well, with velva not in it, i'd have to go with thompson, they have the most experience and have probably the best coach, another team that could have a chance would be langdon, they will have a lot of pitching, cooperstown wont go far at all, they have no overpowering pitchers, and none of them really have great offspead pitches, luering has a good curve, thats about it, they all maybe hit 75 tops, i think they will barely get by crosby, rollette has too tough of a first game, galchutt dosent have any pitching, lamoure is decent, no special pitchers thondfan wrote:So yeah..... do you guys have a favorite to win this tournament?

Severson and Harding both dont throw that hard, prolly 75 to 78, but have nasty curveballs. Ask Steele how Grover's change up and fastball are? and ask Steele how Hardings curveball is? They only scored 1 run in each game. Id say it kept them off balance pretty well. The first game Grover pitched they had 2 hits, the next game they had 6 when Sheldon pitched.
whoa whoa, he wasnt takin anything away from them for beatin steele, steele believe it or not isint one of the greatest hitting teams around, bakkum is their only good hitter, teams like thompson can take those high breakers out of the parkpakkyzoo wrote:tanner lorenz wrote:those are good points
Baseball your from Steele, it was effective against you guys both Harding and Grover, so why are you talking bad about them. They beat you.
You must not be paying attention very well then baseball, grover's fastball was tailing as good as i've ever seen it the FIRST time we beat you, of course he wasn't gonna throw as good the second game after just throwing a great game against you guys the day before..... i rest my casebaseball wrote:pakkyzoo wrote:Grover and Nichols both throw hard.

Harding hangs his curveball bad. Its a miracle if it breaks below your waist. I would have a hard time beleiving he throws 75 as well. And if grover's fastball has that lefty tail to it it sure wasnt much of a tail, just picks at the outside corner. I belive Cooperstown will have trouble if they try and bring Grover back on short rest. when he threw the last inning of the championship game he didnt have nearly the same stuff, fastball was much slower making his change up far less effective, and his curveball didnt have any snap just a roller.

i didnt hit very well at all in hs, ill admit that, but his stuff isint that great, and i think anyone that has hit off him would agreeDizza30 wrote:tanner lorenz wrote:well, im not taking anything away from grover, but it was obvious that thompson was having a horrible hitting day, even the pro scout i was sittin with said he had never seen thompson hit that bad, and that grover wasnt overpowering anyone, grover is a average pitcher, that has an opportunity to beat good teams because hes lefty
