it brings a force to every base. just because you intentionally walk the guy in front of him doesn't mean hes not good alot of times its a coaching move to get a easier out to maybe just step on 3rd instead of throw all teh way to first.

there was obviously already a force at third if they intentionally walked to load the bases

No, it was guys on 1st and 3rd when they walked Snow. Pretty sure they wanted to pitch to Bata instead of Snow. Ask their coach on that one but that's what I think it'll come down to.

if thats so, why when nick bata his the ball, the earth shakes and people bow before him?

Do you have some sort of thing for this guy? You're really going all out with him. I've never even heard of him either.

cant you guys sense a little sarcasm when you hear it...?

I guess Nick Bata is the only good hitter in state??

Posted: **Mon Jul 24, 2006 7:23 pm**

ya these guys are talkin him up way to much.... i always considered him just a little bit above average.... probably not even in the top 5 in that section

who would be your top five?

Ross Severson without a doubt is one of the best hitters in the state and he is only a junior he will become a great hitter by his senior year he is a stud

Snow, Buxa, Grover, Bakkum are the top 4 in my mind

Nick Bata is not that good of a hitter. Jordan Grover and Bryan Christianson from Griggs are better hitters than him. Yeah and Bata is going to Mayville to play baseball and basketball. He will get rocked pitching, hes not that good. Decent fastball but he's all over the place.

Wasn't "baseball" the one who started this whole bowing down to nick bata and he doesn't even put him in his top 4...... kinda confusing

I believe Nick playes for Mayville State. He is a pitcher so his hitting days are gone. He did play basketball but didnt like it so he stoped but he is still playing baseball

i dont see the wood bats affecting james olderbach all that much. hes to good of a contact hitter and will hit the ball solid no matter what he swings

Posted: **Tue Apr 10, 2007 5:01 pm**

TA, you and AK will definitely be the scariest hitters to face in our region.

olderbak is a great hitter, he surprises me as a player, he's short and dosen't really look like the ballplayer he is, he is going to be a good player if his rotator cuff ever stops acting up

i dont think the wood bats will affect the kjemhus or randy syrstad. another good one is TA.

If i remember correctly Isaac Steele from PBK hit about .500 last year, so expect to see great things from him this season.

i doubt it. i didnt think they had anybody other than that big first baseman.

Posted: **Tue Apr 24, 2007 4:53 pm**

yeah if i remember correctly Issac Steele would be lucky if he hit a foul ball let alone having a batting average of .500. the first baseman hit .444

issac steele isnt a terrible hitter... hes actually pretty good but batting .500 might be stretching it for anyone
