BB: Midwest Region

[BigPoppa]

As I was once told, "There is no such thing as an 'upset' in the postseason. Everyone left playing is good at that point."

I don't worry about Maher or any of the staff, the question lies in what this Tommie squad does against top end pitching. With the MIAC down this year there was not the quality top end arms in the conference (outlside of Rowley at Bethel) that can put a good offense to the test. I like the Tommies to come out of the Midwest and I REALLY like them to come out of the Central if that scenario were to play out. I think the Tommies locked up a #1 seed no matter what region they are in, so the option to throw a Wedinger or Veglahn and hold Thomas for game 2. Also if need be have Maher to close game 1 and get a later start. Should be a fun week. Lastly I'm pretty sure about a week or so I said that Point would win the WIAC tournament, was told about the Warhawk pitching being far superior, guess that worked out.

Nice call MIACLUV!!!!  I NEVER would have guessed it based on how the WIAC Regular season went.

Can I at least get my crow served warm?

That's certainly not what I meant I stated st scholastica is a capable team but having seen point sweep them this season I'm not sure the saints can beat a great st Thomas team.  I can tell you as a pointer fan I'm sweating having to face Benedictine and think their a dangerous team.

CSS 1
St. Thomas 0

Must be a typo!

UWSP comes from behind to beat BU 6-5 in 10 innings. Almost had both the #1 & #2 seeds sitting at 0-1.

Whitewater dominated tonight setting up point vs whitewater.  Whoever wins this game is fixin to go to appleton.

Whitewater's P dominated, not their bats or fielding (3 Es)

Don't count the Tommies out, they play in the MIAC.

I'm not saying whitewater or point have things locked up.  I like scholastica to win and the whitewater point winner to beat scholastica leaving one of those teams 3 and 0.  Whitewaters lineup is too unbelievably good to stay this quiet but point hasn't been lighting it up either.  In reality st Thomas probably has best overall pitching but I don't think offensively their as good as whitewater or point.  I'm excited that st Thomas or Benedictine are out tomorrow that's too very quality teams.  Does whitewater have best 3 4 5 hitters in nation?  I don't see any way they don't win it all next year?

If Herum and Fon both go in the draft... do they still win it all?

I believe one of them is a sophomore so they can't go correct?  I love points pitching next year with seidl coming back but they desperately need mccugh next year in middle of lineup.  He really would've helped this year he has unreal pop

I think when a kid gets gray shirted it goes by the year they are in school, you have to be three years out of high school.  I believe they are both juniors in school.

I won't shed a tear if their both gone next year.  I just don't see anyone beating them next year with what they have back. Where did pierce come from I would think he's going pro eventually also.

Three great games yesterday.  Every one of them went down to the last at bat.  Gish was every bit as good as advertised.  He didn't seem to have overpowering stuff though he did throw some that were pretty fast.  But I don't think I've seen a pitcher who mixed up speeds the way that he did in a long time and it really kept the hitters off balance.  Herum's double was as clutch as clutch can get.  A very good curve that he just reached down and drove deep.  Then the fielder almost caught it only to have it bounce out of his glove. 

Scholastica's win was wild.  All the St Thomas player had to do was lob the ball over to third and they had the runner dead instead he rushed the throw and launched it over the head of the third baseman and out of play.  Crazy

It was a great day to be a fan.  The weather was fantastic and the games closely contested.

The loser of tonight's Wiac battle gets to face st Thomas and Dylan Thomas tomorrow.  In my opinion point has to win tonight and tomorrow at noon to have any chance whereas I feel whitewater could bounce back.
