But then don't other parts of the country finish in April and need to wait for the Regionals etc?

Thanks, I contacted Mr Harper and he referred me to a person at the NCAA as they own the rights to the broadcasts.  Yes, it is fun to see you kid on "TV".

I agree that staying in the winners bracket was a major advantage, thats just part of the format.

Thanks ECSU Alum

Yes it was a great contest.  I must say that we were shocked that ECSU lost in the first round, a Trin alum from last year is the pitching coach at Babson and so I guess he was reaching out from his past to have a hand in the rivalry.

I appreciate the info and will pursue.  While the Final was very exciting, it is another game that I would like to have on DVD so we will see.

Thanks for the good wishes, the boys will do their best to keep New England the home of the Trophy.

LEC Fans:

Is there a way to download a copy of one of the archived games from the recent NCAA Regional?  I would like to keep a personal copy to have over the years.

Thanks

What are the weather conditions?

The W v W series is Saturday/Sunday as opposed to the standard.  Any thoughts as to why?

No, postponed.  No make up date released as of yet.

Not naming a head coach makes for difficult recruiting conditions, even at an academic powerhouse.

Really looking forward to the Eastern Trinity game tomorrow. Will Trinity throw Bayer on 3 days rest? Who will pitch for Eastern? Im sure Eastern will be fired up for this game after what happened last year. Some real good talent on both teams, should be some great baseball.

Hard to predict the Coach's rotation selection, lots of good choices, let's hope the weather clears up and the game goes off as planned.

NESCAC Fans:

We are getting close to the official start of practice and soon thereafter we should have access to the updated rosters and "outlook" summaries.  I hope that will get this Board going with some substantive discussion.  I think the relocation of the NCAA Regionals will be a good thing:  more accessible to fans and perhaps warmer too.  Cape Cod has more hotels and is a sexier place to be, but it was cold and hard to get to.

Any thoughts or info?

There was a link on the D3baseball  page for a New England Outlook, but I could not access it.  If everyone has the same issue, perhaps the folks managing the site will notice this.

What do we have for preseason MIAC rankings by team?  There's usually 3 tiers in the MIAC with STU, STO, Hamline in tier 1. With Bethel, Concordia, GAC, Augsburg in tier 2. and MAC, SMU, Carleton in tier 3....how do you think it will finish out this year?

What are the factors causing these three tiers and what might bring about a change?

Just trying to get to know this league a little better.

Does anyone have thoughts on how Carelton might stack up this year?

ECSU, you are correct...the boarderline pitch was on the tying run...in fact, about half the hopkins bench was already out on the field thinking they had the K and the title!!  The winning run came on 4 pitches that really weren't all that close...

I may be blind, but was at the game.  I believe that the facts are the reverse.  The at bat with all the foul balls was without question the one with the walk that resulted in the wining run.  There was one close ball/strike call there.  The previous at bat, the walk that resulted in the tying run, did not have close judgement calls and I am not sure there was even a strike thrown.

I think DGilblair deserves a Karma point or 2 on his last post!!!!!!!

One comment to that next to last at bat,( where the Trinity player fouled off about 6-7 pitches.

The ball four was REEL close to being a strike, if i remember , and if called a strike, the Blue Jays are the National Champs.  The Bantams owe one to the Umpire behide home plate!!

For the record, the last statement is not necessarily true.  If the umpire had called that a strike, the score would have been tied and it would have gone to extra innings.  Trinity had plenty of pitching in the tank.
