BB: Top Teams in West Region

[forheavendial4999]

You are an arrogant a$$ and in all of your spite and hate you cannot see it. I really feel sorry for you.

I get the -k's and the veiled threats, while people are allowed to say things like this about me. I know they're not true and words spoken in ignorance, but it's the principle of it. The double standard is obvious except to those that wish not to see it.

I think Concordia is much better positioned to make a deep run in the regional. It appears to me they have the deepest pitching staff in the Region. What are everyone else's thoughts?

They certainly have a chance, with their three top starters being good and having a great bull pen.....

I think you bring it on yourself. I agree that post is also out of line, however, and I will act on it as necessary.

Anyone know if Scott Weinschenk is hurt for Concordia. He was the #2 going into the season and was pitching very well. I noticed a month or so ago he disappeared in the Box scores. I know Tyler Grygar has stepped in and done a hell of job, but that is huge is Weinschenk is not in the rotation going forward.

Pretty solid teams all the way around. Three game series could go either way IMO. I only saw CTX early in the season, so they have obviously improved. I was surprised by their scoring numbers, but it is clear they are a patient team, move runners into scoring position and are efficient at it. TU looked like a better hitting team when I saw them play, but maybe the power got my attention. TU has likely lost Lucero so a lot will depend if some of the other pitchers step up for TU. I think CTX should focus on winning their conference and if not hope that TU wins theirs as I think TU's numbers that the committee look at are superior if both should lose their conf tourneys. 

JohnnyU if you are around how did you get formatted numbers to list properly on the board?

Concordia won the West in 2002 in Georgetown against a very very talented Trinity team. The only West regional won by an ASC team ever I believe.

I think UT Tyler, Concordia or Trinity could very easily make it to Appleton with the depth they have at the plate and on the mound.

That was back in the days of the 4-team regionals for some regions. You could win with only 3 pitchers.

I believe '05 was the last year of the 4 team regional when Chapman took a DH from Texas Lutheran on the final day behind great pitching performances from Scott Akamine and a young Billy Sulentor (I believe he was a FR) that year.

I am a big UT Tyler fan but despite their record, I don't think they are as good this year as they have been in the past. I hope I am wrong. The east division of the ASC is basically a two team division this year and UTD took 2 out of 3 from UTT in Tyler. Both teams are fatting up the W-L records by sweeping weaker teams in the East. I thing UTT gets past the first round of the conference tournament but will not win it. Concordia and UTD are the teams to beat IMO. UTT might get a regional at large bid if they make it to the conference finals, but they won't go far. Doesn't sound like a fan but believe me I am, but also giving my realistic assessment.

I am picking CTX to make to Appleton in 2012. SCIAC, NWC is down this year. Trinity losing its #2 pitcher will also have issues. No Chapman or Linfield or George Fox this year unless Linfield wins the NWC somehow.

[BamColt]

I didn't realize Trinity had a pitcher go down. Hopefully its nothing serious.
