Springboro Baseball '09

[Boro08]

I know springboro lost 7 or 8 seniors from a #6 ranked team in the state last year. I was wondering what players will be stepping up to fill those roles. I know They have alot of good ball players but how do you think they'll fare this coming season??

[GCLbaseball2442]

James Sheltrown who is going to Akron will have to lead the team and play a huge role for them.

[baseball29]

will james continue to catch for boro or will he move to short? he can play anywhere on the field and is very good at short but i know hes been catchin for boro the past couple years

[ballplayer10]

well....he will most likely catch most of the games because i dont think terrell wants to catch much this year......i am not sure....anyone no their lineup

[Boro08]

from what i know obviously james will catch. bryce drew at SS. Scotty White in CF when not pitchin. Nate Reynolds in OF somewhere? John Monnig in OF or 1B. Austin Kaiser 1B? Ben Schubert INF? Brandon Riley 3B? Not sure about second. Terrel might start in the other outfield spot if he doesnt wanna catch. Brandon Riley is a catcher also. They also have a new kid from Wayne who is supposed to be good, last name lakes but idk the first name. As of now no one can know who will start. it'll be a younger team than usual.
:confused:

[ballplayer10]

yeah....thats my guess......pelfrey has a lot of talent to work with




wat grade are u

[ballplayer10]

is it the same kiaser that plays football

[Boro08]

no im not that kaiser kid. i dont go to springboro anymore

[ballplayer10]

no i mean the kaiser u mentioned...is it the one that plays football........austin, andrew...somethin with an a

[borofan09]

yes Austin Kaiser he was 52 for football guard.....why do you ask?

[ballplayer10]

idk......he is a big kid, but i have not heard much bout him as far as baseball....is he any good

[Boro20]

Lots of competition for varsity spots at Boro. Should be an exciting winter/early spring.

[lefty28]

pretty much Jamie Sheltrown and Brice taylor are the greatest baseball players ever. period

[GCLbaseball2442]

never even heard of brice taylor

[FatDan816]

i think he means bryce drew

[GCLbaseball2442]

Ya that's what I think he means too. Bryce is a very talented athlete. He is really good at basketball too. He will need to be strong at short and hopefully bat a little stronger than he did last year

[ballplayer10]

well considering the competition for spots around him like the last outfield spot , 2nd 3rd and 1st.....there will most likely be a player who can hit better than him



dh for him maybe

[Boro20]

Bryce was facing varsity pitching for the first time last spring. He does not play a lot of summer ball, so he had a tough time closing the gap during the short spring season. I'm sure he'll have more success at the plate this year.

[Panthers08Boro]

Im guessing the starting lineup will be
C - Sheltrown
1B - Kaiser, Huss or Osborne
2B - Schubert, Hensley, or Streetz
SS - Drew or Sheltrown
3B - Dawley or Riley
LF - Reynolds, Monnig, or King
CF - White
RF - Streetz or Terrell
DH - Armour and Osborne

Pitchers

Feeley
Lakes
White
Coors
not sure about any others

thats what im thinking it will look like

[Stuck in Traffic]

Where will they finish in the GWOC south. Who is the favorite in that division?

[Boro20]

I'll take a stab at the defensive lineup just for fun.

C- Sheltrown
1B- White (Kaiser when he's on the mound) Neeley? Lake?
2B- Schubert
SS- Drew
3B- Huss
LF- King
CF- Monnig
RF- Reynolds/Streetz/Graham?
DH- Kaiser/Dawley/Lake?/Graham?/Neeley?

P- I wouldn't be surprised if 10-12 kids log IP. White, Lake, Feeley, Sillies, Drew, Sheltrown, Schubert, Monnig, Kaiser, Meinert, Hensley, Coors, Goodyk, Emmel..... maybe even more than that.

[Boro08]

respectfully i would disagree with some of the positions. I played at springboro and i know that terrel will be in the line up and the same with riley. someone told me that alot of these kids are undercalssmen as well? ive yet to hear about them

[Boro20]

Oops. I forgot about Taylor. He'll be in RF. I knew I was forgetting something.

Riley is solid, and is a competitor. Just not sure who he plays over this year. I'd guess he is a utility type on varsity this year. Catches some, plays some 3B and maybe try him out at a corner OF spot to get him more AB's.

[Boro20]

Sophomore class is talented and deep. Not sure how many of them will be varsity ready this year, but Boro will be a force when they're juniors and seniors assuming they develop well and continue working hard.

[13baseball47]

Here's my guess at the line-up this year.

C: Sheltron. Riley and Terrell might get some time behind the plate
1B: Kaiser, possibly Osborne, Neeley might play up
2B: Hensley, Schubert, Bryce could get some time here when Sheltron plays short
s.s.: Drew and Sheltron
Outfield: White, Reynolds, Terrell, Streetz, King, Graham
Pitchers: White, Monnig, Feeley.
Lakes, Coors, Meinert, Wilson
D.H: Osborne, Neeley, Graham

I think a lot of sophomore pitchers could get quality innings on varsity.

[13baseball47]

3B: Riley, Dawly, Huss? i don't really know who we've got at 3rd.

[Black Boxer]

Sophomore class is talented and deep. Not sure how many of them will be varsity ready this year, but Boro will be a force when they're juniors and seniors assuming they develop well and continue working hard.

Shievner will play won't he?

[Boro20]

Shievner will play won't he?

One of the best athletes and hitters on his team last year. One would hope that he'll play. Put him in the group of sophomores that could challenge for varsity time if he does.

[diamondguy]

What about freshmen? Any good pitching? There is a pitcher named Waldroff, I think that has only played recreational baseball, but is a very fast pitcher and I think a decent hitter. Do you think he'll have a chance making the freshmen team. I've heard they don't even consider recreational players-is this true?

That certainly isn't true, although 'rec' players often aren't as prepared. Don't know anything about the rest of it, though.

[borohockey6]

This looks more like a discussion we could have at school since everyone in this thread is mainly springboro people. Ahahahaha.

With that freshman coach they have up there, he doesn't have a chance to make it!! :cool:

[borofan09]

are you kidding me Coach Schmitt is an excellent coach he has a chance a lot of that grade played rec ball from what i know not much of a choice

[Boro08]

i agree coach schmitt was a very good coach when i played for him.

[13baseball47]

Coach Schmitt is a great coach.

coach wouldn't pass up on a talented player just because he only plays rec ball.
the only thing is that select baseball prepares you more for high school ball. there's more competition, more games, more at bats, better pitching etc.

whether or not you play rec ball shouldn't discourage you from trying out.

[Boro20]

Talk about the frosh team and frosh coach probably doesn't belong here.

Topic is '09 Boro baseball. My guess is that means 2009 varsity team, not the 9th grade team.

[Boro08]

with talking to someone in the program, they gave me the impression they thought a 7th consecutive 20 win season was coming, so we'll see

[GCLbaseball2442]

I doubt Springboro will be able to have another 20 win season. Losing 4 division players is had to recover from. I'm not saying they won't have a good team but to get to 20 wins is going to be hard after losing so much talent.

[Boro20]

Boro has graduated plenty of talent in the past and recovered nicely. Boro was winning 20+ games a season before those 4 D1 guys came in. There are some talented players that have been waiting their turn that will get a chance to shine this season.

The Panthers may or may not win 20 this season, but don't assume there isn't enough talent just because a talented senior class graduated last year. There is plenty of talent in the program.

[Boro08]

the reason i say another 20 win season could happen for 2009 is that the strength of schedule is not as tough as last years. that is what i was told from a player so i think with the players for this season that 20 wins would be preety possible

[GCLbaseball2442]

I'm not saying they can't do it. I'm just saying it will be hard. I have seen almost all of boros players play and i don't know if they have anyone who can throw over 80 besides maybe scott white. After that they don't have much pitching but their defense could be pretty strong. Hitting wise they may struggle because their top 3 hitters are gone in kendell, hough, and bailey. 20 wins is a lot to ask from a team and I wish them the best of luck this season.

[Boro08]

thats true they did lose alot of power hitting, last years team hit 29 homeruns i think so it will be alot different. scotty white is leading returning HR hitter this year as a junior with 4or5 sooo they need to find some other ways to win games

[Boro20]

You have a good point about Boro not having much proven pitching (and why would they with the 3 studs they had on the mound last year), but velocity is a secondary skill. High velocity will get you by at the high school level, but there are plenty of more important tools for a pitcher. Boro has had a lot of success in the past with key pitchers not being able to hit mid 80's with their fastball.

[GCLbaseball2442]

True I agree I just don't know who else they have behind Scott White to help them pitching wise. Guess we'll have to see what happens once the season starts and see who stands out.

[Boro20]

To me, it's exciting to see because so many guys haven't had a chance to prove themselves and now they get that chance. Some will step up, some will struggle. How many wins Boro ends up with will obviously depend on how many guys fall into each of those groups.

[Boro08]

well we'l find out in the next week or so who will be on what teams

[Panthers08Boro]

so Boro08. What do you think the Varsity team will look like? Lineup-wise

[Boro08]

well gimme a week and ill tell ya what i think and know

[lefty28]

james sheltorwn is the greatest

[LoyalBuckeye]

A twenty win season will be HIGHLY unlikely this year. Boro lost a whole lot of pitching and hitting. From my understanding, boro only has two kids who are really good. Last year they had a plethora of reallly good players that happen to all be seniors. So to say there could be another twenty win season is EXTREMELY optimistic and HIGHLY unlikely. But i guess we'll see.........

Boro did lose a nice senior class last year, but writing them off doesn't make any sense. Springboro won 20+ games when that senior class was in 6th or 7th grade and has done the same every season since.

Are you going to tell me that senior class made significant contributions to the varsity team winning 20+ as 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th graders? Hough played some varsity as a frosh, but was not a key contributer. The others were frosh and jv players all season.

There are talented kids that have been waiting in that group of seniors' shadows. To write them off already is unfair and flirting with stupidity.

Untested and unproven? Yes. Without talent? You don't know what you're talking about.

[baseball29]

james sheltorwn is the greatest

haha agreed

[BuckeyeXV]

Here's my guess at the line-up this year.

C: Sheltron. Riley and Terrell might get some time behind the plate
1B: Kaiser, possibly Osborne, Neeley might play up
2B: Hensley, Schubert, Bryce could get some time here when Sheltron plays short
s.s.: Drew and Sheltron
Outfield: White, Reynolds, Terrell, Streetz, King, Graham
Pitchers: White, Monnig, Feeley.
Lakes, Coors, Meinert, Wilson
D.H: Osborne, Neeley, Graham

I think a lot of sophomore pitchers could get quality innings on varsity.

No one has mentioned Kyle King. If he's not starting, he will definitely be helping off the bench. Strong left handed batter who can hit for average and power.

[Boro20]

I had King in my lineup.

First of all, you're obviously very biased in this situation. Second, it doesn't matter what those teams did awhile back, we are talking about this season. Third, losing three division 1 players, and bailey going to owens community college is going to hurt, BAD. I'm not sure if lamley went anywhere.

I'm not writing them off, i'm just stating my opinion that they will more than likely not have a twenty win season based on the facts i know. You act as if i'm saying boro will be terrible. :shrug:

We'll see how the "Untested and unproven" do. Just out of curiosity, who will be boro's top pitchers and what grade are they in?

BEST OF LUCK SPRINGBORO!!! PROVE THOSE OH SO IMPORTANT NEY SAYERS ON YAPPI WRONG!!! ANOTHER 20 WIN SEASON WILL DO WONDERS FOR THE GREAT SCHOOL OF SPRINGBORO!!

[Boro20]

I'm glad you have the ability to infer that I'm biased, based on my name and comments. Good for you.

To me, saying they only have two 'really good' players based on your understanding is writing a team off. How many teams do you know of can win games with only two good players? Does 'really good' = 'division one athlete' to you? I'd consider that definition a little strange.

Every high school program loses good players to graduation every year. Some even lose great players now and then. Boro's past suggests they do a good job of replacing that talent. They graduated D-1 quality talent all throughout the run of solid seasons. Every year 'untested and unproven' kids replaced the losses and the program kept winning. You may not think it matters what was done in the past, but a history of winning is a history of winning.

Scott White and Josh Lakes will probably be the top pitchers. Both would fall into the 'really good' category, unless my idea of 'really good' doesn't match your's.

[GCLbaseball2442]

lets all be realistic here and see that it would be extremely difficult to have a 20 win season after losing 4 d one players. Springboro has maybe 2 players who are really good and not much else talent that stands out. obvioiusly all of these boro people are extremely biased and need to come to the realization that boro isn't going to be that great this year. they may be decent but by no stretch of the imagination will they have a 20 win season.

[Boro20]

I think we're all saying the same thing, just with different tones. I've not said that Boro will be great this year. I've just said to not dismiss them just because they graduated a few talented players.

Again...... this is a program that has graduated talented players before and done fine. It is perfectly capable of repeating the process. The frosh and jv teams haven't exactly struggled lately. There is capable talent getting a chance to step up this year.

Would I bet on 20 wins? No, but I also wouldn't bet against it until after I've seen the team play this spring.

[borofan09]

Teams should be set as of Thursday.

[Wolfman1]

Pitching, pitching, pitching... Boro might find themselves a little light this season. Some younger arms will need to rapidly progress.

[borofan09]

Pitchers are gonna be:
Scotty White- starter
Josh Lakes- Starter
Adam Feely
Austin Kaiser
Ryan Meinert
Bryce Drew
maybe Patrick Hensley
not as solid as last year but they can compete with keepin the ball down and letting the solid D do the work

[Wolfman1]

Borofan09,

The list of pitchers has very little "varsity" experience off the hill. Hopefully they will mature quickly.

[swbl478]

Scotty White- starter
Josh Lakes- Starter
Adam Feely
Austin Kaiser
Ryan Meinert
Bryce Drew

What about Monnig? I know he is a pitcher only with the Dayton Classics.

[Boro20]

Monnig will get innings. Eric Sillies will also get a chance. I'd put money on a sophomore other than Lakes getting a chance before the season is over as well.

Every good varsity player starts out with 'little varsity experience' at some point. Some of these kids will mature quickly, some will struggle. Nothing out of the ordinary there. Fact of baseball as well as any other sport and even life in general.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

all i have to say is CLASS OF '11

[swbl478]

all i have to say is CLASS OF '11

So I assume that alot of Sophs made the Varsity at 'Boro?

[borofan09]

So I assume that alot of Sophs made the Varsity at 'Boro?

If by a lot you mean 2 sophs then yeah, Josh Lakes and Kyle King both made varsity this year. good ball players

[Wolfman1]

Monnig will get innings. Eric Sillies will also get a chance. I'd put money on a sophomore other than Lakes getting a chance before the season is over as well.

Hope I'm wrong, but I believe Eric Sillies is injured.

[Panthers08Boro]

So what players didn't make the Varsity team that should have? Or what players do you think will get called up sooner than later?

[Stuck in Traffic]

Did Boro scrimmage yet? If so how did they look? Any surprises?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

idk bout varsity. jv needs to pick it up

[Shangri-la]

What does their Varsity lineup look like now?

[Panthers08Boro]

idk bout varsity. jv needs to pick it up

What do you mean JV has to pick it up? Varisty got spanked and gave up 8 runs in the 1st inning. JV only lost 5-2

[borofan09]

The Batting order and positions are looking to be:

Bryce Drew-----SS
James Sheltrown- C
Scott White---- CF
Austin Kaiser---- 1B
John Monnig-----RF
Nate Reynolds---LF
Taylor Terrel----DH
Kyle King-------3B
Ben Schubert---2B

Comp. at most positions thought

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

if u lose, that means youve got to pick it up. its either that or settle for losing

[LivingOnTheBlack]

idk bout varsity. jv needs to pick it up

i heard junior varsity did fairly well against lakota east. looks to me like they're picking it up.

[LivingOnTheBlack]

Hope I'm wrong, but I believe Eric Sillies is injured.


yes, i believe eric sillies broke his collarbone earlier in the year.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

Eric is fine now. he'll be pitching soon if he hasn't already. jv is now only team with a W.

[LivingOnTheBlack]

technically neither team has played an actual game. in my mind, scrimmages are more for coaches to learn about the team and decide who belongs in what position etc., instead of winning.
it will be interesting to see how they compare once the season starts though.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

if a team has 10 errors in a scrimmage, u know they will lose during the year.

[Boro20]

if a team has 10 errors in a scrimmage, u know they will lose during the year.

Not true. Last year Boro's varsity looked absolutely horrible in one or two of their scrimmages. They didn't lose much once the season started. Scrimmage results (as far as W's and L's) are near useless.

[sportsman2667]

One of the best athletes and hitters on his team last year. One would hope that he'll play. Put him in the group of sophomores that could challenge for varsity time if he does.

No shivener is not playing anymore. Its a big disappointment really, hes a great athlete and can contribute a lot to the team.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

:wallbang: Not true. Last year Boro's varsity looked absolutely horrible in one or two of their scrimmages. They didn't lose much once the season started. Scrimmage results (as far as W's and L's) are near useless.

and this year there is no hough, bailey, ghysels, kindel. if we aren't seeing varsity's best in these scrimmages, i think it's close to it.

[Boro20]

:wallbang:

and this year there is no hough, bailey, ghysels, kindel. if we aren't seeing varsity's best in these scrimmages, i think it's close to it.

The varsity squad is much better than they've shown so far. They will be fine. Not a top 10 team in the state by any stretch of the imagination, but they will win plenty of games.

Hough, Bailey, Ghysels and Kindel are all playing college ball. It's time for the program (and everyone in it) to move on and focus on the kids that are here NOW. They don't deserve to be bashed just because they follow a great senior class.

[Panthers08Boro]

So what JV Players have gotten called up, or what Varisty players have gotten called down? I'm kind of curious to see what players are filling position spots on what team

I can believe that if on the 30th they come to play. No one's bashing them, but someone needs to put a fire in their belly. i love watching my school win.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

So what JV Players have gotten called up, or what Varisty players have gotten called down? I'm kind of curious to see what players are filling position spots on what team

There has been significant movement in the rosters for the first couple weeks and it'll continue. nothing is final yet. i would guess by opening day the rosters won't be totally set.

[Panthers08Boro]

I can belive the teams arent set. Im sure there is a lot of talent on both Varsity and JV. Any specific names on players moving around?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

dawley spent some time with varsity, lakes with both teams, goodyk will pitch some for varsity today

[yappi19981]

Any competition for OF Nate Reynolds? A nice utility player, but he may be a little in over his head starting. :rolleyes:

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

no. nate is a true outfielder. i think he can handle it

[Panthers08Boro]

I heard the JV won today over Hamilton. They went 2-2 in scrimmages. Does anyone know if the other teams logged any wins?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

i heard varsity won against fairfield yesterday. idk what they did today:shrug:

[LIPS]

i heard varsity won against fairfield yesterday. idk what they did today:shrug:

hate to disappoint you but Fairfield varsity spanked Springboro. Have to say your third baseman made a couple of awesome plays but then gave one back. He was a bright spot though.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

hmm too bad

[Panthers08Boro]

who made the sweet plays at third? Was it King, Dawley, Riley, or Huss?

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

dawley and huss were with jv

[borofan09]

who made the sweet plays at third? Was it King, Dawley, Riley, or Huss?

Kyle King was making some good plays at 3rd.

A stab at the lineup as of now anyone?

[Panthers08Boro]

From what I hear it seems to be

VARSITY
1B - Kaiser
2B - Schubert
3B - King
SS - Drew
C - Sheltrown
LF - Reynolds
CF - White
RF - Monnig

JV
1B - Huss
2B - Finnie
3B - Dawley
SS - Banasiak
C - Kramer
LF - Neeley
CF - Graham
RF - Wilson

seems about right. best lineup guess ive seen on this thread

[borofan09]

seems about right. best lineup guess ive seen on this thread

Would you say Taylor Terrell as a DH?

[Panthers08Boro]

Would you say Taylor Terrell as a DH?


I don't know. My best bet would have him there though.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

Would you say Taylor Terrell as a DH?

he's gonna be on the field one way or another

[bpdawg32]

Hamilton Beat Springboro on Saturday!! both clubs looked shaky on Defense

[viking08]

Josh Lakes is Boro's best pitcher. He has 5 pitches. He will be the ace of the staff.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

JV won 15-5 in opener against Edgewood. How did varsity do?

[Panthers08Boro]

JV won 15-5 in opener against Edgewood. How did varsity do?

Yeah JV Run-Ruled Edgewood in 5. I heard Varsity lost on a past ball. Too bad

[viking08]

I keep seeing this stuff about how good the class of 2011 is. Who besides King and Lakes is worth mentioning. Goodyke is a good pitcher. What else is there from this class. Sounds like some overrating going on from this class.

[Boro20]

I keep seeing this stuff about how good the class of 2011 is. Who besides King and Lakes is worth mentioning. Goodyke is a good pitcher. What else is there from this class. Sounds like some overrating going on from this class.

Huss, Graham, Neeley, and Coors are all very solid. There are others that have tools and could develop into fine players.... Kramer, Maher, Smith, Emmel, Wilson and Finnie. I'm speaking off the top of my head and probably left someone off.

No overrating going on. This will be a very solid group as they grow and mature.

[Panthers08Boro]

Varisty and JV have Piqua on Wednesday. I wonder how they will do. I'm sure Varisty will be able to improve

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

its hard to tell. usually dont know much about schools like piqua. they could be a surprise or a cupcake so the teams need to come to play either way.

[Boro20]

Frosh team opened up with a win tonight. Beat Talawanda 16-3.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

Well done frosh:cool:

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

JV goin into florida 2-0. Defeated Piqua 13-1.

[Panthers08Boro]

Anybody know how Varisty did?

[borofan09]

Varsity beat Piqua 27-2 tonight...good way to rebound after a tought loss if you ask me

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

what? couldnt score 28? a win's a win i guess :eek:

[Panthers08Boro]

i heard dawley and huss are joining varsity for the trip down to florida? is this correct

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

CORRECT. floridas gonna be ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnn:crush: :) :cool: :rainbow: :eek:

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

I heard there is a kid named Halderman who is a really strong fielder and hitter too

He's a freshman.

[Panthers08Boro]

I believe he is a freshman. Never seen him play baseball

[Panthers08Boro]

Florida should be a great trip. With the addition of Dawley and Huss to varsity, I'm sure they will gain some power in their hitting. Should be exciting!

[ucbearcatfan007]

is delbridge going to florida?

[Panthers08Boro]

is delbridge going to florida?

I doubt it

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

is delbridge going to florida?

freshman will not move up. people dont care about freshman, no matter who's on the team. It's part of being a frosh!!!!

[LivingOnTheBlack]

Josh Lakes is Boro's best pitcher. He has 5 pitches. He will be the ace of the staff.

5 pitches? that's impressive only if he can throw them for strikes. although, I believe a pitcher only needs 2 pitches to be effective at the high school level, a fastball and change-up. a breaking ball is nice, but not necessary.

I hear Boro Varstiy is comming back from FL with a overall record of 5-2 they went 4-1 down there so not a bad trip. While JV went 1-3 in FL

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

yup

[Panthers08Boro]

Varsity just got a win against Vandalia-Butler. 7-6.

[ButlerAviator83]

Varsity just got a win against Vandalia-Butler. 7-6.

Helluva game to watch. Very difficult loss to take as a Butler fan, but hats off to Boro. Great catch to end the game and gutsy outing by the starting pitcher. Would love to see these teams battle again in the tourney.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

jv beat butler 13-6. So a 4-4 JV squad and a 6-2 varsity team i believe

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

JV beat Fairborn 11-1.

[Panthers08Boro]

I know Varsity is 11-5, but what are the official records of JV and Frosh

[cats22]

Franklin beats boro today in the semifinals of the warren county tourney 10-2 boro has went in a complete different direction after losing so much last year. I thought they would be a little better as franklin threw a freshman pitcher at them.

[LivingOnTheBlack]

I know Varsity is 11-5, but what are the official records of JV and Frosh

JV is 8-7

[Boro20]

Frosh are 3 - 7.

[Panthers08Boro]

JV is 8-7

I dont think that is accurate. Im pretty sure they are 6-8. Thats what I heard yesterday

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

and yesterday they swept a double header. JV is 8-7. be quiet freshman

[Panthers08Boro]

and yesterday they swept a double header. JV is 8-7. be quiet freshman

Okay first off you are a JV Player so you have no room to speak. I play on Varsity. It's not a big deal. All I said was that the record of 8-7 can't be accurate. I've been talking to JV players and last week one of your teammates told me that your record was 5-8

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

9-7. xenia run ruled

[BaseballFan2009]

all i have to say is CLASS OF '11

Must be Ian Huss:rolleyes:

[BaseballFan2009]

9-7. xenia run ruled

Something Ian Huss would say. A 2 run game but a run rule?

[Panthers08Boro]

Something Ian Huss would say. A 2 run game but a run rule?

nah man 9-7 is their record apparently. Whoever longball is, its definitiely a player on JV.

[sportsman2667]

This post is not about freshmen or jv, its about varsity. its stupid to talk about kids who are on the freshmen team. they have a long ways to go until varisty and things could easily change. So all you freshmen should stop being so cocky and shut up and just play. JV is a little different though, some of those players are good enought for varsity but just fell short of the team. Atleast those players are getting some playing time though. So freshmen you need to stop trying to rep yourselves when your atleast 2 maybe 3 years away from varisty, just go out there and try to improve every year. None of the freshmen right now have enough talent to even make the JV team

Uncalled for, unprovoked and parts of your immature post are simply incorrect.

Plenty of freshmen have talent every year, which is why the varsity continues to do well each season. If there weren't talent at the lower levels, holes created by graduation wouldn't be filled well enough to continue winning.

How many posts on here are about some specific freshman? One that was made weeks ago? Give me a break. Take your "shut up and just play" advice and follow it.

I agree that post was inflammatory and uncalled for but, I don't think he was saying there wasn't any "talent" at the freshman level, just that Freshman talent wasn't ready to play at the varsity level. Clearly there are talented freshman. But, being talented and ready for varsity are two different things.

It is exceptionally difficult for a freshman to play at the varsity level.

I completely agree with you. Freshmen simply aren't physically mature enough at that age to compete at the varsity level in most cases.

I interpreted his comments the way I did mainly from the tone of his post.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

alright then boys. so uhh varsity got 5 seed and a game against trotwood. nice

[Boro20]

Nice draw. Looking like the Creek for a trip to the district. Looking like Mason is the most probable district opponent. Solid teams, but things could certainly look worse for the Panthers.

[Boro Ball1]

Springboro JV run ruled centerville tonight 12-2 in 5 innings. Jake Goodyk pitched a complete game for the Panthers. Does anyone know what the JV GWOC South standings look like???

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

I cant get an answer to what the Burg's south record is

[Boro Ball1]

I heard one of the Burg teams is 17-1...??? would that be varsity or JV??

[Panthers08Boro]

no because nobody comes on here to look at the JV standings.

ROTFLMAO!

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

Maybe u should read over this thread. You will first see that it is titled Springboro Baseball 09 not Springboro Varsity Baseball 09. Then you will notice that JV, freshman, and varsity have all been talked about. And if you look even closer you might notice that JV is talked about just as much as varsity. Maybe because the talent on that team that the program will have for 2 more years is exciting. By the way, JV is on a 9 game win streak, and it is quite possible that they will finish the season on an 11 game win streak. Just throwing that out there. Now make your best "smart" comment back.

[Panthers08Boro]

Talk about the JV, frosh team and frosh coach probably doesn't belong here.

Topic is '09 Boro baseball. My guess is that means 2009 varsity team, not the 9th grade team.

Im gonna leave it at that.

[SpRiNgBoRo long baLL]

The only reason that was posted is because an idiot was slamming Schmidt.

[Panthers08Boro]

.JV is on a 9 game win streak, and it is quite possible that they will finish the season on an 11 game win streak. Just throwing that out there.

okay this is what Im talking about. Everyone who reads this knows you guys are decent. You dont need to come on here and brag about your win after every single game. 99% of the people coming to read this forum are interested only in the Varsity team. Not saying you guys aren't unimportant, because you guys are our future varsity team, but for now the whole focus point is on the Varsity winning the GWOC and now going to the state tournament. Nobody clicks on "Springboro Baseball 2009" hoping to find the JV GWOC South standings. Now let's just stop this argument. It's dumb

Centerville errors gave them most of those runs. Springboro was the better team that day, but Centerville definitely shot themselves in the foot.

[LivingOnTheBlack]

Very true. A couple of the players had difficulty getting the ball to first base. :shrug:

you posted this as well. don't be a jerk if someone has a legitimate question.

Oh dang I did write that. Sorry about that longball. Let's move onto a new subject

So how far in the tournament is Springboro going to go? Who do you think we'll play after trotwood?
