-3 with one out in the bottom of the 7th against rhodes - no word on the mu/huntingdon game (no live-stats and it's too cold to take the kids to a baseball game)

Very little control issues i'm not one to make excuses however the umpires were garbage. Walks did kill though. Rhodes has a big hitting team. I was consistent 88-91. Topped at 92. We'll get it. It's early. We'll get it...

Baseball players don't make excuses...
...they make adjustments.

If you were there, You'd agree.

dont take this the wrong way man, but covering up a bad outing with a radar reading doesnt carry much weight. like i said im not trying to make enemies with you, but thats a little desperate for covering up your outing. looks good for a scout, but a radar gun does not win games.

TheRightHander · February 21, 2009, 08:17:34 PM

I'm not desperate and i know my stats. We lost as a team. Just figured i'd throw that out there for a few people that may have been interested. Sorry for being stoked i broke 90.. Easily

yet there were only 5 walks in the other 13 ip combined...interesting...i guess they were garbage just for you

c'mon man, if you're going to crow about yourself on this site, be man enough to eat that crow when you play poorly...90+ mph or not

and i've got nothing on what the monarchs did today...the score isn't anywhere to be found and it's killing me

Okay it wasn't the best outing obviously. Damn. I was just talkin baseball. Just a simple self accomplishment.. Didn't know it was going to turn into bash manfro again. And when you do find out the other scores please post them. We'd like to know who came out on top. And i'm still saying there umpires are some of the worst I've ever seen. Feel free to ask the four teams that were present.

The USASAC poll at the top of the page has some crazy math!

CNU 7
Ferrum 1
Greensboro 7
NCWC 5
Who cares 3

Total 21

So what happened to 23?

Damn private school math!!

CNU85 · February 21, 2009, 09:26:28 PM

CNU wins game #2 against Rowan. It was a slugfest. 17-10. CNU is now 5-0-1. Not a bad start. Even have a win against a ranked opponent. This is going to be a fun year to watch CNU.

Hey Righty.....if anyone from GC posts, beware The Narch. He heates GC more so than CNU......but he won't admit it!

For you narch,

MU beat Huntington 12-11

MU beat Frostburg 17-2

narch · February 21, 2009, 09:54:34 PM

dislike and respect are 2 different things, '85

the monarchs went 2-0 on the day, beating huntingdon 12-11 and hammering frostburg 17-2

huntingdon jumped out to a 7-2 lead after 3, but the monarchs kept pounding away, led by shawn lovette (4-4), brian ingram (1-1, 3 runs, 4 bb) and brad davis (3-5, 1 hr, 6 rbi...he had a gs in the 6th) - tough first game of the day for the pitching staff, but the offense found a way to make it right

box score

no box for the frostburg game, but the score tells it all - the monarchs have now scored 13, 7, 17, 12 and 17 in the last 5 games (all wins)

i'm hoping the lc game gets played on sunday (there might be some nasty stuff moving in over night), and i'm (obviously) hoping for a monarch win

the statistics simply don't bear that statement out...in the two games played at oglethorpe, there were 15 walks issued in the 31 innings not pitched by you - just under 1/2 walk per inning - in the five innings you pitched, you walked 7 - that's 1.4 walks per inning...almost 3 times the number of walks/inning issued by all other pitchers - i hope you guys can rebound and get a "w" on sunday...the conference as a whole hasn't had the best weekend and needs every win it can get...

randomguy · February 21, 2009, 10:40:21 PM

agreed the conference needs every win that it can get. havent been around here long, but from what i understand the conference used to win most of the non-conf. games. hopefully as the year progresses the conf. will get more wins outside the conf.!
