I know the Rhodes kid throws at home, so, that Marlington @ Salem is Wednesday.

I agree. Carrollton has a solid team. They got swept by an excellent Marlington team and will struggle with Salem, just like everyone else. They just beat New Philadelphia and they are usually decent. They can win some league games this year. Minerva and Carrollton are the in Eastern District and the rugged EBC will help them in the tournament.

I wasn't sure exactly the schedule. My son has a game Wednesday as well. Maybe I can re-watch it on YSN.

Salem vs. Marlington this week... Should be a great week for the EBC. Can't wait to see those two games.

That would be great for the EBC to beat Louisville. I hope Minerva starts playing better ball.

Going to be great games, no matter who wins.

Warriors vs Warriors tonight. Will be a good game for both. Excited to watch it!
It sure would be nice to at least get one from Louisville. The Lions play well when the Lautzenheisers pitch. They are both quality starters, both are seniors. We are 2-0 when they pitch and 0-2 when they don't. Both had solid years as Juniors last year.. I believe Nick is playing D2 at Lake Erie College next year. The defense was actually solid in the 9-1 loss yesterday. they just need someone to step up as a quality #3.

Marlington beats Salem 1-0, checked the box score, Salem had more hits, less strikeouts, I guess just couldn't string anything together. Marlington scored off of a dropped third strikeout in the first inning. Both pitchers threw great. Salem's #2 had 13 strikeouts, he seems to be the real deal.
They got shut out by the pitcher noone talks about, Odey. He deserves some props. It is a must win for Salem today, can't start out 1-3 in the league and have a chance. Wilms must have pitched a heck of a game to hold the Dukes potent offense to 1 run.

Seems like there isn’t a true stinker in the league this year. Everyone has an arm or two to keep them competitive.

This was a well played, clean baseball game for both teams. No complaints.

More likely all rain outs today, besides possibly Minerva. Carrollton and WB is going to be a good game but it just doesn't bring the star power like the Marlington vs Salem game will have. I mean it's going to be Skleding (Kentucky commit) vs Rhodes (VT commit). That will without a doubt be a great game. Personally I have the Dukes. I said earlier Rhodes sometimes misses the zone and I know Skleding pounds the zone. That already give the Dukes a huge advantage. And I think top to bottom Marlington's line up is better then Salem's. It will be a tight game but I just don't think Rhodes can hang with the better pitcher in Skelding. Everyone throw your thoughts out on the game, it should be a GREAT one!

I am going to have to disagree with you on this one, Salem looked very good yesterday from what I heard as did Marlington. But, I feel like Salem looked like the better team. Marlington struck out more times than Salem did and Salem had more hits. Obviously both pitchers are great pitchers considering they are committed to SEC and ACC schools. But, I feel like at home Salem is a different team as you saw against Canton South. I feel as if Rhodes will follow in his brothers footsteps and throw a great game against the Dukes. I don't think Skelding can overpower the Quakers.
I would love to see everyone else's thoughts on this game.

I just do not think Rhodes has earned the credibility of winning, and on the other hand Skleding has. That is why I like Marlington.
Feel free to chime in!

False. At the end of last year he was stellar!! I am pretty sure at the end of the year he beat Canton South twice, came in to shut down the Niles game, and threw great in the Hoban game... and as you can tell he is starting this year off good too.
Skelding hasn't won many big games... lost to Salem last year, and got mercy ruled by Canfield in the tournament last year...

Well, now that I look back at it, I would have to agree. Still think the Marlington team is better then Salem. Could end in another 1-0 game. Skleding is just too good for the Quakers.

Definitely going to be a good one.

I wouldn't mind putting 100$ down on the Marlington ML. I will also set the line at Marlington -2.
Jk, have to put this just to cover my butt if someone turns us in. Lol

Quakers at +2??? That is a steal. Lol!

I can see it going either way, but keep in mind I am up 600$ on all my bets so far this year. I know my sports.
Must win game for Salem- a 1-3 league start will put them in a battle for 2nd place. I just can’t see the dukes losing 3 league games. No way I would bet this game but if I had to I would take Marlington. If the aces match each other I think the Dukes game more pitching depth.
I also think Alliance is starting to become the dark horse. Young and Bennett seem to be a pretty good 1-2

The Wildcats Sweep the Aviators. My fear of Alliance not hitting is back. What ending up being their kryptonite last year.
