Easton 2010 Showdown Predictions

Should be some pretty good matchups in group A.
I'll go with Chatsworth. It would be interesting to see Valdez go up against Chatsworth.

Group B: Moorpark

Group C: I have no idea how good the other teams are so I'll go with Agoura.

Group D:Crespi

Group E: West Ranch

Group F: Westlake - sorry.

Group G: Camarillo

Group H: El Camino

I really have no idea how good anyone is this year so these are purely guesses.

These are all the first games that teams play so it is pretty difficult to predict. I took a look at the summer VIBL standings are was surprised with the end results from a couple of teams. I did not see any Winter VIBL scores. Here they are:

A
Chatsworth
Alemany
I don’t think Hueneme is deep enough to get through.

B
Moorpark
Santa Monica
I believe SM has a couple of stud pitchers.

C
Agoura
Harvard-Westlake
Cleveland graduated a bunch of Sr’s.

D
Crespi
Quartzhill
Kennedy was middle of the pack in VIBL and I think QH may beat them.

E
West Ranch
Palmdale
Chaminade was middle of the pack in VIBL and Palmdale has some players and might knock them off.

F
Hart
Ventura
TO and Weslake were horrid in summer VIBL so Ventura has a chance to get in.

G
Valencia
Camarillo
Easy pick. (famous last words….)

H
El Camino
Buena
Buena has a very balanced team and has a 90MPH sleeper. Their coaching is weak so they might not get through, particularly early season.

BOF,
I pretty much used Summer VIBL as a guideline but you have to be careful with Westlake. I doubt very much that Cuneo or Yelich played very much during summer VIBL until the playoffs and it wouldn't surprise me if Nieves and Wise weren't there very often either.

There's a reason they turned around and beat Moorpark in the Summer VIBL playoffs.

Now that I look at your posts, two teams from each pool move forward FWIW. I was kind of thinking that...but hey there is always hope. (and delusion)

Did they change the format? I thought group winners went into a pool, the second place teams went into a pool, etc. Everybody goes forward.

D'Oh...you are right I missread the flyer....at least I have my second place teams posted.

Bumping ahead of the spam.

Pools are here.

Easton Results

Pool winners so far:
A. Hueneme
B. Rio Mesa
C. Agoura
D. Crespi
E. West Ranch
F. Ventura
G. Camarillo
H. Simi

Looking at your link I think Moorpark wins their's also.

Moorpark and Rio Mesa are both 2-0, allowed 1 run and scored 9 runs. Coin flip?

Will they let me pick? Moorpark is a better team IMO - we have seen them both. I guess Monday eve all of the next games get set because of the "rainouts"....no rain what a bunch of wimps we are in SoCal...see a few clouds and call the games off.

Looks like Crespi will get in the top bracket if they win based on runs allowed. Either Camarillo or Valencia will be 2-0 so there will have to be a "coin flip" between Moorpark and Rio Mesa. That may mean that Rio Mesa gets in the top bracket since Moorpark is the host. The rain pattern was different from what we normally get with a band running inland of us and a band running west of us during the day on Saturday. It rained pretty heavily in some of the more inland areas.

I see Rio Mesa won the "coin flip" as anticipated.

Ventura plays Crespi tomorrow at LA Valley College. Don't know about the rest.

Good luck.

All of the games and divisions are up now at your link.

WR crushed Hueneme.
Crespi d Ventura.
Rio Mesa v Simi
Agoura v Camarillo

Championship bracket
Rio Mesa v Crespi
West Ranch v Camarillo

Consolation bracket
Ventura v Simi
Agoura v Hueneme

Saw the Hueneme score...wow. However conditions were brutal yesterday - 30MPH winds gusts to 50, cold, survivor baseball.

Crespi d Rio Mesa
Camarillo d West Ranch
Simi d Ventura
Moorpark d Hart

All of the scores are now up. Agoura/Hueneme looked good, as well as the Camarillo/West Ranch. Moorpark beat Hart. Next games are not up yet but Crespi and Camarillo play for the Championship.

winners vs winners, losers v losers with minor adjustments at times to keep league opponents from playing each other or to minimize driving distances.

Crespi wins Easton over Camarillo 4 - 2. On their way to the number 1 So Cal ranking....according to the LA Times. Congrats to Crespi - solid team.
