FAVC Buckeye

[basesloaded]

with pitchers and catchers starting soon what are your pre season predictions for the FAVC Buckeye. Here's mine.

1. Glen Este - loaded with pitching with marksbery, fuller, snoke, calhoun as well as others. they have a good line up with good speed at the top with jones and bromagen and power in the middle with hord, keller, jones, fuller. heard they lost their catcher for the season which could be a big blow, not sure who they have to back him up.

2. Anderson - on the mound, rexroat can keep them in the game with anyone. their pitching staff may not be very deep. kenney has a live arm but struggles to be consistent sometimes. rod needs to be the spark plug of the offense like he was as a freshman. good speed at the top of their lineup with rod and schraer. manor, jeffery, kenney, and bisinger look good in the middle of the order. jeffery is very solid behind the plate.

3. Milford - sounds like they have too many injuries in the pitching staff, and their catcher gastrich likely out for the season is a big blow. nesteroff throws the ball well and could be the ace of their staff. amos, hickock, mcfarland, and daiker will be solid in the lineup. i don't think they can win the league with all their injuries.

4. Harrison - kuykendoll, weinle, and peters are all good players. peters is a very good hitter with power. not sure what pitching they have coming back, but they will be competitive and could shake things up if they get some pitching.

5. Loveland - they don't have much pitching depth. lay is a solid hitter and does a good job behind the plate. i just can't see them challenging for the top 3 spots without much pitching.

6. Winton Woods - they will get hammered again like every other year.

[IMO]

manor for anderson got moved...but Schraer should get his deserved chance to shine, he is a very good ballplayer

[htowncats]

weinle for harrison graduated last year

[Eaglesball08]

Mike isn't out for the year.. he'll be back

The catcher will be Gerber, 6'1", Jr. 60-6.8, can hit and can block, dont think they are going to to be hurtin' at that or any other position this year.

Pretty good assessment of the league. I think the league will be very competitive this year, but I would agree with you that GE is the favorite to win it with their pitching staff.

Gerbs needs to step up, and he will. He will add speed to an already fast lineup and will be just fine behind the plate.

[Xuball11]

Mike isn't out for the year.. he'll be back

HOw soon do you expect Mike back?

[Eaglesball08]

I heard doctor said something like 3 months.. which it happened probably a little over a month ago..

[stayflyyy22]

he wont be catching when he comes back, he will probably play a little first and some outfield, maybe third but i doubt it. the only thing milford needs from him is his bat. Also look for him to close a few ball games out, the kid touches ninety.

[cincysharks17]

the term touches 90 is just a bit over used on this site.

[Trojanman_11]

i agree. if he's able to play he will not be behind the plate. i heard mcfarland will be getting most of the innings at first as he should be healthy by the start of the season so i don't think mike would be there.maybe right field with his arm. i'm not very sure if mike can touch 90 but i do know(as do most people) that he has a very live arm. how much would the knee injury affect him?

[cfscatcher34]

Weinle graduated last year. Harrison is goin to need some players to max out their hitting ability to make up for the loss of weinle and peters.

[Xuball11]

Wow, that is a big blow to Harrison.

But before you go filling ppls head with that,
wait and make sure he goes back behind the plate.

Gerb wants to know where else he is going...what do you know he dont? :laugh:

[Trojansfan08]

Im not saying he's going anywhere else.

im just saying ..

dont go talking like hes GUARANTEED the catching spot.
anybody could try out and impress the coach and show him they are better than Gerber.

yeah. hes a solid ball player.
but ive seeen better.

[24cats24]

harrison has 4 solid pitchers returning including kuykendoll and gibson who pitched varsity as sophmores cron and huber are solid senior pitchers look out for harrison to contend for the league title with 6 juniors that played varsity as sophmores and they only lost 2 position players
from last season

GLEN ESTE IS THE MOST OVERRATED TEAM IN THE CITY

One gets tired of coming on here trying to match wits with others that come unarmed. Didn't say that he was guaranteed anything, no one is. Tryouts have yet to even start. I was just answering the question of whom the back up could be for Jeffers. Gerb has been catching for GE the past 2 years, would only be my guess that he would move up to Varsity this year. Maybe you know something I don't, but some how I doubt that as well. Everyone will go out busting their butts to make this team one that will be able to live up to all the hipe that it is getting.

GLEN ESTE IS THE MOST OVERRATED TEAM IN THE CITY


Most of those who get on here are from GE, and I am sure at the age that they are they confuse hipe with excitement. I think GE should be very excited about their upcoming year. It has been a while for them to be excited and hiped up for a potentially great year for their baseball team. Overrated may be an over statement, because you can look at the players and the talent that they have, and on paper they should do very well. They are going to have to go out a prove it now on the field, by working hard, and wanting to silence all the ney sayers out there and not let it go to their heads before even taking the field. That would go for every team, for that matter. Everyone starts the season 0-0, it is up to each and every team to go out a prove or disprove those who support or want to deny that they can play. Again up to everyone to pull together as a team, have some step up to be leaders and guide this team to the level they have the potential to achieve.

After taking a look at the favc pitching stats from last year, I would venture to say that the GE pitchers do NOT look very good on paper. All 4 of the pitchers mentioned in earlier posts had era's over 6 last year. I realize that players can improve over the offseason but to say that the pitching staff is loaded when none of them had overwhelmingly impressive statistics last season might be a bit of a stretch.

[theoldpro]

Bitzy03 Ge Was A Very Young Baseball Team Last Year... Now The Pitching Staff Is The Foundayion Of Every Team And Ge Has This . Ge Mom I Play Pro Ball And I Seen Your Son Play And Gerber Will Be The Catcher For Ge . Ge Mom Have A Great Day .

[IAM8UP]

If GE can keep the old pro's and daddy ballers out of the kitchen they have a chance to be pretty special.

If the divas can show up and be gritty team players instead of worrying about stats and how pretty they look in uniform GE will be pretty special.(You know who you are just shut up and play.)

If GE play's its best players instead of trying to make everyone happy GE will be pretty special.(It's not knothole boyz!!)

Chemistry is key with this GE bunch. If they can gel and become teammates that care about each other and put the team goals in front of thier own personal gain they are going to be pretty special.

It has been a very difficult year at GE to say the least. It would be nice if this baseball team could come together and have a great season. It would be a nice way to finish the school year.

Good Luck GE!!!

Why is it that everyone takes everything so literally..I said that GE looks good on paper, not just the pitching but as a whole. I know Fuller and Marksberry didn't get to pitch much last year at the Varsity level, but I know what Marksberry did in summer ball, don't know about Fuller. I know they have some talent coming up from JV from last year that didn't go up to the Varsity level, for reasons that only the coach can tell you, but I feel that they could of played at the Varsity. That is why JV won the FAVC last year, due to the talent that they had. I don't claim to have all the answers, nor will I use this forum to ellaborate on who played and who didn't or who will play this year. I know some of the kids and have seen them play over that last few years, and the amount of talent that they have both pitching and in the field should make...I said SHOULD make a heck of a team. But as I have said before, it is up to these kids, KIDS to make or break themselves on the field.

Nice observation. Your right GE has kids that are studs that have never even gone to try -outs . These kids could make the team , and start on Varsity this year , as well as last years team .This is just my opinion. These kids are well known at school , as well out side of school so maybe the coaches should check w/ the existing team members to get some names , and try to get these kids to come out to help fill the positions that are in question.

[IAM8UP]

If there are kids at GE that should be playing and are not because people are not bowing down to them and begging them to play then GE doe not need them anyway.

Kids like that are not team players and typically would put themselves above the team anyway. I.E. ='s bad apple, and bad chemistry. They should stick to playing on thier AABC SUPER GOLD MEDAL CHAMPIONS MABEEYIAMSTUPID WORLD SERIES CHAMPION SUMMER SELECT TEAM.

:wallbang:

There is no one at GE who is not playing who could come in and start on the varsity team, let alone even make the team.

yeah i know who the baseball players are. give some names of who these so called studs are.

[ImPaRtIaLoBsErVeR]

yeah i know who the baseball players are. give some names of who these so called studs are.

I said " The whole student body" not just the players . Not to mention any names , but your team has kids that should of been playing varsity last year that played JV . I seen a few games that were laughable from the fielding aspect . Those kids could hit , but couldn't catch a cold .
Defense wins championships , but some of your boys are only playing because of there names , and not skill level

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

I think GE may have a couple of kids that haven't played in the past that might be able to make an impact on varsity. Unfortunately eligiblity and discipline issues have certainly been a factor at GE recently. There are probably others that were simply focusing on other sports or there may be other reasons that they didn't opt to play.

If they are eligible, willing, and able to help the team, that's great! Get to tryouts and let the coaches make the decisions.

I'm sure there will be those that disagree with the decisions made by the coaches. It is bit disturbing to me that there are so many before tryouts have even started. Hopefully it's just a few nervous people - but I can't help but wonder why it's only happening with players/fans of just a few schools. It will be interesting to see whether such distractions end up hurting these teams this year.

Exactly that was my point . These kids i speak of play other sports , and can't dedicate themselves to baseball .

[basesloaded]

Exactly that was my point . These kids i speak of play other sports , and can't dedicate themselves to baseball .

so they cant dedicate themselves to baseball, probably haven't played in 3 years, but can walk right in on a team full of talent and take some positions? you make no sense. this team that i know of has 3 players that D-1 schools are all over. there are many more players on the team that will also play at smaller colleges. they all play on top summer teams and play against good competition. there is no room on this team for someone who hasnt played or cant or wont work on their game.

Sounds like the coaches should have an easy time making that determination and the returning players should have nothing to worry about then...

You assume they haven't played in three years . Not once did i say they haven't played , and yes some play summer ball upwards of 40 + games , then also play the dreaded fall B/S .
To follow your lead when you have major D-1 schools looking at you in another sport you tend to follow that path , and put in the extra time to inhance your chances of getting that coveted scholarship.

[ImPaRtIaLoBsErVeR]

None the less GOOD LUCK on the upcoming season .

I was just letting you know that there are kids w/ talent that don't play school ball .

[stayflyyy22]

there are probably 4 at milford, three of them are wrestlers. and one just doesnt play because he hates all of the coaches, and he is one ---- of a ball player.

[GE_Baseball_Mom]

no you said Gerber will be the catcher.





Basesloaded stated he didnt know who the back up was, simply said it would be Gerber. Sorry it wasnt stated to your liking. Would of been better to say, Gerber will be going out for the starting position...Better??

Hope your just a fan like your name states, because I would hate to think that you are a player.

Couldnt agree with you more about people disagreeing about who is playing and who not before they even start tryouts. And what is discouraging is that most of those are GE people. Strange that if your son plays on a team you would want chemistry and for these kids to be supportive of each other instead of coming on here and talking about their teammates in a negative manner. But yet expect the kids to come together to prove those who are saying GE is overrated. Baffles ones mind. I for one just dont get it. But that is just me. Distraction is just what it will be, because these kids get on here and read this stuff, and they know whos screen name is who. How could you not be distracted knowing your teammates dont respect you or the team enough to not come on a forum that everyone else in your division reads as well and bash your own team, or sons team. Those just support the idea that GE will be it own worst enemy. JMO.

In my oppinion Trojanfan, Gerber is an excellent baseball player. You may have seen better, but you have to remember it is just high school- I'm thinking that you may be jealous. No one said Gerber was GUARANTEEDED anything, he has to tryout and make it his spot just like everyone else and their posistions. :) :D

you deff. go to glen este. not sure how many people spell guaranteed "guaranteeded" lol

I am thinking this person feels he should be the starting catcher, which is fine. Good luck with that!! But don't hate the player, hate the game. I will let Trojanman say it, because if I say he is good, it is because we are somehow related. He is good, because he is. So guess we will see when all is said and done.

[Trojan_ballfan_08]

Well, Duh, I go to Glen Este. haha. I don't spend much time spelling, its okay. But you all know what I mean, So it's all good. :)

[Chuckbobuck0804]

Okay here is my opinion, If you are trying out for Glen Este Baseball don't respond to anything on here. If people are calling us over-rated, let them do it. Who cares. Coach Hatfield already told everyone to stop saying stuff on yappi. Honestly who cares about gerber, there are three other catchers trying out for the spot. So just everyone on the Glen Este baseball team stop getting on here because your just wasting your time. Let the play on the field shut everyone up. And if you have a problem with anything I just said, suck it up because its just baseball.

[Tad Wynn]

Maybe you GE folk should start a new thread to talk about your team! Obviously there is no other competition in the FAVC, maybe you guys should all skip your high school careers and go straight to the pro's!! I can't believe any of the other teams in their league would want to play them!

[Coeus]

Read the title of this thread. In no way shape or form does the title say "Glen Este Baseball 08". If you Trojans want to talk and argue, start your own thread. This is for discussion on the FAVC Buckeye in 2008. Lets get back on topic.

Last i checked...GE was part of the FAVC Buckeye...so they can chat all they want on this forum...if you didnt want GE to talk in the Buckeye, why not make a thread called "FAVC Buckeye except for GE who has the most yappi contributers this season and like to debate on topics in a thread they are allowed to talk in"

dude. seriously. they aren't debating on the topic, they are debating about their team.

I actually think ge is the only one talking on here because they are the most concerned! GE talks a big game, but there is no proven players on that team! It's all about wat they are going to do! The other teams aren't saying anything on here because they are SMART! We will just have to wait and see what happens on the field. I gaurantee the Harrison's/Milford's/Loveland's of the world love hearing ge talk all this crap! Of course, hopefully this weather breaks and they actually get to play ball before May!!!

Tad Wynn: I am on here and I live nowhere near Glen Este and I can name a few proven players who are not only proven at Glen Este but throughout the state and beyond. Randy Jones is the fastest athlete in southern Ohio and maybe all of Ohio. Was chosen to represent Team Ohio in Florida, where he batted .636 with a wood bat on a team that was one game from the championship, helped win a World Series in 2007 and plays on one of the best summer teams in Ohio. the Greg Jones who is another top player who played on one of the best summer teams in Ohio, Matt Marksberry is considered one of the Top Junior prospects from the left side in Ohio with a fast ball in the upper 80's,Brandon Fuller another top level Junior who plays on one of the best summer teams in the 17U division, helped win a CABA World Series in the 15U division last season, while throwing around 84MPH from the right, he plays up by the way in the summer and his 16U team lost to Puerto Rico in the Championship game at the USSSA World Series in Florida 1-0 last season. These are just a few but their is Tyler Snoke, another nice pitcher plays with the 17U Flames and a host of others. SO they do have some proven players...

You didn't look very hard if you haven't seen anything from Milford and Harrison. Milford was leading the discussions until some significant injuries came to light.

It is true that we aren't hearing much from the rest of the FAVC Buckeye. So what about it Anderson, Loveland, and Winton Woods? I know Anderson has plenty of supporters on Yappi. So who will step up for those teams?

That is why they are looking good on paper, and a lot of ppl around the area are looking forward for some great things from this team. GE is also not the only one talking from the Buckeye...i have heard things from all sides. Harrison and Milford even have their own threads... :shrug: Winton woods was on here a while ago talking about a few good players...Anderson will have a solid team this year...
Where have you been?

[stayflyyy22]

Glen este should just switch to playing college teams instead of crappy high school teams. And Randy Jones should just move into the reds clubhouse because he is the next jay bruce.

glen este will not win this conference... they lack in hitting, pitching, fielding.... well everything really...

will someone give me some insight on how randy jones is similar to jay bruce? im pretty sure jay bruce hits better than .264 and he is playing at the major league level... the kid had 19 hits in 72 at-bats.... this is high school... that is a terrible stat if you're going to compare someone to the likes of jay bruce.
teams in the FAVC Buckeye shouldnt even have to travel to GE to play their horribly overrated team on their repulsive field.

The summer ball season got a lot of GE players some hype. They have several players coming back, who played for some of the Top teams in Ohio, and did very well on them. While they underpreformed last year, it was more do the new coaching, than to lack of ability.
The new coaching staff has been working on the field constantly as well, and while it may not be "perfect," it is considerably better.
btw, nearly every team says the same thing about traveling to harrison :wallbang:

1. hitting .264 isnt the coaches falt
2. it has been at least 6 months since any of them played a game
3. although the fence is quite deep, it is one of the best feilds in the city. (hence, why we host sectional playoff games):shrug:
4. guarantee harrison gets the broom out for the two games against GE

[injuredx2]

Randy is a better hitter than .264. i played with him last summer. he must of had a bad year cuz he hit very well all summer. kid has blazing speed too.

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

You must of forgot about your post regarding Milford. A bit hypocritical, don't you think?:


milford only has like 13 seniors this year, and robbie nesterhoff came in from homeschooling. rhp/lhh hits 84 and 85 off the mound consistently and runs a 6.6 or 6.7 60 yard dash. he will most likely be patroling centerfield. and as for the seniors
Brian Holden,OF good contact hitter good arm from right field
Johnny Renz,OF good arm from left/center. developing into a nice hitter, with good speed
Kyle Seitz,P power pitcher with good splitter
Greg Hickok, P hits low 80's great breaking ball, strike out pitcher
Kyle Amos, P low 80's pin point accuracy
Ryan Troehler, SS slick fielder, good contact hitter
Matt Olson, 2B Excellent glove extremely fast, good at hitting to the right side
Jesse Johnson, 3B great fielder with some pop in his bat.
Thats just a few.
Juniors
Mike Gastrich, C easily the best catcher in the FAVC and would be the best in the GMC if not for the switch, hits with power and hits with average. pop time of 1.88 or 1.9, claims he can hit high 80's off of a mound but Mike lies a lot so he probably doesnt. only concern with mike is that he is fragile and does not make good choices
Jacob Stoner, P/3B throws 81-82 consistently, swings a nice bat most liekely will only pitch for the varsity team.
Zachary Mcfarland, 3B/P throws heat, excellent hitter. tore his miniscus a month back, should be ready by early march though.
Ethan Daiker, Of cannon from the outfield, not very consistent at the plate.

[IMO]

When did i say anything about the lack of Randy Jones's Hitting during the Highschool season the coaches fault?
I said that the underpreforming (ie. losses) were more the new coaching and them learning how to do things (will be greatly improved this year, as coach hatfield is a VERY hard working man).

Glen Este was very young last year. They only had 1 senior starting position player and 1 senior starting pitcher. I believe that was the main reason for them not having a typical Glen Este season.

you are so far off base it's funny. If you think GE won't compete for the conference title you are living in fantasy land. They return 8 starters from a team that lost many close games to good teams last year. Whether you like it or not they have the deepest pitching staff in the league....PERIOD and in my opinion are the team to beat in the conference. You are entitled to your opinion, but you show your maturity level by saying GE has nothing and bashing their field. Last I checked at least their field had some decent baseball dimensions and not that ridiculous 365 foot down the left field line, 410 feet to left center, 800 feet to center, and 315 to right. Maybe you ought to reconsider before you bash somebody elses field. As far as Randy Jones goes, yes he had an off year last spring at the plate, not too much unlike your star Peters who hit a not so much better .294 after a great freshman year in which he was all league. In a very short high school season if you get in a slump you can have a bad season. Ask Rod from Anderson who had a very good freshman year and then last year hit .204. It happens. Randy Jones is a very good baseball player and will rebound with a great season at the plate this year. And about your "guaranteed sweep" of GE....I'd bet otherwise....we shall see on the field.

High School stats are not fact. If you look at most schools they do not report on all games. I am positive of that fact.... Randy Jones had more than 19 hits. Whomever was keeping stats needs a lesson in math. Do not player hate. Randy has 4 of the 5 tools and is developing the 5th. He will be drafted, if not this season by the time he is a sophomore in college he will be a top draft pick. You can not teach SPEED on the bases. A 3.97 to first tweaks Major League scouts interest, wouldn't you say.... That and the fact that Bull Durham is now his personal hitting instructor, and he feels he is a major league prospect for sure, does not say that much.. So take the fake .264 avg. and stick it where it belongs.....in the garbage. Intangibles on the base paths, causing pitchers to not pitch well, speed kills.....if he bunts he could have an outrageous average.

[stayflyyy22]

most colleges do not base a lot on the high school season. most of the scouts show up during th summer when the competition is greater. oh by the wya i was kidding about the whole jay bruve thing it was a little bit of sarcasm

Randy Jones might be a solid baseball player but he is not a future top draft pick.. and yes he might of struggled last spring but if he is really as good as u people say he is then y haven't other players in the conference even heard of him and a future prospect would have transfered to a top school in the city like a GCL school. And don't listen to CFScatcher34 he is a fool.

Why would a top draft pick have to transfer to a "top" school. Last i checked a public school won the state playoffs last year...as well as GE (other than the past two years) has been a very solid baseball program.
Remember Duncan out of New Richmond a few years ago? By your logic he should of went to a so called "top" gcl school...just didnt agree with the money or else he'd be somewhere in the MLB (minors probably).

again, if our field is hated by as many people as you say, why are games still being played on it after the regular season is over? obviously the OHSAA doesnt really care that its "800" ft to center.

randy jones might be good, idk about great bc i didnt see much from him last year. i def look forward to watching him this year, cuz we know how much players can be hyped up on yappi.

but what i do know is GE is not the team to beat in the conference.

and what good teams did you have close losses to? you lost to AMELIA in the playoffs! great season guys.... :rolleyes:

no.. i guarantee they dont even finish in the top 3

last year was the old season? yea, ok.... there's 5 other teams in the conference saying that. winton woods probably thinks this year will be their rebound year as well... will it? probably not.

So there will be no change this year? So Harrison will go 4-6 in FAVC Buckeye again and finish 4th? Are you SURE nothing will change this year?

[cfscatcher34]

maybe.. they have good returning pitchers.. but without weinle, and maybe even peters, they lack in the hitting area. so they might be better, they might be worse.. but we will see

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

maybe.. they have good returning pitchers.. but without weinle, and maybe even peters, they lack in the hitting area. so they might be better, they might be worse.. but we will see

Yet you can write " i guarantee they [Glen Este] dont even finish in the top 3"?

I can't guarantee anything. I thought Milford and Glen Este would be the favorites. Both of those teams have had significant injuries. Milford has lost one pitcher for the season and has at least one more that is questionable. Both of those teams lost their starting catchers to knee injuries. It was written here that Milford's catcher might be back but I would be skeptical if he would go back behind the plate after a knee injury. After reading on here about Harrison's returning pitching (and checking last year's FAVC stats), I believe Harrison should be included in the list of favorites.

No one is saying much about Anderson and Loveland. While I don't believe they will be bad teams, I wonder if they have the number of quality players it will take to finish at the top. But with the injuries to Milford and Glen Este, and the question marks you brought up about Harrison, I wouldn't overlook Anderson or Loveland.

Winton Woods simply does not belong in the FAVC Buckeye for baseball. I wish they would look into reorganizing the 3 divisions based on the different sports. Probably much harder to do than it sounds, but it would be better for everyone if they could find a way to be more dynamic with regard to the divisions (e.g., Glen Este boys basketball hasn't belonged in the FAVC Buckeye for many of the recent seasons).

no team in the FAVC buckeye should be overlooked... other than WW as you stated. i just dont like it when everyone says a team is gonna be the best in the league just cuz they didnt play like they should have last year and they had some kids play good in summer ball.

but i def agree with you that some teams should be put into different conferences for different sports (WW baseball and GE basketball for ex) but that would be way too hard to work out.. plus there's always gotta be an easy win in conference play...

[24cats24]

agreed different conferences for different sports would be way to difficult and confusing

[stayflyyy22]

Mcfarland will pitch today who is scheduled for Glen Este?

[AmericaOne]

Mcfarland will pitch today who is scheduled for Glen Este?

Brandon Fuller for GE. Both ar Ohio Heat 17U Team Mates and they both are very good pitchers. Good Luck to Zak McFarland and Brandon Fuller....

[IMO]

Glen Este wins 9-8.
McFarland and company got bounced around by some pretty good hits, while Milford took advantage of Fuller and the rest of the GE pitchers inability to throw strikes.

[basesloaded]

Fuller walked a few more than he normally does. He left the game in the 5th inning after some shoulder tightness with a 5-1 lead. GE pitchers did struggle to throw strikes though it should be noted that the home plate umpire had no idea what a strike was. There were many pitches that were strikes that simply were not called strikes....but there were also some legit walks as well and I think Fuller hit a batter too. Big league win for GE as they took a 9-4 lead into the 7th and held on for the 9-8 win.

[BASEBALLMOM]

That Milford Team is pretty tough, had some errors and left many guys on the bases. For the most part I think they will go far. GE kept up with them the whole game. Had they not made errors I think Milford would have won.

Milford left 18 runners on base.

And I'll venture to guess that had GE not made errors they would've won by even more (and, as the home team, had 3 less outs to boot)...

[redskin17]

Personally I think Milford and Anderson will be the top two followed by GE and Harrison, then the rest

[24cats24]

loveland 6
harrison 3

[hits09]

yeah....where are you cfscatcher34.....predicted that a harrsion sweep of GE...I think that went the other way, didn't it? Said Harrison would compete for the FAVC title....how's that working out at 2-6 in the league? Said GE had nothing and was overrated....hmmm, 13-4 record with 3 of those losses being one run losses....yeah i would stay in my hole too if i were you.

im going to go with milford on this one because they have looked solid all around this year and i believe favc is going to rule the beast of the east especially since ge is 6-0 against gmc teams including beating sycamore 9-3 in regular season and 24-4 in a scrimmage(by the way ge is playing sycamore)so i think milford and gleneste will play against each other tomorrow for the 3rd time this year

[LarryLegend33]

No, hes just not very impressive from what i saw... i only saw one game, but from what i saw I dont think hes as good as advertised

Buckeye W-L PCT W-L PCT
Loveland 7-2 77.8% 13-5 72.2%

Winton Woods 0-8 0% 2-12 14.3%

Loveland won today 8-1/

with pitchers and catchers starting soon what are your pre season predictions for the FAVC Buckeye. Here's mine.

1. Glen Este - loaded with pitching with marksbery, fuller, snoke, calhoun as well as others. they have a good line up with good speed at the top with jones and bromagen and power in the middle with hord, keller, jones, fuller. heard they lost their catcher for the season which could be a big blow, not sure who they have to back him up.

2. Anderson - on the mound, rexroat can keep them in the game with anyone. their pitching staff may not be very deep. kenney has a live arm but struggles to be consistent sometimes. rod needs to be the spark plug of the offense like he was as a freshman. good speed at the top of their lineup with rod and schraer. manor, jeffery, kenney, and bisinger look good in the middle of the order. jeffery is very solid behind the plate.

3. Milford - sounds like they have too many injuries in the pitching staff, and their catcher gastrich likely out for the season is a big blow. nesteroff throws the ball well and could be the ace of their staff. amos, hickock, mcfarland, and daiker will be solid in the lineup. i don't think they can win the league with all their injuries.

4. Harrison - kuy

kendoll, weinle, and peters are all good players. peters is a very good hitter with power. not sure what pitching they have coming back, but they will be competitive and could shake things up if they get some pitching.

5. Loveland - they don't have much pitching depth. lay is a solid hitter and does a good job behind the plate. i just can't see them challenging for the top 3 spots without much pitching.

6. Winton Woods - they will get hammered again like every other year.

not even close??? is the league over yet? GE is now 6-3 and will be 7-3 after they beat WW on Wed. I believe I said the league would be very competitive and expected GE, Anderson, and Milford to fight it out for the title, which they are. The one team I didn't expect to do much was Loveland, and they have had a nice season. The rest of the prediction was pretty accurate. The league will be a 4 way tie if Milford beats Loveland and Anderson beats Harrison. i think milford will bounce back and win wed but you never know.

[bitzy03]

Anyone know what the pitching matchups for the Loveland-Milford and Anderson-Harrison games will be?

[happygilmore]

will the league allow a 4 way tie ?
or will the look at the runs allowed, runs scored, or overall record ?

4 teams sharing a league title sounds alittle odd

either way, congrats to all 4 teams
