Any Thoughts?

[SHOOTERS TOUCH]

chca

[southpaw3051]

CHCA should be seen as the favorite as usual. However, there is a rumor concerning Fortner, their big lefty. Word is that he is ineligable. Anybody know anything about this?:shrug:

Summit lost EVERYONE last year and will probably be "re-building". Watch Cody Brooks, though. Lanky infielder/ pitcher has a great bat. Zach Barkalow is new- came from Little Miami- and both seniors will be depended upon to carry the team.

CCD has Dietz on the mound. Junior lefty with plus stuff. I don't remember how well he hit. Armstrong will also be a key component in the pen.

NCH has Black, a good pitcher who also plays second and is a good hitter as well. I was wondering if that kid with the loooooooooooooong hair and beard is coming back... God i hope not- he gave alot of people trouble.

Seven Hills has the best rotation in the division. Sr. Matt Van der Horst is a manchild and will try to become a two- time all state selection. He also plays CF and is everything you could want at the plate. Soph. Kyle Neu has a very good freshman year and should continue to improve. If Sr. Kenji Takahashi can get to where he should be, the Stingers will beast. They also have a number of strong underclassmen who will emerge when the season starts.

Don't know anything about anyone else.

[southpaw3051]

Armstrong will probably be in the rotation. my bad.

[Pea_Tear_Griffin]

i coach a summer team with alex dietz and dustin armstrong on it. they both have good stuff. dietz's fastball can hit mid-upper 80s and his changeup is great, and he can hit really well. armstrong is a sidearmer, which in itself is intimidating, and his slider adds even more strikeouts.

[southpaw3051]

Wow Dietz is hitting upper 80's with his fastball? He must have improved a ton since we played him.

Doesn't Robbie Davis play on your summer team as well, then? If so, how is he doing? From what I remember he's pretty smooth in the field and is a good hitter. I think he batted second against us...

[dfgmd2004]

Based on last years season, I doubt anyone in the MVC will come close to upper 80's...

[Pea_Tear_Griffin]

ok youre probably right, now that i think about dietz, but its aleast low 80s - my bad...yeah robbie davis is solid all around, can crank the ball. sick curve, except the curve took the toll on his arm, had tommy john surgery late summer or early fall. i dont know if he'll be back for school 100%. max dietz, alexs bro, is a great fielder with a lively bat also. on my team also is henry meininger, scott mays, david hoffman, and wilkie (honestly i have no idea of his full name, its just wilkie to me) all from summit. the rest come from mariemont, stu simons, riley flickner, jack mckeown. with stu simons, mariemonts ace, and alex dietz and armstrong, thats all we need. our pitchings great.

[Buzzard 89]

It seems like several teams lost a fair amount from last year which will make it hard to predict the league this year. CHCA still has to be the favorite until they get knocked off, which does not appear likely this year. After that I would think Summit lost a lot (Peterson, Meininger, Rhode); Cincy Christian lost a fair amount (Grahl, Dickerson, Laughlin); New Miami lost a bunch;

OK here are my pre-season picks--not by division

CHCA-Pitching will carry
Seven Hills-return some hitting and pitchers
North College Hill
Summit-Can't give a good reason for this placement ...but what the heck.
CCD-they return most of their pitching-could suprise
Cincy Christian-maybe flip-flop them with CCD
New Miami-lost a lot of senior talent
Lockland
St. Bernard

What about Clark Montessori-don't know anything about them

[thecougar07]

CCS lost a big group of seniors from last year's team, as well as their head coach. This year's team will be led by a solid group of juniors, headlined by Josh Lanphier and Chris Gortner. Replacing Coach Mills will be Coach Bill Lanphier, who was an assistant last season. He is quite a motivator and I have no doubt that he will get the max out of his team. CCS won't be as dangerous in a couple of ways this year, namely pitching and speed. Losing Grahl and Dickerson leaves a huge hole in the pitching staff, and the departure of Laughlin and Smith takes away alot of the threat of bunting and speed on the basepaths. This will be a very young team, but it is talented, and could suprise people.

[southpaw3051]

Well it sounds like you have a beast of a team. Mind if I ask the name and division you play in?
How do the Summit kids look? Meininger was a good player and I've heard good things about his bro. I don't recognize the other names though...
And I did not know that about Robbie. That's gotta be rough. Best of luck to him.

[MVCSports09]

did the lead off hitter for ccs graduate? and is lanphier the catcher? cuz i remember the catcher being really solid behind the plate, a good hitter, and had pretty good stuff on the mound as well.

[thecougar07]

Kevin Laughlin was the leadoff hitter, he has graduated. Josh Lanphier is the catcher; you remember correctly. He is as solid and complete a baseball player that I have seen and been priveledged to spend time with. In my opinion, he should be the favorite to win MVC Gray POY.

We are in the AABC American league, but we play 90% National league teams. We would be in the national league, but our guys all go on vacation starting in late june and throughout july, so we'd have a lack of players. Meininger is a solid player, good glove, and is a threat when his emotions dont take control of him. If he makes an error or strikeout, he gets really upset, but other than that, good ballplayer.

[dfgmd2004]

Whats the name of your guys team?

[southpaw3051]

Josh Lanphier is the catcher; you remember correctly. He is as solid and complete a baseball player that I have seen and been priveledged to spend time with. In my opinion, he should be the favorite to win MVC Gray POY.

Cougar, always great to get your take on the MVC. Always very insightful. With regards to Lanphier, I agree that he is a very good player. I remember playing him after my freshman season during summer ball. My coaches and teammates alike were struck by the talent that Lanphier's team had even though they were a year younger. MVC play has only added to my on-field respect for him. I was wondering- do you know how he played this past summer? I Haven't heard much about anyone to be honest... But your prediction brings up another question for everybody to answer- Who are the top players in the MVC and why? Mine are:

CHCA
Drake Brown- Jr. catcher is a monster at the plate and will change a team's approach to the Eagles lineup.
Simmons- Sr. 2B is very quick and smooth in the field.
Lambert- Sr. From what I remember, he is a very solid pitcher and pretty good hitter.

Summit
Cody Brooks- Sr. SS/ P is a sidearmer who is a pain to hit against. He is also an offensive threat- his stats speak for themselves.

CCD
Dietz- See above.

Seven Hills
Matt van der Horst- Sr. CF/P is the only 2007 D4 All State selection in the area. Comfortably throws in the 82-86 range and can rear back and fling when needed. But his calling card is his bat and speed. I don't know how many balls he's lost for the Stingers in practice and games. Also has a sky high baseball IQ.
Kyle Neu- Soph. OF/P has the build to be a VERY good player. Hit second last year and is reliable at the plate. Should also be the 2 or 3 behind Vandy depending on...
Kenji Takahashi- Sr. P/IB needs to stay healthy. He's been troubled by injuries during his sophomore and junior years and his play reflected these injuries. His being a lefty on the mound is huge in it of itself, and is a much improved hitter from his Fr. and Soph. years. If he can return to being as effective as he was during the 05 season, the team will do very well.

NCH
Black- Sr 2B/P (see above mention).

CCS
Lanphier

I have no idea about anyone else.

[dfgmd2004]

Talking about top players, who would be the top pitchers? Would anyone be hitting mid-upper 80's on the gun?

[thecougar07]

Cougar, always great to get your take on the MVC. Always very insightful. With regards to Lanphier, I agree that he is a very good player. I remember playing him after my freshman season during summer ball. My coaches and teammates alike were struck by the talent that Lanphier's team had even though they were a year younger.

But your prediction brings up another question for everybody to answer- Who are the top players in the MVC and why? Mine are:


I dont know much in regards to Josh's summer performance last year, but either way I wouldnt put much weight into it. He is an extremely hard worker, and will put in as much time as necessary to be the best at his position in the MVC. I would be disappointed if he didnt hit .400+ and throw out a very high percentage of runners. As far as the rest of the MVC goes, I dont know very much. Having graduated and gone out of Cincinnat for college, I've missed alot regarding MVC sports that didnt involve Cincinnati Christian. Anything you guys could fill me in on would be great, baseball or otherwise.

[southpaw3051]

Dude. ZBark. Not cool homes. But whats goin on? How're the Silver Knights lookin?

[southpaw3051]

I named the guys who I think are the top pitchers. Vandy probably brushes 86-88 on occasion. But high 80's are seldom seen in the MVC. Perhaps its the lack of velocity throughout the division that gives alot of people trouble...?:shrug:

[ZBark]

Dude. ZBark. Not cool homes. But whats goin on? How're the Silver Knights lookin?

we are lookin good man...I think we are goin to have a really good lineup this year..we can really hit the ball....

[southpaw3051]

Well that really helps. Is anybody in particular standing out or is it still early to tell?

[natisports09]

CHCA has a lot returning from last year, including 4 who were all league( Garrett CF, Lambert P/OF, Simmons 2B, and Browne).

From what I hear, Fortner is not elligible, but Browne will play some first base, and also pitch. Burns, who caught half and half with Browne last year, should carry the load at catcher.

[baseballpro]

I named the guys who I think are the top pitchers. Vandy probably brushes 86-88 on occasion. But high 80's are seldom seen in the MVC. Perhaps its the lack of velocity throughout the division that gives alot of people trouble...?:shrug:


I dont think CHCA should have a problem with velocity...

From talking with coaches recently, the team has been clocking in practice consistently:

Lamert 82-84
Lloyd 82-83
Lichety 80-82
Fields 86 consistent has touched 88
Shoemaker 78-79
(all preseason so should vary as season arises)

When i find information on other teams i will post my findings.

[baseballpro]

and as it goes for Eric Fortner,

he is ineligible because he has used his 4 years of highschool baseball. He had played prior in Kentucky.

[ZBark]

Well that really helps. Is anybody in particular standing out or is it still early to tell?

cody is hitting good, im hitting good, lippert is hitting good, jeremy barnes is hitting good. So four good senior that can hit the ball. We got a really good freshman too that can flat out smash the ball, his the freshman that played on varisty basketball, he is real tall and lanky. Scott mays and henry are both looking good as well..we will def. be bringing the lumber to the games...how are u guys lookin??

[Pea_Tear_Griffin]

Whats the name of your guys team?

the hillstreet lions. our home games at ccd.

[ZBark]

Now to talk about our studly pitching staff consisting of Japanese sensation pitcher, Cody Brooks. Throwing the nasty behind David Wagner, the bigger stud than the jap, bringing not heat but brings the dirty cheddar. Watch out Kenji, your a apprentice to him

[natisports09]

David Wagner threw well against CHCA last year

[dfgmd2004]

Really what was the score?

[southpaw3051]

Whoooooo Zbark bringin the sass. Yeah Seven Hills has hit twice in organized practices, so I think it's a little early to call. And the whole Fortner thing is crazy. I think every team in the MVC is breathing a little easier now. Are there any college bound players yet? Actual commits or heavily recruited?

[natisports09]

Although loosing fortner, the CHCA pitching staff will still have some great arms.

First Scrimage against Reading: Lambert, Browne, Shoemacher, and Fields combined for no hitter

[AnUnbiasedOpinion]

I think every team in the MVC is breathing a little easier now. Are there any college bound players yet? Actual commits or heavily recruited?

What were the details with Fortner? Was it determined he had 3 years of high school in Ky before transferring to CHCA last year? Are there some weird factors/complications involved?

[dfgmd2004]

It sounds like Fortner had played 3 yrs of hs baseball in Kentucky, then transferred as a Junior again so he would have another year to work out since he is that age. What about the other MVC Scrimmages

[natisports09]

CHCA beats Badin 6-1

hey warrior, your wrong. Wagner was not the loosing pitcher. it was hoffman. get your facts straight. but hoffman didn't loose the game, Summit's stealthy defense had 11 errors and only giving up four hits. once their defense comes to par, they will tear ccd a new one. thanks

[warrior411]

sorry about that but i herd that summit had a hard time getting hits off armstrong and when they did it was questionable. but i dont know that is what i herd, it sounds to me like some one might be some what bitter over the game. i also herd that even in the sixth inning armstrong had a 1 2 3 out inning. good pitching or bad hitting?

[natisports09]

Summit's defense was not very good against CHCA, but that was not the only reason they let up runs.

And only 4 runs and you plan to tear a new one? Defense must really shape up

[natisports09]

And is CCD now the number 2 in the MVC? if they weren't before?

[warrior411]

i agree with natisports, summit must have alot of work to do.
And im not sure where ccd is place wise but i just gained word that they beat Lockland 12 to 5. Harris was the pitcher for CCD.

[southpaw3051]

Seven Hills is 1-1(Conference) after a 7-4 victory over CCS. Defense has been spotty thus far for the Stingers. And is it true that Laphier is CCS' ace this year in addition to being the starting catcher? If so, wow. I feel bad for the kid's arm.

[warrior411]

Who did CCS pitch against 7 hills

[warrior411]

also does anyone know wat the records are of the teams in league play thus far?

[southpaw3051]

Lanphier pitched against Seven Hills.

[cincysoccer2006]

Seven Hills is 1-1(Conference) after a 7-4 victory over CCS. Defense has been spotty thus far for the Stingers. And is it true that Laphier is CCS' ace this year in addition to being the starting catcher? If so, wow. I feel bad for the kid's arm.

ive been interested (being an alumnus) how the defence is going to be shaped this year, losing 3 of 4 infielders and cf. who is playing 2nd, short, 3rd, lf and rf? (i assume kenji, matt are playing 1b, cf and jordan is catching)

[ZBark]

sorry about that but i herd that summit had a hard time getting hits off armstrong and when they did it was questionable. but i dont know that is what i herd, it sounds to me like some one might be some what bitter over the game. i also herd that even in the sixth inning armstrong had a 1 2 3 out inning. good pitching or bad hitting?

The only reason Summit lost to CCD was because we had eleven errors, CCD hitting wasnt that great at all, in fact Summit out hit CCD by 2 hits. If Summit just works on the d we will beat CCD next time

[warrior411]

thats ridiculous zbark, talk about gettin the facts straight. Summit scored 4 in the game against ccd but they could not have all been earned since the enquier says that Armstrong's era is under 1 and has only given up 1 earned run.

[warrior411]

not to mention that josh harris went 4-4 that game so ccd for sure had more than 4 hits. unbelievable.

[natisports09]

haha good stuff

CHCA 11
NCH 1

[natisports09]

Are any of the other conference teams playing tough out of conference schedueles?

CHCA 12

CHCA 17
Edgewood 8

[ZBark]

not to mention that josh harris went 4-4 that game so ccd for sure had more than 4 hits. unbelievable.

Ok warrior, name one time where CCD hit the ball hard and had a good shot? u guys didnt even have a double, except for DIetz dinker tht fell in at the foul line. U guys got on alot bc we gave u 11 errors, or 11 extra singles, u guys didnt hit, Harris did not go 4-4, but he got on bc we bobbled the ball alot in the infield, CCd didnt hit the ball hard at all. If we make all those routine ground balls in the game espiecally to third base, we are def. in the game and may win. But we will just have to wait till next time, we will get u guys

[Buzzard 89]

Other than Zbark complaining about SCD's errors...Son, defense is a big part of the game (There is always a reason you lose..here is one ...the other team scored more runs)....a couple of questions.

Is this one of the better CHCA teams? They have played up a fair amount this season with success. Interested in comments from CHCA posters.

Is there a clear favorite for the 2 spot? Doesn't look like it. CCD is winning, but has some tougher games this week. NCH/Cincy Christian/Seven Hills/Summit/Lockland/NewMiami all have lost a game or two in the conference.

[natisports09]

The CHCA team this year could be very special

Defense is strong, and the lineup is very deep, but the pitching staff is doing great to lead the team

[Pea_Tear_Griffin]

Ok warrior, name one time where CCD hit the ball hard and had a good shot? u guys didnt even have a double, except for DIetz dinker tht fell in at the foul line.

dude...how bout dont put them down to make yourself feel better about your cruddy playing...just make the routine plays and you will be fine. its just funny how you are saying, "we shouldve won because you didnt hit the ball hard" but you cant even make plays when the ball is not hit hard.

[dfgmd2004]

agreeing with Buzzard, how about you settle it on the field and quit making excuses... but I digress, any thoughts on the games this week? Schedules? likely outcomes?

[ZBark]

i wasnt trying to make any excuses, all i was trying to do was say the fact that Summit did have more hits in teh game than CCD, and Harris didnt go 4-4, and yes we lost bc of our defense..but we will see this weekend at the Cohen Memorial...Summit vs CCD Saturday

[natisports09]

Two big games this week: CHCA @ CCS, and CCD @ CHCA
What does CCS have?

and Are any other MVC teams playing in the Cohen Memorial?

CHCA is in the big school, and plays turpin

[southpaw3051]

ive been interested (being an alumnus) how the defence is going to be shaped this year, losing 3 of 4 infielders and cf. who is playing 2nd, short, 3rd, lf and rf? (i assume kenji, matt are playing 1b, cf and jordan is catching)

Well, Jack Nenninger (frosh) starts at third, David Leonard (Jr.) at short, Luke Wulsin (Soph.) at second and big Kenji at first. Justin white covers first when Kenji pitches. Jono in right, Vandy in center and kyle in left.

And Seven Hills is participating in the Cohen Tournament.

[natisports09]

CHCA 9
CCS 3

first league game that went 7 innings

[cincysoccer2006]

hows that lineup working out
lol big kenji

and as for this whole summit debate, 11 errors is ridiculously terrible. my worst game ever i had 3 errors and i could hardly walk to my car after the game (the team in total had 6 and we got an earful for the next 3 days). i could not even imagine what would happen if we had double digit errors. im sorry, but any team that had 11 errors has to have some large problems fielding the ball

[cincysoccer2006]

and southpaw im a little surprised that neu isnt in the infield. are they trying to save his arm for pitching?

CCD at CHCA Thursday

Dietz for CCD i believe

[MoeDude]

Damn, CHCA must bring a gatlin gun to the games with all the runs they have been scoring. Is the pitching that bad in the MVC or is CHCA really that good? I'm guessing it is a little of both.

[natisports09]

There are some teams in the MVC that are pretty good, but some of them are not good at all.

CHCA is playing well though, and it is good to see they are scoring more runs off of decent pitching, and it is tough for them to score off of incredibly slow pitching.
18 against edgewood and 12 against princeton showed this.

When is MOE gonna scheduele CHCA?

CHCA 11
Turpin 1

and how did CCD vs Seven hills go?

[southpaw3051]

Ah my bad cincysoccer. Kyle does play short and third now. Drew Holloway is now our left fielder. Jack rotates out as Luke and David adjust accordingly. And Seven Hills lost to CCD in eight. The Stingers had a 6-1 lead in the middle innings. No further comment.

[MVCSports09]

any big league games this week? nch vs seven hills on monday should be a good one.

[Buzzard 89]

Congrats to CHCA on big win over Turpin.

Nice win for Seven Hills over CHL foe Indian Hill in Cohen tourney..interested in hearing more about that one (pitchers, etc.)

Sounds like good game on Sat. night between CCD and Seven Hills...any details on that game?

Outcome of NCH/Seven Hills?

Cincy Christian quietly having a nice year.

Seven Hills beat Indian Hill yesterday..

that's great for 7 hills but i heard they barely beat new maimi and got real lucky due to two a bad calls??????????????????????????????

[MVC Sports]

ZBark - That was cute and all selecting yourself for first team all-mvc but ive got news for you... the only stand out players for summit are Henry Meininger and Cody Brooks.... you were talking earlier about how your team could have beat ccd if it weren't for all of you errors at 3rd base... from what I remember you had 2 errors at second base in the cohen tournament loss to ccd... We all know you think you're gods gift to baseball but please stop using this forum to talk about how good you are.

[warrior411]

Finally! thank god someone said it! i watched the ccd summit game in the cohen. It is true, that ZBark made the errors. awful.

ps. . . Whats with the helmet? rebel?

[MVCSports09]

about the new miami 7hills game:
basically new miami's three hitter hit a jack to centerfield with two men on base. the centerfielder tried to a do a willie mays catch on the ball but it was a couple of feet out of reach. the cf picked up the ball on one bounce. the plate ump signaled no catch while the field ump insisted that the ball was caught. 7hills doubled up the runner on the second as he didnt tag up which ended the inning.
the same field ump made a ridiculous call for when 7hills was up to bat as well, but not of the same magnitude. a runner was called out on a hit to the ss when the hitter clearly was safe at first by 3 steps. maybe a make up call.

[MVC Sports]

Still talking Zbark?...CCD was waiting for u guys to tear them a new one but it looks like it didnt happen, and that makes CCD 3-0 versus summit. Oh and how have u done the last 2 games? Hitless?....well I digress, and you def locked up a first team all MVC spot no doubt, hitting on the same note, be sure to be able to back up your words

[natisports09]

The awards are funny actually

Should CHCA people not post scores because that is bragging or "telling the world about how good we are", sorry if it looks like bragging, but telling the score is just straight up facts

Jessica simpson award? that almost got a laugh out of me

so should I post the chca vs. 7 hills score or should i not because I don't want to tell the world how good we are?

[Buzzard 89]

Nati

Please continue to update scores...you guys have a real good team this year and you don't rub that in anyones face. Just trying to have some fun.
I was trying to pick on just about everyone......

My pre-season picks..how am I doing?


CHCA-Pitching will carry carry ... :) weill it looks like hitting will carry.
Seven Hills-return some hitting and pitchers....:confused: forgot about sloppy defense
North College Hill...:blush: decent call here
Summit-Can't give a good reason for this placement ...but what the heck. :wallbang: Maybe what the heck was not a good reason.
CCD-they return most of their pitching-could suprise. :shrug: Don't score many runs.
Cincy Christian-maybe flip-flop them with CCD. :shrug: Should have flip flopped with CCD-perhaps 2/3 team in league
New Miami-lost a lot of senior talent. :shrug: Hard to call. Have not played many games, but look like a decent team
Lockland . Pretty close here.
St. Bernard

What about Clark Montessori-don't know anything about them.:) Some nice wins.

So now isn't NCH the second best team in the mvc?

[natisports09]

yes, NCH's only two league losses were to CHCA

whoever CCS's pitcher was thursday night, great game

CHCA 3
CCS2

[ucbearcats513]

I appreciate that comment u all played well also

[kb-toyz2]

who are the players on each team that wouldn't be the same team without them and why?

[natisports09]

Seven Hills would be lost without Van Der Horst
Black does a lot for NCH
Dietz brothers?

[Pea_Tear_Griffin]

the dietz brotherrs are just strong. dietz can pitch well, max can field and hit well, add to that dustin armstrong to pitch and robbie davis to hit, seems like ccd should have a good core next year

[natisports09]

who did all the MVC teams draw for the tournament?

[southpaw3051]

Seven Hills drew a 6 seed.

cincy christian would be lost without Lanphier.

[kb-toyz2]

NCH drew clark first round

[ucbearcats513]

cincy christian drew a 2 playing either seven hills or fayetville and i dont really think cincy christian would be lost without lanphier

[dfgmd2004]

Thought I'd throw one last MVC score out there,

CCD: 2
CHCA: 13

[kb-toyz2]

who should be on the first team all conference?

[ucbearcats513]

ccs12
7hills 2
(5 innnings)
