Really, Shine?   Never knew you were a double agent.
All this time I thought you were a Pointer fan, pretty disappointing how you rolled over on them upon request.
I bet Coach Bloom would be really happy with your sharing your "wealth of knowledge" here.
Sure hope I can "assist" you like you did your "beloved" Pointers sometime in the near future...

The reality of the whole thing is this Pointer team rolled over some really good, and ranked, opponents early this season, and when the bats "wake up" they can beat any D3 opponent out there-  nuf said...

I have been Shine's biggest critic at times on here, but if you actually think he provided any information that other teams didn't already have you are nuts... 

As far as the "really good and ranked opponents" Point beat early in the season, how many finished the season ranked?  That is more telling about how good a team actually is, and not a preseason ranking.

Heck no, I don't think that there is any info there that he couldn't have found otherwise, I guess I am just confounded with how quickly and completely Shine rolled over and "gave it up". Why not make the TigerFan work for it???

What the hell one more rant but in all reality being as serious as I can be.  It's been a long roller coaster ride of a season as a pointer fan with a ton of nights of no sleep trying to figure out how this team has underachieved for the most part.  The biggest issue not to be over critical is the catcher position.  Last year point had Ryan Schilter who was virtually impossible to steal on which a program such as point or whitewater should be able to recruit more often than not.  I give credit to Harry steldt it's not that he's horrible by any means he just has that ball or two get by him every game it seems.  I am not sure if the coaching staff were confident in the catchers they had or just couldn't land someone a little more skilled.  They have tried four different catchers this year and two are freshman.  That being said they have had more success throwing guys out than I thought however it seems like teams are advancing bases way too easily at times.  Another noticeable area of concern is poor base running but I think a lot of it is based on the team being over aggressive when facing good pitching.  Point has struggled badly with good pitchers in the Wiac like plaza and cejka but I'm guessing linfield and a few other teams in that regional will have even better.  On a positive note point basically has three number one caliber starters who can beat any lineup when on and their d comes to play.  Jp feyerison was the Wiac pitcher of year last year but has been up and down this year.  I had heard there was potential for him to go in top ten rounds prior to the season.  He has an above average slider but this wisconsin spring weather certainly affected his ability to use it.  I believe he's consistently high 80s and tops at 91.  Cam seidl was the Wiac pitcher of year two years ago and had tommy john surgery last year.  He's pitched very well for the most part and did his part the other day in loss to lacrosse.  If I had to guess he'll get the ball game one he seems unfazed and is basically a bulldog.  My personal favorite pitcher is Luke Watson he's the best statistically and has electric stuff.  I would still roll the dice and go cam Jp and Luke given the quality of competition point will be facing.  Point has a pretty solid bullpen in prebelski and flood although point has used flood as a starter as of late.  Point only has one lefty pitcher in wendorf and he's capable when hitting the strike zone.  Points staff has shown early in the year their capable of beating good competition but it's been a while since they've beaten anyone good.  As for points lineup they are more than capable but struggle mightily with solid pitchers.  They most recently were dominated by plaza from whitewater and cejka from lacrosse.  No way I'm giving in to mccugh with a fastball for any reason.  They have some real solid players in Kranz mccugh and coady although I feel coady had a down year with the bat.  They have an experienced outfield with Barnes gregorich and coady.  Finally I feel this team is nowhere near where they were last year.  In dan Douglas Ryan Schilter and Sean Gerber they lost three guys that could be argued are to 5 all time at their respective positions at point.  The pitching staff with seidl healthy is better but there have been a lot of walks hit batters and wild pitches.

Regarding Bloom- don't forget that he teaches Sports Psychology at Point as well...

so, if Bloom was to get the AD job I have to assume that would end his coaching career at UWSP, correct?

Big weekend in Duluth with CSS scheduled to host Presentation. Weather, as is typical for Spring in northern Minnesota looks doubtful though...

Weather Reports look like Point will get two in at superior tomorrow- Friday looks iffy though.
