I am waiting for the CNU - Platteville stats to be updated on the USA South site then going to do some stats but wondering

1. Best batting line up
2. Best Defense
3. Best starting pitching
4. best bull pen
5. best closer

Anyone have thoughts?

Here are my thoughts
1. SU - CNU (3 weeks we will find out)
2. MU
3. CNU - 1-5 getting it done - it is not all about your number 1 it is about your entire staff and CHitsay may be best in conference but is close
4. CNU period
5. Fleischmann or Veridillo which ever Harvell wants to use - Look at the conference stats if you don't believe me.

Ugh!!  Winters seem to get longer every year.  Can't wait for the "spring" season which starts for some schools the first week of Feb.  We'll be watching CNU without HokieOne and his bride this year - sure to be wierd without them - they were an institution.  Hokie if you are still checking in on D3 - wish Parker the best for us and a Merry Christmas to the Neal family.  Maybe we will see you at a game this year.  Only 53 days to go. 

Nova,
I am with you, to Parker congrats and to HokieOne thank you for being so nice and making the transition from HS parent to college parent very nice. To all the CNU parents and players I have enjoyed becoming part of the family and everyone has been so nice. To all a happy holidays and a happy coming season! Go Captains.

    Not bad, Captains lose to William and Mary, 4-1, 6 CNU pitchers got in a little work before the tournament, Lenda throws out all 3 attempted base stealers, CNU's 3-4 hitters, Neal and Saunders, get two hits each.  CNU pitchers gave up 3 earned runs. Cool and dreary at Plumeri Park, but a nice tuneup all the way around.

    Now the biggie for everyone!  Burlington.  And there is a Krispy Kreme there somewhere!   

Well I think the word for the weather last night was COLD. It was nice to see the game, W&M was a good host and it gave both teams a chance to get pitchers work. I hope that both team consider doing this yearly. The hitting was a not to bad but a little spotty so lets go Captains get hot. And the important question is if "the light is on" at Krispy Kreme?

CNUBall who pitched for CNU?

Death by Twitter! SU and CNU in the 13th! No live stats just Twitter updates every 30 minutes or so! I did not get to go to the game, and yes I believe my son pitched tonight but no box scores nothing... dying here! HokieOne save me!

i agree that su parlayed a weak ooc schedule into a regional birth and had a magic run at the end of the year, but please learn how to use there, their and they're correctly...d3 student-athletes are supposed to be smarter than the average bear

Hey Narch look over their, there coming with they'er bats and balls!!! just kidding. Everyone have a good night.

It was very nice to see all the young CNU arms throw. CNU looks like they have good arms for the next 4 years.

I thinl it is that with Mr. Van Sickler you know what you are going to get. He will probably meet the hype, the questions with SU start after he is done on the mound.

I think that it is going to be very important for every school to have freshman step up and the one that has that happen I think will do the best in conference play. With that said it will be interesting to see how has the best freshman class to build off of.

Snow, snow go away!

I am liking Methodist to win the regular season.  They were young and return a lot.

i like your thinking, but i want to wait until i start seeing some updated rosters before making any predictions...i think the monarchs certainly have the pieces to be very good, though...

With the way Methodist was playing at the end of the season I bet you are hoping they come out strong. From what I have been told if you start slow in the regular season you end up play for the tourney is that correct?

Ok now that everyone is back in school and starting to get to work preparing for the season is everyone as excited to get baseball started as I am?

All,
Thanks for the great insight, and you guys are smart to, my son is going to CNU, but I have coach and followed baseball since he was tiny, so I know the kids around here I am following them also. I will be cheering for CNU but following all the young men I have watched grow up on a ball field. I think that the dogfight analogy is perfect as the teams in the USAS are all strong. Where is Shenadoah going next year? I have heard that a couple of times. Once again thanks for the input, and I will guard my knowledge as to not give to much away!

As a new parent of a USA South ball player I am  looking forward to the coming season. I do not know a lot about the USAS but do know a little about some of the players that went to schools in the south. I know that Avertt picked upsome good hitting and middle infield help (probably good enough to see some time as a freshman) and some pitching that is probably a year away. I know that CNU picked up good outfield help and at least one freshman pitch who will be a impact this year, I also heard that got a couple of transfers but not sure. What can everyone tell me about the USAS this year? Thanks and look forward to discussing and trash talking (in good nature only).
