Monroe County Predictions

[gball2215]

Division 1
1. R-H 2 Penfield 3. Fairport 4. Brockport 5. Schroeder 6. Gates-Chili
7. Spencerport

By far the most competitive leaue this year. Any of the first 5 times can win this league and Gates and an improving Spencerport would compete in the other leagues. Brockport has a nice nucleus and could surprise some teams. pitching will be the key to winning it all

Division 2
1. Churchville 2. Athena 3. Hilton 4. Thomas 5. Olympia 6. Arcadia 7. Irondequoit

I'm going off the board with Churchville and off the "bandwagon" as most people are. Yes they will be good but Churchville has 3 juniors who are now 3 year starters and one of them throwing 90. They have 6 kids who can hit home runs in any given at bat and a very strong catcher. This will be a league of 11-9 games with not as many stud pitchers around. Still some very good pitchers with Grissom and Black but there are a lot of bats on every team. Worst team in the league has the best player with Culver.

Division 3
1. Sutherland 2. Batavia 3. Odyssey 4. Brighton 5. Mendon 6. Eastridge

Sutherland reloads as always and Odyssey has a top 3 player in the secion in Smola. They could move to 2nd if they get another offensive weapon to take over Papaleo's offense. But Smola will hit .500 and get his 6 wins again and Donalty shold grab a few more wins but Batavia has weapons to take over the second spot. Brighton could move up a spot or two but lose a lot of offense out of their lineup.

Sectionals should also be fun and exciting since there is no longer a team like Athena where everyone and their mother knew the title was theirs for the taking. AAA will go to Fairport playing for their late coach AA will go to McQuaid or Athena and A can go to Sutherland, Victor of HF-L. Beaumont throws around 92 and is as close to unhittable in the section. Being a legion coach I have seen kids from all these teams for a few years now and it has never been as wide open as this year and cannot wait for the season to start.

Division 1
#1 Rush Henrietta, #2 Penfield, #3 Gates Chili, #4 Fairport, #5 Brockport, #6 Webester Schroeder, #7 Spencerport

Division 2
#1 Hilton, #2 Churchville Chili, #3 Greece Athena, #4 Webester Thomas, #5 Greece Arcadia, #6 Greece Olympia, #7 Irondequoit

Division 3
#1 Pittsford Sutherland, #2 Greece Oddyssey, #3 Brighton, #4 Batavia, #5 Pittsford Mendon, #6 Eastridge

I am not sure of the breakdown for AAA, AA, and A in sectionals does anyone know all of the teams in each?

[rhbaseball2008]

I didn't talk you into picking Rush-Henreitta from our discussions in the other thread.

[rhbaseball2008]

I was just kidding, I can't wait for the season to start it should be a very competitive year.

[rhbaseball2008]

I found the breakdown for each section, I forgot about the section V website.

AAA
I think the sectional Championship will be between Hilton and Rush Henrietta and I guess I am a little bias so I have to go with RH

AA
Sectional Champioship will be between McQuaid and Athena with McQuaid winning

A
I really don't know much about that group but I do know the Sutherland team and I think they will be good so I will pick them to win sectionals.

[Berask]

Division 1
Division 3
1. Sutherland 2. Batavia 3. Odyssey 4. Brighton 5. Mendon 6. Eastridge

Sutherland reloads as always and Odyssey has a top 3 player in the secion in Smola. They could move to 2nd if they get another offensive weapon to take over Papaleo's offense. But Smola will hit .500 and get his 6 wins again and Donalty shold grab a few more wins but Batavia has weapons to take over the second spot. Brighton could move up a spot or two but lose a lot of offense out of their lineup.


Sorry sir... But this summary is just...wrong...

Sutherland is losing pretty much their entire starting lineup and half their bench so reloading is an understatement.

Oddysey is just not good with the exception of Smola.

Brighton should be third on this list. They have more talent than Oddysey.

Batavia and Sutherland will compete for the crown again this year. Batavia returns 6 starters from last year.

[Mr.Somebody]

Well, I hate to break your balls Berask, but Sutherland lost 3 bats in their line up. Now I don't have a major in math, but I'm pretty sure that 3 isn't have of 9. Thus meaning that they didnt lose half of their starting line up. With that being said, you should once again really think twice before speaking about other teams that you don't know anything about.

[RobHoyFan]

Adam Pettinella=God.

[section5fan]

RobHoyFan... You keep listing Batavia's roster, one player at a time.

[RobHoyFan]

RobHoyFan... You keep listing Batavia's roster, one player at a time.

You follow me lol, and i am right to the point.

[Magic Man]

Greeceman you know nothing about BAT SPEED

[jrabaseball]

to not have Hilton #1 is simply idiotic, schwinds a madman, their rotaion is STACKED, Allen is the best catcher in sec v (defensively) and Gavin Black throws mid 80s (and hes lefty). Chruchville has a TERRIBLE coach, all his players hate him, and they make WAY too many errors defensively, last year they had over 100 errors in 20 games, seriously hilton has got to be the best team, along with mcquaid but they are relatively young in talent

[jrabaseball]

there is no way athena will get to the finals, they have one good pitcher (Grissom) and one good bat (Grissom) and with one good player (Grissom) they cant win a championship, come on get serious

[jrabaseball]

you are forgetting Schwind, division 1 signee to marist, probably the best ss in sec v....also gavin black is a solid 5 hitter from the left side of the plate, hits for power and had a few homeruns last yr

[jrabaseball]

who in aaa has more talent then hilton?

[sucka.]

you are forgetting Schwind, division 1 signee to marist, probably the best ss in sec v....also gavin black is a solid 5 hitter from the left side of the plate, hits for power and had a few homeruns last yr



oh and there returning 7 starters they have a good 1-3 pitching rotation no matter who it is and as far as ik u can go far in sectionals on one good pitcher just look at mcquaid last year all they had was O'tallen or however u spell it and hes took them 3 outs away from the finals

[jrabaseball]

hilton beat rush last year with their 4th rotation guy by like 3 runs (Jake Coleman, sophmore) and penfield has no pitching...name 3 guys who are potential all county players from penfield because i can name at least 4 from hilton

[rhbaseball2008]

Rush Henrietta pitched their #5 pitcher and it was his only action of the year.

[jrabaseball]

ok so its fair enough to say that hiltons ace gavin black could pitch against Rush's ace and it would be a good game.....correct?

also who is their ace? that asian kid who throws knuckleballs, hes crap

[rhbaseball2008]

Rush Henrietta only graduated four players and only three of them played. We have our #1,3,4,5,6 starting pitchers returning for lasts years team that shared the county title with Fairport.

[rhbaseball2008]

Tim Sylvester is there ace and we have no Asian kid or knuckle ballers that pitches for us

[jrabaseball]

hilton lost Kevin Sullivan AGR pitcher who basically was the ace but the rest of the rotation is back....another question about rush tho, whos good offensively? corrigan is a big bat to replace

[rhbaseball2008]

I think it would be a great game between us and Hilton and that's who I said the sectional championship would come down to in the other thread.

[jrabaseball]

Im friends with Tim Silvester and there is no way he is good enough to be the ace im sorry, ill tell you right now, if he pitches against hilton, it wont even be close, every game he pitched hilton won including legion games......

[rhbaseball2008]

Aaron Barley batted over 500 lats year as a sophomore. Brandon Phillip played half the season because he was injured in the first half and batter in the upper 300's and hit 4 homers. George Eiff is a power hitting lefty from the jv team last year. Tim Sylvester has a lot of power. Jon Marlowe hit around 400 in legion so we have a lot of talent returing.

[rhbaseball2008]

I am Tim Sylvester who is this? I only pitched against Hilton once lats year and that was in legion. I pitched the previous day against Rayson Miller for an inning and my arm killed so you can't base anything off of that.

[jrabaseball]

Barley is unreal i will give you that, Marlowe is hit or miss with his power but the JV kid will struggle most likely (i dont know him so obviously im not sure) but i dont know anyone else. im sure when we play may 5th it will be a great game, and if we both make it to the finals, that as well

and by the way, good luck tonight lol HUGE game at Blue-Cross

GO HILTON!!!!!

[rhbaseball2008]

Who are you jrabaseball?

[rhbaseball2008]

I could see based on my legion performance that you would think I wouldn't have a chance against Hilton because frankly I sucked that game. But you have to know the background of the situation. Like I said earlier I pitched a inning the previous day. Also to start legion I pitched a complete game only giving up one run to rayson miller then, a week later I pitched six innings giving up one run against Brooks in a win, then a week later I pitched a complete game against McQuaid in a loss, then I pitch on three days rest in that one inning the previous day. I wasn't suppose to pitch at all the day I started the Game vs you in legion but barley any one showed up so I had to give it a try. So by that time my arm was basically shot and I didn't pitch that good at all vs you. But I do feel that it would be a great game if I got the chance to face Gavin Black. Both pitchers throwing in the upper 80's it would be a great match up.

p.s. jrabaseball based on the name and playing on Hilton are you Jeff Allen? If it is where are you looking to go to college I haven't seen you at the pit at all this offseason what's going on?

[jrabaseball]

yo tim it is me....sorry what i said lol i got heated, all im saying is that if you pitch against us during this season like you did during legion you know we will beat you guys. and your the ace? i didnt know good for you.

im going to St. John Fisher and I stopped going to WGF bc its too much $ and it didnt really help me all that much, only a little so i just did stuff on my own this offseason.....

Black vs. you would DEFINITLY be a sick matchup, i cant wait.....

again good luck tonight in the finals, hopefully we can hold dane to a minimum 50 pts. lol

[sevtionvpower]

rhbaseball 2008, you will be strong but don't underestimate Penfield. Their JV team was 18-3 last year and they have some strong pitching and catching coming up. Bezek and Kanzler will anchor, but Lindenmayer pitched a no-hitter against your JV's and their staff is more than adequate. Hitting will be Penfield's strength.

[sevtionvpower]

those of you who played or are familiar with legion baseball from last summer, don't forget it was Penfield based Braman Post that won our district and went to the state championships in Utica. That was after beating what was basically Athena's team from last season twice in the same week with Dupra pitching almost all of both games. Braman also led the league in runs scored.

[sevtionvpower]

jra baseball...in response to your question on potential all county players from penfield....
Bezek (already done it)
Kanzler (already done it)
Lindenmayer
DeClerck
Right down the middle SS,CF,P,C plus solid at every other position.

[rhbaseball2008]

Discount the legion game I pitched against you guys completely. I was the ace of the staff last year and was number two to Zach Pies the year before. I have been the opening day starter for us the last two years and will be again this year. In two showcases I went to in the beginning of the September I was clocked at 86 during scrimmages so I am hoping I increased on that a little the off-season and will be in the high 80's. I am also considering Saint John Fisher I have it narrowed down to them and Ithaca. I also heard the Beaumont is going there, that would be nice it we all ended up there. Sorry about the game tonight and I'll see you when we face each other May third.

[monctybbfan]

jra states hes the best catcher in sectionv and yet he`s going to fisher. give me a break/.

[rhbaseball2008]

Who do you think the best catcher is then?

[rhbaseball2008]

sevtionvpower I just think Penfield lacks some depth in pitching but I do think they will be one of the best teams this year.

[sucka.]

he said he was the best defensive catcher and he by far is...he had like 6 passed balls last year and threw out 11 of 19 people who tried stealing...name someone with better numbers defensively.

[threesportathlete]

Hilton is also returning 4 all-county selections. Including Jon Schwind (merist signee) and Jeff Allen being 1st team and Gavin Black and Brian Duffy 2nd team. Also a solid surrounding casts makes Hilton a tough team to beat

[monctybbfan]

so what.

[sucka.]

name another catcher that is better then that and has better numbers then that...oh and hes a 4 year varsity starter.

[threesportathlete]

The more returning proven players you have the better your squad will be. Thats just how team sports work.

[threesportathlete]

They might see Hilton in the AAA finals. But not much during the season since they will be in AA

[jrabaseball]

top catchers in sectionv monroe county:

Allen - Hilton
Wexler - Brockport
Schwarm - Churchville (hes a good hitter)

I'm Allen, I put myself on the list on the basis of stats and tenure. Not because im cocky or whatever. and monctybbfan, why are you such a hilton hater????? why you gotta bash Fisher?????? I was recruited by Bryant University division one but i turned it down because i wanted to stay close and get a better education. before you bash me and my college choice, be smart about it....

all you do is bash hilton no matter how much dumb stuff you say.....your rediculous, u base your statements with no reasoning whatsoever, at least greeceman makes sense with what he says about certain schools, your just an idiot lol its funny to see what you say because its stupid, its like your 8 years old and dont know how to explain urself or your points.

your last response in this post was "so what"

SUCH A GREAT ANSWER YOU MORON

be smart about what you say or dont talk it just makes you look stupid

[threesportathlete]

I also play for hilton baseball, I hit .435 in the league last year, my name isn't thrown out there much because i'm relatively unknown because i don't play travel or legion very much. I just kind of show up and play. But we have alot of kids who can manufacture runs. I know it's not the most important skills but we have probably a set of the best bunters in section V. As well as a bunch of kids from last year, including myself who hit .325 or better who are returning. So i think we will do alright. I agree though, our pitching is much stronger than our hitting.

[jrabaseball]

Definitly true threesportathlete our pitching contends for best in sectionv but our hitting is going to surprise people. Without a doubt murphy is the best at manufacturing runs, that alone may have won us 5 games or so....

[threesportathlete]

absolutely he should be added to jrabaseball's list. solid defensively and dangerous bat. good call

[jrabaseball]

yea definitely apolpgize, dan phiehler (terrible spelling error idk how to spell it) 100% deserves to be among the best sectionv catchers. threesportathlete's description is perfect. solid defensively and a dangerous bat. probably the result from working out at the Battery.

[Halfpint23]

i think people are really underestimating batavia, they have some real talent in the field and has a hell of a pitcher in adam pettinella

[jrabaseball]

are they considered monroe county?

[jrabaseball]

i believe we are yea. we play Aquinas, McQuaid, Solvay, Barnegaut, Toms River South, and another team i cant name now (i forgot).

i also think all 6 are going to be considered our Non-League games for the year. check schedulesonline.org, our schedule is really messed up this yr
