BB: Regionals (New York) Auburn NY '08, SUNY-Old Westbury '09, Cortland State '10, '11

[RSSmith]

Well solid NY Regional and the best team appears to have won it.  As for the World Series... I think Hopkins is going to win it.  I think they're hands down better than every team left.  That being said anything can happened in baseball.  They're so deep so.  Seems they have two studs that can play every position.  Shenandoah can also swing it but if both teams win JHU and Shenandoah will face off in round 2.  I think Cortland can make some noise as well but I do think JHU and Shenandoah are both better. We'll find out!

A very close friend of mine is a JHU baseball alum that is still very close to the team.  I talked with him recently and he said their lineup was stacked.  Like multiple players with more than 10 homers stacked.  As for pitching they have 2 studs, both are sophmores but i think the rest of their staff is good but not great.  Oh, and a closer that is getting looked at.  He didn't say anything about their D.

So thats my mini-scouting report.  They do sound very deep and like they'll bee hard to beat.  I think cortland may be able to give them a run for their money but they'll need to bring their A game to do it.   Cortland is a solid team and i wouldn't be surprised if they won it all but i agree JHU has to be the favorite going into it.

I just hope one of those teams wins it.  JHU for my buddy or Cortland to represent the SUNYAC.

Good hitting assessment.  Actually, the two sophomore starters got a little help from Senior Greg Harbeck.

Player                 era   w-l     app-gs    ip     bb    so     2b   3b  hr   b/avg  
Greg Harbeck      2.07     8-0     10-10    65.1   16    49     5     2    1    .227
Sam Eagleson      2.45     11-0     13-1      73.1    22    54    8     1    5    .207
Alex Eliopoulos      2.78     10-0     13-11    74.1    22    83    9     0    1    .216
Andrew Pevsner      2.88     3-0     19-0      34.1    18    39    3     0    2    .180  

Slight correction to John Hopkins pitcher's stats:

Sam Eagleson's 11-0 record should read 13 appearances with 10 starts.

Yes, indeed.  I fixed it.

Message board for the 2011 New York Regional which will be hosted by Cortland State  in conjunction with the Auburn Doubledays at Falcon Park in Auburn, N.Y.

[SUball]

Lets get some talk going for the New York Region...

Im not that familiar with this region so help me out guys...
4 conf with Pool A bids
SUNYAC-Cortland State mostly getting the bid unless a big upset takes place
LL-RPI or Skidmire will probably be the two to fight for that bid
SKY-Famingdale state or St. Josephs
NEAC-SUNYIT or Husson are the favorites out of the neac

Who will be in the hunt for an at large bid...St. John Fisher 17-4 in-region, definately Cortland State if they dnt win the tourny..anyone else that i'm missing?

There is also some talk about some teams moving to the New York Region...what teams are a good possibility to move their?

[rob]

In SUNYAC - Cortland not a lock to win the tourney, look at last year.  But barring a collapse still should make regional.
Otherwise Oneonta and Brockport could be seeing at large bids

[airball55]

Certainly see St. John Fisher getting a pool b bid at this point.  I also would not count out Clarkson or any other team out of the LL, too much balance there. 

[Tarheel0550]

Still have to go with Oneonta getting an at large bid if they cant knock off a SUNYAC tourney championship.They have the 25th toughest sos in the nation right now

[onesix3]

And quite possibly a tough weekend ahead.. I agree Cortland is no lock to win the SUNYAC's, they had a lot of one run games.I see a very balanced field with no one scarey good.I will enjoy someone else winning,again!

[Tarheel0550]

Just out : Regional Rankings
C-Land
O-State
B-Port
RPI
St. J Fisher
Farmingdale

[airball55]

The regional committee certainly expressed their love for the Sunyac here.  Whether it is legit or not we will see.  I still don't have a lot of faith in Oneonta. 

[DefenseWins]

Sunyac- Cortland comes out of
LL- RPI Clarkson or Skidmore


Don't know much about the rest but I know Farmingdale is in just about every year. Whoever comes out of that SUNYIT or Husson conference will be two and out. Fisher gets a pool B with O-state right on the line if they don't win SUNYAC's. I think O-state gets in though.

[onesix3]

Oneonta has to win the tourney to get in now. They have an outside chance to do that! But most likely haven't got the pitching depth.

[airball55]

Agree, Oneonta's current seven game losing streak has them out.  At 20-15, regardless of schedule strength they won't get an at large.  Brockport continues to be a team that flies under the radar and just seems to always find a way.  They certainly must be considered for an at large if they don't get in .  At 24-10 and a very tough SOS, the have a great resume and a nice in region win over RPI.  They don't have many bad losses (worst Fredonia and RIT, Fredonia is a decent club).  They certainly are in the mix if they don't win the SUNYAC.

Any predictions on this years regional and seedings?  This is what I am thinking...


1. Cortland State
2. Brockport State
3. Farmingdale State
4. Western New England
5. RPI
6. Skidmore
7. St. John Fisher
8. Husson

Just a guess...

[Ralph Turner]

Any predictions on this years regional and seedings?  This is what I am thinking...


1. Cortland State  SUNYAC A
2. Brockport State   Pool C  Almost definitely will receive a Pool C bid.
3. Farmingdale State   SKY  A
4. Western New England   CCC A
5. RPI                       LL A
6. Skidmore  LL  Pool C--a second Pool C for New York?  Skidmore hasn't been in the Regional Rankings
7. St. John Fisher         E8 Pool B/C -- a third Pool C?
8. Husson                  NEAC A  (601 miles away?  Probably not!  I'll bet that Husson stays in New England.)

Just a guess...

Thanks for the guess...  +1!  

[rob]

There is alot of speculation that a team from the South may be moved to the NY Regional.  Are there any teams close enough to make that ride?
Is it more likely to get a team (or 2) from New England? Who could that be? Is a team like EasternCT ranked too high to move?
