Lots of chatter about one game, SM vs. MD. Lots more HS Baseball ahead! Relax everybody, there’s talent all over the place. Every year isn’t always like this. Enjoy it while you can. May the best team end up in the Winner Circle!

KO – well said.
Gary M. – did your son get cut at SM? As I mentioned in an earlier post, if a team can beat MD @ MD in a big league game at night by playing a near flawless game, then their coaching is fine.
My unbiased opinion, both MD & SM will be right in the middle of their league race (I haven’t seen any other Trinity league team but Servite, they seem a little down by their standards).

Duuuudes. What is wrong with all of you. MD wasn’t going undefeated this year. It’s almost impossible for any team to go undefeated in SoCal high school baseball. There is too much talent. You all are rattling sabers about absolutely nothing. Santa Margarita will be in the thick of things this year. So will MD. If anything comes out of this game, it should be that there is a ton of talent on most teams, and you better be ready to play every night, or someone will hand you your backside. Watch out for J Serra, because they have some great players. OLu will revive as well. Let’s see where things stand at the end of league. The last week should have some great games, and then folks can start puffing their chests out. Those games will have more meaning.

Hey floeasy, Villa Park is a very good team. I do not believe it was the SM people discounting Villa Park, it was the other team mentioned in this article. The first game of the double header was a very close 2-1 game inito the 5th inning and the game got out of hand after that. We had only 2 hits that game and you are not going to win too many games scoring 1 run on 2 hits, your pitcher did a good job! I do believe our bats have heated up a bit since then. Good Luck and keep winning!

I like how you guys talk about each other and then throw Villa Park in as the low-life team. Villa Park shut SM down in the first game of a double header 8 -1, and according to my eyes it was pretty good pitching or as you would say, an OFF day. The second game, SM got all there runs early, off VPs 7th pitcher in the rotation and only won that game by 2 runs. Villa park doesn’t have enough hitting to stay up with the big boys of certain leagues over the long run, but they do have some pretty good pitching, look it up! Sm earned there victory and so did VP, so don’t throw VP under the bus to make you feel better, VP has no fear in playing either team, and were a public school. ( VP is 3-0 so far, OH we also beat powerful Dana Point, ah another OFF-Day I guess!

Time to move on! SM now has to turn their attention to a really good Orange Lutheran team on Wed and a J Serra team ready to prove they are ready to make a run at the Trinity League as well!

Way to much written on one game. Let’s all wait to see what happens but if tradition, talent and coaching have anything to say about the direction of a team, then you have to tip your hat to Mater Dei. This was a wake up call to them. I do have to say congrats to SM as well! It’s good to see the Trinity League loaded again with tremedous D1 talent.

Fans generally think that “their’ team is better than they really are. Mater Dei has great tradition and a dedicated fan base. Team success is based on what happens on the field not what is written by fans and haters on blogs. SM won the game and deserves credit today regardless of what happens tomorrow. MD may win every game they play from here on out but it won’t change what happened on Saturday night. Congratulations to SM.
