The all americans roster was just updated and i was looking at it again and it loks as though Mike Tingely is no longer on it and thats is there final roster to start the season now it changes durning season up to a certian point but I am curious why he is no longer on the roster.

As much as I have bashed Eastern this year when they were down and out early they truly have a real shot a winning this thing this year if they swing the bats like they have been all year and the pitching is somewhat there I reall dont see a team in the final 8 that can match them with the bats and ther pitching is probally like 2nd or 3rd there but there offense will be what carries them to the championship in my option

Nick Conway from Umass-Boston is not yet listed on the roster But he will again be playing in the NECBL for the Lowell All Americans this year. After last year starting the summer playing down the Cape for the Brewster Whitecaps and then being offered a Contract to finish the summer with the Sanford Mainers and did that but this year he will be starting the season in the NECBL for the Lowell All Americans.

Yes I was at the game and I have to say that was one of the best baseball games I have seen in a long time.
As far as today goes  they are throwing Conway againist UMD

I will let you know what happens hopefully I am on here talking about a win in about 6 hours and whos next for them BEACONS.

Just what I like to see another umb doubter perfect....
Umb ace is Nick Conway he won conference pitcher of the year last year to ask if there ace is as good as all the other aces in the league is just plain dumb he is the easily #1 or #2 in this conference as the best pitcher in this league. And not only is there #1 soli dthere #2 and #3 easily stack up with the rest of this league so Joul do me a favor dont make comments on teams you know absoutly nothing about.

As I stated earlier this team is going very deep in this tourney how deep is the question but THEY WILL BEAT KSC tommorow @ 3:30 and thats another fact.

We are less than 24 hours from tourney time and I think this has the makeings of one of the best little east tourneys in years with 5 teams out of 6  that can have a real shot to take it down.

Listen wordsmith you need to figure it out it doesnt mater who you beat as long as you get the job done and when you win games that builds confidence am I wrong?? This team just took a little while to find its stride and now that they have found it. I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW KEENE STATE COLLEGE WILL LOSE TO UMB on wendesday and those are the stats that I am telling you there wordsmith and you can say whatever you want. And I am still kinda curious if maybe you were cut by UMB and you are just upset??? Because for some reason you dont know how to give credit were credit is due.

Predictions for Wendesays round 1
ECSU over UMD
UMB over KSC
USM over RIC

Everyone leave there predictions on the opening day of the tourney

Wordsmith I dont know if someone from UMASS-BOSTON slept with your girlfriend or what the deal is but the simple fact that you think this team has no shot to win this tourney is just plain stupied. This team has the 2nd best 1 2 3 in this league with the emergance of Andriano and with Conway and Soto behind ECONN 123 there aint any team that can get outs like this staff. Let me throw some stats out at you there wordsmith and whoever else is doubting this squad in the last 6 conference games (all wins by the way) They have been letting up only 3.6 rpg with Conway and soto winning 2 of those games and Andriano winning 1 and pitching well enough to win both.

Now to the hitting they started off very very slow but they have picked it up as of late in there last 6 conference games (all wins by the way for the 2nd time) they are averaging a robust 8.3 rpg and 11.5 hits per game

So the simple facts of the matter are these if they keep hitting like they have been they will win this tourney because the pitching is always going to be there and when the hittings there they are one of the top 2 teams in this conference.

Ladies and gentlemen we have finally come to the point in the season we have all been waiting for ITS TOURNEY TIME. This is going to be alot of fun and with a team like Keene who used up both there #1 and #2 starter they are in alot of trouble againist the hottest teaming coming into the tourney (barring ECONN obviously) The Beacons of UMASS BOSTON who have won 6 straight league games and look like a team poised to make a deep run into this tourney and take it down. 

I agree with all the New England Pitchers there they are all really good pitchers with great arms and the fact that they get no love like the pitchers in the midwest and west get is awful If we put the top 10 arms in New England Vs. the top 10 arms in any other regions They would beat any one of them in my option.

Everyone here can keep giving me a hard time thats fine You all can just keep talking about how much of a long shot it is. But the fact of the matter is this team had they geled alot earlier then now they would easily have been in 3rd place in this conference at least. They have still been in all there games in conference the bats just werent there and like I have said earlier in this tourney pitching matters. And from were I am sitting they have the the 2nd best  1 2 3 pitchers in this conference they are a close second behind econn. And now that the bats are working this team is a buzzsaw and the whole LEC is going to run into them. 

Hahaha those are some fantastic stats there Kscer but let me shoot you a little bit of info here pal Keene State from what I saw is an average team at best when they beat Umass Boston in both those games they needed all the help they could get from the umpires. I dont know if you were there but I was and in game if we decided to swing that bat much like we are now then it would have been a wrap and in the second game well lets just say the umpire wanted to be the star of that game by calling a balk that change the whole momentum of the game as much as I hate to tell you Kscer Keene state isnt that good of a team they are very beatable. I am actually hoping UMB gets the fifth seed and since I know for a fact that Keene is going to get swept this week Vs. ECONN and will get the 2 seed so we can expose you for the very average team that you are UMB will win the conference tournament with there top three pitchers in Conway, Andriano and Soto pitching the way they are hitters finally starting to come together and gel you could throw whoever you want in front of this team with it be Strongmen and KSU , Gilbliar and ECSU or Katt Williams (Eddie Skeffington) and USM they will knock them all down Because right now we cant be beat we hung with the so called 3rd best team in the league with our 6th best pitcher at best yesterday in Ryan Murphy. You take this down right now two weeks from now we will be talkign about UMB in the New England regionals and those are my facts for you Kscer.

Tourney time is right aroubnd the corner boys and its shapeing up to be a great tourney as usaul with Keene and eastern battleing for the #1 seed there are battles all over the conference for postioning there are offically 4 teams that have already qualified for the tourney those being UMB after SWEEPING the huskies of USM for the 1st time in school history. you got Econn and KSU obviously and USM is also in and I am going to love how the seeds shake out because other then the fact that we know those 4 teams are in and the fact the we know Econn and KSU are going to be the #1 and 2 teams the rest of the seeding is up in the air its going to be a fantastic tournament I am am calling it right now I I predict niether KSU or ECONN is going to win the conference tourney. Bold prediction yes I know but as ECSUalum said ANYTHINg  can happen and there is one team inpaticular that is schorching hot right now in the LEC. Figure out who I am talkign about boys they are my pick to take down this years LEC tourney. 

Well that everyone is talking about the big matchup next week I am going to throw little UMB in the mix here the swept plymouth today in plymouth which  BOOSTED the chances at not only getting into the tourney but the #5 seed in the tourney.

Predictions for next week Econn takes both the tourney will be held in mansfield.

Umass finally figured out how to come up with a clutch hit today at some points in the game. Now lets see if we can get on a run and get into the tourney and make some noise This win could turn the tide of there season there was alot more fire in there eyes after the win today HUGE WIN.

Not to be lost in all this the umpiring was not great again today Flaherty was thrown out of the game for argueing a call when the pitcher threw it to the shortstop at his postion on a pick off move now I know thats a balk but apparently mr. Flaherty didnt think so the strike son was inconsisent was the only problem with todays umps.
