Its a shame that we cant have two teams from the ASC but if it didnt happen from past teams then I dont believe it will happen this year either. On the the first round of playoffs who do yall have going to the championship round? Any upsets or surprises?

As far as the east and what from I can get through the records Ozarks only hope to make the tourney is if they sweep ETBU and UTD takes the series from LC since both UTD and LC have the tie breaker over Ozarks. With that said I going to go with UTT, MC, UTD, LC in the tourney for the east. Not saying this is going to happen just going with what I think is logical for the east and west in my opinion.

I agree with you swbaseball3. TLU pretty much has the west sealed up and can def seal the west with a win tomorrow because if that is so HSU or McM would have to sweep either one and then have help from Concordia to get first. They way I look at it the 4 teams going to the tourney are going to be TLU, HSU, McM, UMHB. The seed will depend on who wins this next weekend. Im not counting out SR but they would need help. Concordia blew there chances by losing the series to Schreiner. Going to be an interesting last weekend especially if UMHB can sweep HPU tmrw.

Will the new University be playing in the ASC next year?......My predictions for this weekend are going to be McM 2-1 against SR, I would love to see HSU take 2-1 from TLU but it is going to be a task since its a home series for TLU. UMHB needs to sweep HPU but I am going to say they take 2-1 from HPU because home series for HPU. Concordia 3-0 against SU, they need to take care of business and not underestimate Schreiner.

Yes Chris Maldonado is referred to as Paul Gonzales under the ascsports website. I have no idea why. What are everyones predictions for this upcoming weekend??

Very interesting and exciting weekend. I have no idea what happened to the first game with TLU this weekend I guess they just came in with the wrong attitude. HSU found out the hard way it looked like that SR can play this year a lil bit. Good job to UMHB for getting a series win. Looks like McM is on a role right now playing good ball and starting to figure it out. Solid starts by the 3 starters for McM (hewitt, smith, semchenko) Hewitt pitched a heck of a game to start the series off right. Maldonado and Davis are doing their job out of the pen looks like Maldonado is setup guy while Davis is the closer...which he shouldve been all year in my opinion. If McM is ahead in the later innings going to be hard to beat them with Maldonado and Davis. Mullins is putting up his numbers like he should be as well the rest of the team is playing ball overall. Going to come down to the very end like always for all the marbles. Great next two weeks of ball coming up see who can control their destiny.

I agree with Just Some Guy and I havent really paid attention to SRU schedule so thats why I was shocked bout HPU taking 2 out 3. I believe it will come down to the end like always and if teams want to insure they make it to the tourney then a big part of it is getting sweeps when you suppose to sweep at team.

On a side note I was looking at this past weekend with McM and came across that they didnt walk a single batter the entire weekend. Maybe things are starting to shape up over there. I hope so because it has been rough.

Things are just starting to get heated up. I dont know if HSU can sweep HPU and SRU just because of the fact they lost a game to SU. Looked like a good series this past weekend with TLU taking 2-1 to UMHB. Also looked like the HSU and Concordia series was a good one with 3 close games. Kind of a shock to see HPU take 2-1 against SRU but it happens. McM had a good series against SU eventhough it wasnt much of competition. Looks like McMurry has found a rotation with the starters (Hewitt, Smith, Semchenko) then two main guys out of the pen (Maldonado, Davis). McM bats have started turning things around and actually playing ball be interesting to see how the upcoming series against Concordia will be. Any news on if the Concordia's field is done? As of right now TLU has the upper hand in the conference after taking series against McM and UMHB. Going to be interesting rest of the way as usual.

I agree with what both of yall have said. Baker has done a good job at second and should've stayed there, but as far as third I dont think they know what to do. Nobody has just stood out or is consistent over there. Be interesting to see how the Head Coach will deal with this dilemma. If McM wants to make it to the postseason they are going to have to cut out the errors and quit giving games away.

I pick TLU to win the series if not sweep UMHB all depends on how the other two starters for TLU can pitch. Sul Ross 2-1 against HPU eventhough it will be interesting to see how they can recover after the they got shutout for the first time this year this past weekend. The HSU and Concordia series will be a toss up but I am going to go with Concordia because they have a little more moment after the series win against SRU.

McMurry had a great victory tonight against Trinity. It looked like they had a big inning where they had 8 consecutive singles and had a big seven run inning. Looks like the hitting is starting to come around because looking back at this past weekend the last two game McMurry was hitting the ball well. Still had some errors that need to be worked on because it did let Trinity back into the game but they were able to have a clutch hit to score bottom of the 8th to go up 11 to 10. Cory Davis had a great relief appearance tonight and in my opinion he looks better in tight situations than starting. Jeff Jackson had a great weekend and continued hitting well in this game and some of the other hitters are making progress. Hopefully this is a turn around for McM. http://www.mcmurrysports.com/news/2010/3/23/BSB_0323101627.aspx

I agree with you dbat.....Sul Ross is doing good but not use to success as much as the teams you mentioned. McMurry had an eye opening experience this weekend when they lose a game that they were ahead 6 to 0 pretty much halfway thru it. In order for them to be successful the team as whole is going to just have to play the game and the freshman are going to have to step up better. You cant use the excuse of being a young and inexperienced team now because you halfway thru the season and have had plenty of chances to grow up. Dakota Smith and Zach Hewitt have made good starts the past couple of weeks but the defense lets em down or the offense cant hit. I hope to see them sweep Shreiner because it is one of the series you should sweep. Going to be an interesting rest of the way for them.

Well the series didnt turn out quite like I was expecting it to be....but it was a good series....Orosey pitch a great game and I give him all my best in the rest of the season because he is a great pitcher. The first game started out like it was going to be close one and Cory Davis was pitching great until the lil blooper pop fly that was dropped in the infield then I dont know what happened I guess he let it get to him and everything just snowballed after that. The second game Dakota Smith pitched a great game....looked like he was back to his old ways when he pitched in '08. The third game was good and Zach Hewitt kept McM within striking distance but the TLU pitcher did a good job pitching and the bats went silent after a great game before that. TLU is an good team and will be the team to beat in the west. As for Dakota not starting the first game I dont know why he didnt, but I was looking back at the games he has pitched and they have all been the 7 inning games so it looks like he will be pitching those games I am presuming. Great Job to the other teams in the conference as well, it looks like it is going to be another great season.

Your very correct on the fielding stats and they have had trouble on that part of it. If they cut out the errors this weekend I believe they will give TLU more than they can handle. McM has had a brutal schedule but I think it will do them good in the end. What are everyone elses picks for the first round of conference play? I think it will be a toss up with HSU vs UMHB this weekend but I will go with HSU....I pick Concordia to win 2-1 against HPU but no little on both of those teams so im just pickin one.....I pick Sul Ross to sweep Schreiner because Sul Ross is just crushing the ball right now.

I agree he has been pretty much unbeatable....but thats why you got to love baseball anyone can win on any given night. Yea they have made lots of errors and that has lead to the high ERA but also the good teams that they played.....I remember going to watch the New Mexico Highlands game and those guys could just flat out hit. Part of it might be the coaching from the new pitching coach and getting adjusted his ways. Im not making an excuses for McM cause that many errors is not acceptable....especially if you want to win against a good team like TLU. In order for McM to win they are going to have to quit making mental mistakes. I have faith in them though and how big of a series this is I bet they are going to come out and play. I will be looking forward to that shout out.
