Whitney Young 2007 Summer Team

In Summer League action.......Young over Lane 3-1.

Young scores 3 Runs on 10 Hits.

Buddy Herberg - Winning Pitcher

Notables for Young were Troy White who went 2 for 3, Gabe Henriques 2 for 3 and Valmar Jordan 2 for 3 plus a walk.

A pretty 5-6-3 Double Play and Rosa out in Left makes quite a play.

Evanston tomorrow.

"Yes Dear!"

Tomorrow at Whitney Young it is the Dominican Republic National Team versus the 2007 Whitney Young Varsity - Game Time 1:00 pm.

Gee mom...that really hit the spot...thanks!

Gee, that sounds like a BIG TIME game "dolphin mom".

gw... those cookies and milk would really hit the spot right about now!

Just saw WY play a game. I didn't realize how many travel ball players they had. A bunch of nice young men as well as good players. Gowder, Cinoman, Ormand, Rosa, Dai Bowden.

Jason Ormand started, had good command and looked very poised on the mound. The short stop, Whitehouse (I think) is excellent.

Who won the game against the Dominican Republic National Team?

What was the age-group of the DRNT?

I hear they are 16-19.

Dolphin Mom...

Are you telling me that Whitney Young's summer team beat the Dominican Republic National Junior Team that will be playing in the World Championships later this year?

Or, was it a bunch of "hamburgers" from the Dominican doing a "tour" of the US?

BeenThere...

What exactly does a Dominican Hamburger taste like?

From what I heard it was the 2007 regular Varsity squad, re-united, who played the Dominican Team. It was sposed to be a decent team. My friend said they hit the ball pretty hard.

So WY lost to Niles North but they beat the Dominican national team?

Why knock Niles North? A lot of summer games depend on who is playing with the high school that day or who is with their travel team.

Both teams played well. That game had nothing to do with the quality of the Dominican team. Niles North had a guy pitching that throws heat. He was clocked cosistently between 87-89 at Frozen Ropes in April. No gun that day, but the loss did not reflect badly on WY.

I was not knocking NN. I am just amazed that WY can lose to a team that was 1-15 in conference and 10-23 overall during the spring, but comeback with a win against a team that is comprised of some of the best players in the Dominican Republic.

That is, if it really was the National team and not just a team made up of the people that can afford it no matter their talent level.

I completely understand your point.
Niles North only has 3 guys starting that played in the spring, plus a new head coach.

Not knocking the old coach at all, just saying it is a different team, so the record doesn't reflect where they are now.

A couple of things...

Summer League for the most part means little to nothing until the playoffs in terms of who beats who.

Mark Ormand is a genius. He has promoted WY to the point where a pretty decent team (my son's sub-.500 team had little trouble with them this year or any of the 4 years they played them) has people thinking they are any more special than many other teams around.

My prediction is that they will be a good team next year but will be over rated at the beginning of the season.

Good luck to all.

Why does WY even have its own thread for summer ball? If every team did this, we would have to scroll for pages and pages just to find the appropriate place to comment.

Maybe WY should join the rest of the "common folk" and post in the general summer league thread.
