Can anybody overtake Tallmadge in 2009?
My bet is no. Too much talent, good pitching and a good offense. Just hard to beat. Revere has young talent that could win league in 2010 but not this year. Wadsworth lost alot but still has good pitching returning. Copley has good nucleus but not deep enough for Tallmadge and Barberton must find a young pitcher or two to step up. North, Lee and Dague will be top returners on Magics but they have alot of other holes to fill with graduation (short, 1st,2nd,catcher) Tallmadge returns all their infield and lost only Campriana in the outfield. Mace is a big lost as a DH and number 1 but Kilway should fill that hole with Cochran as number 2. D-1 signee Paul Pakan will lead a very potent offense. Green is probably their biggest challenge but still not good enough.

I too think Tallmadge will be very difficult to beat in 09. Wadsworth has a very talented Junior class moving up to varsity that will fill the holes left by the graduating seniors. Wadsworth split with Tallmadge last year without Cutting pitching who was out with a knee injury late in the year. The Grizzlies will be very deep in pitching and will make alot of noise in the Suberban League in 09.
Is there even a question of who is going to win the league this year?? The obvious answer is Wadsworth... their Junior class has gone 42 - 5 their first two years with their best pitcher on varsity and half of their hitters split between the two. Tallmadge will be their only competition, everyone else is in a race for third

Tallmadge will add two pitchers this year, a senior transfer from Georgia and probably a freshman, both throw mid to high 80's.

Pitching depth and quality is the key to any season. It allows you to line up your schedule. If you have quality and depth you can overcome weather reschedules and a four game week that includes two or three tough opponents. Many teams often get caught having used their best guys early or lose a game to a lesser opponent by saving their best for later in the week.
Quality and depth should be a strength for Tallmadge this year. Rumor has it they have a freshman who has been clicking off a consistent 85mph since fall tryouts and winter work, if he can contribute at all that would help. A senior who moved in from Georgia is legit and will fill an outfield position as well as be a good hitter... supposedly he can also pitch..if so more quality and depth.

JV wins do not necessarily translate into varsity wins.
Other than Tallmadge who else is returning a lot of starting Varsity Players?

Wadsworth is a lock for the SL title? Where have you been? That isn't a serious post right? Do you even understand what Tallmadge brings to the table this season? And I would give you the jv record of Tallmadge's senior class but, oh yeah, that's right.. these guys have been playing varsity for the past 3 years. Their record on VARSITY has been 46-11 in the past two seasons (WITH 2 LEAGUE TITLES) along with a .500 record as freshmen supporting a weak senior class that year. And the ones that didn't play varsity as freshmen had about a 2 loss season on jv that year.

1. Tallmadge- They have a lot of studs all over the diamond..
2. Wadsworth- Always solid but have a good junior class comin in
3. Barberton- North is just a stud
4. Green- them and Barberton could switch...Green always has a lot of good players
5. Copley- always has decent players just need to put everything together
6. Revere- will suprise some teams in upsets but doesn't always play well against lower teams.
7. Highland- don't know much about them but don't think they have to much(could be wrong)
8. Cloverleaf- very young, a lot of soph's playing the field and pitching. Maybe two seniors

Suburban League should be tough as usual with Wadsworth, Green, Copley and Braberton challenging, but Tallmadge balance all over; O, D and pitching should make them tough to beat. You never know though what can happen in a two game series, and Coach Linn has his usual challenging non-conference schedule with a trip to Cincy again including Moeller and St. Iggy and others. He will have to decide who to pitch those games vs. who pitches league games. Should be interesting.
Hope someone can finally handle Walsh in the tourney, and Field could be tough as well. Hopefully they beat each other up ad have to throw their aces against each other.

if he was a pitcher yes, not as an everyday position player. One dominant pitcher can carry a team,ie: valencheck usually 1 hitter can't.

Let's get the suburban league discussion going again! We know we have alot of Tallmadge fans out there. Let's hear from everybody else. I am still saying that Wadsworth is going to be very tough. Tallmadge did not face Cutting last year and we split. I know you guys held back and did not pitch Mace in the first game. We did hit Kilway and Emling and won the first. It is going to be a great year!

Any scrimmage info. Barberton played at Alliance last night. Good game for 6 innings. I think it was 3-3 or 4-4 then Alliance hit our third pitcher pretty good. Lots of miscues.
Bud1024
03-18-09, 06:57 PM
Wadsworth played Massilion Perry. Grizzlies came out on top 5-4. Wadsworth pitchers each only went 1 inning and Perry did not really hit anyone until we got to our 7th pitcher. Wadsworth did not walk a batter in the contest. That will most likely be the best weather we will see until the tournament starts.

03-25-09, 08:26 PM
My beloved Grizzlies are showing their youth in their past two scrimmages. Brecksville beat us bad and we kicked the ball around the infield in barely beating a very young Orrville team. Bud is going to eat crow and agree that our junior laden team won't knock off Tallmadge for the SLT. A wise yappster posted JV wins do not equate to varsity wins, and I have to say this is going to be the case for Wadsworth.

Highland gave up 3 UNEARNED runs in the first 2 innings due to errors. The Hornets gave Tallmadge a very good game. Brad Raley got the start for Highland and gave up 0 earned runs Bryce Sedio came in for relief and gave up 4 runs. Raley really did a tremendous job. Highland very easily could have won this game.

Keen had 10 K's. Devils didn't hit well. Majority of the line up is slumping. And an update for saturday.. Tallmadge will play St. Eds at home at noon. Strongsville is traveling to Coffman so there won't be a DH there. St. Eds at Tallmadge 12:00 saturday.

Highland played pretty tough against T-town from what I hear... Don't know what happened against Revere, although I will assume it's our lack of depth as far as starting pitchers is concerned..... Still, shown they can score a bit, wouldn't count them out of any game, especially dependent on who is pitching.
GRPride86
04-14-09, 09:08 PM

Highland didn't see them.
I doubt if Wadsworth sees them being that the weekend schedule before them is against Cincy LaSalle and Cincy Elder.
I doubt if Copley see's both because the Saturday before they will play Canfiled.
And Revere might only see one of them because a team named Canon McMillan.
Green should see both because I think the Brunswick games maybe cancelled. It all depends on how many games get played between now and then
devilsathletics
04-15-09, 08:10 PM
You don't need to worry about Kilway and Cochran.. they're weekend pitchers. They'll each get 1, maybe 2 league starts on the mound. But Tucker Linder is a freshman who's gonna give a lot of teams problems. The potential there plus what he already has is unbelievable. And GR the Brunswick DH is cancelled because the sectional championship is that friday i believe. Tallmadge added Brunswick and Upper Arlington in a DH at Brunswick this weekend in place of that cancelled one.

North also hitting well with 2 HR's and 2 doubles in DH.

Tallmadge will probably throw their freshman, Tucker Linder, who has proven himself over the season. He's their number 3, but with a fast ball that averages 83-84 and tops out at 88, well, you could say that he's up there with the 1 and 2.
I can't find a bracket online for the Akron district. Anyone????
OK, got it. Link wasn't working yesterday.

A Tallmadge sweep of those games assures a share of title heading into final week and two games vs. Green.

Blue Devils 21-3-1, 12-0 SL Clinch share of SL title with win (3rd straight).
This is the one problem with High School tournament ball. Unlike Basketball and Football you still are fighting for a league title while tournament play is going on. With both teams still in the tournament neither team will be facing the others 1 or 2. Gamby against Kilway would be a good match-up, however this will come down to who's 3-4 is better. I would definately give the edge to Tallmadge. Keen and Linder has to be the best 3-4 in the league if not the entire area ( walsh, with Keller and Greve right there also).

Brutal week for GREEN? You just got beat by FIELD! Yes, that Field! Your farming neighbors directly to the Southeast, the Field Falcons! Are you serious? You didn't make it out of Districts because beating our kids and winning the SL Title was more precious. That is like us losing to Springfield! We drive just over the border to go to Wal-Mart just like you do because Green wouldn't have Wally World but Springfield would. You do the same. You got waxed! You had to steal home to get your only run! THAT is brutal! AT LEAST we will be able to say we were knocked out by a FED team IF and I say IF we lose! You lost to a Portage County team with one pitcher. "OUCHHHH"! I think the boys at Tallmadge thought they would walk all over Field, have Green sitting there for a SL title and be playing for the District. OOOOPS! It didn't work out that way! They cam out and put it on the Bulldogs, but Green still has SOMETHING to play for, even if it turns out brutal. The Devils blew it!

Typical for you to say that.. I could have predicted that coming out of a Green fan. Field threw one of the top pitchers in the state. He lost to Walsh 2-1 and 1-0 the last 2 years in district play. Umbright is going to Toledo next year with a high 80s fastball. One of the FEW games Tallmadge didn't hit well. And as for Green.. nice try. Come again. Play a schedule like Tallmadge and then come on here and talk. You're ridiculous. Not to mention that weak district you're in this year too. Field with Umbright or Boggs on the mound would stomp ALL over you. Don't even think you compare to the Tallmadge baseball program. Absolutely ignorant and stupid. Green's number 1 isn't even comparable to Tallmadge's number 4. You should be happy. No one expected even a second place finish out of you. Unbelievable. I hope you get out of that district.. just so you can play another team of Tallmadge's, Walsh's, or Field's stature and get hammered.

CANTON — Kurt Gamby’s two-out RBI single in the bottom of the fifth gave Green a 10-0 mercy-rule win over GlenOak in a Division I baseball district semifinal today at Munson Stadium.
A five-run first inning helped the Bulldogs take control early. They also scored a run in the third and three more in the fourth.
Gamby also was the winning pitcher. He allowed just three hits and struck out six over five innings.
T.J. Sutton singled and doubled for the Golden Eagles.
Green will face Perry at 4:30 p.m. Friday for a trip to next week’s regional.
:hello: :shrug:
Well? I know we will lose tomorrow. :rolleyes: That is what you will come back with. Yes I am just a puppy, but I still have my thoughts. Let me ask you this? Who exactly would you like us to play? We are in the same league as you are correct? We SPLIT with YOU! We beat Division I GlenOak twice now. We beat Division I Hudson, a perennial powerhouse (scheduled last year) at their place as well. We beat Division I Cuyahoga Falls in a DH. Also, we have already beat Perry and their ACE Messer, 2-1 this year. I heard this kid was supposed to be DECENT also, but he might only be on your JV. I know we are flat out lucky to even finish in the top five in the SL. That was a fluke! It happens I guess.
I am not the one who started this non-sense. You guys have a great ball club. The problem that I have is that MOST of you spout off non-stop. Notice, I normally just read here. Why couldn't you say, hey nice season Green. We split, but we got the SL Title. Good luck against those tough Federal League schools. Hope you get out of the District. NO CHANCE! You don't have enough class for that! I took my three boys down to Canal Park to see a VERY good HS baseball game and root on the Devils, a fellow league team the other day. Then I read this? I hope you never win another game.

Tallmadge beat them then, mercied them last year and Tallmadge them this year and beat them by a couple but played a terrible game. You have no argument what so ever. Perry and Falls aren't on the same level as Tallmadge, Walsh, etc. either! What was Falls' record? And split what? You split with Tallmadge? No. Because one game as been played between the two. Wow. Three years in a row. That's all you need to worry about. The last time Green beat Tallmadge was 3 years ago when Tallmadge started 5 freshmen. Split? You can't be serious.

Well said! If you saw my earlier post,you saw that I took my boys to the Field game to SUPPORT Tallmadge. That never (or rarely) happens in return. We ust get how bad we are, how lucky we are and how the next team will hammer us in everything. Itseems to me thatTallmadge has one goal at this point. Beat Green! We have a common goal in all sports and thatis play as deep in the post seasonas possible. Obviously, that hasn't happened in some, so I know I will hear about football and tiddly-winks. BUT, the focus isn't the SL Title. We played you this week, but knew we had two DISTRICT GAMES to win also. Would you rather be SL champs and sitting at home next Thursday or getting the chance to play in a Regional again? I think everyone here knows that answer.

You obviously don't know Tallmadge Baseball if you don't think those guys weren't thinking about winning their district.

He's not saying that and Walsh is not a typical D-II team they would compete for a D-I title a lot of years...He's not debating divisions he's just saying that Walsh has one of the best teams in the state let alone ranked in the country which is standing in their(Tallmadges) way....But green did play some hard teams and won too and you can't say that green can't beat Wlash because anyone can win any day of the week...But not going to bring down Messer because ive heard nothing but good things about him but Walsh has around 3 guys that are that calibar if not better(sorry)

05-25-09, 01:13 AM
but at the end of the day, they don't have the horses to get out of the District. As good as they are at the plate, they never got better at the little things that champions have to be good at. Things like defense, etc. I did like their schedule this year. I felt in years past that they didn't have a strong enough schedule to get ready for the ultimnate meeting with Walsh. Let's face it, the Suburban is not exactly the CRBC.
The other problem, and this is no small thing is that Tallmadge tightened up against Walsh. For Walsh, the District games are big games, but they play against big time opponents all the time. The are used to it. I just don't think the Tallmadge guys ever really got past the pressure of the moment. It is too bad, because they are good. Just not great.

bballnutz:
So the reason Walsh won the last three years against Tallmadge was they tightened up or the pressure? Maybe it was just one team hotter than the other at the time or one team maybe just a little better or it could be a great pitching performance from one team. How can you say it's KIDS not handling pressure. Don't insult either team with those comments. Winning 1-0 or 2-1 over Field was what? Them not handling the pressure or just two great pitching performances. 27 outs and Walsh scored 1 run. Failure is described as one not trying, not one giving his all and the results not being favorable. Going out and competing in itself is what matters. Have you never been in a situation where the results was not what you wished? Never had a child or friend or teammate strike out or make an error that might cost you the game? Tallmadge is a very good team with alot of talent as is Walsh. Don't take away from their season because of what happened. Every team that doesn't win a State Championship has kids that tightened up or couldn't handle the pressure? Good luck Thursday and I really like to see you bring home a State title. Every time I have watched Walsh they have conducted themselves in a very proffesional and humble attitude and get after it like no one else. They deserve what success comes their way.

According to everyone from Tallmadge, Green is a joke and plays a terrible schedule. The Bulldogs are a fluke! Now they will lose tomorrow and it will be that they finally played a good team. They win tomorrow it is another lucky win or one of the teams isn't good. I can hear it now!

Bullpuppy10, drop it with Tallmadge. None of the players, coaches or parents have any issues with Tallmage and honestly have respect for their program. My son and other kids have played against many of them since the Tallmadge Little League World Series team and have enjoyed the competition. Many will be playing with their players during summer league. Only issue appears to be with you so if you can't find anything positive to post about then just sign off as you are becoming quite an embarrassment to both programs.
Congrats to Green. What an awesome accomplishment. It is nice to see (2) SL teams make regional final appearances this year(Barberton-Basketball). Maybe the league can get the props it deserves in all sports. One more win. Good luck from the fans in B-town.
Not to start any crap but it is nice to see a home grown team succeed at that high of a level as top 8 in the State.

It is comical that you still find it necessary to post with this defensive attitude. To be honest, I can't tell how or why you keep chirping like everyone is bashing or doubting Green...maybe you should just enjoy Green's success and stop being so paranoid.
