BB: General New England Discussion

[WNECalum222]

Hobbsy or anyone else for that matter....

When do the new england polls come out?  Who is the best team in New England so far??

Some records of teams that traditionally do well

Eastern 4-0 (though all 4 wins over winless team)
Keene State 2-1
WNEC 2-1  (like Keene State beat ST Joes of Long island and MIT and lost to Farmindale in mini tourny)
Southern Maine 1-1
Trinity yet to play
St Joes of Maine yet to play
Amherst yet to play
Williams yet to play

Who has played that is off to a good start?  Did i miss anyone?

WNEC's pitching staff showed me a little more than I was expecting last weekend, only 7 runs in 3 games i beleive. Their lineup was medicore tho, 27k's in 3 games isnt gonna cut it. Maybe it was just the cold weather, hopefully their bats come alive during their spring trip.

Not sure when the first poll goes out. Should be sometime in the next week or so.

My poll so far....

1. Western New England- Still tops early on
2. Eastern Connecticut- 4-0 is 4-0
3. Wheaton- yet to play
4. Amherst- yet to play but good
5. Keene St.- good start in LI
6. Tufts- yet to play and should be tested
7. St. Joe's- yet to play
8. Colby-Sawyer- give em some love for a good start

tough to tell so early on. two LECs and two NESCACs in the polls. Look for the LEC, NESCAC and NEWMAC to dominate the polls this year

How about Endicott? They were a pretty decent team last year, I think they had nearly 30 wins

[Hobbesy]

you are right. I really like Endicott! They are my sleeper pick to win the region. All four starters back on a team that nearly made the regional last year.

Keep an eye on Colby Sawyer, and look at the numbers. Bull Pen has to improve.

Both Keene State and WNEC have lost to St Joe's of Maine. New England is going to be tight this year. Better win your league if you want to play in may.

My poll after 2 weeks of the season

1. St. Joe's- strong start
2. Southern Maine -5-1 with quality wins over Farmingdale State
3. Wheaton- talented squad - a contenda
4. Western New England losses to Farmingdale & St. Joe's bumps squad off top perch
5. Eastern Connecticut- 4-0 vs a 2-18 Whitter team, 1-2 vs all the rest
6. Amherst- yet to play - really?
7.Colby-Sawyer- solid start
8. Tufts 1-0 start more to come....
8. Plymouth St. - as mentioned before 4-0 is 4-0

Monday morning readers poll for 3/19..

My top 8

1. Wheaton 7-1.  Wins over St Joes, Keene,
2. St Joes 8-1.  Wins over WNEC, Keene ST, Endicott
3. WNEC 4-2  Nationally ranked with a couple of good wins, lose to St Joe has them at 3
4. Southern Maine 5-1.  Showdown with WNEC looming on the horizon, should be great game
5. Eastern 5-2.  4 of 5 against a terrible team
6. Plymouth State 4-0.  havent lost got to have them in
7 and 8 to early to tell

[wildthngvaughn]

Alright, playing a little imagine if game here.  Imagine if Matt Fleishman stayed at WNE after his freshman year.  He is currently hitting .455 with 3 HR's for Division I Villanova.  Last year he hit .325 with 5 HR's.  Imagine him and Griglun batting 3-4 two years ago, or him on the NCAA World Series team.   

[wordsmith]

My poll after 3 weeks of the season

1. Wheaton- 12-1; 6-0 in Conf. Quality win vs St. Joe's & Keene State; only loss to Cortland St.
2. St. Joe's - 9-1 only loss to Wheaton
3. Eastern Connecticut 9-3 to date.
4. Southern Maine -6-4 with quality wins over Farmingdale State & WNEU, but odd dual losses to Worcester

This is where I stop. Cannot determine the next 6 as so many squads are 6-3 or 6-5 or 7-7 and have had yo-yo performances; but the best of the rest appear to be Trinity; Western New England; Amherst ; UMass D & UMassB; Keene State; Colby-Sawyer; Tufts.

Nice, very nice. Great job.

[LEC Fan]

Hobbesy- good info. on the start of season for the NE teams, Wheaton has come out hot! May suggest cleaning up the background a little bit...it is tough to read 

[Hobbesy]

Thanks guys.

LEC Fan- Is the NE D3 Baseball thing a bit too distracting?

[LEC Fan]

Yea, just a little bit much IMO...if I remember correctly Hobbesy you are also a BU sports fan? I know this is a baseball forum but thoughts about the bean pot thriller?
