BB: Midwest Region

[OshDude]

UWW site is showing audio, video and stats for the game. Right on.

[Pat Coleman]

Do you have actual video? I don't see today's game in the Penn Atlantic listings at the moment.

I found it in the listing by searching on the date, but it tells me the "Game is already over."  There's no way to access it.

[Pat Coleman]

I've filed a ticket with PennAtlantic support.

[Just Bill]

It's up again now.

[Pat Coleman]

Yep, I got a response to the support ticket.

Carthage and St. Thomas are tied at 5.  St. Thomas was up 4-0 and Carthage put a 5 spot up but Wippler homered for St. Thomas to tie it up.

Anyone seen an ABCA All-Midwest Region team yet?  I see discussion on other region boards about their teams.

Year in, year out the Midwest is always slow on releasing its All-Region team. The fact that it's not out by the time the World Series is almost over is just silly. ABCA releases its teams for DI and DII literally the day they are voted on and etched out. Maybe in this case it's the regional committee just not being organized at all or something else, but there's no reason for it to be out by now.

I actually got it last week...

I see the top of the heap in the Midwest Region staying about the same for 2011
CLEAR TOP THREE:
1) St. Thomas--lost a couple arms but loaded up a ton of new talent
2) UWSP--If healthy a WS title contender
3) UWW--Do they ever not win the WIAC? Also a WS title contender.

Best of the rest:
4) Bethany Lutheran--Arguably the best 1-2 staff, should get over CSS
5) UW-Osh--Lechnir has some pitching which is scary for the rest of the WIAC
6) St. Olaf--young but very talented crop in
7) CSS--Inexperience in the middle of the line-up leaves questions
8) CUC--New coach, lost a lot of seniors. ??

Thoughts???

Here is what Oshkosh's starting line-up would look like if they had a game tomorrow......  There are a couple of notable changes from last season.

C-Alex Mullendore (JUCO Transfer-Elgin Junior College-2010 1st Team All ISCC)
1B-? ? ? (Want to say Transfer, but I can't remember)
2B-Derek Hiroskey (3-year starter at C)
SS-Nolan Fadness (3 year starter in OF)
3B-Tyler Kamps (1 year starter at SS)
OF-Blake Berger (Played 3B majority of last season)
OF-Doug Beattie
OF-Derek Layton
DH- ? ? ?


Starting Rotation
-Jeremy Rubens (Returns after missing 2010 because of Tommy John Surgery)
-Phil Schreiber (Transfer from University of Iowa)
-Luke Westphal (All WIAC Honorable Mention selection in 2010)
-Troy Mrkvicka (All WIAC Honorable Mention Selection in 2010)

This is arguably the most pitching depth Oshkosh has had in a few years.  It also appears as though they are going the transfer route more than any other team in the past.  The last time I can remember this many transfers was back in 2005 when they had Schmitt, Heinemeyer, Plucinski, Perdomo, Bolcoa, and Yost.  For comparison, UWO ended up going 29-13 that season, losing to Point and Platteville in the WIAC Tournament.

Your 1B is VanAbel from MATC.  Kid didn't play baseball at all in HS, but played fast-pitch softball instead.  After a few years out of school enrolled at MATC and played well last year.

Metrodome roof collapses under snow fall.

There may some Vikings fans who are concerned about the remainder of the season, but the real question is

"Will the Metrodome be ready for the opening of the 2011 D3 baseball season?"

Does it not have to stop snowing before repairs can start ?
