AA Baseball

[Pfbaseballfan]

What are the predictions as the season is starting up? Break it down by region.

I think Lexington(Rg. 6) may have their year this year. We played them last year(I played for Giles Co.), and they were young then and good. I thought we could put runs up with anyone, but they had better bats. I thought their weakness was pitching, although some would argue that, I'm just callin it as I saw. With all their talent back this year I will be following them.

 

As for the rest of the state, I really don't know much about any other state contenders.

Top AA contenders from Middle Tennessee would be Goodpasture, DCA & Lipscomb. Goodpasture lost alot of good players but has a good senior class again this yr. DCA has alot of pitching but lost a great catcher from last year. I dont know about their hitting. Lipscomb has a good team returning from last yr when they started 5 sophomores and 3 juniors among their top 11 players. They should be better this year. Marshall County is a dark horse cause Seth Lintz is a top pitcher and can beat anybody with him on the mound but no one knows who else they have with him.

east hickman is starting their first year and hasn't played any scrimages yet due to rain but still looking pretty good they should win a lot of games . they have about 7 players with varsity experince in AAA at hickman . they travel to harpeth tuesday for their first offical scrimage

In the West, USJ should be as good as anyone this year! Above average pitching, and solid at virtually every position!

I don't look for Marshall Co. to be in the Spring Fling this year. Yes, Lintz is one of the best in the state, but they lost everyone else last year. They didn't have a lot of O last year, so I don't expect any different this year. They should win when Lintz pitches, but his dad isn't going to let him throw too much, especially not every game...

I'm anxious to see about y'all... There's been a lot of trash talk in between EH & HC guys. If HC was a state comntender the last couple of years I could see it. But talent was way over matched then, and now the school is split. I do realize it's a step down in classes but...I guess we'll see.

Honestly, I think it will be all USJ this year. Everyone else will be there for poops and giggles. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Dyer County only lost 3 Seniors after a trip to the "Borro" losing to eventual State Champ Goodpasture in 10 innings (thenhaving to play an elimination game a couple hours later). I wouldn't count 'em out again this year. I guess all the other D.C. supporters are maintaining a "low profile" hoping to "fly under the radar". Pitching depth, experience of having been there & Athletic Programs (including this years football& basketball as well as last years baseball run) makes for an "expect to win" attitude. The games have to be played & there are variables that enter into the equation. However the Choctaws are well coached & disciplined team. As for PBandJ's comment about "poops & giggles" I don't think that any of the contenders or any teams taking the diamond that are playing with this in mind. I saw lots of capable teams in the "Borro" last spring. A break here ......... an error there & things as always could have been different all the way around. BUT ................. that's why they play the game & don't crown a State Champion based on Polls or opinions. Lookin' forward to yet another exciting Spring. One NEVER knows !

So we have USJ in the west, Goodpasute or Lipscomb(always tough) in the middle but does East Tennessee have any contenders this year?

Lipscomb always has a good team especially in the hitting department, but do they have enough pitching this year?

 

Goodpasture always has a great program for some reason, i dont know how they do it, but this year their pitching depth could get them in trouble in tournament play. They have a solid number one, a decent number two, and after that there's not much to fall back on.

 

DCA is being very underestimated this year as they always are. Last year's team lost less than 10 games and i'm pretty sure they beat state champions goodpasture at least two times, maybe three i'm not too sure, but they only lost one senior from last year's team. Look for them to be a force this year.

Do not count out Greenbrier. They are in the same district as DCA and Goodpasture and lost only 1 senior from last year. They have depth pitching and a ton of offense. Watch out for Greenbrier, they are definately under the radar.

That's exactly the problem with that, they are in the same district as DCA and Goodpasture. If they get past both of those teams then they deserve to win state, but I don't see that happening.
