JCon and anyone else who still cares,
The regular season is over... we know coaches try to lobby for their kids every chance they get..... records.... the love fest to make players feel good...... weekday starter/weekend starter..... good defense/bad defense ....... wha! Wha! Whaaaa! Pitching statistics that really matter are ERA, Hits, IP, GS, BB's, and K's.
4th in ERA behind Esposito and Morin
3rd in Batting Avg against behind Esposito and Morin
Not even in top 4 for innings pitched behind Fontaine, Jags and Thibeault
Only started 8 games behind Fontaine, Jags and Thibeault
Not even in the top 5 for hits allowed behind Esposito, Michael (UMB),Schmidt, and Morin
Not in the top five for Walks Allowed - behind Fontaine and Jags
2nd in K's - behind Fontaine and 1 ahead of Jags
7 weeks of press releases from the Little East- for Pitcher of the Week
Morin named twice
Fontaine named twice
Michael named once
Andriano named once
Scribner named once
Again ...... no disrespect of Nick, but his own teammates were named pitcher of the week by the LEC more than him. Good luck i the future Nick, your presence within the league was appreciated and well watched. But this year - you were not the POTY.. sorry. UMB and the LEC will miss you.
** I have spent many hours reading the posts on this site... I stumbled upon this site in May 2008 while looking for another college site... What is the point to my post? After reading through what I believe to be all the posts beginning in 2006... I have both a comment and a question... The question? Why would anyone choose 1 player and go on and on about an award that he won? My comment is... I did not find as many negative comments about any other player as the ones that were written about "CONWAY"... I believe it to be nothing more than jealousy; I say this because after reading these comments I did an extensive amount of research about the 2008 LEC season, and Conway... I have concluded that most of you really have no idea what you are talking about... Win as a team Lose as a team, the pitcher is not the only player on the field (as we all know) I would be happy to share the correct stats and data with anyone who requests it. It is my understanding all the coaches have a vote in the "Award" process and although I am sure there is criteria the coaches follow, no one on this site knows what it is... Although this post comes 4 months after the fact, at least I took the time to get the facts... CUDOS NICK CONWAY... You are a great pitcher with great form and an incredible amount of talent, your curve ball is amazing... by the way does anyone else know the variety of unbelievably precise pitches this kid throws? No Disrespect? Respect is all this young man deserves and it is a shame that anyone would try take away HIS moment!
