I had the honor of playing for Coach Meyer a few years back and he is one of my all time favorite coaches. He was more dedicated to The University of Concordia athletics program than any person I have ever met. On the field he is as knowledgable and competitve as it gets. Off the field he is an all around guy and a dedicated family man. Being from the Round Rock area, I wouldn't be surprised to see him take one of the local High School teams to State in the near future. This guy is good!!   

CTX is only playing a hand full of games at the dell diamond, all of which are non conference. their home field this year will be nelson field, an aisd field. i have seen a few high school games there, good from far, but far from good. night games could become a home field advantage, depending on how often they get to practice under the lights. lighting is poor at best.

returning to school from the holidays and seeing the grass on the field nearing perfection is always a great time of the year. its that time of year to tighen up your spikes and get out the thermals because the best always put in a couple extra hours of work. lets hope that this year will be as exciting as the last. i also heard CTX landed a couple of horses from san jac. now its time to see if they are thoroughbreds or quarter horses. its good to be back.

some players talk with their mouth and others talk with their play!!! most good players are the latter.

It looks like the West is going to come down to the last game. I haven't followed HPU much this year, but they have put up some pretty large numbers in the runs column. Right now they are tied for 2nd, however, they have the toughest schedule down the stretch with: HSU, @McM, UMHB....with this, i dont see them making the playoffs.

I have UMHB and McM staying where they are, and CTX locking in 3rd with a series sweep over SU the last weekend of the year.

I think that the 4th and final spot goes to the winner of the final game of the year between HSU @ TLU. And as bad as TLU has played ALL YEAR, I think they find a way into the playoffs. They have the weakest schedule down the stretch...i see them sweeping SRSU, 2 from SU, and 2 from HSU. With their past... it is always hard for me to count those guys out.

16 out of 21 here.
did better on the east side, which i dont keep up with as much. go figure!

My picks for this weekend:

McM sweeps SU
HPU 2-3 SRSU
CTX 2-3 HSU
TLU 2-3 UMHB

OU sweeps LeT
UTT 2-3 UTD
LC 2-3 ETBU

I will agree that UMHB MIGHT lose an ASC championship game to Ozarks or UT Tyler, but I do not think we could even suggest Concordia being there.

Hey you Concordia folks are the ones that penciled in UMHB in the finals and said they would get smoked by one of the east powerhouses.

No, fungoman...it was definatley you who put them in the championship game...where they, MIGHT, lose to Ozarks or UT-T. you speak of this, MIGHT, as if they should just stop playing now and give them the trophy! as if Ozarks or UT-T are the only teams who have any kind of slight chance to beat these guys. they are having a GREAT year and i look forward to them going forward, but lets let it play out a little before we start handing hardware out!

i think the UT-Dallas season is already over. what happened to those guys? as for the UMHB comment, i'm trying to get THE_CRU_05 back in here. I figured that comment might catch his attention and i would HARDLY consider that "bashing." you act like they are already in the championship game! we still have a long season ahead of us fungoman!

THE_CRU_WHERE_ARE_YOU

browncat00.....some people aren't as fortunate as others to have been able to play this great game at a high level. it is nice to see the game being viewed in different perspectives. i think you need to look at yourself in the mirror and really look at the person you have become, not so nice .

THE_CRU_05

where did you go? with the CRU making a name for themselves, you would think he would be blowing this board up. he must have been a one hit wonder like the CRU is going to be this year!!! it is your time to shine the_cru_05....better make it last while you can!!!

his stats are a little more thorough than the regular stats.

The speed lists (team and player) use Baseball Prospectus' SPEED stat, the defensive efficiency numbers are the percentage of balls in the field of play that are turned into outs,

i think this is how the SPEED stat works.

CUAfan....is there anything else you could add? he is our webpage stat guy and knows more about these stats than most of us.

it is an acronym for something, but i am not sure what.
