It seems like it may be a long year for Hopkins in the Centennial if they continue to struggle getting runners across the plate. That being said, is Dickinson for real?

I would be very surprised if Hopkins finds a way to finish undefeated in the conference again, especially with these new bats. They have the pitching but big fields like F&M and Swarthmore give those teams a chance because Hopkins has had so much success with the long ball, it might hurt them on larger fields.

With the season a couple weeks away it might be time to put down some predictions...
1. Hopkins- Number 1 until somebody can take them down
2. Haverford- Return every starter and many seniors who have been starting for a long time. Cant wait for the first weekend matchup between Haverford and Hopkins
3. Swat- Also return most starters, pitching needs to step up
4. F&M- I dont see them missing the playoffs 2 years in a row
5. Wash- Lost Keiper and Smith but still have Mattingly and a couple of great hitters
6. Gettysburg- Best of the rest?
7. Dickinson- Ace will get them wins
8. Muhlenburg- Who knows
9. Ursinus
10. McDaniel

Keiper is a RP and received second team. As long as the reliever has accumulated innings they have the chance at garnering all-conference honors.

Congrats to Hopkins for an undefeated Centennial Conference! Better watch out in the playoffs though as Haverford seemed like they were in each game today and held the potent offense to under 10 runs in each game.

Hammer,
agreed except 3B has to be Backus and SS should be Normoyle, if Wash beats Mules for 4th place

RSSmith, while your all conference predictions are comical, they are sadly correct except for 3B, SS, one OF spot and the DH. It is unfortunate that one team arguably has the best player at each position in an entire conference.
When F&M beats Hav, Swat beats Ursinus, Muhles beat Dickinson and JHU beats Wash, the playoffs will be up for grabs by anyone.
Hav 9-5 (Gburg 2 JHU 2) Must sweep Gburg
Swat 9-5 (F&M 2 Dick 2) Playoffs hopeful for this young team
F&M 8-6 (Swat 2 McDan 2) #2 seed still probable even after slow start
Muhl 8-6 (JHU 2 Wash 2) Don't like the playoff chances here
Wash 7-7 (Dick 2 Muhl 2) Must win out to put pressure on fords to sweep Gburg

When comparing the scores of Hopkins and Haverford against the same teams, they are very similar. I know Haverford does not have their best pitcher, but they field the ball better than any other team in the conference and have been swinging the bats well. The battle between Hopkins, F&M and Haverford will be fun to watch down the stretch.

Dickinson and McDaniel were PPD today, the 4-2 score was from Tuesday. Also, Pappius-Lefebrve is out for the season, he needs TJ.

Hammerball you have to look at Ursinus and give them a little more respect. They have lost many of their key players from last year, but they did beat TCNJ last week and have played solid ball thus far. I would move them up.
Hopkins will not be beaten in conference and look at them to make a run in the NCAA tourney.
The 2,3 and 4 spots will be a battle between F&M, Gettysburg, Ursinus and Haverford.

That is very true baseballnut.
Rumor has it that Haverford ace Stefan Pappius-Lefebvre may not be able to pitch the rest of this year. I heard he warmed up to pitch the other day but was scratched because his elbow was in too much pain. If this is true Haverford will lose those 12 starts that make them a much better team.

Theres no doubt Murrey is a great pitcher but even the reliever had 3k's in 2 innings. As a pitcher that faces Hopkins i know that they are not a team that strikes out much, especially against the harder throwing guys.

Hopkins striking out 21 times? The strike zone must have been huge. RSSmith do you know anything about this because I cannot imagine how such a great hitting team could be shut down like that
