Listen, I don't think they are having their normal year where they are above average. But I do think they shouldn't be a team that should be overlooked. They won an EBC game 10-0, that shouldn't be ignored. I think they are middle of the pack in the league. Am I wrong?
I didn't even see the nickname... might be a little bias! Lol.
Hit the nail on the head. I was also there. Quakers looked good in both games vs the Wildcats, things just didn't go their way game 1. Once they found the holes in the defense they looked great. They have a great amount of intensity and I love to see that. They are always talking in the dugout and they always find a way. The Quakers have impressed me so far. I thought they might have a down year.
That is good to hear. I have not seen or heard much on Alliance other then just scores and what not. I think the more competitive the league is and more teams that can possibly compete, the better. Right now the only bad thing is that the top 4 teams are far ahead the bottom 3 teams.
Alliance hasn't played the best teams, but they get the job done, no messing around.
That is a sign of a good team. Respect all, Fear none!
I think my Aviators can make a run!
I think they have a good shot.
I have a feeling the Dukes can make a lot teams look like JV teams, Carrollton beat New Philadelphia 3-1 in Saturday so they must be decent.
There's only three kids not playing that I'm aware of from the travel teams the last three seasons, one junior and two sophomores and I'd say none of them were game changers when they quit. I think this year we're a pretty solid team but probably not deep enough to compete with the top teams in the area. Still should be a fun season
The classic coach excuse, my least favorite in the book. Dads think coaches don't want to win.
The infield Marlington has is legit. Top of the lineup can hit the ball that is one thing that is for certain.
I feel that's the same way Salem is... May have a better 1-2 punch too.
I think this new troll on the thread was exaggerating a tad bit.
Who is Marlington's 2nd arm?
Garret Odey? NDC commit?
And that is all sports are about, have fun and make memories!
Sounds right.
I'm not certain.
EBC baseball is one of the top D2 leagues in this area, no doubt.
I think we were the only conference to have two teams in the top 10 in the PBR Pre-season Rankings.
I think you're correct. I am not sure if he is better then Salem or Alliance's second arm. Skelding vs Rhodes will be the game of the year if the coaches allow them to throw against each other. I would love to see ace vs ace but sometimes the top arm only throws home games and the second arm gets the away games. At least that is how WB is.
That is stellar. Almost unheard of. That just makes this a great league.
That would be a great one to see. Odey threw Marlington's home game last week. So maybe we will see Kentucky commit vs. the Tech commit. Would be awesome!
Sweet heavens, I'd love to see that. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to make that because my boy will play tomorrow. Will never miss one of my sons games. Someone make sure the give an update on Weds.
