BB: General New England Discussion

DIII Dad · February 16, 2009, 04:23:19 PM

Thanks KSCfan. I knew about TCNJ and Hopkins as far as how good the games could be. I should have put in my post I was talking more about the teams in bold lettering. Sorry I didn't clarify that

Thanks again.

ECSUalum · February 16, 2009, 04:47:08 PM

St. Cloud State, a D-II school, located in Minnesota usually played thier early games at the Metrodome, for obvious reasons

2008 stats are incomplete off thier web site, but 2008 press guide shows record or 16-29 in 2007

Looks like they are an average/below average D-II team

ECSUalum · February 16, 2009, 04:55:16 PM

Roger Williams , from my experience is a reasonably good D-III team, but nothing outstanding.

Thanks ECSUalum. I've looked at some of the stats from those schools, but sometimes they can be a little decieving. Just thought I could get a little more insight.
Was looking at the schedule for the Russmatt Baseball 2009
Greater Phoenix Invitational and seems to be attracting more and more good teams. There should be some great games. Unfortunately I can't get to Az.
Does anyone know if there is going to be anyway to track the games as far as score updates or do we have to wait till there over and check the schools web site?

DIII Dad · February 16, 2009, 10:35:32 PM

May have just answered my own question. I just noticed the Teamline link on the home page for the Az. Invitational. Is that going to be for all games or just certain schools?

First off let me say TheGNAC your write ups are great! It looks like the best teams around here are playing some tough early sason games. Good way to see what you have. I follow Wheaton(MA) and was just wondering if any body knows anything about the other teams on there Az. trip as far as good competition goes.
7-Mar Sat RIT (NY)
8-Mar Sun Saint John's (MN)
9-Mar Mon The College of New Jersey
10-Mar Tue The College of New Jersey
10-Mar Tue Rockford (IL)
12-Mar Thu Saint Cloud State (MN)
13-Mar Fri Johns Hopkins (MD)
14-Mar Sat Western New England
15-Mar Sun William Paterson (NJ)
15-Mar Sun Roger Williams

Thanks in advance for any insight I can get.

I would only worry about TCNJ, WNEC, WPU and RWU. Those are the in-region games.
As for the teams from my area, as already stated, St. Cloud isn't the best D-II baseball team, St. John's is a bit below average in Midwest terms and Rockford is very good. Of those three Rockford is by far the best – just a solid club all around. No overpowering pitchers since a RC kid was drafted a couple years ago, but they can hit. There's a good chance Wheaton won't see Rockford's best SPs since it's not in-region. Even in that case Rockford can outscore you. This is an offense that hung 19 on Carthage last year, although against Carthage's lesser pitchers and Rockford lost a few bats, but still ...

That written, I'd be surprised if any of the three Midwest teams knocked off Wheaton.

KSCfan · February 17, 2009, 12:11:34 PM

Oshdude nice to see you wonder into the NE boards, some good insight for sure. I would agree about the in-region games d3 dad. I think that Wheaton will be fine, I think that thier biggest challenge will come in the shape of WNEC.

May have just answered my own question. I just noticed the Teamline link on the home page for the Az. Invitational. Is that going to be for all games or just certain schools?

DlllDad
Teamline is usually up to the team to supply the broadcasters, and teamline provides the hook-up through a phone if memory serves me well.

I saw that Western Connecticut started the year off at 1-1 i think they are the only team so far in New England to play a game. The games were posted on thier website.

KSCfan,

Good Catch, I did not even realize WestConn had started.

New to the site. Been a long time follower of D3 baseball, and since I moved my family to the Metro West area I've fallen in love with the babson baseball program. Just a heads up to everyone -- I think this team has what it takes to finally get out of the region. After sweeping Wheton in the regular season last year, they return sophmore ace Andrew Aizenstadt who might be the best pitcher in the nation that no one knows about. They head down to Florida in a few weeks to play some teams from the mid-west and should prove exactly what kind of year they are in store for.

Certainly avid baseball fans know what a great freshmen season Aizenstadt had, both on the mound and at SS. For them to win the NEWMAC again would be amazing. They had a great senior class last year, so much leadership, offense and defense to replace. Cannot see them repeating last years success.

Aizenstadt won't see much time at SS this year as his arm will be saved for Saturdays. Losing Delaney and Tamoush, the Beavers top performers will be tough but look for returners Bryan Evans, Dave Ahern and Jeff Wojnar to step up with the lumber. Also be on the watch for Delaney's replacement, 2nd year Bill Besinger and NEWMAC rookie of the year possible Bill Miller both out of the powerful Catholic Conference to be program changers for this squad.
