^^^^ congrats to all these young men!

On a Marietta note, Byers will not be back this spring due to academic ineligibility...per his Twitter account. I believe he has transferred to Shawnee State.

Looks like Herstine and last years young guys will have to lead the staff.

I know this forum is to talk about the OAC and it's players, but losing Byers has a bigger impact in this conference than is being talked about IMO.  He's thrown roughly a quarter of Marietta's innings the last two seasons.  All-Region both years with a lot of good wins.  Pounded the zone with good pace on the bump. 

Herstine, Fulton may get them through 130 (mostly) quality innings but there's a lot of uncertainty about the other 270 ip for this program.  Great time to be a freshman.

Marietta's won three of the last eight national championships. BW is a win from Appleton. JCU just won their first oac tourney and 2nd regional bid in program history.  ONU on the up and up.  So many good things for the oac lately and all you can be is antagonistic because berg fell off the tracks and their lack of pitching caught up with them. Embarrassing.

All I'm saying is "I'll take my chances" with those two guys and then see what happens from there. I'd much rather have two very formidable aces than to not have them.





HA HA!

You're pathetic. Win something ever.

Jordan Zimmermann pitched 7 innings of 2-hit, no-run ball, to raise his record to 9-3, and lower his GPA to 2.00.  The UWSP product is (according to many analysts) an early favorite for NL All-Star game starter and Cy Young.  Way to represent d3!! ;D

Wow, his grades have really fallen recently.  Must have not been studying much.

I have no idea if he's actually being scouted or not, but I think Alex Toth should be. Outstanding arm, sterling defense, has been great at handling a very young Marietta staff, hitting .430 and has not swung and missed with two strikes yet this year.

Only gap power, but for catcher that seems less critical. Maxwell only has 1 HR in his pro career so far.

I would think a team could sign him, and even if he doesn't work out could be a great instructional guy for a hotshot 18-19 year old. The amount he has improved in 3 years is almost beyond imagination. At the start of his soph year he was a converted middle infielder that literally could not get a hit. And now he's a likely All-American.

I don't know why a team wouldn't want to see what he can do in the pros."


All you have to do is look at the Marietta roster to see why he won't get drafted. There aren't any 5'9" 190lb catchers in the big leagues.

at least not anyone good.  http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=121358#gameType='R'&sectionType=career&statType=1&season=2013&level='ALL';

"Is Monday a holiday? Or will these students be away from class?"

I found this link that lists all US observed holidays.  Quite helpful.
