Maui vs. Chico

[Theirish]

There has been alot of hate againist Maui on these threads but they beat OC by beating they 2 out of the 3 on the road. I also give congrats to Chico for sweeping them, espically after the rain out and playing 2 in Calgary. I really think Maui has a great chance taking the championship, they have played well againist Chico and see them splitting in Chico and taking the championship in Maui. Chico hasn't come to Maui, so they might enjoy their time a lil bit out here, so I could see them losing huge in the first game.

So much for sea level verses +4000 feet...

So much of Mike Marshal not having a clue...

So much for strength of schedule...

So much for 3 or 4 travel trips (Chico will have a total of 2 while Maui will only make 1)

So much for Chico unloading all their talent...

So much for leading the league in home runs...

So much for backing into the playoffs...

So much for Chico's new management not wanting to win in the playoffs...

Like ALL post season baseball, it comes down to pitching. Chico and Maui had the two lowest ERA's this season and 2 of the 3 lowest batting average against.

It will be in interesting series as Maui's top 2 pitchers have just pitched on short rest and unlikely to be available until games 3 and 4.

I know that Harold Williams, who has been strong for Maui since he has gone into the starting role, so he will take the ball for game 1. I can see for game 2 Maui pitching ethridge and letting him do his thing.

And, so much for adding a closer after the trading deadline...among other things.

I don't think anybody here "hates" Maui. The irritation and disgust reflected is based on the incredible preferential treatment they received. Documented and indisputable and shameful. Pretty much GBL s.o.p.

Maybe the other owners should have begged off travel because of financial difficulties as well, this past season.

Having said that, Corey has put a strong team together and he's got a record of getting the most out of his team, in STG or Maui. Not a stretch to see Maui sweeping Chico.

Doesn't make it right, though.

Get over it, the bottom line is Maui won regardless of travel and as far as financial situation. Take a strong look at your team, I am sorry you do not have one. Why, financial reasons get over it there will never be baseball in St. George again the community does not support it and never will. So, find a new place to complain like a blog for needle point.

Hey, it's the aptly named Lunkhead. Chiming in with absolutely no clue as to what he's talking about, as usual. Proving, once and for all, what we have suspected since his initial post.

I have no ties to STG. Couldn't care less if St. George ever has another professional baseball team. Frankly, I can't see it happening there, if the only option is Dixie State College.

Maui's playing Chico. It is what it is, and so is the GBL.

By the way, little fella, how's that needlepoint blog working out for you? I'm really not interested, but, hey, if that's what floats your boat, go for it.
