O.K., since it's Friday night and we're tired (nobody left at home except us empty nesters - boy do I hate that expression), I would like to know how the different conferences/leagues compare to one another.  U. of Rochester has some single games scheduled against Brockport, Cortland and Ithaca, and these teams are ranked fairly high on the D3 national rankings.

What prompts players to choose these particular schools?  Is is just for the caliber of baseball, or the financial aspect of things?  Is it location?  I know back here in the Chicago area, many kids don't want to leave their surrounding area, or should I say that the parents don't want them to far from home.

I know that there are several good teams, like RPI, in Rochesters conference that are pretty good as well.  How would you rank these school baseball teams to lets say, a D2 school?  We have several good teams in our area that are ranked, and knowing some of those players, I'm trying to figure-out why they are so good, since I don't see that much talent there.  Is that why some of the teams in our conference, and across New York considered weak?

A little information might help me understand the New York teams, and for that matter, how D3 baseball is perceived to be compared to D2, JUCO's, and NAIA players and teams.

A lot of different things go into a kid choosing where he wants to play. It isn't just exclusive to New York. I think the main factors are 1) Does he feel comfortable there and 2) Does he like the coach?

Because, you don't want to go somewhere that you don't feel comfortable and don't fit in. When I visited Ithaca, I felt comfortable right away and realized that's where I wanted to go to school. When I visited a certain SUNY campus, which I won't name, I didn't feel comfortable there and felt like everyone thought they were better than me.

And with the coach, you're not going to choose to play for someone you don't like. You're basically paying to play baseball unless you have a financial need-based scholarship. And even then, you're still paying to go to school. If you like the coach, all the better. Say I visit school A, everything seems good there, but I'm not really a fan of the coach for whatever reason. I visit Cortland, meet Joe Brown, like him a lot and like the campus. Chances are, I'm going to consider going to Cortland.

And with the pay to go to school, that impacts your decision too. Some schools are just out of kids price ranges, even with the financial aid packages schools give out these days. A SUNY school may be more financially attractive than a private, especially with the stark difference in tuition costs.

There's also academics and what major people want to explore. Division III's aren't baseball factories so you're actually going to be using your degree after graduation. You hopefully want to go to the best school for your major. If you want to be an engineer, then you might consider RPI. If you want to be a baseball coach, Ithaca, Cortland or Brockport are all good options. And other schools are good for other things.

In the end, you want to pick the best school possible for your development, both as a person and as a baseball player. Sure,playing baseball is great in college, and when you graduate and don't go pro, you've got a solid education to fall back on. And those baseball experiences can always be translated over to life and where can you best prepare for life.

Jeez, I should work as an admissions conselor or something. How'd I end up as a baseball broadcaster LOL

Ralph,

Thanks for putting this together... it will be helpful when teams start putting up rosters so we can begin to see who lost what and who added what.  Rght now there are a few rosters up... Fredonia, Plattsburgh and New Paltz.

The liink to the Plattsburgh page is not accurate as it says there is an error... you can get to the page, just have to jump through a couple of hoops to do so.

Hopefullly this will stimulate some conversation about the SUNYAC...

Thanks...

Correction! if I'm not mistaken, Cortland played Christopher Newport in the snow last year and not Virginia Wesleyan and Dougher/Mattes combined on a 5 inning no-no in the snow.

cycle,

Welcome to the SUNYAC board!  Look forward to hearing your thoughts...

Either way, Virginia Weslyan or Christopher Newport, it was a very cold day to play baseball...  Brockport's opener last year was played in 32 degrees, with 15 mph winds!  No snow, but it was COLD... but it warmed up to 39 the next day... 

:D

Jeez, no one likes my Buffalo State joke? Tough room.

Though, I'm writing this post in Rock Hill, South Carolina where Winthrop's baseball team is already playing and they're hosting a tournament this weekend. It's in the upper-40s here right now and should be in the 50s tomorrow.

How many inches of snow in New York?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: BoomerIL on February 09, 2007, 09:09:30 PM
Buffalo has about a foot.

Rochester has about 6-8 inches.

Oswego, are you ready for this, has 5-6 feet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    :o    Yes, feet!!!!!!  There supposed to get another 2-3 feet within the next week.  At least thats what the weather guys have told us here in the Windy City.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: hitforthecycle on February 10, 2007, 04:35:24 PM
Thanks for the warm welcome Bob!  I too am looking forward to discussions surrounding this upcoming season.  I think the SUNYAC will be very competitive this year and am ready for the games to begin.  Here are my predictions for the conference:

1. Cortland
2. Brockport
3. Plattsburgh
4. New Paltz
5. Oneonta
6. Oswego
7. Fredonia
8. SUNYIT

I think Brockport will be decent but they have quite a bit of offense to replace although I believe that their pitching depth will help them quite a bit and ultimately be their strength to challenge Cortland.  Also, I noticed that they are playing quite a competitive schedule which should help them for post season consideration.  Final thought, my sleeper is New Paltz!  I just have a gut feeling that they wil be a bit more competitive than seasons past.   
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 12, 2007, 01:46:19 PM
John,

You were joking about the Buffalo State winning it?   LOL, thanks for the chuckle...

It depends where you are in NY... Oswego may not play this year as they have 100 inches of snow!  And no schedule for this year (at least not on their web page...)

  ;)

Cycle,

Always glad to see another opinion... as long as it agrees with mine!   ;)

What team in the conference do you follow?

I get all jumbled up when I try to put together a prediction... there are so many considerations. 

CORTLAND: I think that theyhave  to be the favorite just from past hisory... althought they've lost a lot.  With all the pitching back they still have to be the favorite.  They have some departures to fill in their infiled and batting order... but still have some tough bats in the lineup.  Bashnight coming back makes their outfield solid with him, Maycock and the transfer from Oswego, Coromato.

BROCKPORT: should be right there with them... They've been the one team (at least in the playoffs) that has beaten them.  And the games during the season last year were vey close and could have gone either way.  As cycle points out, they have some departures to fill too, they lost some esperienced hitters, but they have some talented young guys who showed they can play back... and they may be better hitters then the guys who left.  Time will tell on that... as they will now play a regular roll.  They (like Cortland) also have back all their pitching from last year..


I have a hard time figuring out 3-6:
PLATTSBURGH is young and talented... and has been improving annually.  What impact will losing Hoffman have on their pitching staff.  Also, Waldron will be missed... what have they picked up to compliment their talented young team?  We will see in the March games... they will be dangerous.

ONEONTA has been number 2 for the last 2 years, but couldn't get over the Cortland hump.  They didn't lose much from last years team, but what will losing Salamida mean to their staff?  Will someone emerge who can throw Salamida's innings and to support Weber in the starting rotation?  Also, this is the second year in a row that they lost a top catcher... is there a third one in the mix somewhere?  They have a lot back, and will compete for the playoffs... can they stay in the #2 spot or drop off?

NEW PALTZ: they may be the surprise team... but will have to have everyone have a best year to do so.  Have they found a bat to replace Kelts so that DeKams has some help?  They need to find some front line pitchers... 3 new freshamn pitchers, will the contribute right away?  Donohue and Stith show they are good pitchers, and will probably be 1-2 in the rotation... Who will the other starters be?  A lot of question marks... but then I guess everyone has a lot of them at this time of year.

FREDONIA:  I like them this year... they have some new young guys who may come through for them.  If one or two of these young pitchers produce, they may sneak into 4th place.  They have several guys who can hit... and I think that Murphy may surprise with his bat this year.  The questionhere will be can the young pitching step up and complete with the top teams daily?

OSWEGO:
The loss of Cormato may hurt them a lot... with out a roster up to see who is back and how many new guys its tough to say.  They have been in the middle of the pack for the past several years, I don't want to say they won't be there as coach Paino has proven in the past he can produce competative teams.  Adn they do have several starters returning... I think.  Seeing the roster will help.  I think they will surprise some teams on the field this year, like they did Cortland last year.  Will it happen enought to make the 4th spot?  Time will tell...

SUNYIT:  They have a lot of spots to upgrade... I don't think they can fill them all in one year.  I haven't seen their roster, so I don't know who is coming back.. or is new.  But for the same reason I have Cortland #1, I have them #8.... past history.  They may surprise... but from last year, they have a lot of upgrading to do to get in the playoffs.  But you never know...

OK, John tell me what I've missed here.... 

;D
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on February 12, 2007, 06:45:38 PM
I think New Paltz gets the rub this season because they have a new coach. Mike Juhl did a good job with the program but he's now moved on.

Marist grad Matt Griffiths is the just-hired skipper at New Paltz. Well, he was hired last July so he's been in place for a while.

Having worked in the MAAC and knowing the type of players Marist produces, I think Coach Griffiths is going to bring a winning attitute to Campbell Field. Though the way Marist has gone through head coaches the last few years, he might be the boss in Poughkeepsie before the decade's out.

It'll be tough in the first year for him but in the long run, this change will help. Next year will be the telling point since this season he'll be playing with all of Coach Juhl's kids. But freshman don't come in and dominate right away so it could be a few years. New Paltz has to be willing to wait things out rather than looking for the quick win.

With the pack pretty much even in the conference after the top three, New Paltz could finish anywhere from four to eight.

I don't think anyone other than Cortland, Brockport and Plattsburgh will crack the top three. Oneonta has the best chance to get in the top three or four. Maybe flip Oneonta and Plattsburgh at three-four but they're still better than everyone not named Cortland and Brockport.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: hitforthecycle on February 12, 2007, 07:30:03 PM
Bob, I must say that I'm impressed with your knowledge of the conference!  My nephew played for Oneonta several years back and I try to catch as many games as I can, time permitting.  However, I assume that besides attending your son's games the internet is your biggest tool when it comes to researching teams not only in the SUNYAC but around the country.   I agree with your assessment of the top two teams in the SUNYAC (Cortland and Brockport).  However, I think both teams success along with Oneonta will be largely dependent upon the success of their transfers and freshman.  All three programs probably have the highest transfer rate in the conference for whatever reason it may be.   Until the season begins and these transfers and freshman have their roles defined they can obviously be considered x-factors.  In no way am I Pro-Cortland but I do believe that Cortland recruits very well and is very appealing to many transfers.  Also, Cortland makes the most of what talent they have returning and somehow always finds talented transfers to fill losses from the previous season.  They don't rebuild but rather reload as the saying goes.  Depthwise, Brockport has more holes to fill than Cortland in my opinion because I don't believe that Brockport was two deep at every position like Cortland seemed to be last year.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 12, 2007, 08:46:17 PM
Looks like we are all in agreement on the top 2 or 3... and that a couple of teams may jump into the mix if the stars line up right for them.  It is fun to hot stove and speculate. but the real thing on the field is where teams have to perform, no matter what we think.

It will be an interesting year... and the new guys will be a big part of what happens.

Cycle, your right, I am at sons games and follow the season on the webpages to keep up with what is happening throughout the conference and around the country... by the way, Chapman looks very strong, 6-0 and they are hitting and pitching very well...

Cortland does seem to get a lot of transfers to fill holes.  I think there will be a few surprises from guys at some others schools we don't know about yet that may shake up the conference season.  Cortland has to be given the favorites position... regardless if they do fill all the spots opened up by departures, their pitching has to be respected. 

I think Brockport did lose a lot, the big one being Schwegler behind the plate.  However, I think that they've got a couple new guys who will step in and perform... and they did have several young guys who showed they can play.  The question with them is can they perform at the same level playing every day?  Time will tell... if they do, they will be very competative with anyone.

As is always the case, pitching is key... Cortland and Brockport both have virtually their entire pitching staffs back from last year, with a couple of new additions each...   Oneonta and Plattsburgh each lost their ace from last year.  If they are able to have someone from the rotation step up and fill those innings they will each be tough again.

Could the SUNYAC tournament end up with the same four teams again for a third year in a row?  Or will New Paltz react well to the new coach... or Fredonia's young pitchers show enough to push them up?  Or has Oswego brought in some new guys we don't know about to fill their needs?   and one of those three crash the tournament party?

I think John hit the nail on the head when he said:
"I don't think anyone other than Cortland, Brockport and Plattsburgh will crack the top three. Oneonta has the best chance to get in the top three or four. Maybe flip Oneonta and Plattsburgh at three-four but they're still better than everyone not named Cortland and Brockport."  But we still ahve to play the games... and anything can happen once the first pitch is thrown!

It will be a fun year!
Again...

Cycle, If your at the games, say hello when Brockport visits Oneonta in April...  we will be there!  just ask any of the other BP parents who we are.

Anyone else want to chip in with their thoughts? 
The fun and games start in 11 days!!!

Hey i'm new so take it easy on me. I do like Cortland being on top, but i
like Plattsburgh ahead of Brockport. 
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spree on February 15, 2007, 06:19:12 PM
looks like there are quite a few new players for the top tier teams in the SUNYACS as well as E8...ive been following section v high school baseball (Rochester Area) so i have a pretty good idea of local talent some teams have picked up.

I do like your guys order of SUNYAC teams:
1) Cortland
2) Brockport - probably the most improved team from last season in SUNY
3) Oneonta
4) Plattsburgh or New Paltz

Cortland got a couple of good guys from last years Section V class.  Andy Gardner is a great hitting catcher.  His bat can find away in the lineup.  They still have Zaccardo though.  Also, Carney.  Section V career strikeout leader.  Came from a small school though.  We'll see how he does.  I thought Basnight was a senior last year.  I wasnt expecting him to be on the team this yr.  Great leadoff guy.  Also heard that the closer Mattes, is out for the season with an injury.  Could be a big loss.  He was their flame thrower.

Brockport- one great addition i think people are missing is Jamie Rose who transferred from LeMoyne.  Ive heard hes in Brockport now, not exactly sure if thats true or not though.  He started almost every game in his 2 years at LeMoyne, not exactly sure why he would transfer to Brockport, but a great pick up.  Good stick, great arm, and can run.

Not really sure about the other teams in SUNYAC, but I dont think they have a shot finishing in the Top 2. 

The team that I really think has a shot to dethrone Cortland is Ithaca.  Great returning players, and rumor has it picked up some DI transfers.  Great depth on the mound.  Didnt lose any pitching from the year before. 

Fisher could also be decent.  They never have any pitching to get them anywhere though.  Great offense could make them tough to beat.  I believe Fetzner is coming back this year after red-shirting last yr due to injury. 
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on February 15, 2007, 06:31:51 PM
Rose isn't listed on the LeMoyne roster.

I agree, that's kind of an odd move to make, if he indeed is at Brockport. He's originally from Hornell so it's not like he's closer to home, well, technically yes but still a decent ways away. He played at LeMoyne too. He wasn't sitting on the bench.

If he is at Brockport, I don't think he's that much of a difference maker. The Golden Eagles still need to be bolstered by their pitching, since thats how they made their run in 2004. Sure, they'll probably score a bit more this year, but the key is the pitching.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spree on February 15, 2007, 06:42:11 PM
Rose used to pitch in HS.  Threw hard from what I remember.  Mid to upper 80's.  Maybe the transition to the D3 level could find him pitching again. 

Also, I find it a joke that Plattsburgh has 6 kids on the players to watch list.  Seriously are you kidding me.  What has Plattsburgh done in recent years?  Teams like Ithaca and Cortland only got 2-3 guys on the list.  How can Plattsburgh get 6.  Those 6 guys better carry them to the regionals for once.

How can you leave Smith from Ithaca off the list?  And I believe they got Wolf who transferred from UB.  Left handed pitchers are hard to come by and they make a big difference on any level. 

Im sure theres other guys on Cortland that are deserving as well.  Also, Rose should definately be on that list if in fact he did transfer.  He hit .300 at LeMoyne.  Whats he going to do against mediocre pitching in D3?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spree on February 15, 2007, 06:49:15 PM
BoomerIL,

is the catcher from MCC you are referring to, Sullivan by any chance?

Good kid...seen him play a couple times back in HS.  Looks like he had a good year last yr at MCC.  Unfortunately, I heard he is out for the season with a sports hernia.

1.Cortland
2.Brockport
3.Plattsburgh
4.New Paltz
5.Oneonta
6.Fredonia
7.Oswego
8.SunyIT
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 15, 2007, 07:27:47 PM
so what the chances someone other than cortland host the sunyacs this year? Or are we heading back to Wallace Field? Cortland has won 9 outta the last 10 titles and seem to be too dominate for their conference foes.

Cortland- Looks to be loaded once. Dougher arguably one of the best righties in the country and emerging southpaw Jweid should form a potent 1-2. Offensively they will feel the wraths of losing (Groff,Mead,Piovesan)...but dont worry much firepower returns with the likes of (Maycock,Robinson,Basnight) to name a few.

Brockport-Returns almost all their pitching from a year ago......but will the depth be their. Offensively (Wilson,Shallo) return to the mix....but other than there are too many question marks to be answered.

Plattsburgh- is a young and upcoming team but is asking several young arms to step up to replace the loss of ace Hoffman. Offensively (kowalski,hughes,coleman) should provide some pop.

New Paltz- My sleeper should benefit from the addition of their new head coach. If the donahue and stith are solid and the can find some offense to help Dekams....theres a chance this team will be playing meaninful baseball come May(something that hasnt happend in several years)

Oneonta- Will have a tough time replacing salimida.....and im not sure bout there offense.....Weber will be one of the top arms in the league but other than that theres a lot of things to be sorted out.

Fredonia- a team looking to take the next step.....must continue to sure up its pitching and defense. Huard returns (all sunyac pitcher) but will need some help if there going to contend for a playoff spot.

Oswego- may have the best offense in the league(loss of Coromato will hurt). If this team can pitch they should find themselves in a lot of games this spring

SunyIt- I believe just has too many pieces to fill.....not seeing their roster doesnt leave me with much to say....however going on years past i dont know if there gonna have enough of anything to get out of the basement.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 15, 2007, 10:09:39 PM
Hey, its great to see some lively discussion on this page, hope it continues through the season!

So the cat is out of the bag on the transfers... at least these two.

Yes, Wolf is at Ithaca to give them a little more pitching... with all their pitching coming back that is just what they needed, another reliable front line left handed starter... aren't Sottung and Peters both lefties?

And, yes Rose is at Brockport... John, he may be the difference maker, just by being there, but with his presence and experienced bat in the order to go with Wilson and Shallow... some of the young guys who showed they can hit last year will be in a better position to succeed.  They will be a fun team to watch...

Both players will have an impact on not only their conferences, but on the region too.

And Spree, your absolutely correct on the 6 players from Plattsburgh making the players to watch list... with some of the others who were mentioned (and some who were not) from other schools being left off the list.   I don't want to say the plattsburgh 6 aren't talented, as they are all decent players... just not to the level of accomplishment (or potential for that matter) to be ahead of some others who were left off.

On the national topic page, that was a big topic a coulpe weeks ago.. Ithink Plattsburgh had the second most of any team nationally.  you can check the national topics for that.

Humpster,

What are your reasons for picking Plattsburgh numbr 2?  that seems to go against the concenus... but then there are only a half dozen or so making any points.  Let us know why you feel they will be there... and what you think of the other teams as well...

And welcome to the discussion to you, Spree and Dr. Baseball too!

So whats the deal with Basnight....last I knew you were only allowed to participate in 4 years on NCAA athletics. If memory serves me right I recall him playing his Freshman year at St Bonaventure (as I followed a close family friend that played their with him) and the past 3 seasons at Cortland? 


Interesting hes still able to play....maybe your allowed 5 seasons now lol


7 days til the games begin  ;D
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 16, 2007, 12:14:35 PM
Dr. Baseball...

7 days until the games begin... does that mean your a New Paltz fan?  Or was that just a reference to the first SUNYAC team opening in 7 days?

Good question on Bashnight... He has only been at Cortland for 3 years, played more then 40 gaems each year so that he didn't have an injury hardship with them.  The St. Bonaventure baseball page only has stats bach to 2004, nothing for 2003 when he would have  been a freshman...  di dhe play all year?  If he did, I can't see how he would still be eligible.  Do you have any data from St. Bona 2003?

Interesting...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 16, 2007, 12:25:19 PM
Dr. Baseball,

Your correct... Jim Bashnight did play for St. bonaventure in 2003... so he has played 4 years of collegeiate baseball.  St. Bonaventure or the Atlantic 10 conference doesnt' have any archives in their baseball pages for 2003, but I checked some box scores for other teams and he did play in the second half of the season... so he was not eligible to qualify for a medical hardship.

Wonder what is going on?

As I said, interesting...

Post by: d3fan039 on February 16, 2007, 05:53:27 PM
An injury is one thing but just not receiving the playing time should not be a reason to be granted another year of eligibility. I'm sure there are many other cases out there where kids didn't get playing time as freshman and they never received a 5th year of eligibility. Im just wondering what the reason was that the NCAA allowed him to have another year.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 16, 2007, 08:36:36 PM
John,

Your right... there is now way he would be on a roster or get on the field if it wasn't cleared through the compliance people.  Just wonder what happened where he is still eligible.  There are a lot of things that can cause things to happen... and not having the inside information to any waiver request means we won't know.

As I said, it is interesting......

Post by: Humpster on February 17, 2007, 12:28:03 AM
Bob,
   I like Plattsburgh at #2 because even though they lost Hoffman they picked
up Matt Kelly from Hartwick and Matt Dahlin returned. Don't forget they beat Brockport not once but twice last year.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 17, 2007, 07:31:01 AM
I was not aware of who they picked up... Dahlin is a solid pitcher, and he will have to be the one who picks up many of the innings and match ups that Hoffman pitched last year.

Yes they did beat them twice, both close games... and unearned runs were the factor in the first game... so it could have been a split.  I know, I can hear everyone saying the errors are part of the game... and I agree with that.  both games were close and could have gone either way.

The series this season may be a big one in the conference that could finalize where both teams finish... as it is the last weekend of the conference season.

I think both Brockport and Plattsburgh will be in the tournament... just not sure what seed they will be.

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 17, 2007, 10:57:48 AM
Humpster,

Dahlin is a quality arm and should be a workhouse this year....but if your counting on a kid from Hartwick that wasnt even a .500 pitcher and had a 7.11 era with opponents hittting .356 off him to win you SUNYAC games.....with all do respect i just cant see that happening, unless this kid is better than the numbers are showing. Your correct about Plattsburgh beating Brockport twice last year and I believed they put it to them the previous year scoring over 20 runs in one of the games in Brockport. Plattsburgh seems to be a good regular season team, but i cant recall them ever winning a game come playoffs? Brockport has been to the title game, and just a few years ago played in the World Series. I still think this is Cortlands Conference to lose....but between Brockport and Plattsburgh I think Brockport has a little more experience.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 17, 2007, 11:40:59 AM
I don't know the boy from Hartwick, and havn'et looked a their numbers from last year, but from the kind of season they had I would tend to agree with Humpster.  And yes, Dahlin will have to be the work horse that Hoffman was for them to continue... but he threw 61 innings last year so he can't pick up much more.  So it looks to me to be a trade of Hoffman for Kelly and a couple freshman.

We will see how they handle it... when the big games come up.  Not sure who is on Plattsburghs early schedule, but konw that Brockport has 2 with Keene,  1 each with Montclair state & Marrietta and 2 with Mount Union before they start the SUNYAC games.  So they should be tested against some good teams before conference play starts.


I still say the double header on 4/22 will be a very important day and should be some very good baseball.  These games may deteremine the matcups for the tournament...



Only 6 days to SUNYAC teams get on the field and play begins!!!  14 days for brockport...



The two games in 2005... while yes Plattsburgh did win them in a very convincing fashion, were not a true read on either team.  As after the first inning of the first game the weather kicked in and the rest of the 15 innings were played in a constant rain/drizzle and winds of 15-20 mph, gusts into the 30's.  Yes, both teams played in the same conditions, but it was not a true measure of what either team was made of... there were several balls that went up in the air and outfielders ran in on them and they went over the fences, or blew a hundred feet from where they started as IF's & OF's both ran around after them... 

The games were only completed because of the great surface on the Clark V. Whited complex... if they were in a lot of other places the field would hav ebeen unplayable after an inning or two.

It was one of those days that when you experience the wrong side of; you get through it and it is over with.  You know the next day that your not either that bad or that good.  It is over and you move on...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 18, 2007, 11:35:51 AM
Bob,

You would tend to agree with Humpster??? What are you agreeing with that the boy from Hartwick(3-4 7.11era .350 oppponents BA) will be the difference in putting Plattsburgh ahead on the likes of Bport??
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 18, 2007, 01:06:34 PM
Dr. Baseball,

I mis-spoke in my last post where I said:  "I don't know the boy from Hartwick, and havn'et looked a their numbers from last year, but from the kind of season they had I would tend to agree with Humpster."  I was reading your post to humpster... and should have said I agree with "Dr. Baseball".

I must have just typed in humpster becasue that was the name IN the post...


Plattsburgh will be an interesting team... they can hit and have some solid position players, BUT their pitching will be what deteremines how far they go.  Last year, Hoffman (82 IP) and Dahlin (61 IP) carried much of the load for them... Hoffman and his 83 IP is gone... so is Waldron (47 IP) so that is a lot of innings to replace.

With Dahlin having thrown so many innings he can't pick up all the slack from losing Hoffman.  Someone else will have to step up for them... Gent (37 IP, 5 starts) and Painter (34 IP, only 3 starts - was their primary relief pitcher) will need to pick up some big innings to fill that loss.   IF they are going to rely on the Kelly boy from Hartwick to carry the load of Hoffman, it will be tough based on his numbers from last year.  Someone else will have to step up and throw more innnings... I am guessing that all the returners may have to do that, with say 8-10 more innings a piece. 

I only counted 23 players and 8 pitchers on their roster?  Can that be correct?  If that is and they have any injuries or bad outtings they may be in for a long year on the mound...

hmmm... unless they come up with a couple more pitchers they may be balancing the season on the arms of a couple of guys... Gent, Paitner, Kelly and maybe VanHouton and Tracy ( I don't know anything about either of them...).  We will see what happens when we get on the field and start playing the games, Coach Doorey may have a couple of surprises we dont' know about!

Plattsburgh will be a team to watch and have to deal with on the field...  Onenota can't be counted out either, because of their returning experience on the mound (Weber, Locke, Juedes, Arfsten & Lawrence all may step up to fill the void from losing Salamida) and while they did lose several good postion players, they have some good hitters back too (Galutz & Martino). 

However, I still predict Brockport and Cortland to be the two teams who compete to host the tournament.  The first conferecne weekend will be a big one as they open with each other...

John,

what more facts do you need.....I already stated that this boy played in games during the second half of the season during his freshman year. Can't anyone be curious of why he was granted another year of eligibilty....obviously Im not the only one who finds this subject interesting.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: hitforthecycle on February 19, 2007, 12:04:50 AM
For you people to question any program in regards to playing an ineligible young man is absurd!  It sounds as if you people are just looking for something to talk about because of personal envy.  One player does not make a season and is in no way worth jeopardizing the integrity of a program.  Do you think the team that you support in the SUNYAC would do such a thing?  I'm not a Cortland fan but I do feel for a young man who isn't able to defend himself from accusations regarding his eligibility.    
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 19, 2007, 07:50:08 AM
While I am the one who said that he played in games in the second half of his freshman year... I also said that we don't know what  may have been in any waiver application... so we won't know exactly what happend.  It is best left at that. 

With all the safeguards in place to check on eligibility and academic progress I feel that, as John said... there is no way that any school would put someone on a roster and play the individual, in any sport that has not cleared all the eligibility hurdles.  ESPECIALLY one who has their sights on competeing for a possible championship. 

I know a coulpe of the administrators at Cortland and there is no way they would let someone play even if their is a sniff of something being wrong.  They would check and double check to be sure that all the "I's " are dotted and "T's" crossed before anyone would be allowed to play.  I work in this enviroment daily and things are checked out thoroughly...


Lets leave it at that and talk about baseball...

1) Does anyone know anything about any freshman coiming on to a SUNYAC roster that may have an impact on the season?

2) Or anymore transfers who may impact the season?  WE already know about Coromato to Cortland (from Oswego), Rose to Brockport (from LeMoyne) and un-SUNYAC Wolf to Ithaca (from Buffalo)

Guys,

I recall an article in the Democrat and Chronicle back in the fall about an eligibility issue at Brockport.  A football player got away with playing games without even being registered for classes at the school.

If thats possible, anything is...

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 19, 2007, 04:19:15 PM
Spree,

that is correct... he did it without the schools knowledge.  Some how it was missed, so like you say, anything is possible.

That is one of three similar situations that impacted teams by having to forfiet games won that I know if within New York State.

It is rare that it happens, but it does happen...  Also, there are a multitude of ways to get a waiver for many different situations.  And if that happens, the information is confidential so we will never know... the thing to do is to trust that it has been properly dealt with and move on.

C Mike Zaccardo, Cortland & Dan Murphy, Fredonia
1B Todd Hughes, Plattsburgh, Jim Kunkemoeller, Fredonia & Travis Robinson, Cortland
2B Zack Welch, Plattsburgh & Joe Russo, Cortland
SS Tim Wilson, Brockport & Tom Ferrel, Oswego

OF Tony Coromato, Cortland
UT Rob Maxwell, Brockport
UT Matt Dahlin, Plattsburgh
P Jim Dougher, Cortland
P Jake Dennstedt, Brockport
P Mike Zgorzelski, Cortland
P Erik Weber, Oneonta

I know I missed a lot of guys who merit consideration... but this is just a quick pass through the teams from memory.

What does everyone else think?

Maybe 3 weeks into the conference season (4/16) we can see where anyone we mention stands and also look at an all freshman team too.  If anyone wants to put out a list of names I will keep track of them to see who is the closest at the end of the season.  Picks need to be in by Monday 3/19 to be considered.  I put up 22 names... so that is the cap on the number.  Lets here someone else's picks...

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: frozenrope on February 20, 2007, 01:06:34 AM
This is my first post but just wanted to add my two cents.

Plattsburgh has been the number 3 team in the Sunyacs for the past 2 years. The playoff games they lost to oneonta were by one run two years in a row. That puts them a bad hop or lucky break away from a playoff victory two years in a row. (note cortland beat them easily) . The comment about the 6 pre season all americans does seem a little absurd i would like to know how that list is compiled. But hughes and kowalowski both put up great numbers. I believe kowalowski was at cortland in 05 is that correct?

Also plattsburghs 2004 record was 14-23 (7-7 sunyac) 2005 25-13 (8-6 sunyac) and 2006 27-14 (10-4 sunyac) it does not look like they have yet to hit their ceiling potential. This is a very new program by the way. Im looking at their record from last year and 6 of their 14 losses are by 2 runs or less. that could put their record at 33- 8 not to shabby the potential is there for a surprise. they lost hoffman and waldron who both had good numbers but I'm sure that their are a few kids waiting to get their shot. Such as gent and painter. gent was 5-1 with a 4.10 era. A year to mature you never know.


Only three freshman that is not a good thing for them looks like some Hs players should give the school a look they obviously have a decent team and may be able to jump right into the lineup next year. their roster also shows a player who did not play last year but is on the team roster this year.

Lots of potential maybe they will break cortlands choke hold on the conference. Cortland though is the obvious favorite for sunyac champ. ITs amazing how many transfers they are able to get a hold of. The coaching there does a great job year in and year out. Coach Doorey does a great job over at plattsburgh as well. A new program jumping to the front of the pack is something you dont see too often.

Let me know what you think......thanks
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on February 20, 2007, 04:20:34 AM
Sure, they played Oneonta tough, I'll give them that.

But they've been beat on by Cortland the last few years by some pretty handy margins - in SUNYACs. 18-0 in 2004, 7-1 in 2005 and then 9-3 last year. Regular season's have been a little bit closer at points.

Gent and Painter's numbers are OK, they didn't pitch well the few time's I saw them against Cortland.

No idea if Kowalowski was at Cortland, but if he was, he didn't see the light of day off the bench because I remember no one by that name playing for the Dragons in 2005.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 20, 2007, 09:12:59 AM
John,

you couldnt have said it better. If Plattsburgh wants to earn respect they need to win games when it counts. Have they ever won a playoff game???? It isnt just Cortland taking it to them....I believe Oneonta and Brockport have as well. Gent and Painter did have good numbers but who were they pitching against.....i dont recall it being Oneonta or Brockport and I believe one of them threw against Cortland and got shelled giving up 13 or so hits and a ton of runs. I agree a year of experience should help gent and painter.....but if Plattsburgh wants respect they need to win when it counts. Brockport has 11 out their 18 loses by 2 runs or less that puts them at 37-8. Cortland has 4 of their 9 by 2 runs or less that puts that at 43-5......so i dont by they record you said plattsburgh could of had.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 20, 2007, 09:29:17 AM
Plattsburgh 0-8, outscored 71-16 in the SUNYAC toruney the last 4 seasons.

If plattsburgh is expecting to take that next step they must turn that around....I cant see this team competing with Cortland....if theres one team that put it to them in years past it was Cortland and I expect this to happen again. Good teams find ways to win the close games.....when Plattsburgh starts doing that in the postseason then ill consider them a serious contender in this conference.....until then they'll just be a team that puts together some solid regular season numbers, but cant get it done when it counts
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 20, 2007, 10:16:21 AM
WOW, two brand new posters to the SUNYAC board... HotSouptrio and Frozen rope... WELCOME to both of you!!!  I look forward to hearing your viewpoints and opinions.

This is all a good healty exchange of ideas... so don't be scared away by others with opposite opinons.


Hot Soup,
Your correct... Mike Sparks was one of the 1B's for Brockport last year.  He basically split the position with Rob Maxwell (yes, he is a relation to me).  If you take away the games that Maxwell pitched in they pretty much split the position evenly (55-60/40-45 - Sparks/Maxwell).  Sparks finished many of the games that Maxwell started as a late inning defensive sub or after a pinch runner...  Also a half dozen or so games were played by Moran and Biviano...

Mike will be missed, as he is a superb defensive first baseman, a reliable hitter with a knack for getting the timely hit, and is a leader and solid character person.  He will be hard to replace within the team chemistry... as he is a great young man!


Frozenrope,
I understand what your saying about Plattsburgh, coach Doorey has done a terrific job of building a program in the 6 years since they begann playing.  I respect them on the field as they always play the game hard and are competative... and they beat Brockport twice last year in two very good games.   :-\

However, I don't think that your reference to 6 of their 14 losses being by two or less runs really has any bearing on where they are.  That can be applied to a lot of teams...

If you apply that criteria to Brockport in the 2006 season, 11 of their 18 losses were by 2 or fewer runs.    If we say that those 11 lossses were wins, that would make their record 37-7 overall, 12-2 in the conference and they would have won the SUNYAC championship in the final game against Cortland.

Additionally, Brockport played a much tougher schedule then Plattsburgh did, as 7 of those 11 were to teams who were nationally ranked at the time they played the game (they also won 3 games against nationally ranked teams so they were 3-7).   I am not as familiar with Plattsburghs schedule from last year, but at a quick glance they played 4 games against nationally ranked teams (3 against Cortland adn one against RPI, for an 0-4 record)...

So the arguement can be made for many teams that they were close... hopefully for Brockport, those close games against strong teams will translate into having paid their dues, learning and winning more of those games this year.

However, you never know what will happen, as this year is a new team, with chemistry that has to once again bond, so we will see what happens...


AGAIN, welcome to both of you... I look forward to hearing your viewpoints and opinions!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 20, 2007, 10:38:32 AM
Another quick comment reading John's and Dr Baseball's posts... To advance in the tournament, you need to be more then a one pitcher team.  The number 2, 3 & 4 starters need to be able to beat the good teams too.

I was sitting in the bleachers last year when the Plattsburgh team came back to the field to play the the game against the loser of the Brockport-Cortland game.  I heard at least a half dozen of them make a very strong statement of discouragement when they saw that Cortland was losing the game. 

They thought they would be playing Brockport, and when they found out it would be Cortland, they pretty much lost the game before it started because they didn't want to paly Cortland...

As John and Dr. BAseball indicate... they need to get over the mental hump of Cortland.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Jim Dixon on February 20, 2007, 12:27:54 PM
Baseball is 90% mental—the other half is physical.

I was at one of the Championship Series where the first 10-11 games were won all by the visiting team.  This was the only instance I can think of why one coach with the choice take visitors over home team.  They started the game with 3 runs in the first and the game was over after 1/2 inning becasue one team thought they would win and the other had their doubts.

Well its true lots of teams lose close games and good teams do indeed find a way to win. The line about team chemistry is 100% true also. A good team does not neccessarily have to have the best players to win the players they do have need to come together, realize their roles and play like a team. A team that plays hard and plays together can beat a better team.

Do not take what i am saying the wrong way cortland is the favorite hands down, they beat up plattsburgh basically every time they have played. Im looking at their potential. They have a shot to be a number one team if they play up to their abilities. they need to want to beat cortland and cannot be scared of playing them. I would like to see cortland get beat it would give us a little more to talk about.

I  would find it disappointing as a coach to hear my players basically scared to have to play cortland instead of brockport. If i was coach doorey i would want to play cortland in an important game. his program is in a solid number three spot in the sunyacs. But if his team cant beat cortland they have no chance of moving to the top. im sure thats where he wants to be.

Hello everyone i am new to this posting site. I am a former empire eight assistant coach. I just wanted to reply to the people who were kind of bashing matt kelly the new addition to plattsburgh. I was actually his pitching coach at hartwick. Expect him to be a big factor in this league this year. His numbers at hartwick were bad ill give you that but his first two college starts he gave up a combined 20 earned runs. His last four starts he had an era under 3.5. He pitched against nationally ranked Ithaca and we got beat 6-0 all 6 of his runs unearned and he went 6 innings giving up only four hits. He also shut down Oswego who is in your conference and he beat the team he is playing for now, Plattsburgh. With him and his buddy dahlin, from what he told me, they are going to be an extremly tough 1-2 punch, and if the gent kid can be a solid 3 i think they will be tough. Gonna be a fun sunyac year from what it looks like

NYFan... welcome, another informed poster... great to hear you comments.

Well, thanks for the insight on Matt Kelly... I don't know if he was being bashed by anyone... more like with the numbers he had on a team that had a poor record, we were questioning if he would be able to fill the gap left by the departure of Hoffman.  Your insight puts a brighter light on it as you've given us some background information as to how he arrived at the numbers.  sounds like after a very rocky start, he figured out how to pitch in college...  good for him!

From what you say, he should fit in nicely as Plattsburgh has 129 innings to fill...  and help carry some of the load that Hoffman shouldered for Plattsburgh.  Pitching is the one thing that was questionable on the Plattsburgh team... not the ability of the pitchers there, just who will replace the lost innings of Hoffman and Waldron.

Do you have any insight into the roster numbers on the Plattsburgh team?  I only see 8 pitchers listed...  that is a pretty thin staff.

Are you coaching somewhere else now?  Or in the real world of work?

Glad you decided to post, look forward to your insights through out the year... it will be an interesting year!

Dr. Baseball,

You picked Josh Hicks from Cortland... do you know something about him?  I don't know anything about him.  Can you fill us in?

Also, Jpeg mentioned that Nick Perioli from Oswego was hurt during the basketball season... does anyone have an update on his condition?  No Roster for Oswego yet... and if he is out that will be another big blow to them especially after losing Coromato to transfer....
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: d3fan039 on February 20, 2007, 05:12:06 PM
Bob,

Yes Hicks was one of the best players from the Herkimer CC team that went to the JUCO World Series last spring.....I believe he originally was suppose to be at Bryant College a D2 school. With Will Groff being gone....he may be the best 2b in the sunyac this spring.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 20, 2007, 05:58:29 PM
Thanks for the update... I didn't know who he was.  In my all sunyac predictions, I put Russo down from Cortland thinking he may play there... one of the guys I guessed on. 

Looking at your names, I forgot about Jweid... but still think that Dennstedt will be a good one so I will stick by that.

Thanks again...

Everyone else is still doing the homework that Dr. Baseball assisgned...

Checking the basketball boxscores from last night, I went into the Oswego page to check if Nick Perioli played.  He did not, and was not in the statistics for the entire year... but was listed on the roster.

Does anyone know if he is or was hurt?  And if he will be playing baseball this season?  No roster for Oswego up yet, so can't check...

Bob,
You're such a polific poster in many places. Have seen you on SUNYAC basketball board on occasion. Thought you were aware that Perioli blew  out a knee last summer and, yes, missed the entire hoop  season. May have (probably) cost Oswego title, though certainly would have been interesting vs. Bport. Lakers had pretty solid array anyways.

We have inquired several times about his baseball  fate. Was an all-star there as well as on the court as point guard.

Don't think Joe Brown's Cortlands can be unseated this spring. This would appear to be one of his best,  and he's had the goods in the past. Has plugged holes, and Coromato is HUGE pickup in replacing Mead. Dragons debut shortly in Virginia

Hey Bob, being that you are the assistant A.D. for facility operations at SUNY Buffalo, do you feel that it's professional for you to post blogs concerning college athletics?  Issues regarding facebook and my space are hot topics in the world of college athletics and wouldn't you agree that blogging of student-athletes as an administrator could be considered questionable in judgement, interesting....?  Not that your conversations are stimulating and interesting but you passing judgement on programs and athletes....your thoughts?

I predict that we will all bow down and worship at the throne of Nick DeVito at the end of the year.

LOL OK, well, maybe by the end of the next year.

I haven't checked out any baseball stuff in regards to the teams I don't really know well (Fredonia, SUNYIT, Oswego) since I'm kind of busy with the end of the basketball regular season and the start of playoffs in a week or so. Once I'm wrapped up down here, I'll glance over what those three have coming back. Since they only go to Cortland every other year, I never saw any of them at Wallace Field.

I can't remember if I came up with that or not. I want to say that one of the student workers in the Cortland press box actually said it first. Of the Cortland nicknames over the last few years, there's been Will "The Thrill" Groff (coming soon to a APPY or NY-P park near you), "Mr. Speed" Andy Mead (coined by Gordon Mann when he was a freshman), Jimmy "Dy-NO-Mite" Basnight, Steve "Hello" Newman, "The Big Z" Mike Zaccardo, "The Z Man" Mike Zgorzelski, and "The Liverpool Express" Jimmy Dougher. I think that's it, I'll have to ask Gordon if he remembers only others from the earlier teams in 2003 and 2004.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 21, 2007, 12:06:07 PM
Cycle,

Very good question... and I have no problem answering it.

If I was posting about anything that I do at work, or that impacts anyone that we play against, or that could influecne anything that I deal with at work... then I would agree with you that it is not something that I would be doing.

However, posting as an interested party (both as a fan and parent) there is not any conflict of interest at all.  Nothing that is on this board could even remotely be considered to fall into anything that I deal with or would have any influence over with my position.

Also, I don't think I've passed judgement on any individuals or programs.  I have voiced my opinions and given my viewpoints on topics that we've all discussed.  Perhaps with a knowlege of the NCAA rules that some posters may not have... but I don't believe anything that I've posted on here can be considered as malicious or derogatory towards any individual or program.  To the contrary, I believe that I've always balanced anything that could be even remotely considered as a possibly "politically incorrect" by any poster (including myself)... with the comments that we don't know all the information so we should not be passing judgement on or questioning anyone's personal integrity (be it a studnet athlete or a professional staff).

I respect your right to post here... and to provide your opinions and viewpoints... and in fact welcome the insights and views of anyone willing to offer them.  

I won't make an issue of it, as it is your right to post... but you're reference to my position and asking if I feel I've crossed some unethical line is far closer to crossing that same line then anything in my postings.  It seems as if your suggesting that I've in some way acted unethically...  

Obviously, by you searching my information out and the tone of your comment to Dr. Baseball, something I've said has hit a nerve and is bothering you... if that is the case, please contact me and we can get it straightened out.  But this is not the forum for that discussion.  You must have my contact information...

I stand by what I've said... and I am posting as a fan and parent.  I feel as if I've balanced what I've said... and done so with restraint and integrity.  If you want to discuss anything further, I am more then willing to do so.  As I don't want to let anything that may grow hostile continue... especially on a public message board.


Dr. Baseball, thanks for the support... but I feel that I've addressed the question to Cyle's satisfaction.
Title: Re: SUNYAC

John,

We all look forward to your predictions...

And some of your nicknames and calls of those nicknames, for the cortland players have been very entertaining in the last 3 years since I've been involved in SUNYAC baseball.  They will be missed if your not back at Cortland this year...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 21, 2007, 12:16:34 PM
jdex,

I was not aware of the injury to Nick... my primary interest on this message board is baseball, specifically SUNYAC baseball... I started reading the basketball board as the season neared its end because both Brockport teams were in the race... I picked up on the injury reading on that board.

Hate to see anyone injured, especially a bad one... I only hope that he is able to come back next year to complete his eligigility in both basketball and baseball.  I don't know if he will play baseball this year, as the Oswego roster is not up.

Cortland will be a tough nut to crack (again), but as you can read on this board, we have not fans from Brockport, Plattsburgh, Oneonta and New Paltz... who all feel our teams have a shot at beating them.

That is why we play the games....
Just to have the shot to win!

Bob, very well put and I respect your response.  In regards to my tone with Dr. Baseball, it was merely due to his response to a question that was not posed to him that's all.  There is no hostility on my part in regards to you personally, I just just differ with you on the role of an Assistant A.D.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 21, 2007, 03:24:44 PM
Cycle,

Thanks for that... and I can understand where you could view the postion and this board as a potential conflict.  If I was involved at the D-III level I would agree with you... but the designated level is different.

My son chose to play where he is for all his own reasons, and they were all very well thought out.  The 3 most important being that: 1) he liked the school and felt comfortable on the campus; 2) He can study what we wanted to and his instructors are all first rate "teachers" and not just PHD's; and 3) The baseball program is competative and led by a coach who is a great person whoboth  demands and gives respet. 

Now that he is where he is, I try my darndest to only be a parent when at his events... and try to be on my best, non meddling behavior too.

I enjoy sharing on this board, as everyone here is both knowlegable and a fan!!!

Look forward to more exchange of viewpoints!

talk about having a lot of time on your hands...going out of your way to find out a poster's profession...pretty pathetic if you ask me. 

personally, I could careless if Bob was the head coach of Cortland.  Everyone has their own opinion and its interesting to see what people think.  I actually would welcome a coach to the board.  At least we could finally get some good insight around here. 

Its always nice for people like McGraw and Bob, people who are closer to the game than the average fan.

why dont you come up with some valuable information before you talk next time

thank you, come again

You couldnt have said it better.  Has cycle even brought up any relevant information besides Christopher Newport played Cortland. Every post ive seen has been him backlashing someones comment.

I recall and early discussion about Mattes and Bilyk....anyone know why they aren't listed on the roster with numbers. I hear Mattes jumped off a roof and broke his leg....I don't if that true or not, so we can only speculate.

SUNYAC opener tom for New Paltz, and Cortland on Saturday
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 23, 2007, 08:13:23 AM
Dr Baseball,

I think that someone did mention that one of them was hurt doing some type of silly stunt... believe that was Mattess.  Not sure on Bilyk.  I think it was John who mentioned it.  But if anyone has any more information, lets hear it!

Wonder what the field conditions are in Maryland and Virginia... not sure where the rain cut off yesterday.  Will be nice to read about games!!!  FINALLY! With it being 13 degrees here this morning... it will be nice to see a box score from a game played within the last 9 months!!! :D


As for the other issue...   It has been dealt with and it is over with, so lets just drop it.


What is the quote from the rookie?  When Jimmy Morris comes backinto the AAA locker room after he was contemplating quiting...  "Hey Brooks, guess what we get to do today... we get to play baseball"

That is a stretch, as  we donn't actually get to play... but we do have games to follow, just the the south and west regions have for 3 weeks now.

Play Ball!!!

Looks like New Paltz got off to a pretty good start this afternoon......St Mary's handed them a 24-9 shalacking. Opening day starter freshman John Giuliano tagged for 12 earned runs(must have high thoughts on the kid starting him over some of the veterans) unless New Paltz is saving there better arms for the 3 game series with Randolph Macon beginning tomorrow
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 23, 2007, 08:19:08 PM
WOW... they did get blasted.  But one of the new guys had a good day at the plate.  1B - Marsh (2-4)

And DeKams had a good day at the plate too.   3-5   AND, C- Helf went 3-4

But pitchign is a big part of the game...so they need to get more from their veterans...

Cortland whacks host Hampden-Sydney, Va, 13-7, in opener. J. Dougher wins with five inning five-hit, one walk performance. G. Jweid gets save in three innings work. M. Vitalone 3x4, 3bi; T. Robinson 3x7; M. Zaccardo and D. Maycock each poke pair of doubles. NCBA sixth ranked Red Dragons currently playing Richard Stockton. Go Sunday at Mary Washington, Va., though weather may not cooperate (rain).

No box scores on websites yet... if both pitchers threw so well... how did they give up 7 runs?  I know it happens... just wondering.  Sounds like it was the one inning when they gave up 6.

New Paltz had a coulpe better games yesterday, but they lost them both...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: h-sc bball on February 25, 2007, 10:45:09 AM
I'm sorry I don't know all names but the coach pitched Dougher the 1st 5...he was sharp...good command of 3 pitches....then he brought in a lefty ( I can't remember his name) that couldn't find the plate...he pitched behind in the count and we had your typical big inning with some walks..hit batter.... a couple of seeing eye hits and then the one big shot and well you got 6 before you know it. Sydney just got the bats going...you brought in a right hander to try and finish the 6th but gave up a couple of hits before he stopped the bleeding. Jewd came in the bottom of 7th and just painted corners...in and out...he only gave up one hit....real crafty pitcher with a lot of movement on his fastball.

Cortland's game against Mary Washington was cancelled because of snow. Weather's pretty awful here in the Commonwealth today and up-and-down the southern portion of the eastern seaboard.

Cortland's game against Hampden-Sydney is a re-match of a game from the Division III World Series a few short years ago.

h-sc,

thanks for the update... with it being said that Dougher and Jweid pitched so well, I just wondred how they gave up 7 runs (6 in one inning).  Wonder if the two guys who came in and struggled were freshman?  they have four lefties in the bull pen (besides)Jweid), two freshman and a sophopmore (Limbach who didn't pitch for them last year), and Hopper who is experienced and is most likely a starter.

Wonder who it was...

We will see when the box scores show up.

Cortland, ranked sixth nationally, opened its season with a 13-7 win at Hampden-Sydney (Va.) and a 9-4 win over Richard Stockton (N.J.) on Saturday in Virginia. Jimmy Dougher allowed five hits and one walk in five innings for the win vs. Hampden-Sydney. George Jweid pitched three innings for the save. Matt Vitalone went 3-for-5 with a double, triple and two RBI, Travis Robinson was 3-for-6 and Mike Zaccardo and Dan Maycock each hit two doubles. Mike Zgorzelski pitched five innings of six-hit ball for the win vs. Richard Stockton. Maycock went 3-for-5 and Robinson 2-for-5.

Matt Tone freshman lefty finished game 2 and did a fabulous job!  Hooper is recovery from surgery from the end of last summer.  Will most likely be ready for Florida in a couple weeks!

Dr. Baseball, you need to seriously get over the Basnight thing.  Your deal is starting to get old and you're really making it apparent that this situation has really struck nerve with you in some way.  As I stated before, I seriously doubt that Cortland would play a young man who didn't have his situation straightened out by the NCAA.  You don't know all the facts surrounding his situation at  Bonaventure and until you actually know your facts then I think you should knock off being such a wise guy.  You talk about my comments, you truly are being a hypocrite.  Quite a compliment though to the Basnight kid if he's that threatening to whoever you support in the conference.

I agree with you for once Spree, Ithaca is gonna be awesome!  Cortland is terrible this year because they lost the guys you mentioned and will probably come in like third place next year in the SUNYAC's because they will lose so much next year and they have a very difficult time getting talented players year in and year out.  With Ithaca's dominance over the past decade, they are a sure bet to go the the World Series and compete for a national championship.  I don't know if I have ever seen such a loaded team on paper such as Ithaca's roster for this year.  Give them the crown right now!  Go Bombers!

Two very good teams on the field... but Cycle hit the nail on the head when he commented about Ithaca that he doesn't "know if he has ever seen such a loaded team on paper such as Ithaca's roster for this year."  There are other good teams around too... that can play the game.   And I will predict that someone we have not spoken about on this board will be a surprise too.

Everyone puts there pants on one leg at a time... and you have to play the games on the field.  As I used to say to the teams I coached before each game, "Respect all... and fear none!!!"

Once the balls start to fly, anything can happen...

Bob......

I know we are talking about college baseball, but my sons high school team last year was ranked first for about half of the season.  They were picked to win state by the Chicago newspapers and by a few more pundits.  They have played as a unit for most of their high school careers.  In the Elite 8 of state, they lost 2-1 with both teams having five hits apiece.  No errors either way.  The other teams hits were more timely!!!!  That's baseball!!!!!!!!!!  Either way, the Cortland and Ithaca teams must be great to watch.

I love the fact that even though my sons school is not ranked to highly this year in the Liberty League, they will get to play against those two "power-houses."  I just hope that Cortland and Ithaca play their better players during those games.

Brockport split on the weekend... tough 10-8 loss to Rutger's Camden and 9-0 over Vassar.  High of 35 with 10-15 mile an hour winds through out the day...  As John says, welcome to college baseball in the NE.

It was great being at the field, watching baseball!!!  EVEN if it was cold...

Timely hits and a BUD (Bad Umpire Decision... LOL) and the 10-8 would have been different.  That is why we play...   Just kidding about the BUD, its part of the game, and having a little fun with it!

Next week we all start and it will be warm out!!!

Beautiful weather out there today...whats the over/under on the amount of games teams will be able to play.

I say 22.  2 or 3 before the spring trip.  8+ during the spring trip.  2-3 more out of town after the spring trip.  Puts us right around 14-15 games.  Its gonna be tough getting in all these NY Region games before conference tournaments and Regionals.

Sure doesnt help with temperatures in single digits and continuous snow.  Good luck!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on March 05, 2007, 05:57:08 PM
Basically, that's how its always been.

Teams are learning to schedule around it. Most teams that play games before their traditional spring trips are starting to play them in the mid-atlantic region of the country. The weather there isn't wonderful but its better than upstate New York. Ithaca, for example, doesn't play any games until their California trip over Spring Break. Same with a couple other teams.

In the past, teams have gotten the games in that they've had to before conference tournaments. It just ends up as lots of games in a little amount of time in late April and early May. Mostly, the late March, early April games are the ones that end up being moved around.

But, with all the warm weather New York has had over the winter, I'm optimistic it won't be as bad this year. But, tell that to Cortland, whose home opener is March 21 against Utica.

Well, I know that most of you follow the top teams on these boards, but I just thought I would let you know that Saturday, March 10th, the Univ. of Rochester (from here-on-out referred to as UR) played Fairleigh Dickinson in a 9 inning contest at the Disney World Sports Complex, only to come up short in a 7-6 loss.

UR scored in the top of the first with a lead-off BB, then a SB, followed by a SAB, then a 4-3 groundout.  Unfortunately, FD scored a run in the bottom of the inning as a result of an infield throwing error.  Score 1-1 after one.

In the bottom of the fourth, FD scored 5 runs on 2-2B's, 2-1B's, BB, and an error.  UR fought back with 3 runs in the 6th, and 2 in the 7th.  FD scored the winning run in the 8th.  Ultimately, UR had 4 hits and 2 errors, and FD had 10 hits and 2 errors.

Both teams had some good pitching, and not so good pitching.  Untimely errors, and not-so timely hitting could have had a different result for UR.

Errors need to go away!!!!  They cost 2 runs, and a victory!!!!

Glad to be back... looks like I missed a lot while in Phoenix... mostly snow and cold!!!

7 days of sunny, 88-90 degrees and a lot of baseball... I don't know how the teams in the west and south can get through a season having to deal with all that sunshine and warm weather.  LOL

Saw some good games... you've all given the scores.  So I won't.

Looks like the SUNYAC is going to be a four team race again... Cortland has some good wins, Rowan and Carthage are both good teams.  Brockport beat Alvernia two games, split with Keene and had a stinker with Montclair...  Oneonta and Plattsburgh are off to strong starts against cupcake schedules, but they are winning by good margins so they are dominant against them.

no matter what happens now, the big games will be the SUNYAC ones... the tune ups are fun, but meaningless unless you lose to weak teams.  I don't see any of the top four doing that yet...  conference games will come down to itching and defense... and wh ohas the most of each.

by the way, nice to be back in the 28 degrees and snow fall... NOT!!!

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 17, 2007, 10:24:50 AM
About the Cortland win over Bowdoin... yes they were their conference champion last year, but the conference can't be mistaken for the NJAC or even the SUNAYC... and they were 2 and gone.  However, you have to give them their due as they did win the conference...

Cortland does not duck anyone... so this isn't a shot at them, but the pitching they hit the 6 dingers off of may have been suspect.... BUT you still have to hit the ball, as they don't just happen.

This time of year, many of the games that turn out like this score are either because of complete mismatches or if it happnes between two good teams it is the way a pitching match up works out because of 8-10 games in a 7 day period.

And becuase of that, you can't put much weight in the one sided games.  If you do, you get twisted around trying to figure it out. 

As evidence, I give the following three scores of games played within a 4 day period;  on 3/11 - Brockport 13 Alvernia 4; on 3/12 -M ontclair 17 Brockport 4; and on 3/14 - Alvernia 13 Montclair 3.  Is any one of these three teams a "cupcake"... it just happens some times...  You finish it, put it behind you and play the next day.

Moral is, don't put to much weight on one game... look at the enitre body of work.

It should also be noted that Bowdoin lost it's top 3 or 4 pitchers from last year....they are definitely in rebuilding mode. My guess is they'll be a middle of the pack NESCAC team this year.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 17, 2007, 01:31:44 PM
Scuba,

I understand your getting angry at the tone of Dr. Baseball's post, especially if your a Corland fan.  Just take the comments in the (obviously) sarcastic manner that they are stated.  And not attack someone personally.

I don't want to bring this up on here again, as I've said that we just need to trust that it has been dealt with (or is being delat with) at higher levels... but you make a statement that makes it sound as if you have first hand knowledge of the situation... if you do, please share details of any waiver request that may have been submitted with us and so we can all put this to rest once and for all.    Or did  you just make the statement without any firsthand knowledge?  As a shot at Dr. Baseball.   

I don't think anyone on here is a Cortland hater... just people who respect what they've done in years past and want to beat them.  And I do think everyone is entitled to their opinion, and as long as he/she doesn't go overboard with outragous unsubstantiable comments.  I for one welcome the differing views and look forward to the challenge and competition of the season.

Also, while you don't state it in your post (it is inferred that Cortland) "wrecked" the SUNYAC last year...  the evidence is hardly that.  They were tied for the regular season title and won it on a tie breaker.  They won the tournament, but had to go to the last possible game to do so...  and they lost a game to Oswego.  6 of the 8 games with Oneonta and Brockport last year (with two exceptions, one loss and one win) were decided by 3 runs or less.  So there are teams in the SUNYAC who can complete at the same level.

Yes Cortland won the championship... but there is quality competition within the conference.  It hurts the conference to even infer that there isn't... as a group, the SUNYAC needs to get to the point where we can compete together to get two teams into the tournament.  Making sweeping disparaging comments like you make is not the way to get to that point.

Respect all.... fear none....


I look forward to an exciting 2007 season...

Bob,
Well as far as 1st hand knowledge of the basnight situation goes, I know as much as everyone else, maybe a little more! But it is pretty cut and dry, to recieve a waiver, paperwork must have been submitted to the ncaa and they obviously granted a 5th year for the kid. No favoritism because the kid plays at cortland, the ncaa doesn't care. It bothers me that people would come on here and take pot shots at a kid because the ncaa granted a 5th year of eligibility! Dr baseball called the kid "father time" and made fun of his BA thus far this year. Absolutely ridiculous!
By the way, it is true there are other decent programs in the sunyac, brockport, oswego and oneonta seem to put out good teams year to year but look at the sunyac champions from 1992 to present and u will see cortland has won the sunyac 13 out of the past 15 years!
That is pretty much dominance any way u slice it. As far as your point about winning and margin of victory, what does it really matter? A win is a win and a loss is a loss regardless of how much u won or lost by. I would rather be Cortland over who ever came close to beating them last year but lost on the final day!
MY OPINION is that Cortland is the class of the sunyac and thats my opinion. It is a substantiated opinion based on Cortland's in conference winning % over the past 15-16 years along with the # of sunyac championships they have won. On the national scene, Cortland is one of the best D-3 programs in the country based on the succes they have had in the regionals and the WS! Hopefully soon they can get over the WS hump and hang a National Championship banner, They have been very close!
Your responses are informative and respected but last time i checked, unless you spoke to Dr. Baseball you have no idea whether he was being sarcastic or not. I will post well thought out opinions and respect mine just as i will respect yours!

Scuba.

I understand about what it takes to apply for a waiver, and it is hard to get one no matter what the situation... but you once again, dropped in some inuendo about maybe knowing a little more about the situation then your telling.  That is what keeps it alive on here, the inuendo and sarcastic replies to that.  As far as I'm concerned its dead... you play who is on the roster and move forward.

I think it is pretty clear from the first two lines about Plattsburgh and Medaille that Dr. BAseball was being sarcastic in the last paragraph.  I read it as the same thing with the later comments...  Reading it again, I do agree that maybe it was not the best decision to mention the BA, as that gets to be personal.. I missed that.  But remember, its not what you hit in March that matters, its what you do in the tournament that counts. And Jim has done well the last few years...

I think the comments that you both make about the number of HR's and the quality of pitching are just harmless banter that is in fun.  I can tell by posts from both of you that you know baseball and like to verbally joust a little.

And your correct about the quality of Cortland in the SUNYAC and the longevity of that quality does equate to being the dominant team in the conference.  But that doesn't equate to "wrecking" the competition... they've won consistently over the years.  But if you look through the years, there is always a team or two that can compete with them.  My opinin is that is becasue they play a very competative non-conference schedule that instills confidence in the players when it comes to crunch time.  They've been there and done that.

Brockport has done that same type of scheduling for the last several years, and hopefully it will transfer into being mentally tougher and stronger when the crunch time comes in conference play.  It would serve the conference better if a few other teams would do the same thing and upgrade the level of their non-conference schedules.  Rather then hang their hats on a 30 win season against weaker teams... show that they deserve a bid against a nationally reputable schedule.  That would not only help them but the other conference teams as well...

It would be interesting to see what if the conference would get a second bid to the tournament if more of the teams played a strong out of conference schedule.  It can't hurt, as both Oneonta and Plattsburgh have not received anything despite having great records the last couple of years.

I am very aware of the records in the conference and I agree with your opinion that Cortland is the dominant team in the conference and they have earned any national recognition that they get.  It was very evident in 2004 when they lost the SUNYAC automatic bid to Brockport... as they received an at large bid.  It would be nice for all in the conference if we could get a second bid every year... I though it might happen last year, until the rain played havoc with the Liberty League playoffs...

As always, it is interesting to hear others thoughts and opinions...

Bob,
Interesting to to hear your opinion on ncaa bids. Do you think that the sunyac should get 2 automatic bids? Based on the # of teams playing in the sunyac conference it might not be a bad idea. Question is who loses a bid in order for sunyac getting a 2nd? The problem with that is u may have to beat a team u already beat to get to the ncaa's! Some may say that if you get beat in your conference tourney, you shouldn't get a shot at the ncaa's unless you play a very tough out of conference schedule, against national programs ala cortland in 2004 when they lost to brockport and still got a bid and deservingly so! Maybe a solution could be that the NY region should look into making a permanent 6 team, all ny region regional instead of bringing in E Conn like last year or njac teams like in the past to get to 6 and leaving out oneonta or brockport etc! I am opposed to bringing outside teams in because it is kind of ridiculous for a conneticut team to represent the ny region in the WS like last year. NY has its own region for a reason, there are a ton of d-3 baseball teams playing baseball in ny and 1 should represent the ny region every year in the WS. E Conn shouldn't of been here last year!
As far as there being  teams over the years that competed with cortland, no doubt the truth. When I played at cortland, oswego was very good 1 yr  (senior heavy)but hit or miss the next. Same thing could be said for oneonta. New Paltz was always bad, Brockport was OK and Bingamton occasionally fielded a competitive team but we always put the best team on the field and won.  The same thing can be said for the cortland teams for the past 15-16 years, most of them won and for good reason, very good coaching, very good players, clutch play at the right time  and refusing to lose. I know the other teams in the sunyac desperately want to take that from cortland and it makes for some good in-conference rivalries. Should be an interesting year, but I can't see cortland losing more than 1 game in conference, if that. There just isn't a dominating enough pitcher (like salimida) on any of the sunyac teams to shut down the red dragons offensively this year not to mention the quality depth of pitching that cortland will roll at u! I could be wrong but..

Come up and visit.  -17 today and our snow that fell in October is still out there. 

The New York region is really dominated by just a few teams, it would make sense  for any team to upgrade the schedule and play better teams and start to get themselves a second bid.  Those Pool C bids are the toughest ticket in town.

Cortland does not duck anyone... so this isn't a shot at them, but the pitching they hit the 6 dingers off of may have been suspect....

bob,
if i read this post correctly, u are saying that bowdoin's pitching may have been suspect! If that is the case, then i guess brockport must have suspect pitching as well after they got it handed to them by montclair, or is it just brockport had and off day at the park! u can't have it both ways so u might as well just give credit where credit is due. on a side note, 3 hrs came from 2 guys that are 6'7 250, maycock and devito! they may combine for a ton of hrs this year!

Chairman,

The benedict Arnold thing is very good...  I've been gone a few days so this is a little bit late...  I don't think that even you are a Cortland hater.  Just a fan for a rival team... that doesn't like to see them be successful.  You still have to respect what they've done.  

I can't do it, but you can... if you want to lable yourself a Cortland hater that is Ok with me.  

LOL

Scuba,

I believe Bostonian supported what I said about the pitching possibly being suspect when he reported that Bowdoin lost 3 of their top pitchers... so they don't have experience.  I don't konw... just going on what Bostonian said.

Also, your right Montclair did beat up on Brockport pitching in that one game... but they had 18 singles with only 3 extra base hits.  Giving up 6 home runs tells me the pitching was completely overmatched.  Brockport has solid pitching with experience... and Montclair is a good team that hit some of the boys on this particular day.  It happens... but 6 homers is anohter thing.  

They shut out Alvernia on one hit... that doesn't mean they will win the national title?  NO, its one game in a season of over 40 of them...

No one is asking for anything both ways.... I am a Brockport fan... that doesn't mean that if I question something that I am blind to what happens with the Eagles.  In fact, I brought up how often times lop-sided scores happen and showed an example of such where Brockport lost to Montclair, who lost to Alvernia who lost to Brockport... all by scores of more the 10 runs.


Next game is vs Marietta on Saturday if it doesn't rain...
;D

yeah you are probably right.  It is much harder to get fired up about Cortland baseball than it is about football.  I'll respect what they have done when Coach Brown finally does what his Mentor has done...win the big one.

just making the point that sometimes 1 game isn't an indication of how good/bad a team was! bowdoin was up 4-0 in that game before cortland exploded, so that tells me that they can play a bit! bostonian could be wrong cause i hear that bowdoin was rolling guys out that could throw it and cortland just kept hitting it! sun shines every once in a while!

We've both said it... sometimes things just happen.  I didn't see the box score and was commenting on the 6 dingers in one game.  Maybe that is what happened in this case.  Even if Bostonian is right, there could be new guys who can play.

It will be an interesting season... can't wait to watch it unfold.

Not to drag the Football debate from the E8 room over here but it does have an effect on Cortland.  The new league means they are limited to just one OOC game and that game is spoken for.  This move basically eliminates all schedule flexibility for the Dragons.

I am not a football expert, and this is the baseball board... and it is the start of baseball season.  

But a thought on the 9 team NJAC football conference.  Perhaps they will only play 6 or 7 conference games and give each team a chance for 2-3 OOC games to continue traditional rivalries (i.e. Cortland-Ithaca).

Some other conferences do that where they don't play everyone each year and rotate it around annually to let teams play non-conference games.  And for many conferences and schools it is important to play some strong non-conference games to gain recognition...

OK, back to baseball....  a lot of rain today!   :(

Center fielder Rob Sumner of New Jersey City University and righthander
Jake Dennstedt of the State University of New York-Brockport have been
named the NCAA Division III National Hitter of the Week and Pitcher of
the Week for March 12-18, 2007, as chosen by representatives of the
National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Dennstedt, a senior from Churchville, N.Y., went 2-0 with a 0.00 earned
run average on the week.  He started two games and pitched 13 scoreless
innings, including a complete-game shutout in a win over Kean.  He
pitched six innings in a 6-1 win over Dickinson, allowing only one
unearned run.  In his two appearances, he struck out five and walked
three.  Dennstedt was named Pitcher of the Week in the SUNY Athletic
Conference.

Huh? Flexibility in scheduling? Anyone following Cortland football over the years has to get a chuckle from that. What the NJAC has done (and why the Corts are there) is for a schedule. Red Dragons couldn't get one in NY. Played nine game chart for several seasons because teams wouldn't play them. Anyone aboard football board for any length of time knows my views on this subject. Ugh!!!! Most privates won't play the publics. NYS has been ready-made for a super conference for years. Never happened. Won't happen. Cortaca Jug remains.  Then Cortland has nine game NJAC schedule. By gosh, that's 10 games!!!!!

Now back to the diamond. Oh, wait, we're in a bit of a weather delay, methinks

Cortland wins again. Kind of figures that the year I'm not covering them is the year they get off to a hot start.

Brockport's DH with Mount Union today was cancelled. Scheduling mix-up I guess since Mount is playing John Carroll today in a conference game.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 25, 2007, 08:17:54 PM
John,

What happened with the Brockport - Mount Union double header is that MU's conference game with John Carrl on Saturday was rained out.  And apparently they have a conference rule that says you have to make up any rained out games on the next open (non-conferenc) weekend date available.  Which happened to be the day they had a Dh schedeuled with an out of state team.

Seems to be a little short sighted to me... As I don't think that they (or any one in their conference for that matter) will get many games scheduled in the future with teams from outside of their immediate area with that arrangement.  A team travels into the area and you pull the plug on the games?
Title: Re: SUNYAC

Quote from: scuba16 on March 25, 2007, 08:27:20 PM
Could Cortland run the regular season table? Seems as though some of the toughest teams that they will face, regular season, are behind them! Also, with the rankings coming out tommorow, where does everybody see the NY teams being ranked in the national picture?

yes we could run the table but i dont see it happening, possible loss to brockport and oneonta always plays us tough.........caught plattsburghs second win over purchase......purchase is a decent HS team

c-state19,
i agree that brockport and oneonta play us very tough but this team is pretty deep all over. u can forget anybody beating us because of  4 games in 2 days(weekend doubleheaders), we are going to roll out 4 starting pitchers better than anybody else even has. dougher, jweid, zorgeleswki, rockfeld along with a very strong bullpen makes this team real tough pitching wise! the lineup is just as strong and we are getting contributions from all over the place. if u look at the box scores from the first 13 games, there has to be at least 12 different kids that have multiple hit games! also if you look at the boxscores u relize that this isn't just a team that has 8 good position players, we have like 14. all i'm saying is that this team is as deep a team that has ever laced 'em up at cortland and that is saying alot! good luck beating this team in any double elimination tournament  before the world series!

Just punched it up and among headlines: Cortland State Remains Unbeaten .......and the lead, "In their fourth game against a top 30 team, Cortland ....improved to 12-0 with a 5-1 victory over 10th ranked Montclair St." And nearby remains the coaches' preseason spring poll.

jdex,

It was in correct in the original article.  It has since been changed to be accurate... just a little typo.

Cstate,

That is why we play the games... so we have this type of thing to talk about.  I for one look forward to the challenge of competing against a strong team or program...  I am sure that every player on every team has that same feeling and will to compete.  Other wise they would not be on the field.

Remember, it is harder to go out day after day with very little chance of winning against an opponent then it is to be on the top teams who always have a chance to win.  I respect the kids on those types of teams probably more then I do the ones on the top teams.  They put them selves on the line dily just becuase they love the game.

When we post... we need to remember to respect them too.  As they don't fear an opponent... they relish the experience of competing.

OK, I will get down from my old coaching soap box.
;D

Post by: scuba16 on March 27, 2007, 11:38:57 AM
bob,
Kinda agree, much harder to go out there and play when ther is less chance to win. I guess anybody that is a competitor relishes in the chance to play, compete against a team that is considered to be better, thats the competitive nature of people. But u also have people that shy away from that type of situation. obviously the teams that are competitive vs better teams have players that are very competitive and won't back down. if u have a pitcher like that anything is possible!
I disagree about the kids on lesser teams loving the game anymore than the kids on the top teams for the simple fact that this is the end of the road for 99% of the kids playing. Not many kids play on after college baseball. I consider any kid who makes a college team to be a pretty good player. I know the kids hs i coach hear me time and time again say, if you can play college baseball, start on a college team, ur a pretty darn good player!
I think in addition to respecting the kids that play on lesser teams we need to also respect the kids on the top teams just as much. Remember the kids or the top programs didn't get to the top of the heap by being lazy. They worked hard for it, cortland, ithaca, rpi have put in some time becoming the elite d-3 programs in ny and are not going to give it up without a fight.
I think cortland has the best team, im not hiding that fact.  Offense, defense, pitching and intangables like a stud catcher who nobody is going to run on, experienced coaching, winning program and some team depth give cortland a hand up on other teams. I think they will ultimately win in a double elimination style tournaments, like the sunyac and the ny regional because of the before-mentioned points.
You don't have to fear and opponent to get beat by one, the better team usually wins in the end!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 27, 2007, 04:57:52 PM
Scuba...

We do see eye to eye on this...

One thing though, I didn't say that kids on lesser teams love the game more then the ones on top teams.  You can take from what I said that I do respect all the boys who play college baseball at any level...  What I said is that "I respect the kids on those types of teams probably more then I do the ones on the top teams".

The point being that at some point in the season you have to really admire them for getting back up and going out to compete again, after losing time after time. 

We have all been at both ends of a game where one team gets drubbed... it is hard to deal with.  Just like losing is...  When you see the boys on a team run onto the field and play hard despite being down 10 or more runs... you have to admire them.

Your right, you don't have to fear an opponent to be beaten by them... but if you do fear them, you will never beat them!



I think Cortland has a good team... but don't think they will run the table.  Someone will beat them along the way.  And as for winning a double elimination tournament.  It may happen, but I think there is a lot of baseball to be played and I am sure we will see many surprises before its over.

right bob,
but what are u supposed to do when u are down 10?? not hustle on the field?? i just think that there is a way to play sports at all times, hard. up 10 or down 10 it should be the same! i agree with your point, it is hard to keep getting it handed to you and keep coming back. the teams that do that should be commended but competing is more fun than winning or losing! when those kids get older, they are going to realize that it wasn't the wins or losses that they will miss, it is the laying it on the line, competition that they will miss!
Cortland may run the table, they may not. I know 1 thing though, Win or lose they will hustle, play hard to the end and shake hands either way, the way it should be!

Cortland third in latest poll, Bport 22nd. They tangle in Saturday twinbill at the Port. Corts host Fredonia Sunday

Brown's not putting too much into 14-0 ignition. "It's how you  play that matters. You could go 32-0 and lose your last game, and that's no fun. It's all in the process .... if we go 20-20 and still make it to the World Series. I'll take it."

Rankings are suspect at best, a bunch of people that haven't seen everybody play trying to determine the best teams! Guys trying to describe the whole having only seen small parts. Unless u have seen everybody in the country play(nobody has), very hard to determine! U will know who the best 8 teams are come late may/ early june. Cortland may deserve the #1 ranking but doesn't matter any how. You got to win the games that count down the stretch, this isn't a sprint it is a marathon.

Poll-picking just so very subjective at III level, no doubt about it. Unless early spring meetings in the south, or World Series, inter-regional play indeed rare. Still, polls pose good debates.
Just released poll has Otterbein, Oh. falling from 1 to 27, new 1 Wooster, Oh. advancing from 15. Wooster and Cortland each with three No. 1 votes, second ranked Chapman, Ca. with two
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 31, 2007, 07:02:05 AM
What is in this poll is more accurate then what was in the preseason poll... anyone who was in the discussion about the preseason poll knows that it was all on paper speculation.  At least this one has some on the field games to reference it too.  Also, I think that the people who do any poll should be commended as they do their best... and while they haven't seen everyone, they have talked with people who have seen other teams and weighed a lot of information.

Polls are always a little suspect at any level for that reason... but they are a guideline.  Jdex said it in one of his posts.  Its where you are at the end of the season, not now...  something like taking it being 20-20 and getting the the series for a chance to compete to win it all.

Coference play starts today, so it will be fun and interesting to watch... but remember, its a long season....

hope we can play all weekend... but it looks like rain on Sunday...

Thanks for the update, and conratulations to Rob.

Not being from your area as you know, I still find it interesting that the old cliche, "any given team on any day, can beat any other team."

Not taking anything away from the Cortland team, I just find it amusing that with all sorts of hype, you never know what is going to happen until the players finish the game(s).  I'm sure that tomorrow, or the next day, or next week the results can be different.  It must have been really good baseball being played by two of the nations top teams.

Best of luck tomorrow, and to the Cortland team as well.  Don't you just love rivalries????

Cortland's going to have to run the table and hope Brockport stumbles against Plattsburgh and Oneonta.

Certainly not a death blow for Cortland to be swept today. Nothing wrong with going on the road in the conference tournament. If anything, they weren't going to go undefeated overall and in the conference as well. Remember, last year Cortland needed help to host the conference tournament.

For Cortland's sake from Batman Begins...

Two good wins for Brockport... and two tough losses for Cortland.

But it is nothing to get to elated over or to low about either... it is early in the season and there is a lot of baseball to be played still.  Both of these teams are most likely going to be in the SUNYAC tournament so this is just a beginning.

What it does do, is it does make for a different outlook on the conference season... but there are still games to be played and won.  You still have to focus and play each game as it comes, or what you did yesterday doesn't mean anything...


Hope the rain holds off tomorrow!

Brockport 4 Cortland 2
Brockport 9 Cortland 2

Plattsburgh 6 New Paltz 5 (10)...Plattsburgh came back from deficits of 2-0 and 5-4 to score an unearned run on a wild pitch in the tenth. NP committed four errors. Pre-season watch list pitcher Kevin Gent gave up five runs on five hits in seven innings and walked six with no strikeouts.
New Paltz 1 Plattsburgh 0...Jim Donahue for NP tossed a complete-game one-hitter to provide for the split. John DeKams drove in the Hawks only run in the sixth inning. Matt Dahlin allowed five hits over 5.1 innings after tossing three innings in the opener. Coach Doorey must be using the Japanese method for handling pitchers in letting Dahlin pitch twice.

Fredonia 8 Oswego 4
Fredonia 5 Oswego 4...No details available. Oswego doesn't even have 2007 statistics posted yet. Perioli is listed on the roster, no clue if he's playing.

Oneonta 18 SUNYIT 7

John,

Peroli played left field today... that is if the roster that was printed matched the unifrom numbers.  There was no PA at the game today.  Probably they didn't want to risk getting it wet.  IT RAINED from the time they started thought out the entire 6.1 innings that were played.

It drizzled for a short time... but really started to come down in the third.  It should have been halted when the Oswego 3B slipped and did a slide on the grass in the top of the 5th...  the grass was really wet and the balls were hard to control... by both the pitchers and the infielders. 

Its 2-2 in the bottom of the sixth, scheduled to resume Monday at 3:00... but forecast is for more rain.  And the field is saturated so I am not confident they will play.


Looks like some other games were played today... and some interesting results.

Spree, you have no idea what you're talking about.  Go take a look at Cortland's fielding percentage.  I believe its .966 which is very respectable.  Saying that their defense has been terrible for sometime is an ignorant statement but I wouldn't expect anything less from you.  Anyone who knows the game of baseball would probably agree that solid pitching and defense is what makes for success.  "Pretty terrible defense over the years" doesn't equate with the success that their program has had for some time now.  Also, who says that national powers play flawless defense the whole season?  For example, Marietta won the national championship fielding .962 so your comment is an uninformed, non-objective, and moronic opinion.  By the way, you gave yourself away as being a moron when you said that Brockport has one of the best infields in the NY region.  Keep the laughs coming dude!

brockport's infield is one of the best in new york. best in sunyac for sure.  every since they redid that field it has been one of the  best playing surfaces in new york state.  there is now ay an logical person can argue this!  I hope you misunderstood him thinking he was saying the players are the best in ny not the playing surface.

i didnt say the field complex was good...but the playing surface is prob top 3 in the NY and is arguably the best.  tell me who's is better?

I dont care what cortlands defensive stats are...go back through a lot of big games they have lost and tell me what does them in and its errors.  They have the pitching and the defense, but when they lose big games its because of errors.  I didnt say they were terrible in all of there games...and yes i know it came off that way but i didnt mean that.  I meant when they lose, its because of poor defense.

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spence on April 02, 2007, 12:17:14 AM
.966 is really good but defense isn't *that* easily measured. I struggle with how to do it, myself. Because you can field a great percentage but if you have phone-booth range it maybe isn't as good as someone who makes more errors but gets to a lot more balls.

And then of course there's the interpretation of the official scorers that can skew such numbers, which is part of why I prefer not to put too much stock in things that can be skewed by it, like ERA and batting average.

Not saying Cortland doesn't have a good defense, not saying it does. Just saying one number it's enough to really say. I will say this though, assuming a team has average or better range defensively, .966 is an average I'd take every time.

I'd be surprised if Marietta's .962 wasn't a lot better than that during the end of the year... they only committed more than 1 error in a game 3 times after April 25. They committed 12 errors in the season-opening 3-game debacle in Salisbury, Md., feature gale force winds and near freezing temps. One player committed 5 errors in 3 games and was later replaced in the lineup.

Being the smart coach he is, Brewer scheduled 3 in Georgia this year lol.

My point I guess is that .962 by the end of the year was very misleading and I consider Marietta's defense pivotal to its championship and by the end of the year one of the best the program's had in a long time.

In my defense....look for example in the 2nd Brockport game from Saturday.  5 Cortland errors.

In my opinion every SUNYAC game is a big game (yes even vs New Paltz, Fredonia, IT).

Going through their "biggest" games last year in the region (SUNYAC Conference Schedule, vs Ithaca, SUNYAC Tourny, and Regionals) Cortlands defense was pretty bad.

SUNYAC Regular season schedule: 22 errors in 14 games.

vs Ithaca: 5 errors in 2 games

SUNYAC Tournament: 12 errors in 5 games (including 6 in the Final Round)

Regionals: 6 errors in 4 games (including 5 in the Final Round which led to their demise)

All I'm trying to say is Cortland's D better come up big in their biggest games or its going to cost them.

Freeman Field is nice...the surroundings are great and its a great complex.  However, the infield is horrendous.  Huge lips all across the infield.

When I'm comparing fields, I'm not talking about the whole package.  I'm talking about just the infield.  Brockports infield surface is 10x better than Ithaca's.

Cycle, Bport & Spree,

Lets try to keep the comments on a rational level... and not get personal with them.  As that type of comment is not the way to post on here.  

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and should express it on here.  But please don't go the route of making atttacks on a person or program.  If you want to make a statement of opinion, state that its your opinion, but then qualify what you say with something of substance.

The comment on Brockports "complex" being a glorified HS one is something that is hard to make or defend without some more information (and frankly doesn't matter).  As with out some more information it is just someone venting.

There are HS complex's all over the country that would put ANY field D-III field in NYS to shame.  As in some areas the HS have better facilities then many colleges.  BUT as I said, that really doesn't matter.

Also, I am reading beteen the lines here, that the comment about HS complex's is talking about the stadium feel of a complex and not the playing surface.  The surface at Brockport is top quality... and does compare very favorably with any that I've seen in NYS.  The "complex" is not a stadium fell like the just now referenced "Freeman Field" at Ithaca... but it suites the purpose of keeping the game on the field and providing good seating and sight lines for spectators.  The pressbox is very nice and provides the required services to give game information.  And while the parking is not paved, it is far more convenient to the field then in some of the other "complex's" that I would guess others would rate above Brockports.  Those are all factors that need to be considered.

AND the playing surfaces are very comparable...

Having elevated seating does not make the field better.

Lets stay objective and not act as five year olds and aruge over who has the shinest toys.

Chairman, I have always liked watching games at Freeman field... great views and the seating does give a nice view of the game.  BUt I have no idea what type of surface the playing field is... but can say as a spectator that it is nice to watch a game there.

Based on this last discussion, what would you think about opening a new thread in the New York message board to give an analysis of the different baseball comlex's and playing surfaces in NY?

Stadium complex:
Access to field (ticketing possibilities)
parking (proximity to seating areas)
parking (ability to park without getting a ticket during a weekday game)
parking (number of spaces)
parking (quality of parking surface)
Seating areas (type and quality fo seats)
seating (number of seats)
seating (quality of sight lines to field)
seating (proximity to the action)
Gerneral (views of campus or surroundings):
restrooms (distance from seating)
restrooms (quality of facilities
concessions (distance from seating)
concessions (quality of menu and facility)
scorebaord
game information (PA system, programs available)
game information (quality of announcements)
Fencing types

Playing surface;
quality of infield grass (flat)
quality of infield grass (thickness)
quality of infield skin (type of material)
quality of infield skin (flat and smooth)
entire infield, how does it take water during games
entire infield, how does it drain
grass lines - are they manicured and flant
home plate area - material
home plate area - is it flat or are their holes
home plate area - how does it react when wet during games
outfield quality of grass
outfield surface, is it flat
outfield drainage
warning track areas - how wide
warning track areas - enitre field or only in some places
warning track areas - how doe sit take water
mound - how high
mound - what slope
mound - type of material
mound - how does it act when it takes water during a game
overall field flat
irrigation on it
quality of tarp
other

This is a quick list of things to consider... I am sure I missed some things.  I think this would be interesting to find out.  We most likely would need to send a survey to coaches asking for the information on the playing surfaces... but we as spectators and fans could assess the complex's.

I am not sure I have time to go through your entire list but I will put it out there that, when evaluated overall, there isn't a college facility in NYS that compares to Freeman Field.

Obviously the views beyond the field are incredible and the views of the field are great.  The big bleacher on the rock face down the first base line is a great place to watch a ballgame and get a little sun.  There is also a great tradition of people that sit above the field on the road that seperates Butterfield Stadium and Freeman Field.

I have never played on the field so I cannot contradict Spree's opinion that it has a lip but I have scored a lot of games there and do not remember a single false hop.  The infield plays really true and is always in outstanding condition (which is obviously a challenge given the nature of spring in NYS).

The only real downsides to the complex are the location of the bathrooms and the location of the clubhouses.  Both are located at Butterfield Stadium which is adjacent to the field.  The only improvement would be a clubhouse connected to each dugout and bathrooms in the stadium.  Otherwise, I think that Freeman Field is pretty hard to beat.

Cycle,

No, I am not the comment police... and I don't want to be the comment police.  I just think it is easier for all of us to support our opinions.

It is just that we all have valid points, that don't always come across the way we want to when posting on any sight.  As there isn't the give and take of face to face conversation.  In this mode of communication it is best to support what our opinions are with some of our thoughts on a subject.

Also, that is the second time you've made the "speak when spoken to" comment on here...  which actually supports my previous point of supporting your opinions.  This is an open public forum, and even if we do put a name on a post to direct that persons attention to it... it is still to everyone who uses this board.  the more support we can give to our opinions the better we are received, and constructive it is to what ever conversation is taking place.

So I was spoken too... as was everyone else.

Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 02, 2007, 09:58:30 AM
Chairman,

Thanks for the breakdown... I agree with what you've said about the facility.  It is a great place to watch a game.  And I like the idea that there is a "tradition" of the students doing something social around the event... that is a great part of college athletics.  Glad to see it is in place around baseball at Ithaca.  Would be nice if it was like that in more places.

I suspect that may be becasue the field is located near the dorms so that it is convenient for the students to be part of the event.

The point about not knowing the field is very good too... I suggested that we ask the coaches and some players to evalutate the playing surfaces.  We would have to have a hard document to do that with...

And that takes time that most of us don't have.  But it could be a long term project that I may look into undertaking in the future. 

Thanks for the Freeman Field review....

Keep fighting the good fight.  Don't let posters like that get to you.  We had a ton of them on the football board about two years ago but they have all gone quietly into that good night.  Turns out a person can only be snarky for so long before they actually have to come out and say something.

bport,

Your posting wasn't personal or attacking... it was just in the middle of the converstaion I was making a comment on.  Your right, the infield surface at Brockport is very good... and is maintained well.

Cycle,
this is the type of comment that is confusing to me.  You make a good point, and then you go and take something personal and fly off the handle about it.

This discussion is finished on this point, sorry I even tried to ask that we be constructive with supporting comments when giving our opinions.

Lakers' amazing nine-run rally gives team comeback win over Brockport

The Oswego State baseball team scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to stun Brockport 11-10 on Monday afternoon at Laker Field.

The Golden Eagles led 10-2, but Oswego State scored nine runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to get the victory. The Laker rally started with three singles and two walks, followed by a two-run single from Tom Grace. An RBI double by K.C. Reardon then scored Nick Marzullo.

The rally continued until Dan Pecora scored the game-tying run on a wild pitch, which led to Laker senior Tom Farrell being intentionally walked to load the bases with two outs. Nick Marzullo singled to right field and Nick Perioli scored the game-winning run from third to complete the big rally.

Oswego State's Justin Storie earned the win in relief and Matt Biviano took the loss for the Golden Eagles.

so much for beating cortland...Brockport pretty much just handed the conference back to the Red Dragons.  You cant go out and sweep Cortland only to be swept by Oswego.  I kind of knew Brockport was going to have a let down after Saturdays big wins.

Look for Cortland to run the table now, while I see Brockport potentially losing another game or so to Plattsburgh or Oneonta.

I guess we are gonna have to sit through the SUNYACs back at Wallace Field in May.

Yes, the complexsion of the conference "race" was turned upside down twice this weekend... 

The conversaton we all had in the winter months indicated that we expected a couple teams to be better... New Paltz and Fredonia were both mentioned.  They've proven us all to be pretty smart...  :)  As they are improved.

The Oswego team is a surprise... but they are in the mix now as is everyone.

I suspect that even Cortland may drop a game along the way... but they do look like they are again in the favorites seat.  As they took it out on Fredonia pretty good.

As scuba says, thats why we play the games... and even after the Brockport wins over Cortland on Saturday, it was still where you end up and what you do in May that counts... you just have to get there.

Don't get to high or low from a win or a loss, as you have to play tomorrow...

how about the last 4 days, cortland goes to brockport and drops 2. a huge let down for the c-staters after starting the yr 14-0. brockport beats cortland 2x,(Congratulations by the way) huge boost, only to turn around and lose 2x to oswego. makes u realize how much emotions can play into this game. cortland had to think they were going to wipe the floor with brockport and got beat. brockport probably thought they would whip oswego and dropped 2. i would think that this would be a point that coaches are driving home to their teams from here on out, don't get complacent, u have to play every game like its your last! i'm done with predictions, but whats interesting is that brockport now holds the tie breaker over cortland if both teams win out or end up with the same record at the end of conference play. i guess it doesn't matter where the sunyac is played as long as u win it and get that automatic bid! getting interesting especially because the weather is not supposed to be thet greatest for the next 2 weeks!

Looks like IC-Cortland is delayed 20 minutes because the umps aren't there yet.  That has to be a first.

Although I was a Spring Training game two weeks ago where the HP umpire took a foul ball to the hand and had to leave.  While the 1B umpire was putting on the equipment the 2B ump told the C to squat and proceeded to call balls and strikes from behind the pitcher to avoid delay.  Maybe these two teams could just start the game out on the honor system to keep things moving along.

maycock is having a huge power yr as of right now. when he gets it rolling, like right now he can rake from both sides of the plate. the kid is 6'7 255+, he has a decent swing. a little unorthodox but u can't teach size like he has and all it takes is a little connection and the ball jumps when he hits it. also can run, run the bases and play d pretty good for a big guy. didnt know brockport lost again today, sliding a tad bit after the cortland wins, not good for brockport!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spree on April 03, 2007, 10:05:25 PM
looks like Brockport is happy with their season after beating Cortland twice.  Must have packed up their bags and went home.

Hope they can turn it around, but with only 2-3 pitchers, i dont know how it can be done.  Pretty pathetic when you turn the ball over to upperclassmen with an 8 run lead against a very weak opponent only to let it slip away.  Those guys should have easily gotten 3 outs.  Now look at whats going on.  End up getting swept and then beat by RIT (who is more respectable than Oswego, but should not beat Brockport by any means).

Someone on that pitching staff needs to step up if they want to get anywhere.
Title: Re: SUNYAC

It has been an up and down week for Brockport...  but I am sure that they will right the ship and move forward.  They are too good not to have that happen.

you would think it would be that easy to just get three outs, but it happened... and things like that do happen more then we would imagine.  That is why we keep playing the games year after year... to try to get it perfect!


Don't get too high after a win, or too low after a loss... as there is another game tomorrow.

Was at the game and Freshman Matt Tone started for Cortland and was great through 5 innings.  Ithaca had some bad breaks in terms of fielding.  Things you just wouldn't expect to happen but do in this amazing game of baseball.

Maycock's grand slam was the highlight of the game!!

Thanks for the update... Maycock is having a great year.  I can only imagine that he is a scarey hitter to face.  And with Zaccardo in the lineup behind him, he gets pitched too.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Remember, I broadcast Cortland games for four years. So, by last year, I knew the team and the kids like the back of my hand.

The gentleman doing the games now is still learning the team. It's hard when you start broadcasting games for someone you don't really know. I'm not sure who is doing color.

I have not heard the new guys... so I can't comment on how thee are... but will say that John was very good!  And as you can see from his last post, he is humble as well.

John, you were there for four years, but it takes more then just knowing the stories to be good at this.  You went out of your way to be educated on all the teams, and while you were the Cortland broadcaster... you did do a great job of keeping it on the professional level and giving both sides their just dues.

Wish you were back in New York as you are missed... and I am sure we will hear you on a larger scene in a few years.

What a sad week for the SUNYAC... after the exciting start where EVERYONE had good and bad days, and it looks like a race all around.  The weather and no one plays for almost an entire week!

:-[

Hope the weatehr breaks and the rescheduled games can be played this week...

How did the one set of games go to 4/29?  I thought they had to be scheduled the earliest possible date.  Does any one have any information on the conference rescheduling guidelines?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 09, 2007, 10:55:14 AM
You schedule a game whenver you have an open date on the schedule.

Cortland and Oswego, for example, are going to play their "Saturday" doubleheader today.

Both had an open date.

Other teams may have an open date, but a game tomorrow or a good number of games later in the week. So, they shoot for sometime later in the month when the weather will be much nicer and the probability of a cancellation is much smaller.

Say you reschedule for Tuesday, it snows, you have to re-schedule again. Why bother when you can push it back later?

That's how it goes every year. Someone is always scrapping at the end to get all their conference games in. If it didn't happen, I'd be surprised.

A couple of small notes:

1) John McGraw is correct - the first "Z" in Zgorzelski is silent, so it's Gore-zell-ski.

2) Centenary is actually 14-7 now, not 13-6. They split a doubleheader Monday vs. Mt. St. Vincent, but the results weren't posted online immediately. As a personal note, I won't be surprised if Centenary wins the Skyline Conference again this year, based I what I saw yesterday. They hit the ball very well.

Saturday doesn't look to bad... if the fields are not swamped before then, games may be played.  Of course, I am speaking from a March wether stand point... not April as it will only be in the mid to low 40's.

Sunday looks bad everywhere... COLD and wet... doubt if anyone will play then, unless a location is just missed by the storm.

Hopefully the Saturday games will be played...so everyone isn't way behind and will need to change non-league games.

You're correct cstate, Plattsburgh canceled the entire weekend and move the games to 4/26 & 4/28.

Brockport at New paltz on Sunday has been moved to Wednesday 4/18. 

But Brockport at Oneonta will be played today... it will be in the mid 40's with 10 MPH winds.  HMMM...good weather for this spring!

It is really tough to be playing game after game after game in this cold, windy weather and on the wet fields.  Mentally draining on the players...

Surprise. While we wait out the weather, here's the SUNYAC standings.

Oneonta 3-1; Brockport 4-2; Cortland 4-2; New Paltz 2-2; Plattsburgh 2-2; Fredonia 2-4; Oswego 2-4; SUNYIT 1-3

Who'd have thought Oneonta would be in first place on a team that doesn't have Michael Schellinger and Chris Salamida?

Schellinger pitched for the Swing of the Quad Cities on Monday. He started and struck out six in three innings, but took the loss.

Salamida is pitching for the Salem Avalanche in the Carolina League, about 40 minutes from where I live. I'd drive up to see him, but that's too much effort.

Starting pitchers in game #1 were; Brockport - Dennstedt, Oneonta - Weber  both ended up with no decisions.

It really doesn't matter, as Brockport lost game #2... but I have a question as maybe I misunderstand something.  I don't see an earned run scored in the game... I know this will sound like sour grapes, as it was my son who was pitching...   I've been playing and involved in baseball for over 30 years, and can't figure out how one of the runs was earned.

first batter - on by a fielding error (should be out #1...)
second batter - on with a fielders choice, and the runner is safe at 2nd with a throwing error (should be out # 2...)
third batter - hits a double (scoring to unearned runs)
fourth batter - flys out to the outfield (should be out #3...)
fifth batter - flys out to the outfield (4th out?)
sixth batter - singles to right, to score the 3rd run.  since the innning should have been over, this too is an unearned run.

Did I miss something?  If any one can help me with this I would love to hear th explaination as to why one run is earned.  It doesn't matter, as the team lost the game... I am just curiuos as to how or why it was scored that way...



It looks like it is going to be a dog fight for the last playoff spot... maybe the last two.  But I think that three of them are pretty solid with Cortland, Oneonta and borckport.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 14, 2007, 11:04:47 PM
game #1 was actually a very well pitched game through 8 innings.  The ninth it blew up on both teams.   Brockport scored 6 runs after 2 outs in the top of the ninth... after 2 outs, Weber walked two batters and was taken out.  Patcick Connors came in for him and gave up a run scoring single... and on the first pitch to the next batter, something happened to his arm as he collapsed on the mound.

I have no idea what happened, and hope that it was just a pain and he is OK... but it looked like it could be more serious then that.  You hate to see anyone get hurt... especially with the violent pitching motion. If any one from Oneonta can give us an update when they know something it is appreciated.

After Connors left, Don Lawrence came in and was the one who was roughed up to finish the 9th and in the 12th too.

Dennstedt threw 8 very strong innings, and had some difficulty in the 9th... he have up three singles, all of them not hit hard, they just dropped in... but they count, don't they.  He walked one and hit a batter before being relived. 

Brondon Galutz hit a 1-2 pitch out to tie the game off the reliever.  All but one run was charged to Dennstedt.  Casey Scott settled down and threw 3.2 innings of no-hit relief after the Galtuz HR.

It was a really interesting game.  12 innings total... 10 and 1/2 of them were very well pitched, the 9th just got out of control for both sides... and Brockport hit Lawrence hard in the 12th.

No wonder we keep coming back to play again... what a game, this baseball is!

All three runs should be unearned as far as I can tell. Though, its a little confusing because the second batter reached on a fielders choice. In the scorer's mind, maybe he thought the runner would have been safe at first had the fielder not thrown to second base. But, since the fielder went to second base first, it's automatically a fielders choice, no way its an infield hit.

The third batter doubles, which would send said runner over to third. Fourth batter flies out, possibly could be deduced as what would what have been a sac fly. Then another fly out ends the inning.

Bob, I still think you're right, but that's one way it could have played out. I don't have my rulebook right with me so I can't look it up. But, the second error would have been a groundout if the first hitter had reached. Could just be a scoring mistake too, those things happen.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 15, 2007, 01:28:29 PM
John,

That is what I thought...

I am someone who scores and reads box scores all the time.  The same play happened in game #1... third inning with Brockport up.  Only 2 differences were: 1) in game #1 it was the shortstop fielded the ball in one instance and in game #2 it was the thirdbaseman; 2) the runner going to 2B in the igame #1 play was safe at 2B, but did not advance to 3B because the second baseman knocked the wild throw down so the runner stayed on second base on the throwing error (instead of being out), while in game #2, the runner advanced to third on the throwing error because the throw went into RF.

In both cases, the runners going to second are out if the throw is accurate and caught...  In both cases the batters who hit the ball and made it safely to first on the fielders choise and eventually scored... In the instance I outlined the run he scored was earned; In the first game, the run the batter scored was unearned.

Same play, different interpretation...  The SS did bobble the ball before making the throw to second base, but that becomes moot because the throw to 2B clearly beat the runner to the base, it was just wild.  So the bobble has nothing to do with the outcome of the fielders choice. 

In the box scores, the information is stated differently... In game one, it reads the batter reached on an error by the SS with no mention of the atttempted play at 2B; and in game two, it reads that the batter reached on a fielders choice with the error being a throwing error to second and the runner advancing to third.  In both instances it was clearly a fielders choice and the error that occured were throwing errors on that choice by the fielder.   The batter reaching base safely while the runner who the fielders choice is acted on is safe by error... is the same as the batter reaching base on an error.

It is one of the things that makes the game interesting... there are so many things to discuss.

Doesn't really matter... I just wondered if I had been misintrepating something for years.   :)

This weather is terrible, supposedly one of the worst storms in 25 years.... I don't see any weekly games being played, and if there are any it wouldn't be until Thursday or Friday I suppose.... Brockport plays at New Paltz on Wednesday in a double header, but with the rain not stopping until late Tuesday, I don't see the NP field being ready... would that be rescheduled to Thursday or Friday? I'd imagine if anything it might be Thursday because Brockport has home conference DH on Sat(SUNY IT) and Sun(Platts), and NP travels to Oswego(sat) and Cortland (sun)... does anyone know anything about how the re-scheduling might work?

After hitting the rulebook, OxyBob is correct. Three cheers.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 15, 2007, 07:22:48 PM
Thanks for looking into it...

I still say it was an unearned run... I understand what OxyBob is saying, but the runners was able to reach 3rd on the over throw BECAUSE the error allowed him to reach 2nd safely.  If the throw is accurate and caught, he is out.  AND if the runner is not on first to create the fielders choice the batter is thrown out at first.

I just feel that the first error brought on the second one by creating the fielders choice... and that choice is what let the second runner on.  If after researching the rule book, Oxy Bob and John say its earned, becasue of what is inthe rule book... then it must be. 

Then I question the unearned run in the first game that occured on the same play...   ;D

Personally, I think they are both unearned... but not a biggee.  Just asked for your thoughts... thanks for putting time into it.

And it isn't a big deal, as it was not the winning run... Brockport didn't get the bats going to to score runs and make it an issue.  threathened in 4 innings with runner to 2nd, but couldn't get the hit to bring the runs in.

Its one of the things that baseball creates so those of us who really love and enjoy the game get a chance to research and discuss the rules.

Thanks...

4bsbll4,

I feel the same way about the likely hood of the Wednesday games... I don't think a field can take 3 days of rain, especically with the ground already being saturated... and be ready the next day.  But you never know.

I don't know what they would do to reschedule if it is canceled...  I would think the next week would be the way to go so the field is ready.  But I have no idea what the rules are...

Also, Plattsburgh has only played 4 conference games to date... they will have to play 10 conference games in an 8 day period.  Good thing that they come to the west end of the state for the first four, as we haven't gotten as much precip as the other areas...  wonder what happens if they dont' play all the games?

I wonder if any of the teams will actually play 40 games this year.

With apologies to Ernie .......Let's play, uh, 40, and let's play 'em in MILWAUKEE!!

Of course, that's if you can get to Brewtown on the D3 bus.

Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 15, 2007, 08:13:10 PM
LOL Jdex... well said.

It will be interesting to see how and when teams get the games in... and the condensing of a  lot of conference games in a short period of time may impact the pitching rotations and possibly the outcomes too.  I hope the games in Cortland and Oswego can take place next weekend... if they can't, there is a real issue with some teams getting all the games in.  we shall see...

Oxy Bob...
The play I asked about is not an big issue... I just asked as I thought it was incorrect.  Still do feel its incorrect...  Your explaination makes it plausible that it is earned, based on the complication of the scoring rules.   Holmes scored on the double from first, which he reached on an FC... as the play with the error was made at second base on anohter runner.   The thing I did was "assume" that the first error contributed to the second error... because of the first runner reaching on an error, and if he wasn't on base Holmes would have been thrown out at first.  You correctly pointed out that the run scored on the double from first... and the runner reached on a fielders choice where an error (that would not have ended the inning) occurred at a different base/runner.  The fact that the runner who was safe at second on the error reached on an error on the previous play... can't influence the next batter reaching base as he did in this case.  Can you?   ???

It is an interesting situation... and I enjoy discussing this type of technicality so I asked the question.  I suspect you do too, as you looked into it... thanks.

Post by: Paul Heering on April 15, 2007, 11:27:33 PM
i agree with officer maxwell on this scoring issue, all should be unearned.  the basic rule (and this is a simplification of it is), reconstruct the inning, if all of the fielders made the expected plays (no errors), if in that reconstruction no runs score, than there are no earned runs.

i think this is how it went

first batter - on by a fielding error (should be out #1...)
second batter - on with a fielders choice, and the runner is safe at 2nd with a throwing error (should be out # 2...)
third batter - hits a double (scoring to unearned runs)
fourth batter - flys out to the outfield (should be out #3...)
fifth batter - flys out to the outfield (4th out?)
sixth batter - singles to right, to score the 3rd run.  since the innning should have been over, this too is an unearned run.

if you reconstruct the inning with plays being made you get
first batter is out
second batter is out
third batter hits a double
fourth batter is out.

end of inning, 1 hit, 1 runner left on base, 0 runs. 

the only tricky part is this.....

Tthe official scorer obviously thought that when there was a runner on first and a ground ball that this runner would have been out at second with a good throw (b/c if he/she did not there would have been no error) if somehow this was a ground ball where the only play was the force (meaning there was no way you would throw out the runner at first) then, i think, it is possible that this run is earned.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Paul Heering on April 15, 2007, 11:32:51 PM
2003 major league baseball rule book states (sorry that is the latest one i have)

page 94

Earned Runs
10.18 An earned run is a run for which the pitcher is held accountable.   In determining earned runs, the inning should be reconstructed without the errors (which include catcher's interference) and passed balls, and the benefit of the doubt should always be given to the pitcher in determining which bases would have been reached by errorless play.

i think the underlined section clears up how we decide this and the part in italics clears up the issue about the second runner to reach base
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 16, 2007, 11:16:17 AM
Based on what Don has quoted... I was correct. :D

The benefit of the doubt is given to the pitcher if the inning is reconstructed without the errors having occured... the errors put two runners on base who ended up scoring.  BASED on what Don has referenced, batter Holmes reaching first on the FC, is just like the error was committed on him... since the runner who was on base via the first error should not have been there because of that error.

Interesting...  I've been doing it correctly.  Which makes me feel good...
;D

But its over and really doesn't change the outcome of the game.

Thanks to both of you for the research on it...  :)
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Paul Heering on April 16, 2007, 11:47:58 AM
looks like i need to have a meeting with the bobs, sorry somewhat obscure reference but it made me laugh.  onto the earned run topic

oxy, i didn't have the ncaa book so i went to mlb.  but what you quoted was basically the same thing as the mlb rule.

you seem stuck on the fact that holmes (the second batter) reached on a fielders choice.  that doesn't matter.  If there were no errors in the inning (i.e., if the first batter had been put out) homes would not have reached.  it would have been a ground out.  i did not have wisley making two outs.  i had wisley making the first out (without the error).   what you need to consider is "what would have happened" if wisley got up with nobody on base and hit the same ground ball.  he would have been out.  the fact that he "Ended up" reaching on a fielders choice doesn't matter.  if there was no error on the first batter then there would have been nobody on base, therefore making it impossible for him to hit into a fielders choice.

i think it is interesting to discuss this stuff (and i realize i am in the minority in real life by saying that) but i think they are all unearned runs.  but i appreciate someone elses opinion and actually find the discussion interesting (i would say we are having a discussion i wouldn't want oxybob, bobby max, or anyone else to think this is an arguement).

bobby max--since the senate is looking into the steroids thing maybe they could throw this in and get bobby jr's era lowered.  just a thought
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 16, 2007, 12:02:06 PM
oxybob is right, just read the rule in the ncaa book. there should have been 2 runs unearned and 1 earned run.
bob, u do make a good point about giving the pitcher the benefit of the doubt and without reading the rule i would have also said that every run would have been unearned but apparently there are people who know more than me, interestingly enough!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 16, 2007, 01:24:03 PM
LOL....  :D  and it really was an out loud laugh at Don's comments about the Senate hearings!  I am still laughing at that point!!!  Thanks Don...   :D

I think we all enjoy talking about this stuff... OR is it just that its raining and we don't have any games to discuss today or for the next few days?

I said it in my first post on this... that with the pitcher being my son, I don't want it to come across as sour grapes...  I just asked the question to see what the correct interpretation is.  AND I have to say that all four of you have really shown that you know your baseball and have a passion for getting things right!!!  That is great to know I'm not the only one...  ;)  Also, that we are all willing to hear others comments and weigh them with our thoughts without flipping out about it.

Communicating in this fashion... email and postings... makes if very difficult to actually have a conversatin about the finer points of the issue.  I think the one thing that both Don and Oxybob indicate in their posts is that the scorer has some discression as to what they do with the play. 

I think if you take both the rules quoted you can score it either way... it just depends on the subtle things that the scorer takes into consideration.  And we can't put ourselves in that moment after the fact.

Its not an issue taht will shake the world at its foundations or impact much no matter how it was scored, it was just a question asked because I thought it was incorrect.  It has sparked a lot of discussion... which is probably a good thing with the bad weather in the northeast, so it takes our minds off of being unable to watch games.

Good discussion... thanks!  :)


Anyone have any thoughs on how teams will be able to get in all their conference games?  If it rains so much that games can't be played this weekend, it will be hard to get them all in. 

And if they are all played in a bunch, what do you think the change in pitching rotations/matchups will mean to the final results of any games?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spence on April 16, 2007, 02:04:43 PM
If I understand all of this right, Don Mattingly is correct if one exception is not true.

The first out should have been the man reaching by error. The second out should have been the man who reached on a fielder's choice (accounting for an out if there were no errors anyway). So that's two out, nobody on. Then the third out. 0 runs earned.

There is one possible but highly unlikely exception. If the ball that was a fielder's choice was such that a routine play was possible at second, but not at first, then in the reconstruction you'd say he was earned. But you could only do this if you could definitively say the batter-runner would have been safe if the fielder would have had to throw to first, because any doubt goes to the pitcher's benefit. Most likely if there wouldn't have been a play at first, you probably wouldn't charge an error on the throw to second. But I suppose it is possible.

Stuff like this is why I don't really pay that much attention to ERA. So many people screw up earned runs.

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 17, 2007, 01:24:07 PM
Cortland and St. Joseph's have had a nice little rivalry after the last few years. Coach Brown's done a good job getting downstate and playing some of the Skyline schools each year. Offhand, Cortland's played Centenary, St. Joseph's, Mt. St. Mary, and Manhattanville just to name a few.

Not a lot of open dates left on Cortland and Ithaca's schedule. Especially with all the cancellations already. Cortland's schedule is pretty backloaded with still having to play New Paltz and Oneonta at home, plus make the trip up to Plattsburgh. Ithaca still has RIT and Utica on the road in conference, plus a smattering of non-conference single games.

We'll see how it shakes out. After all, the IC-Cortland games at Freeman Field are always the stuff of pure announcing gold.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: FranElia on April 17, 2007, 03:17:35 PM
Bob,

Here are my two cents on the scoring issue you brought up.

Actually, I'm stealing "Spence's" two cents - he explained it the same way I would have. When re-creating the inning without errors or passed balls, the first batter who reached on an error would have been out #1. The next batter then reached on a fielder's choice, but in the "re-created" inning, there's nobody on first, so I assume the fielder could have thrown out the batter at first for out #2. Spence also mentions correctly that the only way you assume batter #2 reaches first bases in the "re-created" inning is if there was a play at second, but no play at first, in the scorer's judgment.

Assuming batter #2 would have been out on his grounder if the bases were empty, then the entire inning becomes unearned, in my opinion. If the only possible play was at second, then batter #2 reaches first in the "re-creation" and that changes things.

In other words, I agree with you Bob (and nice job Spence!!)

Bob,

It's not over just yet. The fat lady hasn't just sung. Cortland still needs to play Oneonta and New Paltz.

Traditionally, when Cortland's had a chance to close things out, they have. But don't count the Golden Eagles out.

Cortland-New Paltz will be broadcast on Sunday. One of two games is on the local radio and the other is on the Internet.

I remember my first Cortland-NP doubleheader, 25-1 and 16-1, or something along those lines. Party time.

I never would have thought there would be much of a market for a book on this mess. More power to him that he found a personal niche out of something a lot of people know.

Good to have confirmation of my solution. The one that gets me is when someone sacrifices after a guy gets on by error...I'm like 'well he wouldn't have sacrificed if not for the error' lol.

OxyBob,

Thanks for taking my question forward to "Andy" (Mr. Wirkmaa)... I only asked the question because I thought that all 3 runs should have been unearned.  I enjoyed the comments back and forth about it, but was not going to pursue it any further.  I really appreciate your taking it forward... and asking the expert! 

Also, Don said it on the board and so did Andy... it is fun to talk about this type of thing.   I am just tickled that he got excited about the question we all discussed and think it is great that he complimented you for asking a great question! 

Thanks to you on three levels for your posts and exchanges with Andy:
1) for knowing where to go on this... to get the answer. 
2) for stating in your letter to Andy for calling all of who post on the board your friends!!!  That is a great compliment to all of us, and shows that you understand what this board is for.  to exchange thoughts, opinions and ideas and at the same time respecting the same of others! To quote you: "I have a question that's been bandied about between me and some of my friends".
3) for putting the information on the board to share with all of us, despite it not being in agreement with your original position.

It is a pleasure to exchange ideas with someone who is a true professional and obviously is secure with who they are.  We should all be as well versed in what we do as you obviosly are.


Thanks again, but even after the exchange, it won't change what is in the box score as we are just exchanging opinions here... nor the outcome of a great game!!!

Look forward to the balance of the season...  As John said, its not over yet.  John, I'm not tossing in  the towel and giving up yet.  The Eagles will need to be dealt with and are a real threat to win the SUNYAC... no matter where it is played!  Despite their three late inning fiasco's, they have the pitching to beat anyone, anywhere at any time!  It will be a fun end to the season...  with hotly contended  races for first and fourth place!

Cortland @ Plattsburgh (4/26)
Oswego @ Plattsburgh (4/28)
Fredonia @ Oneonta (4/28)
New Paltz @ Oneonta (4/29)
Plattsburgh @ SUNYIT (4/29)

I can't remember a year that the last two spots in the conference tournament have been so hotly contested. The last couple years there's been a battle for the fourth spot into the final weekend. This year, there are four, potentially five teams that could end up in the third or fourth seed in the tournament. And I bet Cortland is happy that they will not have to play Brockport in the opening round - after the result the last two years.

Other then Cortland winning the title, and Brockport clinching a spot in the tournament (no lower then 3rd, as they hold the tie breaker on all the teams except Oswego) and SUNY IT is out... everything else is still up in the air.

I don' t think anyone else has clinched a spot in the tournament yet.

The next 7 days will be the most interesting in the SUNYAC.... as anything can happen.  SUNYIT has 4 games left and can still be a problem for the teams that play them.  They are improved from the last few yeats...

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 26, 2007, 09:40:13 AM
Scuba,

Interesting question...

I think if Cortland doesn't win the SUNYAC they have a bid locked up... not sure what the difference is between Pool B & C are (just haven't taken the time to figure it out)... but either way they have a spot locked up.

I think that the only ohter team that will have a shot at getting a bid if they don't win the SUNYAC is Brockport.  But as it did last year, that may hinge on how many upsets there are in other tournaments around the northeast.  The best way for Brockport to be sure is to win the SUNYAC

ALL the other teams will have to win the SUNYAC to get a bid.

The only teams in the conference with a chance to go to the tournament if they don't win SUNYACs are Cortland and Brockport.

I think Brockport's on a little on the edge though. They can't afford any bad losses and they'll need to play Cortland in the SUNYAC title game. If they do that, then, with the enlarged Pool C field, anything can happen.

The Brockport vs. Ithaca doubleheader this weekend should clear things up a little more. A sweep either way is a big boost.

Cortland wins the SUNYAC regular season title.

Cortland 13 Plattsburgh 6
Plattsburgh 8 Cortland 7 (9)...Cortland used a pitcher-by-committee. Dougher went five innings and held the Cardinals scoreless. Cards score the winning run on a squeeze play with a bunt single.

It's Plattsburgh's first victory over Cortland in their modern era and first win over Cortland since 1976 (before I was born).

Cortland 11-3; Brockport 9-5; Oswego 7-5; Fredonia 6-6; Plattsburgh 5-5; New Paltz 5-7; Oneonta 4-6; SUNYIT 1-11

BIG games for four teams Saturday... Oswego at Plattsburgh & Fredonia at Oneonta.    AND depending on what happens Saturday... more big games on Sunday with New Paltz at Oneonta and Plattsburgh at SUNYIT.

Everyone get out your conference rule books...

What are the tie breakers for a 3 or 4 way tie?  It is possible that there is a 3 or 4 way tie for 3rd place or 4th place... and possibly a three way for second too If Oneonta wins out and Oswego sweeps Saturday.

Just wondering if anyone knows the criteria. 


It is my understanding that a 2 way tie is broken by head to head games, and if they are a split, then who won the 9 inning game wins the tie.

Is that correct?

Again, very interesting conference season...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 27, 2007, 02:00:43 PM
OOPs... got confused (again!)  :D

There can't be a 3 way tie for second... just two possibilities for a 2 way tie.

Sorry about that....

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 28, 2007, 10:36:00 AM
TIE BREAKERS:

I didn't hear anything to the contrary, so I put this together based on the pemise that a 2 way tie is broken by;
1) sweep of two games between the teams
2) winner of the 9 inning game in a split

Based on that, here are the tie-breakers for any 2-way ties:
I am only listing the ties that could actually happen:

Brockport - over Plattsburgh (won game #1)
Oswego - over Brockport & Oneonta (swept both teams)
Fredonia - over Oswego (sweep) and Plattsburgh (won game #1)
Plattsburgh - over New Paltz (won game #1)
Oneonta - over Plattsburgh (won game #1)
New Paltz - over Fredonia (won game #1)


Undetermined as these games still need to be played:
Played today:
Oswego at Plattsburgh
Fredonia at Oneonta

Exciting finish to the season... and the host site was just clinched on Thursday.  This has been a really exciting season!

That is GREAT for the conference oveall... competition brings on growth.  I wonder what the SUNYAC record is against the other NY state conferences?

To be played tomorrow;
Oneonta at New Paltz
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on April 28, 2007, 11:11:09 AM
If tiebreakers anything like hoops, it's head-to-head series, then we believe it's how a team did against No. 1, then No. 2, etc. That obviously gives edge to Bports for placement purposes since Eagles swept CSt. If Bport No. 2, the 3-4 seeding would come from how those teams fared vs. Bport (since no one else stopped CSt). Run differential in series is another lower criteria, we thinketh

Sure, Plattsburgh beat Cortland. While its a boost to Plattsburgh's morale, I doubt the loss worried Cortland. The Dragons had already clinched the conference title and were using a pitcher-by-committee, using some kids that normally don't get a lot of work. If Jimmy Dougher pitches the whole game, Cortland more than likely wins.

Plattsburgh's sweep today means that they just need to beat lowly SUNYIT tomorrow to set a tournament trip to Cortland. Should that happen, they'll meet old friend Brockport in the opening round.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 28, 2007, 07:08:54 PM
John,

Thanks for taking the time and effort to put together the records vs other NY conferences... interesting.

Two tough losses for Brockport today.  Both teams pitched well enought to win, but Ithaca made several very good defensive plays to prevent runs from scoring and came out on top twice.  Brockports bats just couldn't string any hits... as they hit 10 line drives at fielders... and at least 3 times Ithaca infielders dove, knocked a ball down and got an out to end an inning or scoring threat.

Frustrating from a Brockport fans perspective, but two very good games from a pure baseball perspective.  It could turn out differently tomorrow... looked like two pretty well matched teams.

Cudos to Ithaca for the wins...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 28, 2007, 07:13:03 PM
Despite all the excitement about a lot of teams having a shot at the tournament... If Plattsburgh sweeps IT, and Oneonta sweeps New Paltz... its the same four as in the last two years.

If New Paltz takes a game from Oneonta, Oswego is in... based on their sweep over Oneonta.

Still is a great thing that so many had a chance...

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Plattsburgh clinched at least a #4 seed, if they get swept, they would be 7-7, they have the tie breaker over Oswego (7-7) and NP even if NP sweeps, if Plattsburgh takes 1 game from IT and Oneonta splits or is swept, they are the 3, if Oneonta sweeps and Plattsburgh splits, Oneonta is 3, Plattsburgh is 4

New Paltz:::
In with: a sweep of Oneonta

Oswego:::
In with: a split of Oneonta and NP

Oneonta:::
In with: a sweep over NP

... thats if the tie breaking procedure is done by who won the 9-inning game, if its run differential or how they fared against the teams ahead of them, then I don't know how it works and I can't find anything online with the tie-breaking procedures in the SUNYAC, it would be nice if they posted it somewhere

I think this is a good draw for cortland if they can win the first game. Everyone seems to have a pretty good 1 and 2 on the mound but if cortland and brockport both win avoiding b'ports #1 is key, he is pretty good! I think cortlands pitching staff will be the reason they win if in fact they do win the sunyac. I think this was a very even year throughout the conference and it shows with the records that the teams had.
Who will start thet 1st games for everyone? Cortland-Dougher, Jweid, Zgorlelski, Brockport-Denstadt(sp), Maxwell, Oneonta?, Plattsburgh?
Any insight?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 30, 2007, 11:10:21 AM
Brockport - Casey Scott...Maxwell and Dennstedt are the aces of the staff. But both were hit hard by Plattsburgh in their doubleheader. Coach Rowland can afford to rest both of them and throw Scott, who's having a great year and who Plattsburgh hasn't seen. Even if they lose, they'd still have both Maxwell and Dennstedt available.

Cortland - Mike Zgorzelski...Pitched well against Oneonta earlier this month. Coach Brown may want to save Dougher for Brockport. Jweid might be an option too because he didn't pitch against Oneonta.

Oneonta - Erik Weber...Most success of the current Oneonta pitchers against Cortland hitters. Tom Locke had been pitching well against Cortland before getting hammered for five runs and 10 hits a few weeks ago in a 5-3 loss to C-State.

Plattsburgh - Matt Dahlin...Fifth year senior that earned a win over Brockport earlier this year. He's been around so he's able to handle playoff pressure. Matt Kelly could be the other choice. Coach Doorey doesn't have the luxury to rest his ace in the opening game.

hey john,
don't u have to throw your best guy in game 1? conventional thinking says yes, if you lose with someone other than your best its gotta have u saying what if. its definately a gamble not to. although, for cortland, oneonta or brockport if u can win with a #3 or #4 on day 1 it really sets your pitching up for the rest of the tourney. i'd have to throw dougher if i were cortland, can't save anyone for tommorow.
another option for cortland is tone if ur not throwing #1 on day 1, he has been lights out.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Paul Heering on April 30, 2007, 05:10:26 PM
Not that anybody asked me but....

In theory, and if i were the coach, i would do exactly what John is saying, look at who has pitched against who, who has pitched well lately, who is coming up in the next game, and many other factors when deciding who to throw in game 1 of the tourney

In what will happen, i agree with Scuba, coaches will pitched their best available, and go from there.  and i think they will do this for the exact reason scuba listed, if you don't pitch your best you leave yourself open to being second guessed.

Last three years in the opening round

2006: Cortland vs. Brockport; Cortland started Chris Bilyk. Cortland's ace, Jimmy Dougher, pitches in the elimination game against Plattsburgh.

2005: Cortland vs. Brockport; Cortland started Jimmy Dougher. Cortland's top two pitchers, Mike Burnett and Matt Miller, pitch later in the tournament.

2004: Cortland vs. Plattsburgh; Cortland started Mike Hubbs. Matt Miller and Mike Burnett pitch later in the tournament. All three had seven wins.

Post by: Paul Heering on April 30, 2007, 06:44:24 PM
i stant corrected, Cortland seems to mix it up.

i think teams should do that.  take a chance.  i think that too many teams play the tournament day by day instead of looking at the tournament as a whole.  unless you are a borderline pool c candidate and this is a conference tourney, i don't see the difference between doing two and BBQ and losing in the final game.  you either win the tourney or you don't.

i have some interesting thoughts on this though. wait until you see some of the theories i have about the 7 team double elimination tournaments.

i know what cortland has done in the past but there seems to be a little more parody this year as opposed to other years! in cortland's case dougher is clearly the #1 but behind him u have zgorzelski, jweid and tone so i guess you could afford to lose on friday and have some outstanding pitching to come back with but i would rather win on friday and lose 1st game saturday than vice versa, u eliminate a losers bracket game. i wonder if it depends on who throws for brockport game 1 to determine who cortland throws? cortland got a tough draw, oneonta always plays them tough. cortland will be tough to beat in this double elimination tournament though, they are built for double elim with their pitching depth!
Title: Re: SUNYAC

what did otterbien do last year?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Spence on April 30, 2007, 09:21:23 PM
Otterbein mixed up their pitchers all sorts of crazy.

They were the two seed. They threw a guy that had made only 3 starts (I think, none good) against #7 seed Elizabethtown and lost in 10 innings. The kid had thrown pretty well in a coupel of relief stints, but was their regular first baseman.

OK so first game the next day they throw their #2 against King's in an elimination game. 2nd game they throw their superb ace in the elimination game against the Wooster/Manchester loser, which wound up being top seeded Wooster. Remenowsky sticks the bats up their fannies and they're gone.

Then from there they went as you would expect -- #3, #4 and made it to the championship round against Marietta. The guy OTT threw in the first game of the tournament beat the National Pitcher of the Year Eisenberg. Then Marietta beat Otterbein in the championship game in 11 innings which OTT split up between their #1, #2 and their relief specialist.

It would be easy to say they screwed themselves by not going with their best guy in the first game, and maybe they did. Maybe Remo could have shut out ETown, Stevens could have beaten Marietta and they'd be one game away But they didn't lose to ETown because of bad pitching, didn't go to extras with Adrian because of bad pitching, and Wright threw very well in beating Marietta's Eisenberg later on in the tournament. But they did lose in the end to a team that was not the #1 seed (and hence had to play just as many games to get to the championship as they would have had they won the winner's bracket).
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 30, 2007, 11:08:33 PM
ya but if OTT throws there guys in the conventional manner #1-4 and they win the first 2 games they are in the drivers seat. the other teams are scrambling and wasting arms in the loser bracket while the winners bracket is just sitting there resting guys. i'll take my rested #3 and #4 vs anybody coming out of the losers bracket. the losers bracket is an unforgiving place that eats up arms and wears teams out physically and mentally. not second guessing anybody, its easy to do but i just think playing it the straight way is the way to go, throw your best the 1st day. i've seen it work both ways, you look like a genius when u throw your #4 and he wins the 1st game and a retard when he throws like crap and loses with you #1 just siting there.
here's another way to look at it, just say that OTT lost the 1st game with the kid who only had 3 starts and the next day instead of winning their #2 loses. Ott season is done and their #1 never threw a pitch. how bad would that be. u have to throw your best guy within the first 2 games, especially if you lose the first. if not, you are leaving yourself open for some serious criticism, what can you say as a head coach if your seasons is over and your #1 never took the hill?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: BoomerIL on May 01, 2007, 10:28:02 AM
Without any doubt, you have to put your #1 on the mound in game one.  He has to be supported with the "best" defensive line-up next.  Hopefully the hitting will support your #1's efforts.  You play each game has if it were possibly your last game, with no-tomorrow in sight.

As we all know, the variables of this game come from players inconsistencies to perform.  Your pitcher could walk and/or give-up hits, your defense falls apart, and your hitters fail to the others teams #1.

It's just my opinion, but you have to play each game like it is potentionally your last.  Put your "best" out there first!!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 01, 2007, 11:02:37 AM
Some interesting speculations on who will pitch for each team.  One of the more interesting is the possibility of Cortland deciding who they will throw based on who Brockport throws...

:D

I will bet money that each coach has known for at least a week what pitching rotation they want to follow in the tournament.  They want to put their players in the best possibly matchups possible... but you can't think one game ahead because if you don't win this game you may be done.

I.e. #4 seed has beaten the #1 seed each of the last two years...  Yes, the # 1 came back to win the tournament both times, but this year is a different year.  And each team has at least two pitchers who can shut the other teams down.  So you never know...

Also, as boomer says, there are other factors that can play into what happens in a game... defense and hitting.  You can pitch a great game and lose a low scoring game if you don't field and hit.  And you can struggle on the mound and win a game 12-10.

The coaches know what they want to do... and are each positioning their teams accordingly.  Pitching, defense and hitting.

It will be fun to watch it unfold...

Just to clarify, I wasn't advocating what Otterbein did. I'm just saying if you're saying you have some unconventional ideas, you might be interested in it.

There are exceptions to everything. Even though a coach may always, always, always run his ace out there for the first game, there may be a case where it makes sense to do something else. I've been there when that happened and believe me, it was a shock. But the reasoning was excellent.

RIT 8 Brockport 7 (10)

Casey Scott started and pitched three in a pre-determined rotation. He'll be available for the weekend, probably by Saturday. This means it'll be Maxwell or Dennstedt against the Cardinals on Friday; unless Scott is coming back on short rest.

kinda clears up what brockport is thinking of doing pitching wise this friday.
now do they start #1 or #2, dennenstadt or maxwell the first game?
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 01, 2007, 01:52:26 PM
I'd guess Maxwell. Dennstedt was pounded for six runs on 10 hits against Plattsburgh earlier this year. Maxwell gave up only two runs on six hits.

might see a Dougher vs Dennstedt winners bracket final on saturday.
good matchup
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: BoomerIL on May 01, 2007, 02:35:02 PM
John....

Not taking anything away from Maxwell, but just because Dennstedt got "punded" earlier doesn't necessarily mean that will happen again.  I'll give you an example, Dreimiller from RPI is their #2 and is rated fairly high.  Rochester pounded him, and they may do it again, but I think the odds of that happening again, at least the way they did beat him, is highly unlikely.  His pitching stats a pretty nice, and he could come out on top at the next meeting.  Its not easy being a manager, and then being second-guessed!!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 01, 2007, 03:16:16 PM
Based on what happened in the regular season, I expect that we will see Dougher vs Weber in the second game on Friday.  It was a 0-0 tie going into the last inning before either of them got into any real trouble.  We may see a repeat of that great game!

In the game between Plattsburgh and Brockport, I don't think its as cut and dry as there are different things to think about from both sides.  So this one is a bit of a mystery...  We will find out in a few days.

No matter who pitches, the teams need to play defense and hit to win.

AND nobody wants to have to play twice on Friday.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: cstate19 on May 01, 2007, 11:04:48 PM
Cortland will save Dougher for game #2.   If they win Game #1 he gets a chance to put them in the final.  If they lose the first he saves you from being elminated.  Its a no lose.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on May 02, 2007, 10:13:58 AM
The difference between losing on friday and saturday is huge. Lose on friday and you have to win 4 in a row to win the whole thing. Lose on saturday u only have to win 3. 1 game is a big thing in a double elim. As a coach I have done it both ways, save your best and threw my best on day 1, its worked out both bad and good. My opinion is that if you are an underdog, you got nothing to lose by saving #1 because if you win with a different guy you kinda even the playing field a bit. If you are the favorite, you earned it because you probably have the better team and might want to chuck your best guy on day 1. Whatever happens happens, makes for good conversation though!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: cstate19 on May 02, 2007, 01:05:53 PM
Cortland has won 4 in a row in both the SUNYAC tourney and the World Series.  This is why Brown saves his ace.  Also it is a lot easier to win 4 in a row with your ace starting that 4 game streak.

??if you go 3-0 you win the tournament. if you play 4 games it means you lost somewhere. start #1 and go from there. cortland has come out of the losers bracket 3 out of the last 4 yrs i think. go 1,2,3,4 pitching wise! u want your best guy to throw the 1st game of the regional don't u?? this is the same kind of tournament.  just my opinion
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Jim Dixon on May 02, 2007, 03:00:16 PM
Typically you want your best pitcher first because he can have some rest and pitch later on.  If the time is short that you cannot turn around your number 1, playing the matches makes sense.

If I am the bottom seed, I might not think I have a chance in the first game so save #1, #2 so your #1 pitches against the other teams #2, giving you slight advantage in games 2,3.

This might work as it might help the team think they have an advantage and play more aggressively.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on May 02, 2007, 06:37:34 PM
alot of the times, good teams play real tough behind there # 1 because they know he is going to go out there and be lights out. mental advantage #1 seed, disadvantage lower seeds!
sometimes when you don't throw your best available guy out there and things don't go well right away, a team tanks it psychologically. mental disadvantage #1 seed, advantage lower seeds.
i agree matchups are a way to go for an underdog but the favorite should come out and make a statement the first game. baseball is a real mental game for your team and for the other teams watching you. if you come out and dominate first game, some teams are already beat before you play them the next day. thats why i'm saying if your cortland you gotta come out and make a statement the first game and let everybody know, this is our tournament!
opinions vary, just offering mine!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 02, 2007, 10:34:00 PM
One of the bigger factors is the type of pitching depth behind the number one. If a team has decent frontline starters behind their number one; they may wait on the number one - either to pitch in the winners bracket final or the elimination game.

Cortland does have solid starters behind Dougher. While Dougher is very good, Zgorzelski and Jweid aren't awful and are perfectly capable. I could see any one of the three pitching on Friday afternoon. I'm sure that Coach Brown has known who's going to pitch for him in the opening game for some time now. I can't imagine the Brockport-Plattsburgh result in the 10:00 AM game changing that.

Now, if you're a team without a quality pitcher behind number one and your next two are average at best, then you have to go with your ace. No question. For say an Oneonta or a Plattsburgh without great pitching depth, you have to pitch your number one starter in the opening game, there's no choice.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 03, 2007, 07:42:14 AM
Some very interesting opinions and insights here...  There are a lot of ways for each team to go.   The mental toughness of a team will have as much to do with what happens as who pitches... you have to think you can win a game, no matter who is pitching or you shouldn't play it.  Records of teams in this tournament against the others:

Brockport     4-2
Cortland      3-3
Plattsburgh 3-3
Oneonta      2-4

With only two of the games being decided by more then 3 runs.  The mental edge, be it from pitching, big defensive plays or a big hit will play a BIG part in this tournament's outcome.

It should be interesting.

Post by: John McGraw on May 03, 2007, 10:54:57 AM
BTW, good luck to Plattsburgh and Brockport for having to play at 10:00 AM. It's hard enough broadcasting a game that early, I can't imagine playing in one at that time. The real winners though are the ones that are there all Friday, from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

2004 would have been my first time broadcasting the entire first day of the tournament, from 9:50 AM to whenever the third game finished. The only thing I remember from that day was that it was really hot and the second game was just awful, an 18-0 Cortland whitewash of Plattsburgh. It was such a beating, even Ryan Ensel got a hit.

Bob,

Get there early because its always a pain in the ass to find a parking spot. Cortland, as usual, will be hosting every SUNYAC spring sports tournament. There will be softball, women's lax and on Saturday, men's lax too. Plus, usually that weekend, there's a state volleyball tournament that's played at Lusk Field House and those parents take up about 85% of the parking. Good luck :)
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 03, 2007, 11:50:30 AM
We wondered if the volleyball tournament was going to be going again this year...  How come they didnt' cancel classes?    ;)

I have my Buffalo service parking permit, won't that let me park right behind the pressbox?  LOL...    ;D
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 03, 2007, 12:48:55 PM
Pray that the volleyball tournament isn't going on this year. Last year, I think it was the second day perhaps, we lost power in the press box. That weekend there were all the SUNYAC sports tournaments, plus volleyball, plus a concert over at the gym.

They'll probably block off the lot behind the field like they usually do. The volleyball parents are sneaky, they'll try to drive around the barriers so they can park like next to Lusk. I'd say try to park by Davis Field, but that might even be filled in the morning because of class.

The gigantic lot next to the gym might be the best bet if you can find a spot.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with that parking mess this year. Though, I will miss the tournament.

got any more questions you want answered about playing or coaching baseball, ask and i'll fill you in. that cstate19 must have been your # on the throw away jersey that parge gave you or the intramural broomeball championship squad at cortland, obviously not the college baseball team that i played for!

If you will gladly check a couple pages back I allready made the point that college kids do not always come to play everyday.  I guess you can be Carlos Mencia and I will be Joe Rogan since you are stealing my material.  Congratulations on playing college baseball.  I did not know that a simple comment would make you go home and kick your dog.  If Joe Torre gets fired this season I assume you will get the job since apparently you know everything and there are no other opinions.  My point was that not all college kids can come out mentally strong everyday.  This is what seperates the championship teams from the others.  This was also my point since I think Cortland will win the SUNYACs that they could afford to save their #1 since they would play mentally tough behind anyone. 


P.S.  Once again, congratulations on playing college baseball.

Bit of a surprise at the SUNYAC tournament in Cortland

Bottom 5
Plattsburgh 5 Brockport 5

*The Cardinals scored three runs in the fourth inning and knocked Brockport starter Casey Scott from the game.

*As I was typing 5-2 Plattsburgh, the Golden Eagles ripped off three runs on a sac fly by SUNYAC tournament stud Mike Avery and a RBI single by Anthony Shallo that brought home two runs, one by the single, the other by a Plattsburgh error.
Title: Re: SUNYAC

*Matt Dahlin smacked a two-run home run to give the Cards the lead back
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 04, 2007, 01:01:33 PM
FINAL

Brockport 8 Plattsburgh 7 (10)

*Tim Wilson smacked a game-tying two-run home run in the ninth inning. At the time, Plattsburgh was two outs away from the win.

*Brockport scored the game-winning run on a dropped fly ball in the 10th inning with two outs. The Golden Eagles rally started after the first two batters of the inning were retired. 

*Game featured 27 combined hits (13 Platty, 14 Brock) and six errors; four committed by Plattsburgh

*Brockport plays Cortland/Oneonta winner tomorrow. Plattsburgh will go eat and then play the loser of Cortland/Oneonta later today.

*Plattsburgh's pitching might be spent. Matt Kelley started and pitched over six innings. Matt Dahlin then pitched the rest of the way. Tough gamble to lose.

*Thanks goes to Cortland SID Fran Elia for the updates.

FINAL

Cortland 12 Oneonta 0

*Dougher tossed a complete-game, two-hit shutout. He struck out nine and walked one.

*Mike Zaccardo and Matt Vitalone each had two RBI. Anthony Coromato had three hits and Jimmy "Dy-no-mite" Basnight had two hits and two runs.

*Cortland vs. Brockport tomorrow at 12:00 p.m.

FINAL

Oneonta 15 Plattsburgh 3

*Brandon Galutz smacked a couple of homers for O-State. Clearly Plattsburgh was emotionally spent from losing the 10:00 a.m. game. Unfortunately, its two and out again for the Cardinals.

*Oneonta will play the loser of the Cortland/Brockport game tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. or somewhere around then

Both in homecomings .....again. They were high school standouts in Cortland. Avery came of age as tourney frosh a year ago. Am sure you're aware

Yes, Dougher threw a great game.  I do not recall saying he wouldn't.  I do recall the debate about which game he pitch a gem in.   If you really want my baseball resume let me know and I will fax it to you.  All I was saying was that there are more then two ways to manage a baseball team.  Just because you played college baseball does not mean you know all.  I easily could have played at certain schools and said I played "college baseball".  If you want to talk baseball you are more then welcome to private message me and we can share our opinions on anything from High School baseball to MLB.  I ask you who might be better equiped to manage a baseball team, the amazing athelete in CF who has the speed to make up for his mistakes or the benchwarmer who sits and watches the whole game and studies everything, picking up tendencies.  I never said you were right or wrong, all I said was that there is a different opion and you flew off the handlebar.  I have learned my lesson on these boards about getting into personal debates and it is just not worth it.  As for repeating what I said, it is not doubtful, all you have to do is scroll back a couple of pages.

*Brockport is eliminated. Oneonta will play Cortland tomorrow in the championship round at noon.

*Oneonta used a four-run fourth to turn a one-run lead into a five-run lead.

*Brockport rallied against Oneonta starter Mike Myrdycz in fifth inning to get within two runs at 6-4. Don Lawrence came in from the Oneonta bullpen and shut down the Golden Eagles over the final 4.2 innings. He allowed one hit and struck out six.

*Brockport reliever Dan Ferraro pitched 5.1 scoreless innings from the bullpen and struck out five in relief of Rob Maxwell. Maxwell was shelled for six runs on ten hits.

*Brandon Galutz, the former Cortland Purple Tiger, went 3-for-3 with two RBI, two runs scored and two doubles. He's been a stud in both Oneonta wins.

*Zgorzelski couldn't find the plate and loaded the bases on a hit and two walks. Back-to-back errors by Matt Vitalone allow three O-State runs to score, all unearned.

*Oneonta runs out of the inning as a runner tries to score on a wild pitch but is called out at the plate.

*Cortland gets one run back on a RBI single by the "Mohawk Valley Mauler" Dan Maycock.

John,

You missed one of the best parts of the Oneonta game vs Brockport... you mention that Brockport did rally back to within two at 6-4.  But the game ended... it almost kept going... on a Tony Shallo 2-run home run that Oneonta's center fielder (Josh Bedosky) brought back from over the fence.  It was a towering shot that was about 60 feet to the left of straight away center field...

the height of it game more anticipation to the moment... wish someone had it on tape as it would be one of the plays that would show up on ESPN's web gems.

Brockport did not quit... as they battled right to the end like they did vs Plattsburgh for the win... and in the 5-4 loss to Cortland.

Disappointing for Brockport fans, but great baseball...  The character that the Eagles showed reflects well on their program and head coach.


The parent in me here... yes, Rob gave up six runs on 10 hits, but I would not charaterize it as being shelled.  As they weren't hitting rockets all over the field... only four of the hits were hit hard, and the others were the type that break your heart... as they were inches from being outs and keeping the game close.  Yes, he gave up hits, but getting shelled is not what happened.  The team stayed in the game and almost tied it in the bottom of the 9th.  GReat job by Dan Ferraro keeping the team a chance to win!

Erik Weber had a similar outting in the game he pitched against Cortland.  he went 4.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 8 runs.  I have only four of those hits being hard hit... the others were the heart breaking ones. 

Both of these guys are pitchers that are top shelf, they simply had bad luck on this day.  It happens... any good pitcher knows that it happens once in a while and comes out to pitch again, being the better for it.  I know I expect to see a well pitched game when either of them is on the mound... and suspect that teams know they are in for a battle when they have to face them both.

It happens, you get over it and go back out the next turn.


Trivia note... all six games were won by the team in the first base dugout.

3 games were by a wide margin... the championship being one of them... but it was 4-4 in the 7th.  So it was a good game for most of it. 

The other three games were nail biters on both sides right up to the end... wondering out loud if Brockport being in all three of them is a coincidence?  Or is it just the Brockport fan in me seeing that.   ;D

As I said, a disappointing out come for fans of Plattsburgh, Brockport and Oneonta... but most of the baseball was top shelf!  Good luck to Cortland... and I hope that the conference continues to grow more next year!

Kudos Bob for a fairly detailed and accurate description of the events that took place at the SUNYAC tournament.  However, the young man who got "shelled" displayed very poor sportmanship after being removed from the game by throwing his glove in disgust and abandonded his team by leaving the dugout to sulk.  So I ask you Bob, your thoughts on the actions of this young man and how it reflects on the Brockport program.......?  Overall, I saw good sportsmanship and good play from the other three teams as you mentioned but failed to mention this incident in your post.  In addition, nice job Cortland for being a fine host to all teams and spectators.

Spree, you fail to mention that the young man left the field of play during the contest.  There's nothing wrong with showing disgust with one's performance but to leave your teammates hanging while battling to overcome the hole that was left for them is not acceptable and can be defined as selfish.  I'm simply saying that it was a selfish act that doesn't represent or support good sportsmanship and a team concept.  I respect your opinion and I agree that some emotion is better than none but composure is paramount for team success.  Also, I never said that he was showing anyone up but he instead embarassed his own team which has to do with sportsmanship.  Failure is part of the game and the way in which it is dealt with, especially by a team leader, can have a negative impact.  I just feel that excuses were made for the pitcher's performance and attitude/composure in big games is what wins not immaturity and selfishness.

From what it sounds like, he could've done a lot worse.

Cut the kid a break, he did something he probably shouldn't have, and I'm sure he won't do it again. I'd imagine his older teammates took him aside or will take him aside and explain that doing something like that isn't acceptable at this level.

It happens. I take nothing more from it. I'm sure he will bounce back this summer and have a good go of it in the NYCBL.

And I don't think there's a need to badger the boy's father about what he did either. It's over, it happened, big deal. Put yourself in his shoes. How would you like to be hassled on a message board about something your son/daughter did in the heat of competition?

Well, cortland ran through their pitchers from #1 - #3 and low and behold won the tournament. I agree that there are different ways to look at the pitching situation but if you are the #1 seed, you should throw your guys in the order established all yr and stick with it. The only thing that sucks is that matt tone didn't get a chance to pitch but that happens when you go 3-0 in a 4 team double elim tourney. Congrats to the players and coaches at cortland, you guys continue to make the baseball alums proud.

As a side note, i think brockport is worthy of a regional bid (probably the best team in the NY region besides cortland) but the 2 late lossses to ithaca and 2 losses in the sunyac tournament may have doomed them.
Ithaca is going to get a regional bid and they may not deserve it. Dropping games left and right late, thats unlike IC. I think hosting the tournament might tip the scales in their favor and they will get in.

Cstate,

I think your correct on Plattsburgh being in the first basee dugout... as Oneonta was already in the 3rd base dugout.  My bad on that...  ::)


Cycle (and others who commented on the bad form...) your absolutely correct on that.  And he has already spoken with us (his parents) about it and apologized for the poor behavior... I would imagine that he has also done the same with his team mates and coaches, and if he hasn't will do so at the first opportunity.

It was disappointment in letting his friends, teammates, coaches and the fans down...  He regrets having done that... and will learn from it.

I see and hear players constantly banging bats and helmets in the dugout all the time after striking out or not succeeding on the field... not from poor sportsmanship, but from feeling as if they let their team down.  I respect the competative spirit of anyone who represents their school in competition and understand how acute the emotion is during a game.  And will cut them a little slack when they get frustrated... if it continues are is a constant reoccuring thing, then I would think it is poor sportsmanship.

He did leave the dugout after being removed from the game, but that was to cool his emotions and collect himself.  It happens all the time at the professional level... you just don't see it as they go into the club house.  In this case, you have to walk through the public area to get to even the rest room.  I think that is a sign of maturity, knowing you need to settle down and collect yourself... He was back in the dugout after a short period of time and was part of the team supporting the team.

I feel that this is something that as John says, can be addressed and we move on from it.  I have no problem addressing it... as it happened, but to his credit, he brought it up to me!

Ithaca beat Brockport head-to-head. That's the difference. Both teams have good wins and bad losses. I think Ithaca is a little down this year, not many times Coach Val's team has dropped three conference games. The Manhattanville loss from earlier this year looks a little better now that the Valiants are going to the NCAA tournament. If they weren't, then it'd be a bad loss. Oswego finished respectably in the SUNYAC but that's someone in the last few years that Ithaca has had their way with.

The SUNYAC tournament exit by Brockport I think seals their fate. I could be wrong. I still think they're a very good team, right on par with Ithaca and better than RPI. The Cortland loss doesn't hurt them as much as the Oneonta loss does. Now granted, Oneonta was ranked in the regional poll last week. They'll probably hop Brockport. Hard to believe that it was a team that barely made it into the SUNYAC tournament and had to do so by beating New Paltz and Fredonia on the final weekend of the regular season.
Title: Re: SUNYAC

Who will the ny regional consist of? In are: Cortland Sunyac, Manhattanville Skyline,
Liberty league representative (RPI, St. Lawrence or U of R) automatic bids right? Teams that have a good chance of getting in: Ithaca. Outside looking in: Brockport, Oneonta? If a 4 team regional takes place, Cortland, Manhattanville, Liberty league rep, and Ithaca? 5 team regional makes no sense. 6 team regional, bring in 2 outside teams, or add brockport and a out of region team. What will happen here? I think the best teams in the NY region are Cortland, Manhattanville, Ithaca, RPI or St lawrence, Brockport, Oneonta.
I think that would make a heck of a 6 team regional, not going to happen but would be a good regional.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 07, 2007, 12:01:49 PM
I think that the days of the 4 team regionals are gone...

Aren't they all at least 6 teams now?  With five of them being 7 teams.

A lot of what may or may not happen will be determined by what happens in the conference tournaments the next week.  If there are upsets then the chances are smaller... if all the favorites win, then there is a shot for someone to get in.

We shall see what happens...
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 07, 2007, 12:36:10 PM
I miss the days of the four-team regional. The last four-team regional took place in 2004 when Brockport went to the World Series. That year it was Brockport, Cortland, Ithaca and RPI. Brockport and RPI were Pool A selections, Ithaca a Pool B and Cortland a Pool C (one of the last).

Before that, 2001 was the only other four-team regional since the decade started. That year at Falcon Park you had Cortland, Ithaca, Old Westbury and RPI. Cortland defeated Ithaca to win the championship, its last prior to 2005.

This year right now out of New York it appears to be...Cortland, Ithaca, Manhattanville, RPI/UR/SLU. If RPI does not win the Liberty tournament, they have a shot at a Pool C. Not that I think they deserve it, but they're ranked second in the regional and from an outsiders view, have a good regional record - even though, from what we've seen, they've struggled. Assuming RPI wins, you'll have two out of region teams, one from the Mid-Atlantic and one from New England or two from New England. SLU and UR as previously discussed are probably not in contention. If LaRoche or Medaille win the AMCC tournament, I easily see of them coming to New York. Medaille would be the more logical since they're in Buffalo. LaRoche could go to the Mid-Atlantic or Mideast.

Barring any upsets in the LEC and NESCAC, it looks like a six-team regional. Last year, with two New England teams and two Liberty teams it bulged up to seven.

Field,

yes that is the prognosticaion from the crystal ball at d3baseball... I hope they are right, as they have Brockport in!!!   ;D

John,
I've spoken in support of the automatic qualifiers on other spaggs on this board, and still do support that as it gives inclusion to all schools for at least access to the tournament.  I am going to say this, but don't want it to be taken as school bashing as two of the players on this team are good friends and former team mates of my son, and I went to college with the head coach.  If Mediaille wins the Alleghany mountain tournament and gets that AQ adn plays in the NY regional, that will be tough to take for the three SUNYAC teams that didn't win the SUNYAC tournament... all three of them pretty easily defeated Medaille more then once this year... 

But hey, if it happens, that is the way it goes... and great for the MAVERICKS if it happens.  My other son goes there and playes volleyball!    :)

Just me thinking out loud...

Post by: Spree on May 07, 2007, 08:24:49 PM
Brockport's Mike Avery got screwed.  He should have been 1st Team All Conference.  He carried Brockport's offense all season.  He was their only consistent hitter all season long and should have been rewarded accordingly.

Theres no way Perogi from Oswego or Jansen from Fredonia should be on the 1st team over Avery.  Avery almost had more hits (54; which may be or is the school record) than Perioli had at bats (69).  Perioli only had 6 RBI all season.  Johnson only had 72 ABs in 18 starts.  Thats a joke.

If they are going by senority, thats pathetic.  Avery was one of the main reasons Brockport won as many games as they did.

The OF 1st Team all conference is a joke without Avery.

AND where is Maycock.  Are you kidding me???  HEs not even on first or 2nd team.  thats the biggest joke of them all.  I dont know how they make these selections.  Are they going just on SUNYAC numbers?  If they are thats a shame, because you left off two of the best kids in the conference.

These all conference teams arent even credible.
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: FranElia on May 08, 2007, 08:26:46 AM
Yes, the coaches look at "SUNYAC only" stats when they vote on the all-conference team. While I totally don't agree with that (the stats represent less than half of most teams' seasons, compared to about two-thirds for basketball), at least the stats are consistent for each team.

Despite his great season thus far, Dan Maycock batted in the .250 range (don't remember the exact number) in SUNYAC regular-season play. I think that's what cost him a spot on the All-SUNYAC team.

We could have a potential all american (maycock) that didn't make the all sunyac team? But I do agree with fran that all sunyac is based on what you do in conference and if the stats don't support it, he shouldn't of made it. If you look at what he did in the sunyac tournament, he probably should be on that team along with matt vitalone, but again idk what vitalone did in-conference either. anyway u slice it, all conference teams are very objective and there always are disputes who should be on and not be on them.

There is a link to the conference only stats on the SUNYAC baseball page.  Go to the stats link on the baseball page, then to the "statistics for conference only games", then to the "Individual overall stats"

http://sunyac.com/baseball/07stats/LGCONF.HTM#leagp.mlb

Vitalone hit .390 (41 Ab's, 2- 2B's and 6 RBI) and fielded .983 (58 chances)...


This is a good thing for anyone named, and congratulations to all of them.  There are some guys who an arguement could be made for... but this is a tough thing to do as you tend to look at how they played agasint your team, and it isn't always the same.

I hope you had a good summer.  I followed Rob on the NYCBL website.  It was interesting to watch how the standings would change almost daily.  I don't know if my son has decided yet if he will try to stay and play next summer in the NYCBL.  He is talking about possibly doing an internship somewhere, hopefully in the Rochester area.  The wife and I were in Rochester this past weekend to watch some intrasquad games, and also watch them play against Finger Lakes CC.

I'll probably spend more time next year watching games in Rochester, and will make it a definite point to be there for the UR/Brockport game.  I've got to go now and get ready to watch the Cubs.  With them, you never know, but since Lou has been here, they really look like a contending team.  I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, good to hear from you... it was an interesting summer.  A lot of good baseball...  Look forward to seeing you at a game.

Scuba,

Good to hear from you too... this dry board over the summer was hard to take.   :o

Avery did transfer from Brockport... not really sure why as he had a lot of friends, his GF is still there, and it was a very late decision...  But he did leave and its his business why he left.   To my knowledge he did go to Cortland, where his family is from... and his dad works... so that makes sense.  We wish him well... and will miss his mom and dad at the games.

There will be someone to play the innings and get the AB's.    He is a good player, but life goes on...  From what I've seen in the fall, Brockport will survive.  They look pretty good to me... with a lot of young pitching and new speed.

Anyone have any information from any of the fall scrimmages?

At Brockport, the green beat the white 2 games to 1.  White took the lead in each game, but green came back to win twice.  Retuning players all looked very good, and several of the new guys did very well.  Not too many surprises... but three very good baseball games.

Looks like the holes that were created from graduation have been filled... now they just need experience of a few games to feel comfortable with the new team mates so that the chemistry can take hold.

Anyone have anything on any other SUNYAC scrimmages?

I guess when people mention Rochester, they probably think of RIT first.  My son is a sophomore at the University of Rochester.

He did fairly well.  He was the everyday centerfielder, and was the leadoff hitter for most of the season.  He received Liberty League Rookie of The Week in April, Conference Honorable Mention for the season, lead the conference in fielding percentage (68 chances with 64 putouts, 3DP's and 1 assist), 8th in conference with 1.22 hits per game, .319 overall batting average, 44 hits, 5 doubles, 1 triple, 0 hr's, etc., etc.  I'm very proud of him, plus he did exceptionally well academically.

No problem!!  When ever I mention Rochester, anywhere, everyone thinks of RIT.

I don't normally spout-off about my son and what he does, on or off the field.  For him to play as a freshman was a big thrill for mom and me.  He works hard in what ever he does.  He's certainly not the biggest player you'll ever see, but he gives it his best all of the time.  I just hope he can repeat his accomplishments this coming season.

What position does your son play?  What year is he in?  You mentioned in a previous post that it had rained and you had five hours to drive back home.  Where is home?  Besides, I can relate.  Last April I drove out (9-1/2 hours) to watch my son play a weekend DH against RPI.  The one morning there wa sabout 2" of snow on the ground!!!  I still had a great time, and I'm going to do it again!!!!

the best thing I like is that he got back behind the dish! In his soph.
year he broke his elbow during warm-ups throwing down to second,
season over! Junior & senior year he played the infield. So for the last 4
years he did not catch, he played infield and outfield at Comm. College
also. So I am pretty happy that he is catching again  :D

I know Cortland has gotten in some pretty good transfer pitchers. Don't know the specific names but I was told that the pitching staff they have this yr could be overall better than last yr even with Dougher gone. Remember, Mattes RHP and Bilyck(sp) LHP are back after an injury and a yr sat out! Jweid and Tone are lights out lefties. That gives Cortland 3 very tough lefties that all run it up there near 90 with good stuff. Mattes has touched 93-94 and is there closer. There Lineup will again be very good 1-9 mixed with some speed, power and contact guys.
Cortland will be tough to beat once again in '08!
Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on November 05, 2007, 02:35:45 PM
Thanks for the update... I wondered if the two who sat out last year would be back.  Sometimes they don't come back after injuries...  my son played with Tone over the summer and he was very good until he stopped because of some soreness in his arm.  But I think he stopped as a precaution and it isn't anything...

Yes, until someone can unseat them they are always the team to beat...  but you still have to win the games on the field.  That is why everyone keeps showing up...

As for the lefties, with many teams being right handed dominant in the conference, being a lefty isn't as important as just being good pitchers.  It will come down to matchups and who is on their game on a specific date.  Every team has one or two pitchers who can win on a given day.

I would like to know the names of the new guys just from curiosity... but information is always good.   thanks....

I see a four or five team fight for the second spot, with a couple teams giving Cortland a run for the top spot... then once you are in the conferencd tournament anything can happen.  But won't know for sure until we see rosters and start playing games.  And there are always a couple of surprise players and games each year...

Hey Bob,
How is Tom McCormick doing at Brockport? He is a freshman SS from Utica and I coached him for about 4 yrs in American Legion with Adrean Post. Great kid and a very good SS. He should help brockports program immediately. Don't know if you have had a chance to meet him yet but he is a quality player and even better person!

Scuba,

Yes, I know who he is... before practice started he and my son hit together in the cages several times and Rob said he is a very nice kid.

From what I saw at the Saturday practices I was able to make, I liked him...    He looks very good on defense... Offensively, he will be a different type of contributor then Tim Wilson was in his last couple of years, but he did look good with the bat too.

Obviously I'm not the one who makes the decisions but I think he will be a valuable addition and be one of the guys (perhaps the guy) who fills the hole left by Tim Wilson's graduation.

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on November 13, 2007, 12:11:02 PM
IMO, It is hard to make the adjustment from high school pitching to college pitching.
A couple of reasons come to mind for this:
1. alot of the kids that go to good D-3 schools are arrogant and think they should be at UNC or Miami U.  For the most part they do have not a clue how good some of the pitchers are on their own D-3 team, let alone other teams. Almost every team has got a pretty good guy (experienced or hard throwing or great control)to run out there and get everybody out.
An example would be a 2007 freshman that had to go play against Cortland in a DH and they throw Dougher and Jweid. The kids got little chance because he has never seen guys as good as those(experience).

2. Most freshman don't play alot off the bat and lack the experience needed to make the adjustments to good pitching. With good pitchers, you might only get 1 good pitch per AB to hit and if you miss it or foul it off your at bat is wasted.

3. Freshman are freshman and they have alot on their plate. School, new freedom, girls everywhere and lastly baseball. Freshman are rarely ready to figure out how to juggle all this stuff.

As with anything, talent trumps alot of this. There are Freshman capable of leading there team in hitting, but thats got more to do with their natural ability being better than everyone else. Maybe 15-20% of freshman get significant playing time and most don't really contribute until maybe later in the season when they start to figure IT out.

I know there are bunch of freshman that contribute to their teams throughout the country, but the % of freshman that don't do squat their freshman year is way higher.

3. Freshman are freshman and they have alot on their plate. School, new freedom, girls everywhere and lastly baseball. Freshman are rarely ready to figure out how to juggle all this stuff.

The new experience (college) is a major adjustment for freshmen.  Just like they have to get use to a higher level on the baseball field, they have to get use to the higher level in the classroom.

Also there are a lot of freshmen who are recruited to replace a senior so they dont get the playing time that makes them better.

Scuba16 makes a good point that those with talent will get a chance.  I remember a story on the high school coach who had Peyton and then Eli Manning.  He still has a filing cabinet filled with plays that he cannot use since the mannings were not your average high school QB

scuba16......Jim Dixon......

Thank you for your responses!!  Your appraisals make sense.  Like I mentioned, I was curious.

You both mentioned in no certain terms that talent, playing time, academics and other distractions play a part in a freshmans ability to excel in their first year of college ball.  I totally agree that being organized, and also being able to manage ones time is extremely important, and most difficult.  I think the level of pitching though, in many respects, is comparable to high school.  Yes, the level is also better!  I know that doesn't seem to make much sense in what I am saying but if you think about it, you know what I mean.

You definitely have better pitching in college, and also better hitting.  I attribute that to those players who take extra time in the off-season working on strength, weight, speed, technique, etc. to be at the higher levels of their own particular game.  Could they play DI or DII?  Sure, but grades would be sacrficied.  I really think that the DIII player is best equiped for the future having experienced the difficulty of athletics, but more importantly, the difficulty of a higher education.

The thing about D-1 and D-3 in NY is this, There are 41 baseball playing D-3 schools in NY compared to 10 or 11 NY D-1 schools. That means alot of the kids that go on to play baseball in college will play D-3. Especially position players because NY D-1 schools give alot of there scholarship $ to pitchers, and u have to do that to be competitive with other D-1's.
That leaves little options for kids that want to play D-1 baseball.
Take the state of North Carolina, they have a ton of D-1's and only a handful of D-3's. Alot of the baseball players in NC that play college baseball play at the D-1 level, they have a greater chance because there are simply more D-1 schools and therefor more opportunity.
I think there are a ton of kids every yr in NY that could play D-1 in other states but NY baseball season is short and Coaches usaully try to recruit in-state as much as possible unless a kid is an absolute stud.

Boomer,  I think that in some cases some of the pitching can be compared to what you may see in the top HS pitchers.  There are teams where much of the pitching staff is like that... and on some teams you see that after you get down to the middle of the staff... on some teams it just isn't so as they are all top level guys.

That is what seperates the teams...  the depth and quality of pitching.  I feel as if the top teams in any region go at least 5 deep and the teams that move into the NCAA for the most part are deeper then that on the mound.  There are exceptions both ways...

But there are a lot of guys pitching who are starters for many teams that struggle against a good batting order.  Not bad pitchers from HS... but also, guys who just don't have the command of their pitches in the strike zone and get hurt becasue of it.

The conversation about hitting is interesting... and I think its the same with pitching.  You can be a great HS pitcher with an 85-86 MPH fastball or a good curve ball.... and throw the ball by all but one, maybe two, hitters in most HS lineups.  In College (even at D-III... well decsribed Scuba +1) even the guys who bat 8 or 9 in a lineup are the guys who hit 1, 3 & 4 in the HS lineups... and if you can't make pitches consistently they hit you.

The college pitcher has to be able to foucs and make pitches through out the enitre lineup agasint the top teams... and to at least 3-4 guys against even the weakest teams. 

It is interesting to think about it from both points of view... batters and pitchers... as they both have moved into a new level of play when they leave HS.

Post by: scuba16 on November 16, 2007, 12:59:10 PM
IMO, movement, change of speed and location are the keys as you progress levels in pitching. If you are not a guy that throws real hard in college, you had better have some movement, change speeds or your going to get ripped.
HS guys can get away with straight stuff and sometimes while i'm coaching a HS game you say to yourself, why can't we hit this guy throwing 75-80? The light usually goes on shortly afterward and I realize the kids got some movement, is changing speeds and is working the plate effectively.

Same thing happens in college, you'll read about a guy with great #'s and then you see him pich and wonder, how does this guy not get ripped, he's throwing 84? Then you watch for a few innings as this pitcher hits his spots, changes speeds, has great movement and commands his FB, CB and Change. He eats up hitters like its his job and everybody goes up there guessing cause this guy can deal and he knows what he is doing. Its a thing of beauty to watch a guy that can't throw hard get everybody out!

The bottom line is pitching, actual pitching, is all about:
1.making your delivery look the same on every pitch
2.make all your pitches look the same out of your hand
3.change speeds
4.have some movement
5.be able to put it where you want it, pitching to corners
6. throw all your pitches for strikes or balls when you need to

Yeah, like they say in real estate, "location, location, location."  I watched Jason Glushon from Emory (drafted, and now pitching in the minors) pitch against our kids in Florida.  He is not that big and not overpowering, but could he hit his spots and change speeds!  I don't think he even throws in the nineties.  I could be wrong. 

O.K., some of you will say that he pitched against Rochester.  You know quality pitching can beat hitters any day.  Our kids were hitting the ball on the ground and in the air, with the occasional hit mixed in, but our kids were hitting him, its just that he had them off-balance.  The sign of a pretty darned good pitcher.  The same was true when Rochester faced Giovanni from Union and Zongol from RPI.  Although I think Zongol throws in the ninities.  If you have a savy pitcher, chances are pretty good that the team he is facing is going to struggle.

I do believe that good hitters can and will hit good pitchers anyway, no matter if they are seasoned college players, or your freahman as we mentioned in an earlier posting.  Now, these hitters may not be able to pull-the-ball or go-deep, but I think that for them it is a great opportunity to practice their opposite field hitting or to focus on recognizing/hitting the off-speed pitches.  This is just my opinion.

Good Afternoon Fellow Posters,

My son played baseball at a SUNY school late 90's into 00's, i guess I am what you would call a casual observer of the SUNYACS. Now being retrired school teacher I hope to be able to more of a observer.
Was able to catch Oneonta vs. Brockport game at the tournament last year, while we were in town visting our nephew. Looking over the rosters and some of the stats from last year, looks like Cortland is going to do very well AGAIN this year. That pitching rotation looks devistating even with the loss of Dougher and Zgorzelski. Do any of the other school in conference have anything that matches up even close to that? Perennial rival Brockport looks down in the pitching department, loosing what looks to be there 1&2 in Dennstet and Scott. Oneonta loses Weber and Locke. Plattsburgh lost Dahlin. Anyone have any insight on New Paltz? Based on there record last year, it looks as though they may have overachieved a bit.

Looks to me like it could be a dogfight for the 2, 3 and 4 spot to get into the SUNYAC tournament.

Look forward to an interesting season filled with solid debating and sharing of information.

Title: Re: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on December 25, 2007, 11:24:45 AM
I want to echo Jim's sentiments...

Welcome to the boards baseballfan and bball14!

It looks like this season is going to be similar to the last few... with everyone gunning at Cortland fighting for a tournament birth.  Last season was interesting with the sturggle to get into the 4 team tournament, but it the end the same four teams as the two previous years qualified.

As baseball fan points out, everyone lost some pitching... the teams that emerge will be the ones who can replace the losses and have the team come together during the season. 

While Cortland did lose Dougher... they have a lot of quality depth returing.  The one thing that they will need to find on the mound is for someone to fill the role that Dougher was in.  They have a lot of quality pitching... so it is likely someone will step up.  Offensively they are still very strong... and they are once again the favorite.

Brockport did lose two guys who gave them many quality innings, but they do have pitching returning, with 3 guys with a lot of SUNYAC experience as starters returning in Maxwell, Mascari and Shannon... and have their top bull pen guys returning.  The key to the season will be how quickly some of the good young guys can get comfortable pitching to college lineups.  They lost a couple bats in the middle of their lineup, but look to to once again be a strong offensive team as they have some returning guys who will post much bigger numbers with more AB's and have added a lot of speed and quality contact with several new comers.

Looking at losses from last years rosters it looks to me like Oneonta needs to replace the most pitching... but they've lost top guys each of the last few years and have always had strong pitching... Coach Ferchen always seems to come up with a couple of very good new additions.  they will need to lean on Ackerman for big innings and Connors and Juedes will need to step up too.  And they have a big bat that can hurt you at anytime in Martino.  And hopefully for Brockports sake Bedosky has lost his glove...  :D  Great catch to end BP's season last year!

Plattsburgh did lose Dahlin, but they still have Matt Kelly who can beat anyone on any given day.  They have a lot of depth returning from last years staff...  and with the way Coach Doorey uses his staff look like they really didn't lose much pitching from last year.  With Kelly stepping into the ace role in place of Dahlin and either Gent or Painter stepping into the #2 spot.  They have 6 guys who could increase their innings and give them solid pitching (Van Houtten, Davis, Tracy and Murphy are the others...).  And they are always tough with the bat... with Hughes, Welch and Kowalowski.

I didn't intend to do a breakdown when I started typing... but guess I have to finish... :)

After these four (who have made up the tournament field for the last 5 years...) there are three other teams that are looking to crash the conference party.

I look for New Paltz to once again be improved in coach Griffiths second year.  the key to their season may be who will replace the bat of DeKams...  Potter will need to repeat (and improve on) his pitching numbers from last year, and Donohue will need to rebound to from a tough year on the mound.  After that they will need for a couple of young guys to step up to give them quality innings to be able to break into the top four.

Oswego will need to replace DeSantis on the mound and Farrell and Peroli in their order... but they are always a tough game.  They wil still have Herandza and White on the mound and their lineup can put up runs.   They were a funny team last year as they beat both Brockport and Oneonta twice... they just need to be more consistent against conference teams and they could be at the tournament.

Fredonia has improved each of the last two years... and will most likely continue to do so.  They found a big bat last year in Malaney and have some others who look like they are ready to break out this year...  however, the loss of Huard will hurt them on the mound.  They need to find more pitching depth to be successful... if they do they could be a surpirse.

As I said, I didn't meant to write a review... but....

Happy Holidays to everyone involved in SUNYAC baseball!!!

Post by: baseballfan24296 on December 25, 2007, 12:39:47 PM
Was able to sneak away from the presents and the Christmas story marathon on TBS to check some things out

I like to concentrate on pitching because to me it seems to be the most important aspect of the game.

Cortland
Will probably have the best staff out of any of the SUNYAC teams and has to be favored to once again represent the NY Region in Wisconsin. Jweid, Tone, Mattes, Bilyk, Serio, Hooper, Baker and Hauck look to be as tough as any staff in the country. Plus i am sure it is safe to assume that Coach Brown did not sit back and rest during recruting

Plattsburgh
To me this staff looks to be in the best shape other than Cortland. Kelley has number one potential and Gent and Painter look like they could settle in nicely behind him at the 2 and 3. Plus as Bob added they still have Van Houtten, Davis, Tracy and Murphy, to fill in behind them. Could it be more than just 0-2 and a BBQ for Plattsburgh this year in the tournament? This looks to be their best chance.

Oneonta
They were able to successfully move on without Salamida last year, it did help have Weber and Locke to fall back on. But who do they fall back on now? Weber, Locke and Lawrence are all gone. Juedes is going to need to step up and have a monster year for the Red Dragons.

Brockport
Of all the perennial powers they to me seem to be in the most trouble. With all due respect to Bob, I just don't see it in their returning guys. Shannon had a terrible year numbers wise following his ROY performance two years ago. Mascari's numbers look deceiving as he did not really pitch against any quality opponents until SUNYAC's. Maxwell's numbers ballooned towards the end of the season after an impressive start. This staff looks suspect at best if you ask me. They look like they will be throwing a ton of freshman out on the field.Couple this with a new coach, could equal problems for Brockport.

New Paltz
I guess you could call them my sleeper team. Looking at the numbers, I would match this staff's #1 with just about anyones. It looks to me that Potter is that good. Add Potter to Donahue and Shanks, you have a very formidable staff that can get SUNYAC wins.

Well i can no longer avoid the christmas story marathon, I would love to sit and talk shop all day here but it is christmas.

This question is for Bob. Is the rest of brockport's coaching staff still in tact if not who has replaced them? Just seeing if i recognize any of the new names

Enjoy the holidays, spring training is right around the corner!!!!

Post by: sunyacguru on December 25, 2007, 05:03:47 PM
New to the board, got a chance to watch alot of sunyac games last year and was very impressed with the baseball i saw. Just going to throw out some p.o.v's on some teams.

Cortland is going to be tough!!!! Everyone is always gunning for this team and they will be again. They lost some pitching but jweid and tone have some amazing talent and everyone knows coach brown will have pitching depth on his roster. And their offense will be solid as always. Zaccardo will repeat as player of the year and most likely find himself in the league after hes done at college. I got them finishing in first

I got Plattsburgh in second this year after they ties for it last year losing the tiebreaker with brockport for the 2nd seed in the tourny. Kelly can pitch, i saw him against oneonta and oswego, two of his three cg shutouts last season. He has potential to shut down any team on any givin day (including cortland). Now the problem is with the rest of their pitching, gent and painter i dont think can step up to fill the 2 and 3 roles, painter seems to be a reliever and gent didnt have same numbers last year as the year before.  Plattsburghs offense has potential to explode, they are going to have up to 4 lefties in the middle of the lineup, hughes,kowalowski,curcio,merola, doorey will have a field day arranging those bats in the middle probably mixing kelly in their to break them up. Could be a real tough team

Ready for a change? I got New platz in 3rd, a team on the uprise and you could see it last year. The potter kid is a solid solid number 1, he can go out and beat any team on any giving day. If they develop a solid number 2 and 3 they can be a force in the sunyac's taking over the posistion of oneonta and brockport from the past 5 years. They also will need a little more offensive output from some key bats. If they can get some run support for their top 3 then their pitchers can cruise through relying on their defense and coaching. Their coach in his second year has improved their program very much and i look forward to watching them compete against top sunyac comp.


Now this is where i get puzzled. Im going to say brockport in 4th but with a little hesitation. i really dont know much about who they have coming in for pitching but they need some. The guys they have left have not done enough to prove themselves in sunyac comp. I put them 4th because of their offense. They still have enough bats even with the loss of avery to make some noise and score runs. I see this team being a very small ball, defensivly sound team winning games 3-2, 4-2 and so on.

I really dont know much about who oneonta has coming in, i know the ackerman kid is good but you cant rely on one pitcher for all season. They still got some bats but if they get 6 or 7 put up on them in games they wont win. But as i said i really dont know much about the oneonta pitching.



look forward to continued disscussion with ya'll cant wait for the season to start. Anyone know where teams are headin this spring?

sunyacguru, welcome to the board...

baseballfan, Coach Mees is back in an expaneded roll as the #1 assistant... Coach Waite is now at Hilbert as the recruiting coordinator for the whole athletic program.  Jake Dennstedt is working in the capacity of pitching coach.  Not sure if they will add anyone else or not...

It's really great to see a couple of posts about the teams where you share your insights into each of the teams and players on them.   Thanks for sharing your opinions...  So you know, I didn't put the teams in any order of prediction just as they popped into my head.  Not sure I could do that.. as there are so many unknowns at this point.

It is going to be really tough to call 2 through 7 this year... Once they start the games it will shake its self out as it always does.  I wonder if it will take until the final weekend (like it did last year) again this year?  I hope so... that was exciting!

I think the SUNYAC has developed and is a very highly competative league now, and is at least 5 or 6 deep who can compete with most teams.  I would love to see them work together and do something like what the Big East and ACC did in basketball agasint another conference each year (both in side and outside the region... )  Where the first - last from the previous year play each other. 

Also, neither of you mentioned Oswego... what do you think about them?  They were up and down a lot last year, but should be in the mix again this year.

I can't wait for the teams to be out on the field... and I'm sure when that happens that we will see several surprises as we usually do.

Title: Re: SUNYAC

With this being the SUNAYC board, I support your though on the SUNYAC champions ( who ever it is...   ;D ) representing the NY region in Wisconsin in May.  And will be rooting for whoever it is to win the Regional...  But I wouldn't over look Ithaca to quickly as they look to have a lot of pitching that may serve them weel in a regional tournament.  Also, the NCAA likes to stick a team from New England in the mix too...

I wonder if the changes in conference affiliations will impact that at all? 


Guess thats the overcautious old coach in me coming out... GO SUNYAC!!!

Brockport lost 8 starters but return 6.  They are Matt Beach,  OF; Mike Meola, 2B; Brent Nicholson, OF; Mark Caruana, OF; Rob Maxwell, 1B/P; Jared Perham, 3B/P.  Four starting pitchers return:  Tim Mascari, Jason Shannon, Maxwell, and Perham.   Jason Michaels, 2B; Ray Gizzi, P are transferrign to Brockport.   Catchers Jos Zaccardo and Bobby Warne were injured last year and will return.

The will miss Tim Wilson and Jake Dennstedt.  Wilson to be replaced by Tim McCormick

The new head coach is Justin Beach who was promoted from his assistant position after Mark Rowland stepped down as head coach to concentrate on his duties as Assistant AD.

Post by: NYBaseball on December 31, 2007, 06:59:37 PM
Looks like its going to be another interesting year in the Sunyac conference.....but i can't see anyone not named Cortland winning it this year

Cortland returns plenty of offense in SUNYAC POY Mike Zaccardo and has the pitching to go with it....but if there is one concern it will be they don't have that shutdown ace.....jweid and tone are as good as they come but will they be able to do it on the big stage

Plattsburgh should be right behind them.....they have a formidable offense with the likes of hughes, kowalowski, and welch who is one of the most underrated players in the conference.  Kelly should anchor a solid pitching staff, but the question will be who fills in the spots behind him.  I agree with Sunyac guru that gent and painter aren't capable of doing this.  If they surprise, look out for Plattsburgh. This team will definately put together some wins in 08' but they will have to get over the fact they havent won a conference tourney game.  Until they do so, i dont know if they are a serious contender

Oneonta looks to finish in the 3rd spot with a solid core lineup returning with Holmes,Meyers,Randall,and Martino one of the better players in the conference heading that group.  Pitching will be the key to how far this team can go.  Ackerman returns and should be the ace of the staff, Juedes put up solid numbers 2 yrs ago as a freshman and should see more quality innings this season.  After that though there is a lot of question marks.

Brockport will be looking to replace a lot of offense from the looks of it, Nicholson and Caruana are two of the key returners.  The Pitching staff has a lot of questions as well.  Maxwell, Mascari and former rookie of yr Shannon will look to anchor the staff.

NewPaltz should continue to build on there sucess from last season.  Potter may be the best pitcher in the conference, but after that there needs to be more consistency.  The offense will have to replace Dekams bat, but look to have some quality guys ready to step in.  If they can do this look for them to contend for a sunyac tourney spot.

I don't think anybody beats cortland in sunyac play. When they can run out 3 lefties like jweid, tone and bilyck in a double dip or 3 game set, i don't see anyone coming close! Add Mattes to close,  along with Serio, Hooper, Baker, Hauck and they always have a sleeper or get a stud transfer or 2 and that = one of the best staffs in the country again! The lineup will be very good again with a ton of returners including zaccardo, coromato, gardener, vitalone, devito, caughey, giametta, and merriweather. Looks bright again in '08 for c-state returning to wisconsin. Love to hear what everyone else thinks.

I've been off the boards for awhile... its great to see so many informed opinions and  new fresh posters on the board!

Thanks to all for the interesting reading...
;D

Jim, it is Tom McCormick, not Tim.  Scuba knows him and I think he said he coached him for a year in legion ball.

Also, when you tell "pitcher 21" to see the SUNY AC board, did you mean this one?

I would recommend to pitcher 21 to contact the coaches and AD's at both schools to get details of the programs.  But to give him my opinion... Brockport has been one of the top teams in the SUNYAC for the last 4 years, and has been on the fringe of the national picture for that same time frame... they have been competative but have not been able to put together a real strong top shelf winning season since 2004... they win some big games and then drop some they shouldn't lose which hurts the impact of the big wins.  They are a solid program with good athletes in it... and are to be respected when played.  Fredonia is a program that has toiled in the middle and bottom of the conference for a while... my opinion is that they are improving annually and are on the verge of breaking into the top teams in the conference and getting to a tournament.  They are a tough game when you play them and have shown the ability to beat some of the top teams annually... they have some good athletes and complete hard all the time.

But all the SUNYAC schools are still trying to catch Cortland.

Bob, I coached Tom for 4 yrs on Adrean Post. Excellent player, tough as nails but may struggle with the bat a little until he gets accustomed to college pitching. Great kid and a hard worker!

Speaking of trying to catch Cortland, I hear C-State got in some serious transfers for this spring. The Dimino kid from and his brother, supposed to be 2 studs from Finger Lakes CC, the Avery kid from brockport, who will man CF this yr, a 6'3 RHP from Farleigh Dickinson who runs it up there in the 90's named Blanco. Adding those kids to the returning players may give C-State its best chance to date at a National Championship in 2008!

Junior Joe Curcio, 1B/DH, a transfer from Schenectady CC, will probably start.  With Kyle Kowalowski, (Jr., 1B/DH) and Todd Hughes (Sr., DH/1B) also returning and two outfield slots open Someone needs a new position.  All evidence points to Hughes moving to the outfield.

Cortland also has a transfer from Siena by the name of JJ Potrikus. He played for Hornell in the New York Collegiate Baseball League last summer and was listed on the Dodgers roster as playing for Cortland State.

Potrikus pitched for Siena last spring and had a double-digit ERA in nine appearances as a sophomore. As a freshmen, he was 2-0 with a 7.08 ERA and he tossed five strong innings in Siena's upset win over Tennessee.

He's originally from CNS and is part of a strong line of Northstars starters including LeMoyne's Brandon Otto and Canisius' Bryan Smith.

Looks like C-State just may have put together the best pitching staff that the NY region has ever seen! At least 5-6 guys that run it up in the 90's. Mattes the closer tops at 93-94. Jweid, Tone, Bilyck, Serio, Blanco, Heaton etc.. This spells trouble for all that have to compete with Cortland State in '08!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 09, 2008, 11:23:24 AM
I'm excited to see how the SUNYAC will shake out.  I don't think there's any doubt Cortland is the favorite with what they have returning and the additions they made through recruiting and transfer help.  I for one, am very hesitant to crown anyone based upon what a team has on paper but I have to say that Cortland should be just as good if not better than last year. 

Getting Mattes, Bilyk and Carney back is huge and it's a shame they weren't able to help Cortland in their pursuit of last year's title.  They may have lost one of the best arms in DIII in Dougher but the addition of the three previously mentioned arms, a few transfers and some talented freshman should make this one of the most talented staffs in the country on paper.   

They obviously must prove it on the field but I am looking forward to seeing if this is the year Cortland can finally get that title that they deserve.  I'm sure Coach Brown and his staff will have this team well-prepared and ready to compete against what looks to be a very challenging schedule.  Love to see good teams play a strong schedule.  Looking at Brockport's schedule, they too look like they play some very good teams out of conference and I wish them the best of luck in representing the SUNYAC.  It will be interesting to see how the coaching change will impact their season.

I llike Starvin Marvin's comment about the conference and Cortland... and agree with it.

You have to say that based on the non-conference schedule that Cortland is playing (especially on their spring trip) that they are really making a statement... congrats to them for putting together what may be the toughest schedule in D-III this year (based on teams past performances...).

And if the five transfers mentioned here play to their potential they will be just as tough as they always are...  but I am still pulling for Brockport!

Go EAGLES!!!

Hopefully the SUNYAC season will be as entertaining as last years... When you never knew what was going to happen from weekend to weekend.

John, nice to hear from you again!

i asked it earlier in the forum but it seems people were not as attentive to the board as they are now. Is it true that once sunyit drops out that sunyac is changing to a different weekend format? is it 9,7,7?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 14, 2008, 03:10:48 PM
Guru,

I recall hearing in early December that for the 2009 season the SUNYAC would be eliminating the post season tournament.  I don't recall the exact details about the in season schedule, but think that the format was to play 3 games against each (over two days) of the other 6 teams.  But that would fit the scenario of the elimination of the post season tournament...  as it would take 6 weekends to play each team once (3 games).  In its present format, the seasont takes 6 weeks - four weekends for the games, with a off for makeups and then the tournament weekend.

Personally, I like playing each team 3 times... but think that doing it at the expense of the post season tournament is a BIG mistake and can't imagine why any school (other then Cortland) would vote to eliminate it.  I like the three games against eact team on the same weekend, because it puts everyone on equal footing as to what pitchers they face... every team will throw the same three top starters against all the teams.  As it is now, it doesn't always shake out equally as one team usually gets the top two and the other gets #'s 3 & 4.  Which puts teams on different footing when post season comes around... A team could win 5 or 6 games and not face anyones top two pitchers.

I see the post season tournament is a BIG plus as it keeps more teams "interested" for the duration of the season...  with out it, lose a few games early and you are just playing out the string with little to no hope of winning the conference championship.  If this format is put into place, look for the ECAC to be made up of 3 or 4 SUNYAC teams every year... with that tournament being a stepping stone towards a Pool C bid for a second SUNYAC team.

It will be interesting to see what happens... if it is put in place.  Perhaps the ECAC becomes a bigger tournament becuase it now most likely has an NCAA Pool C bid up for grabs... it worked for St John Fisher last year.

BUT with no conference post season tournament will that change the ECAC status of games counting against the 40 game limit?  I don't think it will... so now teams will have to play only 35 games if they want to play in the ECAC tournament...

18 conference games
9 on a spring trip (maybe fewer games now...)
5 have to be kept free for ECAC....
that leaves 3 games against non-conference teams (more if you play fewer on the spring trip...)
So teams could end up only scheduling 35 games...

Seems like a step backwards making teams play fewer games outside of the conference... but hey what do I know.

What do others think about this?

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 14, 2008, 03:14:28 PM

Post by: sunyacguru on January 14, 2008, 08:57:46 PM
I personally am a fan of the SUNYAC tournament. I think its a great showcase of the top teams in the conference. I can see where this new format could be un-beneficial 
for some teams that lack a back end of a rotation. And i completely agree with Bob when he said that more sunyac teams would enter into the ecac tournament. Teams will do anything to get a bid into the ncaa's. It would be interesting to see the new format and how it would play out.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 14, 2008, 11:10:16 PM
ECAC's are going back to how they use to be or possible some type of spring trip format.......so after this year they wont be used as a sort of play in tourney. 

Not having a SUNYAC tourney would be a mistake.....it allows everyone to have something to play for all year even though Cortland usually wins it anyways. 

Plattsburgh's lineup should be pretty good....but unless they brought in some pitching, they will be no better than they've been in the past. When it comes down to it pitching and defense wins games.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 15, 2008, 12:48:29 PM
I am not positive this is what is going to happen... but I did hear something about it in December...

And as I said, I really like the idea of playing a 3 game series against each team...  but not at the expense of eliminating the post season tournament.  A 3 game series with a post season tournament would only take 7 weeks... and that 7th week could be found by either: 1) moving the start of conference play up a week - which would mean fighting the cold weather and wet field conditions; or 2) by moving the conference tournament back a week - but I have to give BIG cudous to the SUNYAC for NOT playing their post season championships on graduation weekend.  That is a BIG thing to me as it is a celebration of what going to college is about and everyone should attend it... so that is not an option from the conference point of view.

So I put out an alternative... could they possibley play some of the conference games on Wednesday afternoons?  Obvioulsy Fredonia v Plattsburgh would need to be played on a weekend... but many of the ohter matchups could be done on a week day for a single game. And as a DH if need be to make up games...  It would take just a little creative scheduling.


Intereting about the ECAC's... so they would not be a post season tournament any more?  That is too bad if the SUNYAC eliminates its post season...

I hope it doesn't happen... as the tournament is exciting and brings many of the teams, coaches and fans together at the same time.  I would think that would be exciting for everyone and a BIG plus for the conference...  I would like to see more made of the conference tournament then just more games.  Not eliminate it...

but just my two cents....

Post by: sunyacguru on January 15, 2008, 03:43:23 PM
I know from last year plattsburgh will have welch, campbell, hughes, kowalowski, kelley, and jarvis returning for their lineup. They also got a transfer from SCC Joe curcio another lefty who i believe is takin hughes spot at first place. My guess being he cant play anywhere else but first and hughes is versatile enough to go to OF. The 
other two spots i believe they would be RF and either 2nd base or catcher will either be filled by humphrey or some freshman that coach doorey brought in. Not very knowledgeable about the p-burgh freshman though. But those other 7 already seem to be a fairly potent lineup in my opinion. Not quite cortland strength but prolly 2nd to them in the sunyac.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: sunyacguru on January 16, 2008, 03:38:47 PM

Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 20, 2008, 11:33:24 AM
It appears that IF there isn't a conference tournament, that the ECAC tournament can be exempt from counting against the 40 game limit as it can be declared as the end of season tournament that gets that exemption. 

I wasn't sure about that when I made the previous post... thanks for the clarification. 

However, even with that being the case... I still can't imagine why any school in the conference (other the Cortland) would vote to eliminate the conference tournament.  And I only single out Cortland becasue of their present status as the perenial top team... not to create any adversarial position.  Who knows what the power structure in the conference will be in a year or two?


Guru, I ahve no first hand knowledge of their pithcers, but looking at last years stats they have guys who have thown a lot of collegiate innings, who will all need to take a big step forward if they are to move up and crack the top 4....  Donohue is one who could do that if he returns to his 2006 form.  If that happens they will be in the mix.  And as you say, Potter can hold anyone down on any day...  In addtion they have several freshman pitchers.  It doesn't happen to often, but if one of them adjusts to pitchign in college quickly they will be interesting to watch.  My opinion is they are on the way up and will be in the mix for the tourament.

  Cortland opens Feb. 22 at NC Wesleyan, plays the next day at Randolph-Macon (VA) vs. R-M and Rowan, and faces Mary Washongton (VA) the 24th. Other N-L dates with Montclair, IC, Susquehanna, Old Westbury, Manhattanville, Mt. St. Vince, St. Joes (NY), Caz and Hamilton

I've never posted here before, but have enjoyed reading up on some of the preseason thoughts.  As a Cortland fan, I personally wanted to thank Scuba16 for throwing the old Kibosh on the Red Dragons before they even get going.

From reading some of the previous posts, it almost looks like Scuba16 has coached or even played before, which makes this type of pre-emptive jinxing all the harder to believe.  I really hope that C St. is good this year because on top of having every team in the region gunning for them, now they've been cursed. 

In all seriousness, it should be a good year for upstate baseball.  Dragons are the team to beat, but the SUNYAC seems to be getting better every year.  It's also good to see Cortland's early non conference schedule.  Love em or hate em, they're not afraid to play anybody.

Viper, what are the bigger problems? 

Sorry my humor is so subtle.  "Best chance to date to win the NC in 2008."  See, that is a funny statement because Cortland has never had a chance to win the 2008 National Championship.  The NCAA only awards the 2008 National Championship at the end of the 2008 season.  If you look, the same is true for 2007, 2006, 2005, etc.  In fact, without looking it up, I would venture a bet that no one has had the chance to win the National Championship in a specific year until that specific year actually began.  Although, things were pretty crazy during WWII.  Maybe the NCAA gave out the 1943 National Championship at the end of the 1942 season.  I am not sure.  I could go on but further explanation would require charts and an easel.

Just to be clear, I was never the SID.  I just worked in the office while I was a student.  Also, to the extent you are implying that I am still working in sports in Florida, I'd like to clear the record.  My last year in Major League Baseball was 2006 when I began practicing law.  Not sure if you thought all of this was a secret or not.

Do you and I know each other?  Are you a former Bomber or a former C-State baseball player?  Did you happen to play ball with my cousin?

Viper,  this comment just wreaks of Bomber.  All I've got to say is that I'm a big ND Irish fan, and if the shelf life on their 1988 Championship is up, so is yours.  I think that IC should be pretty good this year.  Plus, it would hilarious if they did make the World Series this year and showed up in Battle Creek, MI out of habit.

And the season has begun. 

Hopefully, all this banter means that people will have a better sense of humor than last spring.  (I vaguely remember the baseball boards being fairly heated at some points).

I was thinking I might take the high road the rest of the spring and then you go and post this:

There is a good state skewl joke in there somewhere.

As for the championship going stale, you're probably right.  In fact, we had to kind of bunch all the NC trophies up in the trophy case to make room for the Cortaca Jugs.  It is really a problem on South Hill.  During the trophy case meeting I suggested we drive down to Cortland for some ideas.  I mean, you guys fit all those participation ribbons from the CWS so neatly that I thought we could get some tips for these:

In all seriousness though, I am really looking forward to 2008.  The end of 2007 was one of the lowest points for Bomber fans in the history of the rivalry.

Ok Viper, so I may have used the wrong phrasing for the term "reek".  I try to make up for that by hanging out with people that won't know the difference.  Nice picture.  I think that those 3 in the middle were from when Moses was your captain.  Nice to see you keeping them around.   I'm all for keeping it civil in here.  08 should give us plenty to talk about once the season gets started.

Pretty confident words chief..

I have a long drive to see their games this year, i was trying to cherry pick some to watch that are non conference.

NCWC, you're the one who asked how good they might be and who to watch for.  I was merely telling you about two aspects of their game, their catching and a couple of their pitchers.  You're the one who's assuming I meant a no-hitter and no runners on base.  I'm sure it will be a very competitive and close game as Wesleyan is a tough task for any team.  Very confident words my friend, enjoy the game!

NCWC, I'll be jealous if you can make it to the game as I wish I was able to travel down to see it but work calls unfortunately.  Should be a treat for those in attendance.  I see Wesleyan will have eight games under their belt before they play Cortland which should make for a bit of an advantage but nonetheless, no excuses.

I played against Cortland a few times and always liked their style, which made me curious of their team, I knew Zaccardo's name, but was unclear on those two southpaws.  I briefly went over the roster and it looked like they had more than two guys.  I wanted to make sure I was getting the real deal even though admission is free.  Good luck to Cortland through the season.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 23, 2008, 10:00:33 PM
I go to as many Cortland games as I can and I know they have two very, very talented arms coming back this year who were injured and unavailable last year along with a couple of transfers and freshman aside from returners.  Objectively speaking, I cannot imagine a team with more depth and talent in the country.  They have ten legitimate arms and throw in another 3 to 5 arms that will contribute.  Obviously they will have a target on their back even more so than previous years because of rankings but this is the most talented team on paper that Cortland has ever had in my opinion.  Overall, a very, very solid team.    A fun team to watch play no doubt about it.  Best of luck to Wesleyan and safe travels in your attempt to watch them play.  I'd like to hear your thoughts on the game if you get a chance to see it when they face off in late Feb. I believe it is.

NCWC....I apologize for my earlier posts, didn't mean to be disrespectful to the NCWesleyan program or to you yourself.  I just get pumped up when I think of the Cortland's chances this year and can't wait to see some ball!  Best of luck to NCWesleyan this year in their attempt to make it to Appleton!

Cortland is going to be a contender for this year, very strong in pitching and they just got great hitters to join the squad....it will be an exciting year for them...here is a look at some players to look out for this year!

Anderson Gardner
Mike Zaccardo obviously!
Matt Tone
Mike Avery- transfer
Nick Palmiero- transfer
George Jweid
Adam Dimino who transfered from Lemoyne
Kyhle Dimino- transfer
Nick Blanco- transfer
Steve Nickel

Those guys hould have good years!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 25, 2008, 10:34:25 PM
Banalyst Cortland is always a contender.....a lot of depth on the pitching staff, but no true ace like dougher may be a problem late in the season unless someone can step up.  All pretty solid recruits, but last time i checked only 9 guys can play at once. 

You mention all these guys but fail to mention arguably 3 of C-State better players.  Vitalone will start at ss and most likely hit in the 3 spot. Russo will be starting at 2b and Coromato will be in one of the OF spots.....so its nice they got all these guys

It'll be interesting to see whose in the lineup when the season starts and gets the at-bats.....its only common sense that someone will be the odd man out. I guess its a good problem to have if your Coach Brown

It's going to be hard for palmiero, and the the dimino brothers to even crack the lineup with all the depth corltand has returning
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pudge27 on January 26, 2008, 10:31:46 AM
NYBaseball--You make a good point about only 9 guys on the field at once.  A point that needs to be made is that in my opinion, the thing that sets Cortland apart from the rest of the NY Region is their depth more than their talent.  Don't get me wrong, they're very talented and their top line pitchers are very good.  But take a look at how many times Cortland has actually lost early in the Regionals and just picks other teams off on their way back through.  They've also done similar things in the CWS, although never made it all the way back.  Aside from ECSU a couple of years ago, I don't remember another team doing that in the NY Regional. 

Cortland has always made sure that guys that can play, get time and their ready to go when it counts.  And if you're a NY team that is going to have to rely on your 3, 4, or 5 pitcher to got against Cortland's pitching depth, just forget about it.  I'm sure that there's teams across the country with that depth, but year in, year out, I think that's the biggest difference between Cortland and everyone else in NY.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: banalyst on January 26, 2008, 06:26:17 PM
pudge27 i know what you meen about the 9 guys on the field....that doesn't meen that those guys are going to have good years....where there is talent....it should be able to get a crack at the lineup...coach brown didn't bring good tranfers in who already have experience to sit the bench.....they will do fine!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 26, 2008, 08:17:41 PM
i dont know about that banalyst.....you tell me where any of those transfers are gonna see consistent playing time.  Just about everyone of those guys will be lucky to see a spot start and some pinch hit at-bats.  Coach Brown trys to stock-pile as much talent as possible, and just because they have experience means nothing. 

This will be one of cortlands deepest teams theyv'e ever had.  Its only a proven fact that someone is going to be the odd man out.  Like i said before only 9 guys can play. 

Zaccardo C, Devito/Giametta 1b, Russo 2b, Vitalone SS, Nickel 3b, Coromato LF, Avery CF, Gardner DH......so that leaves RF for Caughey/Simone/the Dimino brothers.

basically anyone that came in will have trouble cracking the lineup, but like i said its a nice problem to have.....just can't see kids like Palmiero, or the Dimino brothers see consistent playing time. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 27, 2008, 07:24:16 AM
Let me start by saying that I think Cortland is the favorite in both the SUNYAC and NY Region...  they are the team that everyone is chasing at this paper part of the season.

Yes, they have a lot of talent on paper... and most likely it will be on the field as well.  The point about only 9 guys playing is true... However, I don't think the depth is a problem at all.  They all will play... some will have good years and some won't.  But they all will play...  The "regular" season is the tryout for the post season... With the exception of a couple of key spots (I'm guessing SS and Catcher) the lineup will change daily with everyone getting their AB's and innings played.

BUT... the games still need to be played on the field.  So what is on paper has to transfer daily to the field.

I think the interesting parts of the season for this team are:
1) who will emerge from the pack to be the top coupld of pitchers.  yes they have several good ones.... but no one who has been the go to guy in college (yet). 

2) with all the playing time being split, a key will be to keep everyone happy through out the season.  Winning is a big part of that... so it may be true that it happens all year long, but a speed bump some where could be something that causes some hard feelings some where along the line...

We will see...

I think it is starting to warm up... its 25 out today!  Baseball must be almost here...
;D
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 27, 2008, 09:28:10 AM
Bob, you hit several of my key points.  Cortland has a lot of depth and more than they've probably ever had before.  My point is that i just don't see many of those new guys getting any consistent at-bats to really be effective.  It's hard to produce when you don't know if your going to be in the lineup everyday.

I agree guys will get their opportunities....but it just may only be a handful of spot starts and pinch hit at-bats during games that Cortland is beating up on someone. You mention SS not changing and that was my point.  Vitalone will be at SS meaning Palmiero will not be seeing the field, looks like hes along for the ride to Appelton ;) 

Winning will keep guys happy, which i see C-state doing a lot of, and they should be tested playing one of the best schedules in the country
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 27, 2008, 01:54:58 PM
Not having a "go to guy" has no bearing on the success of Cortland this season.  Jim Dougher was the "go to guy" and he started four of the seven games Cortland lost and two of them were in the post-season.  He pitched 10 plus innnings in two of those losses but wasn't given any run support.  One was against Trinity and the other against Kean.  Even though he took the loss in both games, those two outings were probably the best of his collegiate career.  So the notion that no "go to guy" has been established is just the only thing anyone can come up with as a potential weakness.  George Jweid is 15-1 in his college career after two years.  He's pitched in some pretty big ball games in his career thus far and does have a World Series win under his belt.  Arms like Dougher don't come along very often so it's hard for anyone to live up to his standards but does anyone else in the region have a World Series win under their belt?  In my opinion, George Jweid is the best "go to guy" in the region because he's won a bigger ball game on the hill than anyone else in the region aside from Ryan Hooper who had a win his freshman year against Wooster to get Cortland into the national championship game.  For a freshman to win a game of that magnitude is outstanding and I wouldn't want anyone else on the mound than that young man after doing what he did.  He and Jweid have proven it in bigger ball games than any other pitcher on a non-Cortland staff.  So until someone else in the region pitches in a World Series game, I don't know how you can say that Cortland doesn't have a "go to guy".  You're right, they don't have one "go to" guy, they have a go to staff and that's why they win.

Post by: scuba16 on January 27, 2008, 10:29:38 PM
You may as well add Jason Simone and Paul Merriweather into the mix at Cortland for PT too, Simone was the AA POY in NYS and can flat out rake. Merriweather is a proven kid that will probably platoon at 3rd base. Caughey is not on the team anymore, I think he flunked out of school? Go to guy on the mound is Jweid. Kid has proven he is lights out when the pressure is on but there will be a bunch of guys on this staff that can go out and spin a gem when you need it!
Bottom line for this team is you hit, you play. Most of the guys on this team are solid defensively so when you slump at the plate you'll probably sit. IMO, great problem to have if you are the coach. 1. Creates competition during practice = everyone is working hard if you want to play.
2. Being tired at the end of the of a long yr is non existent, alot of guy have logged innings. 3. Injuries aren't quite as devastating. 4. Gives a coach options!
As far as certain guys just being along for the ride, I disagree, over a long season roles will be defined and TEAM PLAYERS will learn and accept their role for the betterment of the team. I think you'll see alot of different guys getting it done for Cortland in '08, this team is too deep not to get everyone some innings over the 45 or so games!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 27, 2008, 11:55:05 PM
Scuba your right simone will be in the mix.....as i mentioned in a previous post.....I agree there will be innings for everyone, just not consistent ones, and that may be tough producing when your not sure whether your going to play or not.

Merriweather is a prime example....the kid only had 76 at-bats last yr and only started 18 of their 45 gms.  Someone who definately could be playing everyday.  But hey guys have to except there roles for the betterment of the team
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 28, 2008, 09:42:54 AM
Some good points made yesterday...  I made the post I did to point out that when you are the favorite and have the depth that a top team usually has, that there are coaching issues that other teams don't have to deal with.

I don't think that anyone will argue with the probablility that even if Cortland doesn't win the SUNYAC automatic bid this year they will be going to the NCAA regional.  At this point they are the only team that any of us can make that statement for with almost 100% certainty.  Yes there are others who we can make cases for, but Cortland is the one team that can make their travel reservations (to the regionals) tight now.


Starvin,  I didn't say that they don't have a go to guy... I said it would be interesting to see who would emerge in that position.  Yes they have several very good pitchers... and as you point out Jweid is one of them.  I didn't state that they will lose big games becuase they don't have someone in that role at this point of the year.  Just that it will be interesting to see how it develops...  Personally I think that Matt Tone is a good candidate for the role... 

The stats you give on Dougher are VERY interesting... Most likely that is the case because as we all know, when you play agasint top teams you sometimes lose games... and good pitchers do get losses or no decisions.  While I didn't have the information you gave us, the numbers are as you pointed out,because he was the guy that coach Brown went to when he needed a win in a big game.  Without going into the game detials, weren't they all close games where defense and lack of run production played a part in the losses? 

Agian, interesting data... thanks.


No debate from me that Dougher, Jweid, Tone and many of the other Cortland pitchers are top notch and command respect when they are on the mound.

I only made the point that it will be interesting now that Dougher (and Burnett and Miller before him) are gone... how the dynamics of the staff will play out throught the season.  That happens on a lot of teams, we just happen to be discussing Cortland here...

QuoteI didn't say that they don't have a go to guy...

This should read "won't.... not "don't"... that changes the meaning of my post and makes it agumentative with Starvin Marvinrather then a clarification.  I agree with his assessment of Jweid... 

I did imply that to those of us who are not on the coaching staff that they "don't" have a go to guy at this point... and, that it will be interesting to see who emerges.  However, while we don't know who it will be... I think that Coach Brown most likely knows who he thinks it is already!

Post by: pudge27 on January 28, 2008, 11:48:27 AM
Bob,  I definitely agree with you that somebody will emerge from the pack as a number 1 for them.  They probably do know already, but that could even change during the course of the year.  You don't always know how guys will improve year over year. 

Scuba, as much as this pains me, I've got to agree with you.  Cortland has always found a way to get innings for guys and usually that translates into some surprise producers late in the year.  I think that at this level, most guys, even good players, would choose a role on a good team over being the "every inning guy" on a bad team.  Keep in mind, this isn't the first year that Cortland's had more than 1 player at a position.  They've made it work pretty well lately. 

That being said, I still think that a lot of teams in the SUNYAC are getting better every year, so nothing is guaranteed to anyone.

Bilyck will be a starter and Mattes will close, mirroring their roles 2 yrs ago.

If you look at the starters, Bilyck (transferred from D1 lemoyne), Blanco (D-1 FDU) along with Jweid and Tone could start in the MAAC or America East for any team, Sienna, Lemoyne, Canisius, Albany, Binghamton etc...(or alot of other D1 teams around the nation) and Hooper is a gamer that I would pitch in any game!
I would put that staff against any starting staff in NY, regardless of Division!

Pudge, Gee thanks for paining urself to see my point and ur also right. Cortland over the yr's has had success playing alot of different players over the course of a season without compromising TEAM goals.

As the season gets close, are you planning on being at the Brockport/UR game on 3/25?  If not, do you know of anyone on these boards who might have an interest in attending that game besides you?  What about the next day, 3/26 when UR plays Cortland?  It doesn't look like I'll be able to get to town to watch.  Any input would be helpful.

Thanks
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on January 29, 2008, 01:08:40 AM
I can see Mattes good for a few innings of a seven inning game, but I don't think he'd be someone that would eat up say, six-seven innings. His bread and butter is his overpowering fastball. One that's had trouble staying in the strike zone and even in front of the catcher at times in his career. He's had a whole year off to improve his game so maybe we'll see a different Justin Mattes in the spring. Who knows.

But, again, I see him as mainly a weapon in the seven inning games. Bilyk won't get you that many innings either, but he's more of a control pitcher with lots of breaking pitches. He reminds me of Jake Dennstedt from Brockport, though I think Dennstedt is better (well, was, now since he graduated).

And is it possible to have a second Division III Assman? I see Assman listed in that probable roundup of pitchers. Though, I doubt he's related to Capital starting quarterback Marty Assman. Now pitching for Cortland...the Assman.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on January 29, 2008, 09:17:59 AM
Assman(great name) is from auburn and he's pretty good, don't know if he's related or not.
My point w/ mattes was kinda along the same line as JM's without wanting to say it. Its tough to go from a closer to a starter, the conditioning end is much different but mattes had all of last yr to strengthen his arm appropriately if starting was the goal. Coach JB knows what he is doing so we'll all have to see what happens.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 29, 2008, 01:30:55 PM
I don't think that Mattes has ever been considered the "closer" at Cortland but rather a spot starter and all situation reliever.  The closer role is very rare in DIII baseball in my opinion and I see Mattes in the same role this year as previous years.  Any other year I think Mattes would start but he's more valuable this year as a reliever.  Mattes has the ability to start and has at times been able to "eat up innings" in the past but is far more effective for one to two innings of straight cheese.  Control has been a bit of an issue but when he's throwing strikes and his slider is working, game over!

JM, I know that you said Bilyk and Dennstedt remind you of each other but you're comparing apples and oranges.  One is a lanky left-hander and the other is a 5'11" right-hander with different out pitches.  One is a starter and one is a reliever/spot starter.  What makes you think that Bilyk won't get you many innings?  It all depends on how well a pitcher is throwing on a particular day.  He has started games for Cortland in the past and thrown five or six great innings.  He's also done the same as a reliever so I disagree with you on that.  I know that you have seen the young man pitch but do you think Lemoyne would give a decent amount of money to a young man who can't give you many innings?



Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on January 29, 2008, 02:01:55 PM
mattes was the guy that came in the last inning 2 yrs ago to shut the door. you call him a reliever, I call him a closer.
go here to view his stats from 2006

http://www.cortlandreddragons.com/custompages/baseball/2006stats/teamcume.htm

he led the team in saves with 4, and was 2nd on the team in appearances sure looks like he was the closer or at least shared the role with Nick Mcpartland, who had 3 saves and 18 appearances that yr

in th games i saw that yr, mattes closed 2 of the 4 games

PS bilyck was on scholarship at lemoyne in '05 before he left, henceforth they game him money. don't understand your point

Sure, Bilyk was at LeMoyne, but I wasn't all that impressed by him at Cortland. I only saw him pitch a few times and he didn't strike me as a Division I arm. It's nothing against him, just my own opinion.

I was comparing him with Dennstedt since they both are more control-type pitchers, the exact opposite of Mattes - a fastball pitcher.

My point is that I doubt Coach Owens would give a young man money who doesn't have the ability to give you solid innings as a starter or reliever.  I know that he was there on scholarship and I think that says something about Bilyk's ability.

Post by: scuba16 on January 29, 2008, 06:42:20 PM
bilyck has great ability,  lefty, 6'3 190, lanky
86-89 from the bump, arm side run.
the only question with this kid is does he want it? After sitting out last yr I would hope the fire is lit under this kid.
In any event, coming out of ithaca high school, bilyck was highly regarded and one of the better LHP in NY state. That would suggest he has a bundle of ability.
We will see, but as I stated before, this pitching staff is shaping up to be one of the best staffs ever in the NY region!

Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 29, 2008, 09:50:31 PM
I believe Bilyk had a 20 strikeout performance in a high school game if I'm not mistaken which set a New York State record.  Hopefully this young man can have a productive year and I think he will. 

In the end, I believe that Brockport's biggest loss will end up as Cortland's biggest gain and that's the emergence of Mike Avery.  In my opinion, he will make the biggest impact of any player new to Cortland's roster this year.  He provides Cortland with a tremendously gifted all-around talent who will benefit from being in a program with so much talent around him.  Don't be surprised if you see this kid get a chance to play at the next level due in part to his decision to transfer.  No offense to Brockport but the sky is the limit for Mike Avery due to the combination of his ability, coaching he will receive and the discipline that will be integrated into his game from being at Cortland.  With their reputation among professional scouts and recent success in getting their players opportunities to play professionally, I think he will get his chance.  He's a five tool talent who is going to help Cortland tremendously.  Brockport is a good enough program to survive despite his loss but I'm sure they wouldn't mind having him.  Nothing should land in Cortland's outfield with the speed they have between Avery, Coromato (I think he will have a huge year) and the Dimino brothers.  Not to mention Simone, Zilnicki, and Papillo who should see time.  I'm going to try and make as many games as I can, work permitting, this year should be fun!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on January 29, 2008, 10:19:07 PM
Coromato can run and hit, i coached him in american legion for 4 yrs. he hit 26 3b's in 40 games one summer. left handed, gap power w/ speed. wore out left center, rt center and you won't find a kid that works harder or wants it more.\

Avery has got tools, draftable tools. + arm, big strong hitter and he can run. he will definately get better when Kerner gets a hold of him and works the hell out of him!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 29, 2008, 10:40:38 PM
26 3 baggers, holy smokes!!  I got the impression after watching Coromato last year that he leaves it on the field day in and day out.  Must have enjoyed coaching him scuba!  I think he exemplifies what the program is all about and it's really nice to see from all of the kids.  There's no question that Avery will be worked very hard and I'm sure that he welcomes it.  Brockport had a very formidable outfield last year with Avery leading the way and as I said before, it must be very disappointing for them to not have him there anymore.  The Brockport staff seems to have done a commendable job in helping him make the conversion from SS to the outfield which is where he is best suited.

Scuba,  Good catch on that... and thanks for the chuckle... we all need one with the cold and wind today!  At least here in Buffalo... 18 degrees and 30-40 mph winds.  Baseball season must be just around the corner...

???

Guru, I was going to say that while this is all interesting reading, lets not annoint Cortland the national league title just yet... after all, didn't the mets just trade for Santana?  That should help them compete with Cortland...   ;D

There are other teams and players in the league... its not Cortland and the JV's teams from pick any high school leage in the state.

I agree, they are a team with a lot of talent and depth, but they will still need to win the games on the field.  And, they may end up doing that... but lets not sell everyone else completely out of it yet.  As there are teams and players that are going to give it everythign they can to win too, and not just roll over and spaz out when they play them. 

Yes, anyone who does end up beating them will need to play at the top of their game... and in order to win the SUNYAC title over Cortland they will need to have a great weekend of top level ball.  But it has happened before... and I am sure it will happen again...

After all, they keep starting the season over again every year... don't they?

I think that all the conversation about Cortland is great... as they have represented the conference well on the national level.  And yes, evern though they don't wear jersey's taht say SUNYAC on them... they have represented everyone in the conferece.  Also, I am guessing that no one wants to put them selves out there as a target by suggesting that anyone else can win it... or perhaps we just don't know who the players are on the other teams.  Who knows?

SO with all that being said, I am looking forward to a great season... with everyone getting their shot at the title onthe field.  And lets hope that at a team or two can reach the level of beating Cortland a time or two so that we (the SUNYAC) get two teams in the NCAA tournament like we did in 2004!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: NYBaseball on January 30, 2008, 04:50:35 PM
No one is talking about anything but Cortland on here because there isn't really anything to talk about but them.  I realize games are played on the field, but i just can't see anyone really giving Cortland a game.  Plattsburgh looks to have the most returning, but until they get over the fact they havent won a sunyac tourney game in who knows how long....they wont be beating anyone whens it matters most.  Brockport lost an awful lot of talent as well, and i just don't really know what to expect out them.....there probably a few years away from being a real contender again.  Oneonta has a decent amount of offense returning, but that pitching staff has to really step up or they wont be going anywhere.

To basically sum it up.....everyone is going to have there work cut out for them to even be in a game with Cortland.......it doesnt hurt either when there able to not only recruit H.S kids but they recruit the D1 programs in NYS and the other sunyac teams as well(coromato,avery)....there ought to be a rule against kids transfering in conference

That can't possibly be true. Basnight played four years at Cortland plus he was at Saint Bonaventure as a freshman giving him five years of college baseball. From what I can tell, he doesn't have any eligibility left. He may be back as a grad assistant but certainly not as a player.

Bob, as you mention in almost every post we realize that teams need to win on the field but thanks for the reminder.  Also, let's hear some people talk about the other teams and their players in the conference if you're tired of hearing all the talk about Cortland.  No one ever said you can't talk about other teams so instead of complaining let's hear what people who follow other programs have to say.  Give us your opinion on Brockport's starting nine and their rotation and we can all comment on it. 

JM, relax on the Basnight situation, I think the comment was meant to be a joke. 

In DIII baseball where kids pay their tuition is exactly why no rule against transferring should be instituted.  If a kid is paying to go to school and realizes he's not happy or made a bad decision you can't punish him and tell him he can't leave unless you want to pay for his schooling.



Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 31, 2008, 07:13:52 AM
Obviously the Bashnight comment was a joke... and as Scuba says it is pretty funny.  A very well delivered comical comment at us being to serious on here... so +1 for that.

Starvin, I think that Brockport will be one of the teams that are in the mix when tournament time comes.  As a Brockport fan, I think that every year... isn't that what a fan does?  I also think that Plattsburgh is the team with the most coming back... and Oneonta and New Paltz will need to be reckoned with too.

I can't give you a starting lineup for Brockport at this point, but then no one here has been able to give the starting lineup for Cortland at this point either...  so that isn't a big deal.  I can give you some names that will be included in it and suspect that it will consist of a few new guys too (some returning from injuries, a transfer or two and possibly even a freshman or two)... along with returning guys who have shown they can play, some of which will be given increased rolls.  Beach, Caruana, Maxwell, Meola, Nicholson all will be bigger contributors this year... also they have Zaccardo and Warne returning from injuries behind the plate (yes they lost their #1 & #2 catchers last year).  They have three returning starters who have shown they can win in the league (perhaps not with the petigrees that have been touted for some of the Cortland pitchers on here but each of them has to be respected when they pitch against you) and they have experiecne in the bull pen.  There are a lot of new pitchers... a couple transfers... I feel as the  new guys get their feet wet that they will be OK on the mound. 

Scuba made a great point about their loss of Avery possibly being the biggest addition for Cortland (+1 for that).  He is most likely on the mark there, as Mike is a very good player.  But Brockport will move on from that loss...

As pointed out here, Oneonta has a lot of offense returning... and while they lost a lot of pitching, I'ver heard that they do have several new pitchers who will fill the void... don't know names - perhaps someone can fill us in.  Perhaps someone who knows this team can go through the lineup possibilities...

Yes, Plattsburgh has not won a game at the SUNYAC tournament... but when it happens it will most likely change the mix up a bit from the Brockport, Cortland Oneonta always being the three teams at the end... so they hold a key, who will they impact?   Same with Plattsburghs lineup and outlook, anyone with any insights?

And there was some talk about New Paltz... any one know anything more about them?

I still say that we will have some surprises and it won't be as cut and dry as it looks on paper... that is why we keep playing.  And no matter who wins the conference in the end we should all support them.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 31, 2008, 08:06:48 AM
Let me throw something out for discussion...

With the SUNYAC being one of the longest established and IMO one of the more competative D-III conferences.... AND the baseball Hall of Fame being in New York state.  What does anyone think of the conference possibly looking to play its baseball conference tournament in Cooperstown at Double Day Field?

With the HOF being in NY, and the SUNYAC being a conference of the University of New Yokr... I think it would be a great partnership.  I've always thought that it would be something that is at least work looking at.

There would be some issues that would need to be addressed but I think that the positive PR and tie in to baseball history would be awesome.

And all of the Logistical issues can be worked out.

Anyone have any comments on this?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 31, 2008, 08:21:20 AM
I seem to always be leaving Oswego out of my comments... maybe its because they aren't represented on the board very often.  Or because they are just hiding on the lake shore... I don't know.  Same with Fredonia...

But I think that they are a team that will be heard from this year too.  They won some solid games last year... notably sweeping both Brockport and Oneonta.  They were in every conference game last year with a chance to win... yet they still ended up not making the tournament.  They win one game in the last series against Oneonta and they qualify for the tournament.

Yes they lost their top pitcher (DeSantis), top hitter (Peroli) and their SS (Farrell), but they still have a lot of experience coming back... if they have a couple of guys coming in who can contribute in the conference right away they will need to be dealt with.

Same with Fredonia... they the second game against Plattsburgh and one against Oneonta at the end of the year and they may have snuck in too.  They look to be a little light on pitching with the loss of Huard, but they can score runs... so if you don't put top guys on the mound against them you may be in for some trouble.

Last year the final team didn't qualify for the conference tournament until the last game of the year... it may come down to that again this year with New Paltz improving and these two teams being in the mix.

We seem to have agreed that Cortland most likely will be the top seed again... and that Plattsburgh has the most coming back and is the favorite to be #2 again.  But what about the other 5 teams battling to qualify for the last two spots.

Comments?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pudge27 on January 31, 2008, 08:55:14 AM
Bob,
    I wanted to chime in on your Cooperstown suggestion.  This is going back quite a few years, but I used to play there quite a bit when I could still bend my knees.  For atmosphere and all that, Doubleday would be a slam dunk.  Anyone who's been down there would agree.  You'd also get much bigger crowds because it's pretty centrally located and there's a lot of people in town visiting that would just walk by and see a game going on.  For that, you really can't beat it. 

   I also don't think that logistics would be a problem.  Utica and Oneonta are an hour and 1/2 hour respectively and there is plenty of lodging within a short drive. 

   The biggest hiccup that I see is with the actual field itself.  Keep in mind that this is going back quite a few years, but the left field fence is way too close and the field was in ok shape, but not kept to the level that I'm sure the Auburn facility or even C. St. or IC's fields is kept.  They may have made changes to that since then, but that's my recollection.  The other factor is $$.  I would almost bet my house that Cooperstown charges more to play there than any of the other facilities that have been used in the recent past. 

   I think that it would be a great idea and would be all for it, but those are the problems that I see.  I would also suggest throwing out there more of a rotation in some of the minor league parks in NY.  I'm up in Rochester and think that Frontier Field would be a great location.  I'd say the same about Buffalo and Binghamton as well. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on January 31, 2008, 12:30:17 PM
Agree about the loot doubleday charges but the real problem with playing there is the fact that if it even sprinkles they yank you off the field in .5 seconds. That would be ok if you were playing in a tournament or something but conference tournament games need to be played. If it happened there would need to be some sort of agreement with the field maintenance staff beforehand, but in my experience with doubleday, what they say goes.
How about the NY regional there, Oneonta could host. What a great atmosphere that would be. More food for thought!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 31, 2008, 12:43:02 PM
The grounds issue and charges are a couple of the things that I would think would need to be ironed out.  And most likely can if the conference were to get involved with the Double Day people...

Just a thought on the grounds thing, perhaps the schools invovled would bring someone who works on theiro own field along to help with the work load during the tournament.   draging, lining, mound & plate areas... as well as other things like supplies for the field.  Both teams would be the tarp crew...

I just think it would be very interesting to explore with both being in NY.  Probably more of a plum for the conference to be at the HOF then the other way around.  But I think it would be a plus for both...

Pudge, I think the left field fence is 315 down the line... and 370 to left center... so that is OK.  BUT it has been a few years since I've been to a game there so I may be wrong.  Also, I think the lure of this would be the tie in to SUNYAC and the HOF... but a rotation of minor league parks would be interesting.  Don't know if AAA would be the way to go, but A & AA would be nice too.

Scuba, interesting idea on the regional too.  Another possibility... and the NCAA would be involved then too.  The entire conference could sponsor it... with Oneonta and Cortland being the closest schools.  (not sure how far Cortland is)

I think it is worth the conference at least looking at.

Bob,

You make an interesting point about Doubleday Field but I have to believe the answer begins and ends with the expense of leasing the facility for a week.  Especially for a conference comprised of institutions funded with public money.

I must admit, I had no idea the SUNYAC had a postseason baseball tournament.  That is pretty cool. 

Love the debate in here.  Sorry you boys are all still buried in 4895243054 feet of snow.  Balls and bats are already out in sunny Florida.

Bob, thank you for your input about Brockport and some of the other teams in the conference.  In regard to hosting a tournament whether it be the SUNYAC or a regional, there's alwyas more to it than what's on the surface.  The SUNYAC tournament will never be held on a neutral site and rightfully so because it's one of the perks or advantages of winning the league and provides incentive.  However, the regionals are a totally different story as a school needs to first put in to host it.  Personally, I feel that Ithaca as well as other schools, choose to host because in their mind it may somehow help them if they were ever to falter in their regular season pursuit of a regional bid.  Most schools, if not all that host are usually favorites at the beginning of the season to make post-season play.  At the time of regional play, the spring semester is completed yet workers are needed at each regional site for concessions, security, field maintenance such as helping with the tarp if necessary etc.  Depending on how far the site is from the host college, these workers who are often students must drive back and forth from the college and the site of play.  I can't imagine that any college will pay for those working the site to stay in a hotel.  For example, Ithaca hosts the NY regional at Auburn and the workers they provide, mostly students, must drive the 45 minute to an hour drive (I think that's the distance) each day.  In m opinion, it's not easy to host a tournament and many things have to be taken into consideration.  Certain places sound like a great place to have a tournament but my point is that college baseball, especially DIII, doesn't generate enough revenue for people to go above and beyond the basic needs in order to run a tournament.  It's a shame because there's some very good baseball being played especially as the tournament progresses and the environment at these regional games rivals a funeral.  Have a good weekend everybody!

Interesting discussion on having SUNYAC's at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. If Oneonta were to host, I think if they couldn't do it at Red Dragon Field, the next logical choice would be a renovated Damaschke Field where the Oneonta Tigers play (and Hartwick used to play).

But back to Cooperstown. Biggest reason from my point of view why you can't host a tournament there - no media facilities/press box/PA. There's lots of bleacher space on either side of the field then a tiny nook for a scoreboard operator behind the plate and that's it. In the third-base side grandstand there's a couple power outlets but that is all. There's no phone lines and no dedicated press box.

Normally, this wouldn't be that big a deal - like say if it were just one game. But when you have a three-day tournament, you can't wait until the end of the day to send out all the results and post information online - not in this electronic age.

Just my two cents from having broadcast a summer league game from that field on a cell phone while hand-scoring the game to later put it into TAS with a big zero fans in attendance. As soon as the game was done, the groundskeeper guy was kicking everyone off the field and out of the dugouts.

Doubleday is perfectly capable of hosting media.  They probably just didn't put it out for the summer league game.  When I was with the Rays we took 8-10 writers and 2 PR people for the HOF game and everyone covered live.  But, like I said before, all that costs money and I presume the SUNYAC's Tourney budget wouldn't cover it.

Thanks NY... was just curious about him.  I knew he finished his baseball last year... good for him for getting to play his last season of basketball.

As for Cooperstown.... Even with all the issues with holding hte tournament there, I still think it would be a great thing for the SUNYAC to tie their conference tournament in with the baseball HOF.  Even if there weren't issues to deal with in order to hold it on Doubleday field it looks like it may be moot if the conference really does elimiante the tournament.

Any thoughs on the merits of eliminating the tournament?

What about having the tourney in the Albany/troy area. Joe Bruno Stadium is unbelievable. Then you have bleeker near by and many many other nice parks from what i remember from the area.

I like the cooperstown idea although i do agree with many of you that it would be a difficult funding task as well as it possibly becoming irritating to teams that they can't do certain things there because of their strictness. Dont think you can even have seeds in the dugout there.

I agree. Besides didn't you just play a season long tournament?  You won your conference now it's time for the regionals.  At least in New England.  It's hard as heck to get the 40 games in Willimantic never mind being in Upstate NY.  I just think that playing the weekend before regionals and then if you happen to move on having to do it all again.  Thats winning 3 tournaments in consecutive weeks. Thats real had to do.  Now if you play in the warm weather you narrow that do to 2 consecutive.  I know most teams don't need to win the conference  one but tell what team out there isn't trying to win it?  I think in the long run it helps the teams in your conference.

So will be the impact players for next year for crtland when they lose thos eniors? My bet would be the transfers he brought in they will get there share next year....they all have alot of talent. Coach Brown has 2 .400 hitters that being adam dimino and nick palmiero who will probobly play secong nxt year after russo leaves and a great pick up mike avery from brockport who will be in center.....Cortland should be fine this year and years to come......!

I think that we might be overplaying the impact on arms that the conference tournament might have.  Pitching depth is important to long term success in regionals and beyond.  If you're a team that's going well and is most likely going to qualify for regionals, do you really want a week off before the biggest games of the year?  I think that if they do away with the conference tourney, the team with the automatic bid is going to schedule games to keep fresh and a team on the bubble is going to want to be playing to try and get some more wins and get themselves over the hump.  I also think that the tournament bid gives more teams a shot to qualify.  The way things stand now, I've got to think that a team has a better shot of catching a wave and beating Cortland in a short tournament than they would have over the course of a season.  Any thoughts on that???

This is a solid point about rust.  But I think the difference between a tournament format and adding games to the schedule, as you suggest, is predictability.  If you know the dates you are going to play that week, you can set your rotation and bullpen accordingly so that you cruise into Regionals with a pitching plan.  You can also build yourself in a few days of rest between games if you schedule them which is not automatically available in a tournament format.  Obviously, tournament games and the frequency of tournament games are unpredictable so a team could end up out of order or working on short rest for Regionals.

I don't like the idea of elimianting the tournament... I do like the going to 3 games agasint each team but not eliminating the tournament.

Anyone have any comments on that happening?  We can't change it but just wondering what your thoughts are on it...
In the South and West, the use of the tournament allows teams to continue playing games.  The SCAC and the ASC have two-weekend tournaments that determine the AQ, i.e., intra-division tourney on weekend #1 (East and West, #4 v. #1 and #3 v #2).  The four winners then play the next weekend.

The downside to this is whether you knock one of your teams out of Pool C consideration by inflicting more losses, after the Regular Season champ wins the tourney as well.

I imagine college baseball like a cycling (velodrome) sprint.  Some teams start warming up in February and almost exhaust themselves by the start of the tourney in mid-May.  The northern teams start in mid March (up to 6 weeks later) and are hitting full speed in under 8 weeks.  :)

Exactly....If the conference tournament is two weeks before the regionals your rotation can be set up just the way you want it.  Like you said, you can schedule games as you like the week prior to the regionals.  I don't know how had it would be to schedule those games though.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pudge27 on February 09, 2008, 10:45:57 AM
I've got to think that it wouldn't be too difficult to schedule games late in the season.  I looked at Cortland's schedule and they've got a game scheduled with Hamilton between Sunyac's and Regionals.  (they may be better off with an intrasquad, but that's another post altogether).  Throw in the fact that most NY teams are trying to shoehorn 40 games into what seems to amount to a 3-4 week period, there should also be plenty opportunity for reschedules.  I guess my bottom line is that I'd like to see SUNY keep the tourney, but the teams that want to play are going to be getting after it, tourney or not.

The SUNYAC baseball tournament is awesome and it is a great place to set your pitching up for the regional, get some double elim tournament experience or win your way into the regional by beating the #1 seed and getting the automatic bid. What is the reasoning behind the push to eliminate the SUNYAC baseball tournament?

Some very interesting reading here since I've last been on.  Thanks!

A couple commnets about what has been said.

Ralph hit a very interesting point about conference tournaments in his post when he said
QuoteThe downside to this is whether you knock one of your teams out of Pool C consideration by inflicting more losses, after the Regular Season champ wins the tourney as well.
With one team in the conference being as prominent in the national picture, like Cortland has been in the past few years, the other teams in the tournament don't get their fair recognition... and unless one of them wins the AQ by taking the tournament, the two losses (albeit to very good teams...) may be a negative when being looked at for an at large bid.  I think it happened to Brockport last year...

Also, about the scheduling of games after the conference tournament to prevent a 2 week layoff.  That would have to be done before the season starts because of rules regarding length of season...  You won't be able to just pick up games even if you aren't at the 40 game limit as teams will/may not have time in their declared season to play.  And playing games the week after the present tournament weekend may not be easy as it is exam week and the next weekend is commencement.

I like the schedule model with the post season conference tournament, just because it is a conclusion of the conference season when teams come together to compete for a champioinship.  Also, it extends the season and gives teams that participate in the tournament games (beyond the 40 limit) and more time on the field... this is important in the northeast becuase they teams don't get out on the field until they return home from their spring trips... so it is a short season to begin with.

Consider this... any team that goes to the NCAA gets at least one (and in the SUNYCA case two) additional weeks of practices... go to the WS and you get anohter week.

Dumb question...can you have a cancellation due to low clouds? Anyone ever seen it? I'm envisioning like a 100 foot ceiling where a popup gets lost in the clouds.

I ask because even if it wasn't raining the clouds were so low over NC and SC and the mist so thick that I imagine it would have been an adventure.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

The Randolph Macon web site has the score and box score up as 7-2... as a 7 inning game... it was scheduled for 9, but halted in the top of the 8th due to darkness...  doesn't any part of the 8th that was played get wiped out in that case?

Also, I think the winning pitcher is incorrect in the box score... the game was tied when he left the game.


Good question Spence... I've never seen it, but if it is unsafe conditions I guess it could happen.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: FranElia on February 24, 2008, 02:28:35 PM
NCAA scoring rules actually state that stats from an incomplete inning actually do count if the outcome of the game is not affected. For example, if a team trails 2-1 entering the top of the eighth and scores twice to take a 3-2 lead, but the game is called (darkness, rain, etc.), then the game reverts back to the last completed inning and all stats from that top of the eighth don't count. Stats do count, however, as long as the winning/losing team isn't affected.

Therefore, since Cortland led 7-2 entering the top of the eighth, the five runs they scored (and all of the individual stats from the inning) will count, since Cortland is the winner regardless. The final score should be 12-2.

Randolph-Macon posted yesterday's score without knowledge of this rule (to their defense, it's not an overly well-known rule), but they have been informed and the score should most likely be changed to 12-2.

As a follow-up to my last post, this is from the NCAA Baseball Rule Book in the "Scoring" section (the boldface is mine):

Called/Forfeited Game and No Contest
SECTION 28. a. If a regulation game is called, include the record of all individual and team actions up to the moment the game ends as specified in Rule 5-8-b.

A.R. 1—If the scoring during an incomplete inning has no bearing on the outcome of the contest, include all individual and team records.

Fran,

Thanks... I did not know that.  We just keep on learning as we go with this game...  With so many different sets of rules that are slightly different is some areas it is always worth asking about it to be sure its correct.


Any insight on the winning pitcher?  I think it should be Hooper as he was in the game when the lead was taken for good.


Thanks again, always good to pick up something new... makes me feel younger.

Bob,

Assuming the pitching changes are listed correctly, then Hooper would get the win for exactly the reason you stated - Cortland took the lead for good in the top of the fourth and he was the pitcher of record at that time, having entered in the bottom of the third.

       Upon perusing updated and accurate Cortland box scores a couple of things stand out, both expected for early season. Cortland pitchers experienced bigtime control problems, and the hitters for the most part struggled ......as in two hits in opener vs. Rowan. Came alive in third game rally at Mary Wash.

You may see Cortland State "struggle"(maybe drop a game or 2) early on. They have a ton of transfers and freshmen. It takes a while for guys to gel, especially when they haven't played many games together. The talent is definately there. I would expect the coaching staff to get them going in the right direction and with the talent present, they will be tough come the end of the year!

Post by: pudge27 on February 29, 2008, 01:19:41 PM
Good point Scuba.  I think it makes a good argument for the "pro" of traveling early to play some games before their spring trip.  It's pretty common to come out of the gate a bit slow and opening up with 10 games in a week is tough.  It might take all week to get going and next thing you know, you're 3-7 or 4-6 to start the season, even if you're a good team.  Getting some early games before the big trip can be really helpful to figure out how good you are and what you've got to work on.  From a conference perspective, it's good to see at least 2 other schools going out and getting started early as well.

Oneonta loses to Baruch 4-2... ouch

The game that they played against each other a few days ago, Ackerman struck out 17 Baruch batters.  Great job! 

The score for that game is reported differently on the two teams web sites (17-2 by Oneonta and 16-2 by Baruch)... anyone konw which is correct?  may be just a typo on the Oneonta page as they don't have up a box score yet and Baruch does...

Two Thumbs up to the Plattsbugh St baseball team for coming and leading the crowd at all of the
mens basketball games the past couple of weeks.   I think almost the whole team sits together (in red)
and stands the whole game.  Very vocal, lots of spirit and nobody gets out of hand. 

Expect me to do the same when your team visits my area or I get up to Plattsburgh again.

Coach Doorey, you need to stick to baseball, you would not make a good basketball ref  ;D

Billy Davis wins the "Wild Thing" award for being the wacky bull pen ace.
He is a decorated in red and white at basketball games similar to Mel Gibson in Brave Heart.
The team thanks you for your courage and support, Billy.   ;)

Anyone care to give an all-time SUNYAC team?  Also, who is the best position player and the best pitcher to ever come out of the SUNYAC?  I've been following the conference for the past five years so I'm curious to hear about talent within the conference prior to that.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on March 25, 2008, 01:22:11 PM
Thats a tall order, almost an impossible task.
-Are you going to just factor in SUNYAC games or all games played?
-Are we looking at overall talent or performance! I'm asking because there have been plenty of guys drafted, but scouts draft on physical characteristics and projectability and those aren't always the guys who understand and play the game the best!

Over the years, there have been alot of great players and teams.
Best position player ever, Best pitcher ever?
I have a pretty good idea who was the best of the best from the 90's...
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on March 25, 2008, 03:37:34 PM
Scuba, after I wrote my original post I realized that that was a near impossible task.  Mainly because of how rare it is that many people who participate on this board have not been following the SUNYAC conference long enough or close enough to narrow it down.  On top of that it's hard to remember everyone over the years who could be considered and there's just too many players.  Without a narrowed down, compiled listing of stats and honors in front of you it's hard to figure out the best of the best.

I know that there have been some very good players over the years and what criteria should be used?  I guess I was just wondering who could be considered the best player(s) to come out of the SUNYAC based on whatever criteria is deemed necessary, draft position for instance? That says quite a bit about how good a player is eventhough scouts overlook DIII kids all the time who deserve a chance to play at the next level.  Just trying to get some opinions from people who have followed the conference over the years.  I'm interested in hearing these opinions and learning a little bit about the history of the conference.  Thought it might create some discussion or debate among those who know the conference well.  I know CB Bucknor is a Cortland alumn who now serves as an MLB umpire in the AL I believe!

You should Scuba, you were in college almost the entire decade. 

In all seriousness, that is a pretty tough topic.  Aside from a few years in the mid 90's, I don't know enough about teams other than Cortland to have a fair opinion.  Even then, we only played half the conference, not everyone.

No offense taken OshDude.  Cortland has a pretty good reputation as a party school.  Where else would you expect to find Assman and Fuchs??  I've heard that coach Brown is heavily recruiting a kid named Legman and......we'll let's just leave it at that.  Keep the board semi clean. 

As long as he keeps twirling scoreless innings, the pronunciation don't matter as much, no?

Saw cortland play plattsburgh today, cortland just seems to be able to hold on in close games, gotta give credit to defense and bullpen work. First game plattsburgh outfielders handed them several runs making it a 3run game, without those plays its prolly a tie ballgame, but gotta give credit to the dragons for jumping on mistakes by the cardinals. Second game started sloppy, think there was about 3 bunts that cortland didnt field or get an out, key error by plattsburgh in the 2nd inning allowing the inning to completly turn over. Was impressed by the two pitchers in the second game though, after the sloppy play early the ratliff kid really settled in and retired the last 11 guys he faced keeping them off balance all day. The kelley kid from plattsburgh looked good, retired the last 12 batters getting ground ball after ground ball, kid has a nice arsenal of pitches. Offense just wasnt there for either team at the end and plattsburgh just happened to be behind. Great baseball games though well played by both teams.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 14, 2008, 09:21:04 PM
Meola is quick as hell laterally, don't know about his overall speed but when I coached against him in HS football he seemed like he ran pretty good.
I just looked at brockports stats and he is 3/4 SB's and has been PR for 4 x's and has PR once. He has hit in the 1 hole a few x's so I think he runs well.
Alot of the pinch runs look like B'Port is up a few when they happen and the coach is just getting a guy in the game after Meola got on base.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: sunyacguru on April 14, 2008, 11:26:48 PM
after reading a few things it appears that that was kelley's first start of the season. He threw some relief against sunyit but cortland was his first start. Tough team to get your first start of the season against but id say he did pretty well. Plattsburgh will need him at full health to stand a chance in my opinion. I just dont think any of their any pitchers can beat some teams and kelley is prolly in top 3 pitchers of the conference when healthy. Fredonia sweeps new paltz today shaking up the standings a little more. Oswego over plattsburgh 16-0 in the opener!!!!! see what i mean with plattsburghs lack of pitchers. Some big games coming next weekend!!!

Nice to catch up on the reading... our computer went haywire, turns out windows was crashing very slowly... but now its back like new.   Thank goodness for people who know what they're doing with computers.  LOL    :D

Meola is pretty fast, but he has been pinch run for a couple of times with Jason Micheals becuase he is faster and also plays 2B.  Just moves by the coach...

Kelly has pitched in relief early inthe year... thought perhpas he was hurt and was just given short stints to get back up to speed...  Anyone know how he is doing if he was hurt?

Very interesting conference season so far...  except for Cortland on top and SUNYIT again struggling... every thing esle is as clear as MUD.  With all six teams having possibilities to reach the tournament.  Will be fun to watch...

Post by: HotSoupTrio on April 15, 2008, 07:56:28 PM
Bob,

Your comment on Meola and Michaels is not making much sense to me. If Michaels was a better second baseman then he would already be in the game. You don't pinch run a  guy, who plays the same position just to get him in the game, this isn't high school or summer league baseball. Obviously Meola is not very "fleet of foot"

There was a +K for your nice little chant. I find that one can also apply to that other school in Ithaca when my new employer plays them in hockey.

WICB's stream doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment, I might switch computers just to check the score before I head in.

It's a pretty big game in the national picture, at least I think, with each team bringing in a streak of 15 or more wins in a row. But, in terms of playoffs, it sadly doesn't really have playoff implications, probably other than seeding IMO.

Realistically, this could be for a one-seed in Auburn if both teams keep playing like they have been. Not to discount RPI and Rochester, but I think that Ithaca and Cortland are playing the best baseball in upstate NY right now.

The bigger game between these two will be a little over a month from now in Auburn. I'll post a score in a few minutes once I get my other computer online. 

Here's something that will generate discussion - what's your favorite IC-Cortland baseball moment? For the sake of argument, let's not include the feistier games.

I have to think for a minute or two before I answer.

Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a reply earlier today when I had to shut down and do some actual work.  I can appreciate you going out on that limb prior to the game, so I won't give you a hard time if the score stands.  Now, I don't think I can run my mouth too much knowing what the score is.  Although I will say that it's funny how the Bombers finally get the jug back after what must have seemed like 20 years, you get to running football smack already.  I gotta run.

Good day for the Dragons with the stick.  I'll agree with John that the real game will come next month.  Good win nonetheless.  Seemed like Cortland was set on using a number of pitchers today.  I think they've got 4 conference games this weekend.  Hard to tell if Ithaca was planning on doing the same or not. 

As for favorite Cortland/IC moments on the diamond, I'd start with any of the times when IC was sitting in the winners bracket and Cortland comes back to take it from them. That's always a pretty good time in my book.

Post by: scuba16 on April 16, 2008, 10:44:18 PM
Cortland 9-5 over da bombers. Some quick observations from looking at the box score.
Ithaca throws a regular starter like usual,  A. Brown(their #3) and Cortland Pitches by commitee (planned I would imagine).  B. Rowlands, C. Bilyk, N. Baker, N. Serio,  N. DeVito

Cortland score 9 quick and then cruises to the W.
I don't like the Cruising part, they need to hammer away and win this game by double digits!
Only the regular season, but any win at Freeman is a good win, it is a tough place to play and IC is coached well!

Favorite Cortland/IC baseball moment has to be sending the Bombers home for good in the 1995 regional. Cortland's baseball program has never looked back and the Bombers haven't reached the World Series since 1994.
It was a changing of the guard!

I'd like to say that my favorite moment is Ithaca defeating Cortland at Freeman Field during the regular season of my senior year (2002). But, aside from remembering that I broadcast the game on ICB with Zach Gershberg, I don't recall anything of the game.

Thanks to the power of the Internet, I can see that Sazi Guthrie tossed a complete game five-hitter and Tim Bush drove in three runs.

That's the only time that I've seen Ithaca defeat Cortland. My favorite moment might be the 2005 winners bracket game and championship game in Auburn. Both games were unbelievable, Cortland won 9-8 and then 9-7. Rob Raux nearly tied the title game in the top of the ninth but his would-be home run bounced off the top of the double-decker fence.

My favorite Ithaca baseball moment comes from the following season, the five-hour extra-inning marathon against RPI that Ithaca won in 11 or so innings.

I'll say this, I didn't see the game but if Zaccardo's dingers went where the radio guys say they went, neither was a cheap one.  That 405 mark in Right Center at Freeman Field has got to play at least as deep as any park in the country for a right handed hitter.  That is just beyond the wall of trees that cuts down the wind in left and left center.  Kudos to him on those shots.

As for a favorite IC-Cortland moment, that is a tough one given the quality of the games over the years.  I do remember the game John referenced.  Sazi was locked in that day.

I think that he's a lefty hitter if I'm not mistaken.  Could be switch.  Still a pretty big blast to get one out there. 

I will agree with Scuba that the game in 95' was pretty important.  Sounds like you guys probably couldn't have cared less at the time as you were on your way out to the Jr. High dance, but IC was Dominant back then.  They were also doing 4 team regionals, and IC was going to the Series every year.  Bigtime Monkey off the back for the Dragons.

As for John's all time favorite moment:  I've never been accused of pulling for IC, but any time they knock around RPI, they're ok in my book for at least that day.

Viper,
talked to 1 of my buddies that went to the game and he said zaccardo's hr to rt center over the 405 sign was an absolute bomb. the 2nd hr was to lft center and not a cheap one either.

Pudge,
zaccardo is a lft handed hitter

Side note: I think IC has only beaten Cortland once or twice since 1995. Because of my laziness i refuse to go through all of the old box scores to come up with a precise # but I know it is a low #.

Having said that, the rivalry is still 2nd to none!

Post by: JQV on April 17, 2008, 10:28:56 AM
I knew he was lefty but I can see how my post was misleading.  I just wanted to qualify the superlative before someone from some place I have never heard of popped in to point out that their park is 505 in dead center or something. 

Lefty or righty, the wind in that part of the park keeps all but the biggest of flys in play.

When you guys were playing in 1995 I was playing my last year of Little League, getting ready for high school, and had never heard of either Ithaca or Cortland.

      Is there a better 1-2 catching punch than CSt's M. Zaccardo-A. Gardner. Both swing lefty, and actually Zaccardo had gotten off to a rather slow start offensively. Gardner on the other hand has sizzled. One catches, the other dh's. Zaccardo will be an absolute pro pick

     In Bob "Sparky" Wallace's early coaching career he had a catcher the longtime coach might consider his best, maybe of any position player -- Dick Cameron. Real slugger.

     But if someone asks Cortland's, and perhaps SUNYAC's, best, here's a vote for Craig Kerner. He's currently on coaching staff. Was a hitting machine in the 90'sand played in Expos' organization

That's a tough choice because so many great players have come through Cortland over the last 5-10 years. I think Kerner is certainly up there on the list of maybe the top three, but I didn't see enough of him as a player to say that he's the best. Of the teams I broadcast games for and the players I saw, I'd say the best at least recently was Andy Mead. Well, Andrew Mead, now. ("It's Don Most now")

Here's a guy that's a four-year starter that got better every year he was at Cortland. He started as a speed guy ("Mr. Speed" dubbed by Gordon Mann), a lot like Anthony Coromato is now, except not at that level. And by his senior year, he was a power guy at the plate that could put the ball over the fence. And from what I remember, he had a solid outfield arm.

As for sluggers, of which Mike Zaccardo is now, I think I'd take Jeff Flegler in the slot before him. But, if Zaccardo takes a second SUNYAC Player of the Year award or has a monster regional, he may pass Flegler on my list.

jdex, what round was kerner drafted in and was he drafted as a junior or a senior? 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: FranElia on April 18, 2008, 08:21:33 AM
Starvin - Craig Kerner was drafted in the 13th round of the 2000 draft by the Expos after his junior season. We've had a number of very talented players at Cortland in my 17 years, but he's perhaps the best I've seen (especially among the position players).

John - To Andrew Mead's defense, he never asked to be called Andy. When he first arrived, Coach Brown listed him as Andy on the roster he gave us. We ask players on their info forms what name they want listed on the roster, and he never put down Andy, but we called him that due to what Coach listed. It wasn't until late in his career that we finally realized that he preferred Andrew, so we switched.

Being the person he is, Mead never said one word about it. Not a surprise - he is one of the best people I've gotten to know over the years among all the Cortland student-athletes I've met, and I'm glad he's still doing well in the White Sox farm system.

I was thinking Kerner too.  He was very fun to watch.  I was just going to keep my opinion to myself having not seen these other kids but I have a strict policy of always agreeing with Fran so I will go ahead and chime in.

Hot soup...

I didn't say he was better... I said he was faster.

Someone asked a question about Meola and his being removed for a pinch runner.  I answered the question.  Both Meola and Micheals are good players and had been splitting time at second.

Right now both are in the lineup as Micheals has moved over to third so both are in the lineup.

Post by: scuba16 on April 18, 2008, 12:29:07 PM
Fran is right on the $ as usual. Kerner is the obvious choice, the offensive #'s the guy put up in only 3 yrs and MORE IMPORTANTLY the # of wins cortland had in the 3 yrs he played are uncomparable. Add in the fact that he is the highest draft choice of anybody from a SUNYAC school (that I know of) and there u have it, discussion over!
Some other (Position Players) guys to throw into the discussion are:

Scott Bartucca- 1995 Oswego, 1B 6'5 Lefty/Lefty drafted 2x's, once out of high school and once out of JUCO transferred to Oswego from St Johns. Was a force to be reckoned with

Alex Steele- 1995-1997 Cortland, Tigers 15th, 6'3 Rght/Rght OF, Cannon, dropped bombs. Led the NY Penn leagued in HR's 2 yrs before tearing his Labrum

Mark Duncan 1993-1994 Cortland Signed Non Drafted Free agent. Hit .495 for Cortland in 1994

Those were some of the position guys I played with and against that were the best!

It should be check and wait. As far as I know, no one in the league has live stats. A few schools post scores in between games of a doubleheader and only two have audio broadcasts - but WBSU doesn't cover much and Cortland's is sporadic since they do all the other sports.

Looking at the standings, it looks like a wide open weekend. I can't remember the last time Fredonia and New Paltz were right in the thick of it. It'll be a race to see who can avoid the four seed in the tournament, unless it's Brockport, then that's where they're the most dangerous :)
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 24, 2008, 04:55:34 PM
No scores anywhere yet....  Both Fredoina and New Paltz were in the mix last year, but fell out of it before the last weekend.

If Plattsburgh sweeps, they are the second team to clinch a spot in the tournament and will be #2 seed.  If Oneonta sweeps, then there are 5 teams with reasonalbe shot at the three spots... and New Paltz would still be alive too.

will be a very interesting weekend...

Looks as though things are a little more clearer now that Oneonta has swept Plattsburgh today, but even so there still is a lot undecided. With today's results Cortland is locked up as the #1 seed and the only way Plattsburgh wouldn't make the tourney is if Oswego sweeps Brockport, Fredonia Sweeps Cortland and Splits with Oneonta, and Oneonta finishes with splits against SunyIt and Fredonia....I think Cardinal's fans you guys are safe
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 25, 2008, 11:10:53 AM
Clearer?  It is as clear as MUD...   ???

It would have been much clearer if Plattsburgh had swept Oneonta as then they would be locked in as the #2 seed.  With Oneonta sweeping there are 5 teams that have real shots... all depending on who ends up tied with who... and if there are 2, 3 or more teams tied.

Does anyone know the tie breakers for more then 2 teams?

it is my understanding that the 2 way tie breakers are:
1) head to head games
2) then the results vs the other teams from the top down.

Can anyone confirm that?

Which if true would mean that if Plattsburgh and Brockport end up tied at 7-7 and Oneonta ends up as the #2 seed, Brockport wins the tie becasue of a split vs Oneonta , while Plattsburgh lost to them twice. And Oswego is out as they would have 8 losses.

AND Plattsburgh wins a tie if Fredonia is the determining team as Plattsburgh swept Fredonia and Brockport lost to them.  But for this to happen, Fredonia will need to win 3 of their four game this weekend.

Oswego wins a tie vs Fredonia, but loses one against Oneonta... and don't know about Brockport yet as they play on Sunday.  If Oswego wins one vs Brockport, Brockport is out and Oswego is involved in tie breakers...

I have no idea what happens if its a 3-way tie among any three of the five teams.

SO I don't see anything as clear... except Cortland is #1 and SUNIT and New Paltz are out of it with 8 losses to date...

Sunday scores...

SUNYIT 21 D'Youville 0
SUNYIT 6 D'Youville 2

Brockport 11 Oswego 1
Brockport 7 Oswego 6

Oneonta 6 Fredonia 2
Oneonta 10 Fredonia 1

plus Cortland swept St. Joseph's (LI) but you already knew that

FINAL SUNYAC standings ("Round up the usual suspects")
Cortland          14-0
Oneonta          9-5
Brockport         7-7
Plattsburgh      7-7
Oswego            6-8
Fredonia           5-9
New Paltz         5-9
SUNYIT             3-11

Brockport takes the three seed by virtue of its split with Oneonta. Plattsburgh was swept by Oneonta. Therefore, on Friday, you'll have #1 Cortland vs. #4 Plattsburgh and then #2 Oneonta vs. #3 Brockport. I believe the 2-3 game will be at the crack of dawn (10:00 AM).

Actually John, different schedule for the SUNYAC tournament this year. First day (Friday) only has two games (12 p.m. - 2 vs. 3; 3:30 p.m. - 1 vs. 4). No one is eliminated on the first day. Day 2 (Saturday) features three games at 10, 1 and 4. Sunday is still noon, with the "if necessary" game to follow.

Fran,

Thanks for the update on the schedule change... I think it is great idea to only play two games on Friday and not have anyone eliminated that first day.  It was always tough for the teams to reach the tournament and then be 2 games and out the first day.  Also, it is good for the Cortland ecomomy, with more people staying overnight.   ;D

And very, nice that the first game doesn't start until noon... 10:00 was pretty early to have to drive all the way out from Buffalo...

Well as usual we have the same 4 teams in the conference tournament.  How many years running has this been?  I like the new schedule better as well.. LL does it that way also.

This will be the 6th year running that it has been the same 4 teams making the annual trip to Wallace field.....last time it wasn't these 4 was in 2002 when Plattsburgh was a SUNYAC provisional member and Utica-Rome made the tourney.

Going into it Cortland is by far the favorite to add yet another SUNYAC title to their Trophy case, but is there any thoughts on who might be able to pull an upset. It'll be interesting to see how the pitching matchups set up as well. 

Friday's Matchups

#2 Oneonta vs #3 Brockport    at Noon
#1 Cortland vs #4 Plattsbrugh at 330

I have only seen one of the teams play this year.. Brockport.. they looked alright.  I heard Plattsburgh is down a little this year.  I just can't see how any team will be able to knock off Cortland twice.. Anything is possible but I see Cortland running away with this one..
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: HotSoupTrio on April 28, 2008, 04:36:18 PM
I think it is going to be a very interesting tournament. If Plattsburgh throws Kelley, they could beat Cortland. He has some very good stuff. I've got to assume that Cortland is going to throw Ratliff. But Coach Brown has been unconventional before, case in point throwing Bilyk against Brockport two years ago in the #1 vs. #4 games.

The Brockport-Oneonta game is going to be interesting. Does Oneonta throw hard throwing Freshman, Filak or throw Juedes who has been there before? What about Brockport? Who throws for them Mascari, Maxwell or Shannon?

Hopefully it turns out to be a competitive weekend with some good games.

Is there going to be a broadcast of any of these games?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on April 28, 2008, 05:35:11 PM
baseb13....i also think Cortland will win it again this year, but i dont see it being as easy as you're making it sound.  Cortland played a ton of close conference games this yr even though they went 14-0. They may be most vulnerable at this point riding such a big winning streak going into the tourney.  Not to take anything away from what C-state has accomplished this season, i just dont see them be as unbeatable as they have been in the past 3 years.  Either way hopefully there will be some good baseball played this weekend.

Post by: StarvinMarvin on April 28, 2008, 07:52:07 PM
Johnny, what makes you think cortland is more beatable this year than previous years?  the fact that maybe you saw them play one or two games and they didn't impress you.  go look on the schedule of any of the top teams in the country and you won't see them blowing out every team they play, that's baseball.  so if you're judging cortland based on close games in the conference then keep this in mind.  for all but one of their conference games, three of the four weekend starters have been freshman (Assman, Mahay, and Ratliff along with soph Tone).  Jweid, Hooper (4 inn.) and Blanco who are three of their best arms haven't pitched at all in conference but are back now and ready to go for the tournament.  Hooper, who is a senior, started one game for cortland in conference and again the rest were by all freshman and a soph.  with these other guys added to the mix we'll see how vulnerable cortland is, good luck it should be an interesting tournament.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BaseB13 on April 28, 2008, 08:01:19 PM
I've got to agree with Starvin on this one.  Anything can happen, and I'm not saying it's impossible that another team won't win, but I'd be shocked.  Plattsburgh from what I've heard is somewhat down compared to past years.  I've seen Brockport play and they're not a bad club by any means, they've had some tough close losses, but I think they've been better in the past as well.  Not familiar with Oneonta at all this year.  I will say I never like a team riding a big winning streak in to an elimination tournament.  However, I do like the fact that Cortland's conference games have been close.  Conference tournament games are generally dogfights because of the huge stakes so having had many close games in the past is the best practice for high pressure tournament games.  I think that's a good thing in a way.  We'll see though. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on April 28, 2008, 08:24:56 PM
I too agree with you BaseB13, to win that many games in a row and knowing how little it takes in the game of baseball to lose a close game regardles of opponent says something about a team.  In years past, Cortland has a had a bad loss somewhere on their schedule as most teams do but this year their losses have come to two NJAC opponents (TCNJ twice and Rowan once) but have also beaten two NJAC opponents (Montclair twice and William Paterson once).  They have beaten some very good teams this year like Wheaton twice and Johns Hopkins and Ithaca for example.  The teams in the SUNYAC tournament this year have had their moments but are all solid and can beat cortland on any given day but it's going to take quite an effort.  Cortland may not have a Dougher this year but they are as deep and balanced on both sides of the ball as you'll find.  They can match up with anyone.  A righty lineup, a lefty lineup, speed off the bench, solid D, excellent starting pitching and the bullpen has really taken form with Potrikus being lights out.  I'm not saying that they're unbeatable but this year's team might be better than last year's.  They have a bunch of contributors instead of three or four guys who they rely on and stand out statistically.  Top to bottom they're just solid.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on April 28, 2008, 09:14:17 PM
theres no way Cortlands team this year is better than last year.....losing the likes of Maycock, Robinson, Basnight, Dougher, Zgorzelski. Facing that lineup with the likes of a Dougher on the mound is pretty daunting task. 

Starvin i was definately impressed with Cortland, but I just don't think there unbeatable....you make my point for me. They have 3 freshman pitching conference games for them and played a lot of close games. The last few seasons they would have been burrying teams in the conference.  I just don't see Cortland running away with it.  If you read my post i said i think Cortland will win it again this year....either way im excited to see what happens 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 28, 2008, 09:36:24 PM
I think Tone pitches the first game for Cortland, Kelley for Plattsburgh, Maxwell for Brockport and Juedes for Oneonta!
You have to go with your #1 guy on day 1 in a Double elim format! The losers bracket will be no fun for any team except Cortland who just keeps rolling out quality pitcher after quality pitcher!

Lets face it, Cortland is the only team that stands a chance if they lose in the 1st round.

I agree with Mahvin, this is as deep/diverse a Cortland team that I have ever seen!

Having said that, Cortland is beatable like always with an outstanding pitching performance, some timely hitting and a few bounces!
Should be an outstanding Tournament, I hope the weather gets better!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: adversity on April 29, 2008, 02:15:30 PM
I have attended many SUNYAC games this year and it is no surprise that Cortland is once again favored to win the torunament.  Their line up top to bottom is impressive and pitching around any one of them is no option as they all have the ability to hit one out of the park (23 HR as a team).  Once on the base paths do not look for Cortland to slow down as they steal their way to a win with great team speed (Especially K. Dimino). 

That being said, I am also impressed with the pitching staff that Brockport has put together towards the end of the season.  Shannon, Mascari and Maxwell are all quality pitchers who have been in pressure games before.  Freshman Steve Locke and Kris Getzke have stepped up as well combining for a record of 7-1.  All have been shown to go deep into games, as is needed as the bullpen has struggled.  Seniors Matt Beach and Dan Ferraro have been the main go to guys and both have had quality outings, along with some poor performances.

I plan to be in Cortland to watch the entire tournament and I look forward to seeing some very quality baseball.  It would be great to see someone other than Cortland win the tournament and represent the conference in regionals as Cortland has proven they belong there with or without a tournament win.

Hey adversity, I bet you didn't know your email address is on your account and judging from that e-mail address you are either Matt Beach or its a heck of a coincidence.
"I have attended many SUNYAC games this year" I hope so, you played in 14 of them!

Matt, I would concentrate on the games this weekend and leave the d3baseball.com to the washed up guys. Go get some extra BP or defensive work!
Good luck this weekend kinda, I played for Cortland 93-95!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 29, 2008, 02:55:42 PM
Who will pitch for each team is going to be very interesting... as there are options on each staff.  Does anyone think that who has pitched against a team already play into the decision a coach will make?

And while Cortland has to be the favorite going in based on the undefeated conference record and high national ranking... I think it is wide open as one game by a pitcher or two (good or bad) can change the dynamic of what happens.

There has been a lot of talk about the Cortland pitching... but looking at the conference statistics I have a question about the outfielders and the eventual All-Conference team selections.  This is probably answered best by one of the conference SID's... and I know that Fran does read this, so if he isn't already at one of the weekend venues, perhaps he can chime in to clarify...  My question is: Are there any minimum standards for the All-conference selections?  Games played/started, AB's per game, etc...  And then are the defensive stats/ability taken into consideration?  As they aren't listed on the conference only stats...

The reason I ask is Cortland has started 7 different outfielders in the conference games... with only two of them starting more then half the conference games... Only Mike Avery (11 starts, .308 in 39AB's – that is lowest BAvg. among the Cortland outfielders in conference games, with 2 - 2B, 1 - 3B and 3 RBI's) and Anthony Coromato (8 starts, .417 in only 24 AB's, 1 - 2B, 1 - HR, and 8 RBI's) have started in more then half the conference games.

Anyone have any thoughts on who the AC outfielders may be?

I think one of them has to be Dan Randle from Oneonta... .396 BA, (5 2B, 1 HR & 9 RBI and a.563 slug pct, and .434 OB pct...  but other then that I have no idea.  Especially if there are qualifying minimums to take into consideration!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 29, 2008, 08:53:49 PM
Cortland 7 Cazenovia 3

Cortland has won 29-straight games. There may be a rematch in the NCAA Tournament believe it or not. Cazenovia hosts this weekend's NEAC tournament as the number one seed. They split the regular season series with second-place Keystone, last year's tournament champion. The winner gets an auto-bid into the tournament and will more than likely play in Auburn.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on April 29, 2008, 09:10:41 PM
Id have to say right now the AC outfielder's would be as follows

1st team
Perham      Brockport
Randall      Oneonta
Basile         Fredonia
O'Connor   Oswego
Thomas      SunyIt


2nd team
Jarvis        Plattsburgh
Shaffer     Oswego
Avery        Cortland
Gentzke    Brockport
Schwind    Plattsburgh

My bad on the defensive stats... they are farther down the page.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 29, 2008, 09:34:45 PM
Mostly the same names I came up with...   a few comments:

I think Avery would make it even with just a .308 BA when you factor in his defense (1.000 Field pct) Average may keep him on second team.  With playing the most games in the OF for Cortland he was the main outfielder in the top teams lineup.

Also, I would put Coromato on the first team even with only starting the 8 games.  His .417 average, .583 slug Pct and .500 OBP are all in the top of the league... and he did start more then half the games...

And I agree that Perham will end up on the first team in some capacity, I'm not sure it will be as an outfielder.  He only played 4 games there.  He was 3B for 4 and DH'd for the other 6... so I would think he would be the first team Utility of DH.

Of course, we still don't know if there are any minimum thresholds that have to be met when this is voted on by the coaches.   I would use a standard of you have to start in at least half the games... and if you played multiple spots you would be looked at as the one position where you played the most at first and then as a secondary possibility consideration in the others or Utility.

Any other comments on Outfielders?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 30, 2008, 11:22:20 AM
All Sunyac
I am almost positive all conference is voted on by only the coaches and stats don't really play a factor as far a minimum BA or w/l or era.

Each coach can vote for players from other teams and they can't vote for their own players. Whoever has the most votes is on the team.

Its nice to make the all sunyac team but like most all other all-star teams, there are always a few left off that deserve to be on!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 30, 2008, 12:38:35 PM
Scuba,

I beleive that you are correct and that is the process... The criteria that the coaches use for their selections are the statistics in the conference only games, NOT the entire season.  Fran made that clear last year after there was some discussion about the selections.

And I'm sure that they do put thier personal feelings into who they vote for too... as well as using the conference statistics.


To clarify my comment about Perham... I think that he will definitelybe on the first team.  And didn't mean to sound as if I don't think he is derserving as an outfielder.  Based on my loose criteria of having started more then half the confernce games... he would qualify, but would be looked at first as a DH since he played more games there.  However, if the case was to be that someone who is also very strongly deserving of first team was another candidate as DH (say Murphy from Fredoina) then you could look at those two in other postions they played in conference games... and Perham would be compared with the outfielders and third baseman.  He compares very vfavorably with any of the outfielders, DH's and thrid baseman... And what ever postion, he is a first teamer in my book. 

Great season Jared!  Keep it up...
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 30, 2008, 02:44:10 PM
Jared Perham definately deserves to be on the 1st team, he is another kid I coached against in American Legion. Real nice kid and a good player.

As far as coaches and who they vote for, they definately call each other up and talk up guys to other coaches.
The criterion is very loose and thats the way its going to continue because its soooo hard to remember who was on the other team when you are trying to coach your own team. The exception is when a kid has a day against you and you def. remember him then.

Any thoughts on who pitches what game this weekend?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: sunyacguru on April 30, 2008, 10:15:10 PM
i think jeudes for oneonta, mascari for bport, pretty sure kelley already threw against cortland but hes the only pitcher for pburgh who can give them a chance, and i dunno what joe brown will do cause i dont think he likes to run pitchers out against teams that they have already thrown against. With him having a deep staff he might run someone out there that pburgh hasnt seen. Only other possibility is maybe the Filak kid for oneonta instead of jeudes.

Any First team Sunyac predictions for all the posistions including pitchers?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 01, 2008, 07:47:47 PM
I'll take a shot at it... I am going to say that to qualify you need to have started more then half the conference games.  And then you are considered in the position that you started the most games first, and then secondarily in other positions that you played at least 2 games in.

With that as my guideline, and based on the statistics from ONLY the conference games:

This is what is listed in each column below.
1) Games started in that position/total conference games started
2) Batting Average (top15 rank in conference)
3) Extra base hits (2B/3B/HR)
4) RBI's (top 15 rank in conference)
5) Slugging percentage (top15 rank in conference
6 On base percentage (top15 rank in conference)

Two more little tweaks in the typing and column alignment.

For Vitalne, he has 15 RBI's and is tied for second inthe conference... somehow I got some spaces between the digits 1 and 5

For outifelder Wes O'Connell... he started 10 confernece games, not 0... must have just not typed the 1.

Just want to be clear with the numbers as its hard enough to read with the columns misaligned.

cortland 15 pburgh 7, cortland knocked kelly out of the game in the 3rd by andy gardner blasting two balls of him one on his forearm. They put 5 up on him in the 3rd with a costly error by plattsburgh. After that cortland put a number up in every inning off pburghs relief. Cortland really showed its ability to just flat out outslug a team today. Tomorrow is brockport vs pburgh early followed by cortland oneonta after.

13-4 Cortland over Oneonta. Matt Tone 13 k's in 6.2 innings of work.
Oneonta struck out 15 times all together, not a good way to win a ballgame!

No more thoughts on the conference teams... until they come out?

Interesting weekend, two good and close games between Brockport and Oneonta... and the others, well that explains the lack of traffic on here.

Three SUNYAC and two Empire 8 teams in the ECAC's... anyone think a sweep of that tournament will do for any of the teams what it did for SJF last year?

Another decent SUNYAC tournament.....

Once again it just comes down to pitching. Cortland runs out 12 guys who would be top notch front end guys on any other team. Close the gap on pitching and then maybe then maybe the SUNYAC tournament might have a different outcome.


What is everyone's take on the upcoming ECAC tournament, is a 3-0 record in the tournament going to get anyone in Regionals?

I don't think anyone who could be in the ECAC tournament should have a shot at the NCAA's. Both SUNYAC's have already had a shot and did nothing to prove they deserve to be in. The only way it could be a tournament that could mean something is if Ithaca would go and they won't.  They like the fact the they have a bye into the NCAA's and until the tournament committee makes them do something special they will never put their automatic bid at risk.

I think SJF getting in last year was a mistake.

The ECAC tournament is a losers tournament and they should not be rewarded for the second chance. Also you have to remember that the LL can't be represented in this due to their league tournament being played at the same time.

I would have to say that no one should go from this tournament.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on May 06, 2008, 08:32:30 AM
AlleyCat your definately entitled your opinion but before you start hammering the teams in ECAC's remember how the system works.  Maybe you forgot how good Cortland was??? They didnt win 32 gms in a row by accident, to say the SUNYAC's school did nothing to prove there in is kind of bold statement.  They would have done about as much as the liberty runner up if you ask me and everyone seems to have RPI or UOFR as a lock to make the tourney.

Whether SJF getting in was a mistake or not that fact of the matter was with 14 POOL C bids and 8 regionals the likelihood of NY Region at least recieving 1 bid is pretty damn good....and SJF had a 26-11 In-region record

Your right about Ithaca as well they just go out win some games against weaker competition, and just get a pass into the regionals. This yr they really havent beaten anyone worthy other than perhaps UOFR

All in all some good points AlleyCat, but before you say no one should go from the ECAC you should really think about the big picture, and I to sometimes think of the ECAC tourney as a loser tourney, but with the current system in place its a way for someone in the NY region to say there the best of the rest and maybe earn themselves a spot in the NCAA's
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on May 06, 2008, 08:43:37 AM
Good point, but one league's top 4 (LL) cannot compete due to their league tournament being held on the same weekend. Why should some teams have 2 shots at it and others one?

I think if Ithaca and the another good Empire 8 along with some other teams got together in the ECAC's then it could be a tourney that should receive consideration for a bid.

Nobody is disputing that Cortland is AWESOME! But those other SUNYAC's have many loses compared to some other NY teams.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on May 06, 2008, 09:31:03 AM
Your right its tough that the Liberty League can't compete and Ithaca won't compete.

You say the other SUNYAC's have many loses, but do you realize that the In-region record is main criteria for making the NCAA tourney.

To look at some of the teams Oneonta is 20-12, Brockport 19-10-1, RIT 20-9

RIT also plays a DH today with Oswego if they can win that and go 3-0 in the ECAC that will put them at 25-9...it will be tough for them to be left out with single digit region loses

Looking at some of the other teams RPI is 24-10 and UofR is 26-11 and one of them will definately add two more loses to that record this weekend
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BaseB13 on May 06, 2008, 02:01:43 PM
I'll say this for the ECAC's.  Ideally it would be great if you took the SUNYAC Runner up, the LL Runner Up, the 2nd place E8 team, and the fourth best team, and put them in a double elimintation tournament to determine an at large for NY.  That would be pretty cool.  However, the LL has their own conference tournament that weekend which can't be switched because they have 6 conference weekends.  On top of that many teams choose to simply not participate. 

The fact that ECAC's is now double elimintation does legitimize it a bit more.  However, I am still of the opinion that this year, regardless of who wins it, none of the teams really deserve an at large.  I do think some years it does give each team a chance to shine up their record and prove themselves in an elimintation tournament.  I don't really understand what Oswego is doing in it because regardless of how they do, they have zero chance of participating in NCAA's.  Atleast the other 4 teams could make a potential case for themselves.  I believe this is why an LL team such as Skidmore (20 - 17), who would actually have been a better fit to participate than Oswego (14 - 11), doesn't bother with ECAC's because even if they did win it, they'd have no chance of getting a bid.  And seriously, how does a team only play 25 games?  The weather wasn't that bad this year.  I don't get that at all.

I think the big problem with an at large bid is that no one really stands out amongst the rest of the teams.  Take RPI, UR, SJFC, RIT, Brockport, and Oneonta and they all have some key losses.  UR take 3 of 4 from RPI but loses 2 to SJFC.  SJFC takes 2 from UR but loses 4 to RIT.  RIT takes 4 from SJFC but loses 2 to UR. Oneonta took 2 from SJFC but lost 2 to RIT and failed to make the SUNYAC final.  Could go on and on I suppose.  I wouldn't mind seeing an E8 run the table in ECAC's and getting a Pool B bid over Ithaca but we all know that won't happen.  Frankly I don't see where IC has really separated themselves from these teams either and it'd be great to see them get snubbed so that they'd consider ECAC's next yr.     
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pudge27 on May 06, 2008, 02:23:24 PM
I agree with a lot of that.   Almost anyone that doesn't get a bid can't say too much about it including IC.  I think they're 12-10 outside of the E8 this year.  RPI getting to 30 wins should let them skate in, but they better at least show up for the LL tourney.  I know that the focus is more on in-region games, but don't overlook the "eyeball test".
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on May 06, 2008, 02:50:02 PM
I think  that Oswego getting into the ECAC over Skidmore is a joke. Is the ECAC a Western part of the state tourney or what? I think the way the LL takes teams for the tourney is off anyway considering Skidmore played all of its league games and won more than Clarkson. How does that work?

In region records for LL teams Rochester 26-11 and RPI 26-9.  Both good records in region. Also RPI has some good out of regions wins. Ripon, Augustana, Rhode Island College, Mount Union

If Ithaca was in the ECAC then it would be a legit tourney and Ithaca could actually win their way into the NCAA's instead of receiving the free pass it gets each year. Don't get me wrong, they're usually pretty good, but play with nothing on the line as the other teams that have to do well in their leagues.

If the ECAC tournament field is created like in other sports, you have to declare for the tournament and it's not just a simple list of what teams deserve to be in it. Usually that ends up being the case that everyone in it wasn't going to be playing anywhere else that weekend. I can't speak for Skidmore, but I'd guess they didn't declare for the ECAC tournament because they figured they'd be in the Liberty tournament. And right until the final weekend, it looked like they'd make the conference tournament.

As for Skidmore and Clarkson, Clarkson won the tiebreaker based on its 2-2 record against top-seeded Rochester. Skidmore went 0-4 against Rochester.

Though in regards to the records, I'm not sure why they were tied in the first place since Skidmore went 12-12 and Clarkson was 9-11.

Post by: BaseB13 on May 06, 2008, 11:48:27 PM
The LL has a goofy way of determing places.  Because there are 24 games scheduled, the standings go by winning percentage versus an opponent.  For example,  Clarkson only played two games against Union and 2 games against Vassar going 2 - 0 vs Vassar and 1 - 1 vs Union.  However, Clarkson was credited with a weighted winning percentage of 4 - 0 and 2 - 2 respectively.  Therefore their 9 - 11 comes out as a .500 winning percentage.  Yes compeltely goofy but the reasoning is that teams will not be able to make up all their games.  UR was credited with a weighted 1.000 winning percentage of four wins because they went 2 - 0 versus St Lawrence.  The problem with this is if you're a team, for example UR, their incentive to make up the other 2 games against SLU is non existent because why risk hurting your winning percentage when you'll get credited with 4 wins.  (not saying this happened in this case just using it as an example).  In essence your won/loss record in the LL does not count.  It's your winning percentage versus each opponent.  If you only get one game in versus a team, and you win, you get credited with 4 wins in your winning percentage.  This is why Clarkson got in over Skidmore.  Had Clarkson had to play their remaining 4 games they would have had to go 3 - 1 to qualify (Not guaranteed considering they lost one to Union, although quite possible to pull off).

As for the ECAC's, Skidmore, and every LL team does not put in a desire to play in the ECAC's for one main reason.  (this is an assumption).  If an LL team does not qualify for their conference tournament, especially when 24 games are factored in to this, then 99% of the time even if the LL team did run the table in ECAC's, they still have zero chance of earning a Pool C bid.  (Simple logic would say over 50% of their schedule wasnt strong enough to be in the top 4of the LL, then their record will definitely not be strong enough to get a Pool C bid).  However, SUNYAC teams that have a strong overall record and faired well, but did not win their conference tournament, may still have a slight chance of making it.  E8 teams can use the ECAC's as a conference tournament.  This is why you see SUNYAC and E8 teams participating most of the time, in hopes of hanging on to that last glimmer of hope to attain a bid.  Why Oswego bothered to participate is beyond me.  They could only get 25 games in all year and now they decided to show up for ECAC's? 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on May 07, 2008, 09:04:41 AM
I still don't get the logic of why SUNYAC's deserve 2 chances of getting into the NCAA's while the LL only gets one because of when their tournament is. If it is going to be the E8's tournament then Ithaca should have to go instead of playing 2 out of region games that cannot hurt them. Someone has to make them put it on the line and stop getting a free pass into the NCAA. Like I said before, Ithaca is a good team but they never put it one the line. Someone earlier stated they went 12-10 out of the league this year. That's not good no matter who they played.  It seems like the only ECAC that can help your chances of getting into the NCAA is upstates. That should not be the case, unless all of the best teams can play in it.

Good explanation for the LL teams outside of the tourney, thanks!

For Pool C what is the magic number of wins for getting a look?

Post by: BaseB13 on May 07, 2008, 11:27:05 AM
Alley, the SUNYAC's participating in ECAC's does not necessarily mean they are getting a second chance at an NCAA berth.  It does give them more games to participate in.  This could hurt OR  help their potential Pool C aspirations.  The LL, with the biggest conference schedule chooses to put their emphasis on conference play because of how much is at stake with the automatic bid.  After the LL tournament and ECAC's teams from the LL have just as good a shot as any of the ECAC teams to get in to the tournament.  The ECAC participants do not get an extra look because they played in ECAC's.  Their in region record can be hurt or helped. 

I do wish RIT had been able to split with Ithaca this year.  If RIT had done that, and won ECAC's then RIT would have to receive a Pool B bid over IC.  Those 4 losses to IC is what would make it difficult for RIT to get the Pool B bid even if they do win ECACs.

Bob congratulations also!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on May 07, 2008, 02:22:57 PM
first off Oswego doesnt go on a spring trip so that's 10 games in the bag right off the bat, the reason they probably go to ECAC's is to simply participate in a tourney with something at stake.  There not going to NCAA's and I'm sure they know that, but it doesn't mean that can't go out and win the ECAC.

I wouldn't say there is a magic number of wins needed for an at-large...but look for something around a .675% in-region win pct. or strong owp/oowp
26 or 27 wins are not going to matter if you have 14-15 loses with it

Alley, Baseb13 response sums it up....it's not definately helping the SUNYAC teams.....everyone is allowed to play 40 gms not counting a conference tournament.  They Liberty chooses to play a 24 gm conference schedule, whereas the SUNYAC goes with a 14 gm.  Look at the ECAC's as picking up an extra few games on the schedule that teams didnt get in because of weather

Four Cortland pitchers combine to toss a seven-inning one-hitter in the opener: Chris Bilyk, Nicolas Blanco, Nick DeVito and Justin Mattes. DeVito gave up the only hit.

Cortland will not play again until one week for now in the Auburn, N.Y. regional.

anyone think that these all sunyac teams were chosen badly?
I do agree with alot of the players but there are some instances that just puzzle me.

mike chiapparelli with 28 at bats no extra base hits no rbis makes a UT over say welch who had prolly the best numbers in the conference. Leads to my second point, i dont know how welch didnt make first team. His numbers are better than Zaccardo, and i think every infielder on that list.

I know it wouldnt make other teams happy but i thought the two cortland kids deserved first team pitching, ratliff and tone. They were amazing all season.

I dont remeber seeing adam dimino in many sunyac box scores. Or his brother in that case. How can you give it to kids with 25-30 at bats over kids with 50+ with higher averages and better numbers i just dont get it.

Im going to to imagine that it is all because of coaches not liking certain players or certain teams cause these sunyac teams are not the 2 best possible teams judging by sunyac only performance.

The way these kids are chosen to these teams needs to change because its not fair to some of them who bust it everyday and then a kid who plays half the games gets it over them with worse numbers.


On a good note, yes i have some of them, congrats to maxwell he had one heck of a season, as well as tone who was lights out all year and filak from oneonta, kid is gonna be tuff throughout his career. Goodluck to all the seniors!

Gardner C, Merriweather 3B, Nickel SS, Palmiero 2B, A. Dimino RF, Avery LF, K. Dimino CF

And of course the pitching will be there with Tone being the number one next year

Starvin.... did you just cut that out from one of the posts last year/  It seems like they get a couple of D-I transfers every year.  And now and then one of the top players on another SUNYAC team moves there too.

Guess they look to recruit that route...

I know Brockport got a few transfer kids in... and has a good solid young group returning.  They had 2 or 3 freshman in their starting line up every game last year.  And made a strong late season run... and just fell short.  With a better start they may have gotten a little farther, but there were too many L's in the early season.

If they can replace the bats of Rob and Jared Perham and the innings of Rob and Tim Mascari on the mound they will be in the mix again.

Any one have any information on any of the other SUNYAC teams?  Oswego looked good at the end of last year... Fredonia was in the mix for most of the year... Oneonta has a lot returning and a couple of top young pitchers... What will happen at Plattsburgh minus Welch and Huges bats... Will New Platz be the team that we though they were last year before they fadded and can they replace the presence of Potter in their rotation.

THE BIG question is what will the schedule look like with only 7 teams... and will that new rotation impact what happens by some teams not playing 4 SUNYAC games on a give weekend?

Can't wait to watch it unfold...

Also, Zach Welch from Plattsburgh also signed with the same league but has not been placed on a team yet.  That will happen in the league draft in early 2009.

And Matt Dahliln also from Plattsburgh played last summer in the Frontier League.

One more item and I don't know if it is substantiated or not, maybe someone on here can confirm it... is that Texarkana is looking and talking with Mike Zaccardo about signing with them for 2009 season.  Now that would be interesting, to see Maxwell (08) pitch and Zaccardo (07) catch in a game... they are the last two SUNYAC players of the year.  I would like to see that happen...

Given Zaccardo's brief run in the Phillies system and his exit after one game, I highly doubt him playing at the next level anytime soon. From what I read in a Rochester paper this summer, it sounded like he retired anyways.

I am very excited to see that the brackets were changed for the world series. It was not fair at all for Cortland last year it was a near impossible and uphill battle after the first loss to Trinity. Those two teams should never of played the first game, just doesn't make any sense. Well since it is changed I am anticipating this years Cortland State team i know they lost alot, but I almost positive they have enough talent to fill the holes. Based on what i saw last year they are not weak in any area. There infield will be very exciting to watch. I want to see how Nickel and Palmiero work together this year, they finally will play consistency it should be good. Don't forget about Gardner and Tone who should also contribute to this years chance of winning any title. The outfield will be solid with Mike Avery and the Dimino brothers that should also be fun to watch. Well I'm looking forward to this year good luck Cortland!

Post by: StarvinMarvin on December 17, 2008, 09:16:31 PM
I agree with you banalyst about the WS format and that Trinity vs. Cortland should not have been a first round matchup.  The same can be said for the previous year when Cortland played Kean in the first round in what was basically a one-run ball game that could have gone either way much like Cortland vs. Trinity.   Actually Cortland should have beat Kean but a ridiculous and rare call/ruling was made in the ninth that screwed Cortland.  Cortland has played the eventual national champion in the first round the last two years.  Anyway, I have to disagree with you about Palmiero, doubt he'll be the starter at SS.  He's a decent player and would probably start at a lot of programs but he'll never be the main guy in that program.  You can bank on the fact that a SS was brought in who can hit.  Also, don't forget about Simone, dude can rake and should contribute quite a bit this year.

Well Starvin Marvin I am going to have to disagree with you because if you follow college baseball. I said that Palmiero would play at second base this because of Vittalone's loss and Nickel would play SS. I also said it will be fun to see how those two play together it should be a fun year. If you already haven't heard Cortland was able to get the #1 preseason ranking from collegiate baseball, that is a great honor for a great program. Everyone have a great holidays!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on December 24, 2008, 04:52:16 PM
Well banalyst first of all you didn't specify who would play where.  Second of all it's Vitalone with one t.  Nickel will stay at third, he's capable of playing short but not well enough to do it at the level needed to help a team win a national title.  There's a transfer that's gonna play short and a freshman who's gonna play second.  Palmiero will get his reps but his stick doesn't allow him to play anywhere in the infield consistently, bank it!  You're certainly entitled to your opinion.

Khyle hitting .308 and stealing 28-31 bases is a big part of their offense.  They'll without a doubt find a sufficient player to replace him but I think it hurts when you lose a starter who happens to be your leading base stealer by far.  Next best was 16 stolen bases by Coromato, and he graduated.

They can be good players but it doesn't mean they'll crack the line-up. Some transfers have come in and flourished right away - like the Dimino brothers, Travis Ratliff and Nick Blanco did last season, others take a while before we see what they truly can do. Off the top of my head, Nick DeVito didn't really have a breakout until the 2007 regionals and then he raised his average by almost 30 points last year and did a good job in spot relief.

My favorites will always be the kids that come through the program. The ones where you can see them progress from one stage to the next, guys (of late) like Andy Mead, Jim Dougher, Joey Russo, Johnny Giametta Jr. and Will Groff (wished he'd stuck around as a senior) to name a few.

But college baseball is what it is and I have no problem with transfers, every program has them, some more so than others.

the latest college baseball newspaper mentions some rather impressive transfers for the "big red dragon machine"....

most notably d1 transfer Kevin Jackson (interestingly enough a summer teammate of travis ratlif).

i also like sean bailey at second base for them this year, he comes from a great baseball family, i have known his father skip for many years. should provide an excellent glove for them as well as some timely hitting....

it looks like the machine might be rolling again this year...anything less then a world series title would be a giant let down for joe brown and crew
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on January 06, 2009, 11:19:57 PM
I agree that Jackson is an interesting pick-up since he is a Division-I transfer, hit .318 as a frosh at UMaine and was on the 2007 America East all-rookie team. However, I think you're wrong on Bailey, I don't think he'll see much more playing time than he did in the PSAC at California.

Sean Bailey helping anyone out with timely hitting just makes me want to fall out of my chair,he couldnt hit his way out of a milk carton...defensively he's alright but no joey russo.

How many teams has Joe Brown had in the world series Im starting to begin to think he cant win the big one, which honestly wont make me lose any sleep.

+K on Bailey comment.

I think winning the national championship once you get to Wisconsin is a crap shoot. A lot of it depends on the luck of the draw and how you deal with that luck. Pairings in the first few games are predetermined, like which regional winner will play another and what four-team group they'll be in. I think Cortland's play in the series the past two years has been disappointing but they have showed that they can get there on a regular basis and the players are learning what it takes to win at that level.

The Dragons are still getting to Wisconsin and have made it to the World Series three out of the last four years after missing out in '02 (RPI), '03 (Trinity), '04 (Brockport). With Matt Tone, Nick Blanco, Travis Ratliff and a healthy George Jweid at the top of the rotation, I think this year will be the Dragons best shot to take the title.

Butch,

kind of a low blow attack on Joe Brown, the guy is a proven winner... congrats to him on his NECBL title this summer, a very impressive addition to his resume. any thoughts on JB moving onto a Division 1 job in the near future?

John
your right  winning is a crapshoot and alot of luck must be on your side...The Red Dragon nation will get a national title soon enough...the only competition they really have at regionals is when an out of region team is brought in...they are really the cream of the crop for northeast baseball. they should run away with the SUNYAC again this yr, probably with little slip up

John it was to my understanding that Jweid was done, but I'm not sure anyone know about his status.

I've heard Jweid's name bandied about in summer baseball discussions so I would assume that he'll be good to go at some point this spring. I can't imagine him being listed on a roster if he's not going to be healthy.

Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 07, 2009, 09:04:00 PM
In regard to Cortland (Brown) not being able to win it all, let's understand some things first.  With the most recent format, you lose game one and you're walking uphill on ice with skates from there on out.  In 2000, Cortland beat Montclair in game one and they've been the only team to come back from a game one defeat.  In Cortland's last three WS appearance which would be '05, '07, '08, Cortland has drawn arguably the best team in the country for their first round matchup.  Basically what I'm saying is that they haven't drawn a Cinderella in game one which isn't always a guaranteed win but you feel more confident playing a team like that.  Wooster ('05), Kean ('07) and Trinity last year with Kean and Trinity being the eventual champions as Cortland's first round matchup.  All three of those first round matchups were one run ball games and I think Wooster might have been a two run game possibly.  My point is that each of those games could have gone either way and a win completely changes things much like a loss in the opposite direction.  To win the whole thing out there a lot of stuff has to go your way, it's not easy!  Like any sport the head coach gets too much credit and too much blame.  Joe Brown has had some very good help along the way to get that program to where it is, let's not forget that.  However, it's not about Cortland not being able to win the big game, it's about catching a break which they will eventually do I believe.  Other than last year's team, Cortland has always battled in Appleton regardless of the game one outcome and that's what they should be judged by.

just catching up on reading...  a couple points.


John, wasn't Ratliff a freshman and not a transfer last year?

also, cudos to Butch for asking about the other teams in the conference.  We all seem to know about Cortland and who will play there.  and its easy to talk about them.  Any input on other teams will be apprecaited.

Also, how can anyone say that (paraphrase it) - anything less then a world series championship will be a dissappointment to Cortland?  In my opinion, that is just not a fair statement to them.  Yes, they have a shot at winning that... but so do about 20 ohter teams.  So that is a bit heavy to put on their shoulders at this point of the year.

OK, back to reading... more to catch up.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on January 12, 2009, 12:31:48 PM
About Cortland winning it all... Starvin marvin is right.  You lose (or win) a game while there and it can change everything.  Last year, they lost an extra inning game to Trinity... on of all things a passed ball.  Trinity went on to win the whole thing... that loss seemed to take the wind out of Cortland.  They just didn't look like the same group in the next game.

That one game flips around and its a completely different series.

The pressure is on everyone at the regionals... once you get to the WS its a crapshoot and luck of the draw and the bounce of the ball can impact everything!

I'm going to miss following Brockport to every game... but will still be rooting for them.  While I think they've lost a lot with Rob, Tim, Jared and dan graduating.  They have some solid young guys and from what I saw in the Fall some good new players too.  So I expect them to be there again at the end of it.   I see the places of 2 - 6 being a real dogfight as anyone can beat anyone else.  The teams that emerge will still ahve to deal with Cortland in the tournament. 

One thing too... Brockport has been the only team that has beaten Cortland at SUNYACs in the last 5 years.  5 times total... if anyone else can beat them a time or two, there would be different teams from the conference going to the regionals.  And because of Cortland's strength the conference gets two teams in the NCAA tournament.  SO here is hoping that someone other then Cortland can win it this year... and SUnayc gets 2 teams in!!!

Can't wait to watch the year unfold.

Losing the Dhimino's in the OF won't hurt offensively that much seeing 1 of them didn't play much at all last yr and jason simone will hit between .400 and .450 this yr! The kid can rake and rakes lefties, righties, u put em out there he rakes em! It gives simone and zlinicki more innings and they both probably deserve them anyhow!

As far as JB's record at the world series is concerned, its absoutely anyone's series when u get out there because everybodies capable of winning it. If they(C-state)  don't get the ridiculous runner interference call vs kean game 1 2007, they def win that game and probably the world series! 2008, Kiely and Trinity day 1! Back to back yrs, 2 of the toughest opponents! Bottom line is, Lose game 1 and its a long road! Like starvin said, Monclair is the only team to come through the losers bracket after a game 1 loss and cortland gave them that loss in the 2000 ws!

JB aint playing he's coaching and the players have to produce when they get out  to appleton for c-state to have a shot. All it takes is a couple guys getting hot at the plate, a little d and P's throwing strikes! We will get a ws title, hopefully sooner than later!

Scuba is correct on the loss of the brothers (while they are talented players) not hruting as much because of the depth they have.  they will lose the speed, but they will get average and power...

Thanks John, I wasn't aware he had been somewhere else...

AND, I thought my comment on hoping someone other then Cortland wins the SUNYAC would have started some conversation about it.  But I guess that other then the coaches and players on the other teams are the only ones who think they can win it.  No response here seems to say everyone thinks its a lock.... 

Personally, I would like to see a 2 or three team race to host and then see some great games at the SUNYAC tournament.  We will see... in the past few years there have been some real good games in the tournament.  AND as I said, if someone other then Brockport can beat Cortland (and in some cases at least stress them a bit..) then the conference will get 2 teams in.

I think that the strenght of Cortland on the national stage is great... and good for the conference (if someone else can step up and win it).  However, the winning of the title year after year actually hurts some of the other teams that have been competative at a high level... because only one team wins the title.  Outsiders see a dominant team and doesn't give any credit to the other good teams... and just writes them off.  Brockport, Oneonta and Plattsburgh have had some good teams in the last few years... and got very little recognition for it.  Borckport got more then the other two in the polls becasue of some wins... but the other two got very little.  And were always a tough game to anyone, Cortland included.

Its great to be talking baseball... hard to believe with the single digit temps on the way!

Can't wait for the first pitch.... and hope that the top four teams in NY this year are from the SUNYAC!!!

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on January 13, 2009, 12:59:03 PM
There's always been good games during the regular season and teams have gone into Wallace Field and played cortland very tough. There's been a couple times recently when we didn't know until the final day of the season where the SUNY tournament was going to be. That being said, Joe Brown's teams always seem to find a way to win and then get the pieces to fall in the correct spots to host the conference tournament. I can remember a few times when I was there about wondering if I was going to have to cover the tournament in Brockport or Oneonta.

And tournament games have been generally close as well. While cortland has certainly dominated by winning the title, it's always decided in tighter games and not always a beatdown (though some years it is). I don't have the time or energy to look at the tournament results but the finals and a lot of the tournament games are one or two-run games. One year I remember Oneonta and Plattsburgh I think playing a 1-0 game in the tournament opener (the dreaded 10:00 am game). It's not that the league is one-sided in the tournament, the other teams can't seem to find a way to win like cortland does (unless they're playing Brockport in the first round LOL).

Post by: baseball13 on January 16, 2009, 11:29:16 AM
You can't argue too much with Myers and Tone as Player and Pitcher of the Year respectively.  But I think Kelley from Plattsburgh could challenge Tone.

I think after Cortland, Fredonia, New Paltz, Plattsburgh, and Oneonta fight it out with only one of those teams losing out.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: HotSoupTrio on January 16, 2009, 01:12:20 PM
gotta agree with the board on tone being pitcher of the year, i think he has got to be in the top 5 in the country and has to be in the running for national pitcher of the year...

i really think POY is wide open....myers from oneonta, avery and gardner from cortland, gentzke from brockport all seem to have apotential shot. Just going to have to see how they unfold on the field.

My guess for final rankings and who will be playing for the SUNYAC championship
1. Cortland
2.ONeonta
3.Fredonia
4.Brockport

Perhaps look for Oswego to make a push at the SUNYAC this year as well.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: HotSoupTrio on January 16, 2009, 03:24:03 PM
Butch,
pretty strong words about palisin...I would have to agree with you that he might not know his elbow from his you know what on the baseball field. He did have some big wins taking two from the Golden Eagles last year. He might have even used some underhanded tactics by telling New Paltz not to come out there and play and then after New Paltz threw their number 1 and 2 in a doubleheader sweep by Brockport, called them back and told them to come up. Sidenote-pretty dumb by NP coach to accept the offer after being cancelled on.

I may have to retract my last post about Fredonia gettin in to the tournament (what was i thinkning, it must have slipped my mind who was running the team). Fredonia had an excellent opportunity last year, having to only win one game ontheir home field against Oneonta on the final day of the season. Palisin and Fredonia just do not know how to win the big game because they have never been there before. Maybe last years outcome might have helped them grow a bit?

as far as who else can win the sunyac, nobody comes to mind besides cortland!
not for nothing but cortlands platoon guys and 2nd string dudes could of won the sunyac for the past 2 yrs. not putting down the other teams, but cortland is just that deep yr in and yr out!
u want a formula to beat cortland in a tournament setting? u better have 2 shut down guys on the bump and have the ability to play small ball!
IMO who makes the sunyac tournament, a shot in the dark:
Cortland
Oneonta (ferchen does a good job and is a decent baseball guy)
Brockport (the players are pretty good, rochester has excellent hs baseball but beach is   to inexperienced to win the sunyac and not enough arms to compete w cortland in the long run. they are better than the rest of the sunyac by default)
Stick anybody else u want in the sunyac tournament to be 2 and out, not enough quality arms on any of the other teams to be a factor!

Post by: HotSoupTrio on January 21, 2009, 10:34:32 AM
reading through most of these posts it seems like everyone is ready to hand the conference right over to Cortland. Sure they must be the early favorites, but i think we might already be counting out to many teams. On paper I'm not to sure that this Cortland pitching staff is that great. Tone is as good as it gets at the top in the conference, don't get me wrong. After that there are some question marks. Ratliff is very beatable, a well disciplined team at the plate can knock him around. What can they expect from Jweid after a year of doing nothing? Looking at it on paper it does not seem like they have the dominant pitching that they had a few years back with Dougher, Hubbs, Burnett, Chyr, McPartland. This might be a year where the offense might have to do just a little more.

We all know the old saying that good pitching beats good hitting and i think that there are quality starters within the SUNYAC that could slow down that lineup, Juedes, Filak,Shannon, Gentzke, Kelley are just a few that come to mind.

I might have ruffled a few feathers here, but i think that all of us posters might be a little premature to hand the league over to cortland, already. Who knows i could be completely wrong and they could sweep through the conference unscaved.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: wetsu215 on January 21, 2009, 02:48:14 PM
Without knowing for sure if Coach Brown brought in a stud to partner with Tone and figuring that Jweid is probably not the same, I still don't see where anyone matches up on paper.  Hey, any given Sunday, I believe in that but to try to get involved in the conversation...

Ratliff out-dueled Shannon at B'Port last year, 7 IP 1 run and threw 4 innings, 1 ER when the two teams met again later in the year and in that game C-State put up ten in 3 innings when Gentzke got the start. Also completely shut down Keystone's lineup.

Don't forget Rowlands picked up wins against Ithaca, Fisher and out-matched Kelley in the Plattsburgh game when Blanco picked up the win.  You're right Butch, Blanco had a huge start against RPI but he was pretty nasty from the way his numbers look.  He's got to fit in somewhere for '09.  Assman can still beat any four seed, especially if its say...Oswego. 

Regular season championship is locked up but as far as the SUNYAC's - Oneonta is the only team with the pitching to match but they can't swing it.  The most important thing and what the last couple posters forgot is that Cortland out hit any team in that conference by a large margin and you can't really think that's going anywhere.

Potrikus is comparable to Filak if you ask me and how does Mahay fit in now that Serio, Baker and Mattes are out of the bullpen.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on January 21, 2009, 04:30:29 PM
Trio, when you included Chyr as a dominant pitcher you really showed your hand.  He was hardly dominant, need to rethink that statement.  It's wishful thinking to believe what you're saying and I applaud you for that but let's face it, nobody's beating Cortland.  You can speculate all you want as to who they have but you and I know that once the season starts, you're gonna have dudes pumpin cheese at the knees all day my friend.  Believe me, there has been more done with far fewer talented staffs in the past at Cortland than this one and that's a fact.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: HotSoupTrio on January 22, 2009, 10:55:16 AM
Starvin,

Dominant may not have been the appropriatte word to decribe Chyr, but solid and efffective are two that would work. For four years at Cortland, he was one of your boy JB's top guys out of the bullpen for probably 3 of them.

Quick look at his overall stats there

ERA 2.78
Record 9-2
App 56
IP 124.2

Pretty solid numbers for a four year career. I would have thought that someone with such and an extensive knowledge of the Red Dragons would have appreciatted and valued the contribution thats someone like him could provide.

My point in my prior post was not so much to call out names of pitchers that have had stupendous careers for the Red Dragons, but to show you that in the past Cortland has had a solid rotation that could be counted on to go no worse than 12-2 in SUNYAC play. IMO i do not feel that on paper Cortland has a team that can be counted on to steamroll through the SUNYAC's. Sure count Tone to get a win every weekend, put beyond that they may have to work to get their weekend W's.

It is going to be interesting to see how the new SUNYAC format helps or hurts many of the teams.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: wetsu215 on January 22, 2009, 04:33:49 PM
What's the difference in the staff from last year again?  I'm confused this is a team that was 14-0 in SUNYAC play.

In order by IP - Tone, Ratliff, Blanco, Hooper, Mahay, Assman, Rowlands, Potrikus, Serio and Baker.

Of that group Hooper and Serio combined for 4 starts.  That means from last year's top ten they return 6 from the lowest BAA category and 35 wins.  Big losses but Baker got hit last year, Serio and Hooper were great but this doesn't compare to '07 when they lost Zgorzelski, Dougher and essentially, Jweid for this past season.

Post by: D3NewYorkBaseball on January 22, 2009, 11:53:06 PM
Im currently a high school baseball coach from the Binghamton area. HAve sent a few guys (13) to play throughout the SUNYAC. Have had guys walk on at some of the better schools in the conference as well as get recruited to play at some of the lesser schools of the conference. Have followed the conference pretty closely over the last 8-10 years. Wouldn't call myself a SUNYAC wiz, but hope I can provide something to the board.

Seems to be alot of talk on the boards about Cortland, does anyone have any insight to teams such as Brockport or Plattsburgh. They have been mainstays in the conference tournament the past couple years but it seems like they have been neglected on the boards.

It seems to me that schools such as Brockport and Oneonta who always come up a game or two short in the end need to increase their recruting efforts. It is an understatement to say that Cortland has the best talent, but that is only because they have established a program in which high school kids want to be involved in. Coach Brown has always been very active in the recruiting process. Having been to several showcases over the past decade, rarely did i see any coach go out of his way to recruit then i did Coach brown. The efforts by other coaches need to be extended.

Coach Brown seems to be the type who maximizes the talent around him. I have had players play for him and they have all said the same thing, he has a desire to win like knowone else. Having viewed his practices first hand, the guy really knows how to game plan.

My question to the board is what separates him from the other coaches, and their program from everyone elses. I know that the facilities that Cortland have are nice and may even be the best in the conference, but why are they able to bring in the best talent year after year while basically all the other schools in the conference have the same constraints and abilities?

Looking forward to this season....Thanks

D3NewYorkBaseball......

Welcome Coach!!!!

Our son is a junior at Univ. of Rochester, and has started his first two years.  When we traveled out east between his junior and senior years of high school, he also participated in a showcase in Binghamton.  Was contacted by UR, and we eventually visited the campus.  Did he want to play at Cortland?  Didn't know anything about Cortland, or Ithaca, or Brockport, and especially UR either.  He knew he wanted to get the opportunity right away to play.  The other factor, and main one at that, was to get an education that offered the academic curriculum he wanted to pursue.  Those three schools mentioned didn't really offer that in depth course of study, Biomedical Engineering.

O.K., enough about that!  I would really suspect that if any kid wanted to play in college, right away, or almost right away, that they would look at the schools within their geographic area that offered them the education they wanted, plus get to play for a high quality program.  Unfortunately, most players choose the baseball teams record of acheivement over academic acheivement.  I know this is not totally true, but pretty close, and especially if these kids are not true D1 candidates or otherwise.  There are many D3 players that I'm sure are very capable of playing D1 ball, but maybe they just felt the opportunities were greater at the D3 level, plus don't forget the education.

I guess to give a simple answer, reputation has a lot to do with how successful a coach is with recruiting.  UR had some good success last season, the best in awhile, and the abundance of recruits along with some transfers, has really bolstered the team for this coming season.  Time will only tell.

Your point of spending time recruiting talent, and then molding that talent into a winning team, certainly speaks volumes about the continuing success at Cortland and Coach Brown.  And from what I hear coming from some of the coaches in the area, he is a really good guy!!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: bball 14 on January 24, 2009, 09:48:56 AM
we all know the success  of the Cortland program.  As far as the education part of the process is concerned, the one thing that attracted us as parents was the committment from the cortland athletic dept. as a whole, to monitor their student athletes grades and study habits offering help when needed.  Coach Brown does a great job relaying that info to the athlete and parents.  Even the team itself helps motivate each other when it comes to their studies and keeping their grades up.  I have nothing but good things to say about the cortland baseball experience for my son, and coach browns program on and off the field.   its no wonder they can attract quality players year after year.... just my 2 cents 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BoomerIL on January 24, 2009, 04:27:34 PM
bball 14.....

Same scenario at UR.  Besides baseball, I'm sure Coach Brown has also helped his players like Coach Reina has in areas other than academics.  The network that these coaches have is tremendous, and the opportunities these players have, if they need help and ask, is also tremendous.  I really feel that a student athlete has a much better chance of success later on in the work place than most of the non-athlete students if they are fortunate enough to have coaches like Brown and Reina who stay involved with their players.

Let's make no mistake about it, Coach Brown is a solid coach but he inherited an elite program.  Steve Owens at LeMoyne is the one who laid the foundation and Brown is reaping the benefits from his hard work for the most part.  Yes, it still takes quite an effort to keep a program successful but it's not like the head coach is the only one who has anything to do with it, there's more than meets the eye to any program's success.  I've always felt that a head coach gets all the credit but has to live with all the blame too, not an easy task.  Again, the coach may be the face of the program but his/her success has a great deal to do with who or what they surround themselves with.  I guess my point is that Brown's success isn't so much that he's this great coach but rather he walked into a no lose situation in many ways.  Very few coaches in DIII or DI let alone inherit what he did.  A tremendous reputation, facilities, alumni support, solid staff etc.

Starvin,

Well said... inheriting is a big thing.  But so is maintaining what you've inherited.  I think we all agree coach Brown is a good baseball person, and wants to take care of the players once they are in the program.  There are good baseball people who take care of their players at every SUNYAC school.  Sometimes the educational strengths of a school make it hard to achieve championships, and even harder to sustain success once it is achieved... but each school has its strenghts and weaknesses.

I think that despite the same team winning most years, the conference is very competitive... at least at the top.  The top 3-4 teams do very well against other strong programs in their non-donference schedule.  I see the same team winning the conference year after year as one of the large stumbling blocks that the SUNYAC teams face to get recognition in the polls.  In many cases, a team wins the conference year after year becasue their opposition is very weak.  In this case, I think that Brockport, Oneonta, Plattsburgh in particular are strong probrams... its just that Cortland is a VERY strong program that players flock too.  The one year that Cortland didn't win the SUNYAC, Brockport went on to win the regional and go to the World Series.  That shows that while yes, Cortland dominates... the otehr SUNYAC teams are very competative and capable... in my opinion it would be healthy for the conference as a whole to have someone else win it now and then.  And believe me, they all try to do just that...  I've said it before, and I will say it again.  If someone other then Brockport could beat Cortland in the tournament they we would have different teams representing the confernce now and then.  It has not happened in at least the last 5 years...  Either way, I would love to see two SUNYAC teame reach the regional and play in the finals.  And no matter who it is, I will root for them if they reach the World Series.  Rob and I went last year to root for Cortland in Appleton... wish they would have won it for all of us!

As for recruiting of the coaches... the coaches in those programs do as much as coach Brown does.  Its just that they can't say come play for us and we will be in the NCAA tournament and have a shot at the World Series.

I have no doubt that Coach Brown at Cortland does a tremendous job given the great success Cortland has achieved.  I also don't doubt that many other coaches could have inherited a program and messed it up completely.  Coach Brown has not.  So kudos to him for doing a great job.  And to many of the coaches at the top of the SUNYAC.  I think what the coach at Plattsburgh has done is great as well.  A brand new program only 5-7 years ago and it's a very competitive program.  Brockport became very competitive over the past ten years as well.  However, I do feel it is significantly easier to recruit to these schools.  In Plattsburgh's first year they had a million dollar field.  The facilities at Cortland are unbelieveable as well.  Not surprising that students would be attracted to such schools that place a very very large emphasis on athletics.  Not to mention many of the main majors at these schools are very athlete driven (Physical Education and Athletic Training).  The ability to get students admitted to these schools is also significantly easier than many schools and the affordability (in-state tuition) factor allows many more students to attend than other institutions.  Because of this it doesnt surprise me that the rosters on many of the top SUNYAC teams are very large.  So while I think these coaches do a tremendous job, I do think there are some advantages to being in their positions.  I suppose that is why I am most impressed by a school like Trinity College that is also based in the Northeast and has extremely rigorous academic standards, winning the national championship.  Another team from this past years World Series, John Hopkins also impresses me immensely as well because of their ability to consistently field a very competitive team despite the smaller pool of athletes to choose from.

Brown is a great recruiter no doubt about it.  But the school is also in an ideal location for NY baseball.  Think about the other SUNY schools.  New Paltz, very little talent comes out of that area.  Brockport and Fredonia, I wouldn't say baseball is prime in the Rochester area.  Plattsburgh is in the north country, not very inviting up there.  Oswego, same deal with the weather.  Oneonta I guess isn't too bad, but it just seems like Cortland being in the middle attracts all.  Again I'm not taking anything away from Brown but the location is ideal for him to recruit out of many areas.

son was invited up there by Coach Brown for an official visit.  It was a fall clinic and he enjoyed it a lot.
Son is an 09 LHP.  For whatever reasons, no further contact was made so perhaps someone else filled the bill better.  Son has other options so it is what it is.  Maybe he will square off against Cortland from the mound of an opponent in the future! :)  Some of his options make that a reasonable happening. In any event, Coach Brown seems to be a great teacher and not only held the attention of the players, but many of the parents too!   The hands on approach that he used at the clinic was wonderful and I think he has to get credit for being a great teacher as well as a great coach.  Even though it doesnt appear that son will be going there, the day I spent watching Coach Brown made me a fan of his and the Cortland baseball program.

Baseball is very much a big deal in the Rochester area, look at how many current and recent Cortland players are from there. Also they are some of the better Cstate players as well.

Agreed tripleplay.. Isn't Cortland's best pitcher out of Rochester?  Seems they always have a couple guys who contribute a lot to the Cortland roster.  Brockport is usually the #2 team in the SUNYAC and they are always loaded with Rochester players as well.  Not to mention SJFC, UR, and RIT are all very respectable every year and have rosters filled with Rochester players.

Not to get away from DIII, but Dupra who plays for Notre Dame and who played at the Cape last summer, is a good representation of talent from the Rochester/Western New York talent.

Having been a head coach for 18 years and living on the strenght of athlete that came into our program, I can say from first hand experience that recruiting from an area is cyclical... every year there are players in all areas, but the depth of talent is what makes an area strong in a particular sport.  That depth is what is cyclical... there are always players in every area.  The question is how many, and what is the competition to attract them to your school.

There was discussion last year about why someone ends up at a Division III program.  while the reasons are endless, most times it has nothing to do with the sport.  That being said, some schools are stronger year in and year out because of the type of academic programs they offer.  While that is a big stereotype, I don't think to many people would argue that in most cases, Physical Education majors are better athletes/ball playrs then music, business or many others. 

I know there are exceptions to that big sterotype.  My son Rob is a perfect example... he attened Brockport, and had a very good career there, but he was not a PE major like I was, he was a Math major and computer science minor (with a 3.75 over all GPA when he graduated). He went to Brockport for a myriad of personal and family reasons... Like a few dozen other D-III players who are playing at D-III schools in NY state, he could have played at and been a major on the field contributor with any D-I program in NY state.  He just chose Brockport because he was comfortable there. So there are exceptions...  being a PE major myself I can say that without it being a snub as I know how difficult the circulum is, you have to want to study it.

Every area has its share of talented ball players, you just need to be their choice of school to attend.  Like BaseB13 says, Matt Tone is from the Rochester area, so are many other top players on both Ithaca and Cortland.  its only a 1.5 - 2 hour drive to either place from Rochester so they are really in their back yard.

In NY, D-III recruiting is harder then D-I because in most cases your base recruiting area is only a few hours drive away from campus... and you have more D-III schools to compete against within that area.  The past few posts mention several competative programs.  AND you still need to overcome the perception of ther recruit that they are gonig to play major leage ball and deserve that D-I scholarship...

If NY was like NC, SC, Georgia etc... in that they have way more d-1 schools than d-3's u would naturally see alot more d-1 baseball players in ny. that being said, there are countless #'s of ny d-3 kids now and in the past that could have played and contributed at an array of d-1's, from the worst in the country to the very best!
demographics is the key here. how or why would a coach from a small d-1 in georgia see, let alone recruit a hs baseball player from syracuse, utica or rochester? he would rather take a home state kid that is just as good, keep the recruiting ties with the local coaches and he is never the wiser. are there ny hs players that could play at d-1's all over the country? yes but the chance of a coach seeing a kid enough, that is not a hard throwing pitcher, to justify throwing $ at them is slim to none! the only way is to expose yourself by attending camps and showcases in southern states or have a coach with some southern contacts that trust that coach quite a bit!

I think that if u are a d-1 player that left ny and u don't like your current situation, cortland is the logical choice when thinking about coming home. proven program, great facilities, win every yr, play the game the right way and a chance to play in a world series! JB does a great job recruiting ny and it also doesn't hurt that the first place d-1 transfers call that want to come back to ny is 607-753-4950. that would be the phone # at the baseball office at cortland! Awesome job JB, keep up the grat work!! SS

Post by: BoomerIL on February 07, 2009, 11:04:51 PM
Good points by all of you.  In addition to that, like 'scuba' stated, the home-grown player is probably easier to get and makes the most sense considering that the costs involved in recruiting players from across country is really starting to limit coaches from attending all the camps, showcases, and games to see the top players.  This is even true for the DI schools.

I think the biggest factor for kids to consider a program like Cortland is first, the baseball and their history, but also having some insight as to whether they will play right away.  Unless a DI is knocking on their door, or you have attended a Perfect Game Showacse and been put on the national radar, or even been drafted out of high school, the chance of playing DI ball right away is so hard.

We had kids from our state, All-Staters, not start right away at a DI school.  So after two seasons, they quit!  If they had gone to a DIII or DII, they would have probably played right away.  No, that's not always the case, but most kids at a DIII also understand that besides baseball, many of the DIII schools provide a superior education, not taking any thing away from the DI's.  Many kids don't have the A-typical body type that a DI school looks for, so they decide to look into a DIII program, plus other factors to numerous to mention here.

You know as well as I do, that players are drawn to winning programs, hence Cortland being the example here.  There are many others.  Do you think that Linfield will get more attention from prospective high schoolers since then were successful in getting to play in the post-season, especially with Coach Brosious?  Absolutely!!  Coach Brown has that reputation, and rightfully so.

Cortland has posted its' 2009 roster.

Nothing shocking really (Dimino brothers are indeed gone) aside from that there's only a couple transfers from upper division schools - Kevin Jackson from UMaine and Andrew Pezzuto from Franklin Pierce. Other than that, the usual transfers from SUNY community colleges including Ulster's Mike Appell and Monroe's Brandon DeRosa just to name a few. There are five captains listed - Rowlands, Potrikus, Zilnicki, Benson and Avery. (Side note - two of the five are four-year guys).

The part about the roster I find interesting is the coaching staff. Assistants now listed as Andy Brown, Andy Mead and Mike Ondrako with Shawn May also on there as a volunteer assistant. Last I knew, May was the head baseball coach at Fabius-Pompey. Anyone know what happened to Craig Kerner? I know Mike Hubbs left a few years ago.

Here's the complete low down:

Mike Appell, Jr., Westbury, NY - four-year starter at Clarke HS down on Long Island, first-team all-state as a senior, was named second-team All-Region XV last season at Ulster CC

Shawn Bailey, Jr., Rochester, NY - out of Webster Schroeder HS, has played at Monroe CC and California, Pa. Son of former MCC coach Skip Bailey

Matt June, Fr., Colonie, NY - Multi-sport star from capital district that played football and baseball as well as indoor track.

Brandon DeRosa, Jr., Fairport, NY - Transfer from Monroe CC, one of the top arms from the Trib's bullpen, had a team-high three saves last year, pitched well down the stretch as team went to JUCO World Series

Kevin Jackson, Jr., Wappingers Falls, NY - Transfer from UMaine, America East All-Rookie team in 2007 with .318 batting average in 41 games, hit just .250 in limited action last year, was part of several very good teams at RCK

Zach Reynolds, So., Yorktown, NY - Transfer from Centenary (NJ), batted .373 for Cyclones last season, was second on team in batting average, hits and defensive assists. He was also named second-team all-conference.

Ed Southworth, Jr., Cortland, NY - Transfer from Alfred State as far as I can tell, pitched and hit during his sophomore season with a 4-3 mound mark and .303 batting average with 24 RBI. He was named all-state while playing at Cortland High

Tyler Forger, Fr., Clayton, NY - True freshman out of Thousand Islands, was named a Player To Watch last spring by the Watertown Daily Times

Andrew Pezzuto, So., Hastings, NY - Transfer from Franklin Pierce, appeared in four games for the D-II Ravens last year, batted .525 as a senior in high school with eight home runs and 34 RBI

Brendan Hourihan, Fr., Yorktown Hts, NY - He was among the leaders last year in lower Hudson county with 56 strikeouts in 52.1 innings pitched as a junior. Last spring, he was named the Section 1 MVP by the Journal News. He also posted a 0.86 ERA for Lakeland HS last spring.

Guys, I seen a lot of these Sunyac players this past summer in the Albany Twilight league, what do you guys think of Oneonta's Steve Juedes, he was very good this summer, played for a bad team that went 7-16 but he was 5-2 and led the league in strikeouts and was second in ERA at 1.61, I see he led the SUNYAC in ERA last season with 2.11 but didn't get much recognition. I heard some pro teams are watching him. To me he seemed to have pretty good stuff, I would guess high 80's fastball and a nice slider. I think Oneonta could challenge Cortland if their offense can put some runs on the board, I know the Myers kid set a school record for RBI last season, and I think behind Juedes that they have Filak who throws in the 90's, a JUCO transfer from Schenectady named Brett Miservay who I hear is pretty good and a freshman from Clifton Park Jeff Carter who was an Empire State games pitcher, they should have a pretty good staff, just not sure who really hits for them after Myers, I saw the SS Dubbin in Twi light league, he's not bad, but I don't know what else they have on offense.

I noticed your other post as well - as far as the Reds scout - if that's the same older gentleman who is always at Oneonta games then I wouldn't put too much stock in that.  I'm not sure what his background is but I know the story about the Reds scout at a Oneonta St. game that has been told for years and years.  No offense meant to your guy - great numbers last season but he's not on the level of Tone or Maxwell (who he lost to second time around against Brockport, Maxwell had 10 K's).  I don't see him getting drafted but what do I know.

Oneonta doesn't swing the sticks well enough.  Especially when you're saying I don't know what they have after one main bat.  Cortland beat them the first two times around with Assman and Ratliff and when it mattered, Tone struck out 13 in 6.  Myers is very good and so is Oneonta for that matter.  Juedes is good, Filak is good but they aren't the elite SUNYAC arms.  It's not even close in the regular season and a tournament is anyone's game but double elimination favors C-State.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Dave Bradley on February 13, 2009, 08:59:56 PM
Yes, Maxwell beat Juedes the 3rd time that Juedes pitched against Brockport last season, you forget that Juedes beat Maxwell 8-0 the 1st time around and Maxwell gave up 11 hits that game. The game Maxwell won, Juedes only gave up 2 earned runs, 2 of the runs were unearned. I don't know about the Reds scout you could be right about him, but I seen juedes pitch 4 or 5 times over the summer and he improved from what I saw at the SUNYAC tournement, he was a strikeout pitcher in Twi Light league. That being said I wasn't saying he was better then Tone, I just said he is good and could be drafted late maybe.

Oh good point Dave I didn't see the first OState-Brockport game, or in the boxscores when I was checking.  Twighlight is wooden bat right or am I wrong?  From what I know good set-up but might lead to some extra K's.  Steve has the size for sure, will be very fun to watch as he gets the big SUNYAC starts and if he has a big season you may be very right on his draft status.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Dave Bradley on February 15, 2009, 02:19:59 PM
Yes, twilight league is a wood bat league so that does help the pitchers, but there is some real good players in that league, many St Rose guys D2 team, Albany St and Siena guys both D1 schools and many guys from different Sunyac schools and Empire 8 schools like RBI, Union and some 2 yr school guys from HVCC and SCCC plus some ex pros. That Zgorelski guy from Cortland plays on the St Rose based team. One team even has a pitcher who made it to the majors several years ago with the Colorado Rockies. Yep I am looking forward to seeing some of these players this year, I do think the Tone kid will get drafted and probably before the 15th round, I know Salamieda was drafted in the 13th rd from Oneonta a few yrs ago, I would guess Tone to be around there some place and it would be nice to see a couple of others get drafted as well, maybe Juedes will be another guy from this league, we'll have to wait and see, I think he needs some better strikeout numbers to get drafted but that is what I saw in twilight league, we'll see if he can do that in the Sunyac.

Problem for Oneonta or anyone else vs cortland will be scoring some runs, like u said. Lets just say they end up 1-2 sunyac's, what do you do if your oneonta in the sunyac tournament? Save Juedes for day 2 vs cortland and risk losing game 1. You know if Cortland knows the best competition in coming from Oneonta, they are getting Tone spun at them! I like tone in the matchup because cortland is going to score some runs but oneonta scoring runs off tone will come few and far between.
Cortand is deep on the mound and they will rake as a team. The transfer from maine is going to put up serious power #'s and like i said before jason simone will hit over .400! Add in the other position guys avery, gardneretc... and mr tone and a deep staff and any way u slice it, its going to be an uphill battle for any sunyac team to unseat cortland at the top of the sunyacs. Its possible but unlikely!

A few years ago when I was still doing Cortland games, I remember this similar situation came up with Oneonta and Cortland. That being - who pitches in what game. This would've been 2006 and the pitcher in question was Chris Salamida. Ferchen decided to throw Salamida in the opener against Plattsburgh and he ended up going the distance in a 1-0 win. Oneonta played Brockport in the winners' bracket and lost with their number two and then just managed a field goal to Cortland's two touchdown's in the losers' bracket final. The year before that, Mike Schellinger was Oneonta's number one and he pitched in the opener and then Salamida went in the winners' bracket game against Brockport. Neither pitched during the final round when Cortland swept Oneonta.

Judes is a very good pitcher... and in my opinion (if he stays healthy) will be one of the top SUNYAC pithcers this year.  He is always tough... and is again, is a very good pitcher.

Just one comment on the first Brockport - Oneonta game.  The score when Rob left the game was 2-0, he ended up giving up 3 runs becuase one of the inherited baserunners scored.  It was a very good game for 7 innings...  Brockport just didnt' hit agains Judes.  Oneonta is team that he threw well against and always had good games with.  But they were the last SUNYAC team that he earned a win against...  with the 4-3 game (with the 10 K's) referenced by wetsu.

Hits happen... as it is a pitchers job to make the team hit the ball.  Stirkeouts are good but they are often times givne to much weight, but keep batters off balance and make them hit the ball is a pitchers job.  Making them hit the ball, cometimes hits happen... just don't put guys on yourself and hits don't always hurt you.  The extra runnes from walks do.



I am going to miss being at these games... but will follow as best I can on here and the school websites.

Post by: Bob Maxwell on February 17, 2009, 12:35:16 PM
It is going to be interesting to see what happens... Brockport and Oneonta have most of their rosters back, but both lost pitching.  Cortland has most of their pitching back, but lost a lot from their postion players.  Cortland is still the favorite but the dynamic of getting there may be different this year.  At least at the beginning of the season.

A pitcher like Juedeshas a good day... and their bats score someruns and they can beat Cortland.  Same with any other good pitcher.

Also, I say that Scott Dubin is the first team SS on the All-SUNYAC team this year.  Anyone have any comments on a preseasong team?

Starvin,

Jumping ship a little early are we? I do remember you a few weeks back arguing a point about the C-State machine not having a potent enough pitching staff. and i believe you said more has been done with less or something to that affect.

I wouldnt say it was a bad job of recruiting by JB, its just his shifty underhanded wheelings and dealings that he calls recruiting have finally caught up with him. Karma can be a you know what. His over recruiting mayhave hurt him, or did he just lose the eye for good talent. JB needs to stop worrying about his players recruiting players off their summer teams and get out there and find the talent himself.

scuba,

nice call on simone and the .400 batting avg. Rough weekend for the soph, hopefully he can turn it around, looks like JB has confidence in him still which is good.


I'll admit its still early, but this weekend may have shown us that this may in fact be a down year for Cortland. The lineup he put out there does not scare anyone. Gone are the day of Zaccardo, Maycock,Robinson, Giammetta, Vittalone. This may have to be his greatest coaching job, lets see what kind of coach he actually is...whats the old saying about making chicken salad?

Mary Washington has a solid team year in , year out .They led Cortland  6-1 until losing lead late  in last seasons meeting . UMW won 26 games last year and 8 of their 14 losses were against NCAA region qualifiers ...2 that went on to the national championships. They beat 4 NCAA qualifiers....I don't think anything is up or odd  with them defeating Cortland .

Im not particular surprised about the results either.  Mary Washington is not a bad program at all and Catholic won 25 games and their conference tournament last year.  Salisbury is Salisbury afterall and it doesn't surprise me that that game was a battle.  Figured it would have been a coin flip.  Keep in mind these teams have probably been practicing outside a lot more than Cortland has.  I'm curious to see the outcome of the RPI/Cortland down south.  That will be a good indication of who stands to do well in NY this year.

I wouldnt say it was a bad job of recruiting by JB, its just his shifty underhanded wheelings and dealings that he calls recruiting have finally caught up with him. Karma can be a you know what. His over recruiting mayhave hurt him, or did he just lose the eye for good talent. JB needs to stop worrying about his players recruiting players off their summer teams and get out there and find the talent himself.

scuba,

nice call on simone and the .400 batting avg. Rough weekend for the soph, hopefully he can turn it around, looks like JB has confidence in him still which is good.


I'll admit its still early, but this weekend may have shown us that this may in fact be a down year for Cortland. The lineup he put out there does not scare anyone. Gone are the day of Zaccardo, Maycock,Robinson, Giammetta, Vittalone. This may have to be his greatest coaching job, lets see what kind of coach he actually is...whats the old saying about making chicken salad?

When  do some of the other teams around the SUNYAC open up



-Coach D


Wow

Easy Coach D.  This is hardly the first time that Cortland has lost some bats and they've always seemed to reload just fine.  I'm sure that more people were expecting 3-1 than 1-3, but let's cut them some slack here.  That most likely is the first time outside after spending 3 weeks hitting indoors in a cage in bad lighting.  Let's give it at least a couple of weeks into April before hitting any panic buttons. 

As for your comment on JB's eye for talent......we are talking the first 4 games of the season right?   More than half of this team was "talented" enough to rattle off 38 in a row last year, no? Not exactly Chicken >>>>. 

Don't know about the rest of SUNYAC, but Brockport and Oneonta both open the week of 3/6.

If anyone thinks that Cortland isnt a top 10 team in the country has lost it. I would like to see those same teams play again after a few weeks and see the outcome...without the 30 degree weather and after teams have played.

People need to realize that Cortland has been practicing indoors for 3 weeks on wood floors and in batting cages. Those teams they played have been outside playing on baseball fields. It would be like a basketball team shooting and practicing in a classroom and then going to play a team thats been on a court. Its not fair to look at them right now and say 1-3 they're no good. They will be fine and rattle off a bunch of wins and be right where they want to be come tourney time. They have great pitching and the hitting will come in time.

Northern teams first games need to be looked at with a grain of salt and not how the team will be for the season.

It was Catholic's second game of the season and Mary Washington's third (they played a double header two days earlier).  Believe me, DC area schools have not been outside for the last three weeks.

I know this is late but on the Cortland - first game outside topic.  I think the average snowfall in the DC area is less than 20 inches.  If you don't know what 140 inches of snow over the winter is like then you really aren't understanding what first day outside means.  I think the Cortland games could have gone either way but those DC schools had to brave some cold weather that they probably practiced in during the 3 days before.  Cortland went from shorts in the gym to baseball pants in 35 degrees.

Salisbury had played 7 games, catholic had played Stevenson 5 days earlier and Mary Washington had played a double header 7 days earlier.  No doubt those were not those schools first day on a field.  On any warm day they could have hit a turf football field or maybe been on their own fields.  I'm assuming yes, probably a lot of cold days that put the DC area indoors but it's a big deal.

Having lived (and coached baseball) in New England for 20 years, I know about spring ball in the Northeast.  Having lived in the DC area this past winter, I also know that DC area teams have not been out on their baseball diamonds in February.  It's been cold and it's been wet.  I'm a Hopkins fan, and I know that the Blue Jays have not been on their field yet.  In all likelihood, Hopkins will not play a game before their spring trip to Arizona, where they start out with Wheaton (MA), and regardless of the outcome of that game, Hopkins players and fans will not be whining about having to prepare for the season inside.

Salisbury is just across the Chesapeake from us, but they've played on cold and soggy fields both in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina to get their ten games in.  I can assure you that Catholic and Mary Washington have not been practicing outside for the last four weeks (as Alley Cat posits in his excuse for Cortland's poor start to the season).

Now I don't have any doubt that Cortland will kick it up a notch as the season progresses, but it's an ill-founded, limp excuse to say that the reason they lost their first three games is because they weren't able to practice outside and their opponents were able to do so.

Brockport's 2009 roster is posted. Several interesting transfers are listed for the Golden Eagles roster including former Division I athletes Jordon Allen (Central Connecticut), Todd Allen (no relation, Vermont) and Jim Gaudet (Albany). Not one of three saw substantial playing time in Division I though Todd Allen put up impressive numbers at Herkimer CC before going to UVM to ride the pine.

Plus, the Golden Eagles have Jamie Rose back listed on the roster after he missed all of last season. The LeMoyne transfer is now a senior.

JUCO additions include Max Keado (Hudson Valley), Kyle Harris (Broome), Nate Parrino (Genesee), James Joy (Hudson Valley), Chad VanHusen (corning) and casey Job (Hudson Valley). Keado was an all-region selection and I suspect that Nate Parrino is the younger brother of current minor leaguer and former LeMoyne standout Andy Parrino.

No. If Cortland is ranked in the middle of the pack in the nation, another SUNYAC team doesn't deserve to be ranked in the top 25. Cortland is still mostly head and shoulders above the rest of the field in the league, Oneonta as well.

In the Oneonta 9 win streak they beat a D2 team twice and Washington was 3-0 when they beat them, if they go 12-0 they could get ranked in my opinion.

I plan on going to as many plattsburgh games as possable this year and will let you guys know what i thought of the games. 

Looks like the SUNYAC is going to have some good teams in it this year with cortland and Oneonta's good florida trips so far.  One thing i can honestly say is i that i root for every SUNYAC team as long as they aren't playing conference games.  So good luck to all of them on their spring breaks.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 13, 2009, 09:33:20 AM
Dave, Thanks for updating us... It does look like they are having a good spring trip.  I wonder if there will be any "growing pains or disruptions to momentum" when they return and Myers/Flaherty jump back into the lineup. 

As for getting into the top 25 rankings... John is on the right track, and it is just part of the reality of rankings polls.  Until there is some head to head or other comparible scores to look at it is really hard to jump over a team unless one team does really bd or good.  yes, 11-1 is a good record, but it is not against other ranked teams so while it does get you on the radar screens it isn't weighted heavy enough to jump somone.  And Cortalnd is the top team in NY Region you will need to jump and they have slipped in the rankings.  there aren't any other NY teams... but RPI, Ithaca and Rochester have all received some votes... so possiblely they can get some votes, but I don't expect them to jump into the national top 25.

Outside of the SUNYAC games where I root for a result that will help Brockport... I do root for the other SUNYAC teams to win their non-conference games.  That is the only way that two or more teams will gain any recogonition on the national scene.  And for the last couple of years, SUNYAC teams have slipped out of the regional polls when they lose to each other in the tournament... partly becasue of the non-conference records.

Rob and I went to the World Series last May, and were hoping to see Cortland play deep into the tournament... but they had a tough first round match up and lost a couple of tough games.  You should all consider taking that trip... it really was a lot of fun!!!

Borckport is in Phoenix starting Saturday night so they should start having some results... its a pretty tough schedule so we will see how fast they come together.  Should (could) have beatne Kean last Saturday.

Every year Coach Ferchen lines up a trash schedule down south and Oneonta comes out of Florida with this tremendous record.  This year is no different, their schedule is junk.  Two wins over a garbage DII school has no bearing on the rankings.  Oh wait a minute, you also said a win over powerhouse Washington U.  Goodness gracious they should be ranked, what am I thinking?  Ithaca pounds them on a yearly basis.  I'm all for SUNYAC teams doing well but Oneonta plays the absolute WORST schedule down south, it is a joke!  Stop going to the Cocoa Beach Expo and go some place in Arizona or Florida where there's some quality teams and maybe Oneonta will receive some votes.  Otherwise it's the same old story.  Besides, Ferchen must be tired of partying in Cocoa Beach after all these years!

Cortland is legit and always is! Oneonta needs to play a tough schedule to get any recognition. At some point they need to realize that .500 against good comp is better than 10-2 against crap. You have to learn from the past and realize that those games do not prepare the team for league play and playing better teams. Even average teams can have good records against no name teams.

Play a better schedule and people will notice if you have a good ball club! Play 2nd division teams go 10-2 and no one cares.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Dave Bradley on March 17, 2009, 04:59:37 PM
No question about Cortland and how legit they are, the players don't make the schedule and Oneonta has some talented players despite whatever Florida schedule Rick Ferchen puts together. If my memory serves me correct, I would say they do OK in the SUNYAC, I think they make the post season nearly every season and I think just three years ago they tied Cortland for the top spot, including a season split with them but still the playoffs were held in Cortland and they lost. They may not be a National Power but they are a legitimate good team, in the most recent poll they did receive 27 votes and are just on the outside of the top 25. Never said they were better then Cortland, that would just be stupid, Cortland has been a national D3 power for years, all I said was that Oneonta could possibly get in the top 25 with a 12-0 start and they slipped up and went 11-1, and got 27 votes which I guess puts them at 30.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on March 18, 2009, 08:57:11 AM
Oneonta is a good team! Coach Ferchen is a baseball guy and really gets the most out of his talented kids. I think if they were tested more early it would help them compete with Cortland and maybe even get them a chance at an at large if they played a better southern schedule. Beating up on some questionable talent does give them a good record and numbers, but doesn't prepare them for light at the end of the tunnel. Are you playing for a good record or are you playing to win the league, Regional and the whole shootin match?

Just my thoughts.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Ruby Red Dawg on March 18, 2009, 12:51:59 PM
All we have learned from some early season games is that Corland and Oneonta are the only teams worth anything in the SUNYAC's. Once again Coach Brown and Coach Ferchen have estbalished teams tha are going to be there in the end. The way I look at it, the battle for 3rd and 4th is pointless. Brockport looks awful, hig expecations for this team in Western NY aand tthey have come know where close to them. Tough for those guys to do anything when they are giving up dou ble digits everyday on the field. Plattsburgh looks to be the thrid team and hopefully they can be, as to make sure the SUNYAC's are not a two man race all year.

Early season predictions:
Look for Joe Brown to wrap up coach of the year, while JAckson and Tone take care of the other major awards.

Good luck to all this season

Botton line is somebody has to beat matt tone to have a shot at the sunyac title and the pool a bid. Cortland is a different team this yr and i think thats apparent after looking at the boxscores and the stats. They are not going to hit alot of hr's but have hit 26 2b's and 9 3b's along with 43 sb's in 12 games! This is more of a speed team with a couple front line starters in tone and blanco. Anyhow, cortland is pretty good again and its going to take a great pitching effort to beat cstate on any day!

Post by: HotSoupTrio on March 19, 2009, 12:46:26 PM
Ruby,

Still a little early to make any statements like that that. You have to remeber that although thoser games that brockport are playing in Arizona may count for the stats, they really dont count for much else. When they return to NY they could always run the table regionally and still be in the regional title picture come may. I will adm it it does look a little shaky for them on the pitching staff, but I do feel it is it ealry to be packing the season in for them.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on March 19, 2009, 02:03:38 PM
Brockports start has been disappointing... to say the least.  But they did split with Keene and lost a heart breaker to Kean.  You can just toss out the game with Johns Hopkins as that was the snow ball rolling down the hill.  It is disappointing to see doulbe digits as ofen as it has happened.  I think their was discussion, or maybe it was in the d3baseball preview... I don't recall... where they and Oneonta were similar, and both of them would score runs, but their young pitching would need to find its self.   I think that is still valid, despite the starts of the two teams.

So Hotsoup is on target with his last post.

A couple of comments on Brockports start: 1) they have played a pretty tough schedule... that their young pitchers are cutting their teeth on.  2) last year they started poorly as well, I think they were 6-12 at one point and still ended up in the SUNYAC finals against Cortland.



We will see what happens when everyone is up norht and playing each other.  As I see it, the second spot in the SUNYAC is wide open for 3 or four teams to earn... and the season is young.

Hey Bob,  Boy I didn't see this one coming. I know they have arms and I know they can pitch,but at this point I don"t know when! At this time nothing says it better than the saying your never as good as you think you are when your winning and your never as bad as you think you are when your losing. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this start.Their pitching and defense needs to take a big step forward. I have every confidence that they will.

If brockport was looking to answer back to any statement I made yesterday they certainly failed. After giving up two touchdowns and 2 extra point to WNEC, its safe rto say that they might be out of it for this year. I guess it might be to early to say that, with conference play starting next weekend, but I just dont see how they can win giving uop that many runs. Too bad, as a fan i am getting sick of seeing that same teams represented each yr. coach beach and his staff need to get a clue with what they are doing defensively.

Its a shame the SUNYAc's can't be similar to the NJAC where there is 5, 6 teams fighting it out each year.

I hear you and feel the pain... it will turn around.  It did last year after a slow start... but you can't keep doing that.  We have to keep scoring runs and figure out how to stop them from doing that...   See you at a game sometime in the next couple weeks.


Ruby,

It is to early to count anyone out... since no conference games have been played yet.   And the answer to defense is to catch the ball, its not a difficult concept.  Sometimes defense goes in cycles, so I am hoping its going to move to the top of the sign wave curve.  I agree with you about the NJAC... the SUNYAC has had one top team and others who continue to battle to beat them for the last few years.  The same four teams have been in the tournament the last 5 years...  I still say that if anyone other then Brockport would beat Cortland in the tournament that someone else would go now and then.  But that has not happened in the last 5 years... just Brockport.  It would be nice to have the other three earn the recognition on the national stage that Cortland has earned.  But they are all either to up and down from year to year, or don't play a tough representative schedule to be recognized.

I thought that it was turning around the last couple years... but right now I'm not so sure.  BUT, the season is still young and there haven't been any conference games played yet so we have no idea who the other three teams will be that compete in the Cortland invitational on the first week of May.   ;)


We have to turn this start around... I think coach Beach knows what to do and can get it done!

Way too early to declare the season over for anyone. When you play in an automatic bid conference with a postseason tournament, the fat lady doesn't sing until the conference tournament title game is over.

And Brockport's not playing a schedule akin to Oneonta's, the Golden Eagles are playing extremely tough out-of-conference opponents - Kean and Hopkins are both nationally ranked, Keene State and William Paterson play in tough conferences (Little East, NJAC respectively) and Western New England is consistently solid.

I'll be more interested to see how the Golden Eagles do when they get back from Arizona. If the struggles continue, then maybe it's not their year. But until then, we'll wait and see.

I just got back from Arizona (I'm a Hopkins fan), and let me say this about Brockport.  They are a classy bunch of kids with a lot of heart who don't give up even when they're down 21-1.  They won the last three innings of that game.  The three, young lefties that pitched against Hopkins will keep getting better over the the course of the season and will make you proud at tournament time.  Good luck.

Huge upset today on Long Island.

Farmingdale State 10 Cortland 5

Cortland blew a 5-3 lead and gave up seven runs in the seventh and eighth innings combined. The Dragons defense committed NINE errors and only one of the 10 Farmingdale runs was earned.

Mike Assmann allowed three unearned runs through six on just five hits. Brandon DeRosa faced just four batters and allowed three unearned runs and AJ Carney yielded four runs (one earned) in 1.2 innings pitched.

Kevin Jackson was 3-for-4 with two RBI and it appears he was the only Dragon to do anything offensively.

Pretty horrific way to start the weekend for Cortland. They'll be at Montclair State tomorrow and then Manhattanville for two on Sunday.

The Red Dragons of Cortland go down again in the tri-state area. Today...

Montclair 5 Cortland 4

Cortland's bullpen again coughed up a lead as the Red Hawks plated three runs in the seventh to tie the game at four and then one in the eighth.

The Dragons are 0-2 on their current road trip and will wrap it up tomorrow with two games against Manhattanville.

I realize I have come across as a Brokport basher and that has not been my intention. As someone who has been around the Cortland program over the past decade or so, I am jut getting tired of hearing "haters" bash Joe Brown and his program. The guy really has done nothing wrong, except dominate the NEw York Region and put an otherwise unknown conferencce on the map.

This looks to be Coach Browns weakest team in memory. IT looks like they could be exposed.

I think Cortland might just win this conference by default. Brockport seems to be having trouble pitching and fielding the ball, one can;t really tell how Oneonta is, as they havent really played anyone worth anything yet. Not to mention the "other" red dragons look pretty young. These three perennial SUNYAC all good be there in the end to duke it out for a SUNYAC slugfest.

I'd be lying if I said I would like to see someone other than cortland win it this yr, but I guess giving them a challenge to make them a little more battle tested for the Regionals wouldnt be such a bad thing.

I think that this shows that C Brown has been a little spoiled with the talent that he has had in the past. To me it seems that this year's team is going struggle to put up the usual Cstate offensive numbers. I missed them earlier and have yet to see a Cortland game, but with the way some teams have been playing on their spring trips, they may see some conference losses. Oneonta, Plattsburgh and Fredonia(?) seem to be in midseason form and are piling up wins. Was able to see New Paltz and Brockport in action and it doesn't seem like they have it together yet on the mound. Just some updates on teams not commonly discussed. Good luck to all and we hope the weather can cooperate with games upcoming in the next week or two!

With the ups and downs, strenght of schedules vs weakness or them, things happening that we don't know about.  I am guessing that this is going to be a very fun and interesting season to watch.

We on the outside don't know if someone is tired, or what ever... so until teams acutally decide it in the field we won't know what happens.  HOWEVER, we can all give our opionions which is what makes this type of board fun to participate in.

We ahve to remember to at least try to keep our comments grounded in some facts... not directed at anyone, just a precautionary statement.  The coach in my not wanting to throw any bulletin board material up for anyone.  LOL

Coaches have to deal with what they have on the field... and sometimes we work through things looking for the final solution for the end of the season.  They have to let their teams grow up and learn in the field.  I suspect that is what happened with Brockport in Arizona, and most likely with the Cortland games this weekend... Many of these players are the same ones who carried large loads last year for these two teams.  They didn't get bad overnight.  The new guys need to find themselves and I believe they will.

I watched it happen with my son as a freshman and I know it happens with everyone... its the lenght of the learning curve that sometimes makes us all wonder out loud.

This will be an interesting year on the field...

enough rambling.. off to watch the end of the Pitt game.  maybe 5 Big East teams in the sweet 16... wow.  Wonder if the SUNYAC will get 3 teams in the regional. 
;D

I will say this aboutBrockport, they did choose to play a hell of a difficult schedule in AZ. I commend the coaching staff there for not backing down and filing the schedule with some tough competition. It looks as though many of the other ocnference teams chose to cupcake up there early schedules. With a fairly young team in Brockport, it might have been a solid idea for them to do the same.

RSS.. Thansk for the comments about the Brockport team.  I was not on the spring trip with Brockport this year.  First time in 5 years... but from our experience with the athletic program there, and specifically the baseball team.  I've always found them to be of the very best character and always to represent themselves, the school and the conference in the best way possible.  No matter what the score is on the field.

It is very easy to just blast someone on here when its anonymous, true or not just to get a rise out of someone... it is nice to see someone go out of the way to make a positive statement about a team that they really didn't have to make.

As a Brockport fan, parent of a former player, and somone who knows most of the boys & their parents on this years team.  I am sure they are not pleased with the record, but know that they will continuely work to improve and will play hard everytime they take the field!!!

THANKS!

I don't think offense is the problem considering some of the offensive numbers that they've been putting up. I think the problem more so lies with the bullpen and the defense. If both continue to struggle, they're going to have to win slugfests.

Is the offense down this year? I think so, but it's still early. Previous Dragon teams probably would've racked up more than nine runs combined against Farmingdale and a down Montclair State club.

Its defense, plain and simple when you look at cortland so far this yr. Their ss and 3b are fielding a combined .851 and they have made 33 team E's in 16 games. Where are u going in the long run with that type of defense?
Its early but cortland has to shore up the D. Looking at the stats, they are prob fielding in the low to mid .900's as a team. That is piss poor and a sure way to lose games short of 1 hitters by the pitching staff. Hey, Im a cortland guy but a spade is a spade. If ur an infielder and ur not fielding over .950, u should be watching the games instead of playing in them! Defense is killing the red dragons so far in 2009!

Easy...I'm just having a little fun. You should know my sense of humor by now. Besides, as a former Cortland broadcaster, I respect all the players that have gone through Joe Brown's program.

Also, as someone who covered Will during his three years in college, including the conference Player of the Year season, I thought he was one of the most athletic players to wear the uniform. His junior season was amazing because of his prowess at the plate and his improved defensive confidence.

I wish he could've stuck on in the minors or even in indy ball because he does have one attribute that can't be taught, and that's speed. Plus he's a good kid.

Didn't mean to offend anyone, just trying an attempt at some light-hearted humor.

My point is if u can rake and cant play d, u play rf, lf, dh or MAYBE 1b. u dont play 3b or ss. u can sacrafice some offense for defense up the middle(c, ss, 2b, cf) but never the other way around! Pitching and defense win championships and were pitching pretty well.
For christ sakes, we made 9 errors vs farmingdale, THAT ISNT A TYPO, 9 ERRORS IN 1 GAME! We'll turn it around, I know it, but college players playing in such a great program should leave their spatula's home and bring the leather with a little pride.

Also on Cortland vs Rochester?

As strong as Cortland has been over the past few years, their one achillies heel has always been the defense.  And I think John's comment on Will Groff was great and in fun, not necessairly at Will, but all the Cortland players of the past... and can be made becuase he did move on to play at a higher level.  He was putting a little levity on the situation... as it isn't time to panic for anyone.  Thaks for the chuckle John!  All of us non-Cortland Sunyaac fans appreciate the tongue in cheek humor.

Scuba is right... you can get to the regional by outsluggin many teams, but if you can't play defense you won't go to far.  They lost the game in last years world series on a defensive play.  They could have been up and done before it got to that point, but Trinity's defense kept Cortland from scoring the runs earlier in the game.

Trinity loses taht game and I don't think they win the national championship.  Cortland was there to win it and Trinity beat them with Defense.

By the way, it was a GREAT game to watch!!!


I wish I was going to be at the game... gut will be trying to listen to Cortland and Rochester... until our softball game starts here at Buffalo, then out to supoer them.

Guess I won't be listening to the Cortland - Rochester game at the start... the time change starts it after our softball game.  have to catch the end of it at home.

I have to say I think it is awesome that Cortland puts games on the internet... with the avaiability of the technology today, I would love to see more schools do it.  Go to the communications department and start a broadcast club... the students would do it for free and earn credits while building up a protfolio.

Scuba, don't you think it a little drastic to actually put your genitalia in the line of fire just to prove a point?  Hopefully, they will turn it around with just some extra grounders before practice and you can spare your junk.

Thoughts on today's contest between Cortland and Rochester.

*Great weather. You couldn't ask for nicer weather on a late March afternoon in upstate New York. Sure, it could've been warmer, but then it wouldn't be New York. On the bright side, it wasn't snowing or raining and it was sunny.

*Cortland doesn't seem to have that one big bat in the line-up you can count on to produce. And that's not a knock on any of the current kids, but teams of the past have always had that big upperclass slugger that could come through with the big hit. This year's team at this junction doesn't seem to have that. Avery and Simone at the top are good table-setters but they don't have anyone behind them.

*If Cortland can't score (12 runners LOB today), the team will need to be propelled by its' pitching. Mike Mahay didn't pitch poorly today but he didn't have great stuff and Rochester did a great job of putting the ball in play and making solid contact. Cortland still has a great starting rotation and it will need to carry the team until the offense can get itself straightened out so this year doesn't end up like 2004.

*Rochester is a very good club. Do I think they're a top 10 team like the ABCA does? Sorry, but no. I think if they keep up their solid play and string together some more victories, they'll eventually be a top 25 team. That's nothing against Rochester, but I just want to see consistent play out of the club. They do that, then they'll be ranked IMO.

*I wouldn't mind seeing the two teams play again on Long Island with Matt Tone matching up against Blair Veenema.

In other action today....
Brockport dropped a 9-4 decision to Pitt-Bradford on the road. The stark number right now for Justin Beach's club is an 8.72 ERA.

Tomorrow..

I did catch your interview during the UR vs Cortland game today.  Having followed this web site for a few years I have come to realize that there is much knowledge available on this site regarding New York and East coast baseball.  Your comments and perspective are appreciated.

Knowing that Cortland has always been considered a top contender year in and year out, your point about having that big hitter may be true.  Still, they are to be respected and have talent that can and will develop like they are known to do.  Sure they left 12 runners on base, but you have to give some credit to the pitching.  There were also some good defensive plays made by UR, so don't be to hard on Cortland.

As far as Rochester is concerned, they are a better hitting team than what they showed today.  Having seen them in Florida, regardless of who was pitching, these guys can hit.  Being ranked in the top 10 may be a little unrealistic to some, but we can pick apart every team in the standings and come up with a different list.  I like BigPoppas list and how he approaches the way teams are listed, according to his thinking.  I kind of agree with that, and respect what the ABCA nad D3 have to say as well.  Everything is subject to opinion and results anyway.

Yeah, I'm excited about the Rochester victory today, and so are the players and other parents.  It is a big deal when you can win against a Cortland team.  Sure, Cortland may be a little-off so far this year, and Rochester has definitely improved over last year.  I would love to see both continue to win and eventually move on to the tournament.  Having listened to you today has given me another voice, analyst, that I can go to for information, perspective, regarding New York, East coast, and DIII baseball.  Thanks.

I have to be honest, I don't really remember much of what I talked about when I was on the air - a nice hot chili cheese dog from A&W, among other things, washed away some of my memory from the game. Though I'm glad you enjoyed my segment at least (more thoughts on the D3baseball.com Daily Dose). I would've loved to talk more about Rochester (I actually called the 2005 game at Wallace Field between the two teams) but I wasn't asked.

Kind of addressing this and that. Rochester's pitching today was very good. I liked Veenema through four and would have liked to see him continue into the fifth though I understand he was limited since they didn't want to lose him for the weekend. He definitely kept the opposing hitters off balance through the first four. Toland was solid as well and really kept his composure out on the mound when things started going downhill in the sixth and eighth.

I still think cortland doesn't have that big bat in the line-up and that's more from just watching the approach at the plate and some of the pitches that were taken and others that were swung at and through. That and from nearly 10yrs of seeing cortland teams. UofR clearly doesn't have that problem and everyone can put the bat on the ball. When your eight-hole hitter is connecting for home runs and your best player (Jay Jay) has a quiet day offensively, you're in business.

Cortland has been having some problems ....... they will get them straight.....  they have some young players with tons of ability and some confidence issues, both at bat and defense.....those errors and k's have a way of giving young players the yips in the field and at bat...... i'm sure coach brown and his staff will build these guys up and you'll see a much better team by seasons end........ just my 2 cents

Some velry good games this week... and it looks like there may be some mixing of the order in NY, not just in the SUNYAC, but in all the confernces in the region.   As N Eagle fan, I sure hope Brockport can turn it around and be part of it at the end!

The Liberty League has had some conference games already, here we go this weekend!!!

Two more errors for Cortland's shortstop Pezzuto.  They sweep Oswego but until they find a shortstop who can field, it's gonna be tough sailing.  Pezzuto has made at least one error in the last seven games or so.  How is this kid being allowed to play short?

Bob.....

You would think that with all of the money Rochester has that they would at least provide a web feed, or like Cortland has with a live internet radio broadcast, for the home games.  It was great listening to that game last week.

Are you planning on being at the game on Wednesday at UR?

Oneonta sweeps Brockport, Juedes shuts them out with a little help in game one 4-0, in game two Oneonta wins 6-3 behind Jeff Carter and Andreison, Brockport had their chances in game two, twice had the bases loaded with no outs and only managed 1 run each time. Juedes was not really threatened in picking up his 3rd win. Oneonta's hitting seems improved from last season.

dave,

were you at the games in Oneonta on sunday? From the looks of the boxscores it seems as though juedes was tested. Looks like Brockport had runners on almost every inning, several times in scoring position.

Boomer, it doesn't come down to money... its the avialability of the infrastruture to do it, and the more so the personnel to do it.  Our younger son is a media/broadcast major and I spoke with every school he looked at about why they don't do more broadcasts of their sports teams on the student stations (internet)... I was surprised at how many of them said that is a good idea we just never thought of it... but they still haven't done it.  If you have an academic department, it could be a class - sports broadcasting, and lab experience to do the different jobs, on air, camera person, director, grips, etc...  It is hands on experiecne for the schools.

I thought that the job done by Oneonta was decent... we could watch the games.  The camera angles were OK, the camera work got better as the game went on when they had to follow the action (or at least tried too), the directing was a bit slow and off the action from time to time, the announcers need to work on their presentation and their description of anything that was a close call.  BUT they were all students and really did a great job just getting it on for us to watch.  This is what they should do iin academia is to give hands on experience.  

I would love to see my son get to do this at his school... he is pushing for it, and they have internet broadcast a couple of volleyball games.  He has a radio talk show three times a week, and is working in the TV studio on the news/sports stories... but this type of thing is priceless when it comes to experience for the students - no matter how it comes out.  THEY ARE GETTING JOB TRAINING.

KUDOS to Oneonta... who ever was responsible for it.  Athletics or an academic departement.  GREAT EFFORT...  KEEP IT UP!  And as you say, I wish more schools would start it...

I was just going to coment to Dave about the game...  but Ruby beat me to it.  I don't have my scoresheet with me here in the office, so I may be off with some of my numbers but:

Juedes did a good job during the game and did end up with a shut out.  But he was not dominating... as we said in the preseason discussion he was frustrating to the hitters, as he got out of trouble with good pitches on seveal occasions.  Brockport had a runner on base in every inning... and I think 7 times he got to second.  They just didn't get a hit with someone on base.

He did a great job of getting around baserunners.  Key strikeouts a couple of times, at least one double play ( I think early in the game).

He was very good... but he was threatened.  He made good pitches when he needed to.  The game was still in doubt in the 7th inning...  the run Oneonta scored in the bottom fo the 7th took some pressure off, but it was still there for the taking.

I said it earlier in the year that he wouuld be one of the best pitchers in the SUNYAC... and maybe even be considerd for POY if he can beat Cortland head to hear.  Tone may still be hard to beat for that...   He is a good pitcher and pitched very well.  But a hit in a couple of different innings and its a different ballgame.  But that is what good pitchers do, more often then not, they can get out of jams just like he did.

Good game...

Post by: John McGraw on March 30, 2009, 01:43:14 PM
I s'pose I could contribute to this discussion regarding web and video streaming since I kind of know something about that.

Cortland's had games streamed online since the early part of this decade - all of which have been done on a volunteer, non-student basis. First it was Gordon Mann, you may know him from D3football/D3hoops, calling a variety of football, hoops and baseball games. I joined Gordon after graduating from Ithaca in 2002 and when he moved away from upstate New York, I started handling all the internet broadcasts solo and also moved on to the radio side for football. Now, another volunteer, a local radio personality, handles the games.

And, more recently, Cortland has added student TV (CSTV) video streaming of select contests. Though, all of the internet audio broadcasts would not be possible without the help of volunteers. Same with the student TV workers volunteering their time to run cameras and cables and do all of the non-glamorous off-camera work that makes the video webcasts possible.

To be honest, most schools just don't have the manpower to pull this off. From a purely audio standpoint, technically all you need is a broadcaster and either a laptop or a telephone line and a headset phone. Even then, you need to pay someone to carry the broadcast (i.e. TEAMLINE) and you may need to pay the talent. That being said - most fields don't have telephone lines or press boxes. For example, Brockport has a wonderful press box but no phone line or wireless access so any broadcasts from the field would need to be done over a cell phone or via a telephone company (Verizon, Sprint etc) wireless card. Again, those cost money.

As for videocasts - most schools that have those are working through their student television stations. Some may not have the proper equipment to broadcast games. There are schools that do like cortland and Ithaca but a lot don't. And even if there is the equipment, you need volunteers to run it and set it up.

In this tough economic climate, a lot of schools don't have the funds to splurge into webcasting games. It's definitely the future but right now, more schools are putting funds into LiveStats and other web site features not necessarily related to game broadcasts.

Would I like to see more webcasts? Sure, I love it. But look how far everything has come since 2002. Then, you'd be lucky to see a score posted on a web site right after the game was over. The only way to know what was going on was to be at the game or cross your fingers to hope a student radio station was covering it. Now, we have live stats and lots of more stations covering games.

Well stated... when I said it doesn't come down to money, I was tlaking about athletic money.  I still think that with the academic umbrella of a class and the finanical aspect being in the budget area of academia.  Or if it was in athletics... there is a possibility of some advertising revenue instead of dead air between innnigs and during pitching changes.  I know, that is another staff postition...

But just think if the possibilites of Adjunct Professor, John McGraw teaching sports broadcasting 301.  The job marked just expanded!   :D

I guess there is a "punch list" of items that are necessary to have in-place for any kind of live presentation of a game.  A press box would be nice to start with.  I have heard however, that in the next 3-5 years Rochester is planning on renovating their football stadium, which may include the relocation of the baseball field to an off-site location!!

Well, maybe when I win the lottery I might then be able to help in this area at UR!!   :D

LOL @ Professor McGraw.

I agree that there certainly are ways to finance broadcasts by having sponsors through commercials and in-game readers. That's how most small colleges pay to have games on the radio (on professionally-run stations) - someone goes out and sells the sponsorships, whether it's an ad exec at the radio station or someone at the college. Or it can be a mix of both - but like Bob said, that's another position and in the Division III environment, that's just not feasible. I know the school I currently broadcast for at the Division I level can afford to pay people who just working on marketing, but they're also wearing other hats too.

Also, if you start webcasting one sport, other teams' parents, players, coaches etc will wonder when you will start covering their games. So you get into a tough situation if there's just one volunteer. That's why you see so many school's with LiveStats, you're covering a game live and most sports have live-scoring programs that can be HTML'd to a school's web site.

But like I said in my earlier post, webcasting is the future. I'll use football as an example. Back when I started with D3football.com, Gordon and I would have our pick of what games we wanted to cover during the season (within reason) because no one was webcasting at the time. One week we'd be at cortland, the next somewhere in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts. Now, almost every school is webstreaming football and/or men's and women's basketball. The number of schools that broadcast outnumber the school's that don't. Spring sports are also harder because of weather conditions/cancellations and the fact that the season runs into spring final exams and summer break.

Looking at the conference itself, a lot of the schools have some type of broadcasts - Brockport's WBSU does a full schedule of football, men's/women's hoops and men's ice hockey; Buffalo State has been hit-or-miss but some years the student station does football, hoops and hockey; cortland I've mentioned, Fredonia has a student radio broadcast of men's hockey, Geneseo has a full schedule of men's hockey, Oneonta's done live video the past few seasons of various sports; Oswego does a full schedule of men's hockey with radio/TV; Plattsburgh has professional radio for hockey and Potsdam has radio broadcasts for hoops and hockey.

The first pitch, weather permitting, is scheduled for 4:00 pm EDT. The live blog will be available through the front page at D3baseball.com. Blogging coverage begins at 3:45 pm.

The forecast isn't looking great but it's not completely awful. Weather.com is calling for a high of 49 degrees with a 60% chance of showers on-and-off during the afternoon hours.

Bob, I was at the Oneonta- Brockport DH, I guess what I meant was that they never got a man to 3rd in the game and I thought Juedes was pretty much in command of the game, they did get several men to 2nd as you said. In the 2nd game I thought Oneonta was in trouble a couple of times when Zimmerman smashed a Homerun and then they loaded the bases with no outs, I thought the flood gates were going to open but they only scored 1 run, then a couple of innings later they loaded them again with no outs and again they only scored 1 run. I also agree that Juedes did not have an overpowering fastball, I would guess 84 or so, when I seen him in Twi-light league he was throwing harder, probably about 5 mph, he led the Twi-light league in strikeouts but he doesn't throw the same in college. He is a good pitcher but I expected to see a bigger fastball, he has a real good slider in my opinion.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 01, 2009, 08:59:30 AM
Dave,

No arguement from me that he is a good pitcher... I said so in the hot stove discussions.  Pitching is a funny thing.  Your job is to make the other team hit the ball so that your team can get them out.  yes, there are strikeouts, but basically your job is to keep hitters off balance and make them hit the ball.  He does that VERY well...  but with runners on base, you are just one seeing eye (or solid) single away from giving up a run or two.

He did pitch well... and was not hit very hard.  So he did his job... there were a couple of very good defensive plays that helped him too.  The right fielder made a circus catch while avoiding a full speed collision with the fence down the right field line on a foul ball... He got a double play on a line drive up the middle that he caught and caught the baserunner off of second base... and Randle madea diving stop on a ball to end an inning.  the last two would have plated runs, the first one would have kept an AB and inning going.   So there was some good defense that helped too.

I shouldn't be surprised by Oneonta playing good defense against Brockport... They have done so in the past too.  Scott Dubbin has made several hightlight reel plays, Brian Holmes has made some too, and the real killer was the catch in center field that took a home run that would have tied the game... but instead ended it.

It was a good game... and He is a very good pitcher.  You bring up the MPH of his fast ball.  That is usually the difference between a good a great pitcher.  The ability to have  a few MPH on your fast ball to get you out of trouble by widening your margin of error with the added velocity.  A pitcher can't survive with just a great fast ball, but a good one will make a good pitcher better.

He gets those 5 or 6 mph and he moves to the head of the class.... if he isn't already there.

My son dealt with the same issue... when he had his 89+ mph fast ball (I never gunned him at 90, but he was regularly at 88-89) he was very hard to hit.  drop down to 85 and he had to pitch with his stuff.  I think he and Steve are similar pitchers.  Rob just had a bit more on his fastball.

It was good to see the games got played, as the make ups mess up everyone's schedule and cause the kids to miss classes. 

Thanks for the exchange, perhaps we will see you at a game through the year.

Sorry to burst your bubble Bob but your son doesn't pop 89+!  I don't think you realize how hard that velocity really is.  People like yourself toss around numbers as if it's nothing to throw that hard.  That type of arm strength off the mound isn't overly common.  At the moment, Matt Tone is a legit 88-91 when he's loose and in mid-season form and the same could possibly be said for Filak and that's about it for the SUNYAC.  In Rob's time, Dougher, Schellinger, Salamida, Jweid and Mattes were in the 88-91 range.  Rob didn't have the same velocity as those guys, sorry.  I respect your son's ability to pitch but he was 83-85 which is still impressive.

You can check their web site at: http://www.wicb.org and see if they're broadcasting when game time hits.

Hope you're doing well. I enjoyed meeting you and Rob at the Series last year.

StarvinMarvin,

No bubble burst here, I'm just wondering if the radar gun I use has been broken the last few years.  AND I don't toss numbers around without having seen them my self like a lot of people on here do. 

All the guys you mentioned are very good pitchers (as is Juedes who I was talking about in my post)... yes they all did throw at the velocity you state when they were "loose and in mid season form" as you say about Matt.  But if you haven't gunned someone at least now and then, you shouldn't comment on their velocity.  Rob was regularly in the 88-89 range the times I gunned him during his last two years at Brockport.   He threw 83-85 in High School.

I don't want to argue over something that is really silly... but I know what I've seen.

If you read my comment, I state that I've gunned him at 89 (but have not seen him hit 90, although some others have told me they've seen him do it).  I am careful NOT to say something that isn't true... from my FIRST HAND experience; I've seen him throw 89 on many occasions during his last two years at Brockport.

I understand you not believing he throws 89 because, as you say in your post, "most people don't really know what that takes" and not many people do it in D-3 in NY.  Let me share a short story to that point, as Matt Tone was surprised too.  the summer that they played together on the NYCBL Riverbats, Matt was in the stands selling 50/50 tickets for the team and walked by me when I had the gun out and was charting Rob pitching.  He asked me what he was throwing and I told him 88 today... Matt was shocked at that and said he didn't know he threw that hard.

Most pitchers, who do throw near 90, do it effortlessly.  They don't muscle the ball with arm strength, they do it with fluid mechanics and speed of movement... and when someone does it in a smooth manner it is often perceived that he is not throwing as hard as he really is.  Other then the one summer where Rob played with Matt on the Riverbats, I don't know any of the guys you mention personally, but I do recall all of them being lean guys, not all bulked up.  Which may account for their ability to throw a pitch at or near 90 mph?

Your point about respecting his ability to pitch (is very much apprecaited) and is exactly the point I was making about Juedes, he is a very talented and capable pitcher.  If he ever gets his fast ball up near 90, he will be even that much better.  And I say that not having a clue what he does throw at... does anyone have a velocity number for him from a gun?  Either way, he is a very good pitcher...


GREAT DAY FOR A GAME TODAY... I will have to open the doors and windows at home and listen to the Ithaca at Cortland game if its on!!!

Starvin Marvin, I agree totally that a lot of people throw around MPH numbers have no idea what they are really looking at, I am not one of them, I know what a 90 mph pitcher looks like, and like you said there are not many in the SUNYAC but one of them is Dave Filak, I know for a fact that he has been clocked as high as 93 mph.  There was a guy with a radar gun at the Oneonta game Sunday and he had Juedes at 84, now I seen Juedes last season pitch with a gun on him and that day he was topping out at 86, maybe what you guys said about mid season form and I'll add the warmer weather factor is the difference with him, because I seen him in the summer at Twi light league and he beat teams with some Siena guys, Albany St. guys, ex pros and he was throwing heat, maybe not 90 but it was close.  In my opinion Bob sounds pretty knowledgable to me, so if he says he seen Rob throw at 88 I believe him. But all the pitchers that you mentioned I have seen and I agree with you totally.

Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 02, 2009, 09:29:25 PM
Dave,

Filak does throw hard... I saw him hit 91 on a gun several times last year at SUNYAC's.  I  also heard that he came to Oneonta as a catcher, and was converted to a pitcher because of the velocity he had...  Dave, do you know if that is correct?

Also, thanks for the inforamtion on Juedes... it is interesting to know.  As I said, he is very good at 84 or 86... if he does infact find anohter few mph and has his good stuff he will be very hard for anyone to beat.

He has one of those things going against Brockport... he has pitched against them 4 times in the last two years and has beaten them 3 of the 4 times.  All four of the games were good ones for most of the game, and the time he lost he was beaten 4-3 in a very good game.  When a good pitcher loses a game it is often like that... where the opponent holds the offense off.  I hope Brockport gets another shot at him this year...

One thing about velocity... and that is if you don't locate it well, it can oftern times end up over the fence against a good hitter.  But it does increase your margin of error against many hitters by overmatching them.  Also no harm in giving up a home run, as a lot of good pitchers have done it.  What is more important is what you do the batter after the home run...
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Dave Bradley on April 03, 2009, 08:48:53 PM
Bob, I do know the Filak story, he was a catcher in High School at Burnt Hills, he never pitched in High School, on his summer American Legion team one day he was goofing off and threw some pitches, the coach noticed how hard he threw and asked him to try and pitch, after he worked with him some he was impressed, the coach called Ferchen and told him to take a look at him as a pitcher and the rest is history. The point about the guys in Twi light league is that Siena and Albany St are D1 players and St Rose guys are D2, there are some Binghamton guys too and a bunch from assorted Sunyac teams as well, in my opinion Twi-light league is the best summer league in the Capital District, Is it the Cape Cod league? No but it's pretty good. They have had several ex major leaguers play in that league, some before they made it to the bigs and some after they got out.

throw as hard as you want, if you dont have complimentary pitches you'll get hit by the better teams.
at the d-3 level, I'll take a guy like george jweid before he got injured over all the guys mentioned. my reasoning is the kid could spot his fastball, he pitched inside, it had a ton of movement and he could throw his breaking pitch for strikes.
in addition, a kid that throws 84-86 that can throw his change out of the same arm slot and not tip off the pitch by slowing his motion is a guy that good teams have problems with! spot your pitches and mix and you've got a guy i'll take anyday!

A couple notes/opinions.  Filak is easily winning SUNYAC pitcher of the year.  He throws complete games, strikes hitters out at a higher rate, and if he continues to get some run support, may not lose in the SUNYACs all year.  As for Brockport, they are extremely disappointing so far.  I know Bob keeps hoping for a turnaround but I don't think the hitting or the pitching is there this year.  New Paltz is perhaps even worse.  They can't hit at all, so I think I'm taking them at the bottom of the conference this year.  Thought it was interesting that with the dropout of SUNYIT, Plattsburgh no longer has a "traveling partner."  Means they will be facing #1 and #2 to start doubleheaders every single weekend, with their #3 and #4 coming out of the bullpen.  Good luck with that!  Cortland might be given a run for their money this year.  I just dont think that they can dominate like in years past.  A reason for that is Fredonia's hitting.  Just take a glance at it.  Oswego doesn't look like they will be in the mix for too long.  If they catch a break, their hitting can do damage to slide into the playoffs...

1) Cortland...I think Brown's crew will pull it together again
2) Fredonia...If not, Fredonia would have a huge advantage with teams traveling to their place
3) Oneonta...If Filak gets help, they could move into number 2
4) Plattsburgh...with Oswego close very very close behind

I think Fredonia will be getting a wake-up call on Sunday against cortland. I'm not saying that they're not good - they do have wins over Penn State-Behrend and Oneonta, but judging by recent history, they'll more than likely be a third or fourth seed.

I'm with Bob though. I don't think Brockport is as bad as its' record indicates. Even though they dropped a pair to Oneonta, they swept New Paltz. Once their pitching stablizes, they'll be a decent team.

I completely agree with the predicted finish. There is such a dropoff after the top 3... CState 1, Fred and Oneonta battle for 2 and 3. After that I like Oswego to slide in based on their experience and way they closed last season especially. Plattsburgh seems to have racked up a load of soft wins, they look good on paper but don't really expect them to fit into conference playoffs.

Should the two teams play on Sunday, you will see two very close games. Fredonia is much improved on defense and their pitching top to bottom rivals anyone in the conference. To top it off their offensive numbers are outstanding. This is easily the best Blue Devils team in recent memory, rendering past history useless. I may go as far as to say that if Cortland overlooks this game by the way they set their rotation, they could drop one. Fredonia played them to 2 losses of a combined 8 runs last year I believe. This year's much better team should be able to hang with them. With that being said, Fredonia has 2 easier games on Monday against Oswego and may be setting up to play them with their 1 and 2. Either way do not sleep on this team. They don't get much talk here but I think they can surprise some teams.

Brockport did have a big win against UR this week, any chance they can be relevant come May?

Post by: Big Louie on April 04, 2009, 05:40:51 PM
Fredonia was shutout by a New Paltz team and also dropped a 6-3 game to Hilbert. That doesnt look like a team that is going to challenge Cortland IMO. Until someone shows they can knock Plattsburgh or Brockport out when it matters you cant count either of them out.

I have to agree with John that Fredonia will be in for a wakeup call against Cortland no matter how Cortland sets their rotation. Fredonia has been competitive the last few years but until they make a sunyac tournament how much should we really talk about them. They can hit all they want but when it comes down to it they need to pitch. Carlson is pretty good but hes just one guy. I like Fredonia to be battling it out for the 4th spot.

Post by: Dave Bradley on April 04, 2009, 07:54:12 PM
Should be interesting to see what Ferchen does with his rotation, I imagine Filak and Juedes will pitch Monday's DH with Plattsburgh, but on the 18th and 19th Oneonta plays Cortland and Oswego, who does he throw at Cortland? both Filak and Juedes or does he split them up, will he risk his Num 3 and 4 at Oswego? Fredonia did win a game at Oneonta, but it was over there number 4 pitcher, Filak shut them out, Ferchen saved Juedes for Brockport and then they went with there Number 3 Carter in game 2. In my opinion Fredonia is improved but I think Oneonta will take 2nd.

Wow, go out of town for two days and there is a lot going on.  Too bad about yesterday's weather... did anyone play?  Drove from Boston to Buffalo and it rained almost all the way.

Scuba, dead on about pitching... that is partly why I said it was silly to talk about velocity and referenced balls landing over the fence.  Just throw hard and don't locate it and good hitters will hit you hard.  There are a lot of things that go into what makes a good pitcher.  And there have been a lot of them who have gone through the SUNYAC in the last 5 years... and there are still some very good ones playing.  My thought on who the best pitcher is in the SUNYAC, is the one who you are facing at that moment... as none of the other matter at the moment.

Seems to be a surge of support and talk about Fredonia... that is awesome. As they are one of the lost and forgotten brothers in the last few years.  They are off to a good start record wise, but the quality of some of the wins is not that good.  BUT, they are winning and it is great to see them in the mix.  They may make some noise in the conference again this year and make the tournament, I just hope its not at Brockport's espense.

Most interesting point made is the one about how the schedule impacts Plattsburgh.  With how the pitching will match up against them.  When you look at it, it is possiblt that they could in fact get everybody's #1 and #2.  The weekends where they play two SUNYAC sets, the team they play on the second day didn't play the first day...  VERY Interesting.

A fan will always pull for their team... and knowing the Brockport kids from the past few years, I know they are better then their record.  Its a short season, but if their pitching comes around they will be in the mix.  Good win for them vs Rochester last week, hope they keep it going.

Will be a little cool today, but sun is out and no rain!  Any audio for any of the games?

I'm not sure, I don't think so. From my understanding, Cortland is usually the only school in the conference that has baseball broadcasts. But, a few places have LiveStats.

I'll be in Ithaca today with a live blog of Ithaca-Stevens if you're interested.

Thanks John... we are going to go and watch some of Ball State at Buffalo today.  But if we get home before it ends we may hop on the blog and see what is happening.  Guess I will just have to call the parents to get updates of Brockport at Oswego and read the others as they finish.

I know that Brockport did broadcast some home games on their campus radio last year, but we were at the games so didn't get to listen.  It would be nice if as we discussed last week, if some of the schools got some games on - possibly with the communications students doing some of the work.  What does the open teamline cost for a school to have?  Even then you need someone to do the work to get it on...  One day it will happen.

My questin is how do you split with Hilbert and then the next time out split with Cortland?  Matchups...   ???

Good for Fredonia... they've been coming on for the last few years.  And it looks like this year may be interesting.  But Cortland has lost early in the past and gotten back on track.  So lets see where it all goes...

Good point about Cortland. I can remember one year, though which one I have no idea, but Cortland and Brockport each had one league loss or something like that heading into the final weekend (or close to the end of the season) and the Iggles had the tiebreaker. Cortland swept its' final league opponent while Brockport was shocked up at Oswego and Cortland ended up hosting the tournament.

Lots of time left. I think if anything, not only is there some parity now in the SUNYAC, with Cortland's slight struggles, there's lots of parity in the New York region as well.

I've got to say that I have no idea what you're talking about.  Firstly, this approach is a big problem all of a sudden after HOW MANY years?  Seemed to be working pretty well for the last decade or so.  Secondly, take a look at the VERY successful coaches of DIII programs locally (say Northeast) over the past 20 years and please let me know which of those coaches was burning incense and hanging potpourri in the dugouts when their teams are not playing well.  Thirdly, if anything, it's harder to coach young kids when they are winning.  Most kids at this level know when they're not going well and will work harder to improve.  It's a heck of a lot harder to keep them going when they think they're good.     Everybody keep an eye out for Dr. Phil in the C St. dugout next week.

Post by: StarvinMarvin on April 05, 2009, 09:49:39 PM
Problem is, Coach B thinks he knows everything and can't admit when he messes up and chooses to blame it on his players instead of his coaching style/practice habits.  When things are going well it's because of him but when things go bad it's the players fault.  Bottom line is that as a player, he couldn't himself do half the things he asks of his players.  Baseball is much easier to coach than play.  IMO too many coaches are judged by wins and losses which makes him look good.  However, he fails when it comes to other criteria.  Much easier to blame your players than look in the mirror.

Post by: John McGraw on April 05, 2009, 11:24:23 PM
Fredonia's got a gamer of the second game up however no box aside from a line score. That being said, none of their games this season have a box posted online.

In game two, Fredonia scored five runs in the third on George Jweid and never trailed after that. The Devils potted two big runs in the seventh against the Dragons pen to expand a two-run lead to four. Andy Gardner and Kevin Jackson each had a clout for cortland.

Game one, not close. 16 runs on 17 hits though Fredonia did have a 1-0 lead after 1. Tone threw six strong for the win.

bball 14,  Everyone is entitled to an opinion and are welcome on here... no censor ship here.  I think what John is saying is that in your opinion, you shouldn't attack an individual.  the opinion and comments are wlecomed, its just that you went directly at someone personally (and I'm sure that coach Brown can handle the attack...  :D  as he has other things to worry and focus on, and most likely doesn't read this)... anyway, most posters on here are annonymous so do get loose with what they say... no problem with annonimity, just don't attack someone personally.  sorry about the soap box.

AND you are right, it is much tougher to coach when you're NOT winning.  It seems to be easy when you are winning, but that isn't always the case.  There are a lot of things that coaches need to deal with that those of us in the world of message baords and blogs don't think about.

And there are two sides to everything... Starvin and Pudge both give good points on opposite sides of the issue.  So there is a lot to it.

Not choosing either side... Marvin states somethign that I've always thougth.
QuoteIMO too many coaches are judged by wins and losses which makes him look good.
.  Just that one statement speaks volumes in my opinion.  I agree with it and its opposite, that coaches also get often get to much blame when things don't work out.   Players win and lose games... coaches can have some impact, but the players are the primary reason you win and lose.   AND coaches are the ones who (in most cases) brig in the players..

Interesting discussion point.  As there are hundreds of different things that impact winning and losing... BUT the biggest one is the players.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 06, 2009, 09:35:11 AM
I didn't see the games... so I can't speak as to what mistakes or great moves may have been made, but it looks to me like one of the biggest (if not the biggest) things to impact the game was Ricky Carlson the Fredonia pitcher.  He is a senior from Frewsburg... and has been the winning pitcher against both Cortland and Oneonta... he only has 22 K's in 34 IP's, a 4-0 record and opponents are hitting .270 against him.  He looks like he is the kind of pitcher who flys under the radar (not big strikeout numbers but when he is on, he is tough to hit against).  Similar to what we've discussed with Steve Juedes...

I can't find stats from last years Fredonia team on their site... anyone have a history on him?  He looks like he has moved to the head of a pitching staff and is making everyone think they can do it.  And they are 3-3 right in the mix for qualifying for the tournament.

I wouldn't get too excited or disappointed yet no matter what team I'm on as there is still a lot of baseball to play.  two years ago, Brockport swept Cortland to open the conference season, then dropped 2 one run games to Oswego the next day.  Three yearrs ago, Oswego beat Cortland early in the season behind Adam Herandza (sorry about the spelling Adam...), but Cortland still hosted the tournament and Oswego missed out on the last day of the season with a loss to I believe Fredonia.

So while things are taking shape there is a lot of baseball to play.  There are some big games coming up... three results I want to see are: 1) Oneonta at Cortland on 4/18; 2)  Fredonia at Brockport on 4/25; and 3) Plattsburgh hasn't started playing yet, so we don't really know where they fit in at this point.

It will be fun to watch!

Here's Carlson's career numbers
2009: 4-0, 1.59 ERA, 5 GS, 4 CG, 34.0 IP, 22 K, 7 BB
2008: 2-4, 5.77 ERA, 11 APP, 5 GS, 1 SV, 43.2 IP, 29 K, 5 BB
2007: 1-2, 3.30 ERA (team-best), 12 APP, 2 GS, 2 SV, 30.0 IP, 20 K, 7 BB
2006: Jamestown CC

Doesn't hurt that he's a lefty. Carlson also pitched last summer in the Western Major Baseball League for the Weyburn Beavers. He went 2-4 with a 4.22 ERA as part of the team's four-man starting rotation. Weyburn finished the summer 12-24.

BTW, Cortland at Brockport has been postponed again. No doubleheader this afternoon.

I do believe that Weyburn is UP in Canada but no fault for the mistake   :D

And while digging up info on Fred, I think that it should be noted that last week they started the first game late in New Paltz, and then somehow got to Hilbert the next day to play a double header at 1? That's rumor, but if that is the case, hardly can hold that type of travel against a collegiate team.

Good point on the back to back days... that was caused by the rain and reschedule over the weekend.  But if you want to be a top team, you need to over come that.  They look to be garning some recognition, hate to see them lose it with a loss like that.  But then again, as I say... you have to respect anyone who puts on a uniform and takes the field!  And the Hilbert coach is a Brockport alum so I can see how it happened.   ;)

You may be correct on Weyburn being in Canada...  ;D  I will have to look it up.   :-\    and try to be more accurate.

Won't be different from any other year. I'd imagine if push comes to shove, teams will drop or re-schedule non-con games to play the league games. Like for example, Cortland dropping the second game with Keystone so it can get in the Brockport games.

EDIT AGAIN: Cortland will be playing at Brockport on Friday. The games against St. Joseph's of Long Island will be rescheduled.

I did see the second game and Filak did have a 6 run lead in the 7th inning.  Then he hit the lead of batter and walked the next 3 or 4 batters.  Campbell singled in 2 more runs and that was it for Filak.  Plattsburgh scored 5 in the 7th and Oneanta scored 1 in the top of the 8th to take a 2 run lead. Plattsburgh answered back with 4 more in the bottom of the 8th to take a 2 run lead and the eventual win. 

I will say Filak looked good and was rolling until the 7th. 

Any info on the Brockport- Cortland games?  Who else played this weekend?

I also was at the Oneonta- Pburgh game. the 1st game was very well pitched...wasnt impressed with either teams hitting. The winning run was scored on a high fly ball that the fell in btw the left and center fielder. It was a routine fly that some say was lost in the sun or just wasnt called by an outfielder.
The 2nd game Oneonta was dominating up 6-0 going into the btm of the 7th where filak who was cruising lost his control and walked everyone.  In the 7th and 8th innings, Pburgh scored 9 runs off of 2-3 questionable hits, 9 walks  a couple hit batters and an error or two. Oneonta tacked one on to make it 7-5 but their bullpen imploded in the 8th. From viewing the games Id say Oneonta lost these game more than Plattsburgh won them...especially the 2nd game anyways. SUNYACs are wide open....anyone of the teams in the SUNYAC conference could be in or out of the conference tournament by just one bad weekend...its too close to call

Its going to be very interesting... looks like 5 teams all on farily even ground.

And as John said, it happens every year where at least one team gets games piled up and has to play a lot the weekend before SUNYAC's.  I think that happens when someone doesn't want to reschedule as soon as they can and they lose another set or two...  I think they are supposed to reschedule for the next Monday, then Friday, etc...  AND if they can't get it in then they have to reschedule non-league games like Cortland did with.  While it may happen to someone this year, I don't think it will be as bad this year as with one fewer confernce team there are more free (or non-league geme) days on the schedule.

I wonder if Oswego will jump up and beat someone and possibly cost them as spot in the tournemant. 

It looks very interesting...

It definately looks to be interesting. Anyone have any thoughts on who gets in?

I like:
Cortland to finish at 9-3 (sweep of Oneonta, sweep of New Paltz, Split with Plattsburgh)
Brockport to finish at 8-4 (sweep of Fredonia, split of Plattsburgh)
Plattsburgh to finish at 7-5 (split with Brockport, split with Fredonia, split with Cortland, split with Oswego)
Oneonta to finish at 7-5 (swept by Cortland, sweep of Oswego, sweep of New Paltz)
Fredonia to finish at 5-7 (split with Oswego, split with Plattsburgh, swept by Brockport)

double play dave,
could not disagree with you more. I think that Oneonta is the best team in the SUNYAC's, i know they slipped up yesterday a bit but i think  a sweep of Cortland is gonna prove my point.

Pitching is the key to winning the conference tournament, of the teams, i only really see 2 teams having enough pitching to make it to day 3. Oneonta and Cortland. Plattsburgh has one pitcher, in O'leary as Kelley has disappointed. Brockport has 1 solid dependable arm in Shannon, who from the looks of it pitcher extremely well against Cortland. Fredonia has Carlson who is having a great years so far.  how do these teams expect to make it championship Sunday of the tournament with one arm a piece?

Now a question posed to the board: Now assuming that the boxscores from yesterdays Brockport and Cortland games were correct, what was Joe Brown doing using his best reliever in a 13 run bal game? Is he that arrogant and have that much hatred for Brockport that he wanted to rub it in there face that bad? This move might have potentially cost him the second game, having to bring 2 starters out of the pen in a close game. My guess, Brown still can;t get the bitter taste out of his mouth after being embarrassed on his homefield in the 2004 SUNYAC tournament.

ANy of the Cortland guys out there have any insight? (Scuba, Starvin, bball)

I hardly doubt that coach Brown cares about what happened in 2004. No offense, but that's a pretty silly statement and seems like sour grapes on your part. Brockport hits the ball very well and can quickly pile up runs in bunches. The Dragons bullpen was absolutely terrible against Fredonia. Why not put in the sure thing in DeRosa to slam the door shut? Obviously DeRosa would've been more valuable in the second game but how is anyone to know it goes to extra's scoreless?

This makes for a pretty big doubleheader next Saturday at Wallace Field and it puts a bit of emphasis on the Dragon's trip up to Plattsburgh at the end of the month.

John we know you have a man crush on Joe Brown. Brockport was not scoring 13 runs in the last two innings in a game they were dominated in. I think i need to take ruby's side on this one. Things aren't coming as easy for Brown and the Red Dragons this year and I can't say i can complain.

Look I understand the logic between saying one team lost a game rather than the other winning it but I feel like it is so overused its not even funny.  I am in no way shape or form a big Plattsburgh fan but you have to give them credit.  They pull out a close game in game #1 in the bottom of the 9th and then in the second game they rally for the win.  Give them credit, most teams fold mentally down 6-0 with a great pitcher on the mound. Yea he walked alot but I have seen many teams give those ABs away.

Oneonta may very well sweep Cortland with two solid pitchers and may very well even win the tourney.  But after yesterday there is no way you can say that they are the best team in the conference. They might have the potential but you cannot make the arguement that they are the best team this afternoon.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 11, 2009, 04:03:49 PM
Well said cstate...  Right now it is a 5 team race for any of the four positions.  I don't think any team can be given the tag of best in the conference as they've all shown a weakness.  And if that can be exposed by an opponent they won't win it.

With all this being said... Cortland still needs to be respected as they've earned that from their dominance of the conference and the tournament for the past few years.  I don't think this is the same Cortland juggernaut that has done the dominating in past years... but don't talk about any team being the best until they do infact sweep them.  Matt Tone, even with out his good fastball from last two years is still a formidable #1.  And they you have to beat Ratliff and the bull pen.

Plattsburgh won the two games yesterday... no matter what Oneonta did.  They could have folded it up against Filak, but they turned it around and got the sweep.  They may be the surprise team... I said that one of the three things I wanted to see was them playing as they had only played two games, and seemed to have been brushed aside becasue they split with New Paltz.  They showed they can stay focuesed and win... at any time.

Brockport did the same thing... they lost the first game big, and were never in it as Cortland scored 8 runs with 2 outs in the first and kept tacking runs on.  Brockport went 7 scoreless innings with them in the second, then Cortland got 2 runs.  Brockport could have once again folded up the tent and given up... they didn't can came back and scored 3 in the bottom of the 8th, got three outs in the ninth and earned the split.

Both teams deserve some credit...  they stayed focused and ended up winning.

This year looks like any one of five teams can win it... which would be great for the conference as we may get two teams again this year... but until someone does knock off Cortland they are still the top dog.


Brockport won the first vs Clarkson 7-6 to carry the SUNYAC flag in a region game.  Any other word on today's games?  Especially Oswego at Fredonia...

Ruby Red...

Why do you say that DeRosa is the best reliever they have?  because of the ERA?  That is one of the things you look at... but its just one of them.  He opponents are hitting almost .300 off him.  And his last four outings... all very short were not very successful.  He's let guys on base... and I don't believe he's struck anyone out.  I may be wron gon that... as he did go 2.0 innings one outting.  My guess is this that coach Brown saw him in a bit of a down turn and gave him some work where he didn't have any stress.

The puzzling one to me was brinigng Rowlands in when he did, and not Blanco right off the bat.  But second guessing is easy...  that's why we all do it and not coach.   ;D

Brockport drops game #2, 4-2.  In the bottom of the sixth, with Brockport up 2-1, Clarkson had 2 men on and hit a ball deep to the leftcenter field wall... Rose jumps to catch it, the ball hits in his glove... but when he hit the wall, the ball bounced out and over the fence for a 3 run HR.

Well, that puts Oneonta on the outside looking in at the moment.  The two games at Cortland will be BIG ones for them.  Then they have Oswego and New Paltz to finish up with.  They will need to stay focused in those games, especially if they don't at least split with Cortland...

As things stand right  now:
Other big games:
4/18
Plattsburgh at Brockport
Oneonta at Cortland

4/19
Plattsburgh at fredonia

4/25
Fredonia at Brockport
Cortland at Plattsburgh

Games that could jump up and bite someone are
4/19
Oneonta at Oswego
New Paltz at Cortland

4/25
New Paltz at Oneonta

Fasten your seat belts... its going to be fun to watch as there are a LOT of games that still have impact this late in the year.

Well like a lot of you guys said about Oneonta before the season started, it's about their hitting, In plattsburgh Juedes gives them 8 scoreless and they can't score themselves, then in a stunner Filak can't hold a 6 run lead, that could be the game that will come back to haunt them. Now what does Ferchen do, does he throw Juedes and Filak at Cortland, will Oneonta score off Tone and Ratliff? they could get swept and burn their best two pitchers, then throw their 3 and 4 at Oswego, what if they split then they are done. I think he might throw 3 and 4 at Cortland, then throw Juedes and Filak at Oswego where he should get a sweep and throw them again at New Paultz and prey for a sweep and 7-5. Will be interesting to see who he throws.

You throw your best two guys at Cortland and try to steal one or maybe even two games.  In the conference tournament your gonna have to win a game or two with your #3 or #4 guy so if you dont have  confidence in those guys beating the worst team in the league in the regula season,then whats the point in making the tournament?

Havent seen a cstate game this yr, so its difficult to comment but I will say that the sunyac seems to be pretty even.
I will stand by the comment i made earlier in the yr that cstate will be tough to beat in a double elim format due to pitching depth. Tone beats anyone in the sunyac 19 out of 20 times and the rest of the starting guys are pretty good as a whole, way better than anybody else's starting staff in the sunyacs. Tone, Blanco and Ratliff all avg a strikeout per inning pitched!
Looking at the stats suggests the Big question are: the infield defense(nickel, bailey and pezzuto all fielding mid .800's), the relief guys, the team overall being young and the spotty hitting. Gardner hit over .400 last yr and is hittng .274.  Potrikus was suppose to b tough out of the pen and his era is 7.27 with only 8.2 ip! Losing the Dhmino bros hurts a little as far a being veterans of the sunyac grind!
As a coach, i will never question another coaches decisions, none of us are there day in or day out but bringing in derosa seems funny considering the inning and the score!
Hope the guys get it together, they will. Cortland hasnt played up to there potential yet, but lets remember, its not a sprint, its a marathon. Id rather be good late than great early!
Beating us in the regular season is a far cry from winning the sunyac tournament, especially when Tone toe's the rubber!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: sergispie on April 13, 2009, 10:45:14 AM
Hello everyone, I am new to the board but have followed the sunyac for several years now. Cortland, as far as I have been watching, has been the most dominant. This year is a little different. There is no doubt that when Tone is pitching Cortland is pretty much guaranteed a victory. However this is how I see the rest of the season going:

Brockport sweeps Plattsburgh
Cortland splits with Oneonta
Plattsburgh sweeps Fredonia
Oneonta sweeps Oswego
Cortland sweeps New Paltz
Cortland splits with Plattsburgh
Brockport sweeps Fredonia
Oneonta sweeps New Paltz
Plattsburgh sweeps Oswego

How it all works out is Brockport is 9-3, Cortland Oneonta Plattsburgh are 8-4.
Brockport will host, Oneonta is the 2 seed, Cortland is the 3, Plattsburgh is the 4. Fredonia has had a good year thus far but will come back down to earth in the next few weeks. Fredonia will start getting treated like Fredonia and finish 5-7. Carlson will get beat and beat bad by either Brockport or Plattsburghs offense. New Paltz will finish with a typical 3-9 season and Oswego will finish 1-11. Once the tourney rolls around its anyones game. You still have to like Cortland with the pitching that they have. Oneonta has Filak and Juedes but they will not be enough to make it through. Plattsburgh will have another 2 and out in the tourney because of the lack of a shut down pitcher. As far as Brockport goes, they have good hitting at times but will need to step it up against better pitching which they have struggled with this season. They will also need more than Shannon and Gentzke to get through the tourney. Both have been solid but they will need someone else from that staff to be able to pitch against Cortland or Oneonta.

After this week, I certainly think that this is not the same Cortland team that we've seen in years past. Will they be alright in the end? I don't know, it's hard to tell but judging by past experiences, I'd say yes. But, I still remember 2004 and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we see a repeat. Here's the problems I see. I'll start with Matt Tone even though he's 5-0. If this is a guy that scouts are saying is a top-15 round guy, he should be mowing teams over, instead he's been so-so. He allowed four runs to Oswego and gave up four runs and 13 hits to Fredonia - both games where the offense from Cortland provided run support. Now, Tone raked against Brockport most recently so it's clear that he's still one of the best pitchers in the league though I don't think he's as unbeatable as some people think.

Lack of a lead-off hitter. I'm too lazy to check through all this season's box scores, but it seems that there's a different lead-off hitter every week. In years' past, you could count on seeing either Basnight, Coromato or one of the Dimino brothers in that spot. With the two Dimino's gone, there doesn't seem to be a true lead-off guy that's a get-on-base type of hitter. Anderson Gardner IMO is more of a power hitter and should be around 3-4-5 and not topping the order. Who do you put there? I'm not sure. But, I see Gardner more as being a middle of the line-up guy with Jackson and Zilnicki (when he gets healthy) around him.

Lack of offensive production from role-players. The main name that stands out to me is Joey Russo. Here's a guy that wasn't a star, but towards the end of his career, he was a tough out in the nine spot. Other guys through the years that weren't the stars like Piovesan, Tacelli, etc etc would come up with big hits and be a solid part of the offense. This year, the bottom of the line-up guys haven't really done much. You need the line-up balance to be a good team and right now, I don't think Cortland has that on a consistent basis.

Pitching. Overall, it hasn't been great. One of the reasons the Dragons were slotted so high in the preseason was because they had all this pitching back. While a 3.23 team ERA isn't bad, the overall numbers aren't pretty. Blanco, Assmann, Rowlands and as I previously mentioned Tone have been average at best. Jweid hasn't allowed an earned run out of the bullpen but he's only made five appearances. If he's healthy, why not let him start a game or two? But, I'd imagine he's not fully back from his injury.

The defense as has been previously posted about isn't good up the middle. At least as long as I've been following the team, defense has been an issue. There hasn't really been a dedicated pair up the middle and we've seen various combinations featuring Pezzuto, Reynolds and Bailey. I guess this is where the team really misses Russo and Vitalone.

Just my thoughts. Again, once the Dragons get the ship righted, I think they'll be a tough team to stop. This team's hard to predict because it's one with so many great wins down in Florida against solid programs, but it's also a team with two league losses and a 14-4 blowout loss at the hands of nationally-rated Keystone.

welcome to the board! I would have to agree with most of your predictions with the exception of brockport sweeping both Plattsburgh and Fredonia. What's your rationale on this one? Certainly you are a fan of Brockport, do you really think they have to depth to beat both of these teams? Fredonia and Plattsburgh have the two highest team batting averages in the conference, as well has having better pitching numbers, especially Plattsburgh's of late.

P.S. Plattsburgh's Andrew Gooch and Matt O'Leary have been named SUNYAC player and pitcher of the week, respectively. This marks 4 total Plattsburgh players to earn these honors thus far.

Interesting thoughts sergis....looks like i was already wrong on my predictions of Fredonia to split with oswego.

Plattsburgh has a tough road though if they are going to make the sunyac's. I'm not sure there pitching can hold up especially when they will face everyones #1 and #2 its not going to be easy. It'll be interesting to see how coach Doorey lines up his pitching this weekend with 2 against Brockport and 2 against Fredonia.

Brockport's team pitching numbers are awful but don't let that fool you they have guys that are more than capable of getting in done. Plattsburgh is going to need Kelley to start pitching like hes capable if they are going to contend.

I gotta agree with c-state, that seems like awfully wishful thinking that Brockport sweeps out the rest of the way in conference. It seems to me like this team couldnt "pitch" a tent. There pitching has been as close to terrible as possible. They are gonna have to find someone to stand toe to toe with carlson (sp) and o'leary, i dont know if they have anyone with the capabilities to do so.

Who would have though the road to the NY regionals might run through somewhere other than Wallace Field?

New to the boards here, but I have been looking at the posts for almost a year now. I don't have any children or any ties to the SUNYAC's anymore but my son did play at C-State for two years back in the late 90's and early 00's.

It seems to me like this might be one of the most competitive years when it comes to tournament time. Bunch of teams vying for four spots. It's gonna be interesting. Just looking at the Cortland Brockport games this weekend...Cortland embarasses Brockport in Game 1 and then Brockport comes back and takes Game 2...How about Oneonta losing 2 against Plattsburgh?

Can't say I wouldnt mind seeing Joe Brown get beat this year, he is a good baseball mind, but he sure has a tough time communicating to his players. With him it has always been a one man show and he is qucik to take the credit but even quicker to dump the blame on someone else. No doubt the guy can coach, but he might need a swift kick back down to reality.

Looking forward to some posting and good conversation....

I do not believe it is wishful thinking that Brockport can sweep the rest of the way because they will have Shannon and Gentzke both weekends if the coach decides to do so which I dont see why he wouldnt. Cortland is not the same Cortland and their lineup is vulnerable to good pitching as we have seen so far this year. Its up for grabs right now, the next two weekends are big. I just dont see Brockport losing at home against either Plattsburgh or Fredonia. Just my thoughts

As Bob would attest, Plattsburgh has given Brockport fits over the last five years. I think this year will be no different. While Brockport has turned things around, this is a team that at one point in March had an ERA in the eight's.

John Plattsburgh has given Brockport fits but im not sold this Plattsburgh team is better than those in the past especially without Welch and Hughes. They really didnt hit Oneonta at all this past weekend as Juedes shut them down and Filak basically walked the house otherwise he wouldve as well. I just think its going to be a long road for Plattsburgh having to play back-to-back conference games while the majority just play a pair.  If they survive this weekend they will have the real Red Dragons waiting for them. The schedule didnt do them any favors. Its important they set there pitching the right way otherwise they will be out of contention after this weekend. All the talk about Brockport's pitching when really i think Plattsburgh's pitching is probably worse IMO although assuming Shannon pitches for Brockport how does he rebound from Plattsburgh touching him up last season?

Does Ferchen throw Juedes and Filak against Cortland and risk getting swept and having to throw their 3 and 4 against Oswego?

Just from seeing Oneonta for a few years now you can see patterns from the coach. I definetly think that he will pitch Juedes and Filak against Cortland. I think that he wants those games more than any other games. Oneonta still has a chance to host if they can take 2 from Cortland. I think that Cortland, Oneonta and Brockport have to play for hosting. I think they will have enough to get in like always so they should all be trying to host the tournament. If there was a year to take hosting privileges away from Cortland this is the year. Like Dave said Plattsburgh has a tough road and will be playing just to get in as will Fredonia. The other 3 should be trying to host.

Sergi,
How can you honestly think Brockport has a chance to host? I'm aware that mathematically any thing is possible with them, but they seem to be the MOST inconsistent team in the conference. I think it is time for the board and SUNYAC fans to that getting to regionals is going to mean running straight through one of the Red Dragons.

Just looking at pitching matchups, you have to like the starting pitching of Oneonta and Cortland over any other team. When it comes to tourney time, you are going to need your 4th, 5th and 6th pitchers to come through. Both Oneonta and Cortland are the only two teams that could realistically get anything out of those pitchers.

I think Fredonia might be good enough with there number one to get a first round win in the SUNYAC tournament, but that is it at the very best. How you can like Plattsburgh throwing O'Leary untested underclassmen.

I keep reading about how most people feel that this year might be very competitive in the SUNYAC tournament, but I happen to think otherwise, IF teams like Brockport, Plattsburgh and Fredonia are some how able to make it to the tournament and then to the third day, there is IMO a zero percent chance they will be able to compete with either Oneonta and Cortland on the mound. If that's the case they are going to just out hit them and with those two teams having extra pitching, I just don't see it happening.

Although Cortland maybe having a down year, they have several pitchers on there staff that have tournament, regional and World Series experience to there name. Say what you want but, that will go an extremely long way comes tournament time.

I am by no means a Cortland supporter (Ithaca grad '82), but I do consider myself to be a knowledgeable baseball man, who can separate facts from fiction. When it comes to tournament play, you can never underestimate the value of expierence.

Oneonta beats Union 7-2, but the real news is Oneonta throws Juedes for 6 2/3 he gives up 1 in the 7th, ending a 22 inning scoreless streak for him but now I don't think they bring him back on 3 days rest to face Cortland, if so they shouldn't have thrown him that long today in a non league game.

Post by: sergispie on April 14, 2009, 11:24:05 PM
Just a response to cstate's earlier post, I do think Brockport can sweep both weekends just based on having their 1 and 2 for both weekends. If they were playing back to back days it would be a different story. Also I went to the Cortland Fisher game and it wasn't the best game played by Cortland. In fact it was pretty sloppy for a while. This just emphasizes the point that Cortland is not as strong as it has been in past years. The staff isnt what it once was with shut down pitchers of past teams. They have one shut down guy, who CAN be beat with a patient hitting team. Tone can get very wild at times but bad hitting teams make him look untouchable. Oneonta doesnt look like they are planning to beat Cortland this weekend throwing Juedes today. Mistake in my opinion. If they throw Filak one game they still might have a shot at a split which will ruin any hosting shot. Again I think it is up for grabs this year, anything can happen once the tourney rolls around.

Post by: Smithers on April 15, 2009, 09:52:39 AM
I can't seem to understand the idea of saving pitchers for certain teams. I guess I am a little old school and come from the mentality that when "your horse" is ready you take him out of the barn and let him run. You can't play for the next day, you have play for today. I appluade Coach Ferchen for going with one of his top guys when he was ready and not holding him for the weekend. You really never know what is going to happen so IMO saving and holding guys is not such a smart idea.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Ruby Red Dawg on April 15, 2009, 10:37:53 AM
kind of a suspect move for Oneonta, why wouldn;t you pitch your top guys in conference games?

cortland has a nice win yesterday, maybe this will get them back on the right track, any word why brown would remove two of his better players after only 3 innings of work?

Awesome to see so much activity with great comments!!!  take a couple days off and get three pages behind... wow, that is great.

I've only read to this point, but this is a great post... and sums up what I think may happen with the pitching questions this week.  If its me, I'm playing games looking to host, not just sneak in.

The games amongst the teams involved in the hunt will be interesting... anyone sweeps someone and it gives them a big upper hand.  And we should see some good pitching.

QuoteJohn Plattsburgh has given Brockport fits but im not sold this Plattsburgh team is better than those in the past especially without Welch and Hughes.

I ws going to say that I was very surprised at how well Plattsburgh has played with out Welch and Hughes.  Good for them, that shows a quality program...  I don't think past history against a team has anything to do with this years games.  But if that is what we are going to look at, Borckport won 2 of three last year... so that is the most recent sample.

Good post by smithers yesterday at 11:48... some good points.  I don't agree with all of them, but well said.

And once you get to the tournament it is anybody's game to win it.  Yes, it HELPS to have pitching depth, but if some thing happens that is a surprise then anything can happen.  A top seed or pitcher loses a game and anyone has to scramble a little bit.  You throw your ace and lose a game and no matter who you are you have to wonder a little bit.  These things have happened in the past and could happen again.

It will be interesting to see what happens Saturday as the Oneonta-Cortland and Plattsburgh- Brockport games will go a long way to determine who will host.  It should be much clearer Saturday night...

Bob,

Reading this last post has left me utterly confused. You have basically just restated a post about pitching depth and put it into your own words. Of course if your ace goes out and loses in the first game your gonna be left scratching your head. But how do you overcome an early loss, with depth on your pitching staff. I do not care who you are, or how unhittable your number 1 is, your are not going anywhere in a tournament without pitching depth. Just look at the history of this tournmanet, why has there been a dominance by cortland? Pitching depth.

Just look at a couple instances within the last few years of the SUNYACS

200?-Present-Cortland throws one of there bottom tier starters (3,4,5,6) and is able to a)get a win with them or b) overcome an early loss because they are so deep in pitching. Example: Young Dougher in 2005, Bilyk in 2006, Rowlands in 2008

2005-Oneonta-Salamida and Schellinger win first two, lose 2 in the finals

2006-Brockport-Maxwell and Dennstedt win first two, lose 2 in the finals

200?-Plattsburgh- Hoffman, Dahlin or Kelley give them a quality start/innings...know one is there to take the torch

As down as Cortland has looked this year, i think yesterday with there game against STJF was a prime example of how scary they still might be. Blanco the MVP of the 2008 NY Regional is yanked early, with what looks to be a control issue, Mahay comes in and cleans up the mess for 5+ innings.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 15, 2009, 04:45:40 PM
Sorry to confuse you... let me clarify as I do agree with much of what he said and restated it but not all of it.

I do agree with him about the depth of pitching being important.  The pairings you detailed from previous years support his point.  As without a strong #3 & #4 you will have difficulty winning it all.

What I don't agree with is:
1) Brockport has as much chance to host as anyone does.  They just have to win games. 
2) Depth of piching doesn't necessarily guarantee you will get to the finals and win it all.

My point was that an early upset can change the matchups... and if someone unexpected has a good game (on the mound or pitching) things may not go to form. 


Game # 1 today:
Brockoprt wins it 6-4 with a walk off 3-run home run from Jason Michaels.   Jamie Rose and Todd Allen also hit solo homers in the 6th.

Pitchers' duel so far between Brendan Rowlands and Ithaca's pitcher-by-committee.

Looking at the clock, it's about time for a brawl to break out or for it to get too dark to continue.

EDIT: Back-to-back doubles by T.J. Abone and Rob Zappia lead to an Ithaca run with no outs in the fourth. Rowlands gets the yank for Brandon DeRosa.

EDIT: Ithaca tacks on two more with RBI singles from Alan Kartholl and Matt Samela.

Just having some fun :) That being said, the two teams have had some dust-up's over the last four to five years with one particular melee in Ithaca involving a fan that jumped the fence to get on the field. The following year, the game at Ithaca got off to a late start and was halted by darkness in the fifth right after Ithaca missed a three-run home run that would've won it.

Plattsburgh is 0-10 in SUNYAC playoffs.  It isn't pitching depth that bothers them.  I would say it has been a whole lotta things.

Times like these is when the true ability of a coach is shown and I think that's why you're seeing Cortland struggle.  Not that it's any one person's fault but from what I know of the program Brown gets all the credit and should be equally willing to take responsibility.  Any coach can study the game and win with good players but not every coach has that "IT" factor going on or a presence about them.  The guy is too much of a rollercoaster when I watch their games, FAIRWEATHER would describe it best.  IMO, the best coaches show their true ability when things aren't going well or a program faces a setback.  When you have injuries or a lack of talent, you find ways to get the most out of your players mentally, emotionally and of course physically.  Brown chooses to place blame on his players more often than not it seems.  It's ok to do that when necessary but if you do it all the time, your players aren't going to want to run through a wall for you.  That working relationship is what allows a coach to get the most out of the talent he has to work with IMO.  Year by year teams are different and a coach needs to figure out his team's identity and by this time of year have things figured out.  A guy like Valesente is a prime example.  The guy lost a ton of talent but gets the most out of his players year in and year out through his coaching style/strategies.

Does anyone know where you can find the box scores on the Plattsburgh website?  Its nice to have the satts on the site, but I don't see any box scores...

I don't think they post them. And surprisingly, there are no box scores listed on the conference site either.

Who knows why. In regards to school's not posting boxes, I've heard a myriad of reasons through the years including my favorite, a coach not wanting them posted so the opponent couldn't scout them ahead of time.

Bob,

If there's a certain game you're looking for, just go to the other school's web site and they should have a box posted (unless it's Oswego then you're SOL).

Times like these is when the true ability of a coach is shown and I think that's why you're seeing Cortland struggle.  Not that it's any one person's fault but from what I know of the program Brown gets all the credit and should be equally willing to take responsibility.  Any coach can study the game and win with good players but not every coach has that "IT" factor going on or a presence about them.  The guy is too much of a rollercoaster when I watch their games, FAIRWEATHER would describe it best.  IMO, the best coaches show their true ability when things aren't going well or a program faces a setback.  When you have injuries or a lack of talent, you find ways to get the most out of your players mentally, emotionally and of course physically.  Brown chooses to place blame on his players more often than not it seems.  It's ok to do that when necessary but if you do it all the time, your players aren't going to want to run through a wall for you.  That working relationship is what allows a coach to get the most out of the talent he has to work with IMO.  Year by year teams are different and a coach needs to figure out his team's identity and by this time of year have things figured out.  A guy like Valesente is a prime example.  The guy lost a ton of talent but gets the most out of his players year in and year out through his coaching style/strategies.   


You would think Brown a disciple of the Coach V school of basebal would have learned some of this...



I'm not to sure about this, but I do remember hearing a few comments at a couple alumni festivities that Coach Val and Coach Brown do not exactly see eye to eye. Does anyone else have any information on that?

John, thanks... that is what I did.  Was just going to look at the last few as I do before a team playes Brockport.  Just for my own information so I have a clue who is who and what has been happening.  Having the stats on the page is a big improvement... now we need to get the box scores up so that their fans can go over them.

Smithers, I don't have any idea...  Perhaps John's tounge in cheek comment about the past points to the relationship a little.  but that is just a guess...

It was great to see my hometown team Ithaca take down the Red Dragons pitching by committee. I know everyone is on the bandwagon about Cortland not being the same team as always, myself leading the way, but they are still a dangerous team. After looking more at the pitching depth of these teams it is time for me to stop kidding myself. Cortland has the arms, as much as I hate to say it they do. Oneonta is right there with a couple of guys that they can ride out through the tourney. Brockport I believe can still host but they will struggle if they fall into the losers bracket. Locke has not been good this year and Joy finally got a win against a sub par RIT team but who else do they have? I cant wait to see how everything plays out this weekend. If Cortland plays well then it will be the same old story as it is every year, Cortland hosting.

ive got a ton of respect for coach brown and his success and the success of the cortland program. sure hope it gets straightened out soon... again this cortland team has great potetial and talent but they are playing tighter then a drum..... one bad hop error,  swing thru a changeup or,walk a guy in a bad spot and your benched......you cannot play up to your potential with that monkey on your back,and its beginning to show.....this same  team went down to fla and ran the table..... they played loose and won...... give this team soom room for an occasional error, tough at bat, or bad outing without climbing on their back and you will see a diffrent team.....you think these players dont want to be sucessful.....think again..... this is an excellent team that needs to loosen up and start having fun again..... good luck this weekend cortland and coach brown.... just my 2 cents

i know its easy to discount cstate already but as most know,  its a marathon, not a sprint! cortland has to focus on improving daily to prepare for the sunyac playoffs. As you look at their record, in-region and overall the only way into the regional this yr is a win the sunyac, pool A bid. no way this team garners a pool c bid if they dont win the sunyac tournament, too many in-region losses to teams w similiar records.

Cortland has got alot of quality arms, more than any other of the sunyac teams!
The problem that I see is the defense, there are 3-4 inf that actually play fielding .850 and below! That is a mind blowing fielding % for college inf's on any team, let alone cortland! Just horrific and if it doesnt get fixed it will be the downfall of this team eventually despite the pitching depth and the # of guys that swing the sticks!
I could go get 10 35 yr old guys that I played at cortland with 15 yrs ago that could field .900.
If u are fielding under .900 after 26 games and u play college baseball u might want to hang up the spikes!

Has anybody looked at what Coach Brown has accomplished since getting the job at Cortland? He has been doing a great job and will continue to. Just because his guys are having a tough time this year everybody is getting on him. If the guys playing aren't doing their job he can coach until his head comes off, it's not going to help. He's got a lot of new guys who need to get settled in. If they do, they'll be fine, if not, it won't be their year. Once their out on the field they have to play, he can't play for them.

The ability to relax and play the game is within the athlete whether the coach is a yeller or a sit back and watch guy.

Give coach Brown a break.

Yes we all know what Coach Brown has done who cares. Its a what have you done for me lately world. Coach Brown made his bed and now he can lay in it. I feel no remorse for Cortlands struggles. Yes they may very well be there at the end, but honestly I wouldnt mind seeing them lose every game out. I'm tired of seeing the same team win the SUNYACS every year. So when Corltand might not be there usual self its a good year in my book.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on April 17, 2009, 11:35:22 AM
I think there is a possibility of someone else coming out of the SUNYACS especially if Cortland does not host. If they don't win the Pool A bid they probably won't get in this year anyway unless they almost win out.

Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 17, 2009, 12:20:33 PM
Alleycat brings up a good point... to read a little into his comments, players play (no matter what kind of coach they have) and teams win or lose. 

Let me talk in hypothetical's for a minute... and assume that the talent on all the teams is equal.

I've talked about match ups on here in the past... and the same type of thing can be said for where a player fits into a role on a team.  Some guys lead and some guys are supporting role guys.  The best players aren't always the leaders and the leaders aren't always the best players.  Sometimes as a program moves through the changes from year to year... a kid in a supporting role (#3 or 4 pitcher, #5 hitter, you pick the role) moves into another role he may not be comfortable in and the chemistry changes and that can impact far more then just that one individual.  A team can rise or slip based on how these changes happen...  someone is a winning pitcher or high average hitter in a role he is comfortable.  Change his role to something is isn't comfortable with and he may not be as successful and it impacts the team.

This isn't a comment about stats...  Its about the matchups they are put into, the chemistry on the team around them on the field/in the lineup and how the dynamics of the group that evolves during a season.  One year a kid can be a statistical leader in one role, the next he can be just average if he is put in a role he doesn't feel comfortable in (or vice versa).  Its how the roles on the team are defined and evolve.

The leader of a group isn't always the best player... but the best teams are those where the leaders are the best players.

It happens every year on every team... that is why some teams grow during the season and others don't live up to the "expectations".  Because players either do or don't feel comfortable in the role that they are given.


Back to reality... There are five teams who (at this point) have a legitimate shot to both host and win the SUNYAC's.  Yes, for some of them that percentage is higher then others... but all five still have a shot at it.  And it will all be decided on the field in the next 3 weeks.  The team that plays the best wins.   This is the first time that can be said in at least the last 6 or 7 years.

Very exciting!

Ruby,

Seems to me like there aren't very many top level coaches in the conference. Just looking at them on an individual basis, know one has done much to make themselves standout.

Palisin--His program has come on as of late. They used to be considered the door mat of the conference, and you could usually ink them in as two conference wins on your schedule. Palisin who I believe is a pitcher by trade, has improved his team through that portion of the game. There ERA has gotten better each year over the past couple years (2007 and 08 ERA in the 6's, while this year they are in the low 3's). While also there D seems to be improving % in the low .900's to .965 now.

Doorey--Took over a fairly new program when he got there and has made some strides. But as stated earlier, he can make it to the dance, but can't seem to get any wins in there. He has had some pitching issues as far as depth. He has had some very talented ballplayers there over the years. Hoffman, Welch, Dahlin, Hughes and Kutolowski. Not to mention the fact that he has the luxury of recruitng to probably one of the nicest D3 facilities in the NE. He should be able to be bringing in much more talent. Doorey's teams are ones that will traditionally hit very well, but have trouble when its time to toe the slab.

Paino--Although I don't know much about him, I can only look at there statistics and there records. They really don't play as many games as most of the other teams. As far as I can tell they do not traditionally take a Spring trip (i see they did this year). It was an unfortunate thing that happend to him last spring, but it seems to me like his team was better off without him there. I am glad to see that he has made what seems to be a full rcovery. Again, like wiht most teams, pitching and defense seems to be there issue.

Beach--On paper his team is probably one of the most talented teams in the conference. Some very promising players, with loads of potential, who really have not panned out. Underachieving does not even begin to describe this team. ERA for most of the year in 6's and 7's and a very poor fielding average. Did a decent job with a young team last year, but has taken when seems to be steps backwards with this team.

Griffiths--Since he has taken over the helm, his team has been on a rollercoaster of a ride. Last years team was much improved and from the stats, looked like they had a true #1 in Zack Potter. This years team just seems to be struggling all over the place. An ERA in the 8's is not gonna win you many ball games, just ask the Brockport players. FRom what I undersstand this is a very difficult schol for academics, so perhaps that might be giving Coach Griffiths some problems when it comes to recruiting. I mean it beomes very easy to coach and to pile up victories when your team can roll the balls out and win on sheer talent alone, but what about when you have to develop players.

Ferchen--To me, Ferchen and Oneonta seem to be the biggest enigma of the SUNYAC over the past few years. Ferchen alwasy seems to have some great talent, but they just can't put anything together. A team that had 2 pitchers talented enough to play professional baseball and they couldn't win the tournament. This year seems like there best year and chance to take the SUNYAC tournament, anything less would be considered letdown IMO


Anyone have any additional insight on any of these coaches?

Anyone have any additional insight on any of these coaches?

Palisin- Least of my knowledge, but I have saw him on the road twice. Each time made some risky moves that paid off. Definately has revamped the pitching staff of a team that always could hit. Heard many things about him as a recruiter and looks like all the effort has paid off this year. Never really thought he had the ability to take a team over the cusp of the .500 mark, I guess this year has proved me wrong. Very inexperienced in post season play, should they get there it is  uncharted territory.

Doorey- Definately has done a lot for the program and has established them as a solid team year in year out. Beautiful field lots of support and a decent guy helps bring good players in despite the unfavorable spring conditions there.

Paino- Cannot argue with success, but to me seems too much of a hands off coach. Only observed at games, does not seem to "coach" even in tight ballgames. Rarely gives signs to batters and overall doesnt offer much IMO.

Beach- A long way to go here. Young coach's inexperience showing through. I am still not sold on this Bport team regardless of the run they have had. I have seen some on the field antics that really are immature and have heard and even seen a tirade or two that never belongs on the field. I do believe that there is room for improvement and can establish himself and return the program back to where the golden eagles have been in the past.

Griffiths- Found a gem in Potter. Other than that from a good baseball area, hasn't had much to work with. Has taken IT's spot in the basement for now and a few years to come I can estimate. With that being said still no easy victory, ask Fredonia. If they are the worst in the conference I guess that says something for the SUNYAC.

Ferchen- Overall my pick for best coach in the conference. Year in year out consistent play, great pitching staff . Something must be said about developing Filak as a pitcher, surely it did not happen over night. Great facilities, lots of pride, terrific players make Ferch and his crew a highly respected team. IMO they are much more dangerous with depth and chemistry than the other Red Dragons.

Brown- well we all know by now...

Cortland gets the sweep, 8-7 and 7-5.

In game one, Cortland pots five runs in the first inning off of Jeff Carter and never trails after the opening stanza. Oneonta gets to within 7-5 and 8-7 but can't score the tying run. O-State left 13 runners on base.

While it was exciting, it wasn't pretty. The Red Dragons (both of them) combined for 10 errors, including six by the home team - Nickel and Reynolds had two each. The home team also just had five hits off a trio of Oneonta pitchers.

Andy Gardner and Mike Avery each walked twice and scored twice and Kevin "Action" Jackson went 1-for-2 with two RBI

Game two, Cortland breaks open a 2-1 game with five-straight runs between the fourth and fifth innings to go up, 7-1, on Dave Filak. Oneonta plated four in the sixth to get to 7-5 before Mike Assmann came on to shut them out the rest of the way.

The defense was much better with only two errors. Andy Gardner went 3-for-4 with two RBI and Nick Palmiero had two hits to lead the Cortland offense. Also, one interesting stat. Oneonta pitchers hit five batters in the nine-inning game.

Oneonta (3-5) has to sweep oswego tommorow to get back in the race.  If Plattsburgh sweeps, it sets up a good series for nxt weekend w cortland going to P-burgh! If Cortland takes care of business tommorow vs NP, and P-burgh sweeps Fredonia, the best P-Burgh could do is tie them for the sunyac crown! Closest contested sunyac race in a long time!

Hahaha. Yea I guess I didnt call that one too well for Brockport. The truth of the matter is is that Brockport doesnt have a bullpen. They needed Gentzke to go all 9 innings to win that game. His line didnt look too good today either though. 6 runs in the 9th doesnt help either. Plattsburgh looks like they have some timely hitting when they need it. Cortland takes 2 from Oneonta today which I can say I'm not surprised. I know I have been saying they arent the same team but Cortland looked like Cortland today. It will be interesting to see how things shape up tomorrow. After tomorrow I'm sure there will be plenty of scenarios for a bunch of teams for possible playoff berths. Who knows, the tourney could be in Plattsburgh this year. Oneonta might not even get in. You have to love this time of year

Scuba,

Small correction - if Plattsburgh sweeps Fredonia and Cortland sweeps New Paltz, then Cortland is 8-2 and Plattsburgh is 6-2 going into their doubleheader next Saturday (with Plattsburgh playing Oswego on Sunday). In that scenario, Plattsburgh can still win the league title outright by sweeping Cortland and at least splitting with Oswego (Cortland would be 8-4, Plattsburgh would be either 10-2 or 9-3.)

If Plattsburgh and Cortland split in this scenario, they you're right - Plattsburgh could finish no better than 9-3 and Cortland would be 9-3.

The second game win for Plattsburgh can be credited to Billy Davis... he got hit pretty hard in his short stint in game #1, and came into game #2 and did a good job. 

He came into the game in the sixth with bases loaded... and made a spectacular play on a line drive back up the middle.  Not only did he catch the line drive, but he made the best part of the play by keeping his wits and after looking at first, turned and threw the runner out at third for the double play.  That ball goes through the middle it scores two more runs and who knows how many runs Brockport scores that inning.  They ended up getting just one run... to go up 8-6.  Davis went the distance and kept Plattsburgh close... which allowed the timely 9th inning hitting to happen.  Go into that inning down by 5 or 6 and it is a different mind set. 

Cudos to Billy Davis for making the play... it may have a BIG impact on the site and field of the tournament.

The last four years, the final field wasn't set until the last day of the season... same thing this year.  But depending on what happens today, the site may still be up in the air next weekend too.

Very exciting...

FINAL - Game 1
Cortland 4 New Paltz 3

The Red Dragons dodged a bullet in the ninth. New Paltz loaded the bases against Brendan Rowlands but couldn't bring home the tying run. The Hawks nearly tied the game early in the inning but a ball that could've been a run-scoring double turned into a ground rule double that held a runner to third.

Plattsburgh drops the second game after being up 4-0. 

Cortland 8-2
Fredonia 7-3
Brockport 6-4
Plattsburgh 4-4
Oneonta 3-5 (Waiting on Today's Results vs Oswego)
New Paltz 3-7
Oswego 1-7 (Waiting on Today's Results vs Oneonta)

Plattsburgh falls from first to in serious jeopardy of not making the dance.  Cortland takes two today to run their conference win streak to 4 and take the drivers seat.

I am going to say that Oswego and NP are out.  Leaves the other 5 for 4 spots. 

Next weekend has

Cortland at Plattsburgh for 2 on Saturday
Fredonia at Brockport for 2 on Saturday
New Paltz at Oneonta for 2 on Saturday

Oswego at Plattsburgh for 2 on Sunday

cstate,we can't say that until we see the Oneonta at Oswego scores... as New Paltz and Oneonta play next week and could end up tied.  Long shot yes, but without the scores you can't say for sure.

Once again, the last spot is to be decided on the last weekend.

No wonder the scores from Oswego were late coming in.

Game #1, Oneonta 27 Oswego 3

Game #2, Oswego 15 Oneonta 13

Makes next weeks games with New Paltz at Oneonta and Home stand at Plattsburg vs Cortland & Oswego VERY BIG...

It looks like the only things that we know for sure at this point are:
1) that the tournament field will be different this year as Fredonia has clinched a spot in the tournament.
2) Cortland has clinched a spot in the tournament
3) Oswego is eliminated - because either Oneonta or New Paltz will end up with 5 wins at the end of their series next weekend.

We still don't know for sure:
Where the tournament will be...
Who the four teams will be...
What the final seeding will be...

GREAT YEAR!!!

I hope the tournament will be as exciting!!!

So much for Oneonta hosting the tourney and being the best Red Dragons....Coach Ferchen best coach in SUNYAC right? may have coached his way right out of the tourney. Filak not throwing against Oswego may have been their fate.

I predict:
Cortland 10-2
Fredonia 8-4
Brockport 7-5
Plattsburgh 6-6

Oneonta on the outside looking in

Looks pretty accurate to me.  By your logic you have Cortland sweeping Plattsburgh and Plattsburgh sweeping Oneonta.  Fredonia and Brockport splitting.

With Plattsburgh playing 4, who do they start and when?     
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Big Louie on April 19, 2009, 08:19:19 PM
i think you mean plattsburgh sweeping Oswego.

Plattsburgh has to pitch its best two guys on Sunday hands down. If Coach Doorey doesnt throw his best two against Oswego it might be the dumbest coaching move since Ferchen wasted one of his best against Cortland.  They will not be joining the Red Dragons at Wallace field in 2 weeks if he does this!!!
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 19, 2009, 09:04:52 PM
Here is this weeks topic for discussion... What happens if there is a 3 way tie at 6-6?  It could happen with Brockport, Plattsburgh and Oneonta.

    ???

What is the tie breaker procedure in a 3 way tie?  If the first tie breaker is to total up the records among the three teams? Then...
Plattsburgh is 3-1 (2-0 vs Oneonta; 1-1 vs Brockport)
Oneonta is 2-2 (2-0 vs Brockport; 0-2 vs Plattsburgh)
Brockport is 1-3 (1-1 vs Plattsburgh; 0-2 vs Oneonta)


I belive the first tie breaker if two teams are tied and split their games with each other, is to compare their results against the top seeded teams until one has a better record.

So 2 way ties would be:
If Cortland is the top seed:
- Brockport split with Cortland
- Plattsburgh - unknown against Cortland (sweep Cortland and they are in)
- Oneonta lost two to Cortland
- New Paltz lost two to Cortland

IF Fredonia ends up the top seed:
NOTE: Cortland would have to lose twice to Plattsburgh and Fredonia win once against Brockport for Fredonia to finish first
- Oneonta split with Fredonia
- New Paltz split with Fredonia
- Brockport unknown against Fredonia
- Plattsburgh lost 2 to Fredonia

Brockport wins one game vs Fredonia and they are in the tournament.

Plattsburgh sweeps Cortland and they are in.  Or Oneonta wins one game vs New Paltz.  Plattsburgh wins a tie with New Paltz at 5-7 ONLY IF with one win next weekend is against Cortland as that would mean they split and Cortland beat New Paltz twice.
Plattsburgh wins two games next weekend and New Paltz is eliminated.
Platttsburgh wins 3 games and they are in the tournament

The only way New Paltz gets in is that they HAVE to beat Oneonta twice and either:
1) Plattsburgh loses four games (New Paltz is in);
or
2) Plattsburgh loses 3 games and they end up tied at 5-7... if they are tied with Plattsburgh and Plattsburgh lost both games to Cortland, they win the tie breaker because they split with Fredonia.

Oneonta's only shot is in a tie with Brockport at 6-6 or a three way tie with Brockport and Plattsburgh. (if I'm correct about the 3-way tie breakers)  Brockport wins one game and Oneonta is eliminated as they would lose a head to head tie breaker with Plattsburgh.

WOW, this feels like the NFL...    ;D
 

Fran, as you are the only conference personality who posts on here that we know about, can you clarify the 3-way tie breaker and confirm that I am correct on the two way tie breaker.
   
???

Post by: FranElia on April 19, 2009, 09:13:45 PM
Bob, I only have access to the 2007-08 SUNYAC Handbook (last year's). The tiebreaker listed below, therefore, was correct for last year, but I can't be sure if it's the same this year.

Fran


2008 SUNYAC Baseball Tiebreaker (Last season's tiebreaker - not sure if it's been changed)

1. If there is a tie(s) for any place(s) in the standings, then the results of the in-season head-to-head competition shall be used to break that tie.

2. If two teams split their in-season games, then the committee shall use the best record against highest seeded remaining teams in descending order.

     For example:

     a) If two teams are tied for first, then the record vs. the #3 team would be compared.  This procedure would continue 4,5,6,etc. until tie is broken.

     b) If two teams tied for 5th, then their record vs. the #1 team would be compared.  Then 2,3,etc.

     If two teams are still tied:
     1. Total runs allowed in all conference games.
     2. Total runs allowed in doubleheader with each other.
     3. Runs allowed in descending order of teams' standings.


3. If there is a tie among three or more teams for a place in the standings, the committee shall use the overall records of the tied teams against each other as the tie-breaker.  The team(s) with the best record vs. each other shall be given the higher seed.  Between the remaining two teams the procedure for the two-team tie-breaker shall be used.

4. If there is a tie among three or more teams for a place in the standings, and after comparing the overall records of the tied teams against each other, there still remains a three-way tie, then the committee shall use the best record against the highest seeded teams remaining in descending order as the tie-breaker.  If a tie still exists, the least number of runs allowed in double header between the two/three tied teams against each other would be the next criteria to break the tie.  If still tied, the head-to-head winner in the nine inning game will advance.

(My note: the last sentence in #4 obviously doesn't apply any more since the league now plays two 9-inning games and not one 9 and one 7)

Thanks Fran...

Also, I missed one as there is another way for Oneonta to get a spor in the tournament.  I don't know how as this is all as clear as mudd...    :D

Oneonta can get in IF they win one game from New Paltz AND Plattsburgh loses all four games next weekend .

Sorry about that...    :D

What a wild weekend. I can't remember the last time that almost every spot was up for grabs and so many teams were in the mix of things.

Cortland has only been up to the "Chip" twice in recent history and Plattsburgh has played them very tough there, including an 8-7 win in 2007.

I'm glad that Plattsburgh has LiveStats for home baseball games now.

Well looks like next weekend is going to be a wild weekend. Plattsburgh has no shot of beating Cortland so they should just pitch their best, whoever that is at this point, against Oswego. Plattsburgh's staff is very questionable. They might as well give up 60 runs to Cortland and throw everyone at Oswego just to get in. Oneonta needs to take care of business since they dropped one to Oswego. Better throw Juedes and Filak against New Paltz. Brockport needs one game to get in. Is there any question who they should pitch in that game, their one and only guy Shannon. Fredonia, how did they get in. I am still in aw on this one. Brockport needs a split and then they will face Fredonia in the first round of the tourney in the 2 vs. 3 matchup. Oneonta needs too much to happen, I think that they will sweep but it wont be enough. As long as Plattsburgh just throws away the Cortland games and sweeps Oswego Plattsburgh is in. So as Dave said

1. Cortland
2. Fredonia
3. Brockport
4. Plattsburgh

we will see though, anything can happen in the sunyac.

What a season for Oneonta and their coach Rick Ferchen, 1st they lose a very tough DH at Plattsburgh, 1-0 and then the huge 6-0 lead that Filak lost, then they go to Cortland and actually score some runs but get swept anyway, then they go to Oswego and in game two blow a 5-1 lead, Ferchen goes to the wrong relief pitcher when he does not go to Andreson, who has been excellent all season, in the game he absoulutely has to have until the game is 15-5 then he goes to Andreson, Oneonta comes up with 8 in the 9th but the hole was a little to big by then and they lose 15-13.

Some schools do not post game box scores, I believe Plattsburgh is one of them. I know back when I was in school, my alma mater didn't post overall statistics online during the season. This wasn't because the sports information office wasn't doing its' job, it was because the players on the team had voted to not have them posted online.

Post by: sergispie on April 20, 2009, 09:22:00 PM
Plattsburgh and Brockport have very slim chances. I'm not exactly sure how Plattsburgh is but Brockport can host with:

Platt sweeps Cortland and gets swept by Oswego
Brockport sweeps Fredonia

This would make Brockport 8-4, Cortland 8-4, Fredonia 7-5 and whoever at the 4. Brockport hosts because they split with Cortland but swept Fredonia and Cortland split with Fredonia

Just heard from an Oneonta parent of what chances they have on making tournament

Oneonta must win 2 vs New Paltz and they can get in with help....

1. Fredonia must sweep Brockport
or
2. Plattsburgh must lose 3 out of 4 this weekend vs Cortland and Oswego.

Does anyone think Oneonta gets in?
I believe that Fredonia and Brockport split and Plattsburgh takes 2 from Oswego therefore eliminating Oneonta.

what looked like a promising season for Oneonta is now looking pretty embarassing

6 teams all with shots at getting into the tournament.  only two spots locked up before the last weekend.

Great year...  The tournament looks to be wide open this year.  There has been a lot of talk about pitching depth - who has it and who doesn't.  It will come down to the match ups... and someone winning a game that is unexpected.

But before we get to that... we can enjoy the weekend.  Plattsgurgh has live stats for their games... is there anything for the games at Brockport or Oneonta?

Post by: FranElia on April 22, 2009, 03:20:40 PM
I think Plattsburgh can still host if:
1) Plattsburgh sweeps both Cortland and Oswego
2) Brockport sweeps Fredonia

This would put Plattsburgh, Cortland and Brockport all at 8-4. In the three-way head-to-head, Plattsburgh would be 3-1 (2-0 vs. Cortland, 1-1 vs. Brockport), Brockport would be 2-2 and Cortland 1-3.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 22, 2009, 10:51:59 PM
This is the point of the season, before the conference tournament, where the middle infield needs to be solidified. If not, it could very well be an issue in the playoffs.

Unfortunately it's a case of what's the lesser evil - lack of offense or lack of defense? The starter at shortstop today (no need to point out his name) is hitting .297 for the season and he's among the team's stolen base leaders. The other guys that may step in and play up the middle aren't hitting above .250. Though, 18 errors and an .824 fielding percentage really hurt.

It's not a great situation and it just goes to show how valuable that Vitalone and Russo were over the last few years that the Dragons didn't have to worry about defense up the middle.

Cortlands D is a serious problem. In the games vs Oneonta, no offense but the left side of that Cortland infield was pretty pathetic

1. Cortland
2. Fredonia
3. Brockport
4. Plattsburgh

many of cortlands errors from the left side were throwing errors.  unfortunately when a throw is in the dirt or wide and isn't picked by the first baseman the error is on the thrower. i believe that this is what happenned yesterday.in the loss to keystone. dont underestimate the need for a quality defensive first baseman on any team to reduce these errors....just my 2 cents

Post by: Ruby Red Dawg on April 23, 2009, 09:38:45 AM
Has a team in this conference looked more night and day then Brockport? Kinda a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde approach over there in Western NY. When it  comes to a consitency of play whose responsibility is that? The Coaches or the Players? In my mind its gotta be on the Head Coach.

A close second on this might be Oneonta, this team looked like it might roll right through conference play, two of the better arms in the conference and a nice little supporting bullpen cast around them. Now it looks like they might be on the outside looking in.

Very strange baseball year, big weekend though and the comes tournament time...How quickly one could forget about a poor regular season with a dominating performance in the conference tournament.


Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 23, 2009, 11:33:33 AM
Ruby, good question... but I've never seen a coach not make a play.  You hear it all the time that coaches don't have their teams ready to play... or a team had a great week of practice, etc.  But when in the end it all comes down to matchups, circumstances, situations, opportunites and making plays.  So I can't answer the question as it really doesn't have a RIGHT answer...  ???

Fran, great call on the Plattsburgh still having a chance to host...  As I said in a post, we still don't know:
1) where the tournament will be
2) who the four teams will be
3) what the seeding will be.

Great year for those of us who like to "hot stove" over the games.... but I'm sure it is frustrating to some of the players and coaches, while at the same time exciting for others.  Fredonia has to be elated to finally get into the tournament!  Good for them... and it is nice to see the field change a bit.  I've always thought that there was to much red at the tournanments...  ;D.  Hope I didn't speak too soon, as there still could be three red teams... have to wait until after Saturday to know for sure.

Post by: Smithers on April 24, 2009, 12:31:52 PM
Sorry board its been awhile since I've been on...My daughter just gave birth to our 3rd grandchild!!!!

I have been doing my best to keep my eye on whats going on around the SUNYAC as well as the rest of the region. Was a little suprised by the first regional rankings yesterday, thought for sure Ithaca would be ahead of Cortland, and looking just at the regional records, I would have thought Fredonia would be ahead of Cortland too. I guess the name Cortland goes a lot longer than you would think (deservedly so).

In response to Rudy and Bob's latest post...

I would have to say that getting a team to live up to expectations and play at a consitent level falls all on the shoulders of the coaching staff. Bob, you are correct in saying that coaches don't make plays and they don't get at bats, but when it comes to playing up to your potential, that falls squarely on the shoulders of the coaches. Teams do often "play down" to there competition and are able to walk away with a "W" based solely on their talent. Other times they may play up to their competion (i.e. a rivalry game, senior day, homecoming, etc.).

Taking this arguement and extending it to the conference...

Oneonta- Now i'm on record as saying this was Coach Ferchen's best chance to take the SUNYAC tournament. I am also on record as saying this might be the biggest let down for his program if they didnt. So now what would you call the fact that without a ton of help this weekend, they aren't even going to be going to the tournament. Who do you blame this on? From the looks of it it could go 50/50. The plattsburgh series his team couldnt' scrap up one run in the first game and then his starter in the 2nd game couldnt find the zone. But how in the world do you score 40 runs in doubleheader and come away with a split? Or how about Ferchen splitting his 1 and 2 on that same weekend? Why would he not thrown Filak against Oswego and take what would seem to be an easy and obvious win? Of course looking back now, had they swept Plattsburh and Filak did beat Cortland, Ferchen would look like a genius. Nonetheless, Ferchen and his staff need to field some of the blame for this team underachieving in conference play.

Brockport- I would have to agree with Rudy on this one. Seems to me like when this team is up they are up, but when they are down they are really down. This team seems to look real good every staurday, when they have Shannon on the mound for them. There midweek play as well as theri play on Sunday has been terrible. If this team is as good as they should be (going on what has been said on this board) who do you blame for their inability to get more than one game above .500 for the season?


When a team can show up and look like the '74 Oakland A's one day (I guess a modern day equivalent would be the '96 Yankees) and the then look like the Bad News Bears the next (the one's with Walter Matheau, haha) who is to blame for that? In my opinion it is the coaching staff. Part of being a coach is motivation, you need to be able to motivate those who can motivate themselves. You need to make sure your team plays on an even field at all times. Make sure your teams keeps the same approach at the plate no matter if they are facing the top level of competition or the bottom of the barrel. I realize that we are dealing with 18, 19, 20 year old kids who have school, girlfriends and socail lives to deal with, but I do not think that this shoul be accounting for rollercoaster play.


My intentions are not to pick on anyone or to single anyone out, but better yet just to share my opinion, I'm sure planty of people will not agree with it, but that is their right and I understand.

Going to try and make it out to the Oneonta and New Paltz game this week, if i do I will be sure to let you know what I see....

Enjoy the nice weather board members!!

Smithers I couldnt agree with you more on Brockport. I am on record for saying they would host. Bad call. I am not 100% they will get in anymore. Oneonta may steal that one right away from them. If Shannon loses this weekend the Eagles could be sitting at home next weekend. Smithers I am with you about the coaching staff. Coach Beach is starting to look inexperienced more and more as the season goes. Coach Ferchen is in the same boat in my opinion. He had a great chance of making a run at this one, but now he is fighting to get in because of terrible pitching decisions last weekend. Should've taken 2 almost guaranteed wins with Juedes and Filak against Oswego. I guess Filak got his feet wet though. If Oneonta gets in he will have to beat the real Red Dragons of the conference. It will be an interesting weekend. Alot of questions will be answered around 7 or 8 o'clock tomorrow.

Congratulations to you on your third grand child... hope everyone is healthy!!!

I understand what everyone is saying about a coaches responsibility... but it is never that simple.  Having made a living as a coach for 18 years I can tell you that you can do everything right... and come out flat as a pancake.  And vice versa... it is a fine balancing act.  Group dynamics, team chemistry, individual leadership from players and their comfort level with what ever they perceive the stress they are under ALL play as  much of a role (if not more of one) then anything a coach can do.  The only thing that I've found that may improve the situation on a consistent basis through out a season is to just remain consistent from day to day leading up to a game and doing the same thing from pitch to pitch during a game.  I spoke about it in an earlier post that was ignored.. I thought it would provoke some discussions, but it didn't.

From what I know of coach Ferchen and coach Beach, they are both very consistent... but I am talking generally when I make my comments.  I only mentino these two as they were mentioned in the posts making the points.

It comes down to players performing at their norm in their perceived level of stress.  There really isn't any {{{REAL}}} stress in baseball... it is all what you think it is.

And yes, Brockport does perform well when their best pitcher is on the mound... but that is the same with every team.  Players perform when they feel comfortalbe in their rolls and when they have a good match up working for them they feel more comfortable.  Taht can be said for any team... put their best pitcher on the mound and everyone feels good about it.

Thanks for the flashback to our youth with the Oakland A's reference... they don't happen much on here.  LOL

Off to the games...

The Plattsburgh live stats incorrectly stated briefly that the final was 12-2. When I talked to a friend on the phone who's at the game, I said "hey, I see the game just ended", to which he replied, "no it didn't - it's still going on!!" :)  The final was 12-3.

Yes, Plattsburgh in with one win Sunday vs. Oswego.

Cortland 1st place at 9-3
Fredonia 2nd place at 8-4
Brockport 3rd place at 7-5

Plattsburgh is 5-5 with two left
Oneonta is 6-6

If Plattsburgh wins twice Sunday, they are 7-5 and tied with Brockport, but Brockport still gets 3rd seed (the teams split, both are 1-1 vs. Cortland, but Brockport is 1-1 vs. Fredonia while Plattsburgh is 0-2)

If Plattsburgh wins once Sunday, they are 6-6 and get fourth seed by virtue of sweep vs. Oneonta

If Plattsburgh loses twice Sunday, Oneonta gets fourth seed at 6-6

Post by: jack31 on April 25, 2009, 07:38:17 PM
I just got back from the Cortland- Plattsburgh game and what a game it was.  It seemed like every inning Cortland went up a run or 2 and then PLattsburgh matched them but would never take the lead.   Plattsburgh played some small ball in the first half of the game then started hitting the long ball late.  Joe Curcio hit a 2-run homer in the seventh to tie the game up.  Then freshman second baseman Pat Sheanacy (sp?) hit a solo homer to dead center in the 8th to tie it up again.  That must have felt good for him after making an error at second with one out and runners on the corners in the top of the 8th.  Then Curcio hit his second homer of the day in the bottom of the 9th on a 2-2 fastball and one out for the walk off.  He hit both his home runs to right center.

Billy Davis threw 3 2/3 quality innings in relief for his second career win vs. Cortland.   Tyler Green pitched 6 1/3 innings of solid ball and just kept Plattsburgh in it. 

Now they need atleast one vs. Oswego and still have their 4 top starters ready to pitch.

After losing the first game 12-3, Plattsburgh showed a lot of heart in the come from behind victory headlined by the walk-off homerun by Joe Curcio in the bottom of the 9th, his second of the day. How about seeing a combined 4 homeruns at Chip Cummings Field in a double-header (Reynolds in the first game, Shaughnessy in the second game, and 2 for Curcio in the second game)? It was a special treat for the fans and a record breaking day. A lot of credit should also be given to the game 2 starter Tyler Greene and relief pitcher Billy Davis. Davis pitched a combined 8 innnings in the doubleheader and was the winning pitcher once again in the second game (Davis won against Cortland in Game 2 at The Chipper in 2007). Good Luck to the Cardinals tomorrow vs. Oswego! They need to win atleast one game to get in the tournament, but two would put the icing on the cake. Either way they can only get the number 4 seed, so it looks like they'll match up with Cortland in the first round of the SUNYAC'S if they are able to win tomorrow! Should be exciting!

So that is how you spell Shaughnessy.  I knew i spelt it wrong but was just to lazy to look it up.  As far as the Home Runs go, i wasn't there for the first game but did hear someone on Cortland hit one to the right of the scoreboard in left center field.  Any ball hit out of Chip CUmmings field is a legit shot and would be out at any field in the confrence.  For anyone that doesn't know, it is 350 down the lines and 402 to center.  Not very often a ball gets out of their so seeing 4 in one day was close to unbelievable.   In the second game, Cortland's leadoff batter hit a ball that RF Shwind caught at the fence.  That is a ball out almost anywhere else but instead he ended up with F9. 

For moe up to date news, looks like Plattsburgh won the first game vs. Oswego to clinch the final spot in the playoffs.  The winning pitcher looked like freshman pitcher Dan Tracy in relief.  Final score, according to the live link was 6-5.

According to LiveStats and the SUNYAC page, Plattsburgh gets the sweep over Oswego, 6-5 and 10-9.

Therefore, here's the set-up for this coming weekend in Cortland.

1. Cortland
2. Fredonia
3. Brockport
4. Plattsburgh

I believe (Fran please correct me if I'm wrong) that Brockport gets the higher seed because it split with Fredonia while Plattsburgh was swept by Fredonia.

The first round games will be rematches from this weekend's Saturday doubleheaders, go figure.

Just got in from the weekend.  Field is set, and Cortland are the hosts.  Nothing new. I like Brockport and Cortland to win the openers.  Of course if Plattsburgh hits enough balls to the left side of the infield they might beat Cortland.  Their infield defense resembles a bad Little League team.

Cortland swept a doubleheader from Mt. St. Vincent today, 13-8 and 15-4. Both the offense and defense were solid throughout the day with the only down spot being the pitching. Nick Blanco yielded only two hits in four innings but he walked five and allowed four runs.

The Dragons have added a Wednesday date against Utica for what I guess would be a "Senior Day" with the conference tournament taking place this weekend.

Given the national Pool C situation, the Dragons may need to win the conference tournament to move on to Farmingdale.

John,

You are correct as to why Brockport is the #3 seed and Plattsburgh is the #4 seed. Since they split head-to-head, you then look at how they did vs. #1 (both split vs. Cortland). You then look at their results vs. #2 (Brockport was 1-1 vs. Fredonia, Plattsburgh was 0-2).

Here's the tourney schedule:

Friday - May 1
Game 1: (#2) Fredonia vs. (#3) Brockport, 12 p.m.
Game 2: (#1) Cortland vs. (#4) Plattsburgh, 3:30 p.m.

Saturday - May 2
Game 3: Loser Game 1 vs. Loser Game 2, 10 a.m.
Game 4: Winner Game 1 vs. Winner Game 2, 1 p.m.
Game 5: Winner Game 3 vs. Loser Game 4, 4 p.m.

Sunday - May 3
Game 6: Winner Game 4 vs. Winner Game 5, 12 p.m.
(second game to follow, if needed, at appx. 3:30 p.m.)

I agree with you John - I like it better now that we have the three games on Saturday instead of Friday. I think it's good that no one is eliminated on the first day, and I think if people want to watch the three-game day, Saturday's a better day for that.

With no 10:00 am game,    ???    what am I going to do with the extra 2 hours in the morning?  guess I can sleep in until 7:00.. as I don't have to leave at 6:30 to get there.     ;D

I like the elimination game being moved to Saturday morning.. that was a BIG imporvement last year.  AND it gives each of the teams a chance to be there for 2 days.

See you Friday...

2. Fredonia 6

3. Brockport 7

Day 2
Fredonia beats Plattsburgh 9-6 to eliminate them

The two will play again on Wednesday in Ithaca.

Oneonta playing two tough non-conference games against IC.  I like that. 

I think Matt Kelley throws versus Cortland. Give the senior the ball and try to beat Cortland.  Come back in game 2 with the freshman O'Leary who has been their best pitcher so far this year.  Experience in Game 1.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StagnantFLY on April 28, 2009, 12:54:57 PM
Bob,
I agree with alot of your selections. I believe that if Juedes doesnt get SUNYAC pitcher of the year, its a joke. He has to be a lock for the Pitcher of Yr with NO EARNED RUNS in 30 plus innings. It seems to me that eevry year Cortland has the most players selected and some of the players in my eyes arent as good as other SUNYAC players that do not get the honor. Lets hope the comittee selects the most deserving players and not just who they play for
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 28, 2009, 01:48:36 PM
From what I understand... the criteria is changed from years past.  In years past, some of the selections looked a little strange (how ever you want to put it...), but that was becasue the primary statistical considerations were the CONFERENCE ONLY stats... some guys had great years, but didn't do well in the conference games.  A perfect example is Dan Maycock a couple of years ago.  In past years the season stats were only used when two guys were even. 

that was hard for some of us to take as we only looked at the season stats and not the conference ones.

This year, that is different... as they are flipped around. 

It is still a really hard thing to do, but overall I think the coaches do their due diligence and come up with the correct team based on the criteria they are directed to follow.  It is hard to do...

Love to hear anyone elses prediction/opinion on the team.

Bob,

Seems like you have everyone in the conference making these teams. I do agree on Juedes winning pitcher of the year. Seems like Player of the year might be open. Jackson could win it, the young man has had a great year. I think Avery might also have a shot at winning as well, but we will see.

I thnk coach of year has to go to Matt Palisin. I can't really say enough for what he has done with that program, building it from nothing to the point where they had a legitimate shot to host coming into the last weekend.

Cstate,

I see you have changed your tune on expierenced pitching...


This is always an interesting time for coaches, many of these teams that make the tournmanet have at least 2 legitimate starting pitchers. Do the coaches throw there 1 and 2 out there to try and get into the finals in the winners bracket or do they take a shot with a lesser guy and try and steal the first one and line themselves up with there 1 and 2 to win the semi's and the finals?

Who would be the top 3 guys for each team...This is what I think.

Plattsburgh
-O'Leary
-Kelley
-Campbell

Cortland
-Tone
-Ratliff
-Blanco

Brockport
-Shannon
-Gentzke
-Locke

Fredonia
-Carlson
-Hausler
-Saeva

Anyone have any other ideas about the pitching matchups of the weekend?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 28, 2009, 02:56:52 PM
There are a lot of guys named as they all do deserve consideration... but I did pick a first team.  And the second team was much harder.  What I did was name at least two guys in each position with the one I would put on the second team being the first one named.  The others are guys who I did consider and listed them because they were in the mix.

The player of the year was really tough... I had 5 guys in the mix, the three I named and Todd Allen (Brockport) and Jason Simone (Cortland).  Any one who is on the first team should be in the mix for this award...  but I arrived at the three I did based on their overall statistics.  Then I considered the roll they played in their teams dynamics... (from an outsiders view of course - the coaches may make stronger cases for any of the guys).

And a side note to that... I always do this... I mixed up Ryan Myers and Dan Randall when I looked at the conference statistics (I highlighted Dan's stats and not Ryan's).  So maybe Josh, Todd or Jason should jump ahead of him for the POY considerations.  But as I said, anyone on the first team should be considered... so I will stand by what I put in the post.  An argument can be made for all of them...

I agree with you on coach of the year.  Matt's team did a great job and had a terrific year!


Hope the tournament is as exciting and unpredictable as the season was!

I didn't change. Originally I said it didnt matter and I thought O'Leary could handle Game 1.  I still think he can.  I am adopting more to the Coach brown theory of your #2 in Game 1 and your #1 in game 2.  The same thought Mr. Maxwell expressed.  Experience is helpful but not the most important.  The dam n 2003 Marlins proved that.  Freakin Beckett and Burnett.

We are only 2 days from the first pitch of the tourney. I can't wait for this years tourney to start. Who is going to win this year? You have to favor Cortland as always because of the pitching staff they have. But you can't count out a team like Fredonia or Brockport. Plattsburgh could get its first sunyac win this year if they out slug a team. It will be interesting how this goes. Does anyone think Cortland will get a bid if they do not win the sunyac?

It depends on what happens nationally. The Dragons regional record is decent enough but this isn't the year IMO to leave it to the hands of the committee, especially with a handful of regional losses lately including to conference opponents, Ithaca and Keystone (2) plus the loss earlier this year to Montclair. I would say no to get in with an at-large depending on when they'd be eliminated. If it's before the finals then no and if it's in the finals, I'd go maybe at the best.

I think Bob is right on with his 1st team all SUNYAC and I agree with Steve Juedes as Pitcher of the year, Not only did he have a ERA of 0.00 in the conference games but he didn't allow a run unearned as well. He also leads in ERA overall at 1.77, if it holds up he will have won that ERA title 2 straight years as he won it last season at 2.11. In my opinion he got the shaft last year when he didn't get named to any all conference teams. Just incredible to me that Ferchen had possibly the Pitcher of the year and Dave Filak who probably will make a All- conference team and Jeff Carter the Freshman pitcher from Clifton Park won won 6 games and could be rookie of the year plus a better hitting team then they have had recently and Oneonta doesn't make the tourney, just a horrible job of managing in my opinion, the two games that just stand out in my mind is blowing a 6-0 lead in plattsburgh and a 5-1 lead in Oswego.

I believe that Cortland is 20-8 in region right now. Thats not a bad in region record(.714) What is the criteria that the committee has used in past years for in region winning pct? Are they looking for a specific # or do they actually base it on OWP?

Ithaca - 17-4((.810)
RPI 25-7(.781)
Are the top 2 in winning %
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on April 29, 2009, 02:16:40 PM
While the winning percentage means you are successful, they use a point system that is tied to the record of the team that you win or lose against.  A couple years ago they added to that a way to consider the strenght of schedule of the opponents of the teams you played too.

BUT as a starting point using a teams winning percentage is a good conversation point.

Based on records of teams in region, I don't see a team from NY getting a bid unless they win their conference.  Im disappointed that teams from ohter regions will be brought in to fill out the field, but to stop that from happening teams just have to win against a strong schedule.

I can't wait for the tournament either...

For the pitching matchups this weekend, I think Plattsburgh might see Assman or whoever their numbner three is.  I don't know why but that is my feeling.  Maybe because Plattsburgh hasn't seen him and Coach Brown wants to save his 1 and 2 for later games but that is what i believe happens.

Tough game today for the Cardinals falling to Cortland 10-6. Considering the howling winds and the rain delay I thought they showed a lot of heart staging a comeback. Their relievers (Greene and Noonan) shut them down, as they allowed only 1 hit in 4 innings. Billy Davis had a tough time, but I'm confident that he'll be able to bounce back tomorrow if needed. It's tough when you give up big runs early but I have a lot of confidence in them tomorrow as they face Fredonia. They've seen Carlson before and they have momentum leading into that game, which could prove to be an advantage. They have a great lineup that's ready to go and I have a lot of confidence in John Campbell if that's who they decide to go with. Goodluck tomorrow Cards!!!

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Bob Maxwell on May 02, 2009, 09:46:06 AM
Those in region losses happen in every conference tournament.  And teams that are "favorites" who don't win their conference tournament love others to fall too!

O'Leary was hit pretty hard yesterday, and when he came out of the game as early as he did, I wondered if he would come back again today... I don't think he threw that many pitches (25-30?).  But I do think it is going to be Campbell going first... with O'Leary coming back for the second game if they can win the first one.  It is too bad that Matt Kelly got spiked last week as his bat is missed... and despite the ERA, he is a senior who has shown he can pitch in this league.

I think it is an obvious choice that Carlson goes for Fredonia... I was mildly surprised that he didn't pitch yesterday against Brockport.  But Saeva did a very good job... he was strong throughout the game. 

I have to say that Jason Shannon did a great job for Brockport yesterday too.  IMO, he is one of the best pitchers in the conference... any time he is on the mound against you; you are in for a tough day with the bat.  He is much better then his 5-4 record and ERA indicate.  And I have to say good job to Joe Zaccardo for his day at the plate... He has hit the ball hard all year, and did it again yesterday.

Also, the front end of Cortland's batting order was very good yesterday... Gardner, Avery, Jackson and Nickel hit several ball right on the screws... If they continue to hit and the bull pen comes through they are going to be a tough out.  With Tone on the mound I don't think to many teams are going to beat Cortland.. espeically if they hit as they did before the rain yesterday.

I think that the pitching match up in the second game today will be Gentzke vs Ratliff.   Coach Brown seems to like to throw lefties against Brockport.

Wish we were there again today, but other obligations won't let us be there...

Nice win for Plattsburgh and another late inning come from behind win.  They have no quite in them.

As an alumni, i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders with this win and i am sure Doorey feels great about it but come 4 o'clock today, it will be a distant memory.  Congrats Cards but you still have more ball to play.  I don't want to see any of them until Sunday night!


I would also like to say nice season to Fredonia.   For the past couple years you could see their potential and they finally broke out this year and the next couple years should be interesting with 5 teams now going into the season expecting to make the SUNYAC's.

FIERY CARDINAL ATTACK ICES BLUE DEVILS!

CORTLAND, NY- The Plattsburgh State baseball team wins its first ever game in the SUNYAC tournament under the tenure of Coach Kris Doorey! After a shaky start by freshmen pitcher Dan Tracy, fellow freshmen Matt O'Leary and Senior Matt Kelley came in relief and shut the door on Fredonia's run scoring. The Cardinals proved that they had the heart to come from behind and felt the sense of urgency in the elimination game. Down 6-4 in the 8th inning, Senior Kyle Kowalowski started the inning with a single, followed by an Andrew Gooch double. Senior Joe Curcio then doubled to score them both, tying the score 6-6. Before the inning was over, Junior Andrew Baio hit a pinch-hit double to score Erik Schwind and Matt Burns, that put the Cardinals ahead for good 8-6.

The Cardinals 15-hit attack was lead by Senior Kyle Kowalowski, 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 rbi, and Senior Joe Curcio, 2 hits, 3 rbi's. Tory Bouyea, Andrew Gooch and Matt burns also chipped in with two hits apiece.

The Blue Devils were paced by J. Borst, 2 hits, 2 runs, 1 rbi and J. Basile, 1 hit, 1 run, 2 rbi's.

(WP) Matt Kelley, (LP) R. Carlson

Next up for the Cardinals is the loser of the Cortland/Brockport game, with a scheduled start time of approx. 4 P.M. Good Luck Cardinals!!!

As i said at the beginning of the yr, too much pitching depth for Cortland! Brockport gave it a go but the losers bracket is unforgiving on a pitching staff!

Looking at Cortland, If the top 6 guys hit at the regional like they did at the sunyac tourney, Cortland will be a tough out!
Defense seems to be coming around a bit and the bullpen did the job. add in the hot hitting and you have a good recipe for success in the post season.

Basically, if you're Cortland State, you know where you're going. That is, the Red Dragons will more than likely be playing in the Farmingdale, N.Y. regional as a number one or two seed. They'll be joined by Ithaca, the Liberty League champion, the Skyline champion and then potentially three out-of-region teams.

Offhand, I'd guess two teams from the Mid-Atlantic (one being from New Jersey IMO) and one team from New England.

Either Penn State Berks (Pool A NEAC, 21-20-1 record) or Penn State Behrend (if they win the AMCC tournament) could be placed in Long Island as well since I doubt the committee would want them both in Lakewood, N.J.  Berks could end up being the sacrificial lamb to the one seed in either Lakewood or Farmingdale in an eight-team bracket.

Congrats to Cortland.  As I watched the first game against Plattsburgh, I started to think that this year's team had heard plenty about how they werent close to the teams of years past and seemed pretty pissed about it.  They pitched, hit, fielded and walked off with three wins. 

If I were on that team I could keep playing the no respect card in the regionals because to me, that seemed like the difference this weekend.

If there was a year to steal one from Cortland it was this year. But no one could get it done. Maybe if Oneonta was in they would have given Cortland a tough time, or if they had to face Carlson or Shannon things could have been different in the tourney. Hats off to Cortland. They just continue to get it done year after year. I am more impressed this year than any other year. They weren't guaranteed a title like always. They had to work for this one and they got it done. Congrats. Depending on what teams are in the regional Cortland might have a tough time returning to the World Series, but I have a feeling they will find a way to get it done.

Oneonta's Steve Juedes becomes the first pitcher from a school other than Cortland to win the Don Axtell Pitcher of the year award. Congrates to him, he deserved it, 30 2/3 scoreless ball in conference play, that is something. He gets named to the 1st team as well. Filak gets 2nd team along with Scott Dubbin SS and Chris Brady 3rd base. Ryan Myers gets snubbed.

If Trinity comes to that regional, with RPI, Ithaca, Wheaton and an NJAC team, Cortland is not walking out of that regional....im sorry, but i really don't believe they are close to the teams of the past.

Tough luck for New Paltz couldnt get a player named, Terlecky should have been in the discussion there for 2nd team. I do think that Ryan Myers should have been named and how does Levy make first team? Greco from Fredonia should be bumped to first team IMO.

Why would you reference my quote?  It had absolutely nothing to do with what you said.  Nowhere did I say the Cortland was walking out of the regional.  In fact almost everyone on this board has been saying all year that they were not as strong as teams in years past.  I have yet to see anyone say on here that Cortland would "walk out of the regional". 

Drinking and posting at the same time is a dangerous activity.

I agree it is anybody's regional, but guess what? If Cortland pitches well and plays some D, they are a wicked tough draw. I know Cortland will have the deepest staff out of all the NY teams that will participate. The imports I have no idea about!
Pitching and Inf. defense is the key along with winning game #1.
IMO a 6 team regional would be better for Cortland because of the 1st rd bye and the depth of cortland's staff!
The 1 thing C-State has over everyone else besides Trinity is that guys on both those teams have been there and won before. There is something to be said for having been there and won.
Tone has got to win game 1 and Ratliff and Blanco have to be sharp when they get there starts!

Given Cortland's pitching tendencies in the past, you may not see Tone in game one. I think it depends on the opponent. Tone pitched against Plattsburgh in game one of SUNYAC's because he had just shut them down the week before - and, given Cortland's poor performance in the league, a win in the first game with a lesser starter wasn't as guaranteed as it would have been in years past.

On the other side of the coin, if Tone pitches and wins game one, he'll be available later in the tournament on short rest.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on May 10, 2009, 04:16:18 PM
I think it depends on who Cortland draws game 1 on whether or not we see Tone.
Is this going to be a 6 team or an 8 team regional? Has that been decided already?
If cortland hits like they did in the sunyacs, watch out. Pitching wise, tone, blanco and ratliff have to throw good games when they get starts and we have to D up!! No more 4 error games from the left side of the inf!
The 1 thing I do like is that alot of people are underestimating this club! I've heard from more than 1 person, "Not the same cortland, not as good as past teams etc...." Maybe that will put the little chip back on our guys shoulders like yrs ago when we were out to prove something!

In any event, it should be a great regional and i expect anywhere between 2-4 out of region teams in the ny regional! Too bad its not in central ny, cause there aint no way i'm driving to LI unless boardy barn in the hamptons has opened up early!

I think it's quite possible that Clarkson's Ace (pitkin) could throw a solid game against Cortland.  If Tone doesn't throw game one I expect this game to be a battle.  I think it was a few years ago Cortland was losing to Rhode Island College (6 seed) in the 9th inning because they seemed to take them lightly early on.  I'd start my number one and if Cortland gets a big lead they can yank him early and throw him on short rest later on.  I will not be surprised if Cortland wins this regional but I will not be surprised at all if they don't.

Oh I've driven five hours before, that's not that bad. When I did football at Cortland, we usually had beautiful four-to-five hour drives down to New Jersey for afternoon football games.

A few weeks ago I drove seven hours out to Cape Cod and back for a family vacation and every time I go with my girlfriend to see her family, it's six hours or so down to the Jersey shore.

Longest drives in no particular order 1) 12 hours, Syracuse to Virginia Beach, Va., by way of Philadelphia for the Women's Final Four around 4-5yrs ago. 2) 8-9 hours, Syracuse to Radford, Va., several times a few years ago from when I lived down there. 3) 8-9 hours, Syracuse to Brunswick, Maine, for Women's Sectional Hoops at Bowdoin. 4) 8-9 hours, Syracuse to Alliance, Ohio for a Mount Union playoff game.

Most of those have been solo though I was lucky to have Gordon Mann with me for the second leg of the drive down to Va. beach.

The original plan for this weekend was go to down to Lakewood to cover the Mid-Atlantic regional at the beautiful A-ball park. I have family not too far from there so it would've worked out perfectly. But, mylaptop decided to melt down last week so that kind of shot that plan. I didn't have the cash or time to get it fixed, so, I'll be spending a weekend on the shore, keeping an eye on the scores.

I didn't have the cash or time to get it fixed, so, I'll be spending a weekend on the shore, keeping an eye on the scores. 

I drove this past Thursday afternoon to Erie, Pa and then on to Troy early early Friday to catch the LL games.  I hate driving at night, especialy around sunset and right before sun-up.  To many dead deer, especially with a full moon.  I travel a lot for business, by car and plane, but mostly car.  I thought I was a Road Warrior.  It looks like you have a lot more "wheel time" than I do.

Ooof, that's a haul. Erie's a good four-to-five hours from here.

Most of my driving is done during daylight hours if possible, I don't like to drive long distances alone at night. Sometimes it's unavoidable but I don't like to do it. Dead deer and other various animals in upstate New York are a real possibility.

That being said, I'd rather drive for six hours than sit in the passenger seat.

What players from the SUNYAC will receive All Region Honors?
When does the All region team come out?

To be honest....I believe Cortland should pitch their #2 or # 3 pitcher vs Clarkson. Save Tone for a win the next game. It looks like Cortland is gonna be 2-0 pretty easily.
Thoughts?

I think it's quite possible that Clarkson's Ace (pitkin) could throw a solid game against Cortland.  If Tone doesn't throw game one I expect this game to be a battle.  I think it was a few years ago Cortland was losing to Rhode Island College (6 seed) in the 9th inning because they seemed to take them lightly early on.  I'd start my number one and if Cortland gets a big lead they can yank him early and throw him on short rest later on.  I will not be surprised if Cortland wins this regional but I will not be surprised at all if they don't.

Pitkin did a great job against Rochester, keeping them off-balance with his arm angle deliveries and how quickly he worked or varied his time between pitches.  Most of our guys were out in front on him.  They hit the ball, but at people.  He reminded me of Glushon from Emory a few years ago when UR played them at the UAA tournament in Florida.  With no disrespect to either Pitkin or Glushon, not over-powering, but could locate it fairly well.

BTW, in case anyone's interested. Both Dimino brothers are playing in the NYCBL this summer. One is listed from Cortland, another Monroe CC.

I guess that means that there's a chance they may be back at Cortland next season or at another school.

Looks like we have a Mike Avery situation all over again.  Brockport's Kris Gentzke is headed to Cortland St. to play for the Red Dragons next year.  Good move Kris, can't blame you for wanting a shot at playing for a national championship.  Best of luck!

Starvin,

That sounds real interesting, Kris is a very solid player and will def help the Red Dragons this year...my only question is where? With both Diminos coming back, Jason Simone, Kevin Jackson, Pezzuto and John Zilnicki all there, on top of any guys Coach Brown has coming in, that OF seems awfully crowded. Seems like he might be best suited for the mound at Cortland. Doesnt look like Kris is getting much time this summer in the NYCBL, not sure which team he is on, but his stats dont look like he is playing much. Too bad the Red Dragons didn't land a consistent playing SS or do they have anyone coming in to fil the void there?

Does anyone have any other news on any players coming into the SUNYAC?

Kudos to Dave Filak, looks like he is pitching very well this summer in the NYCBL.

Any early projections for the SUNYAC's? Sounds to me like the Red Dragons might just be reloading after a "down" year for them...


Hope the summer is going well for everyone, before we know it will be SUNYAC season

Nick Blanco has apparently signed with the Can Am League's American Defenders of New Hampshire. He's not listed on their web site roster yet but the signing is noted on the league's transactions page.

I thought he had eligibility left but I forgot about the two years he did at FDU.

How in the world could Coach Beach at Brockport let Kris Gentzke just walk out the door, let alone to another school within the conference? Kris looked to be the main run producer/arm coming back on that team. What is going on at Brockport, that place looks to be crumbling to ruins.

It's not like this is anything new in terms of a player leaving one SUNYAC program and going to Cortland. Offhand, Anthony Coromato from Oswego and Mike Avery from Brockport come to mind as two players that started elsewhere and ended up at Cortland. And I'm sure over the years there have been others and there will be more.

For the most part, Cortland is competing for a national championship every season. I'm sure that allure has a lot to do with it.

Do these guys just transfer on a whim without talking to anyone at Cortland?  That would seem pretty bold to leave a program where you're playing all the time without some type of discussion with the coach at the school you're transferring to.  Then again, I don't think you're technically allowed to talk to players at other schools until they've withdrawn from the school or been released...?

Has anyone heard about Cortland this year or Brockport and how they will be with players. Speaking of transfers from both schools, Kris Gentske and Mike Avery both went to Brockport and ended up going to Cortland, but Brockport did get a Cortland guy this there as well. Palmiero ended up transferring last I heard so Brockport did end up getting a solid infielder it should be interesting when the two teams play eachother.

P.S. Matt Tone is tearing it up in Single A!

Realistically, we won't know anything about rosters until the end of the year at the least. Transfers happen all the time for whatever reason and you don't know who's going to be on a certain team until the final  roster is released or the first game is played. This time two years ago, who knew that Travis Ratliff, then a freshman at Old Westbury, was going to end up at Cortland in the spring and help the team to the World Series. 

So, while there are rumors and word of mouth at this time of year about transfers from whatever JUCO or low-tier Division I schools (i.e. Albany, Siena, Bingo, etc.), nothing is definite until we get a lot closer to the start of the season.

Just to answer this question.  NCAA D3 rules are sort of loose here in that a student-athlete at one institution is allowed to contact another institution's coach by simply faxing a one page "self release" form, which gives the athlete and coach x number of days to talk about the prospect of transferring.  The coach or athletic department from said SA's current school does not need to have any knowledge of the self release form being sent and certainly do not need to release the player.  I'm sure this step is often skipped I'm sure but in the end it doesn't really matter if in the end, the player and possible new destination are allowed to talk without the other school knowing.

Good conversation - who wouldn't want to play at Cortland anyway.  I'm not sure what's up with Brockport, I thought they were on the same path with the additions of Rose and Allen last year in line with the transfer trend.

In case anyone is curious, several SUNYAC teams have their 2010 schedules posted, minus the spring trips of course.

Nothing too exciting for Cortland aside from games at NC Wesleyan against NC Wesleyan and Emory, a trip to Rochester and another home-and-home with Keystone. Basically, round up the usual suspects.

Looks like Oneonta is going to Vero Beach instead of Cocoa Beach. Maybe an attempt to improve competition! I believe it's Dodgertown there going to. Are any other teams changing locations? With rosters about 95% complete are there any big surprises or tranfers that will impact the sunyac's? Gentzke to Cortland I believe has already been talked about.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on January 06, 2010, 12:27:32 PM
Cortland's spring break trip schedule has been updated and IMO I think it's a pretty good slate.

3/14 - Stevens
3/15 - Wheaton (Mass.)
3/16 - Wheaton (Mass.)
3/17 - William Paterson
3/18 - Rowan
3/19 - Transylvania
3/20 - Wisconsin-Whitewater

While the roster is not yet posted, I have a pretty good idea of what Cortland has coming in and the Red Dragons should be a very dangerous team this year. The returning group obviously has a solid core of players but the new additions through freshmen and transfers along with several returnees that didn't play last year should have this team competing for a national championship.

Post by: Hobbesy on January 18, 2010, 10:25:23 PM
John,

Have heard from a couple sources that Cortland will rip the cover off the ball.  Your take?

Also, I heard they may not have the best pitching.

The regional is back in Auburn this year and they have to have Farmingdale etched into their minds.  I suspect Cortland St. to stroll through the weak New York Region and maybe get challenged at Falcon Park.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on January 19, 2010, 12:11:09 AM
Cortland is absolutely loaded with offense. Obviously the preview is coming out next week so I don't want to let the cat out of the bag too much but their offense should be better than last year with the incoming freshmen, transfers and who's back.

Pitching wise I think there are certainly questions in the bullpen just like last year. They do have several Division III transfers that can step into the starting rotation right away, one being the kid from Brockport that everyone already knows about and another being a really surprising one. Carney and Jweid will probably anchor the bullpen and DeRosa should see his fair share of appearances but his numbers last year were not that good. Closer will be up for grabs with Potrikus gone but I think Cortland should have someone to throw in there, possibly one of several incoming lefties.

As for whether Cortland will tear through the regional? I'll leave that for the preview but I will say that everyone thought Cortland would win the regional last year and it was upstart Farmingdale that won the first downstate New York-based regional in a while and went on to the World Series.

Cortland had like 5-6 mid semester transfers, including a SS, 2 very good lhp's and 2 very good rhp's! Add that to the lineup they have coming back and they should without a doubt win the NY regional again! J. Simone is the best hitter in the region and gardner, coffey and kevin jackson are all top notch d-3 hitters!

I wouldn't get too excited over Damon Arnold. Having seen him play, he is a serviceable player but not too much of an upgrade from Bailey or Pezzuto. Defense up the middle and the bullpen will still be the biggest need but the offense should be able to outslug opponents with all of the bats they have.

 I respectfully disagree that Cortland is going to walk through the NY region this year. Don't get me wrong, they are extremely talented and have been the team for a long time, but Oneonta is going to be tough this year and Brockport always plays them tough. Also, RPI Rochester and last Clarkson showed they can play with the likes of a talented Cortland team. Baseball is a fickle game and having a good pitcher have a great game or the bats going silent at the wrong time can spell doom. Was Farmingdale the best team in the Regional last year? Probably not, but they had it going at the right time and the pitching lined up well for them. Cortland will be there and will be a great team, but please don't discount the other teams in the region that have also shown they can compete and play at the national level. Also, the loss of a pro pitcher at the top of their rotation will not be easy to replace. Tone was a great talent and will not replaced by anyone stepping up or a transfer. Their other pitchers are good, but do they have the guy to step up and be the man. Thats easier said then done.


NY Regional 2010
Cortland
RPI
Ithaca
Rochester
Farmindale
Oneonta
New England Region
Mid Atlantic Region

Just my thoughts.....
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BaseballEliteNY on February 03, 2010, 02:32:59 AM
I think it is time to start the daily messaging back up for the SUNYAC baseball section. As always it looks as if Cortland will be the front runner to begin the season. Oneonta has some potential led by Dave Filak and his low 90's gas. As someone said earlier, Brockport always plays tough against Cortland. What about the other Schools? Fredonia has had some good talent in recent years, Plattsburgh is always competitive, and New Paltz has some hidden talent.

Cortland obviously lost the most in pitching with Tone, Blanco, Pottrikus. Avery is gone from the outfield, but they have the meat of the lineup coming back with Jackson, Gardner, Simone, and Nickel. Will they have a shortstop who doesnt have as many errors as games started at SS? As for the staff, Ratliff, Assman, Mahay are back. Transfer Adam Brown (Ithaca), and Kris Gentzke (Brockport). Ive heard of a junior college pitcher that transfered as well as an infielder (shortstop?). Also, to add more to that line up is the return of the Dimino brothers. Side note: those two are absolute FREAK athletes.

Brockport lost Gentzke to Cortland but has Zaccardo, Zimmerman, and Mccormick back. Williams, Joy are back on the bump... aside from that I don't know what else Brockport has. I have heard that they have a few junior college transfers coming in, a few potential future cortland transfers (just a joke!). I am not sure if Brockport will be able to compete as strongly as they have in years past, however, that seems to be the thing with brockport every year and they still surprise all of us with a great year. Somehow.

Oneonta has Dave Filak who was formerly a catcher. I will go out and say he is the first D-3 player taken in the draft this year. Filak will light up the gun again and is the obvious front runner for SUNYAC pitcher of the year. I am real anxious to see if he will pick up where he left off in the SUNYAC or if he will struggle a bit as he did in the NYCBL. They lost Judes, Brady, Myers but have Caputo, Linder, Randall, Hitt and Herzenberg, Anderson, Carter on the mound. They will be real competitive.

Plattsburgh has seemed to lose the most, Kowaloski, Campbell, Kelley... returning with Bouyea, Burns, Shaughnessy, Cauchon at the plate and OLeary and Tracy on the bump. They lost the only real power threat in Curcio and it is tough to know what they have. I'm not sure what Coach Doorey has coming in but I would imagine a decent freshman and a few transfers or maybe a junior college role player or two or five.

Fredonia lost their top 2 players, Basile and Carlson but aside from those 2 they have the core of the lineup and the majority of the staff returning. They look to be competitive and should pose a legit threat in the SUNYAC. I don't know what else to say about Fredonia, they went from dwellers to contenders. I think this is the year they make a run at something, I am just not sure what that something is.

New Paltz lost the core of there team in Shanks, Donohue, and Terlecky. They return with Merola, Marash, Paulicelli,  Boetcher, and Chelius (and Boetcher) on the mound. I don't see them being too competitve and I am not sure what they have brought in. New Paltz is a tough school to get into and makes it tough to throw a competitive team out there each year. Any hope they have seems to be in the hands of those mentioned to have the best years of there lives honestly. Boetcher and Merola are the 2 key bats they have and the pitching staff I don't know much about. I did hear something about a potential lefty handed pitcher they have coming in.

If anyone knows of any transfers or anything to any of the schools i'd like to hear it, get the hot stove burning. Season is only weeks away!

2b Meola is also back at Brockport and RHP AJ Bates is a juco transfer from MVCC is at Oneonta. Bates is a very good arm and led Proctor to a AA state championship in '07!
I forgot the Dimino's were back for Cortland. The 1 that plays CF (khyle)absolutely flies!!!!
On paper the SUNYAC won't even be competitve but thats why you play the games!
As far as the NY region, how are these teams looking: IC, RPI, UofR?
How bout Farmingdale??? Lots of baseball talent on Long Island so via transfers and some recruiting, they could turn themselves into a NY region/national powerhouse pretty quickly!!!

My official D3baseball.com New York region preview is available in the D3baseball.com Notables section.

Also, I don't Cortland is completely invincible. There are still legitimate issues in the bullpen and up the middle though with a ridiculous offense, they should be able to outscore anyone. Arnold probably takes over at short with Pezzuto out for the season and June will be at second. Or, one of the freshmen might jump into the line-up. The pen was a big sore spot last year and DeRosa wasn't the overall answer. Maybe one of the lefty D-I transfers could step in like Potrikus did a few years ago. I still think Cortland is among the favorites in region but they do need to work those two things out.

Is this going to be another year where we all sit here and talk about how Cortland isn't going to win and come up with all these reasons why and then come May  they are sitting atop the Regional thrown?

For all the Cortland haters, you just need to come to the realization that they are the best team in this Region. Too much time is being spent bashing them. Joe Brown has that team prepared every year, it seems as though nothing phases them. Oneonta can challenge them, maybe, with Filak on the mound, but then again Cortland did knock him around last year.

I will say that I think too much is being made of this Getzke to Cortland issue...IT doesnt seem to me that he was very good when it counted for Brockport, and if Corltand reallly has all these great players, where in the heck is Getzke going to play Having never been aournd him I can't comment, maybe he has some outstanding leadership qualities.

I mean the conference looks very top heavy with Cortland and Oneonta standing out...The bottom half of the conference looks downright awful. I even think that the NEw Paltzs, Oswegos, Brockports and Plattsburghs are going to struggle to post records much better than 500. It looks that bleak for some of these teams.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BaseballEliteNY on February 04, 2010, 11:17:41 PM
Gentzke is a solid arm to have either in the rotation or in the bullpen for Cortland. He put up solid numbers as a sophomore and especially with all the talk about Cortland having pitching staff issues. I am not saying Gentzke is the solution by any means, but what I am trying to get at is that he is a another peice of the puzzle for Cortland. There are other pitchers that were brought in as well. A left handed transfer from a 'division 1' school, a junior college right handed transfer, Adam Brown from Ithaca. All together, I don't see Cortland having that much of an issue with there staff as we make it seem. There are always years that see players step up, pitchers coming out of no where to light up the gun and post big numbers. I believe we will see a few players like this from Cortland. Now if we can only get some names to go with all these transfers...

Filak did get hit around by Cortland, I don't see him shutting down that huge line up. If I were Oneonta, I would save Filak and throw him against Oswego rather than Cortland (they play Cortland on Sat 4/17 and Oswego on Sun 4/18).

As for the other teams I don't see them being very competitive. Each team has a few legit ball players but not much support to go with that. The final 2 spots for the SUNYAC tournament seem to be up for grabs, I think this may be the year that we see a New Paltz or Fredonia in the SUNYAC Tournament.

Post by: scuba16 on February 07, 2010, 11:26:47 PM
I think Cortland wins the Sunyac easily and has got to be 1 of the favorites to win the NY region!!!
Reasons:
1. Its gonna take a pretty good pitcher, pitching his balls off to shut down Cortland's Offense for 9 innings...
2. The above scenario will need to be accompanied by the same team scoring a few runs, and Cortland will have 3-4 guys tossing it 88-92!!!! We all know changing speeds and location are the hallmark of a great pitcher but Velocity at the D-3 level eliminates 5-6 of the weaker hitters on the weaker teams!!! That leaves you 2-3 guys that need to have great offensive games in order for you to win!
3. Cortland has won for the past 17yrs and they know how to win!
Side note: Cortland is hosting the Regional this yr at Falcon Park so it will be interesting to see who gets the Pool B bid as IC won't be a shoe in for it! IC will have to have a pretty good yr to grab it this yr!!! Might be the 1st yr IC doesnt make the NY regional in a long time!!!

Dont sleep on Brockport this year. New pitching staff with some good arms and bats transfering in as well as many returners comming back. Meola,zaccardo, zimmerman, wroboliski (oswego) transfering in, and mccormick comming back shows promise for thier offense. Suprise will be from the pitching staff a few transfers to fill in the innings of shannon from last year, along with Joy,Locke and Williamson returning.Should be an intresting year in the SUNYAC.

Just wanted to introduce myself to the board.  I have been following the posts for about three years, and now that I am no longer playing in the SUNYAC I still want to keep up with the events going on in the conference and around the New York region.  I'm a graduate of Plattsburgh State, and as such I will be following them closely.  Being part of the SUNYAC for the past 5 years (1 of those years at Cortland, and the other 4 at Plattsburgh) has been a great experience and now I have to follow the action in any way that I can.  From what I have seen, everyone posts on what they know, and that is all I plan on doing.

It goes without saying that Cortland is the favorite this year to win the conference.  Coach Brown knows how to prepare his team to compete at even the highest level of division III baseball.  I can definitely see him improving the team's defense, especially in the infield.  If history has shown anything, it's that other teams will have their hands full in stopping Cortland from crossing the plate.  They will be at, or near the top of the conference this year.  Other teams in the conference might feel a little better about not seeing Tone any more, but rest assured that the pitching staff at Cstate will be deep and diverse.  It always is.

Plattsburgh will be very young, but they will be full of surprises.  They lost a lot of key contributors last year, especially at the plate.  Coach Doorey has proved that he knows how to get to the post-season by grinding out close games.  He built Plattsburgh's program from scratch and has made it to the SUNYAC Tournament every year since the reestablishment of the program.  The team knows this and Coach Doorey will make sure that his team is prepared for the season.  The pitching staff is young, but Dan Tracy and Matt O'Leary have proven themselves to be both though and effective.  Both ate up a lot of innings last season with good results.  Other newcomers will have to show a lot of guts on the mound to keep Plattsburgh in contention this year.  Tory Bouyea, Andy Gooch, and Pat Shaughnessy will produce good numbers at the plate.  Matt Burns, the only true 4-year player on the team, will have to provide leadership.  He improved every year and hopefully he will up his numbers again this year. 

Brockport always seems to put out a good team.  I think it's safe to say that they will be in contention this year, but not quite as strong as they were last year.

Fredonia showed some promise after last season.  Hopefully they can come back this year and give other teams a run, and maybe mix up the SUNYAC Tournament picture again.

Oneonta has a lot to gain from last season.  Filak is a force to be reckoned with on the mound, especially at this level, but when he gets tired, other teams benefit because he loses a lot of control.  I'll be anxious to see if his conditioning has improved.  I anticipate those returning from last years team will not settle for anything less than making it to the SUNYAC's. 

New Paltz has struggled and honestly I cannot say that that other teams view them as a threat.   Just the same, other teams can't walk in thinking they are going to be handed 2 games.  They did take down Fredonia and Plattsburgh last year, but they will need to come in with some big surprises this year to do some more damage.  I wouldn't mind seeing them take some big teams down this year.  Realistically, this might not be possible, but it would be something new to talk about.   

I don't know much about Oswego.  It seems as though they will be fighting a tough up-hill battle to prove themselves this year.

I'm not sure how I will handle being a spectator, but having a history in the SUNYAC will make this season enjoyable, no matter what the outcome! -KK

Weather conditions are cooperating in the far Northeast.  Chip Cummings field is free of snow and ice, which is extremely uncommon in the area.  Fingers crossed for good weather the rest of the way.  Hope the weather is cooperating in all other areas.

Cortland 7-0 over N.C. Wesleyan on Friday in first of three weekend games in NC .........

Post by: BaseballEliteNY on February 20, 2010, 03:56:54 AM
Well Cortland is off to a good start. Past 2 years they have lost the season opener. The pitching was solid. Looks like Ratliff is the #1 this year. He had a good line, 6 K's 1 hit in 3 1/3 innings. He worked out of a bases loaded jam in the 3rd. Hartling, a junior college transfer, threw just as well - 3 K's 2 hits in 4 2/3. The only tight spot was in his final inning of work, 2 errors placed a runner on 3rd base, followed by a walk, before striking out his final batter. Ed Southworth looks like he will take over in the closing spot, walked 1 but struck out 2 in his lone inning of work. Cortlands bats didn't explode, but they kept the pressure on NC-Wesleyan by putting a runner on base in all but 1 inning. Adam Dimino, Steve Nickel, Matt June, and Damon Arnold all had 2 hits for Cortland. The only interesting thing I noticed was the absence of Kevin Jackson in the line up. He was the 3 hitter last year. I had heard he was injured but he did pinch hit later in the game. Maybe he hasn't swung that much leading up to the first series of games. Cortland faces a solid Emory team that, in years past, have been in the national rankings. That game will be at 11:00am, hopefully with live stats.

Cortland St. second pitcher vs NC Wesleyan, Scott Hartling was the most impressive pitcher.  He was throwing gas!  Kept hitters on their toes.  It did not help we hat some horrible swings but I give credit to Cortland, they look solid.  A lot of nice defensive plays as well helped their pitchers.  We made some costly errors. 

When I arrived at game today was really surprised to hear Cortland lost 18-7. 

NCWC vs Cortland State tomorrow again at 11AM.

After a miserable performance by the Cortland St. staff yesterday - 14 hits and 14 walks - they came back today with an excellent game. Ithaca transfer Adam Brown threw 4 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball. He walked 1, allowed 2 hits, and struck out 3. Mike Mahay was roughed up a bit in his 1 2/3 innings of work - 5 hits 2 runs 3 strike outs and 1 walk. Brockport transfer Kris Gentzke followed Mahay with a solid 1 2/3 outing, allowed 3 hits with 1 walk. Ed Southworth finished it up with 1 inning, 2 strike outs, 1 walk and 1 hbp. The offense had a productive day, led by Steve Nickel, Matt June and Alex Coffee.  June went yard and Coffee had 3 RBI. Nickel added 2 extra base hits. Aside from Mahays rough outing, the only other negative note was 2 errors by Cortland shortstop Damon Arnold.

Cortland came out as the overall winner of the Coldwell Banker Tournament of Champions in North Carolina. After a first weekend of games, I think Cortland played well. Obviously it is tough to come out and just play with everything clicking after being inside for a month. From what the box scores show it seems that Cortland has a good core of solid arms. Although Assman did not pitch well, he has been a solid contributor in the rotation for the past 2 years. I expect to see him bounce back after a rough first outing. Something I did notice in that game vs. Emory is that both teams walked a lot. Emory walked 8 and Cortland 14. Perhaps there is a bit more to it than both teams being a bit wild. I am not going to make excuses for the Cortland Staff, and although I was not at the games, I would imagine that both teams were being squeezed a bit. Emory obviously made the most of there base runners and got some key hits. Cortland next takes the field in a week and a half down in Long Island. They have a 3 game set against Old Westbury, Mount St. Vincent, and Farmingdale. Hopefully the fields are playable.  A few posts before this one from a Wesleyan fan/parent said that Hartling was impressive. I wonder if he will get a shot to start in Long Island. Hopefully these 10 days off they can get the few kinks worked out and looking like the Cortland teams from years past.

Plattsburgh bounced back nice today winning two on friday after dropping their first game of the season.  I don't remember all the scores but i know they lost 6-1 yesterday.  O'leary won the first game today and went the distance.  Greene started the second.  Plus they got redemption by beating the team they lost to yesterday. 

Hope the rest of the season goes good for the Cardinals.

Old Westbury Coach Brown?  What an embarassment!!  Way to get your team prepared to play.  In the last two years, Cortland has lost to teams that normally have no chance of beating Cortland in a regular season much less with a World Series birth on the line.  The program is headed south my friend whether you believe it or not.  Time to take some accountability.  Easy thing to do when all is going well isn't it?  What a joke!

The Cortland schedule says the game was to have been played at Baseball Heaven in Yaphank. Was the game moved? Cortland tied the game in the top of the ninth and lost when the score reverted to the eighth inning when the game was called because of darkness. Those fields have lights. Did someone lose the key to the electrical room?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on March 06, 2010, 01:10:58 PM
I don't think Old Westbury is that bad of a loss. The Panthers are the top threat to Farmingdale State in the Skyline and return almost everyone from last year's team minus the stud pitcher that was the first Division III player taken in the 2009 draft.

That said, an offense with that many weapons shouldn't have problems scoring runs. Looking at the box score, Kevin Jackson and John Zilnicki both did not play and you had Adam Dimino in the clean-up spot.

As was previously stated, Cortland always losses a game or two to a team it shouldn't. It's early in the season, I don't see this as that big of a deal.

Listen, I understand the variables in baseball that allow any given team the chance to win no matter the difference in talent for example.  However, I don't care if Joe Torre is coaching, Jose Reyes is at short with Ichiro in center, Cortland or at least the teams of the past DO NOT lose to Old Westbury or allow Farmingdale St. the opportunity to represent the region at the World Series.  Brown gets outcoached by coaches with far less talent on their roster.  Brown  makes his players scared to compete or fail because he cannot objectively take blame for team failure and this is the result, a loss to a far inferior team.  The level of talent at Cortland has for far too long covered up the head    coaches true knowledge of the game and overall ability to make changes in coaching philosophy year in and year out.  Just blame the players when all else fails. Just my observation and opinon as a spectator on the outside looking in.

Thanks for the Plattsburgh update jack31.  Looks like the cards struggled to put hits together in their 6-1 loss to Manchester.  I don't know what Coach Doorey was thinking in starting Cory Johnston in the season opener.  In my opinion, he is not the best choice for a starter and I don't see him putting the Cards in a position to win.  Brian Burns came in and did a good job over the final 3 innings.  He only allowed one hit and had 4 K's.  The Cards struggled on offense, but I think playing for the first time outside had something to do with that. 

Yesterday the Cards avenged this first loss to Manchester with an 8-6 win and an additional win against Penn State-Berks (9-4).  Good to see that the offense picked up in a big way.  They had a total of 21 hits on the day (10 in the first game; 11 in the second).  Matt O'Leary continues to win games by hitting great spots and being able to throw any pitch at any time in the count.  Hopefully the Cards will be able to keep up the intensity in today's games.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on March 06, 2010, 04:20:18 PM
Looks like I got an answer faster than I thought.  Plattsburgh beat Wilkes 3-2 and Penn State-Abington 8-4 this morning/afternoon.  Dan Tracy had 11 K's in 7 innings of work.  The Cards had to work for this win. Ther isn't any info on the Penn State game yet.

Plattsburgh is showing a lot of character early in the season.  The can grind out a close game, or take an early lead and keep scoring runs to cement a win.  It's still too early to evaluate how Plattsburgh will fare later on in the season, but Coach Doorey has to feel good about his team's performance.  The bus ride home will definitely be much more enjoyable for the guys.  They just have to take these wins and build on them.  They will have to in order to beat strong teams like Cortland, Oneonta, Brockport, and Fredonia in the near future.

well said Marvin.... JB philososphy is grab these D2 bench warmers and they will become D3 superstars.....not.... transfers OK but to dump the guys who work hard up through the system for this new bunch of hopefuls is just bad management skills.   Teams are built and learn to play together for some time . in order to be sucessfull.  When will the AD notice the Joe Brown who showboats and publicly humiliates his players in front of 200 fans for missing a signal or missing a cut off.  The time to do this is in practice sessions ....not games......the bottom line is that except for a chosen few, his players do not like him.....you can not win with that going on......Cortland wins despite JB  not because of him....... just my 2 cents

Post by: pudge27 on March 06, 2010, 05:27:36 PM
I've got to say that I think it's pretty weak the way that a lot of people on the boards for NY Region are piling on coaches.  If it's so damn easy and anybody can do it, go ahead.  I saw similar comments on the Liberty League board and I think it's mostly BS.


Yelling at kids for missing signals and blowing assignments?  Being wound too tight when your livelihood is at stake??  Putting too much pressure on guys?  This is really what we're talking about?  I've got to tell you that if that's the barometer, Cortland has been a really tough place to play for 20 years or more.  Maybe guys need to get some thicker skin or just plain tougher if it's bothering them so much.  Probably not bothering them as much as you.

Could coaches sometimes get more from their guys by loosening up a bit?  Probably, but that's for them to figure out.  Somebody who didn't know better would think that they're sitting on MLB level talent and just tanking it away.  Is Cortland more talented and deeper than most everyone else?  Sure, but you basically take a leak on the whole restof the region by ripping on them for losing to what looks like a decent squad.

Relax, its a marathon not a sprint!!!! Cortland will right the ship and play well eventually. When you get right down to it, the only thing that matters is winning the SUNYAC and the getting the Automatic bid(Pool A)!
The way I look at it is that you are playing for that regional bid and if it takes a few losses early figuring out who plays well together, its worth it!
As far as throwing guys under the bus for transfers..... lets remember this is college sports not modified! The best guys play regardless of their age, yr in school or transfer status!
You can look at every coaching decision made by every coach in America that doesn't work and rip it with hindsight! You should have bunted after your 3-4 guys k with 1st and 2nd w no outs......no kidding. You should have taken the P out after the 1st pitch gopher ball after you visit the bump... duh!
Not saying JB hasn't made mistakes in the past but what coach hasn't????
Maybe Cortland loses 10 games this yr.... so what!
I know we'll be in the regional mix at the end, we have been every yr since 1993!

Cortland wins 2 today against Mount St. Vincent. In game 1 Hartling had 1 bad inning. Looked to have a kid rung up looking for the 3rd out on a 3-2 pitch and from there it was a snow ball effect. A few hits and a home run led to 5 runs. Hartling finished the inning with a strike out. Steve Nickel and Adam Dimino both hit home runs. Dimino hit one of the farthest balls I have ever seen hit - clearing the light towers and over the road in left. He added a few stolen bases. Mike Mahay came in for Hartling and struggled, followed by a short outing by Gentzke who also struggled. Finally, Ed Southworth came in for an extended outing (4 outs I believe). He threw better then the other 3 but he even struggled a bit with control. In all a very sloppy game for the pitching staff. Game 2 was the complete opposite. Mike Assman (as I said in a previous post that I felt he would bounce back) threw an absolute gem. He looked sharp, he pumped the zone, and his curve was filthy. He must have had 8-10 strike outs in a complete game effort and only a handful of hits. Kris Gentzke launched a ball opposite field for a 3 run home run and Jason Simone hit an RBI triple that wound up being the game winning run (prior to the Gentzke home run). Steve Nickel played solid defense at 3rd all day with a ton of assists and a few nice plays.

On a side note... Late in the 1st game Anderson Gardner pulled up short scoring on a single, it looked like a pulled hamstring or even a lower leg injury. He was not catching, but rather DHing... interesting thta he wasn't catching and hasn't been catching and now this injury which kept him out of game 2.

This is laughable. JB is perhaps the most knowledgeable and dedicated baseball guy around. He's got the highest winning percentage among active D-III coaches and is third ALL-TIME! Sure, he's had good players...because he recruited them! LOL. He's got 18 years worth of former players that he keeps in touch with and not because he had them wound so tight they couldn't play well. For those who want to bash him, I can only imagine that they must have been cut or didn't play under him because they just weren't good enough.

Just remember all these silly comments at the end of May. This may be the best Cortland team ever. The game vs. Farmingdale may prove to be the galvanizing ingredient this team needed. 7 games in 7 days vs. good opponents in Florida will tell the story of the pitching depth and whether this team is tough enough to advance past the Regionals, which they will be a part of....again...for the 18th straight year!

Everyone wants to knock the "big dog" off the top of the mountain.  People can say what they want about Cortland, love them or hate them, they still have and probably will have for a longtime to come, one of the elite programs in DIII in the country.

When I talk to people that know about college ball, or have a relative or son in a DI program, and I tell them my son plays ball in New York, they ask if he plays against Cortland.  People know about Cortland because of their reputation for having a winning tradition.  So, they got beat by Old Westbury.  Big deal!!!!  Nothing is perfect.  Teams have bad games and bad days.  They are Cortland and you still have to respect the program.  You may not like them or think they are anything special, but make sure you can take care of business when you play them.

Last time I checked the New Jeresy Nets still had a few wins this year, which means that good teams lose to bad teams.

westbury pitched Fordyce again against Kean.   Close until late innings....Fordyce is a pitcher not a thrower.... hits his spots , changes speeds and pitches around guys who can hurt you..... thats the reason he had success against cortland.....the Cortland lineup has huge holes in it that a good Pitcher who hits his spots along with a good scouting report can keep you in a game against a lineup like cortlands.   there are guys in that lineup who will try to pull everything. and guys who you have to pitch inside, they are a potent offense but you need to be a pitcher not a thrower to beat them.  you are not gonna throw the ball by them....... westbury and fordyce did a good job doing that.... congrats on a good win..... just my 2 cents

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory or defeat.

From Teddy Roosevelt's speech at the Sorbonne, ...words some of the posters on here could take to heart on occasion.

sorry hot rod   next time i'll just post the box score....... just hoping for a little parity in sunyac,   not the cortland show ... if you know what i mean....... speaking about jb cutting guys...... maybe he should have the nuts to tell the guys who show interest that they probably wont see the field , instead of blowing smoke up their butts telling them the position is yours next year......maybe he dosen,t know talent as well as he thinks....maybe there is a motive here ...  just look at cortlands rosters over the last 10 years ....guys with 20 at bats over 2 years and cut. most of these players cut just quit baseball cause jb cut them. and  Most of these players cut would start at any other sunyac program.....maybe there is a motive here to keep sunyac weak....iI don't know.......look every body wants to play for a winner...but tell the guys who won't see the field that they won't be a good fit.....and let them move on to another program...... maybe then we will see some parity in the sunyac programs......just my 2 cents

Point well taken Whitey and although I share many of the same views regarding the Cortland program and their coach, I'm not sure I totally agree with your last point but I do respect it.  A DIII coach has the luxury of being wrong when projecting a recruit without feeling the impact of that mistake for four years until that player frees up a scholly. That being said, bringing in as many talented players as possible only creates positive competition     at virtually every position which makes kids better.  Most kids who end up at programs like Cortland are well aware of the challenge and are willing to take that chance to be a part of something special.  No player should ever feel comfortable with their spot on the team regardless of what a coach may promise them and again that's where depth and competition prevent complacency. We live in a society where kids learn at an early age a sense of entitlement instead of work ethic and the reality of things not always going your way in sports or life in general.  I cannot knock the Cortland coach for his recruiting efforts because he's taking advantage of a resource that few schools have and exploiting it for the benefit of the program.  Kids tend to recruit Cortland as opposed to the other way around which is rare.  I stand by my previous criticism of the program and the person running it but I also have no problem calling a spade a spade or giving credit when it's due.

My point in sharing the quote from Roosevelt wasn't a plea for sensitivity...it was just a quote to give people who don't coach at the level as Coach Brown does, the opportunity to understand that until they've done something remotely close to what he has, they really don't deserve to lash out like that. Of course, and absolutely, everyone should be able to post their opinion...100% agreed ...however, it irks the heck out of me when that opinion is sooooo wrong and uninformed...yeah, people on his roster that don't play could start for any other SUNYAC team?!? Like who? And based on what performance? What are you even talking about? Did you see someone play in high school 3 years ago? Most kids who go to Cortland and fail, do so because of their own shortcomings, usually in school or socially...usually not because of failure on the field or because of the coach. Count 'em up and get back to me, you all-knowing guru of the SUNYAC..all the kids who left the program because of the tyrant coach who has the kids all wound so tight that they just can't possibly function...it's kind of funny that you make the comments about sensitivity...a little hypocritical, no? I guarantee that JB could care less what anyone on here thinks of him or his coaching philosophy. And I also guarantee that he will continue to do things his way...because he does it right,wins, kids graduate and succeed in life...how many other programs can match the numbers? It'd be pretty interesting to see accurate comparisons between the SUNYAC schools. I think most AD's would love to have a guy like him coaching any of their athletic teams. He strictly adheres to the rules, monitors grades and academic progress of all his players and they usually end up graduating..oh, or playing professionally and then coming back to school to get their degrees. Enough said.

Pretty heady stuff in here for State U. grads (so am I).  My two cents on Cortland.  30 plus wins and three or four 40 win seasons in there every year minus 2004 (29-16).  Although Coach Owens is the architect, Coach Brown still has kept up the level of play.  He has been putting players into the draft with similar regularity and the program is widely considered a top 5-10 program nationally year in year out.  He kind of reminds me of Boeheim some, until Jimmy B won it all every one regarded him a bit less then they do now.  Personally, I could care less if they win it.  It would not change my opinion of arguably the most consistent program possibly in the whole region across the board for men's sports.  Plattsburgh & Oswego hockey, Cortland lacrosse, etc.   That program has to be in the mix.  Remember too, they get everyone's ace every weekend.  That is tough to face.  Imagine what would happen if the SUNYAC went to a four game series like the E8 and Liberty Leagues??  Can you picture the day two scores of Cortland vs. Fredonia or New Paltz?  Whether players like his techniques, or whatever, he has the wins to back it up.  Now, I know people will argue that anyone could coach there, facilities, admissions, phys. ed, etc...  Easy to say that, and not all the teams at Dragon land are regular NCAA teams.  Lot to be proud of in that program.

The standard to measure the success of a coach is not always wins and losses but the way in which he or she runs all aspects their program in my book.  I cannot dispute wins or individual players success.  However, I cannot praise a coach who compromises integrity at the cost of winning as applies to the coach in question.  If were gonna point out all the good then we also need to be aware of the bad.  Allowing suspended players to play in big games?  Contacting players who are already enrolled and playing in another program? Practicing outside the time alloted by the NCAA?  The list goes on and on...I care not to debate this topic any further but those are the facts.  In my book, there's a guy right down the road from Cortland St. named George Valesente who does it the right way.  That's a coach who deserves praise!

Congratulations to Donny Coolidge from Plattsburgh State for being awarded the SUNYAC player of the week honor.  Donny's work ethic is hard to match as far as being physically and mentally prepared to play.  He is an "old man" by college baseball standards, but he returns after a couple years off in top shape. 

Donny has been a member of the Marine Corps. for almost 5 years, and spent the 2007 baseball season balancing his duty to our country with college baseball; not an easy task.  He has been deployed twice (Africa and Iraq) which is one reason why he has not been in the SUNYAC picture since 2007.  Donny's character and dedication are both things that every college athlete should strive for.  Donny is "always faithful" (Semper Fidelus) to his teammates and will take on a leadership role this year for a young Cardinals team.

Kyle Kowalowski was redshirted at cortland, then made second team All SUNYAC his first year at Plattsburgh.  I have no doubt other players siting on cortland's bench could be major contributers at other SUNYAC schools.  As for the rest of the JB  discussion, i really have no opinion of him since i never played for him.  I just wanted to make a point and provided you with an example since you asked for it.

2 more wins for Plattsburgh today in a DH vs. Bethel.  The Cards had to battle back from a 4-0 deficit in game 1 and ended up winning 10-7.

The Cards took game 2 pretty handily by a score of 14-7.  Overall the offense looks pretty good with a lot of players having multiple-hit games.  The pitching definitely needs to shape up and stop allowing 7 runs per game.  For now, the W's are all that matter and Plattsburgh is riding an impressive 7-game winning streak early in the year. 

Side note:  Plattsburgh defeated Scranton 10-7 yesterday in come-from-behind fashion.

Side side note:  Cortland is up on Wheaton 6-2 in the top of the 4th

Cortland will be one of the best teams in NY, but there are other temas in NY that can put up a good fight. We saw last year that the best team doesn't always win. They will be fine. It is baseball and teams if they are playing a good schedule should not go undefeated. If your undefeated after 20 games, most of the time you are playing some walkovers. NY teams are coming out of the gym and people should expect some early season loses because of not being game ready yet. They'll be fine and win over 30 games in the regular season.


Cortland 32-8- my prediction

Did anyone hear the same thing I heard that Filak was bringing it up to 95mph in his first start?

Just my thoughts.....
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on March 15, 2010, 09:03:32 PM
Brockport takes one from Dickinson in extras (10-9; 10 innings). 

Filak at 95?  Pretty impressive by any standards.  We all know that his velocity is up there, but it will be interesting to see what he hits consistently.  It looks like he is doing well so far.  0.69 ERA with 26 K's in 13 innings of work and a 2-0 record.  Oneonta looks like they are doing a good job at righting the ship after last year's disappointing season (7-0 to start the season). 

Fredonia is 3-0 in Fort Meyers Fl.  They are scheduled to play some of the same teams as Plattsburgh this week (Scranton, Bethel, Millikin, Minnesota-Morris).  These games should give us a good comparison of the two teams and how they might stack up against each other later on in the season.  Of course, nothing is absolute, but it's fun to think about seeing as these two teams will be fighting it out (along with Cortland, Oneonta, and Brockport) for the top spots in the conference. 

I hate to leave out New Paltz and Oswego, but there's not much to tell.  Oswego dropped a pair in their season opener and New Paltz is 2-1.  Maybe some more numbers from them and we'll all have a better idea if either team might give the "favored" teams a headache come conference games.  I don't see it happening, but I'm not counting it out.       
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: cs2to6 on March 16, 2010, 02:32:37 PM
New Paltz split a double header with Salisbury today winning game one 6-3, and losing game two 4-1.  I'm not suggesting they are one of the top 4 conference teams, but maybe, just maybe, they are not horrible either.  In any event, how about a well done for one of the SUNYAC teams.

Plattsburgh takes 2 today from Lakeland today (9-3 and 11-3).  Offensive production has been consistent, and I must say, better than last years at this time in the season.  Not bad for supposedly losing a lot of bats from last year.  I guess we'll have to see if this holds up.  Honestly, I hope it does.

Cortland takes a close one from Wheaton (6-5) and Brockport has a tough day against WNEC, losing a 10-0 game

Its pretty easy to crush a guy(JB) anonymously on a public forum.... Having said that, JB is doing a a good job at a place where winning is expected! He recruits well and gets some $ transfer. Lets face it if you are a good player and leave any school to come back and play in NY, Cortland is the place to be! Its tough having alot of good players on 1 team, all expecting and wanting to play. It takes some coaching moxy to pull together the ego's that go along with having a number of talented players all on 1 team! 33-6 is right around what Cortland will finish the regular season at..... Barring a catastrophe, they will win the SUNYAC and be a serious contender to win the regional..... Another 30+ win season and people will still be calling for JB's head! JB, you can't please everyone, so just keep winning!

Scuba - totally agree. JB does a great job of managing a ton of talent. They'll be right where their supposed to be when all is said and done.

Looks like the SUNYAC and the LL are having some good starts to the season. Maybe those 2 leagues can protect the NY region. Ithaca is having a tough time scoring runs to start the season and is 0-3.

I know people have been going on and on about Joe Brown and Cortland for days now. Heres the thing. Cortland is a winning program and will continue to win because they continue to get talent year in and year out. Guys want to play there because they want to win. Why do you think guys like Avry and Gentzki from Brockport transfered there... they wanted to win. Guys that try to go D1 out of high school and dont play end up going to Cortland because it is a D3 powerhouse where they will play and win. Why wouldnt you go to Cortland as a transfer if you can? Why wouldnt you go to a place where you know you are going to win? And if Joe Brown was that awful to play for then guys would not go play for him. He is tough, just like every other coach in the sunyac or any other conference is I'm sure. He just expects more because he wins all the time. That program expects to win and will continue to win because D1 and Juco transfers will continue to go there and occassionally a great high school kid will make it in. Brown will only take guys that will help him win. And that changes from year to year. At Cortland they dont rebuild, they reload. They always lose a few in the beginning of the year and then they rattle off 30 straight. The only team that might be them in the sunyac is New Paltz....... haha just kidding, sorry New Paltz fans but you will be at the bottom of the barrell as usual. Filak might get them but not likely. Cortland sunyac champs, just another year for them.

Totally agree and winning is very attractive to competitive players!!! We have gotten quality transfers every yr since I played like15-16 yrs ago!
Cortland will lose now and again in SUNYAC play but they are deep. They have guys platooning that could start at almost all of the other SUNYAC schools and top arms to run out to the bump with regularity! That's why Cortland is very tough to beat yr in and yr out in the double elim format that the SUNYAC and NY region both use for tournament play!
Got beat today and they are 2-2 in FLA but its more important to figure stuff out early and play well late!

I Played against Joe Nathan in 1995 NY regional. He for Stonybrook, I for Cortland. He was a stud SS and threw bullets to 1B.
That was the same yr at the WS, we were watching Osh-Kosh in game 1 and couldn't believe there were so many scouts at the game. We sat behind 5-6 scouts and were looking at their radar guns and thought they were broken. 94, 95, 94, 93, 94, 94........... Unknown to us at the time, a lefty named Jarrod Washburn was throwing absolute aspirin tablets for Osh-Kosh!

Well, Joe Nathan and Coach Doorey played together at Stony Brook together.  IIRC, they were even roommates.  However, I don't know if they roomed in the dorms or "just" on road trips.  Either way, thats pretty cool.  I heard Nathan meet with the Plattsburgh players to sign some autographs and take pictures with the players.  Must have been a nice experience for the Plattsburgh players.

I also heard Paul Molitor coached third for the twins team.  Again, pretty cool. 

As far as the game itself, i heard the Cards lost it in the last inning.  I don't think any pitchers threw more than 2 innings and they got more hits as a team than the Twins team.

Plattsburgh sweeps their Florida trip and ends up at 13-1 to start the season.  Yesterday they swept Minnesota-Morris (8-1; 8-2).  Tyler Green tossed 6 perfect innings in game 1.  Today they swept Millikin with their aces, O'Leary and Tracy on the mound (no scores up yet).  Every day the whole team is contributing and getting better, especially in the pitching department.  I have to say that I am impressed with their ability to manufacture runs on a consistent basis too. 

We still have a long road through SUNYAC play to see how things will shape up.  Every coach and player knows that those are the games that matter the most.

I have to give Cortland and Coach Brown credit for beating a very good Whitewater team today...nice job!  However, I'm happy for the other SUNYAC teams who have started off doing well but let's be honest folks.  Brockport plays a very respectable schedule and New Paltz did play a strong Salisbury team well but Oneonta and Plattsburgh PLEASE! A win is a win and I get the momentum thing but playing a weak schedule as these programs do is of no value.  Sorry if I ruffle some feathers but if you want credit then earn it against the big dogs of DIII!

I gotta admit Marvin, you got a good point.  I want to believe that Plattsburgh can play with any team on any given day.  They have shown a lot of promise and swept teams that Fredonia lost to in Fort Meyers.  That's all we can really tell from their performance, and Fredonia's. 

Cortland has history behind them and that is why they get to play against better competition during their spring trip.  Other powerhouses want to play them to see where they stack up.  Likewise, Cortland  wants to play other good teams for the same reason.

No offense taken in the "ruffling of feathers" thing.  It's a valid argument.  A lot of questions are left unanswered during this part of the season.  All we have are our opinions.  We just have to wait and see what happens later on in the season.

Kski, your comment is very much appreciated!  Nothing but respect for the Plattsburgh program and the players who have worked hard to establish it as a respectable program in such a short time.  I don't even like to put it in the same sentence as Oneonta but would just like to see them challenge themselves a bit more early on in the season that's all.

Today they swept Millikin with their aces, O'Leary and Tracy on the mound (no scores up yet).     

Kski,
Plattsburgh beat Millikin 5-4 in the first game and 3-1 in the nightcap.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on March 21, 2010, 06:24:36 AM
Plattsburgh 5 Millikin 4

Plattsburgh State's Donny Coolidge had a 2 out, 2 run double in the top of the 7th to break a 3-3 tie against Millikin. Danny Roeser had a walk and Tory Bouyea singled to set the stage for Coolidge's go ahead hit. Matt O'leary went the distance, pitching a 6 hitter with 6 K's and improved to 2-0 on the year.

Plattsburgh 3 Millikin 1

In the 2nd game Dan Tracy followed up O'Leary's complete game with one of his own as he threw a 4 hitter with 2 strikeouts and didn't allow a walk. The Cards scored 3 times in the 2nd inning as Danny Coolidge tied a school record with a single to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. He then stole 2nd and 3rd, before scoring on a sac fly by Brandon Cross. Later in the inning Crockett Pack and Anthony Presto hit run scoring singles and that was all the support Tracy needed.
He improved to 3-0 and lowered his ERA to 2.56. Millikin was coming off a 10-2, 9-7 double header sweep of Fredonia the day before. Cardinals extend their record setting winning streak to 13 games.

Plattsburgh finished their current road trip at the Gene Cusic Collegiate with a perfect 9-0 record and now stand at 13-1 for the year.

Cardinals are off until Saturday March 27th when they travel to Long Island to take on St. Joseph's in a noon double header.

Hello all! This is my first post, I played in the SUNYAC for three years and I loved my time playing, and now I want to be able to stay connected to it through some good conversations with you guys.... I was just wondering as the first conference weekend approaches, any predictions by any of you on how it will all unfold???
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jack31 on March 26, 2010, 12:48:03 PM
well i guess let me be the first to say welcome!

there are alot of former players here with alot of good insight into the SUNYAC. 

What team did you play for?  I ask because it would be nice to get some opinions from people around some of the other teams in the conference. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on March 27, 2010, 05:34:15 PM
Plattsburgh State runs their record to 15-1 today with a sweep of St. Joseph's (L.I.) 3-2 in the 1st game and 5-1 in the 2nd game.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on March 28, 2010, 04:07:13 AM
First, it's good to see a new member on the board.  BalancePoint, I'll join Jack in welcoming you to the board.  It will be nice to have a new point of view. 

Second, conference play has finally started.  New Paltz picks up a key W against Brockport.  There were some field difficulties so the first game started 3 hours late, and this was the only game played by these 2 teams.  The second game will be made up later on in the season.  I must say that I am very glad New Paltz came out with a W.  Give them some confidence and see how they can compete with the rest of the conference.  Pre-season predictions have Brockport in the conference tourney.  One loss shouldn't count them out.  Field conditions might have played a role in their level of play, but we shouldn't take any credit away from New Paltz.  They have proven themselves by beating Salisubury.  Can't complain about a team shakin' thinks up early in the season.

Cortland takes 2 from Oswego.  No shake-up here.  Cortland did what they needed to do.  Cortland has to beat those teams that they are supposed to beat in order to keep their status as the top team in the conference.  They definitely started off on the right foot. 

Plattsburgh swept St. Josheph's in non-conference play.  This takes their win streak to 15 games.  O'Leary and Tracy went  the distance in each game.  No doubt that these guys are seeing what New Paltz is doing.  The Cards will have to prepare extensively to make sure they can start conference play on a good note.  They begin conference play against New Palts at Chip Cummings Fied on April 10th.  Plattsburgh will prepare for these games by playing a bunch of Liberty League opponents (Skidmore, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence), as well as Old Westbury (Skyline) in the coming weeks.

Cortland beats up on Keuka today. At one point they were down 2-0... crazy. Brockport SWEEPS Oneonta. Oneonta doesn't pitch Filak?! Filak hasn't thrown in 2 weeks . . . anyone with any information on him?? Weather didn't really cooperate this weekend but hopefully next weekend will be better.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: onesix3 on March 29, 2010, 08:26:45 AM
Not pitching against Brockport in a SUNYAC doubleheader should be enough to tell you he's not 100% healthy. When he is 100% the box scores will tell the story. Yesterdays conditions were not condusive to pitching succsess! In 2 games there were 18 pitchers,38 runs,7 wp's,8 errors,6 pb's and 2blk's! Theses are just the numbers,not excuses because both teams faced the same conditions. Un fortunately for the pitchers it resembled a beer softball game. 20 to 40 mph winds blowing straight out to right field made it adventurous. The flag never drooped in 7 hours of baseball.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on March 29, 2010, 07:56:07 PM
Kind of figured that Filak wasn't 100%.  Just wondering if anyone had specific details at all.  Sounds like it was an adventure playing in those games.  Wind like that will make coaches and anyone on the bench hold their breath when a ball is hit in the air.  Like you said though, no excuses.  Both teams had to play in the unfavorable conditions.

Sorry for being short with the explanation,but having to deal with young adults and injuries is not a subject I like dealing with! From what I heard second hand(if that doesn't sound reliable don't repeat it)he tweeked his elbow in Florida.How I'm not sure,but this i know,he didn't throw alot of pitches.But sometimes you don't have to.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on March 29, 2010, 09:55:28 PM
No offense taken.  I just like to keep up with all the information from all the teams.  It's difficult, especially when you only have reliable contacts on one team in the conference, in my case it's Plattsburgh (guess I'm just a rock-eater at heart).  In any case I hope he bounces back.  I really want to get a chance to watch him throw again... This time from the bleachers. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: onesix3 on March 30, 2010, 06:53:35 AM
It was certainly to Brockport's advantage not to face him.But as I said before its hard for me to see kids who work hard at their craft shut down for an injury.Hopefully Filak and Dubben will be back soon.Two players Oneonta cannot afford to lose!

Plattsburgh sweeps SUNY Old Westbury 5-4 and 3-1.  Plattsburgh came from behind and scored 2 in the last inning to take the lead in game 1.  O'leary started and pitched well but Tracy picked up the W in relief. 

Tracy started game 2 and gave up 1 run on his way to a 2-0 record on the day.  The Old Westbury pitcher threw well also.  Plattsburgh scored three in the first on some miscues by Old Westbury, but was shut out the rest of the game.

For all you Cortland homers, the left side of your infield plays extremely poor defense and until that situation improves, which it won't, this team is going NOWHERE.  The head coach is an infield guru...one would think that infield defense would be their strength but every game the same guys make error after error...hmmm
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on April 04, 2010, 02:41:02 AM
Plattsburgh taking 2 from Old Westbury was definitely a pleasant surprise.  I thought that they might lose a bit of their edge after a whole week off from playing games.  A 17 game winning streak is extremely impressive.  Staying focused for that many games is not an easy task, especially since the past 4 games have been very close.  Those guys are coming through in clutch situations.  That mental toughness, along with some key hits can prove to be the deciding factor in close games.  How the Cards play in SUNYAC games is yet to be determined, but I think we can expect some good old fashioned barn burners against good teams.  These guys haven't even played a game on their home turf yet.  That should be where they are strongest.  They don't have a lot of long-ball power (other than Pat Shaughnessy who is 155 lbs. soaking wet), and if anyone were to field a team at Chip Cummings field, power would be the last thing you would look for in recruits.  Pitching wise, Dan Tracy picked up both wins on the day.  This kid had a lot of potential last year as a freshman.  He looks to have improved himself this year.  He keeps people off the base paths, and runs from scoring.  Hopefully he can keep hitting his spots. 

The strength of Plattsburgh's opponents has been noted by some, but any team that can stay focused enough to beat average teams day-in and day-out leads me to believe that they are above average and deserving of their #26 ranking (possibly climbing).  Rankings really mean more to an opponent.  The higher you are on that list, the bigger the target is on your back.  For instance, everyone in the conference, and no doubt the region, wants to take out Cortland.  They are still good, and the the other teams in the conference respect and recognize them as a good ball club (maybe because of that target).  Soon, Plattsburgh might be part of that crowd.  It will be interesting to see how they respond their ranking since they have never been in this position before. 

Good luck to all the teams in the conference.  I can't wait to see the rest of them play.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on April 05, 2010, 08:45:27 AM
I definitely agree.  New Paltz shouldn't be taken lightly.  They have split with Plattsburgh the past 4 years.  Plattsburgh will have to break that cycle.  Oneonta will  be a tough match too.  Healthy, they pose a big threat.  If they aren't, I guarantee they still won't be taken lightly. 

Hopefully the weather holds up this week so all the teams can get some work done in non-conference games.

Plattsburgh State extends their winning streak to 18 games as they travel to St. Lawrence and defeat the Saints 11-4 Tuesday afternoon. The Cardinals scored 4 times in the 4th inning to grab a 4-2 lead and scored 4 more in the fifth to break the game open. Freshman Mark Plante improved his record to 2-0 as he went 5 innings to get the win. Plante gave up 2 runs on 4 hits and had 3 strikeouts. Tyler Greene threw the final 4 innings to pick up the save.

The write up on this game is on the front page of D3Baseball.

Plattsburgh has moved into the D3baseball.com Top 25 poll for the 1st time in the program's history as they moved up from the others receiving votes category into the #23 spot just 15 points behind #21 Cortland St.

The Cardinals also moved up 8 places in the ABCA Top 30 poll as they now check in at #18, the highest ranking in team history.

Plattsburgh continues a busy week as they travel to Potsdam on Wednesday to take on Clarkson College in a doubleheader. Saturday will be the 1st time all season the Cardinals have been at home as they open SUNYAC play with a doubleheader against New Paltz. Plattsburgh winds up the weekend as they travel to Oneonta on Sunday for another doubleheader against the Red Dragons. Next week has another 7 games on tap. 3 more wins and the baseball Cards will beat the 20 game win streak that the basketball Cards had 2 years ago when they posted the best record a Cardinal hoops team ever had when they finished 27-3.

As a 1987 graduate of Plattsburgh, I am pleased to see them have success on the diamond.  Especially since they didn't HAVE a team when I was there from '83 - '87! LOL

So you know, they have a few more to win to match the '86 -'87 hockey team's 27 game win streak.  And if you play the University of Rochester at any point, I will most decidedly be rooting against you as my son will begin playing there beginning next year!

Good luck.....for now. haha

Baseballislife,

Glad to see I am joined by another alum of Plattsburgh.  There are a few others on this board that graduated from there too.  As Plattsburgh's program grows older, there are more and more people supporting the program up there.  This support helps them build a team like the one they have this year.  A lot of alum are very involved with the team still.  Whether it be keeping up with the games as posted online, or pursuing an assistant coaching job with them to help the next generation, a lot of our alum are in constant contact with current players and coaches just to see how they are progressing.  I don't know if anyone has done anything as impressive as Coach Doorey has in the past 7 years.  Winning coach of the year multiple times and taking a team (still in it's infancy) to the conference tourney every year since their reinstatement.  They are taking a step forward every year.  That next step gets tougher every year too.  It seems as though they may be on the right track to taking another step this year, but it is too early to tell. 

Winning their 18th game in a row is nice.  I just hope they don't get too used to coming out on top.  Their true test will come when they are faced with adversity.  A loss or key injury could force them to show their true character.  How will they respond when/if they experience a blowout loss?  I can tell that these kids are prepared for every game because they can grind out the close ones.  Honestly that's something you just can't teach. 

On another note, I don't think the Cards will be facing off against UofR any time soon.  Those 7 hour non conference trips are Pretty rare.

You mean to tell me you'd root for your son's team over your alma mater? ??? :o At any rate it looks like you won't be faced with that decision this year unless the Cards and the Yellowjackets meet in post season play. Regarding winning streaks, I have to believe it's harder to win 18 in a row in baseball than it is to win 27 in a row in hockey since pitching is so important. I'll be surprised if the Cardinal's winning streak survives this weekend but I'm sure hoping it does.

18 straight is something to be proud of...remember cortland did run of 38 in a row in 08 i believe....personally Im still not sold on any other team in this conference but Cortland. Although they are not playing good at all right now, in order to be the team you have to beat the team. I think this weekend will be a telling sign for the entire conference.  all in all i think the entire conference and region is weak, which stinks because it further validates the NCAA committes sending out of region teams in to our region. With a region this size, there is no reason we cant field all 8 teams in the regional field... just my opinion

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the New York Region is one of the smaller regions in the country so it's no surprise that it does not field 8 teams solely from New York.  New England is swamped with teams and should rightfully have additional teams sent to other regions.

Both New England and Mid-Atlantic regions are massive which is why usually there are teams sent in from those regions. Mostly from New York you'll have the AQ winners, Ithaca and then possibly an at-large if RPI loses in the Liberty League tournament and then of course the out-of-region teams. It hasn't deviated much from that aside from the one year that Ithaca and St. John Fisher both got in or Cortland and Brockport in 2004. And 04 I believe was the last time a second SUNY team made it in.

Well, that 18-game win streak of Plattsburgh's is no more.  Clarkson got the job done today and handed the Cards a 14-9 loss.  Most of the stats aren't up yet.  Plattsburgh needs to forget that loss and prepare for upcoming SUNYAC games.  I would much rather see them lose this one than the SUNYAC games.

Watched Plattsburgh today and I hope they just had an off day because if you were to ask which team was 18-1 or 5-11 you would not have guessed P-burgh as the 18-1 team.  Outhit 19-6.  No worries though, it all comes down to sunyac play.  Still Cortland's league to lose, Brockport is sneaking up the ladder again.

Post by: Kski on April 08, 2010, 03:09:32 PM
Glad to see someone was there to see how the game went down.  Looks like one of Plattsburgh's local freshmen took the loss on the mound (Andrew Price).  It will be very interesting to see how the Card's do in 4 games in one weekend.  Tracy and O'Leary can only do so much.  Rest assured, Coach Doorey will ride them as long as possible.

I'll be watching Cortland this weekend.  It's always better to get a first person account to see what they have.  If they come away with 3 or 4 wins they should be in good shape.  I don't think there is any doubt that they will be in the tourney come May, but it's always nice to see them challenged by other teams.  It makes things more interesting at the end of the year, plus it facilitates conversation here.

SUNYAC always comes down to one game and i bet it does again this year. it's going to be a tight division this year i can tell. Brockport, Plattsburgh ( who had an off day against Clarkson) Oneonta and even the top hitting Fredonia are all contenders against Cortland. Don't be surprised if Fredonia sneaks one by Cortland this weekend. New Paltz even has an ace this year that can get them some solid wins. Watch this close race til' the end, i guarantee ya. Brockport looks tough as usual, it'll be interesting this weekend to see how it starts out

Cortland scores 5 in the bottom of the 8th to break a 6-6 tie and defeats Brockport 11-6 in game 1 of a DH.
Cortland pounded out 16 hits and the 4-5-6-7 hitters for Cortland combined for 10 of them. Tom McCormick had 3 hits for Brockport!

Cortland stops Brockport 11-6 in opener, striking five times in the home eighth to break a tie and provide fifth lead change. RDragons 11-16-1, Port 6-13-1. J. Simone cracks go-head rbi single and A. Gardner has two-run  triple in the uprising. Port uses seven pitchers, CSt five including mighty work from hometowner E. Southworth. Strands go-ahead Port run at third in the eighth with two strikeouts. Closes. A. Dimino, K. Dimino split six hits in win, T. McCormick has three and like rbi number in defeat

I believe the first game between Cortland and Brockport has been protested.Let's get the results of the protest before a victory is earned. I assume it's about an illegal substitution in the bottem of the seventh inning.This was not a judgement call but a black and white rule book infraction. Not my opinion,just relaying the info.

I remember this tactic. Coach Brown pulled the same switcheroo in the 2006 regionals against Eastern Connecticut State. Bill Holowaty was very quick on the trigger for match-ups and would, at least in the tournament, go out to the mound before the batter reached the plate to change pitchers. I think this may have been in the title game also. Cortland I think is losing and Dan Maycock is either scheduled to bat or in the on-deck circle. Coach Holowaty doesn't want his pitcher facing Maycock so he goes for the switch. Coach Brown possibly counters and another batter comes out of the dugout and takes some swings though is never announced and never gets up to the plate.

Once everything is settled, Maycock trots up to the plate to face the relief pitcher. Obviously, Eastern is livid because it had appeared that Cortland was sending up a pinch hitter in place of Maycock. Though the sub wasn't announced and never entered the batters' box. That said, Maycock ending up getting out anyways so the switcheroo went for naught and Cortland lost.

Interesting stuff.

If we're reading this correctly, pretty cut and dried. If Brown's replacement player not yet announced into the game through the umpire, and on his official lineup card, original player still in the game. Sounds like Port jumped the gun with pitching change before Cortland replacement officially entered the game. Tis why coaches first approach ump and check out official lineup. Are we missing something? Common stuff, at least the way we approached it.

First off,I appreciate your interpretation of the events that took place prior to the protest. But what if the alleged pinch hitter stepped into the batters box and what if he was announced into the game? I think it's worth checking into.I'm not sure this is "common stuff". With any individual or program their reputation  preceeds them. I think most people know JB would do anything within his power to win as would most coaches. Lets just make sure the rules were followed.Which is why we will let the judicial process work!

163,

Im just not clear here on how this protest is going to work. Like everyone else is saying it seems pretty cut and dry, the player was never checked into the game officially and it seems like Brockports Head Coach pullled the trigger a bit to qucik to bring in his reliever. He made a mistake and jumped the gun a bit to quick.

Kudos to Brockport for jumping back and getting two on SUnday, easily could have been a let down day for them.

In your scenario, "was announced into the game" by whom? The PA announcer (yeah, you Fran) or the PA upon order of the umpire. Umpire making the move official is critical. Or maybe they have some sort of reentry rule$%&? Does SUNYAC still allow courtesy running for catcher to speed things up?

Were you at the game, or like us getting second-hand info? And, yes, if there's someone who knows the rules and makes them work for his side it's JB
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on April 12, 2010, 10:29:03 AM
The umpire has to announce the player into the game as he is either apprised of the move by the pinch hitter or the head coach. If the umpire does not signal the player into the game and inform the PA announcer and official scorer, then said player is not in the game.

The PA announcer usually goes on the umpires signal for substitutions but as someone that has done PA for baseball and softball, occasionally, you announce the sub before the umpires signal. Ninety-nine times out of 100 it's not a big deal since the move is made and Player X comes into pinch hit. That's what happened here.

Brockport will get another chance at Cortland in the playoffs, they can get back at them then.

Dont sleep on brockport this year. They have played a tough half first of the season and have played very well. 14-9 Overall and 11-3 in region. Out of the 9 losses 4 have been in extra innings losses and 7 have been decided by 1 run. Cortland better look out because we all know that brockport is a end of the year team and although they did get swept by cortland the first game was the catalyst and being at cortland we all know they are going to get the calls to go thier way. Zimmerman, McCormick,  have been swinging hot bats and pitching staff has been very impressive besides cortland outing. Congrats to Steve Locke on throwing the frist no hitter in brockport history yesterday. Lots of good players have come before keep it up brockport. Were all pulling for you to dethrone the dragons.

Plattsburgh 11 runs 18 hits 3 errors

SLU 6 runs 5 hits 0 errors

The Cardinals jumped out to a 4-1 lead after 1 and added 1 in the 5th and 3 more in the 7th to make it 8-1. SLU scored 2 in the 8th but Plattsburgh put 3 on the board in the bottom half of the inning. Saints with 1 hit, 2 Plattsburgh errors and 3 walks scored 3 in the top of the 9th to make the final 11-6.

Freshman Matt Seymour went 7 strong innings to pick up his 1st win in a Cardinal uniform.
He allowed 3 runs on 4 hits with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts.

Plattsburgh improves to 21-4 while St. Lawrence falls to 11-10.

Hey John, your interpretation isn't entirely true. You don't have to announce anyone into any game using the umpire. The players intent to bat(stepping into the batters box) serves as the announcement!  The telling the umpire and the other coach is just a courtesy. As a coach, you can pinch hit when you like without involving the umpire, the announcer or the other coach. Same thing holds true for entering a defensive substitution! After the first pitch, that defensive replacement player has officially entered the game regardless of who was notified.
Think of it this way, what is the penalty for not announcing a pinch hitter or defensive replacement? There is none! You can't call the batter out or disqualify the defensive replacement. You as the umpire, have no grounds to do so! The only reason I know this is because I have it happened to me and I have also done it before! Its really not the most diplomatic thing to do but none the less very legal!
The batter or coach either has to tell the ump of the substitution or simply step in the box!

Did the play completely decide the game? No, it didn't. Cortland scoring five runs in the bottom of the eighth was the difference.

Let's move on.

There are some big doubleheaders on tap this weekend including Cortland at Oneonta, Cortland at New Paltz and Brockport at Plattsburgh. The Cards have traditionally given the Golden Eagles fits and this looks like it should be a pretty even series. Kudos to Brockport as well for scheduling games at Clarkson the following day - those are two teams that typically don't play one another.

Elsewhere, Oneonta has Dave Filak back. One would assume Cortland will see him on Saturday in game number one. Despite being hurt for a little while, Filak still leads the nation in strikeouts per nine innings. New Paltz, despite some bad losses, looks like a dangerous club at home and they do have a victory at nationally-rated Salisbury.

Basically kind of a tag for a right hander that doesn't throw very hard but can mix speeds, locations and keep hitters off balance with more breaking and slower stuff. I'd liken the tag to a Jake Dennstedt though I'm not comparing him to Jordon in this discussion.

As soon as I posted I knew someone was going to fire back with Greg Maddux...

My point was just that because of the natural movement a left-hander can get away with throwing the ball slower than a right-hander. Case in point, that is why hard throwing left handers and left handers in general are so highly coveted.  The term crafty right hander is some what of a oxymoron.

Plattsburgh got embarrassed by Castleton the other day by a score of 18-4.  Word is that they showed up and looked as though they had no desire to play.  That cannot be happening if a team like that wants to stay in the playoff hunt.  Forget being nationally ranked in previous weeks, they now have to prove that they are still a good team.  I still have faith in them, but they are the ones that are on the field and they control what happens this weekend.  They gave up too many runs against Clarkson, New Paltz, and Castleton, which may foreshadow run production this weekend for their opponents.  Early in the season the Cards were giving up a lot of runs, but they were getting the offensive support they needed to win games.  Plattsburgh has a lot of "crafty" righties that will have to step it up and get some outs this weekend.

Yea especially since they're playing Fredonia this weekend. Even thought Fredonia looked terrible this past weekend with cold bats and mediocre pitching, they are still the #1 hitting team batting average wise so it should be a decent matchup up in Plattsburgh this sunday. Perhaps Plattsburgh's a little tired and need to rejuvenate quickly to get their acts together.

Plattsburgh took the second game against Fredonia (6-5).  Plattsburgh scored 3 in the bottom of the 8th to take a 6-3 lead.  Fredonia made a big error that allowed the Cards to score those runs.  CF dropped routine fly ball and Plattsburgh worked off of that.  Fredonia didn't give up though.  They were able to score 2 runs before giving up an out in the top of the 9th.  Plattsburgh ended the game with a double play with runners on 1st and 3rd.  Very close game.

Plattsburgh takes 2 in extras from Brockport.  Plattsburgh took the early lead in game 1, but Brockport battled and took the game into extra frames.  Errors killed Brockport as Plattsburgh scored the game winner in game 1 on some infield miscues.  

Brockport had the early lead in game 2, but once again errors were the deciding factor.  Brockport tagged the ball really well, but stranded a lot of runners.  Plattsburgh loaded the bases with 1 out in the 11th on an infield single (ss fielded the ball cleanly with runners on 1st and 2nd, but couldn't decide where to throw the ball... mental error).  Tory Bouyea beat out a double-play ball in the next at-bat to win the game.

Congrats to New Paltz freshman Chris Chismar, who struck out a school-record 20 batters in the Hawks' 2-1 win vs. Oswego today. Chismar is the ninth pitcher in Div. III history to strike out at least 20 batters in a game, and the first since 2003, according to the NCAA Record Book.

The only other SUNYAC pitcher on that list was Dan Jordan of Oswego, who fanned 20 batters vs. Hobart in 1991. Oneonta's Scott Meyer struck out 19 vs. Brockport in 2001.

Thanks to New Paltz SID Doug Herman for tipping me off to this accomplishment today.

With only a few games left in SUNYAC play, the field is still open aside from Cortland locking a playoff spot. I saw the Cortland/New Paltz game this weekend. First time seeing New Paltz play this year and I will tell you what, that team is a much better New Paltz team then previous years. They went with 2 freshman pitchers against Cortland and they both threw real well. Had New Paltz cleaned it up on the defensive aspet of the game then it may be a different outcome. A bunch of big errors really hurt them. Judson didn't seem to have it this Sunday, I didn't see the game but he has been a staple in that rotation and you expect him to bounce right back. The NP line up had a few good sticks. One to point out was Boetcher. He can swing it. Cortland went at him real tough it seemed. Bringing in Southworth (in the 7th) to face him with the bases loaded, 2 outs, was a big spot and a bold statement by Joe Brown as to what he thinks of Boetcher and how much confidence he has in Southworth. Southworth fell behind but came back with a good 3-1 fastball that Boetcher just missed and wound up popping out. He swung it well all day even though the stats don't show it (3/10). He was on every fastball and every offspeed. Cortland just capitalized on every NP mistake, which is what good teams do. Each error by NP cost them dearly. The Cortland starters (Brown and Ratliff) threw well enough to get by, but NP kept the pressure on them. In the end it came down to defense and bullpen. Cortland with the clear edge. Nickel and Simone just absolutely rip, enough said.

1. Cortland 9-1, locked a playoff spot. 1 win and they once again host SUNYACS (was there really any question?)
2. Plattsburgh 5-3, Cortland (2), Oswego (2)
3. Brockport 4-5, Fredonia (2), New Paltz (1)
4t. New Paltz 3-4, Oneonta (2), Fredonia (2), Brockport (1)
4t. Oneonta 3-4, New Paltz (2), Oswego (2), Fredonia (3-3 tied after 8)
6. Fredonia 2-5 Brockport (2), New Paltz (2), Oneonta (3-3 tied after 8)
7. Oswego 2-6 Plattsburgh (2), Oneonta (2)

Interesting games left. Looks like it could be the same 4 as always... New Paltz could play spoiler though. It will be tough to sweep Oneonta with Filak throwing one of the games... but it isn't impossible. I am pulling for New Paltz, I would love to see what they can do in the playoffs with 3 freshman who all throw well and a stud lefty. It will be a tough road to Wallace Field, but it is a very real possibility.

Thanks for the fair assessment BaseballEliteNY.  It's always good to hear a well thought out evaluation on the board.  I am definitely pulling for NP to come through.  It would be nice to shake up the tourney again this year.  Being a faithful Plattsburgh alum, I hope it's not at the Card's expense though (life will go on if it does though).  The way Cortland has been playing in conference sure seems to indicate that they will enjoy the comforts of Wallace field again.  The conference is down to the wire.  Can't wait to see what the weekend brings us.  Good luck to all.

I agree. New Paltz is young but may have a shot.
I was impressed with there 1 through 4 batters in the line up, the middle infield players and the center fielder.

My prediction is:
1.Cortland
2. Plattsburgh
3. Oneonta
4. New Paltz

I don't see Brockport getting in the way they've been playing lately. I think Brockport and/or Fredonia would have to win out to get the 4th spot

Post by: cs2to6 on April 22, 2010, 09:34:44 AM
I saw Cortland play, and they have to be the favorites to win the conference.  Although I would like to see New Paltz make the playoffs with that young team, the stats suggest otherwise.  They seem to have enough offense, and 4 starting pitchers who can keep them in the game.  Unfortunately, they are last or next to last in the league in fielding percentage.  According to some who have watched them play, defense was their strength in the win over Brockport (3-2), and  Chismar was just lights out versus Oswego (2-1).  Conversely defense was their undoing in game two versus Plattsburg, and the DH versus Cortland when they had something like 10 errors in two games. 

NP is a young team.  If they rise to the occassion defensively, anything can happen.  The next couple of weekends will be exciting with so many meaningful games on tap.  I do, however, believe in the end it will be Cortland, Plattsburg, Oneonta, and Brockport playing for the league title.

I think Cortland is going to lock up the #1 spot and hosting, no question of course... plattsburgh, oneonta and fredonia. I'm going to go with a long shot here because I always like to pick the underdogs. Fredonia needs to win out in order to make it, and with them hosting Brockport and hosting New Paltz, on 2 separate weekends means they get to throw their number 1 and 2 each weekend so thats a huge plus. They also got their bats going against plattsburgh once again so that will make them more of a contender, however their fielding is questionable with dropped balls and errors. I just don't think plattsburgh's going to be able to pull one out against Cortland they looked iffy in a couple games and cortland is just red hot right now with the exception to the game against Filak so i don't see plattsburgh taking the number one spot. Oneonta will easily lock up a spot with their pitching and power hitting. Exciting weekend ahead, can't wait to see what unfolds.

The real question is how far will any of these teams go and who has the potential to take home the title. Cortland is the heavy favorite going into each year with their resume of years of dominance. However cortland doesn't have a stud pitcher this year that can single handedly dominate a game, which leaves it up to their offense to produce victories, which is possible but wont be easy for them when they face nearly every teams number 1 pitcher. New paltz has limited talent, its freshman pitcher chris chismar is an exceptional freshman, however he is not as dominant as other pitchers that will be in the tournament such as mlb prospect dave filak(who has a chance to break chismar's record against oswego this sat). The playoff tourney will come down to the draw of the seeds, oneonta has an automatic victory when filak pitches which will weaken other teams if they waste their number 1 in the same game. My advice would be to save your pitching if you face Filak, this young kid has enough talent and heart to beat any d3 team in the nation and even many d1 teams which is why the mlb scouts love him. The sunyac championship to be taken down by either cortland or oneonta.

I wish I could make the trip to watch.  If the games were in Plattsburgh, then the story would be different.  I'm hoping for a couple decent games.  Plattsburgh's track record at Wallace field is not very good, but they have a team that can keep themselves in the game.  If Cortland gives them the chance to capitalize, they will.  Cortland has the offense to blow it open and not look back, so that could be the difference.  Plattsburgh's hitting comes in spurts.  They will have to keep the pressure on Cortland if they want to so much as keep it close.

hello all, i havent been on the board since last year. but its almost time for post season play so i thought i would make an appearance. first off id like to send my congrats to cortland on another dominating year. oneonta has made a strong comeback and will once again be in the sunyac tournament. brockport and plattsburg should also make the tournament unless something drastic happens. i found it very entertaining that people actually believed that fredonia or new paltz would creep in this year. fredonia was a fluke team last year with 1 good pitcher and oneonta had a down year last year. this year everything is back the way it should be. the usual 4 teams in and the bottom 3 getting about 3 or 4 wins in conference play. no doubt new paltz is much improved but are still far from making a conference tournament anytime soon. and fredonia is fredonia what more do i need to say. and oswego, you might as well call them the new sunyit  of the conference. now its just a matter of figuring out the seedings. can someone actually take down cortland this year? i dont think so but heres my theory of how it could be done. if you match up with cortland in the 1st round you have to throw your number 1 guy. if you arent you should throw your number 2 or 3 guy in the 1st round and hope you can out hit the other team. save your number 1 for cortland and if you beat them then you have a reliable number 2 or 3 left with some help from the pen maybe. too many times teams throw their number 1 in the 1st round not against cortland and then either lose or get crushed in the next round by cortland with their number 2. then they have to waste their 3 in the losers bracket then be left with an unreliable 4 or 5 starter. most teams have maybe 2 or 3 starters they can count on. use them wisely. basically you have to hope to have cortland have to beat you twice on the last day or have someone else beat them for you. no one except the '04 brockport team has been able to beat cortland twice in the same tourney. hard to do. this is just my opinion, either way i cant wait for the tournament 2 weeks away.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: scuba16 on April 25, 2010, 09:49:55 AM
Cortland looks a little bit vulnerable this year ;) Especially to Filak and Oneonta. Cortland is deep but IMO doesn't have that dominant #1 guy like Filak.
Offensively, Cortland is head and shoulders above everyone else but a guy like Filak neutralizes Cortland's offense!
Having said that, Cortland is a tough double elimination tourney team due to their depth on the mound and the Offense is really good. Simone is a hitting machine!
Problem for the other Sunyac teams, u throw your #1 once and he is pretty much done for the tournament. Even if Cortland loses in round 1 or 2, they will feast on your #2, #3 and #4 guys for the rest of the tournament!
I think Cortland still wins the SUNYAC crown, but it might get interesting if Oneonta can grab a first or second round W!
Also, both Brockport and Plattsburgh played Cortland tough in game 1 of their respective DH's!
Should be interesting.......

Was at the oneonta new paltz game.  Filak seemed to have an off day but still went 7 strong with 9k's.  New paltz couldnt play defense to save there own lives reason being why the scores are so one-sided.  Cant take anything away from oneonta though, they kept the pressure on the weak defense all day and hit the ball well at times. 

Chismar pitched game 2 and coming off the 20 k game didnt have his best stuff either. Stuck out 9 through 5 and a third but got hit pretty hard.  If oneonta stays hot they will be a tough competitor in the playoffs.  Crazy thing is if New paltz wins out, they make it in over brockport because they'll have swept brockport durin the season. Should be an exciting final weekend.

A lot of talk about the Cortland staff and not having an overall #1 and I do strongly agree with that. However, what Cortland lacks in having a #1 they make up for by having a ton of solid, very strong, number 2's - all who would be easy number 1's on any other team aside from Oneonta. Travis Ratliff, Adam Brown, Mike Assman, Scott Hartling, Mike Mahay, Kris Gentzke - any one of these could be a number 1 at another school (aside from Oneonta). Matt Tone and Jimmy Dougher were great pitchers that the staff was centered around, however know you have a staff with a bunch of 1a starters. Ratliff and Mahay are 2 great lefties. Brown and Hartling are the power rightys. Assman and Gentzke, are the rightys who mix it up (both still with good velocity, I don't think as hard as Brown or Hartling, I could be wrong though). Oh yeah and Cortland has just an insane lineup. Speed, Power, Contact... Simone has struck out like 3 times or something this season - that is ridiculous. Matt June 5 times. Nickel has 8 home runs, Gardner and Dimino with 5. Both Diminos are double digit in steals, along with Simone. Cortlands bullpen has been alright as well. Hourihan, DeRosa, DeGroat, Southworth have put up good numbers. Also, Mahay, Hartling, Gentzke coming out of the pen isn't too bad either.

Plattsburgh State clinches a playoff spot with a doubeheader sweep of Oswego State on Sunday afternoon, to finish with a 7-5 conference record. The Cardinals won the 1st game 21-12 grabbing the lead for good with 5 runs in the 5th inning to go up 11-7. Plattsburgh took an early 3-0 lead in the 1st but the Lakers came back to go up 4-3 in the bottom of the 2nd. Plattsburgh scored 3 more in the top of the 3rd to regain a 6-4 advantage that was short lived as Oswego scored 3 times in the bottom of the 4th to go back on top 7-6. After their 5 run 5th inning the Cardinals continued to extend the lead until it was 21-7 before a 5 run outburst by the Lakers in the bottom of the 8th made the final of 21-12. Plattsburgh had a season high in runs and hits as every starter had at least 1 hit to contribute to the 24 total hits the team cranked out. Danny Roeser led the way going 5-for-6, including a home run while driving in four runs and scoring three himself. Anthony Presto had four hits and scored four runs. Pat Shaughnessy went 3-for-7 with a home run and four RBIs. Tory Bouyea, Donny Coolidge , Andrew Gooch , Matt Burns, and Kris Cauchon added two hits apiece.

In the 2nd game won by the Cardinals 10-7, Plattsburgh again opened up with a 3 run 1st inning but the Lakers scored 3 in the 2nd and 3 more in the 3rd to grab a 6-3 lead. Plattsburgh narrowed the gap and finally went in front for good with a 3 run 6th inning to make it 8-6. Dan Tracy was the winning pitcher and improved his record to 8-0 which set a Plattsburgh State pitching record for most wins in a season. Pat Shaughnessy had three hits and three RBIs and Andrew Baio also had three hits and drove in 2 runs.

I have no idea why people think so highly of Plattsburgh.
Their schedule is a joke.
Their non-conference schedule had two good teams: Skidmore (rained out or something) and Castleton (who pounded them 18-4).
Here's the combined winning percentage of all the other non-conference teams on their schedule: .437.
It is to laugh.
Lyndon State, twice. Not a doubleheader, two single games. They're 9-21. Is that solid scheduling or about getting cake wins?
I'll bet a HUGE deal gets made this weekend when they get to 30 wins by beating St. Michael's.
The powerhouse 6-24-1 St. Michael's, that is.
I know they tout now making "eight straight postseason appearances." Let's not lose sight of the fact that they're 1-14 in SUNYAC tournament games.
Hey Cards, try scheduling someone good from your region. RPI. Skidmore. Rochester. Are you above them?
Nope, keep playing this selection of crap.
Like Middlebury, 8-13.
And some of these other schools, I don't even know how Plattsburgh found them.
Wilkes, 10-17.
Minnesota-Morris, a doubleheader sweep. They're 6-20.
Millikin University, a doubleheader sweep. They're 9-22.
If they're still in the national rankings this week, then clearly no one is paying any attention.
Go Cards. It's got to be tough to be the eighth-most-significant program at your own school.

Pretty intense post for you first post. I looked at plattsburghs past schedules and it seems that Plattsburgh has played a majority of the teams on this years schedule just about every year. And they had played RPI in years past every year. This is the first year they didnt play them. Probably because they are sick of going to that short right field porch in robinson field and having a 19-13 game. Because looking at the scheduale RPI never went to plattsburgh. As for being the 8th program on the ladder of programs at plattsburgh. I would have to completly disagree and that makes no sense to say. The only sport that gets the hype up there is mens and womens hockey. Other than that all the other sports are virtully the same. and you will see that with alot of colleges where there is a dominant program above the others. Unless you are a sports team powerhouse such as cortland. But even they have their bad teams.

In past several of the teams on Plattsburghs schedule have had much better records than this year. Its not their fault that the opponents they play year in and year out and im sure Coach Doorey has developed a relationship with those coaches and they schedule ahead of time. Thats how the rprocess works. You schedule a year or years in advance. You cant predict how good a team will be.

So honestly your take on plattsburghs weak scheduale is only applicable to this year because their competition is having down years. Either way a win is a win and you cant takeanything away from them because if you have been around college baseball long enough you will realize that any team can beat any team at any given time. Thats just the nature of sports.

Sorry defense wins, but someone had to say it.
Also, I have to take back the "eighth-best program" at Plattsburgh comment, too.
They're actually ninth.

Men's soccer
Men's hockey
Women's hockey
Men's basketball
Softball
Women's soccer
Cross country
Indoor track

You can't look at the NCAA resumes of those programs and put a team that's 1-14 in SUNYAC tournament games ahead of them.

28-8 or whatever they are is nothing to snort at. Well done. Winning isn't easy. But let's keep perspective, especially with all the propaganda we're starting to hear and read about that program.

It is tough for a team like Plattsburgh to find good competition.  Most of their contests are between 3 & 4 hours away.  Their closest contests are with St. Michaels which is a little more than an hour away.  I wonder why they play them?  It's like Cortland playing Itaca every year, it's convenient.  I'm sure Coach Doorey would love to travel 7 hours on a weekday and play teams like U of R, St. John Fisher, or 6 hrs to play Ithaca.  Likewise, I'm sure those teams would love to travel up to Plattsburgh on weekdays.  I know Plattsburgh is sick of going down to RPI without them returning the favor and coming up north to play on a real ball field.

In conference, Plattsburgh has an uphill battle.  They see every teams 1 & 2 guys every weekend.  Plattsburgh's opponent can use their best guys because they don't have to worry about playing 2 more games the next day.  I think they deserve some respect for making the tourney every year.  They have their issues winning those tourney games, but in essence there is only one true winner at the end of it all, and that is the only stat that matters to the coaches and players.

Here's their SUNYAC wins, per year, over the last five years in order: 10, 9, 7, 7, 7.

That's a team stuck in neutral.

They know they're not going to win the conference, so it's about playing the worst schedule in Florida of any team in the free world in order to come back with a helium-filled record.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Kski on April 27, 2010, 01:02:43 PM
Each year is completely different.  Some teams lose more than others.  Some bring in more than others.  I believe at the beginning of the year, Plattsburgh was mentioned as losing the most talent from the previous year.  Before the season started, I was hesitant to even mention them making the tourney this year.  Look where they are now. 

Truth, there really isn't any truth in what you are saying.  There are a lot of assumptions on your part.  For instance, Plattsburgh does not actively seek out the weakest possible schedule.  Sometimes it's best to stick with what we know.  Just because a team doesn't win more conference games does not mean that they are "stuck in neutral."  It could be argued that most other teams in the conference are stuck, as well because they can't catch up with Cortland.  Cortland's dominance does not keep other teams from showing up and trying to take them out.  All of the teams will be ready to go come tourney time.  I hope they give us a good show.

I understand where you are coming from with your entire arguement. --Stop playing weak competition to make your team look better than it really is--. Truth be told KSKI makes a good point. Geographically plattsburgh is screwed. They cant make those long trips during the middle of the week. And SUNYAC games every weekend are hard enough. And if you wanna say plattsburgh is stuck in neutral than you can say that about oneonta, brockport, fredonia, and new paltz, because they are yet to do much different in the past decade other than when brockport won it one year i believe. Your arguement is against plattsburgh, but when it comes down to it, you cant blame a team for doing anything of that nature until they are considered a real threat to dethrone cortland.

Maybe Doorey just wants a good record for recruiting purposes so he can finally try and win some sunyac games.

Post by: airball55 on April 27, 2010, 03:51:03 PM
Although I can side some with Plattsburgh's southern schedule of misfit teams, to have that program as competitive as they have been deserves some credit.  Remember too, Plattsburgh does not have physical education as Cortland and Brockport does.  Also, the recruiting pool from upstate NY isn't as deep as Cortland's (Syracuse, LI, Binghamton, etc.)  Also, they don't get the transfers that a place like Cortland or Brockport can get.  I suppose Coach Doorey could try the Cortland way and get other SUNY school players to transfer to his place!! (That was supposed to be sarcasm).  I agree that they aren't a top 30 program, not even close.... but, they have done a nice job making a respectable and competitive team up there.  They are who they are, a slightly above average D3 program who is not an easy win anymore.

Defensewins is once again correct with saying plattsburgh is pretty much the same as Oneonta and Brockport. Oneonta plays one of the weakest schedules down in Florida and seems that they are 10-1 or 11-0 every year then when they come up north they become a 500 ball club...I feel like these coaches just dont try hard enough to schedule games against different opponents cuz its easy eevry year to call the same teams and say how bout we play that april 19th weekend again and its locked in. What coaches such as Doorey and Ferchen must do is go out and play some Wheatons or RPIs of the world therfore getting recruits mroe interested and also making them a better team by playing tougher opponents.

I think there are plenty of valid points on both sides.

Kyle is right on one point and Stagnant needs to pay attention to.  Stop suggesting they play RPI.  They use to go down there and RPI never came up so they dropped them.  I dont blame the Cardinals.   To gain any out of conference competition they would have to make a long trip during the week with no chance of any of these teams coming up North.

Kyle's second point is the kink in the schedule where Plattsburghs SUNYAC opponents play only Plattsburgh and not another second team that same weekend so Plattsburgh is always facing the other teams best pitchers.  (I dont know why this is, if anyone can explain)


Now for the other side.

I have no idea why people think so highly of Plattsburgh.
Their schedule is a joke.
Their non-conference schedule had two good teams: Skidmore (rained out or something) and Castleton (who pounded them 18-4).
Here's the combined winning percentage of all the other non-conference teams on their schedule: .437.
It is to laugh.
Lyndon State, twice. Not a doubleheader, two single games. They're 9-21. Is that solid scheduling or about getting cake wins?
I'll bet a HUGE deal gets made this weekend when they get to 30 wins by beating St. Michael's.
The powerhouse 6-24-1 St. Michael's, that is.
I know they tout now making "eight straight postseason appearances." Let's not lose sight of the fact that they're 1-14 in SUNYAC tournament games.
Hey Cards, try scheduling someone good from your region. RPI. Skidmore. Rochester. Are you above them?
Nope, keep playing this selection of crap.
Like Middlebury, 8-13.
And some of these other schools, I don't even know how Plattsburgh found them.
Wilkes, 10-17.
Minnesota-Morris, a doubleheader sweep. They're 6-20.
Millikin University, a doubleheader sweep. They're 9-22.
If they're still in the national rankings this week, then clearly no one is paying any attention.
Go Cards. It's got to be tough to be the eighth-most-significant program at your own school.


It is kind of silly to tout the fact you have made eight straight postseasons when you are 1-14 in your conferrence tourney. 




Here is where I am really confused.  I just looked at the SOS article on the front of D# and it says Plattsburgh has the 12th strongest schedule  in the country?  Am I missing something? Reading something wrong?

I think there are plenty of valid points on both sides.

Kyle is right on one point and Stagnant needs to pay attention to.  Stop suggesting they play RPI.  They use to go down there and RPI never came up so they dropped them.  I dont blame the Cardinals.   To gain any out of conference competition they would have to make a long trip during the week with no chance of any of these teams coming up North. 

Quote from: Kski on April 27, 2010, 10:30:03 AM
It is tough for a team like Plattsburgh to find good competition.  Most of their contests are between 3 & 4 hours away.  Their closest contests are with St. Michaels which is a little more than an hour away.   I know Plattsburgh is sick of going down to RPI without them returning the favor and coming up north to play on a real ball field.

You're not missing anything.  SOS is 2 times your opponents' winning percentage plus your opponents' opponents' winning percentage.  It tends to be very regional in nature, for example in the West, SOS tends to hover around 500 because of the distance involved in playing a wide variety of opponents.  Personally, I think SOS is highly overrated as a predictor.

Keeping everything in perspective, I respect everyone's opinion here.  Valid arguments all around.  My "insider" perspective does not allow me to be completely objective when it comes to Plattsburgh.  

I agree that teams like Plattsburgh and Oneonta need to look into tougher spring training schedules.  I know Plattsburgh stepped it up in 2008 playing a tough spring schedule against ranked opponents like Edgewood (splitting a DH) and Rowan (losing in extras).  Plattsburgh ended up at 2-10 after their trip and had a sub .500 record overall at the end of the season, although they did beat Cortland once and made the post-season.  This season may have left a sour taste in Coach Doorey's mouth... but we'll never know.  That's the past, and in order to beat the best, you definitely have to prepare against the best.  New Paltz stepped up big-time this year putting themselves against a strong Salisbury team.  Props to them.  Plattsburgh and Oneonta should consider doing the same in future years.  Brockport usually plays decent competition every year in their trip, and they should keep it up.  

Geographic location plays against Plattsburgh's strength of schedule.  Clarkson, St. Lawrence, RPI, and Skidmore are the closest regional opponents.  The toughest team Plattsburgh got to face was Division I UVM, and they no longer have a baseball program, as of this year.  

Other SUNYAC teams don't have to face another team after playing Plattsburgh because SUNYIT left the conference.  Not like that would have effected anything.  Plattsburgh would still see the 1 & 2 pitchers.  SUNYIT was an automatice W no matter who you put out there.  

Touting 8 post-season appearances in a row is a bit dramatic, but it serves as motivation for the next season.  It lets the newcomers know what is expected.  Plattsburgh is focusing on the positive accomplishments, not the negative (1-14 in tournament play).  I'll compare this to Cortland displaying all of their SUNYAC championship/World Series banners along the outfield fence at Wallace Field (although this is much more impressive to the eye).  It is something to be proud of.  They may not have been the national champion, but it lets everyone know what they are working towards.  Positives, not negatives.  

Lastly, I am shocked to see that Plattsburgh has the 12th strongest schedule in the country.  It sure doesn't seem like they do, but then again I'm not an expert on who the rest of the country is playing.

wow, alot has happened here the past couple days.

As Kski has stated, location plays a big part in who Plattsburgh plays.  It is a long trip for them to go anywhere and nobody wants to go to "the chipper." U of R  is never gonna happen unless its in the regionals.  They are just to far.  Same for utica and a couple other schools mentioned. We played RPI every year at their place and they never came to us.  Would you continue to go there if you were coach doorey? 


And as for being stuck in neutral, so then must everyone else.  They just finished second in the conference.  ... I don't even know what else to say.

You know what, i was gonna type a lot more but  there is no point. Most of what i was gonna say has already been stated.  Plattsburgh is a good, young team.  They have always been competitive in the conference and just need to take that step and win consistently in the playoffs.  What some people are trying to knock them for, i have no idea.

Post by: Big Louie on April 27, 2010, 09:30:53 PM
First and foremost let me say this about Plattsburgh. They are a quality opponent who has consistently won baseball games. They have been improving over the last decade and have always had some decent hitting. The never have the pitching to win when it counts in the conference tourney. You need more than four pitchers in the SUNYAC tourney. Let's talk about their schedule. Plattsburgh has no control over who they play in the NY region as Kski mentions they have to play the teams that are close to them geographically just like everyone else in the region has to during the midweek games. I will say this they play no one on their spring trips. If they want to gain some credibility stop going to Myrtle Beach to play no one and schedule games in the Florida that matter. That right their is 15 games of playing no one.

I don't buy the facing everyones top guys argument. Yes they usually have to play 4 conference games in a weekend but so does other team. New Paltz, Brockport, Fredonia, Cortland have all played 4 games in the same weekend. Plattsburgh just happens to be partnered with New Paltz so everyone saves there top guys for Plattsburgh and throw whoever against New Paltz.

Cortland should be playing D1 teams. I would love to see them play D2 Franklin Pierce or SUNY Albany. There in the wrong league but I will say I think there coach plays with class. I have never seen him bury a conferance team in a game and purposely run up the score.
Platsburgh is over rated and not as good as they think.

Plattsburgh's coach is on the NCAA committee, so they're in the tournament even if they go 2 and out in SUNYACs. Which, by the way, would leave them 7-7 in conference, 13-8 in the NY region. Certainly worthy of an at-large.

Pffffft.

It's a shame the Lyndon game got snowed out. I can't imagine what those quotes would read like when the Cards got to 30 wins this weekend. I hear they may push the fences at Chip Campbell back to like 460, 505 and 490 to make room for all the banners they'll hang to commemorate this season.

Plattsburgh certainly doesn't have a strong case for an at-large bid.   

Truthfinder, please explain to me how Plattsburgh's coach being on the NCAA committee has anything to do with them making the SUNYAC tournament.  I wasn't aware that the SUNYAC tournament was a popularity contest based on who is on which committee.  As far as I know, the players won the games that put them there.  It sounds like you're grasping at whatever you see in order to take shots at Plattsburgh.     

The odds are stacked in Cortland's favor.  They are a very good hitting team, and their pitching isn't too shabby.  They would definitely give some DI teams in the area a good run.  All the other teams are going to have to bring their sticks with them.  In order to beat Cortland, they will have to match them blow-for-blow.  Filak can shut Cortland down, but he can only throw for so long, and he might not even be matched against Cortland.

Is "in-region run differential" some sort of tie breaker this year??  Dragons take a safety right before halftime?  That is rough.  I know that Cortland doesn't typically run it up on people that bad.  At some point, you gotta get somebody out and get your tails back in the dugout if you're the Continentals.

You can't possibly be serious. Considering the SUNYACs don't award at-large berths ... sigh.

Their coach on the NCAA committee makes them damn close to a lock for the NCAA tournament.

And I've taken no shots. There's been nothing personal here. Merely pointing facts out to the flock who seem to think the Cards will not only win the NY Region but quite possibly contend for the AL wild-card.

I dont know who said plattsburgh will contend for an at large. They should consider themselves lucky to crack the top 6. And they should be no higher than 5th or 6th.
1 cortland
2 UR
3 skidmore- loss to middlebury i think took them out of the 2 spot yesterday, thats a BAD loss for a ballclub that just took 3-4 from UR
4 st john fisher
5 Oneonta state
6 plattsburgh


Unless oneonta state gets to the championship and knocks of cortland at some point I think the at large bid comes out of the LL. Theyre just stronger than the SUNYAC this year top to bottom

I think the only way SUNYAC's get 2 teams in is if Cortland doesn't take the league tourney. Both Plattsburgh and Oneonta do not test themselves out of the league. Even their Florda schedules were extremely weak.

They both have great records, but that shouldn't be enough for a Pool C berth.

Just my thoughts....

Plattsburgh is a decent team at best.  I will give them credit, they are winning games, but honestly I don't have a clue how.  They boasted their 18th in the country ranking and then got walloped by New Paltz 14-11 in their first conference game.  New Paltz 'supposedly' is not good at all.  They're better than previous years, no doubt, but to give up 14 runs to them is a little ridiculous, especially if you're ranked 18th in the COUNTRY!.  Granted Plattsburgh can swing the bat as well as anyone, but you can't always out-hit your middle school 'esque' pitching.  Good luck playing against good teams in the play-offs, because you'll need it.

If New Paltz sweeps fredonia this weekend, Sunday's game between NP and Brockport becomes 'win and in'.  Other than that, let's get ready for the playoffs

"We play a horrible schedule and know we won't win another game this season, but I'm on the selection committee so we're in the NCAA tournament anyway even after we get slammed twice at SUNYACs for the seventh time in my eight years here, dropping my record to 1-16 in tournament games, but hey, we won 30 games so I get to build a statue of myself out of my own excrement which I've had fermented and turned into infield clay."

They remind me a lot of the Adrian hockey team a couple years ago, go like 28-1 and not get into the tourney because they just didn't beat anyone good.

Any chance we could stack-up Cortland's 30 vs. Plattsburgh's 30.  Before you call me out, I'm just asking?  By the way, the crap about nobody playing wanting to play Plattsburgh is idiotic. Their other sports all deal with it. The hockey team travels all over to play, not a problem for them. (the don't go to Adrien, Truth Boy).   The soccer team goes to the NCAAs all the time and they don't have any problem finding games.   The biggest question, though is why didn't they play Skidmore?  It looks like the Thoroughbreds are playing Oneonta instead in a recently added game.  That should have been the Cardinals.

Yes, it is interesting that Plattsburgh-Skidmore didn't get rescheduled.

The Cardinals added a second game against six-win St. Michael's.
Skidmore scheduled 26-win Oneonta.

Hmm.
Hmm.

And the skidmore coach must have  realized that Oneonta was going to use filak for the  conference games saturday so Skidmore won't see him, while he would have seen plattsburgh's - gasp!-  best pitchers!

I would imagine that Skidmore and Plattsburgh just couldnt find a reschedule date or some sorts so Skidmore figured they are probably the front runner for the at large saying they get beat in the LL title game or something, so plourde being smarter than doorey in this sense scheduled another tough in region opponent to boost their likeliness to get the at large.......Honestly if I were anyone in the SUNYACs besides cortland i wouldnt want to play UR Skidmore Clarkson because I believe this year that the LL is much much deeper than the SUNYAC......Almost tourny time though..........what are the first round matchups for the SUNYAC? Oneonta go Filak game one or save him for a potential game against cortland? Unless they face them first round......I really dont think anyone cant take cortland off their throne......Input?

Did you get cut from the Plattsburgh team or something truthfinder? Because all you've really done on this board was take shots at the Cardinals. But that's right, you just call it "exposing the truth." You sound like one of those 16 year old girls that didn't get a bmw on her sweet sixteen from mtv. As for the comment about all of Plattsburgh's other sports teams, they have been around for awhile and have built themselves up overtime. Plattsburgh restarted the program in 2002 and are still building the program up. They gain a little national recognition and you feel the need to bash them? Also, I believe the coaches in the conference named Doorey Coach of the Year twice, not anything to do with a national board, as your comments about the Cardinals getting an automatic at-large bid just because he's on the ncaa board are ridiculous. You're not only bashing Doorey, but you're bashing the Cardinals, who have put in the time over the off-season to get where they're at. The players have no control over who they play and they don't deserve being bashed over beating teams they should beat. Why don't you write to the national rankings board or the board for ranking teams in the region, in which Plattsburgh is ranked 3rd, if you have a problem with the rankings? This board is about talking about competition in the sunyac, while still keeping the integrity of the game intact. And this board has been doing a good job of that until you signed up and felt the need to bash the Card's with all your undercover work "exposing the truth." So if you don't have any other insightful comments to make about other teams in the conference or any other positive comments to make, then I don't think this board is right for you, because I think everyone can do without your negativity.

So to hear you tell it, Manbearpig, being a conference coach of the year means you should get into the NCAAs?

Plattsburgh has had many, many very good players, most of them from some great programs in Section 2 and Section 7. I take nothing away from them. I applaud them.

My issue is the fraudulent way they were touted as a national elite team this year, playing that schedule.

And if we want to tackle "the integrity of the game," please defend why they scheduled who they did.

Integrity?

Your point is taken. So I'll be more positive: I'm POSITIVE they'll be in the NCAAs even after going 0-2 or, at best, 1-2 this weekend.

Strictly a guess here, but I'd think that Plattsburgh will finish as the No. 2 seed (based on better record in three-team mini-conference among those tied at 7-5), with Brockport third and Oneonta fourth.

I haven't seen pairings, but that's my guess.

I think Brockport is primed for a big weekend. They've got to wake up sometime.

While we are on the subject of integrity.I would like to make note that both Fredonia & New Paltz played with plenty of it this weekend. Fredonia played New Paltz to a split which killed whatever shot New Paltz had.Both team went to their Sunday games with nothing to play for and Fredonia beat Onenota in the suspended game and New paltz held a 7-1 lead late against Brockport.The outcome of those two games have a impact on the seedings in the tournament this weekend.They could have "mailed ' those games in and been done but they did the right thing and played hard.hats off to both clubs for playing hard.This juggling might not have much impact but only time will tell

Fact: St. Micheal's is closer to Plattsburgh than Skidmore.

Besides, Plattsburgh and St. Mike's play each other every year.

Jeez, you guys need more to do.

Post by: Truthfinder on May 03, 2010, 07:46:06 AM
John, the distance is irrelevant here. You should know better. Plattsburgh was supposed to go to Skidmore. Instead the Cards made St Mikes a doubleheader at home.

Whatever. This argument is as boring to me as the 10-minute flip-cammed coaches show on the Plattsburgh website. "Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Well my office is right next door. And it's our secret that you're not wearing pants."

I don not think that Plattsburgh is an NCAA team.  I agree with the schedule.......weak!!!!  There are a lot of teams with "Good Seasons" that get left out and unless the Cards can make it to the championship game of the SUNYACS, they are out....but Doorey is on the committee so....he will push his DH with St, Mikes in with his team....WEAK!!! 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 03, 2010, 10:33:50 AM
Usually the way these things work is that if you are on the committee and your team comes up, you leave the room or the teleconference.

Also, I feel bad for the real Plattsburgh fans like Kyle (ex-players in this case) and magicman that have come in here to legitimately talk about their team and are responded to by complete and utter nonsense from some area clowns that are only popping up to complain and throw around garbage.

I agree this PLattsburgh discussion is getting old...so they play a weak schedule, lets get over it and move on. If they have a good showing this weekend, then they deserve the bid, if they go 0-2 or 1-2 then they wont get a bid. I think the Doorey conspiracy theories need to come to a halt...What is Platts had lost all these "cupcake" games what would the story be then? This really is a double-edged sword for Plattsburgh...

My predictions for the weekend

Game 1-Platts beats Brockport in a close one
Game 2-Cortland beats Filak in another close one, I just think its gonna be to hard for him to beat Cortland twice

Game 3-Brockport over Oneonta
Game 4-Cortland over Plattsburgh in a laugher
Game 5-Brockport over PLattsburgh in a close one with both teams not having many arms left

Game 6-Cortland spanks Brockport..Cortland will have a rested staff, while Brockport will be throwing

I had to take a good 20 minutes to laugh this off... I dig the Chappelle's Show reference.  I am willing to bet that we see some more hate from Silky, especially if Plattsburgh goes 0-2, or even 1-2.  It's just going to be a whole bunch of "I told you so" stuff, coupled with "they are garbage" and "Plattsburgh should have listened to me (Silky) and scheduled tougher teams."  And hold on to your socks if they get an unexpected at-large bid into the regionals.  The focus will be on conspiracy not strategy, or success. 

I do see the Plattsburgh-Brockport game being very close.  I think Plattsburgh's bats will wake up, and Brockport will not kill themselves with errors this time around.  These are the adjustments that both teams need to make.  Plattsburgh will have to hold on to the lead if they get one, which they couldn't do in their first contest against Brockport.   

Cortland-Oneonta will be the game to watch.  Dominant pitching vs. outstanding hitting.  This one will depend on how long Filak can stay dominant for.  I believe he will be the one on the mound, as he should be.  It would be the best chance they have to get in the winners bracket.  Cortland's pitchers will have to keep Oneonta at bay, and I have full confidence that they can.

1-  Plattsburgh over Brockport
2-  Cortland over Oneonta

3-  Brockport over Oneonta
4-  Cortland over Plattsburgh
5-  Brockport over Plattsburgh... Plattsburgh doesn't respond well to a beating

6-  Cortland over Brockport

I hate making predictions, but this is my best guess.  1-5 doesn't matter much because I'm confident that Cortland will, once again, take the crown.  They have too much offensive and pitching depth.  After all, I don't live in a fantasy world where Plattsburgh will breeze through the opposition.  Let's just see some good baseball!

Question:  Will Cortland be broadcasting all the games on internet-radio?

Yes, Cortland Internet Radio is planning on broadcasting ALL games (not just Cortland's) from the SUNYAC Baseball Tournament (in addition to all the SUNYAC softball, men's lax and women's lax tournament action at Cortland this week). We will also try to provide live stats for some of the games, if not all - depends on staffing issues.

Hopefully by Wednesday I will have a SUNYAC Baseball tournament web page set up that will include links to audio and live stats coverage, plus scores and box scores during the tournament.

Everyone, let's be friends, OK?
Just having fun. C'mon.

Here's my first act of friendship on our new path together, a little joke to make everyone laugh. Actually, a true story. Happened this weekend.

Man walks into a bar in Plattsburgh.
Asks the bartender "Hey, why are you wearing that Plattsburgh baseball jersey?"
The bartender turns around and shows him the jersey number, 15.
Bartender then says, "It's a tribute to our coach."
Man thinks for a minute and doesn't get it. "How is that a tribute to your coach?"
Bartender says, "Because in games that matter, he's 1 and 14."

Silky Johnson, I said that Doorey was selected as Coach of the Year to highlight that he was recognized by his peers as a good coach playing with the talent that he has. Your issue seems to be more with the national and regional rankings committee's. It also seems pretty suspect that you registered for this board about 2 weeks before the SUNYAC tourney. Making comments about players (namely calling out Dan Tracy and saying he was gonna lose, as well as the Doorey statue comment) and coaches is what I'm talking about with integrity of the game. Plattsburgh has been playing these teams for years, where were you? Now that they finally beat most of the teams they should beat and get a little national recognition, you call them out? The preseason trips to myrtle and florida have more to do with what teams register to play in those tourney's and the tourney's organizers set them up with who they have, teams don't necessary get to "select" what teams they play. Also, most teams don't care to travel up to Plattsburgh for non-conference games, let alone conference games. The rest of the teams like Cortland and Oneonta are in the middle of the state with shorter travel distances and better teams are more apt to play them based on that factor alone. I'm not saying that you have to like the Card's, but to come on here and take cheap shots and say they don't have to win SUNYAC's because they'll be in the national tourney anyway because Doorey is on the ncaa committee is just plain ridiculous. That being said, I hope the tourney this weekend is exciting and that all the teams involved play hard and give the fans a good show. Good Luck Cards!

Haha, thanks for making me feel younger.  Those "few" will be to calm my nerves because I would rather be on that field playing.  I'm sure a lot of others can relate, but at the same time it's nice to look at the conference tourney with a broader perspective.  As a player it's battling nagging injuries and fatigue after a relatively quick, yet extensive season.  Now it's just all-out anticipation to see how everything turns out when the dust is settled.

First of all, I don't know who Silky Johnson is, but I'm going to Google it right now and likely become a big fan of his work.

Now, to reply to "Manbearpig," which has to be a reference to dating options at Plattsburgh...

1. I didn't their kid out. I said I think he's due for a loss. I also think LeBron's due for a ring. Am I calling Kobe out?
2. I'm amazed you can speak so eloquently and accurately about how other teams think when it comes to nonconference scheduling.
3. As far as the Pool C berth, yeah, we'll see. A team that goes 7-7 or 8-7 in its conference, depending on whether they go 0-2 or 1-2 this weekend, does not deserve an NCAA berth. Period. And they will get in nonetheless, which means the fact that he's on the committee cannot be overlooked.
4. Did you like the joke? 'Cause I got more.
5. The statue comment was damn funny.

So how does everyone think New Paltz did this season?  I was able to see their game against Cortland, Oswego and Plattsburgh and I must say that they have improved A LOT.  They have 3 great freshman pitchers and some other talented freshman hitters.  Chismar will easily be the ace of that staff for the coming years with the other 2 having conference roles also.  What is everyone else's opinion on NP?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Hot Rod Runnin on May 04, 2010, 09:37:11 AM
Agreed on that...New Paltz just needs to play much more solid defense behind those three young guys. They will take there lumps early, but by Junior and Senior year, look for NP to be challenging for the conference title. Coach Griffiths needs to build aorund those three and not let them waste away with no talent around them.

I think the team i would most like to see get the at large is either Oneonta mainly because filak can beat anyone or Skidmore because i just looked at their stats and their staff is UNREAL......4 deep with good bullpen although it seems they rarely need to use it.

"Chapelle's show premiered on January 22, 2003 on the American cable television network Comedy Central. The show ran for two complete seasons and a third, truncated season (dubbed "The Lost Episodes").  After numerous delays, production of the third season of the show was abruptly ended when Chappelle left the show. Three episodes were compiled from the completed work and these episodes aired from July 9 to July 23, 2006."

I'd say 4 years ago is a lot different than a decade...

Also, still a fantastic show, so the fact that it went off the air 4 years ago should have nothing to do with 1. its messages 2. its hilariousness or 3. Silky Johnson's resemblance to yourself Truthfinder.

here is my question.  What does that have to do with the current Plattsburgh baseball team?

Most of the players on the current team are young and HAVE won a playoff game and HAVE won 30 games in a season.  Thats more than i ever did in a season and sure more than you.  It is still a young team that will only get better. 

Oh and silky, i don't believe in "due's."  I believe in making good pitches and bad pitches and thats about it.

hello all, i am new to this site as a member. i have read some post here and there since the site was created but never wanted to get in on the action. but with all this talk about plattsburg and the tournament right around the corner i had to get in. first off let me say that the whole plattsburg talk has been drawn out for far too long and really needs to stop to keep this site legit. never thought i would see a chapelle show reference on a baseball website. both sides make good arguments for and against plattsburg. if plattsburg goes 2 and out which they probably will and they still get into ncaas oh well. good for them. the committee wont let it happen though so dont worry truth. in my opinion plattsburg like oneonta and brockport have to win the tournament to get in ncaa's.

now lets talk real tournament stuff. cortland is the favorite obviously. oneonta has filak, brockport has a decent lineup, and plattsburg has 2 pitchers that they will use the entire tournament like they do every year. oneonta needs to have someone else other than filak to pitch a good game this weekend. brockport needs to catch alot of breaks, and plattsburg needs each team to come down with a serious illness that they cant play because they have no shot. and cortland will have to have just an awful weekend to not win this thing. they might lose to filak but they have enough depth to make it out of the losers bracket. my predicitons:

oneonta wins vs cortland
brockport wins vs platts

oneonta wins vs brockport
cortland wins vs platts
cortland wins vs brockport

cortland wins both on sunday, cortland champs. just another year for a close call but no one can get it done vs cortland.

Very legitimate point.  I don't know how it could be that way either.  Plattsburgh's biggest tests have been in-conference.  I don't know anything about the SOS formula, but it's hard to argue with numbers... they don't usually lie.  Knowing Plattsburgh's schedule definitely makes it hard for me to believe that they have faced a touch schedule, as the numbers suggest.

Very legitimate point.  I don't know how it could be that way either.  Plattsburgh's biggest tests have been in-conference.  I don't know anything about the SOS formula, but it's hard to argue with numbers... they don't usually lie.  Knowing Plattsburgh's schedule definitely makes it hard for me to believe that they have faced a touch schedule, as the numbers suggest.

Please don't use the DIII baseball SOS. It's way off.  The NCAA committee has the real numbers. In some sports (see soccer, basketball) they actually publish the SOS for all region teams.    The NCAA Regional Rankings are the real deal.  They take into consideration everything involved in deciding SOS.  Same for  national rankings you see on this site. It's all based on reputation. Please, when trying to see NCAA committe rankings, they are the ones paying attention and taking the time to sort everything out.

If only this were true. The so-called "real numbers" nearly always contain errors. If it weren't for sites like this, the NCAA would continue to use flawed data. The routine NCAA errors have been well documented on these boards.

Just one example: I track the Midwest and Central in-region baseball records. The first published Regional Rankings contained errors for three of the six ranked Central teams, including the No. 1 team, Buena Vista. Because that error was caught, BVU now has two fewer in-region losses – like it should be, correct and fair. There are dozens more examples I could give you from this year, in just those two regions.

Mostly because the NCAA does not include results from Tuesdays in the rankings (like it says it does), this week's Regional Ranking data in the MW and C had 15 more errors ... again, that's only TWO region's worth of data. There are several other in-region record errors in the MW and C that were not simply "Tuesday ommissions." And if an in-region record for even one team is not correct in a given region, that means the rest of the data (OWP, OOWP, SOS) is compromised.

Just because the NCAA has the "official" stamp on its data, that doesn't mean it's correct. The 15 in-region record errors this week are far fewer than the first week. Please tell us all again why the NCAA doesn't need gatekeepers.

EDIT: Feel free to compare my numbers to those of the NCAA and tell me who's wrong. I admit I could be wrong, but I have enough confidence to show my numbers in order for someone to prove I'm wrong.

From today's newspaper up there ... Draw your own conclusions. My take: It's not accidental that he doesn't say going 0-2 will keep them out of the NCAAs. Instead, he just continues to lay the foundation for that Pool C -- and shouldn't this story say he's on the selection committee?

Good luck to all the teams today. Especially Brockport.

Plattsburgh State, which is currently ranked second in the New York Region behind Cortland, could still get into the national event without finishing first this weekend.

"We need to have a good showing — that would help us get an at-large berth," said Plattsburgh State head coach Kris Doorey. "But, going 0-2 isn't going to help us.

I think if Plattsburgh gets in you will start to see a trend in spring trip scheduling.  I would hope that the NCAA would reward teams that challenge themselves some instead of the trip Plattsburgh or even Oneonta took.  If they don't then personally I would load up on all of the penn-state teams, medaille's, Scranton's, Keuka's etc.... 

I love the fact that Ithaca goes out west and challenges themselves, however, this may not be the route to take anymore.  Same goes for Brockport.

I hope the Tracy kid didn't get hurt on the comebacker that shot off his leg into right (per gametracker). And if he was hurt, it's inexcusable to leave him out there for three more batters.

This has the looks of a 17-12 game.

It looks like the paper tried to reach someone at the school for comment and was hoping someone would get back to them - preferably like a school spokesperson. Unfortunately no one did so they went with the story.

Interesting thing aside from the obvious is that the arraignment is scheduled for May 19 which in theory could be a day that the Red Dragons are supposed to be in Auburn for the NCAA tournament. They'll need to get through Brockport and most likely Cortland twice more to reach the postseason though.

Cortland does not lose in the first round every year. In fact, they havent lost in the first round in a long time. Since 1998, the only team to beat them at all in the SUNYAC tournament was Brockport (Until Oneonta beat them today).

Yes, Cortland Internet Radio is planning on broadcasting ALL games (not just Cortland's) from the SUNYAC Baseball Tournament (in addition to all the SUNYAC softball, men's lax and women's lax tournament action at Cortland this week). We will also try to provide live stats for some of the games, if not all - depends on staffing issues.

Hopefully by Wednesday I will have a SUNYAC Baseball tournament web page set up that will include links to audio and live stats coverage, plus scores and box scores during the tournament.

Listened to the baseball broadcast today while watching the live stats on the women's softball games, all while I was "working" in my office.  Great job putting that all together to allow those of us who are unable to make the trip to Cortland, to get the feeling that we are. Thank you, and plus k.

I think the point is that you said it hasn't happened in a long time and it certainly has happened less than a long time ago.  Cstate said it "SEEMED" like every year... Presumably because he was there the two years they lost.  In the end, I think your statement was a little more absolute than his.  

In reality, neither statement is true.  Cortland does not lose every year, and it hasn't been a long time since Cortland lost in the first game.

What the hell is with the angst towards Pburgh?  They've only had a team for a few years.  Usually you have to have more success than this to get people to hate you so much.  Truthfinder (ERRRRRRR Sunyac Alum) would like to have us beleive that he's "just exposing the truth", but you've got to have an ax to grind to be that pissed off at a team that hasn't really won anything.  And aside from you, I don't see too many people up here talking about them all the time.  If there were numerous posters here telling everyone how great PS was (see UR--LL board), I could see the angst, but seriously, what gives?

7-7 against conference competition this year.
Starting pitchers with an ERA of about 30 -- yes, 30 -- in this year's postseason.
Maybe someday they'll figure it out, playing the weakest nonconference teams you can find doesn't fool anyone.

Word out of Cortland today is that Plattsburgh is looking to play two more non-conference games to enhance their Pool C hopes. They played 38 games before SUNYACs and the allowable number is 40.

I applaud their boldness. It's not right, but bold.

Which brings up a serious question: Is that fair? Or ethical? Or does it all depend on who they schedule?

A lot of teams do this. That's why there used to be an ECAC tournament - St. John Fisher played itself into a bid by winning the 07 tournament I believe. As long as they're not going over the 40-game limit, I have no issue with this. Why not play games and try to improve your tournament chances?

That said, I don't think Plattsburgh is tournament worthy after allowing 27 runs in two conference tournament games. Maybe they'd have had a better fate if Cortland had defeated Oneonta yesterday but I doubt it.

"The Cardinals (No. 26 ABCA, "RV" D3baseball.com) fall to 30-10 overall, and still hopeful of an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament with one of the nation's toughest schedules as its calling card."

I have no problem with that lead. What's the SID supposed to write in that situation? He's not going to say that the team has no chance of making it to the tournament after putting in a two-and-barbecue performance in Cortland. He's promoting the team in his best manner because right now, Plattsburgh is still ranked second in the region (that will change come next Thursday I think) and that's his job.

While we know the SOS numbers are extremely sketchy, it still ranked Plattsburgh 12th in the country at some point. If I'm the Plattsburgh SID, I would tout that fact greatly. Or if the team is ranked or receiving votes in a poll, I would do the same thing. Why? Because it promotes the team in a positive light and is something that the school isn't really used to with baseball.

If we were talking about hockey for example, an at-large bid with a strong SOS would be a given since Bob Emery's teams always play a very difficult non-conference schedule. It doesn't hurt that P'Burgh is traditionally among the best teams in the country either.

Looking at the final analysis, the team put together a great record and this will be a season I don't think will be forgotten by the players. That said, the schedule is what hurts their chances at the tournament. You're right in that there really aren't any quality wins. The only ones I see are against Old Westbury and Oneonta. That frankly just isn't enough when you're competing on a national playing field against say a team from the LEC like Eastern Connecticut/Keene State or the OAC like Heidelberg or Marietta. In the case of some Florida tournaments, your often handcuffed in who you play by what tournaments you sign up for and when you go down to Florida/Arizona. Oneonta is the best comparison for this Plattsburgh club as SUCO traditionally plays a pastry-filled schedule in Florida and often returns with a great record. And, not one of those teams - either ones that featured great talents with Schellinger and Salamida - made it to the NCAA tournament as an at large.

Brockport headed to the championship after a 10-6 win over Oneonta. Oneonta tied it up in the top of the 9th at 6-6. Jake Coleman induced a 1-2-3 double play and the Eagles were out of it. Max Keado singles for Brockport, steals second, moves to 3rd on a Mike Weakley bunt (who was safe at first). Oneonta intentionally walked Max Zimmerman and Nate Parrino hit a walk off Grand Slam.

My take is Cortland spanks Oneonta tomorrow and then beats Brockport in a tight ball game in gm 2. Monday brings another one thats too close to call.
It comes down to depth unless Brockport can close it out tomorrow. I think Oneonta has no chance vs C-state tomorrow.
The real question is, if Cortland loses, do they get an very elusive Pool C bid?????
Not many out there, I think only 4!!!!!
Lets win 3 boys!!!

Again, it comes down to the same two, Brockport and Cortland.  I know I may be bold stating this considering O-state still can knock out C-state, but the two teams who have challenged themselves the most out of conference Cortland and Brockport are in the mix again.  If they don't finish the double elim. I believe that it becomes a single elim. tournament and obviously Brockport would get the nod.... see Liberty League 2007.  I love all of the Plattsburgh banter, they had a nice season and getting the number of wins they have is truly an accomplishment especially considering their geography.  I too don't believe their resume has enough to get them in.  I would take Oneonta over them right now actually with two wins over Cortland. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: cstate19 on May 08, 2010, 08:51:14 PM
I got Cortland winning it.  Still, what a break for O-State.  First, they get a day to recoup (dont think they will, but still) after a walk off.  Cortland are like sharks in the water, if they smell blood its over and O-State would have been deflated big time. 

I really think that the dynamic this year was weird.  I thought Cortland was far and away the best team, but when you combine the fact that Filak was going to beat them it was going to set up a Game 4 between two weak teams (Plattsburgh or Brockport versus Oneonta (Yes Oneonta is weak in the national field when Filak isnt throwing)) which would allow one of those weaker teams to walk into the final.

I got Cortland winning it.  Still, what a break for O-State.  First, they get a day to recoup (dont think they will, but still) after a walk off.  Cortland are like sharks in the water, if they smell blood its over and O-State would have been deflated big time.  

I really think that the dynamic this year was weird.  I thought Cortland was far and away the best team, but when you combine the fact that Filak was going to beat them it was going to set up a Game 4 between two weak teams (Plattsburgh or Brockport versus Oneonta (Yes Oneonta is weak in the national field when Filak isnt throwing)) which would allow one of those weaker teams to walk into the final.


Agreed in that Cortland is more than likely still the favorite. Hopefully the weather helps out. It was snowing here earlier.

if cortland somehow gets beat (i think theyll run the table to win it) then all of our pool C questions and discussion will have been answered. They would get a pool C bid.

39-41 degrees, 24-29 degrees real feel ,20 mph winds, 3/4 of an inch or rain, aluminum bats, hopefully some common sense will prevail. We don't need Div. 3 athletes getting hurt in these conditions.

I've seen April doubleheaders played in worse conditions. It's supposed to stop snowing around 1pm. Most of the kids are from upstate New York and have played in the cold before. Cortland played a game down south a few years ago in the snow and Jimmy Dougher and Justin Mattes combined to throw a no-hitter.

Doorey strikes again. Tells his team they're in if Cortland wins, and quoted in paper today talking about NCAA tourney chances, with no mention of fact he's on committee. Give it up Coach. You went .500 in the SUNYAC. He's making a sham of this process.

"It's completely out of our hands now," said Plattsburgh State head coach Kris Doorey. "We're on the outside looking in as far as the NCAA Tournament is concerned. We have to hope Cortland wins the SUNYAC Tournament and get some help.

"We won't find out until next Sunday. We're disappointed with this weekend and it's difficult to explain."

Nothing wrong with those. It's not up to him to tell the paper that he's on the selection committee. After all, we've been through this plenty of times in the last few weeks. It doesn't matter if you're on the committee, you have zero say on if your team gets in. It doesn't hurt but he won't be involved in the decision-making process about if Plattsburgh gets a Pool C.

Yeah, but how do we know he'll adhere -- or has adhered -- to that rule?

Further, if Rochester loses the LL, does anyone think Kris Doorey will have one good thing to say about them on that call?

Not. A. Chance.

Bottom line is this: He can manipulate the entire process, whether he's part of the discussion on whether his .500 team in the SUNYAC deserves a Pool C bid or not.

7-7 in SUNYAC play. Yeah, that merits a shot at a national championship.

Dont think Pool B will be affected too much but killed Plattsburgh chances and if Rochester doesn't win the LL tourney.   Cortland is a lock...of course but what might be interesting is if Brockport and even a Rochester could be shiped out to Marrietta Regional becuase of the distance thing.  

Any Clairification on this?

PLattsburgh is done and I also saw where he was trying to find games.....not likely.  Most schools are done and if they are not, most have the 40.

Kudos to Brockport....would have been nice to see Brockport -Cortland game.

Unfortunate about the weather.  Somebody remind me why we live in NYS.  It was 80 degrees like 3 days ago and they just cancelled a tournament due to snow. 

I don't know if I have a better solution, but it seems pretty weak to win a league championship that way.  I'm even ok with giving them the auto bid, but it just doesn't seem right to call them the SUNYAC Champ without having to close the deal.  Whattya gonna do.  Not that big a deal.  That being said, I would like to see BPort make some noise in regionals and would love to see some upsets in the LL tournament now that it's all but certain that no at large bid will come out of there.  This should make for a very interesting LL tournament. 

Truthfinder....Congrats.  All but certain that your nemesis Plattsburgh will be shut out of the tourney.  This should allow you some extra time to prepare your posts for next year and come up with some additional aliases. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Truthfinder on May 09, 2010, 03:12:19 PM
They're not shut out of the tourney, pudge. They did not belong. Period.

Now the question is, will the Plattsburgh coach actually support Cortland on the selection call.

This whole thing stinks. Plattsburgh fans will never acknowledge that they weren't good enough to get in. They'll just say they got hosed by the weather and that it took away their guaranteed Pool C bid.

And I have as many aliases as Plattsburgh has SUNYAC tournament wins. One. (Though I didn't need 17 tries for that win.)

Why is the SUNYAC tournament over just like that because of weather?  Brockport and Cortland have until next Sunday to play these games.  This isn't like the Liberty League where the tournament ends on the Sunday before the field is announced and would have to shorten the tournament due to weather because they couldn't extend it a day.  This does not make any sense to me that the SUNYAC would end the tournament like this when they have a full week to reschedule the 1 or 2 games needed to complete the tournament.  Is this just a ploy to gain exposure by (almost assuredly) having 2 teams in the regionals?  Reschedule the games, there is plenty of time.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pg04 on May 09, 2010, 05:06:17 PM
According to Cortland's Website:

"The tournament has officially been declared completed. Brockport, as the lone 2-0 team in the tournament, is the champion per SUNYAC bylaws and receives an automatic berth into the NCAA Div. III tournament.

It was agreed upon that no team would play three games in one day on Monday, and the league rules stipulate that the tournament must be concluded by Monday. Therefore, the tournament has ended."

It's just basically because of the rule that is made and I guess they aren't going to break them.

pg hit it on the head............the reason the tourny ended the way it did is because of the SUNYAC bylaws.....But what are ya gonna do? teams will learn that losing early can hurt you in the tourny......not that cortland could do anything against filak, but just saying, the thought of coming out of the loser bracket should be the last thought...........Cortland gets pool C bid in my opinion, no question they deserve the be in the tourny and due to their record, national recognition, program history, coach, and schedule they will get in......No one else from the area though, if cortland won the tournament ny would not have gotten a poll C bid IMO.......too bad more baseball couldnt be played

If imOneonta I got a major problem with this...I wouldnt' have been suprised if Ferchen was out on Wallace Field with a bunch of space heaters, trying to convince someone that they could play.

I know that Cortland is hosting this regional, but is there any chance that if they grab that Pool C, they get shipped elsewhere? I would figure Brockport would stay in region because they won the AQ..

This happened in the Liberty League in...some point over the last 8-9yrs I want to say. That said, the Liberty plays its' tournament right before the NCAA bids are handed out. Anyways, a few games were played and most of the tournament was rained out. So, the tournament basically became single elimination and the winner of the winners' bracket game got the bid. Another year, the title round couldn't be completed because of weather and Clarkson got the shaft because the tournament reverted back to the team with the best record after the winners' bracket and this was RPI.

These things happen. I would imagine Cortland will very much want to see Brockport in Auburn. The team that loses out the most is Oneonta. They could have played their way in but because of a poor out of conference schedule, they're most likely not getting into the regionals. Plattsburgh, well, the Cards were SOL once they lost their second game of the weekend.

Congrats to Brockport for doing what they had to do, winning their first two games.  And I guess they should be thankful for Fredonia beating New Paltz and then coming back the next day and beating Oneonta.  And why do you all feel bad for Oneonta?  All they have is Filak.  Granted Bates is a good pitcher but he can't go all 9.  And Plattsburgh...what a joke?  Dan Tracy?  Please, he was awful.  How that kid is 9-0 just doesn't make sense. 

Good luck to Cortland and Brockport in regionals!

Congrats Brockport. Weather in the Great state of NY can make it tough sometimes. Too bad they couldn't finish it on the field. It would have been something to see if Cortland or Oneonta could have come back and taken it after losing one.

I think Cortland should get a pool C with no problem. With that said it makes it more important for Rochester to win the LL to get in now that Cortland is taking a pool C.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Hot Rod Runnin on May 10, 2010, 10:44:51 AM
I just dont seem to think  this situation is very fair...not for Cortland or for the SUNYACs, but for other teams around the country. You can all but assure yourselves that Cortland is getting  a Pool C bid, eliminating one. With selections not being made until next Sunday, that gives us one week to play 3 games. Efforts are being made thorughout the country to get games played and I think a better effort should have been made here.

Also on the final exam issue for Brockport, was Monday not already the raindate if games oculd not be played on the weekend? I understand we are dealing with STUDENt-athletes, but if a team is unable to make the commitment to the tournament (i.e. oblige with the policy and procedures and bylaws, in this case rain date on monday) then they should not be entered in. Basically what you are doing is forcing those who make the decisions, in this case I believe it was Cortland AD Joan Sitterly, to call off the tournament. I think it would have been interesting to been in on the meetings with all this if Cortland was sitting at 2-0, how importand would final exams be then?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: AlleyCat on May 10, 2010, 11:18:36 AM
I totally agree with you about trying to get the games in. It should be decided on the field. This happened in the LL tourney 2 years ago.

Exams do come first and the NCAA would not have it any other way.  99.9% of these student athletes will not have an opportunity to play after college and their degrees mean everything to them. The players want to take care of it on the field, but the administrators needs to think about the whole package.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 10, 2010, 11:42:56 AM
While Cortland has a right to be partially miffed, if they'd taken care of business against Oneonta on Friday, we might not be having this discussion. Cortland then would've had a chance against Brockport in the winners' bracket game on Saturday and probably wrapped up a 2-0 record there. But, it is what it is. If anything, the bylaws will be re-examined in the summer and I'm hopeful the rules will be changed or tweeked in the event something like this occurs again.

I guess the wise thing to do now would be to hope for great weather when the regional roles into Auburn in a few weeks.

Brockport beat Oneonta all 3 games this year. They are only good when Filak pitches. Oneonta players didn't even care about playing out of the loser's bracket after they lost to Brockport.

I'm sure Brockport is excited they were awarded the championship, but I think they would have rather proved it on the field. No team WANTS to win that way, its just the way the rules are. Maybe Cortland will get to play them in Regionals and then we'll see who "should have" been the SUNYAC champs

To bad school has to get in the way.   :(

I remember the three years we (Eastern CT) made it to regionals and had to travel we got home late Sunday night and had to contact our teachers and take all of our finals Monday or Tuesday morning in order to go to Regionals. 

The only way this happens is if kids build a quality relationship with the teachers.  IMO most players dont do this and most kids have not grasped the idea of not playing professionally after college.  I have heard numerous kids get excited about maintaining a 2.0 just to be eligible. 

With quality relationships built, I bet these teachers would have allowed their students to take their exam at a different time.

They could have easily played on Sunday, but as we stated, if they knew Brockport was leaving, there really was no point in pressing the issue...So yes pg this was a ploy.

I think it's foolish to insinuate that unless Brockport's coach has a history of this type of thing, which I don't think he does.  Bottom line is that it's a rule that they should find a work around for, but that's not the fault of the players or coaches. 

What's interesting is that Cortland has won, I think, 17 of the past 20 conference championships.  2 of those 3 losses came in situations where the tournament was stopped due to weather.  Given their history, it's not crazy to think that they could have come back and won both.  Just a little food for thought.

What's done is done. Cortland will more than likely get another chance at Brockport at the regionals as long as both teams are sent to Auburn. If not, Brockport will get a chance to take on say Wooster, Heidelberg or Marietta in Ohio.

On a side note, a team should never play three games in one day.

You go play three games in that weather. Good Lord, it's over. Move on. The weakest team was ousted immediately, and the team that somehow was best when it counted most gets rewarded.

And the best team of them all is still going to the NCAAs, unless they get screwed by a committee member with a clear bias.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Truthfinder on May 11, 2010, 10:28:52 AM
In other news, I can't take the Pool C chatter any more.

Let's end the Plattsburgh myth right now.

Their record is beyond bloated.

At first glance, 30-10 is impressive, but the facts on how they got there cannot be argued.

For the sake of argument, let's say a "top-quality" win would be against a team that finished with at least 25 wins. Plattsburgh's record against teams with 25 or more wins was 1-5, and they were outscored 62-26 in those games, i.e., not competitive against the best teams on their schedule.

The closest thing to a quality win on their schedule is taking Game 2 of a twinbill against 28-win Oneonta in conference regular-season play. They went 0-3 against Cortland, and were pounded by Castleton. The only other 25-win team on their schedule was Skidmore, a game that was first postponed because of a poor weather forecast. The Cardinals chose not to reschedule that game, instead adding St. Michael's (6-27-1) to fill that slot.

To say they are worthy of Pool C is insulting to the entire national tournament.

-- They went 7-7 against teams in their own conference.
-- Their starters had a 29.08 ERA in the SUNYAC tournament.
-- They have no record of excellence, having gone 1-16 all-time in conference tournament games.

Now, the Plattsburgh coach and fans will argue that the 18-game winning streak should figure into their argument for Pool C.

So who did they beat?

No one.

The combined winning percentage of the opponents in that 18-game streak was a less-than-mediocre .456, and none of those teams finished with better than a 23-17 record (Manchester College). It includes doubleheader sweeps of Minnesota-Morria (10-24) and Millikin (11-29), plus single-game wins over Wilkes (13-19), Penn State-Abington (15-20) and Scranton (16-24).

If they are deemed elite, worthy of Pool C, then the entire selection committee -- which includes Plattsburgh coach Kris Doorey, remember -- should be overruled and the NCAA should appoint an emergency panel to investigate.

John great point.  This is unbelievable on here.  I do love the conspiracy theories though.  How bout this for an idea... Regular season champ gets the bid... a much more true representation of pitching depth and a much larger schedule of games to prove yourself.  Especially in leagues like the LL where they play 24 games I think it is a stronger accomplishment to win the league then a two day tournament.

Just started reading this board, but Truthfinder...get a life.  You act like Doorey and the Cardinals are criminals for wanting to make the tournament and self promoting.  Forgive them for trying to play at the highest level they can...Did Doorey run over your dog?  Or are the attacks just so you can go for the record of lowest karma ever on D3 boards?

Find a team and right something positive about them.

i agree, too many people saying too many negative things about teams, players, coachs, etc.... on this board......dont take anythng away from a team for competing, these kids work hard to win these ballgames and be student athletes and to downgrade performances, or rip on coachs is not fair for all the hard work these guys put in.....dont forget this is most coachs JOB and they work very hard at what they do.....and d3 players dont get money to play, they play because they love the game and they should be commended for their effort and character.

LL tournament this weekend- i like either skidmore or UR i just dont think ST LAWRENCE or Clarkson has the depth on the hill to compete for the whole tourny.......but clarkson has a sometime potent offense, and after seeing some of the numbers the skidmore offense seems to struggle greatly at some times......be interested to see who else comes out of the NY region with Brockport and most likely cortland. Who made it from farmingdale states league down that way this year?

Right now I believe the NY region looks like this

Cortland - Pool C
St John Fisher - Pool B
Brockport - SUNYAC - Pool A
Manhattanville - Pool A
Rochester or Skidmore  - Pool A - Liberty League
Mid Atlantic Team - Pool A
New England Team - Pool A

Any other thoughts?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

Cortland
St John Fisher
Brockport

Farmingdale St
Rochester or Skidmore
New England Team
Mid Atlantic Team

What about St John Fisher? Do you think they have a shot at a pool B?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: John McGraw on May 11, 2010, 01:19:13 PM
Fisher should definitely be a Pool B into New York.

Manhattanville is closer to Trenton IMO than it is to Auburn. I suspect as well that the Valiants will be heading to TD Waterfront Park instead.

However, you still should have 2-3 teams from out of the region coming to Auburn. Likely suspects will be from the Mid-Atlantic, New England and Mideast.

Last year in the LL tournament, RPI wound up playing 2.8 games on Sunday as they needed to finish 8 innings against Skidmore, then beat Clarkson once, and then lost to Clarkson in a winner-take-all.  This was done so that they wouldn't merely give the conference tournament to Clarkson, with the continuation of Skidmore/RPI beginning around 7 AM to make sure the games would all be played.  The LL had a few tournaments end prematurely due to weather and realized this should not happen so they played almost 3 entire games on the Sunday before the bracket was released.  I guess I just don't understand why 2.8 is acceptable but 3 is a serious no-no.  And I understand the SUNYAC had the bi-laws that the tourny had to be done on Sunday or whatever, but I think it was do-able to actually finish the tournament, so that should have been done.

I'm fine with not agreeing with everything a team does or puts out...but you take it over the top.  I would love to hear what you think about the upcoming NY regional.  Skidmore would be a tough out with their dominant staff.  Should be a good one and it will not include Plattsburgh.  Who you think is the most dangerous team out there?

Alright, so I have been sitting back and watching as Truth went on about Plattsburgh... and I have watched as everyone argued with Truth and what not. Well, I 100% agree with Truth. He is absolutely correct about Plattsburgh. Having a good record against no one doesn't mean anything. Yes, he can do whatever he wants to try to promote his team... but what kind of defense will he have when they ask why his team is deserving? Because they had a good record? What about conference play and the conference tournament? Look at what Joe Brown does at Cortland, he tries to schedule the toughest games for his team to prepare them for SUNYAC play. I remember a few years back Cortland was down in Florida and JB tried playing then #1 Otterbein (I think thats how you spell it) but Otterbein did not want to play Cortland. Coach Doorey could very well have done the same. The schedule is never set in stone and just because they are far away from other teams, doesn't mean they can't go out and play someone. If you want to get your team on the national stage then you do what it takes to make that happen. Take a 4 hour trip to play a solid team, show them what you are about and if you prove to be a competitive team then maybe the following year that team will try to schedule you because you are a worthy competetor. Playing St. Michaels and playing the Wisconsin State Chastis jv team isn't going to make you a better or improve your overall ranking when it comes down to fighting for a pool C bid, if you lose your conference tournament - which they obviously did.

The SUNYAC tourney needs to start on Thursday, period end of story. Weather is iffy at best in NY and this type of stuff happens! The only other logical thing that could be done is move the SUNYAC tournament to a place like Delutis field in Rome.  There are 2 fields in the same place and you could play 2 games at the same time if need be! That way, in the case of bad weather, you could get a double elim 4 teamer over very quickly! Bad thing about Delutis is there isnt a campus atmosphere, which at Cortland was always awesome! Start the Tourney a day early and the only way the tourney doesn't get played is a total washout!
On a side note, even as a C-State baseball Alum, I am very happy for Brockport getting in the regional. Tom McCormick, Brockport's SS is a former player of mine and has busted his behind and deserves to experience a regional! Yeah T-Mac

pudge - Did not mean to insult Cortland...just Tf.  I respect the dominance that Cortland has had over the NY region for the past 10 years.  I would relate Truth to a Yankee fan who hates on the Rays just b/c they are doing all they can to reach the highest level.  Ever think that Doorey plays the FL schedule he does b/c it saves the program $ and allows them to make two trips.  He can't control who else plays in Fort Myers.

However, I'll repeat it now since we're near bracket time: I heard they're in, and that they not only knocked Rochester out of the field, but that two other teams (why two, no idea?) had to be moved to other regions because Doorey's team is going to Auburn.

I am in agreement with the Truth man on this one.  I think Oneonta is a solid pick and I have been kind of lobbying for them all along.  As previously stated on the LL board, two wins against Cortland and one against Fisher make them a solid pick.  Is it the Filak show or do they actually have a shot on winning another game or two??  Red Dragons everywhere in Auburn.

Doorey tells the Plattsburgh paper that the Cardinals were the first team out, and that Oneonta was the last team to get into the field.

"Fifty-five teams make the tournament and we were actually 56," said Doorey.

"For most of the season, we were ranked No. 2 or 3 in the New York Region and Oneonta was never ranked ahead of us. It hurts."

"I'm sure there are people on the committee who have never heard of Plattsburgh."

I could say a lot of things here, but Plattsburgh fans, you deserve better.

I watched mostly 3 of the games from yesterday, and I do not understand how you can say Plattsburgh should be here, did you not see how awful their pitching staff was in the conference tournament? I give their coach credit to some extent by playing the hand he was dealt. He gets kids who throw strikes, put the ball in play, and play defense. Thats the bare minimum you need to win ball games and they do have it. I just totally disagree with the statement that they should be here, but also the oneonta farmingdale game was one of the worst displays of baseball I have ever seen so I hope you just made that statement out of utter disgust

I'm very new to D3 Baseball, so my opinions should be taken very lightly. It just seems like Plattsburgh would have competed very well in the regionals. Alot is made of their team ERA being high, but they still won 30 games. Some major league teams have won world series despite below average pitching. The bottom line is if you win not how you win. Should a team that wins 2-1 be considered better than a team that wins 12-11?

scscoach,
You may be new to D3 Baseball but there's certainly nothing new about your knowledge of sports. Your coaching experience alone puts you head and shoulders above a large number of the posters who come on this board or other New York Region sites. I value your opinion and objectivity a great deal more than posters who come on and spout off about teams and coaches with blanket statements that have no factual basis. I'm sure over the next three years (at the very least) you'll be a welcome and valuable contributor to D3 baseball. Welcome aboard, coach.

coach, your entitled to your opinion just as anyone else is in this board, I am new to the boards myself. I also agree with your statement about the 2-1 or 12-11, they are both wins but when it comes down to tournament play most games arent that high scoring pitching is needed especially to win tournaments, there is a reason plattsburgh is 1-16 (quoting truthfinder im not sure myself) in the SUNYAC tournament. Also the reason their games are 12-11 is for the reason that they play The School of the Recently Deceased (again quoting truthfinder) I understand your logic in retrospect I just simply disagree with you on the statement they should be in regionals thats all.

This is a pretty interesting conversation.  Question you need to ask, whether it be for Plattsburgh or UR or whomever is:  Do they DESERVE to be there or could they compete IF they were there.  Big difference.  Another thing to keep in mind is that there are really very few at large bids to be had and bad things can happen when you leave it up to someone else. 

I agree with the coach that 30 wins is a lot and you should consider the body of work BUT, it's human nature to put a little extra weight to how a team finishes.

Welcome coach!  Always glad to have new posters on the boards.

The hardest thing for new D-III fans to comprehend, especially those who see multi-conference bids to the Big East/SEC/Big 12 to D-1 Men's Basketball "March Madness", is how hard the at-large bids are to get in D-III.

Plattsburgh was probably the next team from the NY region among the last 8 teams considered for the 15th and last bid.  You can almost point to one game as being the reason that a team did not make the playoffs.  After the automatic qualifiers are awarded, there are still 320 teams that are left in Pool C.  There are only 15 bids to Pool C.

Many of us now view the conference tourneys with the 200+ teams that are invited to the conference tourneys as the first step on the road to the D3 Series.

Ralph,

Thanks for that explanation/commentary. It helps me to better understand some of the decisions made each year. I have followed the selection process for many years and would say the Selection Committee does an excellent job of considering all the options.

I would think it is becoming increasing easier and yet increasing more difficult to make those last few selections, given the internet/internet TV broadcasts/D3Boards etc.

Easier in the sense information and communication flows and is shared more quickly; more difficult because now 'everyone', due to the same type of access, is an 'expert'.

D3 Baseball is such an exciting brand of competition. Great competition, great committment, great passion, great value. Cannot go wrong.

Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

Good stuff on here.  I am going to throw another little twist in on this one.  I still think Rochester should have been the next team in, not Plattsburgh.  In comparison:

U of R- Regular season champs, one win in conference tourny.
Common Opponents: Rochester 7-2, Brockport 4-2 (Close here)
Plattsburgh- 2 and out in Sunyac.

now I understand that region record is of primary importance here, but Rochester plays in the UAA and plays solid programs  Emory, Wash & Jeff., etc.  They don't have the luxury of playing Morris the Cat and the Penn State school system. 

I still think Rochester should have been next (4-0 against RPI!) not Plattsburgh,

Welcome coach!  Always glad to have new posters on the boards.

The hardest thing for new D-III fans to comprehend, especially those who see multi-conference bids to the Big East/SEC/Big 12 to D-1 Men's Basketball "March Madness", is how hard the at-large bids are to get in D-III.

Plattsburgh was probably the next team from the NY region among the last 8 teams considered for the 15th and last bid.  You can almost point to one game as being the reason that a team did not make the playoffs.  After the automatic qualifiers are awarded, there are still 320 teams that are left in Pool C.  There are only 15 bids to Pool C.

Many of us now view the conference tourneys with the 200+ teams that are invited to the conference tourneys as the first step on the road to the D3 Series.

I'd like to give a shoutout to the Plattsburgh softball program.

In only 12 years of existence, they've already been to the NCAA tournament twice, plus one World Series. That's how you build a program and make a real splash.

It's too bad baseball hasn't had a sniff of that success. Maybe Chip Cummings should have sunk his money in a real program ... the PSUC Softball Team!

Just reviewed the coaching salaries at Plattsburgh. Very interesting, women's hockey checks in at No 1, followed by men's hockey, men's soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's soccer, track and field, softball, lacrosse and baseball.

I can't believe women's hockey was atop the list, comfortably I might add.

looking at the all american team... steve nickel?? jason simone?? looking at the numbers... nickel had better numbers then almost all the 3rd basemen listed... simone had numbers just as good as the other outfielders. I would like to see how these teams got chosen. Gardner and June also could have easily been chosen as well... I know it is not always about the numbers... but those 4 players were the heart of the Cortland offense. Hopefully these 4 keep up the great work and put up big numbers at the world series, lets go c-state - run the table.

Cortland's Travis Ratliff loads the bases in the 1st inning hitting the leadoff hitter with a pitch, followed by 2 walks. He then strikes out the cleanup hitter, gets the next batter on a flyball to center, which plates a run and get outs of further trouble with a popup to the 3rd baseman. Stevens Point takes the early 1-0 lead. Could have been much worse as the Pointers were lookiing at a big inning.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 11:26:44 AM
Cortland comes back in the bottom of the 1st to score a run after Matt June leads off with the game's first hit, is advanced to 2nd on a groundout and scores on a base hit by Anderson Gardner.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 11:41:03 AM
Ratliff having a problem with his pitching hand. Gets the 1st 2 batters on a flyout and strikeout, then gives up a single and double to put men on 2nd and 3rd. Proceeds to walk the next 2 batters to force in a run and then gives up a bases clearing double to the cleanup hitter. Point scores 4 in the top of the 2nd to go up 5-1.   
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 12:06:45 PM
Ratliff comes out of the game and is replaced by Adam Brown on the mound for the top of the 3rd. Stevens Point gets a single, a walk and 2 more singles in the inning to score 2 more runs and open up a 7-1 lead. Not looking good for the Red Dragons. Point has already turned 2 double plays, 1 in the first and 1 here in the bottom of the 3rd after the leadoff batter singled. At the end of the 3rd still 7-1.

Pointers put men at the corners on an error, stolen base, and another error with 2 down, but Brown induces a ground out to 2nd to hold them scoreless in the top of the 5th. Still 7-3 with Dragons coming to bat in the bottom of the inning. Pointers have left 9 men on base already. 
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 12:54:47 PM
Cortland loads the bases on an error, a walk and a base hit with 1 out. A ground out to 1st scores a run leaving runners at 2nd and 3rd but another ground out, this one to 2nd, allows the Pointers to escape without any more damage. Now 7-4 going into the 6th. Red Dragons chipping away but fail to get the big inning that they need.

An error allows the leadoff man on base and 2 singles after 2 outs plate another run for the Pointers. Cortland goes down in order in the bottom half. Going to the top of the 7th with Point up 8-4.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 01:29:36 PM
Mike Mahay who came on to pitch in the top of the 6th with 2 out, stays in the game and throws a scoreless 7th for Cortland. Finally got the story on why Travis Ratliff left the game after 2 innings and what probably caused him some problems when Stevens Point put 4 runs on the board in the 2nd. Apparently he had a callous on his pitching hand that broke open. The trainer came out and looked at him during the 2nd inning right after he had walked a couple of batters and just prior to him giving up a bases loaded double. I guess they tried to bandage it but ultimately it ended his day.

Cortland goes down in order in the bottom of the 7th. Stevens Point is held scoreless in the top of the 8th. Cortland coming to bat desperately needing to rally.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 01:37:26 PM
Cortland starts the bottom of the 8th with a leadoff walk and Point's coach has now went to his bullpen for the 1st time. Maybe the Red Dragons will fare better against this guy.

Steve Nickel hits a fly ball to right that gets by the outfielder allowing Gardner to score and Nickel ends up on third. Next batter hits a grounder that scores Nickel. Now 8-6 with no one on and 1 out.

Khyle Dimino walks with 1 down and steals 2nd. Tying run comes to plate.

Kris Gentzke walks. Now runners on 1st and 2nd with the go ahead run coming to bat.
Pinch hitter for Cortland, Kevin Jackson now up.

Jackson draws a walk and the bases are now loaded with 1 out. Pointers coach now making another pitch change. Tyler Lorenz, the pitcher Point is replacing came in with a runner on 1st and gave up a triple (that should probably have been a single) then retired a batter on a ground out followed by 3 straight walks.

New pitcher for Point Ryan Iverson comes in and walks Damon Arnold, the 1st batter he faces to make it 8-7.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 01:57:55 PM
Matt June hits a line drive at the shortstop, who snags it and throws to 3rd doubling up Kris Gentzke and ending the Cortland rally.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 28, 2010, 02:10:17 PM
Cortland pitcher Mike Mahay retires the Pointer in the top of the ninth on a flyout, a lineout, a base hit and another flyout. Mahay who came on in the top of the 6th with 2 down did a great job holding the Pointers scoreless for three and a third innings. He gave up 4 hits with 1 strikeout and no walks.

Cortland starts the bottom of the ninth with a leadoff single by Adam Dimino. The catcher throws down to 1st trying to pick off Dimino but throws the ball into right field and Dimino goes down to 2nd. Anderson Gardner sacrifices Dimino over to 3rd and Steve Nickel is at the plate. Intentional walk issued to Nickel to try and set up the double play. Billy Ribeiro in to pinch run for Nickel. New pitcher in the game for the Pointers and Jason Simone at the plate. 3-0 count and Simone delivers a base hit up the middle to tie it up. Yeah!!! Red Dragons!!!

Khyle Dimino walks to load the bases with still 1 out. Kris Gentze at the plate to try and win it for Cortland.

Gentze trys to call time but the ump doesn't give it to him and he jumps back in the box but swings and misses and strikes out.

Cortland got behind early in this game because of all the free passes issued to the Pointers in the 1st 3 innings. 4 of those free passes ended up scoring. They also had a runner score in the 6th that led off the inning and got on base because of an error.

But it's funny how things seem to even out as Cortland scored a run in the 4th that was from a leadoff walk. They scored a run in the 5th that was from a runner that got on base due to a leadoff error. They scored 2 more runs in the 8th that were a direct result of 5 walks issued by Pointer pitchers in that inning and the eventual winning run in the 9th was scored by Billy Ribeiro who came in to pinch run for Steve Nickel who was, you guessed it,  intentionally walked!!

Who does Cortland turn to for the next game, now that Ratliff, Brown and Mahay pitched today. Ratliff didn't throw much but obviously that finger isn't going to heal up in a day or 2 so he's probably out. Either Mike Assman, Scott Hartling or Brendan Hourihan. I'm thinking Assman.

My guess is Assman, Hartling would probably be game 3 and Hourihan has been a stud in long relief and would also come in early if anyone else runs into trouble like today.  Don't forget Derosa, who may have been Cortland's most reliable pitcher overall this year.

Wow, what an ugly game from a pitching standpoint.  You would think in game one with the aces on the mound you would see a much better pitched game than that.  Ugly.  Good win for the Dragons, for some reason as stated earlier i like their chances this year because they simply haven't been thought of as a national contender all year.  This is the quietest top 10 Cortland team that I can remember in regards to their chances of winning.

IWU loads the bases with no outs on 3 straight singles, but Kris Gentze gets a stikeout and induces the next batter to hit a comebacker to him and the Red Dragons turn the DP to get out of a major jam. Good job by Gentze. Still 4-4 with Cortland coming up in the bottom of the 4th.

Dragons with men on 1st and 2nd and 1 out. IWU goes to the bullpen and Anderson Gardner singles up the middle to give Cortland a 5-4 lead. A fielding error loads the bases and Jason Simone singles up the middle to knock in 2 more runs. Next batter strikes out to end the inning but Cortland now leads 7-4 heading into the top of the 5th.

IWU back in business with the bases loaded and no outs in the top of the 6th. Sac fly to left field scores 1 run. Men on 1st and 2nd. Next batter HBP loads em up once again. 2nd hit batsman of the inning. Coach Brown arguing the call as the batter made no effort to get out of the way. Now Brown is going to his bullpen. Brandon Derosa coming in to pitch for Red Dragons. Derosa walks the 1st batter he faces and another run scores. Next batter singles through the right side to tie the game at 7-7. Derosa srikes out the next batter. 2 down. Next batter grounds out to 1st. Bottom of the 6th coming up, 7-7 ballgame.

After the 1st batter flys out to right, Adam Dimino and Gardner both draw walks with Steve Nickel coming to bat. Nickel triples to right center and Red Dragons regain the lead 9-7 and looking for more. Simone hits a grounder to 2nd base who throws home and Nickel is out at the plate. Khyle Dimino strikes out to end the inning, but Cortland back in front once again. But no lead seems safe in this game.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

IWU goes down in order for only the 2nd time in the game. Good job by Derosa. Red Dragons coming to bat in the bottom of the 7th.

Zilnicki opens the bottom of the 7th with a triple and the Red Dragons looking for some insurance runs. Pinch hitter Kaplan for Cortland grounds to 3rd and Zilnicki has to hold but Shawn Bailey bunts to the 3rd base side and Zilnicki score and Bailey goes to 2nd on a throwing error by the pitcher. IWU goes to the pen again and June and Adam Dimino are retired on a flyball to left and a ground ball to 1st. Cortland gets 1 more and now leads 10-7.

Post by: magicman on May 31, 2010, 06:55:52 PM
Derosa retires the 1st batter in the top of the 8th but a base hit and a walk have brought the tying run to the plate. Action in the Cortland bullpen. Derosa walks the next batter and to load the bases and Coach Brown is bringing in Mike Mahay. If the Red Dragons ever needed a ground ball to 2nd or short, now would be the time.

Cortland gets the grounder to second but its a slow one and they can only get the out at 1st. 2 down men on 2nd and 3rd. Run scores to make it 10-8. Ground ball to 3rd basemen who throws high to first and another run scores. Next batter grounds to the 2nd baseman who throws him out at 1st. Now 10-9 heading into the bottom of the 8th. Really need some insurance runs now.

Mahay does his job and IWU should have only gotten 1 run as he induced 3 straight ground balls.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 31, 2010, 07:20:52 PM
Cortland's Simone singles with 2 outs and steals 2nd but next batter flys out to left to end the inning. Cortland 3 outs away from the win. Fortunately they bat last so if IWU manages to tie it up or take the lead, they will still have a chance.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 31, 2010, 07:23:09 PM
IWU's 1st batter get a single to right. Next batter sacrifices him to 2nd. Next batter flys out to center and the runner moves over to 3rd. 2 down, no wild pitches please, just get the OUT.

No such luck as the IWU cleanup hitter doubles to left center and ties the game up at 10.

Coach Brown is going to the bullpen once again. Brendon Hourihan coming in to try and get the 3rd out.

Hourihan does his job as he stikes out the IWU batter. Cortland needs a big run here to end this game and prevent any more wear and tear on the pitching staff.

Post by: magicman on May 31, 2010, 07:32:58 PM
Cortland opens the bottom of the 9th and Zilnicki does his job and manages a walk to put the lead off runner on. Sacrifice must be coming up. Kaplan drops down the bunt in front of the plate and the catcher throws him out at 1st as Zilnicki moves to 2nd. 2 chance to get a run scoring base hit. C'mon Red Dragons.

Now Cortland has to play Linfield again. and the winner will play IWU for the title. Hopefully Linfield will score only 3 or 6 like they have in their past 2 games and not the 25 they scored on Saturday against the Red Dragons. Win or lose Cortland ends up no worse than 3rd place, which is a pretty good showing for the SUNYAC. Good job guys. Hope you can win 2 more games.

2 innings in the books and Cortland has a 1-0 lead.  Simone singled and was able to advance to third on a pick-off that went by the first baseman.  Khyle Dimino hits a chopper to SS that is bobbled a bit. The throw is not in time to first.  Simone scores, and the Red Dragons have the lead.  Dimino gets to third on a stolen base, and a sac bunt by Bailey.  Zilnicki stikes out to end the inning, leaving Dimino at third.

Linfield gets 1 in the top of the 4th to narrow it to 2-1 but Cortland just scored on a base hit by by Shawn Bailey who drove in Khyle Dimino who had singled and stole 2nd with 1 out. Bailey tried to go to second but is thrown out.

Consectutive hits by John Zilnicki and Adam Fredenburg puts runners on the corners and Matt June doubles to right center to score both runners to make it 5-1. Adam Dimino then singles to center to drive in June and make it 6-1. Linfield's Coach Brosius has seen enough and goes to his bullpen.

Linfield has the bases loaded with 1 out and Coach Brown has finally had to go to his bullpen. Redemption though for Ratliff who had to come out of the 1st game against Linfield after a callous broke open on the thumb of his pitching hand. His availability for this game was questionable but he gave them 8 and a third innings. Now Brendon Hourihan in the game to try and close it out but gives up a double to the 1st batter he faces and Linfield scores 2 runs to narrow the gap to 12-8 with men on 2nd and 3rd.
Hourihan retires the next batter on a grounder to 2nd with a run scoring to make it 12-9 and gets the final out on a grounder to 1b. Red Dragons advance to the Championship game against IWU. Go Cortland.

Cortland down 4-2 after 3 and a half. IWU coming to bat.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on June 01, 2010, 05:23:37 PM
The magic seems to have run out for the Red Dragons as IWU has a 4 run 4th inning and has 3 more in the 5th forcing Coach Brown to his bullpen again to bring in Mike Mahay who relieves Adam Brown. 1st batter he faces hits a 3 run HR and the Titans are now up 13-3.

Well the damage has been done and the Titans put up 9 runs in the 5th inning to go up 17-2. I don't think the Yankees could come back from that deficit with 9 outs left. It was a good run by the Red Dragons and 2nd place in the country is nothing to be ashamed of.

I was hoping for a good game regardless of who won. Just didn't want to see either team get hammered in the final .

Congratulations on a great run in the world series and a great season. I don't think anyone figured Cortland would be in the final game after that loss to Linfield on Saturday. To come back from that loss and beat #1 ranked Johns Hopkins, then undefeated (in the world series) Illinois Wesleyan, and then gain a measure of revenge against Linfield earlier today was a fun ride while it lasted. Way to go Red Dragons.

Nice article earlier on D3baseball's front page about Cortland's win over Linfield to reach the final game. Quote from Coach Brown regarding starting pitcher Travis Ratliff.

"That was one of the best performances I have seen considering his finger," said Cortland Head Coach Joe Brown. "We did not know if he would pitch again this year but you have to give credit to our training staff. They worked with him all week to get him ready."

Here's the link to the complete story:

Post by: magicman on June 02, 2010, 05:19:08 AM
Cortland State had 4 players make the World Series All Tournament Team.

Here's the quote from the Cortland web site:

"Four Red Dragons were named to the World Series all-tournament team. Senior catcher Andersen Gardner (Fairport) batted .500 (10-for-20) with four home runs, a triple, a double, five walks and 14 RBI in six Series games. Senior third baseman Steve Nickel (Lake Ronkonkoma/Sachem North) hit .462 (12-for-26) with two homers, two triples, two walks and 12 RBI. Sophomore second baseman Matt June (Colonie) hit .444 (12-for-27) with two doubles, a triple, three walks and six RBI. Senior center fielder Khyle Dimino (Brighton) batted .423 (11-for-26) with a double, triple, homer, eight RBI and four steals. Dimino hit for the cycle in a win over Johns Hopkins during Day 3 of the tournament."

IWU's Jeff Grodecki was named the tournaments Most Outstanding Player but it could just as easily have been IWU's starting pitcher Jason Pankau. He went 2-0 in the tournament giving up only 2 earned runs with 16 strikeouts in 16 and 1/3 innings. He was also chosen to the all tournament team. He was the only pitcher Cortland faced in the tournament that really silenced the Red dragons bats.

I just want to say that after all the early season Joe Brown bashing, it was a pleasure to see Cortland make such a strong run at the National Championship.

Despite Cortland's team ERA of around 14 for for the World Series, they were resilient and kept putting runs on the board.

Andy Gardner was snubbed by D3baseball.com and the ABCA All-American selections but proved in the World Series that he was one of the best D-III baseball players in the country. It is a debacle that he wasn't the Most Outstanding Player of the Series but the Grobecki kid did have quite a Series himself.

Anyways, 400 wins, 10 World Series appearances and many critics later, Joe Brown can stand tall- and recruit some pitching!!!

I'll go along with that! ;D Having been a Braves fan since 1952, I was especially glad that Filak was drafted by them. I sure hope it works out for him. Being a D3 guy, playing in the SUNYAC conference, and now (I hope) signing and playing for the Braves, gives me three good reasons to follow his career.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on July 03, 2010, 02:40:37 PM
Dave Filak is off to a decent start in his professional career. He's playing for the Danville Braves in the Appalachian League and their season started on June 22nd.
Filak got his 1st start on Saturday June 26th and walked the first batter he faced. After getting the next 2 batters to hit ground outs to 2nd and 3rd, he then walks 2 more batters to load the bases but gets his first professional strikeout to end the inning with no damage. He then retires the next 5 guys he faces in the 2nd and 3rd innings before an error puts a runner on with 2 out in the 3rd. He gets the 3rd out on a fly ball and the team manager decides he has worked enough and replaces him to start the 4th with the Braves up 5-0. Too bad they didn't leave him in for 2 more innings so he could have claimed his 1st professional win. Braves ended up winning the game 9-2 and Filak's stat line was 3 innings pitched 0 hits 0 runs 3 walks and 3 strikeouts. 5 days later he started again and went 5 innings giving up 3 hits and 1 run, with 1 walk and 4 K's. When he left the game the Braves were losing 1-0 and Filak was on the hook for the loss. The Braves never tied the game up or took the lead and ended up losing 6-3 resulting in Filak's 1st decision as a pro and it left him at 0-1. So after 2 starts, Filak has pitched 8 innings giving up 1 run, 3 hits, 4 walks, and recorded 7 strikeouts. His ERA is 1.13. Not too shabby. Hope he continues to improve and move up the ranks in the Braves farm system.

What do you guys think about the new conference schedules for SUNYAC? Best of 3 series now on Fridays and Saturdays...instead of doubleheaders on saturday and sunday. I think it's better because of the BS tiebreakers at the end of the year because the competition is so good other than the always winning team of Cortland everyone else always splits.

I think it is great to see this happen.  Now we will really see how good some of these teams are.  Never did like how some teams could load up on the stronger teams and then throw off on the weaker teams.  Cortland always saw 1 and 2's always.  Now when they see a three......WOW!  Case in point in Oneonta State.  Had 7 wins last year in conf and Filak had 5 of them.  That will change a little.  I always liked the way E8 dose it and the Liberty League with 4 game sets.  Can't wait.

Post by: StarvinMarvin on September 03, 2010, 10:39:00 PM
The Simone kid leaving won't make a huge difference...that program is not built on any one player especially one with a poor attitude and me first motivation.  The kid is a midget who has the arm of a tee league shortstop...word is he thinks he got shafted by not getting drafted and it's the program's fault apparently.  Geez, guess all those Cortland kids who played pro ball got shafted too...what a joke!  So many cases of kids now a days who can't look in the mirror when they fail and must blame everyone and/or everything around them for their failure or disappointment.  No loyalty and it's really unfortunate.  In my opinion, the Cortland program desrves more respect than this young man has shown and I say good riddance!  Kids now-a-days believe the program owes them something and that's a travesty.  That warning track power will fit in nicely down south.  It's a simple case of addition by subtraction, mark my words!   
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: BaseB13 on September 08, 2010, 11:24:03 PM
While I don't know the details of his departure I can say the kid can flat out play/hit.  He was one of the best positions players in the NYCBL this summer.  Maybe not power wise but he's got some speed.  What that translates into at Mount Olive or the draft, who knows.  I'm sure he'll play well there.  I think it's a big loss for any team.  Obviously a program like Cortland can handle the loss of a player like that better than most though.  Why he left is just speculation unless you talked to him.  I heard a different reason.  Not defending his actions necessarily but I can say after seeing him play quite a bit he's a pretty darn good player.

My son knows the young man and this decision comes down to professional baseball...the kid believe that he is being sabotaged by the program plain and simple.  Solid player of course but a team player he is not.  Unfortunately talented kids are given a bit of a pass when it comes to tolerating things that less-talented players are held far more accountable for.  I'm willing to bet that the head coach won't miss having to coddle this young man.  Any kid who thinks that a program(especially DIII) would deliberately hurt a  young man's opportunity to play pro ball is absolutely ridiculous.  My son knows this to be fact.  His abilities aren't worth putting up with his pre-madonna attitude and his exit comes as somewhat of a relief in some regards I would have to imagine.

To be honest, I really couldn't care less...hope things work out for all involved.  However, I simply don't like to see the Cortland program portrayed negatively in this whole scenario.  Not every program is well-suited for every kid and that's reality.  My question is, how do you stay somewhere for three years if you're being done so wrong?  All of a sudden this isn't the place for you?  I hear that the kid did the same thing in high school...transferred from one high school to another for his senior year due to conflict with the head coach.  I don't know the young man personally but what lesson is learned from running away when the going gets tough?  Shoes like that are NOT tough to fill in my opinion.  The real shoes that are tough to fill are the Gardner's and Nickel's of the world who are as much men as they are great baseball players.  The leadership they exhibit is what allows the Simone's of the world to thrive without needing to be held accountable behind the scenes.  Numbers don't mean squat...a player can easily do as much harm to team dynamics as good when it comes to statistics.  However, these are things that cannot be measured and everyone simply looks at numbers and bases their value to the team on that.  Bottom line is that program doesn't normally lose kids and in fact, I challenge anyone to find me the name of the last TALENTED transfer out of Cortland within the last 15 years.  In my opinion, this should tell anyone outside of the program itself a little bit about the truth of the matter.  As a parent, I don't enjoy bashing kids per say but the entitlement factoe does bother me tremendously.

I agree with all of you...big loss for the program on the field.  Loved watching him play but heard he was tough to deal with..Not the first time rumblings have come out about being drafted from the program.  Heard JB almost cost the Tone kid some bucks in dealing with the Twins in the early stages.  Twins scouts thought JB was purposely making it hard to have Tone back for another year.  That was just word on the street.  Anyway, hope Simone finds what he is looking for but not too many 5'8 OF in the bigs!!!!!!

"Big bucks" is when you're negotiating in the top three maybe four or five rounds.  In the 14th round there are no "big bucks" or life-changing amounts of money involved.  In that round the there's very little room for negotiation and no more than 5-10 grand in either direction is gained or lost.  To suggest that the head coach intentionally attempted to hurt Tone's leverage for selfish gain is simply ridiculous.  The bottom line is that young man walked away with a nice chunk of change and his schooling paid for.  People mistake drawing out the negotiation process to benefit the kid for the head coach in this situation must be deliberately steering him in a selfish direction.

My apologies for misquoting you Reddragon...I realize you wrote "bucks' and I wrote "big bucks" but nonetheless I believe you get my point about the round and the corresponding amount(s) of money usually negotiated.

I have seen this kid play.  Actually saw him a bunch this summer.  The wooden bat helps him, more chances for infield hits.  That is his game, he can fly and gets down the line very well.  Outside of that, I don't see where the big move to D2 Mt. Olive really helps his chances.  Actually, I think it hurts him where the players will be bigger and faster. He would have a better chance of standing out up here.  Not that great of an outfielder neither as he played left in the NYCBL.  His numbers were good, solid player at the D3 level, but, I hope he gets his degree.  He was not listed in the top 15 for prospects in the NYCBL.  Now if he was transferring to Florida St....  then we could all get interested.  He can run, maybe someone gives him a shot in indy ball, that would still be a feather in Cortland's cap, after all, that's where he developed.  I wish him luck.

Corland is still one of the best D3 Programs in the country... regardless of this particular situation.
Facts: Mt Olive has had 22-23 kids get drafted or sign in the past 15 yrs and Cortland has had like 21-22.... So you are really comparing similiar programs playing in different divisions. Maybe the kid gets seen by more scouts being in North Carolina and maybe somebody really likes him and gives him a shot.
Maybe he has a great yr and doesn't get a sniff... who knows!
Having Coached Jason and being a Cortland Baseball Alum, I can tell you that the kid did this purely for himself. Doesn't make him a bad person. He feels that he has a better chance to get drafted or signed at MT Olive... Time will tell if its a good decision!~!!!!
Cortland will goes its way, J Simone will go his and SH$$ happens! Its a big loss for Cortland but life goes on and it gives another guy(s) a shot at playing...!

Well, excuse me for weighing in on this...but I hate this time of the year because everything is so slow.........and we have a long, cold winter ahead before we get to watch what we enjoy....watching our guys compete at the college level. My sons team was scheduled to play Cortland last March but it was 'weathered" out. hard to play in snowmobile suits!

I believe that, unless you are a flat out stud, size indeed matters. I don't think you find too many 5'8" or so guys in the majors. It's sad to say that because baseball should be the one major sport where it shouldn't matter. However, everyone is free to pursue his dream.
The best example I can give where size is the gauge concerns a transfer to Illinois Wesleyan. I'm not sure how many guys they lost from their DIII championship team but they picked up a sophomore transfer who was one of the best (class of '09) catchers in Illinois. He had the best "pop time" in the state and, his senior year, shattered the hitting record, getting 66 hits in 33 games, along with 10 home runs. He batted .546 on the year. However, when he toured some of the D1 schools he was told that, even though he was truly outstanding, they had catchers 6'+, 190 lbs+ who were close to the same skill level. This guy is about 5'9" - 5'10", about 175 lbs. His father laughs and holds his fingers a few inches apart and asks, "You know what this represents?"; the difference between AJ and $5 million bucks. In addition to catching, he will get a chance to close games, as he hit 89 on the radar gun.

Scuba brings up point that may get overlooked. More scouts down south, better chance to be seen. Not that Cortland does not get seen, but demographically the south has always been know as the "region with better ballplayers". This being said, if he performs as good if not better down south, his chances of being seen/signed increase imo.

P.S- Winter Sucks
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: StarvinMarvin on November 19, 2010, 03:06:36 AM
more scouts so therefore a better chance of being drafted?  That is a fallacy first and foremost...going down south where the talent pool is greater only lessens one's chances due to being a "small fish in a big pond" ideology.  Some people on here and in general absolutely crack me up!!  No idea WTF they're talking about...ha!  You're talking about a young man who, if he had any chance, is only hurting himself and here's why.  Let's say there's a scout per say, who has been following a player since high school with interest.  This player is not seen as being a draft pick out of high school but this scout wants to further evaluate him in college.  This same player just so happens to go to a college where the same scout can now evaluate him in college because the player is in the same scout's regional coverage.  This scout doesn't deem the player a junior draft pick but wants to see him play his senior year out and possibly sign him as a senior sign for example.  Uh oh, what's this.  The kid has left and is now in a different scout's area of coverage.  Reports can travel but the human intangible does not.  Get a clue people as to how this works before some of you spew off nonsense!

Post by: StarvinMarvin on November 19, 2010, 03:18:11 AM
I also love this AJ and his father story...$5 million smackaroos if the kid was only 6 foot tall instead of 5'1".  How absolutely comical!!  Ever heard of Paul LoDuca?  He's an absolute monster...go check out his height.  How about Craig Biggio, who was a catcher when he first came up.  Check his height out too.  There are plenty of catchers who are under 6 feet tall that have played in the big leagues.  "Pop time" schmop time...do it in a game!!!  The difference between this AJ and $5 million bucks is his ability not his height.  Good for him that hits a whopping 89 on the gun...throw and locate strikes and hopefully he has another pitch or two cuz 89 gets laced all day, even at the DIII level sir!  I'm sure the kid is a very good player but his dad needs to get out of lala land and get over the inch of height being to blame for his son not getting a chance to be the next Jason Varitek.  Oh wait a minute...Ivan Rodriguez is 5'7".  Ask his dad if he's ever heard of him.  CLOWNS!!

You basically proved my point for me through all your beating around the bush non-sense. If a player moves, say down south, and is a small fish in a big pond, and he stands out amoung all the big fish, doesnt that account for raw talent. And if a scout in one region lets another scout in another region know that this kid is coming into his region, and they keep a close eye and he performs as well as he did and still stands out amoung a larger talent pool doesnt that increase his chances of a contract.

Also these boards are more for intellectual conversations and even if someone is wrong, show some professionalism and dont act like a kid. People on these boards are all smart and know the game. And to think you know more than any other person on here shows a little something about your character.

In all actuality, I blew you out of the water cuz the bottom line is you have a very limited perspective on how the draft process works as well as the intricacies of that world.  You choose to focus on the regional aspect of this debate and I'm telling you that although part of it, there's a great deal more that goes into the process of evaluating professional talent.  Throw numbers out the window, it's about projection, makeup, tools and things of that nature.  You must remember that the draft is really geared for the top 5-10 rounds and clubs know the vast majority of their major league talent must be correctly evaluated in those rounds. Yes, there are exceptions to every rule and every year mid to late round picks as well as free agent signings "make it".  Rounds 15-50 represent a lot of turn over in the minor leagues as well as bodies to get their prospects experience in the minors against.  All players at that level are talented but more than 3/4 of the players selected are considered icing on the cake should they help out their parent club someday.  So for me personally, a region or particular college certainly plays a role in the process but the beauty of professional baseball is there's so much opportunity and if you're a good enough player I'm willing to bet you'll be discovered regardless.  Now the draft process is an inexact science but these guys are on more often than not. Of the major sports in our country, baseball is the only one whereby your professional career is not out of the question should you fail to secure a division I opportunity.  I apologize for being offensive or disrespectful but I try to tell it like it is.  Just tired of reading and listening to misinformed people who only fuel many of misconceptions that are so prevalent regarding professional baseball.  Kids now a days think everyone owes them something and if they don't get drafted then someone  must have done them wrong.  Should have gone D1, should have gone down south, if I was only taller.  How about 32 teams don't think you're capable of playing at that level.  No one owes you anything and your numbers don't mean squat.  Get over and get on with your life...it's a tough game!

One more thing if I may...people on these boards are all smart and know the game?  That is the most ridiculous statement I think I have ever heard.  If you only knew what it truly means to "know the game" I think you may retract that but maybe not.  I'll take my questionable kid-like character all day and minus karma points while you walk through life eating granola, listening to Dan Fogleberg and praying for the day they give out medals for a tenth place finish!  Having some fun...lighten up and laugh a little, it's good for you!

MLB scouts/teams don't draft you on how good you are now, they draft on how good they think you'll be in 4-5 yrs. Scouts are trying to project how good you'll be. The bigger, faster, stronger, the better chance you'll have in the Minors to develop... so they say.
If you are that good, you'll be found no matter where you are. Fact is, 5'7-5'8 kids don't get too many shots. You have to really have a local scout like you that can convince his regional cross checker to also like you.  Lemke, Eckstein, Pudge sized guys don't happen much.
The other thing is, you really have to love baseball to survive in the minors. All day practice during spring training in the Florida heat, followed by playing in podunk towns. Not too great living conditions, not good pay, long bus rides= not easy to do!

Minor league guys go into spring training weighing 220 and come out 190.... that **** can't be fun!!!!

Hey Guys,
Its been awhile since I have posted. I was wondering about Indy Ball. My son played at the Division 3 level and was all region player 3 times and an all conference player as well. He had very good college stats.....averaging a .350-.380 BA every year with alot of RBIs and 4-5 Home Runs. I know its a tough answer since you prob havent seen him play but do you think he has a shot at playing Indy ball? Whats the level like at Indy ball....does an above average college D3 Player have a chance to excel there? He is been trying to contact teams via email but they seem to invite him to tryouts....are these tryouts worth it? Hope someone knows more than me!

Thanks

As Jay-Z once said, "What you want me to say, I'm sorry? I'm back."

So I just perused the Plattsburgh schedule for 2011 ... he's got some powerhouses. Yes, he plays Heidelberg (and surely got the Cusic organizers to squeeze him in between two of the 'Berg's better matchups).

Among this year's highlights on Doorey's schedule:

-- Of his first five opponents (Old Westbury, Southern Maine, Ithaca, Dubuque and Milikin), none was better than 20-18 last season. Combined, they were 86-118-1. Quality.

-- He can play Utica (7-25), SUNY Canton (2-year school) and the powerhouse St. Michael's (6-27-1), but no RPI, Skidmore or St. Lawrence?

Guess 2010 taught no one anything ... you can't beat the sisters of the deceased and think you're getting into the NCAAs.

I've said it before....the only poll that matters is the last one at the end of the season.  They are conversation starters and sometimes recruiting tools, other than that they mean nothing.  Especially in DIII college baseball where there are hundreds of schools, most of who rarely get out of their region to play.  I believe that Fisher and Skidmore both are not getting much respect since they won their leagues last year.  Fisher was not that far removed from winning the NY region instead of Cortland! 

I don't know why "truth" is so bitter and angry.  You're taking years off of your life, man.

Play the games, beat who is front of you, win when it matters most, and see where the chips fall.

Pre season polls are like opinions and --------- everyone has one but dont really matter except for discussion boards and off the field talk for fans. Players and coaches care less. Do on the field is only thing that counts.

At the end of the regular season the NCAA Regional rankings BEFORE the playoffs are the ones that count. Along with the SOS(Strength of Schedule), OWP/OOWP(Opponents Winning Percentage). If you play a weak schedule don't cry when your staying home at playoff time  because you won 30 games but had a weak SOS...or lost your conference tournament

Yeah I see your point on the poll before the play-offs being important.  Especially in college sports where there is a selection committee that has to sort things out.  You gotta get invited to the dance before you can prove you're worth of being there.

Cortland is just too good every year still don't know why there in SUNYAC really. However they are a lot weaker than usual this year... obviously because they lost some big names...anderson, nikiel's, dimino's and of course now simone. However they are still going to be solid and contenders...because they are cortland. Oneonta beat cortland twice because of one word and that is "Filak" Oneonta was weak 2 years ago and idk how good these transfers are but we will see i guess. Plattsburgh ranked in top 25... is definately a joke. I think they are scrimmaging St. Mary's for the Blind in the beginning of March as well. (kidding) But P-burgh should not be there i'm sorry at least someone who  actually accomplished stuff last year for example fisher did pretty darn good and several others as well. Sunyac seems up in the air this year really..new paltz with some good pitching still, fredonia always having a good hitting every year, brockport won the darn sunyac title (of course with some help of mother nature and some bi laws) I think this year is going to be a full start to finish one game season near the end especially with the new conference weekend formats.

Remember, telling recruits you are a preseason top 25 team is not a bad conversation starter.  Thats all I am saying about the mighty Cards.  I can't understand why Brockport is not being mentioned.  They may not have the best players, but, every year they are playing for it, and have had their share of regionals experience the past 5-6 years.  Its about time Oneonta plays a bit tougher Florida schedule.  Recent years they usually go 9-1, 10-0 against some god awful teams.  Who the heck is Baker College anyway?

Last I checked Filak didnt bat against Cortland,and Cortlands pitching didnt get much better in the off season.Oneonta has played some patsies in the past in Fla. but from what I can tell they have at least 4 games with teams that made Regionals last year down in Fla.I dont see P-burg being in the top 25 but I would rather see them their than some team from the N-West that plays a weak schedule against inferior competition. The best D-III ball is played in the New York and New England regions.Yes you have great teams in the other regions ,but,top to bottom I'll take this area against the field.

That NECC is a very weak conference.  Basically, a bunch of sub par schools got together and formed their own league to basically guarantee an at-large bid.  Very similar to the league over here with Keuka, Cazenovia, etc...  too bad a team like an Oneonta, or someone like that would possibly not get in over a team like Becker or Cazenovia!!

airball55, you are right about that,The NECC formed when some of the schools were basically kicked out of their old leagues.There are quite a few good players in the league they are just spread out on the different teams.A team like Southern Vermont is closer to most of the New York schools than they are the New England schools,but no-one wanted them in their league.I think they were in the GNAC at one time and then went Independant before joining the NECC.

Will have to get a disastrous ninth inning out of their minds. Dragons saw Bridgewater score six times in final at-bat. And after the first two batters were retired no less! Solo hr began the uprising, followed by hit batter, two singles, walk, single and game deciding two-run double. CState had just extended a 10-9 lead through eight innings

Jdex,is Cortland struggling with their pitching ,like it seems or just early season rust?Relievers seem to be a weak point for them this year.Coach Brown must be quite dissapointed with thier preformance so far.Could this be a year Oneonta takes advantage of a possible weakness in Cortland?

Wow.  Six runs with only one out to get to close it out.  That is why baseball is so great - no time clock.  I'm not sure about there being a blanket concern about Cortland's pitching, though.  They seemed to be fine in their opener, giving up only 2 runs (one on a PB/WP) to a strong Shenandoah team.  Bullpen obviously has to be a concern after yesterday, but Hourihan did a fine job in the opener in middle relief.

I do believe this will be a year that other SUNY teams may close the gap, though.  Oneonta, to me, has to prove they can be successful without Filak.  Plattsburgh, "truth's" whipping boy, has to prove they can consistently beat quality opponents.  I would not discount Brockport as they always seem to end up in the mix.

I think with the transfers Oneonta got in and the way Ferchen has been building his program Cortland and the rest of the SUNYAC will have their hands full.Filak wasnt the only reason Oneonta won last year,they have smart players and speed on their side .I'm not dicounting what Filak did last year but people seem to think he pitched every game Oneonta played last year.And if I was Cortand I would worry about not closing out games when you have the chance,I think this could be a down year for them.Plattsburg I just dont know enough about.

Egad, it's the middle of February! Any other SUNYACers daring to play this early against respectable southerners with games (and plenty of outdoor work) already under their belts? Don't get down on Cortland. This weekend only helps a team that from a distance (as in Florida) appears to have plenty of new, young pieces. Just check out '11 roster and compare to '10 stats.

Agree 100%. It's February, Cortland has a boatload of transfers and needs to replace basically the entire starting line-up from last year minus one or two kids. They'll start with a poor record more than likely but improve as the season goes on. All these games are doing right now is getting them ready for the New York schedule and league play. 

As long as I've been covering the team, they have played a difficult schedule to start the season and this year is no exception. Shenandoah is a legitimate contender for the World Series and Bridgewater/Newport are no slouches. All three teams have probably been outside practicing for some time and I would bet Cortland has not been that lucky.

I would like to see Oneonta play a more difficult Florida schedule before crowning them as the Cortland beater.

I guess what everyone is saying is they should just mail the SUNYAC championship trophy to Cortland now and everyone else is playing for second?Oneontas Fl.schedule
MT.Aloyisus 21-23 last year
Waynesburg 15-22
Juniata          15-25
U-Mass Boston 32-17
Framingham st  24-18
Messiah          22-18
Keene St         27-17
Amherst         21-11

Not alot of gimmes in the bunch,2 teams with sub .500 records from last year.Probaby should have scheduled 7or 8 games with Illinois Wesleyan (oops !!)What i am saying is dont give the crown to Cortland yet there are alot of good teams in the SUNYAC this year and losing 4 or 5 games early hurts.Cortland ,Plattsburg and Oneonta are all going to beat up on each other this year and wins in and out of conference are going to make a big difference when regionals come around.

Post by: airball55 on February 21, 2011, 12:41:30 PM
The southern teams are always ahead of the northern teams early.  Cortland will be great in Florida because they get out before the others.  It is finally good to see Oneonta play a decent team or two on their spring trip.  They traditionally go about 9-1 on their trips because of the slo-pitch softball teams they scheduled at Cocoa Beach.  I think it is most impressive that the 4th starter Cortland rolled out shut out a ranked team, not many teams have that ability.

jdex grew up in nc but live in northeast,actually im a blue devils fan,now back to scheduling,it can work both ways,lets say Cortland ends the season with 29 wins and it loses the sunyac title and they dont make regionals will people look back and say dang,we should have started out with a team we had a better chance at beating at the start of the year.Now losing early is better than losing late in season. I just like the way Oneonta scheduled, first few games are games they should win, then they go into play u-mass boston, why would you not want a couple of tune up games before jumping in the deep end?For Cortland maybe its cockyness maybe arrogance maybe smart coaching ,we wont know til the season plays out.Hell Cortland has been there and done that.But the boys at Oneonta arnt afraid of the big bad wolf anymore and the hunter has now become the hunted.Take it for what its worth i feel Oneonta is the better of the two teams ,thats my opinion im entitled to it just like the Cortland faithfull feel they are better,we wont know til the end of season.

Ahhhhhhhh ..........hope springs eternal ......baseball season! Closer here in Florida. Have my spring training tickets.

As for Cortland Red Dragons, am certain no cockiness on Joe Brown's part. Wants his team ready, and facing quality competition, even early, is his way to go. Has a pretty good track record. Am sure he would have loved to be 4-0, but am pretty sure he's pleased with his team's showing. Would bet on it. Am interested to see box score of  Bridgewater game. Know temps were mild but wind was blowing gale-force at times. Sunday's game in mid-40s cloudy weather. Quite the pitching performances

Tarheel, I love the enthusiasm.  However, you have to get by Brockport first, then you can go after Cortland.  Brockport has been to the dance a bit more than Oneonta, and, has a much better history in the SUNYAC tournament.  Until Oneonta wins the tourny (SUNYAC) I can't put them in the same breath as Cortland, or Brockport.  I am not saying they can't though, they have good players and always have good players.  I think all i am getting at is when Cortland looks in the rearview, they look for Brockport  bit more than the other Red Dragon.

airball55, maybe your right we will just have to wait and see,but i think Cortland is worried about Oneonta more than you or others might be willing to admit.Oneonta lost one of the best pitchers in d3 last year with Filak turning pro,but no-one can say for sure wether or not Oneonta wouldnt have made regionals with out him he was I think 8 and 1 or something like that.Could they have won any of the games he pitched without him?We dont know thats the great thing about baseball.The Phillies have without question the best pitching corps since the Braves of years ago,but that doesnt mean they are guarenteed to win the World Series,(but if they dont it will be a huge dissapointment ha ha).Great listening to yours and others opinions though,it makes the season and off season fun.

Post by: airball55 on February 24, 2011, 07:09:41 PM
Certainly no strike or not trying to take a shot at Oneonta who always has talent.  I compare them some to Rochester in the LL  in the sense that the postseason has not been kind to them.  Obviously, the big difference between the two is Cortland, they are a bit larger hurdle to jump then a LL team.  But with that said, Brockport is sometimes overlooked and frankly I don't get it.  It appears that these will be the three teams again barring any surprises.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: DefenseWins on February 27, 2011, 12:27:10 AM
Oneonta is the Rochester of the SUNY AC as Skidmore is the Brockport of the LL. Oneonta and UR always fold out in playoffs, granted they are always there which is a feat in itself. And at least Oneonta doesn't crumble like Plattsburgh. Skidmore seems to win the LL every so often and Brockport is always in the championship with Cortland and is the only other team other than Cortland to win the SUNY AC in the past decade.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pstate17 on February 28, 2011, 12:52:14 PM
Pitching is obviously down in the SUNYAC this year, with several dominant pitchers leaving.  Oneonta has good pitching returning despite Filak leaving, and Brockport seems to have enough returning.  Plattsburgh brings back most of their staff but can they pitch in the SUNYACs?  Cortland still has to be the favorite strictly based on their reputation and coaching, but with so much leaving they seem to be leaving the field open.  I like New Paltz to not necessarily be in the tournament, but maybe play the spoiler in some big games.

Well so much for the new bats keeping scores down,if the early game results are any indication of of what we will see this year they dont seem to be helping.Talked to a player from the SUNYAC today about the bats and he said as long as you square them up the ball seems to be traveling just as far as with the old ones.I do think your better hitters wont really have a problem with them,its the lifetime .230 hitter that gets hold of a flyer every now and then that will have the most problems with them.Whats everyone elses opinion on them so far?

Post by: Three-N-Two on March 02, 2011, 01:57:38 PM
Cortlands success this year will be determined by "Hitting", more importantly "Timely Hitting"! Last year's 2nd place finish was accomplished with an explosive offense. Coach Brown has his work cutout for him finding the right mix of players, many of which are new to the program. The returning rotation of pitchers with the addition of Aaron Schuldt will keep them in close games, with hitting being the determining factor. So far transitioning from the gym to the field has been slow, but if the coach figures out the lineup and they get their timing at the plate worked out, Cortland is deserving of its ranking in the top 25 and still the team to chase in the SUNYAC. Go C-State Red Dragons!

Post by: Tarheel0550 on March 02, 2011, 02:18:53 PM
I dont think coach brown will have too tough of a time putting the right lineup together,he seems to get it right more often than not.I was just stating on one of the west boards that they shouldnt be so happy with all the west teams in top 20,when most of the east teams have not even started playing yet.I still think the best d3 ball is played in the New York/New England regions even if a team from there doesnt win the series every year.Go RED DRAGONS!!!

Cortland today defeats College of Staten Island 2-1. M. Mahay tosses six-innings of two-hit ball and relievers hold off major late threats. T. Nagy gets save. All of the scoring in the first two innings when M. June hit safely twice. He scored the first run on T. Panetta's rbi double, and drove in the second with a single. Dragons remain on L.I. for games Saturday vs. LI St. Joe's and Sunday vs. Farmingdale.

Oneonta leaving Weds. for there run through Fla. Need to come home with no worse than a 7-3 maybe 6-4 record if they have any chance of repeating going to regionals this year. A 6-4 record would put them on the hot seat for the rest of year and wouldnt have any throw away games.Looking forward to seeing how they stack up this year without Filak on the mound.With the addition of a few transfers and a solid bull pen they should be able to hold their own against the SUNYAC competition.

Can't blame the weather. Ithaca, Southern Maine, and SUNY OLD Westbury were playing in the same conditions. I just think Plattsburgh was way too over rated to start the season. They are going to compete with Oneonta and Brockport for the 2,3,4 spots (not ruling out New Paltz or Fredonia to compete either). I do commend Doorey for finally playing some decent pre-season teams. Ithaca is a tough tough team. I dont know much about the other two they played. Appears their First team all SUNY-AC Shortstop Bouyea is done for the year which hurts.

Plattsburgh lost 1 yesterday, dropping it to Dubuque, IL 8-0.  They were eaten up by 5 errors, which probably could have been 7 or 8 depending on scoring.  Today they got two wins against lowly Millikin but, hey, gotta beat those teams and that's what they were able to do.  8-6 and 7-5 I believe.  Hitting finally came around after having only four hits, all singles, yesterday.  Tough matchup vs. number 1 Heidelberg tomorrow and come back after to face Utica.  Paul Handy looks to be their ace this year while Dan Tracy is clearly struggling thus far.

Plattsburgh drops another, 8-2 to North Park College, IL.  Defense seemed spotty at best, making good plays when they weren't expected to and poor errors on balls that should be fielded. Hitting continues to be a problem for the Cards.  I wonder if the new bat changes are in their heads or what.

Yeah, because only Plattsburgh changed bats.

Let's face it, all the offseason bluster was just that. Bluster. Maybe they should practice more.

The truthfinder is back and is as vicious as ever.  Not to beat a dead horse some, but, Brockport is currently 9-3 with wins against some pretty darn good teams, Rowan, RPI Etc..  May want to take a peek at them as a possible hurdle for Cortland to jump.

I dont know about anyone else but am I the only one who is already sick of reading about what Plattsburgh isn't doing. Let's face it there not good, just ask truthfinder he can tell ya. Sure the bats are going to be an issue if you don't have enough talent.

No problem with the bats there! ::)
I said it before the season and I'm sticking with it.  Good hitters will still hit.  I don't see much of a difference in the offensive production.  Lots of big scores.

Plattsburgh drops two more, 7-6 and 14-4 vs. Bethel.  Hitting was better but couldn't rally at the right times.  I don't know if they aren't playing together or what but there's a lot of the same talent as last year.  It will be a while until games mean anything (SUNYACs), so the shuffling of the lineup and rotation shouldn't concern the Cards.  In other news, Cortland fans don't use spellcheck, or just don't know the difference between places and contractions (there, they're).  It would be they are, or they're, not that good.  Three of four players Plattsburgh lost were sub .300 hitters, so that isn't the whole problem.  Oh and you can't expect media to have any credibility.  People write for the AP because mommy and daddy didn't love them enough.

RDragons win in the 11th with four runs including two-run 2bh by P.J. Rinaldi. This after blowing 14-7 lead through seven frames. T. Nagy, one of six CSt relievers, sends the game to OT with ninth inning final out K to strand winning run on third. B. McClain registers save, getting K and groundout in the 11th. Starter T.

"If the world was perfect,it wouldn't be". The SUNYAC'S also fit in Yogi"s quote. Why start the doubleheaders at noon? It seems your just begging for trouble,when a 10 or 11 oclock start is easily possible. Most teams will come the night before anyway! Secondly ,after watching Div.3 games for the better part of 12 years I still don"t understand allowing upwords of 50 people in the dugouts for games. Most dugouts aren't protected effectively from foulballs as it is. Having this many is not safe or necessary!While I"m on a roll... can"t rosters be required to be completed by a certain date!I understand everyone"s schedule is different but a set date would balance the equation for all.And lastly "if you come to the fork in the road, take it!" so I will,I think?                            Now Oneonta's AJ Bates didn't pitch in Fla.! Is he hurt,if so I hope it's not serious. He's got a live arm and would be a big loss for O-state.Outta time be more later!

So I haven't really thought that the heads of SUNYAC could get any dumber after making Plattsburgh play two teams every weekend while their conference opponents only faced them...for the last two years.  Now we make the switch to three-game sets, which I like the idea of.  Yet someone thinks it's a good idea to play a TRIPLE HEADER in New Paltz on Tuesday.  Three games in one day?  Not safe and unfair for the competitiveness of college baseball.  And don't tell me it's just as unfair for New Paltz as it is for Plattsburgh.  I'm not arguing that.  It's stupid either way to ask these kids to play 3 games in one day.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Tarheel0550 on March 26, 2011, 09:54:50 AM
P-State I agree with you ! Not only unfair to both teams but how many innings are they playing in each game?SUNYAC had it set up to play 1 seven inn game and 2 9 inn games on schedule, if they change that format are they going to do it for all the teams?I dont think they will have them play the 2 9 inn games I bet they will all be 7 and if they do it that way they will have to change it for all games I would think.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: pstate17 on March 26, 2011, 10:51:04 AM
Well the way it is being presented has the double header, or saturday's games, being played at 9 a.m. and the game from Sunday starting at 2:45 p.m.  I would imagine they keep them at the same amount of innings or you run into the problem that you stated just now Tarheel, and thats obviously a different format than all other games.  Two major concerns for me.  Safety obviously playing that much baseball in one day, and quality of baseball by the end of the day.  Is it still going to be good baseball?  Last year our doubleheader with them lasted over 7 hours.  Add another game onto that and you then expect both Plattsburgh (at Casenovia) and New Paltz (at Ithaca) to play another game the very next day??  And 3 more on the weekend vs. conference opponents.  Stupid to sat the least.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: Tarheel0550 on March 26, 2011, 01:24:03 PM
P-State I agree 100% about pitching .Bullpens will be completely depleted and will be a nightmare for those teams to have to play the next day.It sounds as if you will almost have to sacrifice the non-conference games just so you can hope to stay in the conference race.Which in turn can hurt you in the end when trying to make regionals.I think the O-state coach was given the same option and he refused.

3 games in one day is absurd. Every tournament I have ever been a part of both as a coach and as a player has refused to allow a team to play 3 games in one day. Why? Safety.

Just because it happens doesn't mean it should.  And you're right, it does happen, and it might continue to.  That is until someone gets seriously injured from exhaustion, or worse.  It always sounds like a joke until it happens.

Liberty League foes Skidmore and University of Rochester played a DH on this past saturday in stead of their usual 4 game weekend set. Why not just have New Paltz and Pburgh just play 2 and not play the third?? I don't know if there is a requirement to play all SUNYAC games no matter what. I am assuming there is not if the LL does not have it. I just think 3 games in one day is unsafe, especially in the cold where injuries are more likely. How about being the Starter for the 3rd game, sit around for 5-6 hours until your start. Arm injury waiting to happen. I just think there had to be a more logical to go about playing than a TRIPLEHEADER.

Cortland sweeps Brockport, once again scoring in final inning vs. J. Coleman for 4-3 victory in nightcap. Decisive two-run seventh opens with M. Wild single. Bunted to second by M. June. A strikeout is followed by J. Adornetto's game-tying single to right. D. Kaplan singles and after a wild pitch moves the runners up, P.J. Rinaldi is passed to fill the sacks. Coleman wild pitch ends it. Tough loss for Eagles who lead 2-0 entering Cortland fifth. Dragons pull even but fall behind in sixth when Port's C. Booth singles and Siracusa doubles to start the inning. Groundout tallies lead score. M. Mahay starts for Cortland and works 4.2 innings. Three relievers follow, M. Assmann gets win with .2 innings and 1K. Adornetto, Rinaldi and Wild each with two safeties. M. Ciccotti starts for Port and finishes five frames

Late and obvious update

Plattsburgh takes the third game
Plattsburgh  2 - 2 - 1
New Paltz    0 - 6 - 2

Cards take the game with only two hits and make the most of errors on New Paltz's part.  One error by the first baseman scores two in the fifth.  Tyler Greene throws 7.0 good shutout innings.  Good news for Plattsburgh is that their defense seems to have found a rotation that works for the most part.  Bad news...their 1-4 hitters were a combined 3-42 during the triple header.  Forget my earlier postings about baserunning mistakes.  Have to be on base to commit those.  Again, 3-42.  Yikes.

Oneonta on a nice 7 game win streak after dropping Farmingdale and sweeping Fredonia last week and sweeping Oswego sat. and sun.Puts them atop the SUNYAC with their toughest opponents yet to come ie;C-State and B-Port.But does help keep the pressure on both to get a few sweeps of their own.As for the coaching of Oswego I dont think the coach has much confidence in his teams ability to score runs as he pulled the infield in with men on in the very early innings ,and I mean like the first and second inn,and it subjected his team to the inevitable hard liner that gets through to score runs instead of playing double play depth.Oh well hes the coach.As for the pitching of both Fredonia and Oswego I felt it was very weak and I expected more from both.

Only run comes in first frame. Two-out walk to J. Adornetto precedes Thode double to left-center. Thode drives in every CSt run on the day. Adds a nightcap single. Ratliff walks first batter who reaches second on a groundout before pair of groundouts end threat. Cards' D. Roeser had two-out walk in the fifth, swipes second and is stranded on fly to center. First two Pburghers retired in the seventh. Shaughnessy walks and is cut down by J. Fredenburg in steal bid to end it. Cards use four hurlers, B. Piser, P. Handy and T. Greene each work two innings, M. Doughtie the seventh

Josh Herzenberger is putting up some stunning numbers on the mound for Oneonta.
I believe this is complete game #3, he has an ERA of 1.17, along with 3 complete games, while coming back twice on 3 days rest to either relieve or start.

Cortland survives in opener to eke out 7-6 verdict over Mt. St. Vincent. Pair of seven-inning dates booked. Corts up 7-1 through three frames, big blow J. Adornetto's three-run homer to right in four-run second inning. Adornetto finishes with four rbi. MSV Dolphs make it interesting against four CSt relief pitchers. Score three in final at-bat and leave runners aboard, as in three, when T. Nagy gets last out popup. He enters and yields three straight two-out singles. RDragon error -- one of four overall for hosts, prolongs things. Z. Badanes gets the start and goes four innings, 3h, 2r, 1er, 4bb, 5k. M. June 2x3, Z. Graczyk 2x3

Kaplan 2x3, two runs. MSV sole safety J. Labartino's leadoff single in fourth. Spring weather finally arrives at Wallace Field, reports F. Elia! Corts, walking tightrope lately, 17-5. MSV 12-15

Plattsburgh loses to St. Lawrence on Tuesday 10-6. Plattsburgh had a 4-0 lead after 2, but St. Lawrence scored 3 in the 3rd to tighten things up. The Cardinals were still up 4-3  going into the bottom of the 6th when the Saints scored 6 times off 2 Plattsburgh relievers.

Oneonta has now buried themselves for an at-large bid to regionals with a terrible loss to Union yesterday.I think coach Ferchen and the players took Union for granted and it bit them in the butt.O-State did not start most of thier regulars and didnt get much production from the ones that did start.When starters were put in only catcher E Wells (AthensPa.) seemed to want the game, as he led off 2 innings by getting on base and was only brought around once to score.O-State now has to look at running the table the rest of season,and or win the SUNYAC Tourney,and with Cortland sure to get an at large bid wether  they win the SUNYAC Tourney or not, O-State is in trouble.

I see a split tomorrow when Plattsburgh hosts Oneonta.  Oneonta seems to take too many games for granted and Plattsburgh seems to know when they have to win one.  Cortland SHOULD sweep both Oswego and lowly Fredonia but I see them dropping one of those...probably to Oswego.  New Paltz should take two from Oswego and Brockport could drop 2 to Plattsburgh.  That being said, Plattsburgh, IMO, has two positions they need to figure out.  First base and DH, where power has been lacking all year, needs to see someone step up and take that spot. Otherwise that trip to Brockport could turn ugly.

Post by: Tarheel0550 on April 13, 2011, 05:14:09 PM
P-State your right on O-State taking teams for granted also Coach leaves pitchers in too long.O-State has a solid bullpen and should use it more.I agree with the O-State P-Burg split but Cortland wont lose to Oswego,unless its at Oswego and that dang wind wont stop blowing off lake.I think Oswego will take atleast one from N-Paltz and same for B-Port and P-Burg.If Oneonta can get into P-Burgs bullpen it could hurt them this weekend.

Post by: Tarheel0550 on April 13, 2011, 06:54:34 PM
P-State I think he is on a VERY short leash and could be playing for his job this year.Its one of those everybody makes mistakes but, he has used up all his favors at O-State.Its really too bad because he is a very good coach and person.As for O-States pitching AJ Bates missed last start with tightness in elbow,diagnosed with mild tendonitis but the only cure is rest so no-one knows if he will pitch this year or not.if not he is done, has one more year of eligibility left but will graduate this year and prob. wont pay for another year of school just to play.

On another note an Umpire this past weekend: I am an Oneonta fan so I'm note biased.
Two good games Saturday played by both teams and classy kids. Some outstanding defense on both sides.
Issue: Home plate ump game one, field ump game two, same ump.
This guy was a character. I heard he was making annoying comments to a few players and was inconstant for both teams. He is an embarrassment to college baseball.
If you think I'm kidding, go watch this guy.
Sorry about the negative comment but I expect more out of the paid help.

The other ump was fine and professional.

Post by: Tarheel0550 on April 13, 2011, 09:06:42 PM
budhar-Glad you brought that up I felt the same way and the home plate ump on Sunday was very inconsistant,I have always felt if you are going to cash the check you owe it to the players to call a good game.The Sunday plate ump changed the strike zone not just batter to batter but from pitch to pitch.I dont think this cost O State the game but it didnt help.

Not that we're aware. Gotta believe it will be diffiicult to schedule or reschedule at this time, given makeup games that out-of-conference teams have to play in their leagues. Know Cortland and Ithaca had early season date ppd. Would think both would like to get that one in, but just when could be a problem. CSt still has play left with Keystone and Rochester

Plattsburgh lost that first to Brockport, never finished the second, and has to start the third.  Today they play a DH vs. Clarkson at home.

Plattsburgh comes from behind to beat Clarkson 3-2 in game 1.

Cardinals score 5 runs in the bottom of the 3rd inning to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 6-2 lead going into the bottom of the 5th in game 2 as they look to sweep the Golden Knights.

Cardinals won game 2 by a 7-2 final score.

Oneonta just scored in the bottom of the 12th inning to nip Plattsburgh 6-5. Cards, down 5-2 after 4 innings,  score 3 runs in the 6th to tie the game. Lots of zeros until the 12th when the Red Dragons get a 2 out base hit from Kevin Knack with a man on 3rd to win the game.

Plattsburgh 5 runs 9 hits 2 errors

Oneonta  6 runs 11 hits 5 errors

Plattsburgh left the bases loaded multiple times in late innings.  Hitting in clutch situations has hurt the Cards all year and not being able to convert with so many men LOB really hurt.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC

Oneonta    4-11-3
Cortland     6-14-1

Cortland holds off gritting effort from OSt., whose pitcher J. Herzenberg exits after getting one out in the first inning. Departs with injury after issuing a walk. Had allowed Z. Graczyk double (game's only extra base blow) and he scores on J. Adornetto single. Corts go up 5-0 in the second. Graczyk knocks in two and T. Panetta one with singles. Two Oneonta errors contribute. CSt leaves sacks loaded. Third Oneonta pitcher -- C. Andresen, virtually shuts down the hosts over 6.1 innings. Allows seventh inning run when Andornetto has rbi single.

Oneonta gets on the board with three-run sixth. E. Wells has rbi hit as does M. Mascari. OSt strands a pair. Finally kayoes Cortland starter A. Schuldt in the seventh with a run. J. Molloy relieves, strands runner on third. OSt threatens in the ninth against third Cortland reliever, P. Lompado. Error and M. DeCarr two-out single puts tying runners on base. Gets Wells to groundout for save.

Schuldt (5-1) line: 6.0 inn, 9h, 4r, 4er, 2bb, 7k. M. June 4x5, 2r for CSt. A. Smith 4x4; Adornetto 2x4, 2bi; Graczyk 2x4, 2bi. OSt's K. Knack 2x4, 1r; Wells 2x5, 1r, 1bi

Corts score one in the third. M. Wild leadoff double, HBP and M. June SF. Make it 3-0 in the fifth. J. Fredenburg opens with 2bh. Smith nearly escapes but N. Thode and J.

No offense to c-state but if anyone was at the game and they are not homers they have to admit the umping was atroshish.So far the SUNYAC umpires are some of the worst i have seen in college baseball.at one point i heard one of the coaches say "might as well warm up the buses with these two umping"C-State won both no crying here but something has to be done with sub-par umping.

Cortland makes the most of five hits, shades Rochester 4-3 in balmy breezes at CSt. RDragons score twice in the second on one hit, HBP, wild pitch and groundout rbi. UR quickly within 2-1 but Corts immediately respond for 3-1 edge. Both sides score in the fifth. Jackets tighten things in the ninth on three two-out singles (S. Just rbi). CSt brings on sixth hurler -- B. McClain, for final out. S. Hartling starts and works five innings, 8h, 0bb, 1k. Six pitchers walk none, fan six.

NP needs one win over Cortland this weekend to make playoffs. Certainly not out of the question, though Corts with 10 game win skein and clinching of conference tourney homefield for the umpteenth time. J. Brown has certainly rebuilt his RDragon lineup well. This cast knows how to win, close calls and all. And there's been a barrelful of them, for sure. Deep, talented pitching staff backed by strong defense. J. Adornetto indeed a find! But have to be concerned with the offense. A hitting machine this team is not! From afar we would blame the cold weather for some of that, yes?

Hitting is down across the board..new bats?
Cortland has a slightly better record than last year at this time.
More Conference games = more wins...maybe?
Bottom line is wins.  Good hitting, improved pitching depth and improved defense.
Let's see what the rest of the year brings.

Game 3 Brockport and Plattsburgh Game not being finished until Sunday!
Why not tomorrow?
That game should be finished before the Oneonta and Brockport series begins.
Oneonta and Brockport should play 2 on Sunday. They were going to play one on Sunday so why not play two?
Making Plattsburgh hang around until Sunday? What a shame. Sounds fishy to me. These Plattsburgh boys must be angry unless there thinking Brockport will be tired by 3 PM Sunday.
So who makes these decisions? Boy oh boy. Everybody complains about a bad economy. Plattsburgh has to take a trip to Florida by bus but now is forced to spend another night at the hotel? It's only money.
I know, the hotels in Oneonta make the call. Last week of the regular season and three teams battling for two spots and now this. WOW.

I think that Oneonta will fall to Cortland in the championship game.  I don't see Brockport being the same team as in years past in the tournament, and Oneonta seems a little better at this point.  I'd like to see New Paltz do well, and as has been pointed out, their young pitching can probably take a game from someone.

The rise of statistics and sabermetrics has cast a dark shadow that will soon plague the game we love. But a burgeoning light is on its way.  Bury not your face in the numerical analysis, yet instead seek shelter in the refuge provided by the inaugural selections of the SUNYAC All-Name Committee.

Truth be told .........Pburgh wasn't all that good!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.

Also, just took note of Wednesday USA Today lead story taking note of college offensive slowdowns: Trampoline-effect bats gone; homers, too. Surveyed D-1 figures taking a dip with new composition bats coming into play. Of course, quite noticeable at Cortland. As the story pointed out, pitchers no longer fearful of throwing the ball over the plate and having it hit outta sight. Now more then not it finds an outfielder's glove. One thing certainly evident from CSt pitchers this season, paucity of walks. And they certainly were benefactors of good defense.

Hats off to New Paltz, and yes get used to seeing them in the tourney! Only graduating 2 seniors, both of which were not big part of team. D1 transfer, ray courtney making a comeback next year after two arm surgerys, pre surgery was 91-93mph.  If he's healthy and ready to go, him and chismar 1-2 punch will be tough to beat. Number 3 will be just as capable in grann, pinnola, or schmidt.  Good luck to o-state, brockport, nd c-state. Someone give cortland a run for their money!

Excerpted from Marietta news accounts ......

MARIETTA - Marietta College and SUNY Cortland each won a game. But the biggest winner at the Oct. 8 twinbill was the Strecker Cancer Center. "It was really nice to see a good crowd out here," said MC skipper Brian Brewer after the NCAA Division III defending national champion Pioneers split a doubleheader with the Red Dragons of New York State, winning the first game 10-1 but dropping the nightcap 13-10. Most of the players on both sides saw some diamond action as the two head coaches subbed freely.

In the opener, MC broke open a close game with a six-run seventh inning. Righty Brian Gasser, the DIII Pitcher of the Year, started on the hill for the Pioneers and threw three innings. The Etta Express ace was relieved by Logan Lewis and Kyle Lindquist. Marietta's top hitter was third baseman Bryan Gregorich, who was 4-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Second baseman Kirby Becker added three singles, and center fielder Aaron Hopper had a two-basehit.

Bouncing back in the nightcap, Cortland batted around and exploded for six runs in the top of the third inning. Max Rosing, Chris Jackson, Andrew Pezzuto, John Adornetto, and Donny Castaldo each drove in a run. MC got four of the runs back in the bottom half of the frame. All of this occurred with two outs. The Etta Express cut it to 6-5 in the fifth. But the Dragons responded with three runs in the top of the sixth to make it 9-5. In the bottom of the sixth, Marietta tied the game at 9-all. The MC Pioneers then took their first lead 10-9 in the seventh.

Cortland regained the lead in the eighth when it plated four runs. Matt June had one of the big hits, an RBI double. Bryan Mistretta also drove in a run.

"A split's a split, it's never a good thing and certainly not at home," Brewer said. "Having said that, I think we saw some good things. We had some young guys that played really well. I don't think our older guys played that well today. "Said Cortland coach Joe Brown, "It gives you something to improve upon. I certainly knew coming in that we were going to be playing a very good baseball team."

Oneonta Interim Baseball Coach
Ben Grimm named interim baseball coach

1/13/2012 9:55:00 AM
SUNY Oneonta Director of Athletics, Tracey Ranieri, announced that Benjamin Grimm has been named the interim baseball coach effective immediately.  Grimm will assume the duties as head coach for the 2012 season.

Grimm comes to Oneonta after serving most recently as the assistant coach at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y.  His responsibilities were as the primary pitching coach, recruiting coordinator, camps coordinator, strength and conditioning coordinator and fundraising contact.  In his first year as pitching coach with the Continentals, the team's ERA dropped three full runs from the previous season while the squad enjoyed its longest winning streak in over six years.  In addition, he started a Fall Prospects Clinic and Mid-Winter Baseball Clinic.

Grimm is the President and head coach of the Sherrill Silversmiths of the New York Collegiate Baseball League where he has built a professional baseball franchise from the ground up.  He is in charge of all facets of the organization, which operates during the summer months with rosters made up of collegiate baseball players from around the country at all levels.  In 2009, Grimm started a not-for-profit organization, the Sherrill Athletic Club, Inc., which is set up to run the Silversmiths.  In 2009, he led the squad to a winning season, while in 2010, he guided the team to a league runner-up finish while having its first player sign a major league contract with the Atlanta Braves.

From 2007-10, Grimm served as the assistant baseball coach at NCAA Div. II Davis & Elkins College.  During his tenure as the pitching coach, the team increased its win total from nine to 25 and earned a ranking of No. 8 in the 2010 NCBWA Atlantic Region poll.  The pitching staff also improved its ERA by a total of 3.30 runs in the seasons he was there.

Prior to Davis & Elkins, Grimm served as the assistant baseball coach at Cazenovia College for the spring of 2007 working with the pitching staff of the Wildcats.  While there, he coached one All-North East Athletic Conference pitcher.

Collegiately, Grimm played two seasons at Onondaga Community College before finishing his career at Concord University in Athens, WV.  During Grimm's final season at Concord, the Mountain Lions finished 25-23 and made a run to the championship game of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletics Conference.  In 20 appearances, he was 4-3 with 38 strikeouts in 39.2 innings pitched.

In 2004, Grimm received an Associates Degree from Onondaga Community College in Recreation Leadership.  In 2006, he received his Bachelors Degree in Recreation and Tourism from Concord and, in 2010; he completed a Masters Degree in Athletic Coaching Education from West Virginia University.

Oneonta finished last season with an overall record 21-17 while advancing to the second day of the SUNYAC tournament.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on January 17, 2012, 12:43:26 PM

From Oneonta Daily Star .....


ONEONTA _ Rick Ferchen confirmed Friday that he is no longer the baseball coach at Oneonta State, which apparently fired the two-time SUNY Athletic Conference Coach of the Year earlier this month.

"I would never abandon this team or my responsibilities to the college," said Ferchen, who added he has been advised by a union representative not to discuss the specifics of his departure from the college after 16 1/2 years as the Red Dragons head baseball coach. "I did not leave on my own. Again, I would not have abandoned this team at this time of year or my responsibilities to the college."

Oneonta State Director of Communications Hal Legg wrote Friday in an email to The Daily Star that Ferchen "no longer is affiliated with SUNY Oneonta" but did not say whether the college fired the coach who led the Red Dragons baseball team to its first NCAA Division III Tournament appearance in 2010.

"This is a personnel matter, and the college does not comment on those," wrote Legg, who reiterated the college's no-comment policy when reached by telephone Friday afternoon. Legg did say that Jan.  distributed an email to its members from longtime OLL coach Rich Murphy on Thursday evening.

...............

Former assistant coach Tom Marks offered a no comment on Ferchen's exit via telephone Friday but said neither he nor Ferchen's other assistant, Edmeston graduate Mike Lum, were rehired after O-State went 21-17 last spring.

Ferchen went 400-240-4 at O-State, which reached 13 SUNY Athletic Conference tournaments and made 11 appearances in the Eastern College Athletic Conference tournament since he took over for longtime coach Don Axtell in 1996.

"I have nothing bad to say about anybody," said Ferchen, the father of two Oneonta High graduates who added that he and his wife, Mary, will have to leave Oneonta if he is going to continue his career as a baseball coach. "Oneonta State's been good to me and I made a lot of good friends there. I think that's what I'll miss the most."

Ferchen's Red Dragons won at least 30 games three times in the last seven years, including a school-record 32 victories in 2005. They also won 31 games in 2006 and went 31-13 in 2010, when the program qualified for the NCAA D-III Tournament for the first time.

The SUNYAC's Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2006, Ferchen also coached at Division I Valparaiso and Division III Hobart. He is 715-497-17 in 31 seasons as a head baseball coach, which includes a 168-120-5 record at Hobart and a 147-137-8 mark at Valparaiso.

Niagara Falls native Ferchen, 56, graduated from Valparaiso in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in physical education. Although he was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, Ferchen decided to continue his education and earned a master's degree in arts and liberal studies from Valparaiso.

Cortland ready to debut Friday in Virginia vs. Shenandoah. Could catch a weather break. Rain there today but sun expected and 50 degrees. Not far from central NY this winter! Shenandoah also opening in meeting of nationally ranked nines. Another to face RDragons Saturday in Chris Newport. Newports and Shens preseason 1-2 in USA South Conf. And ranked Salisbury hosting Corts on Sunday, though weather could be a factor. Newports already 2-0 vs. Hampden Sydney and Randolph Macon. Salisbury 1-0 after beating Va. Wesleyan yesterday.

RDragons well stocked with returning position players such as 2b M. June (.339), ss J. Adornetto (.369), c T. Panetta (.314) and PJ Rinaldi (.316), 1b N. Thode (35 bi), 3b/ss B. Mistretta (.305), of Z. Graczyk (.362), A. Smith (.311), M. Wild (.293), C. Jackson. Among holdover arms expected ace A. Schuldt (7-1, 67 inn, 2.70 era) along with fellow sr. T. Nagy, sr. lefty P. Lompado (0.75 era), Z. Badanes. B. Hourihan

Cortland falls 4-2 in opener to Shenandoah in Winchester, Va. Matches nationally ranked pair both in initial test of '12.

Cortland        2-9-2
Shenandoah  4-11-1

RDragons strike first in second inning on J. Adornetto 1bh and A. Pezzuto walk with no outs. Bunt winds up being misplayed and run scores. Double play cools CSt heels. Host Hornets post three in the third on five hits -- C. Nelson 2-run single the key blow. Make it 4-1 in the fourth after first two batters retired. Hit and error precede J. Donofrio bi single.

Corts tighten things in the seventh when Adornetto single and Pezzuto double ignite the inning. Along comes Shens ace and preseason All America K. Scallion. Pair of strikeouts precede M. Rosing's bi single. Comebacker ends the frame. Dragons shut down thereafter ......1-2-3 ninth.

Adornetto 2x3 for CSt. Starting pitcher M. Hughes goes 3.2 inn, yielding 8h, 4r, 3er, 1bb, 1k. P. Cappiello goes .2 innings followed by T. Scott 3.2 inn, allowing 1h, 1bb with 5k.
Hornets Donofrio 3x4, Nelson 2x4.

Cortland, which meets Chris Newport today at 1 in Newport News, has had Sunday date at Salisbury canceled by bad weather and instead plays Bridgewater, Va. at 5  today in Hampton, Va. Bridgewater is 2-1, sweeping NC Wesleyan and bowing 2-1 in 11 innings to Ferrum. Bridgies won 26 games and ODAC regular season crown in '11 and favored to repeat with potent arms at the ready. Bridgewater is booked earlier today vs. Apprentice School. Salisbury today has a twinbill at Gallaudet, Md.

Cortland shaded 7-6 at Christopher Newport
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on February 18, 2012, 10:39:20 PM

Cortland falls to 0-3 in 4-1 setback to Bridgewater, Va. in the second game Saturday. Bridgewater stopped Apprentice School 13-1 earlier in the day and overcame a 1-0 CSt lead in the third. Bridgies scored twice in the home half of the third against the RDragons and tacked on single runs in the fourth and sixth innings. A freshman B'water reliever shut down Cortland over the final six innings. Cortland and Bridgewater both slated to play at same Winter Haven, FL area sites in early March, though not against one another

Corts fell 7-6 earlier Saturday at Christopher Newport although again taking the early lead, 1-0 in the second frame on B. Mistretta RBI safety. CN pulled even in the third and went ahead 4-1 in the fifth when M. Shoemaker poked a three-run homer. RDragons converted four hits and four CN errors into a 5-4 lead in the sixth, though a leadoff walk and hit batter both eventually scored for CN in the bottom of the inning. A. Brevetti's single drove in the tying Cortland run in the seventh, only to have CN post the deciding run in its seventh. Another hit batter and walk helped load the bases and CN's final run  came across when Cortland failed to turn a doubleplay. CSt stranded the tying run at second in the ninth.
A. Schuldt drew the Cortland pitching start and worked four innings and into the fifth, with a 6h, 4r, 4er, 3bb, 5k line. Five hurlers followed. A.J. Valentino took the loss. T. Nagy went the final five outs with three Ks. Cortland pitchers received errorless backing. M. June swung a 4x5 bat, one of eight Dragons hitting safely. CN's C. Madden was 3x5 and drove in three runs.

Cortland     6-11-0
C Newport  7- 8-4

Take a look at their start last year.  Cortland will be fine....as usual.  They will benefit from starting earlier than almost every team in the NY region (I don't know of any other NY team that has started?) and they always seek out quality teams to play.

Post by: jdex on February 23, 2012, 09:03:19 PM
Geez, posting at the same time, but, yes, Cortland will be fine. Gotta be disappointed with 0-3 liftoff, but Red Dragons are playing, albeit early, and were competitive against solid opponents who have the luxury of good (better) weather and earlier play. Red Dragon position players in place for the most part, mostly veterans. Arms race always a concern, and pitching has come into play even more because of restrictions to the bats. Run productions down as a result.

0-3 of course is a tough start when you have your sites set so high.  But, same record last year after playing the same 3 teams.  I wouldn't panic yet.

Cortland notches second straight Florida win with 8-2 Sunday beating of Husson, ME. in gusty wind conditions in Auburndale, FL

In Saturday's downing of Penn St.-Altoona it was A. Schuldt tossing six innings of one-hit ball, issuing five walks and fanning nine. R. McAlary threw a perfect seventh and B. McLain worked the final pair with four strikeouts. An 18 hit attack saw J. Adornetto 3x3, 2r, bi, 3bh; N. Thode 1x3, 4bi, 2bh; Zack Graczyk 3x4, 3r, 2bi, hr; B. Barry 2x4, 3r, bi, 2bh; T. Panetta 2x3, 2r, 2 2bh. RDragons scored twice in the first when M. June and Adornetto had run-scoring singles, and four times in the second as Thode's double drove in two. Corts added two runs in the fourth as Graczyk homered, and poured over four scores in the fourth. Altoonas earlier Saturday were drilled 21-4 by St. John Fisher.

Totally agreed with New Paltz their staff is extremely talented, just still need to see the depth around them get better. Granted last year was much improved I'd like to see the consistency  increase and I think I will. A split with Salisbury to open the season will give some confidence to a young team like that. The battle is for # 2 and # 3

Discouraging setback for Cortland, which held an 8-3 lead over Gwynedd-Mercy entering the G-M seventh at-bat. Griffins score three runs. Corts still holds 9-6 edge when G-M steps to the plate in the eighth and posts five runs -- the final pair via B. Hourihan walks. RDragons uses seven pitchers. Starter Z. Badanas goes 4.1 innings (4h, 3r, 2er, 3bb). T. Nagy takes the loss. CSt hurlers walks six and Dragons defense has five errors, though 10 G-W runs earned. Griffs' pitchers walk seven in three hour, 20 minute game.

Z. Graczyk carries big Cortland bat, 2x3 with triple, double, three BIs and three runs. J. Adornetto 2x3, 2bb, bi, r. M. LaTempa scores twice.

Just a fan of the good teams in our region.  For those of you hoopsters who also follow baseball, Cortlands wins over Wittenburg and TCNJ combined with Fisher's win over Aurora gives the region some high profile wins against some perennially powerful programs.  This would be comparable to Oswego or Hobart in hoops beating programs like Amherst, Williams etc... The NY region competes pretty darn tough against some of the the national "power" programs.  I wouldn't put Fredonia in that mix, and Brockport losing both is a bit of a surprise, but it is pretty clear that these two teams are probably the top two in the region for now.

RDragons score in six frames including two in the first, one in the second and four in the eighth. M. LeTempa is 3x4, 3r and two 2bh; J. Andonetto 2x3, 3r; PJ Rinaldi 2x3; M. June 2bi, 3r; M. Wild 2bi. RI College making its season debut. Corts 6-4 ...................indeed 12-0 final

Cortland edged Wheaton with three runs in the bottom of the ninth. RDragons led 1-0 with a score in the fourth but fell behind 2-1 in the eighth and 3-1 in the top of the ninth. CSt winning rally featured three walks and two hit batters to produce a run, then M. June's decisive two-run single over a drawn-in infield. June 2x5, Z. Graczyk 2x4. But it was pitching that drew much Cortland attention. Starter M. Hughes in 7.1 innings gave up 4h, 2bb while fanning 11. B. Hourihan followed with three Ks, T. Nagy adding a pair and being the benefactor of the win. Ranked Wheaton opening its season

I attended brockports game vs fisher yesterday, both of these teams can certainly play in the regionals. Neither team played great defense but showed flashes of some very nice plays. Fishers frontline starting pitching is a little better in my mind but i think brockports depth of their startin pitching may help. Big win for the Golden Eagles to keep them on track for regionals, and as for fisher they just need to run thru that weak conference.

Oneonta showing some spark for a team that lost thier longtime coach.Not missing the 3 players that quit,and the replacements have more than made up for thier loss.Dont see O-State finishing behind B-Port or New Paltz,also dont see them taking 2 out of 3 from C-State.O-State should finish 2nd behind Cortland,this weekends games against Fredonia should shed some light on the SUNYAC ,weather permitting.O-State has some talented young pitchers and SUNYAC player of the year Knack and catcher Wells hitting the ball very well.Watched thier middle infield and was impressed with how cohesive they were on double plays.After Wells showed J Brown last year he could throw out even the speedy M June (twice in one conference game)should be interesting to see how that matchup works out this year.I still feel Cortland has the upperhand with talent ,but it should make for an interesting SUNYAC conference this year.Lets hear from your guys opinions on this.

Post by: Big Louie on March 22, 2012, 08:37:01 PM
Fishers 1-2 is probably better than anyone Brockport has but like you said I think the depth should help Brockport. I'm not so sure fisher is going to roll through a weak conference. Yes Utica isn't very good and stevens has been down in recent years, however early signs say Ithaca looks like the Ithaca of old. Those will not be 6 easy wins by no means and could easily see Ithaca winning that season series. Also beating the same team 6 times will be no easy task.

Oneonta ahead of Brockport and New Paltz just don't see it. I think that's a pretty bold statement for a team that lost so much. I put them in the running with Plattsburgh battling for the 4th spot in the tourney.

I do wish O-State well! The staff and players haven't had an easy time.It's hard to replace a long time coach with out some hiccups along the way.It will be hard for them to get to the tourney this year let alone knocking off N.P. or B-Port.Experienced players are very hard to replace at any level!!

Dont know about the "expierienced" players O-State lost, alot of the errors last year were on 2 of the 3 replaced players.I just feel you cant count them out ,I think they have something to prove this year and that can make for a dangerous opponent if they are taken for granted by teams in conference.Good luck to all the SUNYAC teams!Think it will be a great year for the conference.

Brockport on the verge of knocking off Cortland, the Eagles holding a 7-5 lead entering the CSt ninth thanks to a four-run uprising in the seventh frame. Corts up 5-3 at the time and never trailed until ............a walk and single sent RDragons' starter A. Schuldt to the showers. Four relievers later and Bport turned things around. CSt error and hit batter helped but P. Wilson delivered a two-run single and C. Booth's single drove home the seventh run. Corts filled the bases on three hit batters with one out in the eighth. J. McCarthy came out of the pen to get a popout and comebacker to retire the side.

M. Weakley had a two run homer in the Bport fourth and N. Bunce a two-out home run in the second. Cortland got five runs off Port starter A. Tilley. T. Panetta had an RBI and A. Pezzuto a pair of RBIs. M. June's double plated another.

Plattsburgh State wins the 2nd game against New Paltz as they score 2 runs in the bottom of the 8th to win 3-2 and earn a split in today's double header. Brian Burns gets the win in relief as he came on in the 8th innings and  only gave up 1 hit. He evened his record to 2-2 on the year. Marc Plante went the 1st 7 innings and gave up 2 earned runs on 9 hits. He had 3 strikeouts and gave up 2 walks. Chris Pyz took the loss for New Paltz as he came on in relief of starter James McKenna in the bottom of the 2nd inning. He gave up 2 runs, 1 earned, on 7 hits. He had 3 strikeouts and 1 walk. McKenna was struck in the back of the head in the 1st inning when the catcher attempted to throw a runner out at 2nd base. He finished the inning but was replaced by Pyz to start the 2nd.

Plattsburgh:  3 runs, 8 hits, 2 errors     Cards improve to 11-7 overall 4-2 in conference play

New Paltz: 2 runs, 10 hits, 3 errors       Hawks are 12-8 overall and 1-2 in the conference.


In the first game New Paltz starter Andrew Grann took a no hitter into the bottom of the 7th before giving up back to back singles with 2 outs. He finished with a 2 hitter and struck out 8. Grann upped his record to 4-1 on the year. Tyler Greene nearly matched Grann through the first 6 innings as he scattered 4 hits. He ran into trouble and gave up five hits in the top of the 7th with a bases loaded triple by Jimmy Briggs plating the first 3 New Paltz runs.  2 more runs would score before the inning ended. Greene's record is now 1-1 for the season.

Far from as easy as 14-3 score for Cortland. Five-run eighth and five-run ninth allowed RDragons to pull away. In fact SUNYIT held a 1-0 lead into the CSt fifth when a bases loaded hit batter and M. June's sac fly gave the guests a 2-1 leg up. IT tied it at 2-2 in the fifth on a bases loaded HBP. Z. Graczyk's double chased home two Cortland runs in the sixth for a 4-3 edge but Uticans within 4-3 in their seventh on Evans' RBI single. Corts eighth featured J. Quinn's two-run single, M. Wild's RBI single an J. Adornetto's two-run double. CSt caps the three hour contest in the ninth with three hits in addition to a pair of IT errors.
Corts deploy 23 players including six pitchers. Graczyk 2x3, 3r, 2bi, 3bb; Quinn 2x5, 2r, 2bi; Adornetto 1x4, 2bi, 2bh. Dragons with five doubles and 10 walks. Starting pitcher J. Molloy goes 4.2 innings. Third hurler P. Lompado gets the win in 1.2 innings. Cortland pitchers fan nine. IT's J. Sass 2x4, 1r. IT uses six pitchers. Starter J. Albright has three hitless, scoreless innings with four walks. M. Rose takes the loss in a 2.0 inning stint in which he yields 3h, 2r, 2er, 2bb.
Cortland 14-5 and at 9-3 Ithaca on Wednesday. IT 1-15

The teams will look for an open Sunday to reschedule these two games. It should be a conference rule to tarp its crazy to lose games due to a bad decision.

Congrats to A. Schuldt for his conference POW award.  It was going to be interesting to see who got it between him and P-State's Tyler Greene.

On Friday Schuldt went 7 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks, 14 K's and 0 ER against P-State.

On Saturday Greene went 7 innings, 6 hits, 0 walks, 6 K's and 0 ER against Cortland.

Same innings, similar WHIP's for both, the strikeouts give the advantage to Schuldt.  Which is more impressive, shutting out Cortland's lineup or shutting out the Cardinals lineup (which everyone has been shutting down lately)?

Fisher 4, Cortland 3 ...........interesting to say the least .....

SJF scores two in the second off A. Schuldt, and adds another off him in the fifth for 3-0 lead. Corts make it 3-1 in the seventh, 3-2 in the top of the eighth before SJF gets decisive score in its eighth on infield single, bunt, wild pitch and two out misplayed swinging third strike on which catcher errs .....run scores ....4-2. T. Sylvester relieves J. D'Amato (8 inn, 5h, 4bb, 8k) in the ninth and loads the bases on three hits and one out. Records strikeout, then walks home third run. Game ends on fly to center. Schuldt works six frames for CSt.

Tyler Greene shutting out Cortland's high powered lineup should have won POW award. Red Dragons average over 8 runs per game and hadn't been shut out all year. There's a good chance they won't get shut out again ths year. Greene's performance was considerably harder to pull off than Aaron Schuldt shutting out Plattsburgh's offensively challenged lineup. Card's only averaging 2.1 runs per game since returning from Florida.

SUNYAC missed the boat on POW selection this time. :P

Big weekend for Oneonta and New Paltz.  After almost stupidly ruining their own field, New Paltz looks to make a jump in the standings.  Many were doubtful of Oneonta pre-season with all the off-season drama but they look good to this point.  Should be a great series. 

Btw, whats up in Cortland land? They don't seem as polished as usual. Same can be said for the guys from Brockport.  Is plattsburgh really that good? Don't think so. Next 3 weeks should be fun to watch!

Nothing wrong with Cortland that a bit of clutch hitting wouldn't cure. Just don't get the big hit to back up a darn good pitching staff. And the defense,  which generally has been okay, simply didn't get it done at Fisher. All four SJF runs unearned  ...........RDragons left 11 on base.

Never one to doubt Cortland, was just curious as to why they're not 26-0 at this point.  Days like today proves how good they really are.  But now Oswego over Brockport? Still have questions about Brockport.  New Paltz couldn't beat Yeshiva today if they had to. 5 recorded errors, 2 or 3 other questionable plays. Scored 5 of their 7 runs in 9th off very weak bullpen. Tyson pitched better than numbers show. 8inn 10h 3r 3er 0bb 1k .. Tomorrow should be fun with Chismar on the mound for New Paltz.  Just another day in the SUNYAC ..

Great weekend for O-State came in and played very well against a pesky N-Paltz.Too bad the sweep was shut down by the home plate ump in the 7th inn of todays second game,I have NEVER seen an umpire so blatently screw a team as this guy did.If the SUNYAC doesnt step in and somehow remove this so called ump from doing games I feel sorry for any team that has this jerk behind the plate.I take nothing away from the New Paltz players or coaches ,but this ump was almost arrogant in the way he screwed O-State out of the sweep.Disgruntled? you bet I am, this was to the point of down right cheating.Good luck too any team that has to play with this JACK-ASS on the field.

Heard about this although I did not witness it. Guess the ump had a questionable strike zone which allowed a few walks in the bottom of the 7th which led to a walk off grand salami.

Oneonta looks like it has answered some early questions, Cortland will be in. Brockport wins two important games.  It is going to be a great race from a crowded field to get those last 2-3 conference playoff spots.

Questionable strike calling would be an understatement CSTATE lol,its really too bad the SUNYAC doesnt send reps out to watch some of these games more often,I feel it would improve the umping,which in watching the umping from a few different conferences the past several years the SUNYAC umps are definitly sub par compared to other conferences.For a conference that sports some of the most competitive teams top to bottom its a shame they have to put up with inferior umps that I wouldnt hire to ump a little league game.Now that i'm done with my rant----The SUNYAC is shaping up to come down to the wire on who's in and who.s out,have not seen a dominant team show thier hand yet.C-State showing why they are the class of the field,but also very beatable.Not the usual J Brown team this year,Have not seen B-Port play this year ,but looking forward to it.As for the rest of the field its up in the air,O-State shows some glimpses of what they can be,and P-Burg cant put it all together to shut the door on opponents.

Post by: cope_str8 on April 08, 2012, 12:12:39 PM
Have to agree with Tarheel on this one.  Umpire blew the game for O-State.  Though it seemed NP had the heart to win that game, they would have came up just short if umpire had kept his eyes open.  But unfortunatly we all forget that awful umpiring is apart of the game and thats why we love it.  New Paltz just can't hit in the clutch or play defense, its pathetic when you look at the numbers.  15 hits and 2 runs in a 4-2 loss in game 2.  Can't even do that in a video game.  Not to mention 10 errors in the series.  Hats off to Oneonta, I think they've answered all pre-season questions.  Great defensive team and they play with a lot of heart.  Came back to beat Chismar on a day where he had everything working for him.  New Paltz and Brockport continue to under-achieve to this point, but both teams are fully capable of making a run.  The SUNYAC is truely one of the most entertaining conferences to follow.

Thanks for the support on this one Cope_str8 I wish I could give you some kharma on this one.You were also right on Chismar,threw hard and fast first 5 inns then started changing speeds and mixing in nice breaking stuff,threw too well to take a loss.Also noticed N-Paltz coach wanted to win that one more than he let on, rumor was Chis was on an 80 pitch count,ended up close too or a little over 130.This could bite N-P later on if Chismars arm continues to be sore.

jdex,
Wrong info on the Plattsburgh -Brockport 2nd game. I saw that 5-4 score on the Plattsburgh website and knew it was some kind of a mistake because earlier the livestats had Brockport winning 6-5 going into the 5th. I left work and went up to watch the final 5 innings and the Cardinals after falling behind 7-6 in the top of the 7th had their biggest inning in a long time off of Brockport reliever Rob Stankiewicz as they scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 7th to go on top 11-7. They hung on for an 11-9 win as Cardinal reliever Marc Plante came in and shut the door, after Brockport scored two in the top of the 8th and had men on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Plante got an inning ending double play grounder to short and then retired the side in order in the top of the 9th to allow the Cardinals to win the finale against Brockport. Big hits for the Cards in the 7th were a 2 run triple by Mike Varques to put the Cards in front to stay and a 2 run double by Damien Tyler a few batters later to give the Cards the insurance runs they needed. Steven Corea picked up the win in relief of Bobby Piser and Plante got the save. Port's Stankiewicz who was unscored upon in 9 appearances this year took the loss. Cory Booth led Brockport with a 3x5 day and 3 ribbys. Jake Coleman was 3x4 with 2 rbi's. Mike Mulvihill drove in 3 runs for the Cards as did Varques who was 2x4 at the plate. Casey Brighton was 3x4 with 2 rbi's and Tyler ended up 2x3.

Looks like Cortland will be the #1 again. Also looks like Fredonia and New Paltz are out.  That leaves 4 teams for three spots. 9 wins usually gets you in and you have to assume that Brockport gets at least one against Oneonta so they are in.  Leaves Oneonta, Oswego and the Cardinals all fighting for two spots.  Oneonta needs 2 out of 6 to get to the 9 win mark but they have the toughest schedule left still having to play Cortland and Brockport. Oswego has three against bottom feeder Fredonia and a huge series against Plattsburgh.

PREDICTION: Cortland the #1, Brockport the #2, Oneonta the #3 (Tie-Breaker over Plattsburgh) and Plattsburgh the #4.

I dont know about plattsburgh getting the 4, I am leaning towards oswego sneaking in for the first time in years. The oswego plattsburgh series will a very big battle to determine their playoff destiny. I am curious to see if Stevens will continue to throw as well as he has for the lakers thus far. Bardenett seems to have settled in as brockports 1 as of late with some much better numbers than early in the season. Cortlands top 3 heck even 4 arms are going to be tough come tournament time but I expect another good tournament this year. I wouldnt be suprised to see oneonta go 1-5 with the six they have remaining. That may keep them out

1) cortland
2) brockport
3) Oswego
4) Plattsburgh

I do need to see him throw again crimson, Bardenett that is but he's getting the job done still. Their staff still seems to have been okay although not great. I agree with your cortland run down though those 3 will be tough. Will you be at the tournament crimson?

Cortland stops Oneonta 7-1 in first game. R. Angelucci throws complete seven inning one-hit game --- OSt's C. Massaroni's leadoff double in the fifth (scores on wild pitch). Angelucci issues a pair of walks, fans eight. RDragons post three runs in the third -- barely. Open frame with three hits and walk but no runs as two RDragons tossed out stealing. BUT J. Adornetto and B. Barry drive in runs with hits. Corts finish the frame with six hits, leave sacks full. Add a three-run seventh in which Barry, M. Wild and Barkley drive in runs. PJ Rinaldi 3x4, r; A. Pezzuto 2x3, 2r; B. Mistretta 2x4, r; Barry 1x4, 3bi. Ascher the losing pitcher

cstate,
I think you meant both would have 9 wins if Oswego wins all 3 and Oneonta wins 2.

Cards will be rooting for Oswego and Brockport this weekend. The best they can do is gain the 3rd seed, but that would avoid a 1st game matchup with Cortland.

Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: magicman on May 04, 2012, 06:17:36 PM
Brockport scores in the bottom of the 9th to edge Oneonta 4-3. Red Dragons had tied up the game at 3 in the top of the 9th only to lose in the bottom half of the inning on a walk off single to right center by Nick Bunce. That scored K. Tracy who led off the inning with a base hit. There was 1 out when the winning run scored (sacrifice bunt by M. Weakley that got Tracy to 3rd and C. Booth, who was intentionally walked after Tracey's single, to 2nd). Justin McCarthy was credited with the win as he relieved James Bardenett in the top of the 9th and got the last 2 outs.

Cortland's R. Angelucci tosses a beauty in RDragons' 5-2 stopping of Brockport. Goes the distance in four-hitter -- three in the final inning, walks one, fans seven and hits one. Outduels T. Tilley who also works the distance and yields three earned runs. Tilley had bettered CSt early in the season. Corts score in the first on M. June double, A. Pezzuto single and wild pitch; in the third on Pezzuto walk and error; in the fourth on M. LaTempa leadoff single and M. Rosing's RBI single; two in the seventh on P.J. Rinaldi leadd double, Z. Graczyk SF and June RBI single. June 2x4, r, bi, 2bh; Rinaldi 2x4, r, 2bh. Bport gets first hit when M. Weakley leads off the fifth with base hit to left; moves to second on balk -- only Eagle getting that far till the ninth. Angelucci 10-1

Brockport     2-4-4
Cortland       5-7-1

Oneonta up 2-0 on Plattsburgh which narrows it to 2-1 in the seventh. OSt insurance in the eighth when a run scores on passed ball and two more on R. Peluso's double to left-center. Peluso 3x4, 3bi. S. Ascher goes 6.2 innings for the W. T. Greene takes the setback in 7.1 innings.

Plattsburgh   1-7-0

Brockport earns Sunday title shot against Cortland by overcoming Oneonta 8-5 with a seven-run fifth inning. Trailing 3-1,  Bport puts two on with two out before six straight Eagles hit safely in the deciding inning. M. Weakley's single drives in the tying run and N. Bunce follows with the go-ahead RBI single. M. Gianni soon clears packed bases with a double. Eight hits in the frame, all off OSt starter A. Mastrianni who gives way to a reliever for the final out. Bport's C. Booth winds up 3x4, r, bi; J. Coleman 2x3, 2r; Gianni 1x4, 3bi. M. Ciccotti winning pitcher in 5.2 innings. J. Williamson and J. McCarthy hold off Oneonta in relief. O's C. Hitt, R. Peluso, C. MacDowell with two hits apiece. Bport vs. Cortland at noon  .....3:30 if needed.

Quite the turnaround at Cortland where RDragons win conference crown with 4-3 comeback win over Brockport. CSt strikes for four runs in the bottom  of the eighth. B. Barry's third hit of the game doubles home tying and winning runs with two outs. Bport threatens in the ninth on two hits but strands runners at first and third when reliever T. Nagy gets M. Weakley to rollout to M. June at 2b. Corts spoil terrific start by Bport's T. Renwick who goes 7.2 innings. Yields just two hits till the eighth.

A very exciting game. Very reminiscent of both last year's tourney, when Brockport won first game Sunday and lost tight second game, and 2004 tourney, when Brockport shut out Cortland twice Sunday to win. There have been some great Sunday SUNYAC games between the schools.

jdex,

Am I correct in believing that these teams are selected/voted on based on SUNYAC play only, or is it the entire season?

It looks like a solid list, plenty of Cortland players although there are some real head scratchers in there.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on May 11, 2012, 04:59:21 PM

Conference coaches make the selections ...........we presume using overall statistics. Those are the stats listed on the SUNYAC site. No breakdown between conference and overall figures. But we would figure coaches would take notice of stats compiled in games they play against conference opponents. Would certainly carry weight as well.

Am sure friend F. Elia can chime in
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: FranElia on May 12, 2012, 12:03:17 AM
Not 100 percent sure, to be honest, but I think the coaches are looking at a combination of overall stats and conference-only stats and using their best judgment accordingly. For example, Adornetto hit .421 in 18 league games and .373 overall. Angelucci was 5-0 with a 0.55 ERA in league play and 10-1 with a 1.19 ERA overall. While the overall numbers in both cases are very good, the league-only numbers are even better and may have helped influence their selections as top player and pitcher.

All the Cortland contest highlights on the D3baseball cover page, including a closing note that RDragons' Saturday foe, Wheaton of Mass., and CSt clashed in early March in Florida. Twas Wheaton's season opener while Corts were closing out 7-1 F.L.A. trip.

In February, CSt. in an 0-3 season start dropped a 7-6 issue to Chris Newport, another WS participant currently in an 11-4 opening hole vs. St. Thom. And last October saw the Dragons split a pair of benefit exhibitions at perhaps WS favored Marietta.

Today's victory was Joe Brown's club's 40th

Cortland's run comes to an end as they drop an elimination game to St. Thomas 7-6. Red Dragons down by 3 runs entering the 9th, put runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. J. Adornetto singles through the right side to score 1 run and leave runners on the corners. Next Cortland batter hits into a 6-4-3 double play scoring the runner from 3rd, but next batter strikes out to end the game and send the Red Dragons home. Still was a heck of a year for Cortland as they finish with a 41-9-1 record and come in 4th in the country. Congratulations to all the Red Dragon players and coaches. They once again made the SUNYAC stand out.

Both the NCAA and the SUNYAC have the Oneonta State head coaching job open. One would imagine that the school now will conduct a traditional search.

Which one?

The one where the Athletic Director unwarrantedly fired the head coach of 16 seasons and hired an interim coach to lead them to their first losing season in almost two decades.

As an alumni, I hope that a decision can be made that is both logical and beneficial for the future of the program. The events that occurred during the past school year are extremely disappointing and lacking of explanation.

Stony Brook's shocking climb to the D-1 World Series is led by Cortland State '80 alum Matt Senk :). A Psych major at C-St, Senk was the Red Dragon's starting catcher for three seasons, a two-time All-SUNYAC selection and the team's Most Valuable Player as a senior. Senk later earned his master's degree in physical education from Adelphi. He took over the program at the D-3 level, moved to II in '95 and I in '00. Seawolves are 51-13 and coming off nifty sinking of host LSU in Super Regionals where SB outhit Tigers 35-15 in three game series and trailed only once -- on 12th inning walk-off HR in opening tilt. Senk in his 22nd season.

The Sporting News:
People would remember Stony Brook, if for no other reason than the name. It sounds like either a cemetery or Tiger Woods' old rehab center.

Said traditional search simply has led to the school removing the interim tag from the current head coach Ben Grimm. Hard to judge him based on one season though one would suspect they'd have wanted someone with a little more head coaching experience.

Red Dragons host defending champs

All for a good cause, two of the top Division III baseball programs in the country will be meeting Sunday at SUNY Cortland's Wallace Field.
Two-time defending champion Marietta College out of Ohio will be in town to take on the Coach Joe Brown's vaunted Red Dragons in two exhibition games that will also raise money for the local United Way for Cortland County fund drive.
Last fall, Cortland traveled to Marietta for a doubleheader that raised money for the Strecker Cancer Center at Marietta Memorial Hospital. The "Etta Express" agreed to return the favor and travel to Cortland this autumn and will play the Red Dragons in a pair of nine-inning games beginning at 11 a.m.

Cortland cupboard far from bare a week from season opener at Salisbury for twinbill and a Sunday single game. Captains lead the way -- sr shortstop switch-hitting J. Adornetto, sr third baseman B. Mistretta, senior outfielder Z. Graczyk (two time capt) and jr first baseman M. Rosing. All were on '12 honor rolls for the World Series fourth place RDragons.

All-star jr catcher T. Panetta returns along with jr. switch hitting OF C. Jackson, sr OF B. Barry, jr IF J. Quinn -- all .300 plus hitters, and jr catcher B. Marotta, jr C/OF PJ Rinaldi, sr P/1B K. Barkley

Lost a pair of stud hurlers in R. Angelucci and A. Schuldt (a combined 20-3 and 174 innings in '12). Returns the likes of sr righties M. Hughes (9-2, 2.76 era, 78 inn), Z. Badanes and T. Scott, and sr lefty J. Molloy, jr lefty S. Komanecky and soph southpaw B. McLain and soph R. McAlary.

Interesting mound returnee is sr lefty G. Jweid. Sound familiar? Posted a 15-1 record with 127 Ks in 116 inn. over the 2007 and '08 seasons. Obviously all-star numbers. Injury cut short his play after that. He last appeared  in a 16 inning '09 spring.

Corts also need to plug holes left by regulars M. June (a capt.), M. LaTempa, M. Wild in addition to  A. Brevetti, capt. R. Andrews (whose fr brother Keith joins the team) and pitchers T. Nagy, capt. and key reliever B. Hourihan, and lefty P. Lompardo. Also absent from the roster are versatile A. Smith and OF/key hitter A. Pezzuto -- both underclassmen a year ago. Current roster lists a new senior and six new juniors -- four of them pitchers (transfers?), and 12 frosh.

Looking at rosters so far Brockport seems to return a majority of offense and their ace pitcher. Cortland still holds control of the conference. I'm interesred to see if Oswegos progress will continue, also curious to see how New Paltz responds after a down year.

Just to add a bit on aforementioned Cortland personnel ........

Depth has certainly come from elsewhere. Newcomers include a pair of former Oneonta performers from two years ago -- infielder M. DeCarr and catcher B. Marotta. Neither apparently played (at least at Oneonta) last spring but in '11 hit around .300 in 38 games apiece. Catcher R. Keppler saw limited duty at Albany last season. Junior infielder A. Iacomini was at (in) South Carolina previously. Pitching transfers are ex-Hofstra enrollee M. Holling, Monroe CC closer C. Petre and ex-Erie CC player B. Nemeti.  And J.

Cortland splits in debut at Salisbury, Md, winning 4-3 before  going down by the same score in a nine-inning nightcap, a scheduled seven inning affair.
Corts win with three-run eighth to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Decisive inning starts with J. Adornotto's fourth hit of the game, a single to right. M. Rosing was hit by pitch preceding a sac bunt. B. Barry's infield single scores Adornotto. T. Panetta's single to center chases home the tying run. After a groundout for the second out, B. Mistretta is hit by a pitch. A passed ball produces the winning run.
Adornotto 4x4 with a double. Barry 2x5, bi; Rosing bi; Panetta 2x3 bi. Corts knock out 10 safeties while four pitchers limit Salisbury to four. J. Molloy starts and works three innings, allows three hits and single runs in the first and second frames. He walks one, fans two. B. Serio hurls two hitless innings, gives up a sixth frame run, walks one, strikes out one. T. Scott pitches one inning and K. Barkley gets the win with three good innings including a 1-2-3 ninth. Allows a hit, walks one, fans one.

Dragons see Salsbury rally in the second contest. Cortland takes a 1-0 lead in the first on errors and groundout rbi. Margin grows to 2-0 in the fourth as dh and Oneonta transfer B. Marotta drives in R. Keppler with a single to left. Salisbury roughs up CSt relievers in the sixth to knock out five hits and take a 3-2 lead. Cortland loads the base with no outs in the top of the seventh but score only a doubleplay grounder. Diving tird out catch by Seagull second baseman J. Schiotis prevents go-head run from scoring. Salisbury wins in ninth. One out walk, error on a sac bunt and B. Sanzone's rbi single ended matters.
Adornotto 2x4, bb; P. J. Rinaldi 2x4, bb. As scheduled, Corts use plenty of pitchers. Six take the slab in the second game. Starter M. Hughes in 3.2 innings permits one hit with a walk and 5 Ks. B. McClain and G. Jweid follow effectively, but S. Kimmelman and R. McAlary have problems. Lefty C. Petre tosses final 2.2 innings, gives two his, a walk and deciding run. 

Cortland        001 000 030 -- 4-10-1
Salisbury       110 001 000 -- 3- 4-0

Cortland        100 100 100 -- 3-7-2
Salisbury       000 003 001 -- 4-9-3

Oneonta (1-5) splits with St. Mary's (Md), losing 2-1 before a 1-0 victory. Some standout RDragon pitching in what appears seven inning games. Soph A. Mastrianni takes 1-0 lead into the sixth in the opener but allows the two runs. OSt scores in the third inning when C. Orlando's single plates the run. Soph M. Mastroianni's two hits include a double. The second game features soph S. Ascher's five-hit, seven strikeout performance through 6.1 innings. Sr J. Hegmann records the save. Orlando's sixth inning sac fly chases home the only run. Oneonta meets Frostburg on Sunday in Emmitsburg, Md.

Yup, a Mastrianni, and a Mastroianni, and Orlando, and on we go, paisans! C. Romano, R. Peluso, M. Salvatore, LJ Gizzarelli, S. Provenzano ......... all Red Dragons. Do we see The Godfather lurking?

Corts adds two runs in the inning on four singles and a walk. RPI (2-2) scores a run in the ninth. Engineers had built 3-0 lead entering the Corts fourth. M. Rosing and A. Iacomini rap rbi doubles slicing the deficit to 3-2. RPI makes it 4-2 in the top of the sixth but RDragons respond with a tying two-run bottom of the inning

Oneonta falls 26-6 at Frostburg, Md

Plattsburgh tamed twice at Farmingdale, LI, 9-4 and 1-0. K. Kelly hurls six strong innings of the nightcap in which Farmingdale pushed over the game's only run in the eighth. Hosts had eight runs in the first two frames of the first game. Burghers making season start

Cortland drops its second game of the season on Tuesday evening when Spalding, KY takes a 5-4 decisision in Leesburg, FL. Spalding is 9-1, the RDragons 8-2.

Corts falls as K. Gorence strokes a game-winning two-out rbi single to center in the ninth inning. In its first season playing in NCAA Division 3, Spalding scores twice in the eighth and ninth innings to wipe out a 4-1 Cortland lead. The Golden Eagles use a walk, sac bunt and K. Whitlock's two-out single to tie the score in their final raps. An intentional walk precedes the Gorence two-out first-pitch game-deciding blow.
RDragons scores in the first on J. Adornetto's rbi single to center. Spalding ties it in the first before Cortland's two-run second ignited by C. Jackson's leadoff double. He scores on M.

Cortland edges Franklin & Marshall 9-8 in Auburndale, FL to hike its record to 9-2. F&M is 3-6.

Z. Graczyk goes 3x4, 2 2bh, 3bi, 3r and  M. Rosing finishes 2x3, 2bh, w, 4bi while B. Barry has a 2x4, hr, bb, 2b day for the RDragons, who use seven pitchers.   
 
Cortland takes the lead for good at 6-4 with four runs in the third. J. Quinn singles and scores on Graczyk's rbi double. The latter later crosses the pate on a Rosing sac fly to knot the game. Barry follows with a two-run homer to right. The lead grows to 9-5 in the top of the sixth. F&M Diplomats close to 9-7 in the bottom of the sixth before S. Kimmelman comes on in relief and records a strikeout, groundout and flyout with two runners aboard to prevent further harm. F&M loads the bases with no out in the seventh but reliever C. Petre induces a doubleplay and flyout to preserve a one-run lead. He retires the side in order in the eighth and ninth to earn the save.  Z. Badanes was awarded the victory.

Cortland has three games remaining on its Florida trip - contests Friday in Auburndale versus Western New England and Rowan, and another game against Rowan Saturday in Leesburg,
Rosing was recently named SUNYAC player of the week and to the D3.com national team of the week

Cortland will undoubtedly lose their #1 ranking when this week's new poll comes out. The Red Dragons have gone 3-3 since the last poll which saw them move into the top spot. It will be interesting to see how far they tumble. I think they will remain in the top 10 and hopefully can work their way back up the ladder.
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on March 18, 2013, 12:36:08 PM

Certainly would not think Cortland tumbles from top 10 if pollsters are paying attention. But don't believe Joe Brown would be disappointed this early where ever he lands. He'll gladly take 10-4. Those four losses come to good teams as he prepares a very deep lineup. Uses many position players extensively, and five and six pitchers in nearly every game. Close losses have been to Salisbury (a split vs. 13-2 Gulls ranked No. 6 in week 3); up and coming 11-2 first season NCAA Spalding (KY); 15th ranked 5-2 Western New England (which plays Rowan today and ranked Ramapo Wed); and 8-2 Rowan (a split and leaving bases loaded in the ninth of a 5-4 Sat. fall).

If anything a clutch hit here or there could have helped, and the defense of late a bit shaky following a strong start ..............Just an opinion from afar ...

Look for Webster (MO) to make a top 25 appearance this week. Starting the season slowly including a 10-3 slip to Cortland, including recent wins over No. 2 Marietta and No. 25 Augustana to run winning streak to four.

Fredonia shades Brockport 4-3, scoring twice in the bottom of the eighth. Down 3-2, Blue Devil M. Casilio drives in tying run with a single and J. Bennett walks with the bags crammed for the lead. Freds 10-4, Port 10-9

Oswego holds off Cortland for 5-4 victory in 11 innings. Wild one at CSt's Wallace Field. Scoreless through eight innings as pitchers A. Bishop of OSt and B. McClain of CSt absolutely shine! Each side scores three in the ninth. RDragons leave 'em loaded in the 10th. Oswego takes charge in the 11th on M. McMullen infield single and A. Jurczynski walk to lead off. T. Scott relieves for CSt and tosses away T. Smith's sac bunt. Two score. Cortland gets one back in its 11th via error, A. Iacomini's single to right-center and T. Panetta's infield rbi single.  No outs ........... Pinch runner tossed out between second and third as apparent bunt call never develops. Game ends on strikeout/throw out at second on steal attempt.
Oswego sitting pretty in its ninth when M. McMullen and A. Jurezynski knock out one-out singles. McMullen takes third on flyout and B. Hamilton delivers rbi single to center off CSt reliever C. Petre for 1-0 lead. A. Lazzaro raps triple to right to score two for 3-0 advantage. Cortland rallies in the ninth. B. Barry -- with the only two hits heretofore vs. Bishop, draws one out walk. J. Adornetto singles to right. OSt brings P. Brown from the pen and he hits PJ Rinaldi to load the bases. M. Rosing sends fly that's snagged in right-center. TWO runners score on sac fly. Tying run takes second and scores when pinch-hitting C. Jackson's chopper in front of the plate is thrown away at first when the toss hits Jackson.
Eruptions mar exceptional pitching performances by Oswego lefty Bishop (8.1 inn, 3h, 2bb, 4K) and RDragon B. McClain (8.2 inn, 6h, 2bb, 5K). Bishop retires 14 straight and McClain 17 in a row till ninth inning undoings.
McMullen 4x5, 2r and nifty shortstop play for Lakers. B. Barry 2x3, 1r, 2bb for CSt
Oswego 10-6 overall, 3-1 Yac. Cortland 17-5, 6-1. Corts host Brockport Friday and Saturday. And recent weather ppds rescheduled: Ithaca comes to Cortland next Tuesday, and Cortland at Rochester on Wednesday (CSt. slated home date that day vs. Mt. St. Vincent cancelled)

There goes that #1 ranking as well. Seems like the Red Dragons, like so many of the men's hoop teams this year, stumble as soon as they get that #1 tag. That's the 2nd time it's happened to the Cortland baseball team this spring. :o

Brockport outlasts Cortland 10-8 in 11 innings in second game of doubleheader after Corts claim 7-4 opener.
Port in the nightcap is down 6-4 entering the top of the ninth, posts three runs for 7-6 lead, but sees hosts pull even in their ninth. Each side has a run in the 10th and Brockport wins it with two runs in the top of the 11th when M. Gianni is hit by a pitch to start things. CSt ace M. Hughes, who didn't last the first inning of the opener, relieves. Sac bunt gets Gianni to second and a groundout to third. J. Coleman beats out a hit to third base to score Gianni. K. Tracy and P. Wilson follow with hits for the 10th run. Cortland out 1-2-3 in the 11th.
Brockport's ninth inning rally features pinch-hitter B. Westling's two-run single, sac bunt and M.Gianni's base hit to center for the go-ahead tally. Interestingly, Corts decides to intentionally walk N. Bunce with one out. Passed ball puts runners in scoring position for Westling's key blow. Cortland's T. Panetta clutch two-out single in the bottom of the ninth, with CSt leaving bases crammed, sends things to OT.
Brockport takes 8-7 lead in the 10th on bases loaded hit batter after Cortland once again elected to give an intentional walk -- this time to P. Wilson. A walk followed to fill the bags and S. Kimmelman beans J. Boronczyk on 1-2 pitch. Groundout leaves bases full. Corts tie 8-8 in the bottom of the 10th. Z. Graczyk leads off with single to right-center, is bunted to second. B. Marotta unloads rbi single to center.
Total of 48 players and 33 hits K. Tracy and J. Coleman with three each, C. Grande, S. Peake (HR) two each for Port. Corts' M. Rosing, Panetta (HR) with three hits apiece,  Cataldo two with three rbi. J. Adornetto, C. Jackson (HR), PJ Rinaldi with two hits each.
Bport 12-10 overall, 3-7 YAC, Cortland 18-7, 7-3
Brockport    001 300 003 12 -- 10-15-1
Cortland     101 020 101 10 --  8-18-2

Cortland in the first game overcomes three-run -- all on bases loaded walks, first inning deficit. Eagles knock out pitcher M. Hughes in the frame but Z. Badanes throws five good relief innings and S. Kimmelman gets save. Corts score four in the second when J. Adornetto (2x4, 2r) singles home two, groundout produces another run and C. Jackson singles in the fourth. R. Keppler sac fly and B. Mistretta rbi single make it 7-3 in the third. PJ Rinaldi 2x3, 2r for CSt. Port's N. Bunce 3x4, K. Tracy 2x4. J. Coleman mound victim in first 2.2 innings.

UR used 10 pitchers by design, to give guys some work. I wouldn't read too much into the victory. 5 of the pitchers used are Freshmen. Menke & Diller are conference starters. Wednesday is normally their bullpen day so they each threw one inning. Both gave up 0 hits, as did Todd and Warren, two of the freshmen.The surprise was Sullivan, usually the closer and a guy who has been lights out. With respect to position players, 6 of the starters are freshmen, but need to grow up quickly in order to salvage a conference playoff spot, which is more important to the Yellowjackets.

Yes, other than 4 guys, all aspects of the 'Jackets game broke down. The main problem all year has been the hitting, as the freshmen starters adjust to the college game. The Jackets also committed a couple of costly errors, although Cortland did commit 3. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Honest question since I don't know these things off the top of my head and there are a lot of games to look up. Is Cortland's OOC resume that much more impressive than Ithaca's?
Title: Re: BB: SUNYAC
Post by: jdex on April 30, 2013, 03:05:47 PM
Guess here is probably not ......some homework to do, maybe. Cortland just started season near the top of the rankings and hasn't done much to fall precipitously -- though managing in midseason swoon in close games to stay afloat. Ithaca has certainly stated its case all season but wasn't given much respect at the start and flew low on the radar for whatever reason a good deal of the season.

Will be interesting to see next week's rankings. Cortland has upcoming conference tournament at home. Ithaca idle for a while and continued ascension probably depends on what higher ranked programs do.

Tuesday games:

Oswego 15-5, RIT 4-4
Fredonia 17-8, Hilbert 3-4
Brockport 4, Rochester 3
Plattsburgh 8, Canton 0
Keystone 11, Oneonta 2

Cortland less then two weeks from opening season under veteran skipper Joe Brown, with 15 games in mid-Atlantic and the south. Plenty of clashes with respected NCAA tourney tested opposition. RDragons debut Feb. 15 with DH at Mary Washington's Fredericksburg, Va. campus. Hook up with that Capital AC '13 runnerup in single game the following day. Corts on Feb. 22-23 play single games at CAC '13 champ Salisbury in Maryland. On March 1-2 in Newport News, Va. play Montclair and host Chris Newport the first day, and Chris Newport the second. Oneonta at Dixie Conference strongboy Chris Newport on Feb. 21.

Dragons of Cortland make annual Florida pilgrimage to Florida March 9-15 for Russ Matt Invite in central sunshine state. Play St. Louis' Webster Gorlocks March 9 and the next day have dates with RPI and Franklin & Marshall. March 11 finds them vs. Penn St. Abington. Idle on the 12th. Face Wheaton, Mass. on the 13th and NCAA D3 tourney runnerup Southern Maine on the 14th. Wind up vs. Clarkson at Leesburg on the 15th.

In addition to Southern Maine, other '13 nat'l tourney qualifiers on the early C-St slate are Salisbury (33-9), Webster (37-12), RPI (eliminated by Corts in regional), F&M (23-21), and PS Abington (22-22). Chris Newport was ranked throughout '13, went 29-12-1 but missed tourney.

Cortland begins northern season March 19 home vs. Ithaca, which reached '13 World Series. RPI should again be a NY force after going 30-15 with a young squad.

Cortland wins a wild 10-8 verdict over Christopher Newport in Newport News on Sunday. RDragons' fifth win in six starts. Latest issue settled in ninth. Corts, who blew a 7-3 lead a half inning earlier, knotted it at 8-8 on T. Panetta's two-out rbi single to left followed by M. Hollender's game-deciding two-run single to center. Twas Dragons' 13th hit. S. Komanecky pitches a 1-2-3 ninth to close it out.

Longball figured in earlier scoring. Cortland sees 1-0 first inning lead (C. Ziemendorf leadoff HR) vanish when CNU's J. Houston homers with a man aboard. Dragon C. Jackson's pinch-hit three-run sixth inning homer to right provides 4-2 lead. Hosts within 4-3 in their sixth. Cortland appears to put the game away with three-run eighth featuring Panetta's rbi single and V. Bomasuto's two-run triple. Bomasuto then moves from left field to the mound when Dragon reliever Polumbo puts the first three CNU batters aboard in the bottom of the eighth. Houston greets Bomasuto with rbi single. Sac fly makes it 7-5 before CNU leadoff batter T. Vitaletti belts three-run HR to left-center. Cortland rallies for 'W'. Despite pitching woe, Bomasuto gets credit for victory

Cortland starter B. McClain hurls good ball into the fifth with 8Ks, 1BB, 2R

Cortland sees Webster U. of St. Louis score twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth to break 5-5 tie and earn 10-5 decision in both teams' opening Auburndale, FL contest. Winners bang out 14 hits, the vanquished 12. RDragons 5-2, Webster 2-0. Both nationally ranked heading into the sunny, 70 degree outing

Webster Gorloks avenge 10-3 loss here to Corts in '13, one of few setbacks by Missouians enroute to World Series. Today's starting pitcher I. Behme took brunt of Cortland early attack last year but got bit of revenge himself. Still, Dragons had things going their way when C. Ziemendorf and M. Rosing doubles produced 4-2 lead in the fifth. But they unraveled in Webster's sixth. Single off CSt starter B. McClain cut deficit to 4-3 and a reliever's three wild pitches scored two runs. Corts pulled even on run-scoring passed ball in the seventh. Gorloks in their seventh began decisive surge with two outs.

Cortlands use seven pitchers. S Komenecky takes loss. A. Smith, Ziemendorf, V. Bomasuto, M. Hollender, T. Panetta have two hits apiece. B. Buchanan, second of three Webster hurlers, gets win. J. Turner (3bi), R. Hall (2bi) with three hits each.

I was watching the live stats of this game through the first 6 innings at my house. Left home to go do a few errands and go into my store with Cortland up 5-0.  Imagine my surprise when I pulled up the live stats to see that Cortland had won 8-7. I thought i was looking at a mistake at first. Cardinals struggling at the plate for the first 7 innings with just 1 hit finally brought out the lumber in the 8th.

Plattsburgh actually gained the lead at 7-6 with their big 8th inning. As usual the Red Dragons found a way to win, tying the game in the bottom of the 8th and winning it in the bottom of the 9th. One of these days the Cardinals will get lucky.

A disappointed Cortland coach Joe Brown reacts to Wednesday loss to Oswego. Twas first RDragons setback to unranked foe and comes at the hands of Laker skipper Scott Landers, onetime ace CSt pitcher:

"It's beyond comprehension how we were not excited to play on our field on a nice day, because we've played in some tough conditions, and then execute so poorly. Sure you could probably say we've won nine in a row and we've done this
and we've done that, but that's the point. You don't do that. Good teams don't do that, so it's a bad
performance."

The Cortland jinx strikes again. Plattsburgh just can't get a break against the Red Dragons. I'm beginning to think a 10 run lead heading into the bottom of the 9th wouldn't be enough. Coach Doorey must be pulling his hair out over this latest loss.

note to jdex: I'm working on that address you requested for a former Cortland coach. Hope to have it shortly. If not I will see coach K on May 4th at a basketball banquet and get it then. Plus k for all the baseball updates. I go here and check before I hit the YAC website cause you're so good. ;)

Oswego edges visiting Ithaca 4-3. T. Baker rbi fielder's choice in 11th wins it after fielding error puts Laker runner on third with one out. Comebacker to mound fails to nab runner from third. P. Brown gets pitching win, J. Wagner absorbs loss. Oswego escapes second and third runners with no outs in IC 11th. Grounder erases runner at plate and Oswego turns unusual second to third to first doubleplay retiring side.  Oswego runners on first and third, one out in ninth. Attempt double steal and fail. Next batter retired. Lakers, Ithaca each with 12 hits. Wagner relieves with two on, two out in eighth. Gets next batter. OSt faces  Ithaca ace starter J. Prendergas. B. Diorio takes over for Prendergast starting fifth. Lakers send top hurler B. Karinchak to hill. T. Smith swipes home in double steal in Oswego fourth. C. Gee, C Belyea, T. Henry rbi for IC. Oswego's Karinchak relieved in eighth by Brown

Brockport tripped 9-2 at Fisher

Plattsburgh loses 11-7 at home to St. Lawrence

New Paltz at Farmingdale, canceled
Fredonia host to Allegheny, ppd.

Don't know if Prendergast was penciled in to face Cortland on Tuesday before rain made IC's Freeman sod unplayable. Doubt it. Don't believe Joe Brown would have M. Palumbo, B. Serio or B. McClain -- his three frontliners -- in action. All worked last Friday/Saturday as did Prendergast. IC mound corps might be deeper than CSt's, or at least that's the way it appears to have played out this season. RDragons shaky when reaching in the 'pen. Also think Cortland with more offense than Bombers. May not get together now till NY Regional ...... speaking of which ..........Fran, where might that site be now that Auburn's apparently out of the picture. Gotta believe something's already set.

Cortland vs. Fredonia switch DH to today,  single game Saturday at CSt. Weather perhaps moving in Saturday

Conference regular season draws to close this weekend. Cortland (13-2) has already again wrapped up first place and tourney hosts' role May 2-4. Rest of tourney field of four still unset though current runnerup Oswego (9-6) with homestanding Friday/Saturday three-game series vs. Plattsburgh (5-10) seems a lock.
Brockport (8-7) at present is third with key Fri/Sat home three-gamer vs. current fourth place Oneonta (6-7). Vitally interested in that series is fifth place New Paltz (6-10) which has doubleheader Sunday at Oneonta.
Even current cellar dwellers Plattsburgh and Fredonia (5-10) with playoff breath, though slight. Fredonia finishes with
Fri/Sat three-game set at Cortland.

New Paltz also home in Saturday DH vs. Ithaca

Plattsburgh State's JD Jenkins has a no hitter going through 6 innings against Oswego in game 2 of their double-header. Cardinals can't score any runs either as it's 0-0 going into the top of the 7th. Jenkins just got out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 6th when he issued a 2 out walk, then hit a batter and issued another walk. Got the Laker's 3 hole hitter to pop up to end the threat.

Jenkins pitches a no hitter for 7 innings and if the Cardinal bats had scored just a single run he would have had the 1st no hitter in Plattsburgh State history. The Lakers get their first hit in the bottom of the 8th inning and that runner was erased on a double play. The Lakers finally score a run in the bottom of the 9th when Dan Saccicio was hit by a pitch, stole 2nd and went to 3rd when the next batter had a bunt single. Jenkins struck out the next batter and then intentionally walked clean-up hitter, Tim Smith to load the bases. Kyle Liner then singled to drive in the winning run. The 1-0 loss cost the Cardinals a chance at making the playoffs. Had they won that game and if New Paltz and Oneonta spit their Sunday doubleheader then the Cards would have grabbed the 4th seed.

Tough loss for the Cardinals and JD Jenkins but that was the story of the Cardinals for the entire season. Too many late inning tough losses that produced one heartbreaker after another.

Cortland shut down 3-1 by Fredonia senior S. Larson in Devils' final game. Badly bruised in Friday's DH, Freds with 13 hits and M. Prentice's two-out two-rbi single in seventh. Breaks 1-1 deadlock. Larson shines with six-hitter, 1bb, 6k in route-going performance. Matches CSt's B. Serio (6.1inn, 1r, 8h, 1bb, 4k) who registers first out in seventh, then yanked. Two relievers falter -- major season-long concern. Devils with four hits to score one in the first. RDragons score in second. Prentice 3x4, 2bi; K. Koslwski 2x4, r; R. Mendiola 1x3, 2r; B. Frantz 2x4, bi. Cortland's M. Rosing 2x3. S. Komanecky absorbs pitching loss. Devils end six-game CSt win streak

Plattsburgh posts three in the 10th and Y. Osawa sets Oswego down 1-2-3 for 9-6 win in Oswego.  Bases full walks to pinch-hitter M. Varques and Osawa give Cards the lead. Error gets ninth run. Both sides resilient. Oswego in ninth with two-outs and no one aboard ......eventually scores on wild pitch for 6-6 tie. Walk starts it and J. Curry delivers single. Plattsburgh scores four in top of ninth to take 6-5 lead. L. Weaver triples for two runs with two outs against just-inserted reliever who notches inning-ending strikeout. Five hits in Cards ninth. They finish with 11, Lakers 15. Oswego finishes 10-8 in SUNYAC, Pburgh 7-11

Brockport dominates Oneonta 10-5. Five-run sixth inning pivotal. W. Burghardt 2x4, r, 3bi; M. Gianni, D. Hurlimann, L. Mastellone with two rbi apiece. Port throws five pitchers, Oneonta four. RDragon D. Wright 4x5, r

New Paltz tumbles twice at home to Ithaca, 7-2, 11-1 in seven-inning contests

Conference fourth place playoff berth to be determined between Oneonta and New Paltz in Sunday's DH between the pair in Oneonta. Oneonta 6-10, NP 6-10. New Paltz needs sweep. Oneonta with leg up on strength of early April win. Thus should split and identical records occur, Oneonta advances with series edge vs. NP.
Cortland (15-2) top seed and May 2-4 tourney host.  Brockport (11-7) second seed, Oswego (10-8) third.
Plattsburgh could indeed windup with as many conference wins as Oneonta and New Paltz. But Pburgh lost both season series

But on Valentine's weekend Plattsburgh debuted in Virginia, dropping 11-2 and 16-1 verdicts to Mary Washington. On Feb. 28/Mar 1 weekend the Cardinals meet Grove City and Manhattanville in Myrtle Beach, SC.

That same Feb. 28/Mar 1 weekend has Cortland in Newport News, VA vs. Montclair and C. Newport; Brockport in Rochester vs. URochester and RIT; Oswego at Wesley, DE and Salisbury; Oneonta in Jersey vs. Rugers-Camden, Rowan and at DC's Gallaudet; New Paltz at Salisbury and Johns Hopkins, MD

Still booked is Sunday's Oneonta contest at DC's Gallaudet and Plattsburgh's Saturday/Sunday action in Myrtle Beach, SC vs. Grove City and Manhattanville. Plattsburgh 0-2 after playing two of three games vs. Mary Washington during Valentine's weekend in Virginia.

Rare inactivity for Joe Brown's Cortlands who await March 6-7-8 dates at Johns Hopkins, MD and Wesley. RDragons have added date with Marietta, OH to open Florida slate March 14 in Port Charlotte. Should be interesting season with wealth of veteran arms and a need to replace many key bats. B. McClain preseason All-America pitcher coming off 10-2 season. B. Serio not far behind and Corts added Alex Weingarten who posted good numbers at previous stop Farmingdale, and transfer Seth Lamando. Latter was three-time All-State at Poughkeepsie's Ketcham HS and D-1 Big South freshman of the year at Coastal Carolina in '13. Also a third baseman, Lamando worked just 19 innings last season. Touted reliever Cody Petre returns after missing C-State's '14 campaign. R. McAlary among others back. Staff will be tossing to entirely new catching corps.

All-Conference outfielder veterans include D. Castaldo, V. Bonasuto and C. Ziemendorf. A. Smith returns. Experienced infielders include DeMilio and A. Simon.
All-league performers returning in other houses count Brockport 2B W. Burghardt, Oswego batterymates B. Karinchak (P) and E. Hamlton in addition to rookie of the year pitcher T. Cronin, Plattsburgh OF N. Lupo and C F. Buksa, and Oneonta OF C. Kies

Meanwhile, Cortland product Scott Brown in his third season as D-1 national champion Vanderbilt pitching coach. Vandy off to 6-2 start. Brown, working under then RDragon pitching coach Joe Brown (no relation) was '99 All-American. Was Cortland assistant on Steve Owens' staff, served nine seasons at St. John's before heading to Vandy

Cortland trip to Ithaca on Tuesday ppd. by lingering winter weather. Bombers of IC 2-7 following Sunday 2-1, 8-0 double dip to ranked Kean in New Jersey. Ithaca spent "spring" break in Californa and presented 37-year coach George Valesente with his 1,000th win in finale. The classy Valesente nearing 1,100 wins in 43rd overall campaign including early stints at Brockport and New Paltz

Still on Tuesday agenda is Brockport at 4-4 Rochester

College hitting on the rise? That would mean lower seams on baseballs having their desired effect -- less pitcher's stuff. Balls put into play this year hoping to boost offense and compensate for the recent year change in metal bat composition to lessen the "trampoline" effect.

You need to send us some of that Florida weather. Snowing again today here in Plattsburgh. No green grass to be found. The 5 day forecast doesn't offer much in the way of spring either. 29 degrees tomorrow and still only 38 next Tuesday and Wednesday. No global warming in the North Country this year.

Smith sac fly to right in the bottom of the eighth drives in pinch-runner P. Dondero. A. Clock (2x4, r) and M. Michalski (3x4, r, bi, sb) singles set up determining run. B. Serio pitches complete game (9inn, 8h, 4r, 1er, 1w, 6k on 123 throws). Four RDragon errors. CSt with 11 hits. One Port error behind J. Prouse (7inn, 8h, 4r, 4er, 1, 5k). N.

jdex,
Just thought you might want to know for future reference...the pitcher for Plattsburgh State that won Saturday night's game against Oneonta is named Orr not Ott. Scott Orr is the ace of the Cardinal's staff so far this season with a 3-1 record, 2.65 era, and 29 K's in 37.1 innings. After his 132 pitch, 10 strikeout  shutout last night they are calling him "Iron" Orr. ;D

Also hails from near your neck of the woods...Baldwinsville.

Rumors of baseball weather in Northern New York is strictly that....a rumor. Snowed on Saturday...snowed on Sunday...snowed again most of Monday night.

Plattsburgh State had to postpone another game and has yet to play a home game this season. The game against Skidmore that was scheduled for today was postponed as jdex mentioned in his post. There is no make-up date announced at this time.

The Cardinals will play at Brockport this weekend but the single Friday nine inning game has been moved to Sunday at noon. The doubleheader will start on noon on Saturday.

The 2 home games that the Cardinals were forced to play against Oneonta down in Wappingers Fall and then had to be postponed from that location last weekend have been rescheduled to take place in Plattsburgh on Tuesday April 14th and will be the Cardinals home openers. (I'll believe it when I see it actually happen...baseball in Plattsburgh  ???)

The rescheduling of the 2 games with Oneonta occurs on a day that the Cardinals were supposed to host Middlebury College for a single 9 inning game. That game has now been cancelled and will not be made up.

If the Cardinals, do in fact, play the remainder of the games listed on their schedule, then they will have played a total of 8 games out of 35 in Plattsburgh. :P

Cortland adds two more victories. Tops hosting Staten Island 4-3 and 11-2.
       RDragons nip SI in nine inning first game. Lefty-swinging C. Ziemendorf two-out rbi double to right in the top of the ninth does the job, snapping 3-3 tie. A. Clock sets the stage with two-out single to right. Ziemendorft chases home pinchrunner A. Smith. Otherwise, Cortland in handcuffs applied by SI ace B. Russell (3-1, 0.64 ERA beforehand). Retires 16 straight Dragons into the ninth when relieved after 123 pitches by J. Failia. R. McAlary sets SI down in order in home ninth for the save. Cortland winds up with just four hits, no errors. SI with nine hits, two errors.
Corts post three runs in the first. Walks and error make it 2-0 before Ziemendorf double to left builds 3-0 gap. Host answers with two runs on three hits in the bottom of the first vs. lefty Z. Ferris (4.1inn, 2r, 2er, 4h, 1w, 1k). A. Simon one-out single in the third inning is the last Dragon hit till the ninth. He's erased on a doubleplay. SI forges 3-3 tie in the seventh vs. winner A. Brant (3.2inn, 1r, 1er, 3w, 1k) who retires first two batters. N. Delprete single to left-center the equalizer.
       CSt bolts late in seven inning nightcap. Go in front with three-run fourth on five hits. V. Bomasuto raps leadoff single. M. Michalski rbi single ties it prior to C. Griffin's go-ahead double to right-center. Scores on C. Manderson single. Griffin (3x4, 2r, bi) in the lineup again when M. DeMilio -- recently back from injury, leaves the first game. Griffin later added rbi for fourth score and 4-1 margin in the sixth. RDragons produce seven runs in final at-bat, Michalski (2x4, 3r, 3bi) driving in a pair. Corts bang out 13 hits and overcome four early errors behind 4-1 A. Weingarten (6inn, 1r, 0er, 4h, 0w, 3k). A. Storz absorbs pitching loss. Second of five SI moundsmen
Cortland 21-2, Staten Island 10-9 after five game win streak ends in first game fall. Dragons idle Sunday, then play dh Monday at Fredonia and tentative single game at Freds Tuesday. Tuesday's home date vs. Ithaca ppd

A teeny bit of Florida today in upstate NY? 8-) 8-)

Oneonta earns split at Oswego, winning the nine inning second game 6-2 to end a 12 game tailspin. That follows come-from-behind 7-5 Oswego victory.
      Oneonta rides B. Riedel's three-run sixth inning home run to provide a 4-2 upper hand against Laker whiz T. Cronin (8inn, 5r, 3er, 7h, 0w, 8k). The RDragons add single runs in the eighth and ninth frames and receive standout R. Lyman four inning relief work for N. Ponesse (5inn, 2r, 2er, 5h, 2w, 1k). C. Kies 3x3, 2r, 2bh; W. Baker 2x4, bi for Oneonta which reaps 10 hits. Oswego 2x2, 3bh day for M. Kutscher. E. Hamilton two rbi. First Oneonta conference win.
      In the first game Oswego rises to down Oneonta 7-5 with five runs over the fifth and sixth innings of seven inning tilt. Oneonta holds 5-0 lead through 2 1/2 innings. B. Riedel knocks home two, M. Ortiz another. Lakers close to 5-4 in the fifth (M. Kutscher rbi single) and push over three runs in the sixth. M. Capobianco (2x2, 2r, bi) rbi single ties it. D. Saccocio (3x4, 3r, bi) sends home winning run with a single. Following error puts up seventh run. P. Brown in relief the winner (3.1inn, 1h, 4k), M. Putillo the save. Oswego 10 hits, Oneonta seven and three errors to Laker one misplay

Brockport sweeps Plattsburgh with 10-6 second game outcome on the heels of a rallying 6-5 initial verdeict.
       Brockport in the second game tallies eight runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings for 8-4 control and escapes a bases loaded Plattsburgh bid in the ninth. Fourth Port hurler S. Kowalski induces final out comebacker to complete his inning of work. B. Swayne 4x4, 3r, 3bi paces Eagle batters. G. Ruddy 2x4, 3r, 3bi, 2bh; B. Sanders 2x5, r, 2bi, 2bh. Card C. Pescetti 4x5, 2bi; B. Latulipe 3x5. Z. Landers (5.1inn, 4r, 1er, 7h, 3w, 4k) has the ball first for Brockport. W. Flynn (3.1inn, 6r, 4er, 5h, 2bb, 1k) starts for Pburgh. Cards number 13 hits, two errors. Eagles with 12 hits, four errors
        Brockport in the opener emerges from final seven inning antics with 6-5 triumph. Cardinals jump ahead 5-3 on B. Latulipe grand slam to right in the top of the seventh. Jubilation shortlived. Port immediately answers with three in the bottom of the frame. E. Carrera single gets one. Errors figures in others. Pburgh with six errors contributing to just one earned of Eagles' six runs. M. Vargues hardluck loser (6.2inn, 6r, 1er, 2w, 3k), N. Pontari fortuitous winner (1inn, 2h, 1r, 1er) in relief of J. Prouse (6inn, 6h, 4r, 4er, 2w, 2k).

New Paltz nails down its first conference victory by outlasting Fredonia 12-10 in the second game of their doubleheader at Fredonia neighbor North Collins HS. Fredonia prevails 6-5 in the first game.
      New Paltz breaks eight game losing streak in the second outing. Shakes free of 6-6 tie in four-run fifth. Wild pitch the go-ahead marker. A. DiNardo with two-rbi single and T. Bell rbi double. B. Solomon (1-2) stays for eight innings (10r, 6er, 15h, 0w, 6k) and nabs the win. T. Mitts registers save. J. Williams 3x5, 2r, bi. Fredonia employs four pitchers. Johnston 3x5, 3r, bi; Prentice 3x5, r; Mendiola 2x4, r, 2bi; Cecilia 1x4, 2bi
      Fredonia in the first game scores four times in Blue Devils' final seventh inning at-bat.. Pinch-hitting L. Kelly walkoff winning hit. Rally arrives after one out. Hit batter, V. Sherman single, error gets Devils within 5-3. Q. Danahy (2x3) single makes it 5-4 and K. Sherman second out grounder drives in tying run. NP uses three pitchers in the seventh. S. Hansen performs admirably through five frames (2r, 2er, 5h, 0w, 5k). Hawks the leaders with two-run third (A. DiNardo rbi single) and extended the gap to 5-2 in the top of the seventh (DiNardo rbi single). Fredonian J. Harford tosses first six innings (3r, 3er, 7h, 2w, 4k). Each side with eight hits, Freds two boots, NP one.
   
Meanwhile,  21-2 Cortland basking while idle -- till Monday dh and Tuesday game at Fredonia, and poised to become this week's national No. 1. Am sure skipper Joe Brown isn't all that welcoming to have THAT bull's-eye on his current D3 (media) and ABCA (coaches) second-ranked Red Dragons. Like it or not, No. 1s in the most recent polls both lost Saturday.

D3 leader Salisbury MD fell for the first time. Capital AC rival and No. 8 ranked Frostburg MD claimed 10-0 and 8-7(11inn) home wins, earning the conference tourney top seed. Sea Gulls of Salisbury 21-2, Frostburg 26-3 including early March win vs. Brockport.

ABCA frontrunner and D3 No. 3 Wisc-Whitewater split a home doubleheader with Wisc-LaCrosse, winning 7-5 before bowing 6-3

Plattsburgh rebounds in second game with New Paltz for 10-5 triumph and a split of doubleheader at Saugerties. Fredonia squeaks out 9-8 overtime eight inning win in the first game.
        Plattsburgh rumbles for five runs in the first two innings of game two. M. Vargues with first inning solo home run. C. Pescetti triple to right-center triggers four-run second. N. Lupo, B. Rombauts, B. Buksa hits deliver runs. Cardinals ahead 7-3 in the sixth of nine inning contest. Pburgh 13 hits to support pitcher W. Flynn (6inn, 4r, 4er, 8h, 2w, 3k) and successor S. Howard. C. Huertas of NP exits after the fourth (6r, 5er). Pescetti 3x4, 2r, bi; B. Buksa 3x3, 3r, bi; N. Lupo 2bi. NP J. Williams 2x5, 2r. Hawks 10 hits, four errors. Cards one error

Hanson earlier had a grand slam and got the pitching win with three one-hit relief innings. Pburgh with 8-0 lead after 3 1/2 innings. Scores six times in the fourth when B. Latulipe triples for two.

      Important games for both. Yes, even current last place NP which still has five conference games remaining (2 at Oneonta, 3 at Bport). Cardinals fell Saturday to NP and trying to hang on to playoff berth. Currently hold final fourth slot with three games remaining (3 vs. Cortland).

Plattsburgh wins, loses at St. Lawrence. Prevails 8-2 in the first game in cold Canton. Falls 7-4 to the Larries in the second game of seven inning contests. Cardinals rally for three runs in the top of the seventh to tie. Play stopped. Score reverts to six innings
        Plattsburgh in the opener races to 3-0 lead in the fourth on M. Krogh (2x4, 2r, 2bi), B. Latulipe (2bi), N. Lupo (2bi) rbi singles and in 8-0 command after a five-run fifth.

B. Jenkins the LP
         Cardinals tied 4-4 till SL strikes twice in the fifth and gets solo homer in the sixth. Nice comeback in the seventh climaxed by M. Vargues' apparent game-tying rbi single to left. Twas for naught. Four hits, two errors for Cards; 10 hits, three errors for 14-14 SL. M. Crispens, the second of three Pburgh pitchers, takes the setback.

Cortland adds Wednesday home game with St. John Fisher. Fisher 15-3 in last 18 games (21-17 overall) including today's come-from-behind 8-6 win over RIT. Plays at Brockport tomorrow in a busy week in an apparent bid to build a resume worthy of an NCAA tourney regional at-large selection. Beyond the Cortland game SJF heads to Utica for the Empire 8 tourney (no automatic Nat'l bid at stake)

Stevens of the Empire 8 drops Monday evening 6-5 decision at Rutgers-Camden to wind up the Ducks' regular season. Also hopeful of regional at-large consideration, Stevens is 27-12. Lost 2-of-3 vs. Ithaca (17-14) over the weekend while Fisher went 2-1 vs. Houghton (17-20).

You're excused Fran. Just don't let it happen again. ;D  Congratulations to you and jdex for the SUNYAC championship once again and also for the #1 ranking that the Red Dragons have held onto for so long. Good luck in the Regionals and beyond (I hope).

Good luck to the Women's softball team, also SUNYAC Champions as they host a regional this weekend. 

Good luck also today to the SUNYAC Champion Men's Lacrosse team against Springfield. Go Red Dragons.

And last but not least I hope the SUNYAC Champions Women's Lacrosse team can bring home the Walnut and Bronze this year.

Cortland today with an added home game with St. John Fisher. Hmmmmmmm ..........Obviously means much to the Cardinals, who embarrassed a decent Brockport yesterday at the Port. Fisher with 16 wins in its last 19 games and certainly trying to impress NCAA playoff regional inspectors. Guess here is strong finish in the upcoming Empire 8 tourney, alongside a strong SOS (currently 53) will assure a berth no matter today's outcome.

Cortland no doubt will be ready to go, though coach Joe Brown's priority is getting his troupe ready for next week's regional. He has already attained a major goal -- taking the automatic NCAA slot by capturing the conference. Has always been RDragons primary target to this date. Would figure Fisher will see a predetermined pitching rotation, most likely not including top four starters

Oswego home doubleheader today vs. Cazenovia canceled. As we stated at the conclusion of conference tourney, Lakers an NCAA lock. Just saw where their SOS is 14!

The SOS that is listed on the D3baseball page from what I understand is not the same one/formula that is used to determine final schedule strength.  I want to say we went around on this on here in the past in regards to a possible Ithaca bid.  Maybe John McGraw knows more on this?

Below preludes D3 updated team-by-team SOS:

The NCAA Division III postseason selection committee determines strength of schedule using opponents' winning percentage and opponents' opponents' winning percentage. A team's SOS is two-thirds opponents' winning percentage (OWP) and one-third opponents' opponents' winning percentage (OOWP).
Those numbers follow, calculated by PrestoSports.

We've sorted these teams by their strength of schedule. This is only part of the process used to determine who will get selected to the NCAA Tournament.

Records and winning percentage are based on in-region games only. OWP: Opponents' winning percentage. OOWP: Opponents' opponents' winning percentage. SOS: two-thirds OWP and one-third OOWP.

Cortland bows 12-8 to St. John Fisher and its 25 hit barrage against nine RDragon pitchers at C-land. Cardinals overcome 8-6 deficit after six innings.  M. Kelsey opens SJF seventh with home run to left. V. Bomasuto relieves and yields four straight Fisher singles to take charge. Cards have four-run second, Corts five-run fourth. Not one of Cortland hurlers has much luck. Every SJF starter contributes a hit and eight have multi-hit games. C. Woolhiser 4x5, 2r, 3bi; M. Cahill 4x6, 2r, bi; M. Kelsey 4x6, 2r, bi. Three others with three hits each. J. Amann goes five for Cards who summon top reliever K. Berge in the sixth. He quiets the host. Cortland gets leadoff HR by D. Castaldo. Only four Dragon runs earned. SJF with four errors. Corts with 13 hits, no errors. A. Simon 3x5, r, 2bi
Cortland 36-4. Fisher 23-17 and opening Empire 8 tourney Thursday at host Utica

Thanks JDEX.  Fisher making a case it seems.  Dangerous team, for some reason has struggled at times but this little stretch of games and the results could be a real testament to pitching depth.  I looked at the box scores, they have their better starters still in the tank for the conference tournament.

Cortland rallies for 6-4 win over upstart Oberlin, which leads 4-3 through six innings behind soph K. Dominy. Strands 11 RDragons on five hits through seven innings. Dominy leaves in eighth and successor walks two. V. Bomasuto single delivers tying run and A. Simon base knock puts Corts ahead. Error produces sixth run. B. Serio serves up 140 pitches for CSt before leaving for A. Brant. Oberlin Yeomen far from intimidated by No. 1 Cortland who take 3-0 lead through the second inning before under Dominy spell. Cortland on to Thursday 4:30 game vs. Amherst. Oberlin in 10 a.m. elimination game vs. Oswego

Oswego snuffed out in 11th 7-5 by Amherst in 3 1/2 hour match. Some interesting Lakers' baserunning not a help. Lord Jeffs with 17 hits and nearly out of pitchers. Little-used arm stops OSt over final two frames. Oswego with 14 hits. B. Karinchak hurls the first eight frames. P. Brown finishes. Lakers rally from 5-3 hole to tie matters in the bottom of the ninth. Could have had more and settled things then but for a wandering runner ....Oswego will return for first game Thursday. Amherst awaits Cortland/Oberlin winner for 4:30 Thursday contest

Post by: magicman on May 13, 2015, 07:39:30 PM
Watched much of the Cortland game and must admit  was nervous over the outcome. Glad to see the Red Dragons come back and get the win.

Oswego should have won their game in the bottom of the 9th but for the lead runner getting picked off 2nd when there was 2 men on and no outs. Runner on 2nd got caught in a pickle so the runner on first ran over to 2nd and the runner caught in the pickle made it back to 2nd, but 2 men on 1 base never works. Umps called the guy that was on first, out and the Lakers subsequently got 2 runs, to tie the game and force extra frames. That guy that was called out would have been the 3rd and winning run. Not his fault though as the blame is squarely on the runner that was on 2nd and wandered too far from the bag to begin with.

All in all a good day for the NY region.  Cortland, RPI and Old Westbury win (Old Westbury was a big surprise over Baldwin Wallace).  Oswego certainly had their chances to make it a NY sweep but with that said the Cortland game could/should have gone the other way.  3-1 isn't bad though!

Didn't realize it until I looked at the box score last night but Oswego stranded 16 runners on base. Combine that with some very aggressive base running that did not pay off and there you go. Give Amherst credit though, the Jeffs made some wise defensive plays and hit the ball all over the field with some key situational hits. Cortland-Amherst should be a pretty good this afternoon.

Meanwhile, the Lakers will have their hands full with Oberlin and if they are able to beat the Yeomen, they'll get either Keystone or Baldwin Wallace tomorrow.

Cortland back from the dead to win 7-5 verdict from Amherst in winners bracket contest. RDragons unglued and trailing 5-0 into the seventh inning get two-run home run from V. Bomasuto, then score five times in the top of the ninth as Jeffs come undone. Bomasuto single produces the third run. Amherst relief choice shaky to say the least. Hit batter fills the bases. A. Clock one-out full-count walk notches the fourth run. F. Ricci single to left ties it and M. Michalski walk makes it 6-5. Pinch-hitting A. Smith single to right drives in the seventh. Cortland's T. Brien retires three of four Amherst in the home ninth. S. Lamando starts for CSt and works seven innings (5h). Amherst takes full advantage of Cortland errors (4) to score one in the first and four in the fourth. All five Jeffs' runs unearned. Corts with 11-5 hit edge. R. Streit on the mound and in control most of the way for Amherst. Dragons strand 10 through the first eight innings
Cortland, 38-4, plays Friday at 4:30 vs. RPI whose Engineers handle Old Westbury Thursday night. Amherst eliminated Friday morning by Keystone PA



Oswego ousted by Oberlin OH  7-2 this morning. Early defensive gaffes put Lakers behind the eight ball, down 3-1 after an inning. Freshman Yeomen pitcher S. Kiley (6-3) does the rest in complete game eight-hitter. Frosh R. Donnelly goes seven innings in defeat. Yields five runs, just two earned. Oswego with four errors. Obies error-free with 12 hits
OSt winds up 27-13. Oberlin 20-26 and plays on Friday afternoon

Cortland laces Frostburg MD 17-4 with an 11-run fifth inning to capture Pool A World Series play in Wisconsin. Frostburg earlier today eliminates Ramapo 5-2 to gain the Pool round finals of double elimination tourney. Cortland awaits the Pool B final between unbeaten Wisc-La Crosse and once-beaten Trinity TX which ousts Emory GA earlier today. La Crosse/Trinity upcoming at 9:50.

Cortland, down to a three-run Bobcat third inning before going on a rampage two frames later, collects 18 hits and is errorless. Frostburg with eight hits, three errors. A. Weingarten the winning hurler in a complete game (4er, 2w, 9k). M. Michalski goes 4x4, 2r, 2bi. F. Ricci 3x5, 3r, 3bi. N. Hart and C. Ziemendorf with 3bi apiece. Ten Cortlands scored, nine score a run, eight drove in a run. Frostburg sends six to the slab.

F. Ricci launches CSt 11-run spree with a double to left-center. The first five batters reach base, two with bases loaded walks. A. Simon single to center chased home two and a 4-3 lead. After an out, six straight hit safely including Ricci's triple to center. Fifteen bat and there are nine hits.

Cortland, 43-4, would begin the best-of-3 championship set Tuesday at 11 a.m. if La Crosse prevails Monday evening. A Trinity victory will force a Pool B winner-take-all game Tuesday morning. That probably puts off the start of the best-of-3 championship set to Wednesday. Veteran lefty  B. McClain probably takes the RDragons  mound

Nice to see the Red Dragons move on to the Championship series. I watched the game tonight and thought (once again) that Cortland was going to lose this game and it will come down to a deciding game tomorrow. And then they exploded for those 11 runs.

Cortland faces Wisc-La Crosse at 9:20 Eastern in first game of World Series best-of-3 championship series in Appleton, Wisc.

Five hour rain delay before La Crosse finishes off Trinity TX 10-7 in Pool B final. Rain holds up that game just before 2:30 Eastern with La Crosse up 9-3 into the eighth inning.

Cortland claims the Pool A final yesterday with 17-4 elimination of Frostburg MD. Trinity defeated La Crosse 16-6 Monday necessitating today's rematch.

Today's championship series first game precedes Wednesday second game and third if needed

Cortland claims the first game 11-3 over Wisc-La Crosse in best-of-3 World Series finals in Wisconsin. Second game Wednesday at noon Eastern. Third game if needed to follow.

RDragons strike for five runs in the first two innings helped by three La Crosse errors. Eagles within 5-3 after 6 1/2 innings before Corts post three-run seventh on C. Zimendorf and A. Clock rbi hits and a double steal of second and home. Cortland with three more runs in the eighth and finish with 15 hits, no errors. La Crosse with 10 hits, four errors.

Ziemendorf 4x5; V. Bomasuto 3bi, N. Hart 3x4, 2r; A. Simon 2x5, 3r. B. McClain gets the pitching win over 5.1 innings (6h, 2r, 2er, 1w, 4k). When his breaking ball begins to miss, he gets relief from T. Brien and A. Brant. S. Adler goes the distance in defeat.

Cortland wins its school record 44th game in 48 starts in its quest for the school's first baseball national crown

Cortland national champions! Comes from behind to beat Wisc-La Crosse 6-2 and sweep the best-of-3 championship series in Wisconsin. RDragons in a 2-1 hole entering the top of the ninth when M. Michalski gets a leadoff single preceding a botched fielding bunt. M. DiMilio walks and soph N. Hart delivers 1-1 pitch to center for two rbi and 3-2 lead. Another error produces the fourth run and F. Ricci pokes two-out two-run single to right. Corts bat 10 in the ninth with four hits and two boots leading to five runs.

T. Laitar comes on in relief to retire the Eagles .....a 4-6-3 doubleplay giving Cortland the crown -- its first in baseball. Cortland with a final 45-4 record.

A scoreless game matching Cortland pitcher S. Lamando and Eagle J. Miller through five innings. C. Ziemendorf delivers an rbi single for a 1-0 CSt lead in the sixth when Dragons leave runners on second and third when La Crosse relief ace J. Sadowske gets second and third outs. Eagles seize 2-1 lead in their sixth on B. Barsness and S. Adler rbi knocks. Corts finally get to Sadowske in the ninth with the aid of fielding flaws. A. Brant takes over for Lamando in the eighth and gets the pitching win.

Cortland with 11 hits, no errors. La Crosse with eight safeties and three errors. Hart, Ricci, Michalski with two hits apiece as Cortland goes 4-0 in the regionals and 5-0 in the WS

Ziemendorf named the Series Most Outstanding.  Lamando, B. Serio, A. Clock, Ricci All-Tourney

And, yes, Bob Wallace would be so happy. For sure, someone was looking down on this Cortland team in 2015!

Congratulations to the National Champion Cortland State Red Dragons who proved that 13 was a lucky number for them. They defeat Wisconsin-La Crosse in a come from behind 6-2 win by scoring 5 runs in the top of the 9th inning.

Cortland never lost a game in the Regionals, the Pool A title and the Championship Series as they went 9-0 in NCAA tournament play.

This was the 2nd National Title in the past 4 days as they have a matching pair of Walnut and Bronze trophies thanks to the Women's Lacrosse team's National Championship that they won on Sunday.

Great job by the Red Dragon teams this spring to bring home 2 titles and have 4 teams (Men's Lax and Women's Softball also) make the NCAA tournament.

I am from Cortland and I have been following the baseball program for as long as I can remember (my Dad is a huge baseball fan and a Cortland Alum). It is great to see them finally win the whole thing. They have been so good, for so long, and they deserved to finish the season on top.

Even after I have become a Fisher fan, I could not be happier for them.

Defending national champ and preseason top-ranked Cortland is scheduled to play 14 games this spring against teams currently in the Collegiate Baseball top 40. The Red Dragons open the season with two games at fourth-ranked Salibury Feb. 20-21, faces 13th-ranked Marietta and 17th-ranked Methodist as part of Methodist's tournament in North Carolina Feb. 26 and plays a pair of contests at 24th-ranked Johns Hopkins March 5-6.

The Red Dragons will also face 29th-ranked Mary Washington on the road March 10 on their way down to Florida, and their Sunshine State schedule will be highlighted by a rematch with second-ranked Wisconsin-La Crosse March 13. Cortland's northern slate includes three SUNYAC games at 31st-ranked Oswego, two non-league tilts with 37th-ranked Ithaca, and a game against 39th-ranked Stevens Institute.

Maryland weather looking good for Saturday/Sunday Cortland liftoff at Salisbury. Has been cold, as in freezing, to twice postpone Sea Gulls opener with Va. Wesleyan. Salisbury/Cortland now debut for both.

RDragons appear to have taken a hit with preseason All-America senior pitcher A. Weingarten not on the '16 roster. Weingarten 9-1 in 60 innings a year ago. Corts list 19 pitchers including A-A candidate S. Lamando whose capable bat could be in the lineup elsewhere as well. Senior outfielder C. Ziemendorf also a preseason A-A.

Pitching additions include former NY high school player of the year Ben Moxley from Oneonta, and D1 senior transfer Tanner Whiteman. The 6-4, 215 latter was the No. 2 starter at Maryland Eastern Shore after playing at Onondaga CC and scholastically at Cazenovia.

Skipper Joe Brown certainly has holes to be filled with the departures of middle infielders A. Simon and M. DeMilio, along with other key links D. Cataldo, V. Bomasuto and A. Smith. DeMilio on the coaching staff.

Cortland debuts with 8-4 win at opening Salisbury. Corts break 3-3 tie with four-run eighth,  Walks ignite the uprising and F. Ricci (4x5) two-strike bunt single and ensuing throwing error produces the go-ahead run. Huge play as it turns out. Passed ball produces fifth run and J. Teague single drives in two more. P. Grasso homers for Sea Gulls in the bottom of the eighth. Back-to-back doubles by Ricci and S. Figueroa in the ninth rounds out the scoring.

Veteran A. Brant hurls final two innings for Cortland in relief of newcomer J. Cooke who tosses two innings succeeding P. Healey one inning stint. S. Lamando starts (4inn, 3h, 2r, 0er, 0bb, 3k). Cooke credited with the mound win.

Cortland 3-2 lead  after five frames. RDragons hitless with five Ks till the fourth when DP thwarts a two-hit inning. Sea Gulls  score pair of unearned runs in the third. Cortland with a three-run, three-hit fifth inning. Two walks and Teague single set the stage for N. Hart two-run single to left. Ricci infield hit and Salisbury miscue puts Corts ahead 3-2. They knock out opposing righty starter Grasso, who goes to shortstop. Salisbury in 3-3 tie in the seventh on two hits and sac bunt.

Cortland bats seven lefties at the start. Salisbury works five pitchers. Grasso absorbs the loss.

Teams square off again Sunday in action forwarded to 11 a.m. start. Cortland No. 1 in preseason polls, Sea Gulls fourth

Cortland     8-9-3
Salisbury    4-7-2

Cortland rolls 27-13 over Salisbury in Sunday action in Carolina. RDragons with 24 hits including four home runs to improve their record to 2-0 at Sea Gulls' expense. Coach J. Brown notches 600th win, all at Cortland in 17 seasons. Brown 600-56-3.

Corts have to overcome 7-0 first inning hole. Post four runs in the second -- three on P. Dondero inside-the-park home run, and forge 11-8 lead with a seven-run fourth inning featuring C. Manderson solo home run and A. Clock three-run roundtripper. C. Ziemendorf homers in the sixth for CSt. Cortland tallies eight runs in the ninth.

C. Griffin 4x6, 2bh, 3bi, 2r for the winners. F. Ricci and C. Ziemendorf with 3 hits apiece.

Here's our guess .......preseason Division 3 polls for the most part based on what teams did last season, and their tradition. Tis pure speculation on their current status until more of a sample.

Salisbury is a prime example. Very young  in '16. Lost a lot. Obviously with pitching questions. Cortland much more experienced. Has pitching questions itself, particularly with top-notch Alex Weingarten not playing. Both teams, and most programs, use these early season games to determine exactly what they have.

For sure, look for plenty of poll movement as we progress.

Hart (2x2, 3bi) two-run single to center and C. Ziemendorf two-out rbi single up the middle. Add three runs in the fifth on one hit -- A. Clock (3x4, 2r) run-scoring  base knock to center.
    Marietta dh A. Harvey (3x4) thorn to Cortland. Lefty knocks in three runs with fourth inning single, sixth inning home run to right and eighth inning single.  Marietta uses four pitches. Returning ace C. Herstine (1.98era, 6-5 in 2015) starts and exits on losing end of the decision (4inn, 4r, 4er, 7h, 3bb, 2k).

Cortland at 6-0 atop the weekly D3 poll with all 25 No. 1 votes. RDragons have had to battle back in five of their wins against the likes of seventh ranked Salisbury NC, 19th Marietta OH and formerly ranked Methodist NC. Corts get current poll mention Johns Hopkins in single games Saturday and Sunday in Baltimore

Brockport at 5-0 gets poll mention in the 27th slot but surprisingly no where to be found among the 30-plus mentions is 4-0 Oswego whose Lakers in our mind will very much be a conference contender.

jdex,

Just stopping by to see what's been happening. Great recaps. I now know all about the teams southern jaunts without having to go to a bunch of different websites.

Cortland off to a great start. Love the #1 ranking which is right where they should be after such an impressive start. Tough loss not having Weingarten back on the mound. Perhaps the senior D1 transfer you mention, Tanner Whiteman, can make up for the loss.

Red Dragons 8-0 start certainly look like Coach Brown has filled many of those holes you were talking about. Sounds like they will be in the mix once again for the Big Doorstop. Oswego and Brockport also opening up with impressive southern campaigns. Looking like my Cardinals will have another less than stellar year. Definitely need some better bats. 

Looking forward to a certain Southern Maine shortstop having another banner year. I see he's already accumulated some honors...Preseason All American team and named to the Golden Spikes Award watch list, the only D3 player on that list. Hoping these are just the first of many awards he may garner in this, his final season. Back to back Player of the Year awards would be nice. Probably asking to much but who knows.

Looking forward to your summaries. 8-)

Cortland (8-0) garners all 25 first place votes again to hold serve at No. 1 in second D3 weekly poll. Top five the same: 2. Wisc-LaCrosse (0-0), 3. Emory GA (11-2), 4. Trinity TX (12-3), 5. Birmingham-Southern (11-2)
     Then 6. Shenendoah VA (9-1), 7. UW-Whitewater (0-0), 8. Frostburg MD (6-2), 9. Randolph-Macon VA (11-1), 10. Southern Maine (0-0). Randolph Macon jumps from 16th

Oswego getting some love at No. 23. Ditto for Laker jr. 3B E. Hamilton who makes weekly D3 national squad for his weekend of terrific slugging. Brockport receives poll votes

I thought Oswego would be much higher.  There are good teams in this region as well as the defending national champ.  Time for the polls to reflect that.  Oswego has challenged themselves as has Brockport, St. John Fisher, Stevens to lesser extent in terms of competition and all of those clubs can play with anyone in the country as obviously can Cortland.  I would love to know when ANY team in NY state in any sport in division III was a unanimous number 1 in any poll that wasn't conducted at the end of the season.  I am only talking big 5 sports...Baseball, Football, Hockey, Basketball, Lacrosse.  Plattsburgh in hockey at some point years ago?  Potsdam St in hoops way back in the day?  Interesting and very impressive for Cortland.

I may be biased, but, they pounded Salisbury at their own park.  OSU 7-0, Salisbury Steak 4-3.  Not saying that Salisbury shouldn't be ranked, or anything like that.  Just a bit surprises that the Lakers went on the road and beat the teams they did by the margins they did.

Post by: jdex on March 09, 2016, 03:19:09 PM
We agree. Oswego is on course to be the real deal, but wasn't on any of the pollsters' radar in preseason. We've stated before these early season ratings are based mostly on recent history, as in 'what have you done for me lately' and the potential to do it again. Salisbury has been quite good for some time and started the season highly ranked. SUNYs have caused the Sea Gulls to slip a bit. They also won four in a row. Meanwhile Oswego (31 in the Baseball News preseason poll) wasn't even among D3 poll's top 70 (top 25 plus 35 mentions) last week and is 23rd now.

Tis early, very early

Cortland fortunate to escape with split vs. Oneonta in dh at Cornell. Claims the second game 2-0 in seven innings despite outhit 4-3.  Oneonta wins first game 3-2 in 12 innings. Oneonta, which has yet to play at home, is the home team.
      CSt's  M. Personius' double drives in second game second inning run. Posts second run in the sixth when F. Ricci single, swipes second and third and continues home on throwing error. B. Moxley the Cortland starting pitcher relieved in the third by J. Cooke (4.2inn, 1h, 0bb, 3k). N. Ponesse certainly adequate for Oneonta (5.1inn, 2r, 1er, 3h, 1bb, 4k).
      Oneonta in the opener pulls off the upset with two 12th inning scores. M. Grudzinski rbi single to left produces the second and winning run after D. Stamile begins the rally with single. M. Mastroianni hit by pitch. Passed ball moves runners up. S. Mullins walks. Stamile scores tying run while CSt gets 6-4-3 DP. Grudzinski then plays hero. Cortland moves ahead  2-1 in the top of the 12th on controversial call. N. Hart opens with double to right-center. Following K and groundout, C. Manderson with infield single sending Hart to third. K. Andrews grounds to short whose throw to first initially gets an out call. Call reversed and error charged. Hart scores. S. Lamando on the CSt hill (9inn, 4h, 1r, 0er, 0bb, 8k) till T. Parry arrives in the 10th and finishes for the loss. T. Bond for Oneonta yields in the 10th to C. DiDomizio who strands runner on second with two Ks. DiDomizio (2-2) the winner. Bond nine innings (5h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 11k). Both Lamando, Bond 124 pitches. Corts score in the second on A. Clock triple, N. Hart single. Matched in the Oneonta second on D. Stamile double to left-center, S. Mullins single to right where the ball is misplayed.
     Cortland 7-4, 22-5 and home vs. Rochester Wednesday, at Ithaca Thursday. Oneonta 1-4, 3-17 and at RPI Tuesday, home vs. Ithaca Wednesday

Oswego polishes off Plattsburgh 16-6 with 18 hits at the Burgh. Lakers answer six-run, five-hit Plattsburgh third with three runs in the fourth, three in the fifth and NINE in the seventh. M.

      New Paltz with two runs in the third inning of the nightcap. J. Williams' triple delivers first run. A. Diana plates Williams with single. Adds two runs in the eighth via A. DiNardo (2x4) rbi double and balk. C. Huertas (6.2inn, 1r, 1er, 7h, 1bb, 4k) accorded pitching victory. Devils score in the seventh on K. Sherman (2x5) rbi and make things interesting in the ninth with a run. Leave tying runs aboard. R. Votypka induces final out fly. C. Wolf in seven innings permits two runs, both earned (6h, 2bb, 6k) for Fredonia.
      NP D. Campbell double drives in first two Hawk runs in the first game. J. Stybel (5inn, 4h, 2bb, 1k) gets the win with relief from R. Votypko (2inn, 1k). L. Kuczewski on the losing end. J. Williams 2x3, r; C. Baltera 1x2, bi; A. Pantano 2x3, 2r, bi for NP

Cortland State once again trying for a stranglehold on the spring sports championships. Men's Lacrosse team won the SUNYAC title today beating Brockport 7-6.

The Women's Lacrosse team won their 37th straight game over the past two years defeating Brockport today 16-11 to win the SUNYAC championship again. The Red Dragons are the top ranked team in the nation and will be looking to defend their National Championship they won last year.

The Red Dragon softball team remains undefeated in the YAC tournament and will face Buffalo State on Sunday for the championship. The Bengals will have to defeat Cortland twice to claim the title. Good luck with that.

And that brings us to the defending National Champion baseball team who is undefeated in the SUNYAC championship after today's games. The Red Dragon's will face Oswego on Sunday for the title. THe Lakers will have to win 2 games to dethrone the Red Dragons.

Cortland captures conference playoff crown with 3-1 victory over Oswego at the host's Wallace Field. Lakers strike in their eighth via one-out walk, W. Randall double and B. Hamilton rbi groundout. Randall left at third when J. Cooke induces E. Hamilton groundout to second. Leave runners on first and second in the ninth against reliever T. Parry who arrives after Cooke issues one-out walk, then one ball to J. Barnes. Parry walks Barnes before recording full-count swinging strikeout and flyout to left.
  Corts just four hits, Oswego five -- three in the first two innings when RDragon righty Cooke strands Lakers in scoring position. Cortland scores in the second on F. Ricci walk, sac bunt and S. Figueroa rbi single. Makes it 3-0 in the third on one-out walk followed by P. Dondero home run to left. Corts leave the bases loaded in the fifth and two aboard in the sixth. Oswego starts N. Boughton (5.2inn, 3r, 3er, 6bb, 2k, 93 pitches). JM Guarino in relief pitches out of the trouble in the sixth. Still on in the eighth to set down the Dragons 1-2-3 style.
   Cooke retires eight straight till J. Giller one-out double in the seventh. Cooke uses just 10 pitches to retire the side but leaves with one out in the ninth with 125 pitches (8.1inn, 1r, 1er, 5h, 3bb, 5k)
    Cortland dominate tourney pitching evident in all-tourney selections -- as in Parry, T. Whiteman, S. Lamando and mvp J. Cooke. F. Ricci and P. Dondero selected along with Oswego's Z. Kollar, W. Randall, E. Hamilton. Brockporters C. Davis, W. Burghardt round out tourney's elite.
    RDragons' sixth straight tourney title. Conference champions 23 of the last 26 years, and 34th overall since 1959 inception
           Cortland 37-5 and 16 straight wins and hosting NCAA NY Regional at Auburn up next. Oswego 32-9 under former Cortland standout pitcher S. Landers. Lakers also bound for NCAA tourney play

I see that nephew Sam is having another superb year. Could he go back to back POY? Also see that Sam has a younger brother that looks like a good hurler and a decent infielder as well. Leads the team with an ERA of 1.38.

Cortland wins World Series opener 1-0  over Emory GA behind S. Lamando five-hit, 10 strikeout performance. Freshman shortstop Paul Dondero home run to left with two outs in the seventh the difference.

National pitcher of the years Lamando (10-0) yields leadoff ninth inning single to right by Nick Chambers but Chris Young lines into doubleplay to first baseman Austin Clock. Lamando gets final out on called third strike

Each side with six hits. Emory with the game's lone error. DH Patrick Schetter 2x3 for Corts

Would have liked to see pitch counts for the two aces. Game underway on schedule at 11 this morning. Substantial rain delay after three innings. Game wraps up around 3:30

Just saw the post-game press conference with SUNY-Cortland.  Winning pitcher Seth Lamando discussed what he did in the 2 hour rain delay.

The mental determination in the focus of his answer about concentrating on the game during the delay was what impressed me.  The straight in the eye look that he gave me as we spoke after the press conference impressed me. I admire that attribute very much. Congratulations to Seth on the outstanding "mental" game that he played to achieve what he did. I wish him best regards in all of his future endeavors. He said he is a physical education major. If he can inculcate his determination and mental discipline into his future athletes, then those young men and women will be greatly blessed.

(We saw a memorable pitcher's duel!  That game was a fan's delight.)

Well, Ralph, not a lot of us "saw" this memorable duel. But was a fan's delight. Haven't checked other sources yet, but would like to know the pitch count for each of those hurlers. Might you know?

Emory skipper in the press conference made mention of Lamondo throwing about 160 pitches

jdex,
Checked 3 different sites but none of them give the pitch count for either starter. Don't understand the lack of info.

Great game by the Red Dragons as Lamando showed why he was chosen as the D3 Pitcher of the Year. Superb defense by Cortland as well to get out of several jams with some fine fielding. Amazing to see both hurlers come back out and pitch after sitting out the long rain delay. The boys in the Big Leagues don't do that.

Looks like Cortland may play Trinity Texas tomorrow as they lead Wisconsin La Crosse 3-0 after 4 innings when the game was halted because of more rain.

Game was resumed and at midnight Eastern time Trinity is now ahead by a score of 6-0. Trinity will be batting in the bottom of the 8th.

Trinity defeats Wisconsin La Crosse 8-0. Cortland will face the Tigers at 2:15 PM this afternoon (Saturday). Emory meets Wisconsin La Crosse in an elimination game at 11 AM.

Cortland idle till Sunday when they meet TrinityTX in Pool A winners bracket. Trinity late Friday (early Saturday) blanked Wisc-LaCrosse 8-0

Weather has caused some schedule moves, as in moving the losers bracket ahead of the winners

St. John Fisher/Keystone PA playing this morning at 11 Eastern  in Pool B start. Weather could again be a factor. Cloudy, upper 70s. Humidity already 85% -- liquid rain!

Nice feature on D3 Baseball coverpage dealing with Cortland's Conrad Ziemendorf and SJF's Cody Wiktorski who grew up and competed against one another in western NY

Just to clarify on a couple of things:

1) The video issue for Cortland's game Friday was not the fault of anyone producing the broadcast. It was an internet provider issue - the broadcast was being done, but couldn't be sent out until the internet issue was fixed. The people the NCAA hires to do the broadcast produce a top-notch broadcast; it was unfortunate that no one could see that game. Appears the issue has been fixed since.

2) The stats people here don't keep pitch counts, so any numbers out there are either guesses, or numbers tracked by the individual teams.

The people here in Wisconsin run a first-class operation. I've been fortunate to be here multiple times, and I've been treated great every time. They provide a great experience for the athletes (now, if they could only figure out how to control the weather...) :)

Trinity on top with three-run second inning. Corts rebound for five scores in the fourth but  in 8-5 hole when Tigers score five times in the sixth inning including three on D. Butler home run. Dragons within 8-7 with two-run eighth. Trinity gets one in the top of the ninth. Cortland leadoff batter reaches in the ninth. DP erases that threat.

T. Whiteman starts for Cortland  and tosses 5.2 innings (7r, 7er, 8h, 2bb, 5k). J. Winters goes 2.2 innings, A. Brant .2 inning. Have 13-11 hit edge. P.

Cortland taking on Wisconsin-La Crosse in an elimination game. Red Dragons fall behind early 1-0 when La Crosse scores a single run in the 2nd inning. Cortland gets a lead with 2 runs in the top of the 4th and the Wisconsin team gets another marker in the bottom of the 4th to knot things up again. Red Dragons get 2 runs in the 5th and get some breathing room with 3 more in the 6th to go in front 7-2. Once again the video feed is on the fritz after working fine for the earlier games today. Live stats are working so that's how I'm following the game.

Cortland scored 2 runs in the 4th inning on a F. Ricci single followed by a S.Figueroa double to score Ricci. A. Clock then singled to plate Figueroa.     

2 runs in the 5th inning accomplished with a double steal by F. Ricci and C.Ziemendorf and followed by a 2 run single by A. Clock.

3 run 6th inning features a walk to J. Teague who is sacrificed to 2nd and moved over to 3rd on  ground out. P. Dondero walked and stole 2nd followed by another single by C.Ziemendorf to score Teague and put runners on the corners. F. Ricci's 2nd hit of the game scores Dondero and sends Ziemendorf to 3rd. Ricci then steals 2nd base allowing Ziemendorf to score with a steal of home.

Nice to see St. John Fisher win an elimination game 4-3 against the other WIAC conference team Wisconsin-Whitewater.

2 NY teams beating 2 WIAC teams in any sport doesn't happen often. Hope that's the case shortly as the Cortland game is now starting the top of the 8th with the Red Dragons still up 7-2.

Thanks for letting me know. We'll see what tomorrow will bring.

Hopefully wins over Trinity-Texas.

 Cortland goes down 5-2 to Trinity TX in elimination game. RDragon thrown out at the plate for final out.  Cortland leaves bases loaded in both sixth and seventh innings without scoring. Seventh ends with Trinity shortstop C. Moore making over the shoulder tumbling catch in short left of F. Ricci bid for a hit after fouling off two 3-2 pitches

Trinity scores one in first and second innings. Corts square it in the bottom of the second on C. Ziemendorf rbi double and A. Clock rbi single to center on which Ziemendorf thrown out at the plate. Trinity with single runs in the sixth and seventh innings, and adds unearned run in the eighth

Tigers with 10 hits, Cortland seven. N. DiBenedetto starts for CSt and throws 6.1 innings (4r, 4er, 9h, 0bb, 4k). K. Curry faces one batter. A. Brant pitching since the seventh and T. Parry finishes. Trinity lefty reliever A. Hoffman solid vs. stacked lefty swinging Dragon attack

Cortland homebound and concludes 43-8. Trinity from Pool A into best-of-three finale and betters Keystone PA in two straight for WS crown

You would think.

Was a New York player-of-the year out of high school, and had a solid Rookie All-America season as a Coastal frosh recruit on an NCAA tourney squad. Coastal had a losing record the following season and his numbers were down (believe an injury). A Poughkeepsie area product, he expressed a desire to come home and be able to play in front of family. Cortland was welcoming. Both benefited.
Went back and checked Coastal rosters during Lamando's stay and, yes, many championship regulars were classmates of his.

As for Sam, we wish a team with Florida-based training had been the drafter. Certainly could have witnessed his start in the Florida Gulf League. As it is Chisox in Arizona

Collegiate Baseball preseason No. 1 ranked Cortland a month away from season opener at Salisbury MD. RDragons chart 14 games to the south before conference start at New Paltz whose new pilot is Arlan Freeman, erstwhile aide at Stevens. Corts show 20 road tests before finishing with 13 of final 15 at home Wallace Field.

No Florida excusion in the works but Cortland has plentiful early play in Maryland, Virginia and Pennsy vs. the likes of preseason ranked Randolph Macon (8), Salisbury (30), Susquehanna (32), Shenendoah (35), Johns Hopkins (40)

Decorated Joe Brown again needs to reload a bit in his 18th season. Good place to start is returning pitcher A. Weingarten, 9-1 in Dragons' World Series title run in '15. Did not play last year during 43-8 run and another strong WS showing.

St. John Fisher 9th in preseason list, Oswego 14th. Keystone PA directly behind Cortland

And Cortland also No. 1 in D3 Baseball preseason poll, step ahead of Keystone. Fisher and Oswego touted as well

Cortland debuts with 15-12 win at Salisbury, MD. RDragon bats in fine form with 15 hits including 5x6 showing by veteran S. Figueroa; Cortland pitching not so much past returning starter J. Cook (4inn, 3h, 1er, 1bb, 3k). Five arms follow with newbie P. Boice getting the final three outs following pair of Sea Gulls HRs in the ninth off predecessor. Dragons take 5-1 lead into the sixth where Salisbury ties. Corts answer with seven-run seventh including Figueroa two-run single. P. Dondero, M. Mihalski, addition J. Warner two hits each. Dondero and Warner HRs. Dragons with one error, hosts a handful and 13 hits led by 1B j. Perry 3x3, 7 rbi, 2 HR, bb. Salisbury 2-2 heading into Sunday's rematch.

Sea Gulls enters campaign 24th in D3 preseason poll where RDragons are No. 1 -- whatever that means at this point.

Cortland cupboard far from bare. Pitching staff gets big boost with return of A. Weingarten who at 9-1 led Corts to WS crown in '15 although ineffective in today's relief stint. Didn't play in '16. Capt. J. Cook (8-1, 2.96 era) returns along with soph K. Curry (4-0), J. Winters, J. Martin, P. Healey. Catching corps in good hands  with jr capt. J. Teague (.339, 43 games), jr capt. M. Personius (.304, 36g) and D1 Canisius transfer J. Massa.

Infield features S. Figueroa (.349, 50g), M. Michalski who returns from injury, jr P. Schetter, sr capt. S. Getman (.306, 25g), and D. Schweitzer. Two imports who played in the southern tier and then at South Carolina's Erskine College are soph B. Kozak (Hancock) and sr T. Phillips (Sidney).

Oufield fixture is sr N. Hart (.350, 50g) who wasn't in opening lineup, jr of/inf R. Nuzzi  (37g), soph of/inf P. Dondero (.313, 42g) and jr. newcomer J. Warner.

Key losses were 1-2 hitters F. Ricci and A. Clock, the clutch C. Ziemendorf and two-time pitching all-star S. Lamando and ace closer T. Parry.

As previously stated Cortland will not make its normal Florida swing, but instead play stiff outings at mid-Atlantic foes before the conference liftoff at New Paltz

Cortland for the second day deals Salisbury a defeat, Sunday's margin 7-2 in sunny Maryland where RDragons break out to 7-0 lead after their fifth at-bat. Transfer P. Merryweather tosses four no-hit innings for starters. The 6-4, 225 lefty exits after 62 pitches (4.1inn, 2h, 2r, 2er, 2bb, 4k). Three relievers follow with soph lefty A. Barnes going 3.1 innings (1h, 2bb, 7k) and fr A. Visconte working quick 1-2-3 ninth. Merryweather, jr from Baldwinsville, 17-3 in two junior college seasons and D1 College of Charleston recruit.

Catching addition J. Massa, former D1 Canisius regular, drove in Cortland's first two runs with bases loaded single to center in the fourth. Five-run fifth features Massa two-bi double to left, S. Figueroa two-bi triple to right and M. Michalski bi single. Massa batting for the second time in the inning is robbed of another two-bi blow. Figueroa follows Saturday 5x6, 4r, 4bi game with 2x3, 2r, 2bi, 2bb performance. Massa goes 2x4 and first-time Dragon B. Kozak 2x3

Cortland with nine hits, no errors in building its record to 2-0 heading into another southern junket next weekend. Salisbury, 2-3, manage four hits and one error. Sea Gulls use four pitchers. Starter B. Keith throws four-plus innings (4h, 6r, 6er, 6bb, 2k)

Merryweather tosses four no-hit innings for starters. The 6-4, 225 lefty exits after 62 pitches (4.1inn, 2h, 2r, 2er, 2bb, 4k). Three relievers follow with soph lefty A. Barnes going 3.1 innings (1h, 2bb, 7k) and fr A. Visconte working quick 1-2-3 ninth. Merryweather, jr from Baldwinsville, 17-3 in two junior college seasons and D1 College of Charleston recruit.

Catching addition J. Massa, former D1 Canisius regular, drove in Cortland's first two runs with bases loaded single to center in the fourth. Five-run fifth features Massa two-bi double to left, S. Figueroa two-bi triple to right and M. Michalski bi single. Massa batting for the second time in the inning is robbed of another two-bi blow. Figueroa follows Saturday 5x6, 4r, 4bi game with 2x3, 2r, 2bi, 2bb performance. Massa goes 2x4 and first-time Dragon B. Kozak 2x3

Cortland with nine hits, no errors in building its record to 2-0 heading into another southern junket next weekend. Salisbury, 2-3, manage four hits and one error. Sea Gulls use four pitchers. Starter B. Keith throws four-plus innings (4h, 6r, 6er, 6bb, 2k)

Coach says he is going to limit innings to keep pitchers fresh.  Look for this trend all season.

This makes sense. Cortland has lots of pitching depth so there's no need to wear guys out in February.

Limiting pitchers' outings at this time of year? No surprise there. Has always been Joe Brown's M.O. Has a flock of arms and will test many in game situations .......as always

Cortland travels for upcoming weekend action vs. Susquehanna PA on Saturday morning at Newport News VA, then plays host Christopher Newport that afternoon. Meets Randolph Macon at its Ashland VA campus on Sunday.

Susquehanna lost narrow regional final to RDragons last year and went 33-16 behind returning All-America jr catcher Z. Leone. Sus opens Friday at C. Newport.

Chris Newport is 4-5 after edging debuting Elmira 6-5 on Tuesday followed by 7-5 setback to Randolph Macon. R-M 6-0 with three game sweep including two shutouts of RPI last weekend. R-M is home to opening New Paltz on Friday

Cortland grabs fourth win five starts with 11-6 win at Randolph Macon in Ashland VA. RDragons  quite meek early, falling behind 2-0 in the first inning as lefty P. Merryweather struggles (1inn, 5h, 2r, 2er). Hosts' fr righty starter M. Nickles faces just 10 Cortlanders over three innings, striking out five. But in the CSt fourth J. Massa pinch-hits grand slam and M. Mihalski single adds fifth run. Cortland ahead thereafter with M. Personius delivering solo hr in the ninth. Personius, J. Teague, Massa, S. Figueroa with two hits apiece. Corts with 11 hits, three errors and deploy six pitchers. P. Boice (3inn, 1h, 2bb, 1k) in relief of Merryweather, and R. Smith (3.1inn, 1h, 1r, 1k) the most effective. Hurlers yield 12 hits, 5er, walk three, fan four. RM Yellowjackets with four errors accounting for four Cortland unearned runs. RM 6-2, having lost to New Paltz earlier in the week 
   Cortland in Baltimore next weekend for Saturday games vs. Johns Hopkins and Frostburg, and Sunday vs. Scranton

Oswego divides doubleheader with Wesley in Dover DE, winning 7-2 but slipping 4-3 in a pair of seven inning tilts.

Hamilton clubs two-run homer in the fifth and M. Kutscher solo blast in the seventh. Kutscher and L. Olsson with two hits each as Lakers amass 12. Wesley loses for the first time in four games and held to six hits by M. Cavanagh (5inn, 2h, 2bb, 10k) and B. Zywicki (2inn, 4h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 2k). Oswego guilty of one error, Wesley two

Oneonta 11-2 and 7-5 victims of Dickinson PA in doubleheader action in Flemington NJ. Season opener for both.

   Second game finds the longball to be Oneonta undoing. After just taking 5-4 lead in the bottom of the eighth on B. LaVenture rbi double, he takes the RDragon mound in the ninth and gives up one-out two-run homer and two-out solo roundtripper in his only pitching inning. Dickinson slugs three home runs among 12 hits. Oneonta gets eight hits, B. Torres and C. Saitch two apiece. N. Ponesse tosses OSt first 4.1 innings (4h, 4r, 4er, 2bb, 2k). J.

Always chuckle when I see the mid-to-late March home games on a schedule. While some years the weather has been nice enough to play, by in large things usually don't work out. Though, I have to say, it has been reasonably nice out the last few days despite the large amount of snow still on the ground. Hopefully the weather clears up by this weekend.

Cortland made to look very ordinary by Utica Tech until erupting for four runs in the eighth inning of 5-3 win in home opener. RDragons checked to four hits and trail 3-1. Escape when pinch-hitter J. Massa doubles to start the eighth. P. Schetter walks and J. Teague bunt singles to load the bases. Pinch-hitter S. Getman clears the bases with double to left-center and scores on C. BeVard single. M. Harrington pitches final two scoreless, one hit, one K innings as the second reliever. Frosh righty A. Visconte solid start (5inn, 1h, 2bb, 5k). Cortland leaves bases jammed in the first and finally takwes 1-0 lead in the sixth on Teague sac fly. Tech pulls reversal with three run seventh. R. Smith single ties it preceding D.Rose two-out two-run double to left-center. Three runs unearned. S. Haney (3inn, 1h, 3bb, 1k) and D. Jones (3inn, 2h, 1r, 1er, 1bb) keep Corts quiet early. Quite the showing by one-win Tech in 24-yeear coach K. Edick final season. Tech catcher C. Manderson former integral part of Cortland program. Dragons use 20 players. Tech 3-4-1, Cortland 5-8-1.

Once again the weather is raising havoc here in NY. The North Country is so wet it may never dry out. Several feet of snow late in March followed by the monsoon season all last week and this week. I may not see a Plattsburgh State baseball or softball game until May. 3 baseball games already cancelled and Cortland 3 game series will be the next chance for the Cardinals to play at home on April 14th and 15th. I really want to see some  of that action so will be disappointed if those games are cancelled or relocated to another venue.

Supposed to be 58 and sunny on Sunday followed by 71 and sunny on Monday. Rain returns on Tuesday and again next Friday. A couple of dry, sunny days followed by rainy days won't solve our wet field problem though.

Snowing lightly and 30 degrees as I type this. 


jdex thanks for all the results from the YAC...appreciate the effort, plus k. Hope you are doing well. Checking in on a certain player from Southern Maine from time to time. Is the older brother still playing pro ball this year and where?

Oswego quite serious about this regular season pennant judging by today's 12-2 wipeout of visiting Oneonta. Lakers score five in the first inning and four in the second to kayo RDragons' ace T. Bond. Oswego within game of clinching. Plays Oneonta two games Saturday. AND Lakers get cherry on top! Leading off again in CF is catalyst W. Randall who hasn't played since April 10 and previously was AWOL since starting appearance in Florida. Still missing from Oswego cast is strong hitting OF M.

      Oswego 13-3, 26-8. Oneonta 5-11, 14-18

Brockport keeps flicker of a title chance alive with 4-2 win over New Paltz at Bport. NP posts two-run first inning answered by Eagle L. Miceli tying two-run home run to left-center in bottom of the inning. Port scores go-ahead run on error in the third and D. Cala groundout puts fourth run home. A. Spindler WP (8inn, 8h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 3k). J. Bender 3x4; L. Gilbert 2x4, r; A. Brooks 2x4, r, 2bh, sac. C. Donachie LP (5inn, 8h, 4r, 3er, 1bb, 4k, 2hbp). J. Williams 3x4 for Eagles. Bport 4-10-0, NP 2-8-1
      Brockport 12-4, 22-15. New Paltz 7-9, 16-15

Plattsburgh scores three in the seventh and one in the eighth to lick Fredonia 6-4. Freds out to 4-2 lead on K. Yirinec two-run triple in the fifth and two-run sixth. Cardinals begin comeback when J. Craft singles home seventh inning run. Error scores tying run and failed pickoff lets in go-head marker. N. Clark doubles home insurance run an inning later. Guesting Devils fill the bases in the ninth. Bid snuffed by J. Adams' second save. F. Finkbeiner WP (2-0, 2.1inn, 2bb, 1k). P. Bryant in five inning start (6h, 4r, 3er, 3bb, 4k, 1hbp). Winner's freshmen K. Mori 2x4, r, 2bh; A. Follmer 2x4, r, bi; S. Bryant 2x4, 2r, sb. L. Kuczewski LP (3-4, 7inn, 10h, 6r, 4er, 1bb, 4k). Pburgh 6-11-2, Fredonia 4-6-2

No conference tournament per a release. Oswego State declared the champion and NCAA automatic qualifier.

http://www.sunyacsports.com/sports/bsb/2016-17/releases/20170505f4sc0r

OSWEGO, N.Y. – The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) has cancelled its 2017 Baseball Championship originally scheduled May 5-7 at SUNY Oswego due to the saturating weather forecast.

As the top seed and by conference operating code, Oswego has been declared the 2017 SUNYAC Champion and will receive the automatic berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament. The four-team championship also featured Cortland, Brockport and New Paltz. Teams that do not earn automatic qualifiers are eligible for at-large berths based on a variety of NCAA criteria for Division III baseball.

Looks cool -- something to keep in mind with six-team regionals is that there are two possibilities for how the bracket goes down. It diverges after Game 6, depending on whether one team or two teams have been eliminated by that point.

I had to take some time to move on from the game after my second career World Series trip did not end in our favor in 2014, but glad to reconnect with Coach Brown this year. Didn't get to see much of Cortland this year (just game 1 of the double header on Easter Sunday and listened in whenever I could while working in NYC), but saw the potential in the team's hitting. Hoping JB'a pitchers can continue their strong season and hold up during this brutal 8 team regional. Worst format ever, by the way... can't wait for the new regional/super regional format to take place. Stop the noise, JB! We are C-State!

Quite the Oswego comeback in regional opener. Lakers score four in the bottom of the ninth to nip Ithaca 11-10 on W. Randall's two-run bases loaded single. IC pitching implodes in the final frame. Uses four in the inning. Walks set up Oswego rally before Randall delivers his fourth hit. Finishes 4x5, 2r, 2bi, bb. Bombers' S. Little 4x5, 3r, 2bi, hr. Ithaca 15-11 hit advantage. T. Cronin pitches first six inning for Oswego, B. Nolan the final three. Oswego 3-0 first inning lead but trails 8-3 into a four-run home sixth. IC adds two runs in the ninth including A. Gallagher solo home run.

Well fought game by Oswego, it's going to be very difficult for someone to challenge them tomorrow. Great thing for New York baseball! Cortland off to a hot start in the first inning of their game against Earlham.... seem to have their started timed well, could be a rough day for the Quakers if this continues all game. Hope JB has the pitching to make it through this tournament. Would love to see 2 SUNYAC teams face off in Appleton.

That certainly makes sense.
Was just going by how schedule currently lays out (Mideast preview). Then assume should Cortland survive Game 12 and Game 13, Game 14 would carry into Monday

Final:  .......Cortland 22-4 over Keystone in elimination game. T. Phillips grand slam in the fourth makes it 8-2. Phillips in 11-run sixth adds three-run home run for eight rbi in the elimination game. P. Schetter solo home run in the second, knocks in fourth run with single for Cortland and is finishes 4x4. A. Chaszar two-run two-out homer for Keystone cuts margin to 4-2 at the time. M. Harrington toes rubber for RDragons till exiting in the fourth. Giants leave sacks full in the first and fourth.
     Have a feeling runs will be plentiful in this one. Just didn't see it one-way! Cortland faces regional unbeaten host Washington & Jefferson Presidents on Monday at noon. CSt needs to win twice Monday vs. W&J

Earlier, Cortland shows some pitching depth .......A. Weingarten on the mound for Sunday morning elimination game vs. DePauw and throws complete game 9-0, five-hit shutout. Retires 16 straight Tigers from third to eighth innings.
    T. Phillips with third inning sac fly, S. Figueroa with fourth inning two-out ground-rule two-rbi double to kayo DePauw starter as RDragons build 5-0 lead
   In Cortland sixth M. Perivolaris triples, C. BeVard rbi single and T. Phillips rbi single that takes weird twist. Phillips' bat declared illegal by plate umpire for apparent third out of the sixth inning. Discussion ensues over Phillips batting with broken bat. Out call reversed. Phillips hits safely. J. Teague follows with rbi double. Cortland with 14 hits
   DePauw leaves runners on second and third in the third when Weingarten registers two strikeouts. Earlier centerfielder P. Dondero makes fine snare with runners aboard

Oswego falls 7-6 to two-run homer to Southern Maine's Z. Quintal in the top of the ninth. Blow comes off Lakers' T. Cronin who was on in relief. Title game of NY Regional between same two combatants upcoming.

Cortland comes up short in its Mideast Region seventh game and loses 6-3 to host Washington & Jefferson after forcing final game with 7-6 win earlier Monday. RDragons in the deciding contest hold early 3-0 lead on N. Budge rbi single and double. Season-long reliever P. Boice draws starting assignment and serves four-plus innings before yielding to frosh help. Can't hold off W&J surge while W&J top starter R. Groves shuts down CSt. Hurls complete game for 10th win in 12 decisions.
      Cortland winds up 38-9.

Cortland ranked first nationally in Division III in the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper 2018 preseason poll. Ranked first in the preseason for the third straight year. Last spring, the RDragons finished 38-9 and tied for ninth nationally in the NCAA Division III playoffs, one win shy of making their fourth straight World Series appearance.

Cortland's current run of 25 straight NCAA tournament appearances is the longest active streak in Division III and the third longest in any NCAA division behind Division I schools Florida State (40) and Cal St.-Fullerton (26).

The RDragons open 2018 season with games at #20 Salisbury on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 17-18. Play at #17 Johns Hopkins March 4, as well a home-and-home series with #21 Ithaca and three SUNYAC games versus #15 Oswego.

D3baseball.com preseason national poll released in mid-January.

Cortland on Sunday outlasts Salisbury 9-6 in 14 innings in Maryland to begin the campaign 2-0. A total of 457 pitches thrown by 17 pitchers in 4 hour, 30 minute marathon.
   Pinch-hitting J. Teague delivers one-out two-run triple to left followed by C. BeVard (4x5, 3r, 3bb) run-scoring double to right-center in deciding rally to make a winner of RDragon reliever Steven SALISBURY!. He gets final six outs after predecessor N. Ernst goes impressive 5.1 innings (1h, 4k, 3bb). Three earlier relievers not so fortunate following starter C. Dufresne (4inn, 2h, 0r, 3bb, 5k).
   Corts never trail. M. Personius (4x8) drives in first run with third inning single. Margin grows to 5-0 in four-run fifth featuring three opening singles to fill the sacks followed by three walks and run-producing wild pitch. Sea Gulls peck away and finally pull into 6-6 tie on J. Meekins (3x6) and J. Perry solo home runs in the seventh.
   Salisbury trots out 11 pitchers, J. Barry (5.1inn, 4h, 2r, 2er, 4bb, 5k) the most effective moving to the mound from third base. Barry the hard-luck LP. Each side with several stellar defensive plays in contest with but one error on sunny, cool afternoon. Deep Dragons put the services of 18 position players to work.

I kinda love how Joe Brown is the only coach in any sport at D3 (with whom I am familiar, anyway) that absolutely moves heaven and earth to play his maximum number of games.

Not a lot of surprises so far in the SUNYAC.  Those teams that are contending are getting wins and those not getting losses.  The loss to Roanoke tells more about the rising Roanoke program than Cortland's success this season.

     First game: Corts use their only hits in the first seven innings -- second inning doubles from J. Massa and M. Perivolaris to help provide 2-0 lead for promising jr lefty starter I. Hudson (4.2inn, 3h, 2r, 2er, 3bb, 4k). Frosties even at 2-2 in the fifth, then splurge for six runs in the sixth starting with back-to-back solo home runs by J. Paredes (3x5) to center and P. Bosley to right off N. Ernst. Another reliever walks two and gives way to J. Casey (4inn, 4h, 2r, 0er, 1bb, 5k) who yields L. Corrigan three-run homer to right to cap sixth inning uprising. Dragons get three runs back in the eighth, two via M. Personius no-out double to right. Frostburg lefty B. Adam facing all-righty Cortland starting lineup goes seven innings (2h, 2r, 1er, 4bb, 8k).

      Second Game: Dragons up 3-1 on rbi blows by G. Heaton and N. Budge till Hopkins ties it 3-3 with two-run sixth when further harm is averted with doubleplay. Play into the 10th when Hopkins' D. Bowman leads off with game-ending home run off reliever F. Vesuvio who exchanged his regular outfield chores for the pitching slab. Enters in the ninth and retires the side. Takes over for lefty S. Zafonte (2.2inn, 1h, 3k) who relieves starter M. Harrington (5.1inn, 3h, 3r, 3er, 2bb, 4k). Hopkins wins despite just five hits plus five errors.  Cortland manages just six hits (Budge 2x4) off A. Ross (5.2inn, 3h, 3r, 1er, 4bb, 9k) and winning sidewinder J. Hejka (4.1inn, 3h, 4k). Thirteen Dragons fan and they leave 10 runners on base. Cortland 3-6-0, Hopkins 4-5-5

Mennonites lead 4-0 after two innings. Fred tie 4-4 in the eighth on key N. Fiore and S. Zaprowski safeties. Zaprowski from rightfield throws out runner at the plate in Mennonite eighth.

New Paltz in Auburndale FL splits action with D3 No. 4 ranked Washington & Jefferson in pair of seven inning outings. Seven-run sixth inning propels Hawks to 10-5 upset in the first game. NP within an out of sweeping but loses second game 6-5.
          First Game: Up against it in 5-3 late deficit, New Paltz breaks loose for telltale seven runs. R. Frost rbi single brings Hawks within a run before an error sends home the tying run. D. Campbell hits go-ahead rbi triple to left-center, J. Williams has rbi single and C. Moran two-rbi single, part of a 16 hit attack. Campbell 3x5, r, bi; Moran 2h, A. Pantano 2h, 2r and J.

       Second Game: Tied 3-3 into the bottom of the sixth inning, Hawks' A. Pantano leads off with single and eventually scores go-ahead run on throwing error. First two W&L batters go out in the seventh. Then three runs on three hits and two errors crush New Paltz which still manages a run in the seventh on C. Moran double. Pantano 3x3, 2r, bi, 2bh, 3bh, sb; Moran 2x3, r, bi, 2bh, bb; J. Williams 1x2, 2r, 2bb, sb.  L. Christy LP (6.2inn, 8h, 5r, 5er, 2bb, 4k. W&L 6-9-1, NP 5-10-2
         NP 5-5 plays Monday vs. 6-2 Babson, Tuesday vs. 3-3 Western New England and travels home. W&L 7-4

Oneonta drops both ends of Sunday doubleheader with Merchant Marine at Kings Pt. Nearly no-hit in 3-0 seven-inning first game and done in by the longball in 4-2 seven inning nightcap.
           First Game: RDragon J. Zinko singles to left with two outs in the final inning to spoil J. Raab's mighty pitching bid. Raab walks Oneonta leadoff batter B. Torres to start the game. Swipes second but doubled up on line drive. Marines immediately post three-run first inning against N. Ponesse (5inn, 7h, 3r, 2er, 4bb, 3k, 1hbp). Raab retires nine in a row before hitting D. Beatty. Then gets next 10 Dragons prior to Zinko base knock. Last of Raab nine strikeouts ends it. Merch Marine 3-8-0, Oneonta 0-1-2
        Second Game: Scoreless battle into the third inning and Dragons retire the first two Marines. Error prolongs the inning allowing M. Barnes to belt three-home run to right D. Beatty doubles for a fourth inning OSt run and D. Geloso single to left in the fifth narrows the score to 3-2. Host adds run in the sixth. M. Dunne LP (4.2inn, 3h, 3r, 0er, 2bb, 0k). Merch Marine 4-6-3, Oneona 2-4-4
     Oneonta 6-9 and Tuesday date with Mt. St. Mary ppd; Merch Marine 10-2

Oswego hangs around Florida on Saturday long enough to outlast Southern Maine 15-14. M. Dellicarri scores winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Has one-out double to center, takes second on wild pitch before two walks fill the bases. Wild pitch decides it, bringing the Lakers all the way back from 11-3 hole at the midway marker. Score six in the fifth inning on six hits and six runs over the final four innings including M. DeBlasio three-run home run for 14-14 tie through eight innings. USM Huskies fill the bases in the ninth before reliever M. Bowman gets flyout to center for third out. Total of 37 hits -- 18 by Oswego including seven Lakers with multiple hits. Dellicarri, J. Barnes, R. Donnelly three each. B. Nicholson and DeBlasio with three rbi each. Nine different Lakers score.  Oswego 15-18-2, USM 14-19-3

jdex,

Glad to see you're still doing the baseball updates. Hope the winter has treated you well in your sunny location. Winter doesn't want to leave us here up North. Many years I've been on the golf course by now, for an early round, but this year I think we're still a couple of weeks away from that.

The SUNYAC powers don't seem as dominant this year. Perhaps it's a matter of getting a handle on things. I still expect Cortland and Oswego to be the top pair in the YAC, but getting challenged by some of the other schools, that are usually among the also rans. Certainly hope my Cardinals can put together a better campaign than they have the past few years. A YAC playoff berth would be nice but also a bit of a reach.

Keep up the good work, I remain your #1 fan. Plus K!

Oswego claws back for 11-7 dismissing of Rochester in Laker-land where home team's seven-run eighth inning prevents the upset. Oswego finds itself in 7-2 hole after five innings and 7-4 after seven. Turnaround starts innocently -- K. Hylas walk precedes strikeout. Inning doesn't end till Hylas hits into doubleplay. Six hits starting with pinch-hitting M. Kutscher single sink the Jackets. B. Nicholson greets pitching change with 3-2 count two-rbi double to left for 7-7 tie. M. Delllicarri single puts Oswego ahead. J. Barnes, E. Holton (2bh), M. DeBlasio rbi hits ensue. Laker pitchers (seven in all) have tough time harnessing UR's D. Bankovich whose two-run homer in the fourth ties it 2-2 and three-run homer climaxes five-run, two-hit, three hit batters fifth for 7-2 UR lead. Bankovich 3x5, 2r, 5bi, 2hr. OSt's Nicholson 4x5, 2r, 2bi, 2 2bh, 2sb; Dellicarri 2h, 3bi; DeBlasio 2h, Hylas 2h. Laker N. Demarco starting pitcher and tosses 3.2 innings. R. Donnelly notches final three outs. T. McConway, fourth and final UR moundsman, has .2inn, 5h, 4r, 4er, 0bb, 0k line. Oswego 11-15-4, Rochester 7-8-5
     Oswego 17-6 and Fri/Sat home vs. Brockport. Rochester 6-10

Brockport trails St. John Fisher 5-0 through the first inning, comes back to tie 6-6 but can't stem Cardinals late attack and falls 10-6 in Pittsfield. Port's N. Malachowski unloads three-run home run in the top of the sixth to deadlock the score. Fisher responds with go-ahead run in the bottom of the sixth (A. Mantova rbi single to center), one run in the seventh and two in the eighth (S. Eisenmenger two-run homer to left). Star Card Eisenmenger (3x4, 2r, 5bi, 2bh, 3bh, hr, ibb) an Eagle thorn for sure. Doubles home the first two runs and triples home a run in the fifth. Mate Mantova 3x4, 2r, bi, sb. Bport's D. DeBlasiis 2x4, r, bi, 3bh; J. LaRosa 2x4, 2bi, 2bh. Six Eagles pitch, No. 5 C.

Oswego already 7-0 leader through seven innings -- bolstered by five-run, seven-hit fourth ignited by M. Dellicarri, J. Barnes doubles. L. Olsson lends two-rbi single to left. Ten Lakers bat.  RDragons finally break through against starter N. Demarco and two relievers for four runs in the bottom of the eighth -- P. Schetter two-run double. Cortland manages just three hits against WP Demarco (3-0, 7inn, 3h, 2bb, 5k, 2hbp, 107pitches) in his second start of the season. Oswego in the ninth ravages four CSt pitchers. E.

It comes down to Cortland and Oswego for the title. Regardless of the result, I think both teams have done what they've needed to do to make the NCAA tournament.

Cortland '19 campaign opener Saturday in San Antonio now single game, and twinbill Sunday vs. host Trinity TX. Fickle weather causing some problems after temps in the 70s earlier this week and expected next week. However, weekend calls for 40s and rain Saturday, 50s and rain Sunday. Both programs highly ranked as usual. 

RDragons lose much talent both hitting and pitching. Top mound returnees are lefties Jake Casey (50inn, 4-2, 3.55era) and Isiah Hudson (7-1, 48inn, 2.42ers. Interesting pitching pickup is ex-Oswego righthander Mitchell Cavanaugh -- '17 first team all-SUNYAC. Bats back include Colin BeVard (.306, 46games), Antonio Pregama (.355. 44g), Marco Perivolaris (.337, 33g), Joe Tardif (.400). Additions include touted Westchester CC imports Scott Giordano (.435, 7hr 40g and All-American honors) and Paul Franzese (.379, 7hr, 39g)

Cortland drops 9-8 opening contest to host Trinity TX in San Antonio where cool, damp conditions limit scheduled twinbill to single game. Hopeful for Sunday pair. Series first game settled in ninth inning when Trinity strikes for tying run on rbi single to left and game-winner on misplayed fly ball to shallow center, one of five C-St. errors.

RDragons grab 4-0 lead with two-run first and fourth innings. Newcomer Scottie Giordano begins things with leadoff single and scores on Marcos Perivolaris two-run double to left. Wyatt Myers and Giordano singles drive in fourth inning scores. Matt Valin pitches perfect first three innings. Trinity pushes over two runs in the fourth and makes it 4-4 in the sixth, then tallies three in the seventh for 7-4 lead. Cortland erupts for four runs and the lead in the eighth. Myers' double delivers two and pair of throwing errors two more. Trinity Tigers with three errors.

CF Giordano 2x4, 2r, 2bh, bi; newcomer P. Franzese 2x4, 2r, bb in DH role; 1B Myers 2x3, 2r, 3bi, 2bh, bb. Corts with eight hits. Lefty starter Valin allows 1h in 3.1inn with 1k, 1bb. Onetime Siena pitcher Dan Hobbs (2.1inn, 2h, 2r, 1er, 1k), lefty Isiah Hudson (1inn, 3h, 3r, 2er, 2k), John Reda (1.2inn, 3h, 2r, 0er, 1k, 1bb). Like Giordana and Franzese, Reda from Westchester CC

Cortland finds veteran Trinity TX quite formidable in Sunday action in cold, overcast San Antonio and loses 10-5 verdict. Second game of possible doubleheader cancelled, leaving Cortland with an 0-2 weekend against the likewise debuting Tigers.

Host Tigers send 10 to the plate in four-run, five-hit first inning. RDragons in major futile chase mode thereafter. C-land uses six pitchers -- starter Z. Durant (LP), R. Flansburg, J. Casey, N. Morena, A. Barnes, M. Cavanagh. Trinity with 15 hits (John Tucker 3x5, r, 5bi) and errorless defense. Cortland collects 13 hits -- Scottie Giordano 3x5,  2bh; Wyatt Myers 2x4, r, 2bi, hr; catcher James Varian 3x5, 2bi, hr, 2bh. Four Dragon errors. Trinity frontline pitcher James Nittoli wins it (5.1inn, 8h, 2r, 2er, 0bb, 6k)

         Lefty Matt Valin (5inn, 2h, 1bb, 5k, 74p) and righty Dan Hobbs (4inn, 2h, 3k, 41p) combine to deal Sea Gulls first setback in four starts in Friday's first game.

Seventeen pitchers used in the nightcap, eight by Cortland whose staff excels for the most part as do Gull moundsmen including starter D. Frake's four hitless innings. CSt  starter Zack Durant works 4.1innings of two-hit ball. Frosh Shane Mugnolo finishes strong when Gulls put winning run on second with no outs. Cortland 3-6-1, Salisbury 3-5-0

     T. McCarthy (7inn, 3h, 2bb, 8k) and B. Greenspan (2inn, 1h, 3bb, 3k) hurl Port past 0-3 Gwynedd Mercy whose five errors provide five unearned Eagle scores. Game scoreless til the sixth. Port 8-5-2, G-M 0-4-5
     Eagles against 3-0 Kean overcome 8-1 two inning hole to take 9-8 lead in the top of the sixth on A. Eaton (3x4, 3bi, bb) two-run double to right. Kean quick response four-run bottom of the sixth. M. Minton, fourth of five pitchers, absorbs loss. Port 9-11-0, Kean 13-9-2

Oneonta cancels weekend action vs. Mary Washington in Fredericksburg VA. RDragons open last weekend at Ferrum VA and go 0-3, falling 8-2, 4-0 and 16-2.

Oswego idle till March 2-3 with two games each at Salisbury MD and Wesley DE

New Paltz calls off weekend play at Catholic U. in Washington, weather the culprit. Hawks in Winchester VA for March 1 game vs. host Shenandoah and March 2 contests vs. Ithaca and Shenandoah

strange to see Cortland with more losses than wins ever, although it's still early. Are they down or will they just start trucking NY teams like usual?

Caz...they should be ok but the past couple years the other NY teams have started to catch up a bit.  Especially Oswego of course but there are 4-6 legit NCAA teams in the region and Cortland will be challenged a bit more than usual.  Most likely either a first or second place finish in the YAC...they will need to take care of business a bit more than usual.  30 wins is the norm for the Dragons...and they will have to breath a lot of fire to get there this time around.  The fielding percentage is astoundingly low for them.  .266 batting average but that will go up against the YAC bottom feeders and some of the non conference teams they scheduled.  25-27 wins and on the edge going into the tournament is a good bet for this years team.  But they can still pitch pretty darn well and that keeps them in any game.

Brockport stuns Plattsburgh 10-9 Saturday on Tom Kretzler bottom of the ninth two-out two-run home run to right after visiting Cardinals score five times in the top of the ninth for 9-8 lead.

Triola, who had win and save in Friday wins, gets fly to right for second out. Kretzler deposits first pitch over rightfield fence.

With one regular season conference game of consequence remaining -- Sunday's New Paltz scrap at Plattsburgh, three teams are bidding for fourth and final spot in next week's playoff picture at Cortland. Plattsburgh, whose 18th year coach Kris Doorey earns his 300th program win today, claims postseason slot with Sunday win. Otherwise, Plattsburgh, Brockport and Oneonta wind up tied requiring tie-breaking measures.

Cortland soundly defeats Brockport twice Saturday, 18-3 in the seven-inning first game and 11-4 in the second game in which CSter C. BeVard has two inside-the-park home runs in the same inning at URochester. Winning streak reaches 11 as RDragons complete 18-0 regular season conference record. Defeat Port 6-2 Thursday in series start in Newark NY
     First Game: RDragons score 18 runs in five of the first six innings and take full advantage of six Brockport errors. Lefty M. Valen WP (7-0, 5inn, 2h, 1r, 1er, 0bb, 6k). Sign of things to come when first two Cortland batters reach on errors. W. Myers drives home two with single, one of four hits in the opening inning. Dragons finish their run-making in the sixth with six on seven hits including P. Franzese and C. BeVard two-run homers, Franzese's to left-center, BeVard's to right. Corts with seven extra base blows among 18 total hits. J. Varian 3x4, r, 3bi, 3bh, sb; Myers 2x2, 3r, 2bi, 2bb; BeVard 2h, 3r, 3bi, 3bh, hr; D. Coleman 2x3, bb; M. Perivolaris 2bi. T. McCarthy LP (.1inn, 4h, 5r, 3er). Eagles use seven hurlers. Corts 18-18-1, Bport 3-4-6
        Second Game: Cortland goes on nine-run tear in the third inning after Eagles get Dragons' attention with two runs in the bottom of the first inning. BeVard belts inside-the-park home run pair in the nine-run eruption. Circles the basepaths with clout to center, then slugs homer to right-center. S. Kippen triple cashes in two more runs in the inning when Cortland sends 13 to the plate. Reliever J. Casey (WP, 5.2inn, 1h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 6k) and closer N. Morena (2.1inn, 1h, 1bb, 4k) put clamps on the Eagles -- save T. Kretzler second home run of the day. BeVard winds up 4x4, 3r, 3bi, 2 hr, 2sb, hbp and has 4 hr in series; Kippen 2x5, r, 2bi, 3bh. Kretzler and A. Cook each drive in two Bport runs. Starter B. Greenspan LP (2.2inn, 8h, 8r, 2er, 2bb, 3k). Corts 11-12-2, Bport 4-4-1
    Cortland 18-0, 29-9-1. Brockport 6-12, 14-19

Plattsburgh rebounds for 11-6 second game win over New Paltz following NP 16-3 romp in first contest of conference doubleheader in cool, cloudy Pburgh. Cardinals with life for fourth and final tourney slot.
        First Game: Cellar-dwelling Hawks go on five-run rampage in third inning and seven-run burst in the eighth. Cap off festivities with J. Ganca ninth-inning two-out grand slam. Pitcher J. Stybel goes the distance (9inn, 10h, 3r, 3er, 0bb, 6k, 121p). NP third inning antics start with M. Boccarossa single and J. Francisco, R. Frost bunt hits to fill the bases. M. McGee infield single ties it 1-1 followed by D. Stazler rbi go-ahead groundout. Hawks with five hits in the frame.  Hold 5-2 lead into the eighth. Seven-run knockout spree has six hits including D. Campbell two-run single to right, and three Pburgh errors. For NP among 22 hits, M. McGee 5x6, 3r, bi; R. Frost 4x6, 3r, bi, sb; Boccarossa 3x5, 2r, sb; D. Juechter 3x5, r, 2bi, 2bh, bb; Ganca 4bi, hr. F. Finkbeiner LP (7.1inn, 13h, 6r, 4er, 1bb, 2k, 102p). Cardinal S. Lydon 4x4, 2r, bi, 2bh, 3bh, sb. NP 16-22, 0, Pburgh 3-10-4
     Second Game: With big innings the call of the day, Plattsburgh scores all 11 runs in the second and third innings of the seven-inning nightcap. Reliever R. Whalen halts Hawks after they take 5-4 lead in the top of the third inning. Whalen goes final 4.1inn (WP, 6h, 1r, 1er, 0bb, 1k, 48p) after M. Triola (2.2inn, 43p) starts. Burgh goes ahead 4-1 in the bottom of the third when S. Bryant draws bases loaded walk and K. Kowalowski single clears loaded bases. Eleven Cardinals bat in seven-run bottom of the third. Five hit safely and three walk. R. Cipriano and S. Alvarez with rbi doubles and S. Bryant rbi triple. Five Cards with two hit games: S. Bryant (2r, 4bi, 2bb), Kowalowski (4bi), Cipriano, Alvarez (2r), E. Matz (2sb). A. Amoroso LP (2inn, 7h, 9r, 7er, 4bb, 0k, 66p). M. McGee 3x4, 2 2bh to go 8x10 on the day; J. Francisco 2h, 2r; J. Ganca 2h, bi for NP. Pburgh 11-12-1, NP 6-12-2
      New Paltz 4-13, 12-17. Plattsburgh 6-11, 11-18. Series finale Sunday

Oswego drills Fredonia 11-3 Saturday night at OCC in Syracuse. Despite setback, earlier Saturday results assure Fredonia of third place in conference playoff picture. Oswego and Fredonia will meet in tourney first round.
       Lakers break 2-2 tie in the fifth when B. Nicholson socks two-run double and scores on N. Chilson single. Virtually cruise from there, later getting M. Dellicarri solo home run and then four runs in the ninth as Dellicarri has three-run double. Nicholson single and fifth rbi of the night concludes the scoring. N. DiMarco WP (7inn, 6h, 3r, 2er, 1bb, 6k). Nicholson 3x4, r, 5bi, 2 2bh; R. Enos 2x4, 2r, sb; L. Olsson 1x2, 2r, bb; Dellicarri 2x3, 3r, 4bi, 2bb, 2bh, hr. L. Kuczewski LP (7inn, 8h, 7r, 5er, 5bb, 4k). Oswego 11-10-1, Freds 3-6-1
      Oswego 12-4, 24-12. Fredonia 8-8, 11-19. Supposed to play Sunday DH at Maine-Endwell HS near Binghamton

with rain in the forecast and the games having no effect whatsoever on the standings, I wonder if Fredonia and Oswego will even bother making the drive down to Endwell.

New Paltz at Plattsburgh finale, Cardinals in with a win or a rainout. Hawks can send Oneonta to Cortland in Plattsburgh's place.

It must be killing Joe Brown to end his regular season with only 39 games played instead of the max 40. Had Utica scheduled for Tuesday but the Pioneers needed that day to make up E8 games.

Two in inside the park hr in an inning is special.  Might be the hardest feat to do.  Surprisingly, 3 assists in an inning is not that common, happening once every 500 innings.

If BeVard was less speedy (the pace around the bases was amazing), he would have had two triples in an inning, something only done 6 times. Instead he is just one of many with 2 HRs in an inning.

Cortland jr. outfielder Colin BeVard selected NCAA Division III Baseball National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. .... His four home runs included an amazing three inside-the-park homers -- two in the same inning, and he ended the week with a 1.615 slugging percentage.

If BeVard was less speedy (the pace around the bases was amazing), he would have had two triples in an inning, something only done 6 times. Instead he is just one of many with 2 HRs in an inning.

Ironically, one of those six players with two triples in an inning was a Cortland player (Dave Tidick vs. Oneonta in 1995)!!

Oswego wears conference tourney crown with 11-7 beating of Cortland at the latter's Wallace Field. Lakers win three straight games as the second seed and topple top seed and regular season 'YAC unbeaten RDragons. Is third straight tourney title for Lakers.
          Lefty B. Nolan WP (6-1, 7inn, 6h, 6r, 6er, 1bb, 7k, 94p) rewarded by Laker offensive punch. P. Tammaro two-out two-run homer to left in the sixth on heels of R. Leone rbi double provides 5-4 Oswego reversal. Tammaro's first roundtripper of the spring chases RDragon reliever and LP I. Hudson who in the fifth takes over for starter M. Cavanagh -- onetime Oswego all-star hurler. Cortland gets off to good start when  C. BeVard swats three run homer to open the scoring in the third inning.
Plenty of late game fireworks. Oswego strikes for four runs in the top of the eighth for 9-4 lead -- R. Enos connecting for three-run home run to left, but Cortland in home eighth gets three-run home run by S. Giordano off Laker reliever M. DiSalvo to make it 9-7. M. Bowman comes out of Oswego 'pen to notch inning-ending strikeout with runner aboard. Tis one of only two RDragons LOB in the game. Oswego extends lead to 11-7 with two-run ninth off beleaguered Cortland mound staff. Dragons use four on the day, none very effective. Issue seven walks. Meanwhile, Bowman records doubleplay and flyout in ninth to end it.
Enos 3x6, 2r, 4bi, 2bh, hr; L. Olsson 2x5, 2bi; Tammaro 1x4, 2r, 2bi, bb, hr; R. Leone 1x4, 2r, 2bi, 2bh, sf; M. Dellicarri 1x4, r, 2bb; R. Weiss 2x3, r, bi, 2bb; N. Chilson 1x4, 2r, bb. For Cortland, B Schweitzer 2x4, r, 2bh; BeVard 1x3, 2r, 3bi, hr, bb; W. Myers 2x4, bi; A. Michalski 1x3, 2r; Giordano 1x4, r, 3bi, hr. Oswego 11-13-0, Cortland 7-9-1
RDragon skipper Joe Brown ejected in first inning for questioning Oswego batter checked swing
Oswego 29-12, Cortland 31-11-1. Lakers earn automatic NCAA tourney slot; Dragons await at-large bid

Oswego's Ryan Enos tournament mvp and joined all-tourney by Lakers Brian Nolan, Kieran Finnegan, Nick DeMarco and Lukas Olsson. Cortland represented by Matt Valin, Chris Puzakulics and Colin BeVard. Others, Oneonta's Dominic LaMonica and Robert Ottaviano and Fredonia's Sam Cestra.

Cortland outlasts Salisbury Sea Gulls 10-9 in test of ranked squads in Maryland. RDragons' M. Bruno and D. Coleman tag fourth inning solo home runs helping Corts hold 6-5 lead into the bottom of the seven inning. Gulls use three bases loaded walks and run-scoring wild pitch to seize 9-6 edge before K. Taborne -- fourth pitcher in the inning, quiets things. Dragons immediately answer with four scores in the top of the eighth. S. Kippen pokes two-run double, J. Tardif one-out tying rbi single to center and M. Bruno two-out go-ahead single to left.
     Winner Taborne (1.2inn, 1h, 2k) pitches scoreless eighth and S. Roberts the ninth for the save. Cortland sends seven to the mound. Issues 10 walks.  Coleman 3x4, 3r, bi, hr, bb; Bruno 3x5, r, 3bi, 2bh, hr; Tardif 2h, 3bi; J. Varian 2h. Corts 10-14-1, Salisbury 9-12-0

    Cortland blows big late lead and tumbles 9-8 Sunday at Salisbury. Sea Gulls post five runs with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to shock the RDragons and square weekend series. Limited to two hits through eight innings and trailing 8-4, Gulls use two walks and infield error -- last of five Cortland flubs, to load the bases in the ninth. C. Murphy single drives in two and S.

Cortland absorbs double dose of defeat Saturday at cold, breezy Baltimore Invite, bowing 9-0 to Roanoke Maroons and 7-2 to host Johns Hopkins. RDragons manage mere 10 hits on the day.
     Corts fail to generate any serious offense and finish with six hits against Roanoke. First four hitters 0x12 with five Ks before yielding to reserves after Marooons erupt for seven runs on six hits in the bottom of the sixth inning. Unearned run provides 1-0 Roanoke edge till then. Z. Durant of C-St. pitches into the sixth (LP, 1-2, 5inn, 5h, 4r, 3er, 4bb, 5k) followed by M. Funk (.1, 4h, 4er, 3er, 2bb), L. Krasney (2.2inn, 1h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 2k). Roanoke's T. James starts but departs after fanning first two Corts. D. Checkosky enters (WP, 1-0, 7.1inn, 4h, 1bb, 4k). Cortland 0-6-2, Roanoke 9-10-0
     Roanoke 6-4. Maroons drop earlier Saturday 6-5 verdict to Marietta OH which edges Hopkins 2-1 Friday

Second game finds Cortland and Hopkins locked up 1-1 until Blue Jays take charge with four-run third inning. Sophomore righty M. Dillard tosses complete game four-hitter with 10 strikeouts, no walks. Both Dragon runs unearned. J. Varian 2x4, bi for Cortland, M. Ritchie 3x4 for the Jays. Lefty S. Buchan LP (2.1inn, 4h, 4r, 4ear, 5k). S. Mugnola, K. Taborne, S. Weyand, M. Hennessy share relief roles. Corts 2-4-2, JH 7-9-2
     Cortland 4-4 and facing 2-0 Marietta on Sunday. Johns Hopkins 3-3

so here's one I've never seen before. Oswego and Wesley are each claiming that Oswego swept today's doubleheader 17-1 and 13-3. I believe both games were scheduled for 7 innings; Game 2 went 7 innings.

Oswego led 17-1 after the top of the 4th in the opener when apparently both coaches agreed to just stop and move on to Game 2. Wesley never even batted in the bottom of the 4th....isn't this game a no contest and none of Oswego's 17 RBI or 5 home runs count? Why in the world didn't they just go through the motions to get through 7 and declare the 10-run rule? Shouldn't both coaching staffs have known better?

Cortland loses fourth straight in 10-1 final to Marietta OH in Baltimore Invite. Once again few RDragon hits -- five including W. Myers (2x3) home run to left for 1-0 second inning lead. Marietta squares it in the fourth and on D. Yenzi three-run homer forges 4-1 lead in the fifth. Adds three in the sixth when outfield miscue clears loaded bases. Marietta adds two more home runs. Picks on four Cortland pitchers including starter J. Valentino (5inn, 5h, 4r, 4er, 5k), then D. Lyskawa, S. Roberts, P. Franzese. N. Brown WP (8inn, 4h, 1r, 1er, 1bb, 9k).

Cortland losing streak reaches six games. Drops twinbill Sunday to Montclair in Aberdeen MD by 15-10 and 11-10 scores. Two teams rap 73 hits, 35 by the RDragons!!
          First game virtually settled by 12-run Red Hawk fourth inning to erase 6-1 Cortland lead taken in the top of the frame. Corts sent 11 to bat in six run raid that saw R. Sisto two-run double. Montclair then bats a bunch as Dragons use five pitchers trying to stem the Jerseyites quick response.  Hawks get nine hits and Cortland contributes two errors to the 12 run spree. J. Varian 3x5, 4, 2bi while Z. Durant starts for C-St. and pitches into the decisive fourth. M. Funk LP. Cortland in all sends six hurlers to the gallows. Red Hawk C. Walker 3-run homer, J. Norton 3x5, 4bi. M. Mincieli WP as second of three Montclair pitchers. Cortland 10-16-2, Montclair 15-17-0
         Second game goes to the bottom of the ninth inning where two singles and walk precede J. Bates' one-out game-winning single up the middle breaking 10-10 tie. Cortland knots it in the top of the ninth on J. Varian two-out two-run single. Dragons see early 5-1 and 7-4 advantages disappear to five-run Montclair fifth inning. C. BeVard 4x5 for Corts, Varian 3x6, 4bi; M. Bruno 3x5, A. Donofrio 3x4; B. Rhodes 3bi. J. Valentino (3inn, 8h, 4r, 4er, 2bb, 3k) followed to the Dragon mound by three others. B. Gauthier LP (2.1inn, 4h, 1r, 1er, 2b, 3k). Seven Hawks with at least two hits, three with four. Cortland strands 11 runners, Montclair 12. Cortland 10-19-2, Montclair 11-21-0

Cortland forces deciding third game in conference best-of-3 championship series with wild 11-10 10-inning victory at Cortland on S. Giordano home run in Friday's second game. In the opener Oswego holds off Cortland ninth inning comeback bid for 7-6 triumph as  Lakers score three times in top of the eighth for 7-5 lead. Third game Saturday at Cortland.
           First Game: Laker reliever M. DiSalvo enters in the ninth, yields M. Bruno leadoff home run and then strands two runners in scoring position and one out on popout and game-ending flyout. An inning earlier Oswego's M. Felton draws one-out walk and moves to third via wild pitch and flyout. P. Tammaro walk brings on Cortland reliever S. Roberts whose errant pickoff throw to first allows Felton to score tying run and Tammaro to third. B. Frank single to deep short sends Tammaro home for 6-5 lead. R. Enos follows with rbi double to left.  A  Vanfossen (3.1inn, 1bb, 2k)  notches pitching win (5-0) following lefty starter K. Finnegan (4.2inn, 5h, 5r, 5er, 6bb, 1k). R. Flansburg (4.1inn, 7h, 3r, 3er, 3bb, 2k, 72p) opens for Cortland. B. Gauthier (LP 5-2, 3.1inn, 2h, 3r, 3er, 4bb, 5k, 63p),  Roberts (0inn, 2h, 1r, 1er), L. Krasney (1.1inn, 1k) follow.
Cortland uses four walks enroute to 2-0 first inning lead. Oswego posts two-run second (H. Holliday, J. Draw rbi hits) and takes 3-2 edge on R. Enos' one-out rbi double in the fifth. RDragons post 5-3 lead in their fifth when A. Pragana, C. BeVard, J. Varian drive in runs. Oswego within 5-4 in the seventh (K. Lauria rbi hit).
Lakers Tammaro, B. Frank, Enos (2bi), Lauria, J. Draw 2h each; Dragon C. BeVard 2x3 2r, bi, bb and pulled from LF late in the game with an injury.
Oswego 7-11-1
Cortland 6-7-1

         Second Game: Giordano socks one-out home run to right in the 10th to complete 3x4, 3r, bi, 2bb outing. Circuit clout RDragons 12th hit of 3 hr, 17 min contest. Lakers with 19 hits including four apiece by B. Frank (4x4, r, 2bi, sf) and R. Weiss (4x5, 4, 3bi). Cortland quickly out to 4-0 lead in the first inning, trails 7-4 in the sixth and moves ahead 10-7 through seven frames. Oswego proves resilient late. Strikes for two runs in the eighth and tying 10-10 mark in the ninth when K. Lauria singles, swipes second and Weiss pokes rbi single. Each team with three home runs -- Cortland's D. Coleman and M. Bruno before Giordano blast, and M. Felton, Weiss and P. Tammaro for Oswego. CSt. uses five pitchers -- L. Krasney winner. A. Vanfosse -- fourth Laker moundsman, LP. Z. Durant (2inn) starts for hosts, J. Terrill (4inn) for the guests. Oswego scores in seven of the 10 innings.

Cortland gets superb relief pitching from tourney MVP Scott Roberts and tops Oswego 8-6 in conference playoff final game Saturday at Cortland. Teams split Friday's opening action in best-of-3 series. RDragons (27-6) earn spot in NCAA tourney .... Oswego (24-5) probable at-large selection. Series was first Cortland/Oswego meeting of the season. Won respective East and West divisions.
        Teams locked in 5-5 draw after just two innings when suspect pitching depth becomes apparent after many spent-arms the previous day. But from there, mound work stiffens along with solid defensive play. Oswego on R. Enos rbi single takes 6-5 lead in the top of the fifth. Cortland answers with two in its fifth on B. Rhodes double for 7-6 edge and adds sixth inning run -- the last of the game, when J. Varian and D. Coleman hit successive doubles. Meanwhile, Roberts, quickly kayoed in a Friday appearance, twirls 7.1 innings (WP 1-0, 5h, 1r, 0er, 0bb, 3k, 94p) and induces doubleplay to finish the game.
Corts chasing from the get-go. Laker first inning run offset by Dragons. OSt with four-run, three-hit second inning (P. Tammaro 2bi 2bh, R. Enos 2bi hr to left) for 5-1 lead. Cortland matches with four-run, four-hit second (Rhodes bi 2bh, C. Bonacci bi single, S. Giordano 2bi single). Starting pitchers M. Funk (C), R. Loomis (O) both exit at 1.1 innings. S. Centorani (.1) precedes Roberts. J. Sharma (LP 3-2, 4.2inn, 7h, 3r, 3er, 3bb, 2k, 62p) and T. Pecchia (2inn) follow Loomis. Oswego turns four doubleplays -- each ending innings.
Giordano (2bh), J. Varian (2bh), Rhodes (3bi, 2 2bh), A. Micheleski (2bh), Bonacci (2bb) with two hit Dragon games. Enos 3x4, r, 4bi, hr, 2bh; Tammaro 2r, 2bi, bb, 2bh for Oswego.
Oswego 6-9-2
Cortland 8-13-1

Among other NYS teams ...
     St. John Fisher whips Utica 21-6, 26-3 to gain Empire 8 qualifying slot
     SUNY Cobleskill falls 14-6 to Husson ME in North Atlantic final. Foes split first two games of series, Husson winning 5-2 before Cobleskill countering 3-2 requiring third contest

Any thoughts on the strategy behind using a relief pitcher (Roberts; 13 games, only 4 starts) in a starting role when there are others (Durant, 10 starts; Flansburg, 9 starts; Buchan, 6 starts; Mugnolo, 7 starts) with more starts and very solid numbers?  Now Cortland faces Rowan in an elimination game this afternoon.  The first game (Adrian vs. Johns Hopkins) in Cedar Rapids starts at 11 AM ET.

Not a big surprise to this Dragon follower. From top to bottom this has not been a stellar Cortland pitching staff -- to say the least. Search for arms was on from the start of the season. No one really stepped up. Coach was quick with the hook. Durant the most experienced by far and he had issues with any length. Roberts didn't have much success till the tailend of the season, then came on. His late season work is probably why Cortland is even where it is. He toiled as a frosh for nat'l champ Cal Lutheran a few years back, but had never excelled at Cortland.
The fact that Cortland was unable to get out of the region early in the season as has been its custom perhaps showed up as well. Those early games in the past allowed Coach to work his staff. As the season progressed the SUNYAC didn't offer a ton of challenges. Cortland didn't even face a very good Oswego team till the conference tourney -- and then it took a superb Roberts' relief effort to advance. So to some extent he was tourney tested.
Believe this team overachieved with solid defensive play and its hitting which improved as the season progressed.
BYW, Salisbury pretty deep most everywhere. Didn't start its top pitcher last night.

Cortland overcomes Rowan NJ 4-2 in Saturday late night World Series elimination contest in Grand Rapids IA. Four run eighth inning does the job after pitchers ruled earlier and the Jersey Profs hold 1-0 lead. R. Flansburg (4.2inn, 6h, 1r, 1er, 1bb, 4k) and B. Gauthier (WP 6-2, 4.1inn, 3h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 3k) provides the RDragons pitching lift. Rowan's fifth inning tally sees J. Marks with leadoff double, sac bunt and V. Cruz two out rbi single to left. Earlier, Rowan twice leaves runner at third. Cortland threatens in the second on S. Giordano single and D. Coleman one-out double. Strikeout, flyout ends the bid.
    Decisive Cortland eighth opens with B. Rhodes double to right. When A. Michalski bunt is thrown away, Rhodes scores tying run and Michalski reaches third. M. Krafft delivers rbi single through drawn infield. C. BeVard drops rbi double barely into right for 3-1 lead. Controversial fourth run comes on double steal of second and home, with pinch-runner P. Franzese first ruled out at the plate ....then safe following lengthy umpire video review which notes catcher's mitt holding the ball come off on the tag. Gauthier yields two doubles for Rowan's second run in the ninth. Prof lefty E. Atiya (LP 9-2, 7.1inn, 7h, 3r, 1er, 1bb, 6k) gives Cortland hitters fits into the eighth.

Sea Gulls stretch win skein to 16 including 14 to finish national title run in '21. Two of those wins were at the expense of RDragons during the World Series.

Debuting Cortland erupts for seven runs in the second inning and turns back host Salisbury MD 7-3 in mid-40s, windy Friday afternoon conditions. All of the scoring came in the first three innings of a matchup between 1-2 preseason poll-sitting foes who both return much of last season's World Series outfits. Salisbury is the national defending champs and today started WS most outstanding player J. Balzan on the mound. Sea Gulls stake lefty to 1-0 first inning lead that could have been much more. Salisbury kayoes RDragon starter R. Flansburg with three walks and sac fly. S. Weyand relieves and gets sharp DP grounder to shortstop B. Rhodes. Weyand winds up the winning pitcher when Corts send 13 to the plate in decisive second frame. With leadoff single, D. Coleman scores ahead of J. Varian home run to left into a stiff wind. P. Franzese plates third run with two-bagger and S. Giordano two more with another double. Coleman's second hit of the inning drives home the seventh run.

Gulls also send five to the mound with 5bb, 8k. Dragon returning All America S. Giordano 3x5 at the plate, collecting hits in each of the first three innings. S.

Cortland flexes offensive muscle to put down Widener PA (0-4) by 17-10 count Saturday morning at Salisbury MD where sunny skies still yield 40-degree windy conditions. M. Bruno three-run home run to right in the fourth inning gives RDragons 9-8 lead that was never overtaken. The veteran Bruno knocks in seven runs, going 3x6, 3r, 3bh, hr. Ex-Oswego Laker H. Holliday scores five times (3x3, bi, 2bb, 2 2bh).

Five hurlers toil for winners. Frosh P. Dalton -- third to the mound -- gets the win (2.2inn, 1h, 1r, 1er, 3w, 3k). Starting junior J. Labruno works 1.1 innings. Cortland pitchers walk 10 -- 3 intentionally --- and get errorless support. Widener starter L. Nihill takes the loss (3.1inn, 8h, 9r, 5er, 2bb, 2k).

Cortland lets big lead get away late before A. Pragana rbi single in the 10th and T. Kensey clutch double play relief work provide 10-9 victory over homestanding Salisbury on Sunday afternoon. Verdict completes RDragons' season opening three games on the Sea Gulls' Maryland campus. Cortland twice beats its host around a win over Widener PA. Dragons and Gulls enter play second and first respectively in preseason polls. 
Six Salisbury runs over the eighth and ninth innings wipe out onetime 8-3 Cortland Sunday advantage. Sophomore righthander Kensey keeps Dragons alive. In his first collegiate mound appearance and summoned with the winning run on third and a runner on first, Kensey's second pitch results in a doubleplay. Then in Cortland's 10th B. Rhodes is hit by a pitch, moves around to third before Pragana chopper through the middle. Another Gulls' comeback is snuffed by a Kensey around-the-horn DP in the bottom of the 10th.

S. Giordano run-scoring single in the top of the first helps stake Corts to 2-0 lead. They never fall behind although Giordano's hit is lone Dragon safety till the sixth inning. Salisbury threatens often in the early going. Pulls even at 2-2 in the fifth. An inning later, D. Coleman puts Cortland up 3-2 with rbi single. Four-run seventh features Coleman's full-count bases loaded-clearing double to left, and a run in the eighth makes it 8-3. Gulls climb within 8-6 in the eighth, and after P. Franzese single adds to Cortland lead in the ninth, knot things 9-9 with three-run bottom of the ninth. C. Hyder leadoff homer ignites Salisbury rally capped by K. Caster two-run single to right with one out. Kensey comes to the rescue and notches the win (1.2inn, 1h, 1bb), stranding a runner in scoring position.

Salisbury (2-3) outhits Cortland 18-12. Coleman, M. Bruno and Rhodes with two hits apiece for the Dragons. S. Rice 4x4 with three doubles for the Gulls. Corts starter Z. Durant (3inn, 4h, 1bb, 1k) works in and out of early trouble. Six more take the mound for CSt. B. Epstein LP (1.2inn, 3h, 1r, 1er). Sea Gull B. Thalheimer throws first six frames (5h, 4r, 3er, 1bb, 4k)

Cortland convincingly kayoes Brockport 15-2 at home in Friday opening nine-inning game of conference double-bill before Port's T. Kretzler dons his hero's mantle to lead 3-1 extra-inning win in the afterpiece.
      First Game: Outcome snaps GEagles' Division 3 leading 16 game win streak. RDragons ride A. Fusco's six inning pitching (WP 5-1, 6h, 2r, rer, 1bb, 3k, 79p) and 3B D. Coleman eight ribbies on pair of three-run home runs and two-run double. Coleman with team-best eight HRs, 36 RBI. Corts with 17 hits. After leaving bases full in the first inning, Cortland puts three spot on Wallace Field scoreboard in the third on Coleman's initial blast to right off Port starter A. Huffman (5-1, 3.1inn, 7h, 8r, 8er, 1bb, 2k, hbp, 68p). Huffman yields his first earned runs of the season in 35 innings. Dragons followup with five-run fourth and 8-0 lead sparked by S. Giordano single to right for two scores. Coleman doubles for two more, and in the sixth inning unloads his second home run. Coleman 3x5, 2r, 8bi; A. Pragana 2x2, 3r, 2bb; Giordano 3x5, 2r, 2bi; J. Varian 1x2, 2r, bi, sac, hbp; M. Krafft 2x4, 2r, bi, 2bh; B. Rhodes 2x4. Brockport with seven hits J. Houlahan 2x3, r; R. Mansell 2x4, r; T. Kretzler 2bi. Cortland reliever M. Hennessy finishes (3inn, 1h, 2k). Eagles deploy six hurlers and commit game's only two errors.
     Second Game: Kretzler pitches and bats GEagles to victory in scheduled seven-inning contest. His two-out bases loaded double in the eighth inning disappoints RDragons who had early chances turned back by Kretzler mound work (7inn, 4h, 1r, 1er, 3bb, 2k, 2hbp, 93p). Cortland puts runners in scoring position in each of the first five innings, and strand 10 in all. Meanwhile, pitching counterpart R. Flansburg (6.1inn, 3h, 1r, 1er, 69p) retires first 12 Eagles. Scoreless match into the seventh. R. Mansell in the top of the inning opens with double to right and moves to third on Kretzler flyout. R. Voight touches reliever B. Buchan second pitch for go-ahead double to left. Dragons send it to OT on A. Michalski leadoff single and S. Giordano clutch two-out rbi single. In the eighth, Buchan retires first two Eagles but walks next three. Kretzler greets another Cortland fireman with his clutch knock down the left-field line. M. Colucci records the pitching save -- strands two. Brockport with five hits, Corts six. Errorless affair. Giordano 2x3, bi, bb; Michalski 2x2,r for Dragons ...Voight 2x3, bi for Eagles.

Oswego takes down visiting St. John Fisher 10-8 on Tuesday, using usual heavy L. Olsson and R. Enos artillery in seventh and eighth innings to reverse a brief Fisher toehold. Lakers break out to 4-0 lead in the second inning when J. Levine belts three-run homer. Third inning score makes it 5-0. Guests get two runs back in the sixth, then forge 6-5 lead in the top of the seventh -- B. Lavery three-run home run the big blow.

Cortland cops conference tourney title with rather sweaty 12-9 conquering of Brockport at sunny Oswego. Second seed RDragons deal third seed Bport second defeat in postseason double elimination event. Earn automatic entry into NCAA tourney.
     What appears runaway finale turns into anything but. Five-run first inning Cortland flourish featuring D Coleman three-run homer totally offset by GEagles' six-run, seven singles spree and 6-5 lead in the third. Dragons regain upper hand at 7-6 when fourth inning Coleman and S. Giordano singles drive in runs. M. Bruno's two-out two-run single extends advantage to 9-6 in the sixth. THAT MAN T. Kretzler makes it 9-7 with home run to center -- his 16th circuit blow --- in the seventh. Corts in the eighth score vital three times including Bruno rbi double to left. Eagles make it mighty interesting in the ninth, posting two runs and loading the bases for Kretzler whose fly to center is hauled in by Giordano for final out. Port leaves 11 runners stranded as does Cortland.
      Dragons collect 11 safeties: Coleman 2x3, 2r, 4bi, bb, hbp, hr; Giordano 2x4, 2r, bi bb; Bruno 2x4, 2r, 3bi, bb, 2bh, sb; A. Pragana 2r, 2hbp; A. Michalski 2r; M. Krafft 2hbp. Champs use four pitchers, A. Fusco 2.1inn, S. Mugnolo WP (4inn, 4h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 3k, 62p), M. Funk 2.1inn, B. Buchan .1inn.2.1inn.  Eagles 15 hit-makers: Kretzler 3x5, 2r, 2bi, bb, hr; J. Houlahan 4x6, r, bi; M. O'Dair 2x4, 2bi, bb; J. Pangburn 2x4, 2bi, bb; B. Tietjen 2bi; N. Pastore 2hbp. Pitching strapped Port opens with N. Colucci .2inn, then N. Lawlor LP 2.2inn, J. DelVecchio 3.1inn, C. Meldrim .1inn, J. Jempty .1inn, A. Douglas .2inn.

Cortland season ends in 7-5 setback to Endicott MA whose Gulls come from loser's bracket to tame the Dragons twice on Sunday. Impose 16-3 hammering in early morning go.
      RDragons in the deciding match had just extended lead to 5-2 in bottom of the seventh on C. Bonacci two-run single when pitching change in the top of the eighth backfires. Two walks and hit batter set up Endicott for five run rally. C. Shpur rbi single makes it 5-3 before region mvp  N. Notarangelo grand slam to right on 1-2 pitch has Gulls flying high. Endicott makes the most of five hits, just three off slants of W. McCarthy (7inn, 3h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 7k) who is relieved after strong 76 pitch performance. Endicott comes to life. Dragons notch 10 hits, C. Bonacci 2x3, r, 2bi; M. Krafft 2x4, r; S. Giordano 1x3, r, 2bb. D. Beers LP (.1inn, 2h, 4r, 4er, 1bb, 16p). Gulls use five hurlers. M. Tarlin WP, A. Zaiser save (2inn, 2bb, 3k, 31p). Gull C. Shpur 3x4, 2r, 2bi. Corts strand 11 runners, Endicott just one.
      In Sunday's first game, Endicott buries hosts in 12-run 11-hit third inning barrage to force winner-take-all second contest. No score into Endicott top of the third when D. Pecheco opens with disputed triple to left where fielder M. Bruno gloves but loses the ball banging into the fence. First called an out, umps gather and overturn. Lengthy controversy ensues. Back in play, next pitch to K. Grabowski goes for home run to start the Endicott merry-go-round. When dust settles, 15 Gulls go to bat in the inning. J. Millar winds up spree with three-run homer to right. Pecheco (3x4, 2r, bi, 3bh), Grabowski (4x5, 3r, 5bi, 2hr), and Millar (2x5, 2r, 3bi, hr) all have two hits in the inning. I. Parent WP (9inn, 9h, 3r, 3er, 3bb, 2k, 131p). Dragons deploy two pitchers, A. Fusco LP (2.1inn, 8h, 9r, 8er, 1k, 55p) and M. Hennessy (6.2inn, 9h, 7r, 7er, 1bb, 4k, 114p). P. Franzese 2x3, r, bb, 2bh; N. Chemotti 3x3, bi, 2bh for Corts' nine hit offense.
      Endicott advances vs. Brockport Region champ Baldwin Wallace OH in next weekend super regional. Baldwin Wallace OH dumps top seed Wheaton MA,11-6.

Oswego waits til Monday morning finale ....bad weather suspends Sunday deciding game with Lakers taking 4-1 fifth inning lead over top seed host Arcadia PA in winner-take-all match. Oswego tallies four in the first inning -- K. Laurie drives in run with base hit and R. Weiss crunches three-run homer to left-center.
     Lakers taking the diamond for the third time Sunday. Trip Husson ME 12-10 in conclusion of Saturday darkness suspended elimination game, then apply 11-4 drilling of Arcadia to force another final round contest.
    In first Sunday hookup against Arcadia, Oswego pulls away with six-run eighth inning. R. Weiss second inning solo home run earns 1-1 tie. Add single run in the fourth and three in the fifth on K. Lauria and J. Drew rbi hits. Extend lead as C. McCarthy, F. Levanti, P. Tammaro launch the eighth with singles. R. Enos scores all three with double on 0-2 pitch. Total 12 hits and get eight walks...P. Tammaro 3x6, 2r, 2bh; Enos 2r, 3bi, 2bh; K. Lauria 3r; Weiss 2r, hr; McCarthy 2x3, r, bi, 2bb. Leave 13 on base, Arcadia 11. Three OSt hurlers ...S. Dertinger 2inn, J. Sanders 3.1inn, A. Conrad 3.2inn. Arcadia with 10 hits
       Against Husson in resumption game, Lakers followup Saturday's C. McCarthy two-run home run putting Oswego on top, 9-8, with run in the eighth, two in the ninth. Windup with 20 hits. K. Lauria 4x4, 2r, 2bi, 2bb, 3sb; P. Tammaro, J. Drew with three hits each; R. Enos 3bi
      Winner of Arcadia regional plays Marietta OH regional winner Marietta in super regional next Friday/Saturday.  Site TBD

Ithaca early Sunday defeats Keystone PA 7-2 and needs to beat Keystone  Monday to win the Immaculata PA regional. In a stunning Sunday loser's bracket final, 4-seed Keystone shocks 1-Immaculata 6-5 to earn another crack at the Bombers.

Oswego claims regional title with 4-1 beating of top seed host Arcadia PA. Lakers maintain 4-1 margin built up midway through Sunday action when bad weather forced delay to Monday finish. Oswego gets all its runs in first inning featuring R. Weiss homer with two aboard. K. Lauria single plates another. Arcadia, checked to three hits, only run in the third. A. VanFossen pitches hitless final five innings (1bb, 2k, hbp, 61p) in relief of starter T. Pecchia (4inn, 3h, 1r, 1er, 2bb, 2k, hbp, 51p). Lakers with 10 hits, Weiss 2x4, r, 3bi, hr; L. Olsson 2x3, r, hbp; Lauria 2x4, r, bi; J. Drew 2x4. Errorless game. Oswego strands 7 runners , Arcadia 6

     Oswego into super regionals vs. 41-5 Marietta OH on Friday/Saturday best-of-3 at site TBD

Ithaca rolls 17-2 over Keystone PA at Immaculata PA regional. Bombers on Monday strike for four first inning runs -- two via M.

Oswego wins 4-1. Congrats to the Lakers. Anthony Van Fossen, who took the mound in "relief" following the re-start, threw 5 no hit innings with only 1 walk. Total domination when his team needed it most.

Gordon, certainly tough one for JB to end on yesterday! Am sure some soul-searching after pulling McCarthy in the eighth. Know his thinking .....McCarthy hadn't tossed many innings all season. Went above and beyond in this instance .....just didn't work out. Joe hunting for arms all spring, from start to finish. Reliable ones hard to find. Am sure coach knew his club could hit and score, but pitching ......ugh!!!! Figured Durant would be the ace. Fusco stepped up, but ..... Wound up to be Flansburg. But entire staff appeared a bit weary as season progressed.
Always thought Oswego was team to beat this season .....bats aplenty and pretty good frontline and down-the-line arms. Certainly hope they can get to WS ...
Lots of rosters changing next season ..........conference teams in '22 chock full of last year quality players on all fronts.

Cortland for the third straight game -- Sunday by 10-0 count -- KOs Oswego under new 10-run mercy rule. All three verdicts at RDragons' Wallace Field come to conclusions in seventh innings. Lakers' miscues aid latest rout. Final  insult comes on infield throwing error allowing 10th run to score. Oswego guilty of four errors leading to six unearned runs.
    J. LaBruno (2.1inn, 3h, 1k, 28p), B. Battaglini (1.2inn, 3h, 1k, 24p), L. Krasney (3inn, 3k, 25p) combine to pitch the shutout. Cortland scores in five of the seven innings. D. Mackenzie rbi single makes it 1-0 in the first, his sac fly comes in two-run third, and rbi single in the fourth helps build 6-0 margin. Mackenzie (2x3, 3bi) with 31 ribbies on the season.  M.

Cortland outscores New Paltz twice on Saturday in conference play at Wallace Field. Survives 9-7 in opener, then 5-2 with outstanding relief pitching. Mild conditions at Wallace Field mark eighth and ninth straight wins.
     First Game: RDragon N. Chemotti drives in four runs. Second inning single plates pair for 2-2 tie. C. Bonacci rbi double and Chemotti sac fly provide 4-2 lead in the fourth. As it turns out Corts need four-score eighth inning including extra base rbi blows from Bonacci (3bh), Chemotti (2bh), pinch-hitter J. DeLawder (2bh). Hawks tag Dragons relievers for five runs in the ninth. F. Apicella raps two-rbi single. Frosh hurler T. Lynch finally quiets matters -- k, flyout -- with NP tying run at the plate. Bonacci 3x3, r, 2bi, 3bh, bb, hbp, sb; Chemotti 2x4, 4bi; M. Bruno 2x5, bi for Cortland whose D. Beers WP (7inn, 7h, 2r, 2er, 1bb, 6k, 111p). NP D. Ristano, C. Sais, M. Sarni, Apicella 2h each. B.

Yes indeed. Cortland roster very, very young ....frosh, sophs abound. Absolutely one of Joe Brown's best coaching stints, especially in the pitching area. A. Fusco one of the few veteran arms entering the season but not factor. Personal issues took a toll, though a heartening performance in RDragons clinch of regular season pennant flag.
