Rankings as of 4/15/18

[oldskool42]

Big shakeups this past week. Caravel slides back to #1 with a win over St Marks while Cape slides to 2 with a loss to Appo. St Marks beat Appo so I have to have St Marks at #3 though the ST E loss bothers me. Appo moves up with a big win over Cape. St G has no top 5 wins but a solid win over Mtown. Hodgson has a win over #8 CR. Mtown doesn't have any top 8 wins.

1. Caravel 5-0. wins over St Marks and IR
2. Cape 7-1. wins over Mtown, Tech, Cntrl...lost to Appo
3. St Marks 6-2. wins over Appo, Hod, Dma, Arch, St E, IR...lost to Caravel, St E

No mention of 6-1 Friends after beating a pretty good Red Lion team?

 

[urbaseballdaddy]

Good work as usual !

 

[oldskool42]

8yaz...i honestly think that Friends and RLCA are just outside this list of teams.

Yeah I agree. Friends has definitely played a weak schedule, but thought they might at least warrant a mention, at least until their next loss. Maybe not.

 

[DEBaseball2015]

Friends picked up one of Caravel's main arms last year and added to an already decent team. They will give someone trouble in the 1st round of the tournament with Nelson on the mound. Probably not top 10..but somewhere in the 12-15 range.

[DEBaseball2015]

Just noticed Wm Penn with 2 good wins vs Hodgson and Conrad and only a 1 run loss to Sussex Tech and 2 run losee to undfeated St Georges.....are they for real? they haven't done all that much recently

Looks like St E's needs some top 10 consideration

 

[oldtimer22]

Looks like St E's needs some top 10 consideration

Had them #10 going into this week but 4 consecutive wins including games vs St Marks and Appo will move them up.

Well they got thumped by Archmere yesterday. Now maybe we need to keep a closer eye on Archmere.

Archmere got thumped by DMA

 

[8yaz]

How about Appo needing 2 in the 7th to beat Delcastle?

1-1 after 5, then giving up 2 in the 6th and 3 in 7th to end 6-1 isn't really a thumping...but yeah Archmere looks good. Beat ST E, ST G and Conrad iin the past 2 weeks

 

[oldskool42]

The Rankings are going to be pretty difficult for me this weekend...

I think Caravel and Cape are clearly in the top two spots..

Then i would say St Marks is clearly in the three spot.

After that...who knows...Mtown just got beat again...Appo got beat, then barely beat Delcastle...St G lost to Arch, Hodgson???, CR has been pretty consistent...WP beat Mtown, Conrad, Hodgson and lost close ones to Tech and St G....after that wow!

Plus we got Sallies playing two this weekend against St Marks and then down at Cape. If Sallies wins both or one of those it could put them in the discussion for sure and cast doubt on St Marks and/or Cape.

 

[84rider]

after this week, i would say Blue Hen flight A, is the toughest conference in the state so far with the Henlopen north a close second

 

[urbaseballdaddy]

Sallies is running the Gauntlet next few weeks tough schedule coming off 2 loses Caravel Appo Conrad St G St Marks St E

 

[KnowitallDE]

Caravel lost to Newark 3-6

 

[8yaz]

I think Caravel and Cape are clearly in the top two spots.

Cape yes. But Caravel has to drop after losing on their home field to a 1-6 Newark team.

Those New Caravel Coaches are awesome.... Not so much. Sitting your 2 best arms. HAHA good call......

That call doing that last night is just like all the other stupid decisions. Look how many kids he has sitting on the bench that were a bit part of winning states last year. But then you expect them to come off the bench and produce after letting them sit there for so many games like 2nd class....

Tisk Tisk......

Exactly!! Those coaches won absolutely NOTHING at Hodgson with a tremendous amount of talent over the years...what a joke!

Again given a team with a load of talent. Going to be exciting seeing how they mess this one up.

Won't be hard after what they showed Saturday Night.

* Good job not playing the kid when a college is there to see him.
** Awesome Power play there COACHES !!!!
