Congrats to Trinity's trio for being named Academic All-District 1st team: Bentz, Clements, Hirschberg.

Well done, and well-deserved!

Just watched Speer overmatch Howard-Simmons tonight.  The big soph is really coming into his own.

Speer  7-0 1.52
Lucero 8-1 2.37 (27-3 career)
Alig     4-1 3.00

That starting trio, 5-6 solid arms in the pen, a healthy Jon Hall to anchor the line-up, and a defense that has played much better, is encouraging for Trinity fans as they head into the SCAC tourney.

That first game against Dallas and Bossert should be dynamite.

Can Tigers (33-7) absorb a hiccup and still get a Pool C?

Is Trinity the first to notch 30 wins?

I think so, but even if they end at 34 or 35, they haven't beaten anybody... Probably no chance for a Pool C, especially with SCIAC and NWC looking like potential 2-bid conferences.

TU has bounced back nicely since dropping 2 tough ones at home against Centenary before Easter, winning 6 in a row.  I know, they haven't really played anyone, but they seem to be playing better defense, and their pitching appears to be deeper than in recent years - Speer and Alig have been very impressive since taking on starting roles, the bullpen has been 4 or 5 deep, and Lucero continues to pile up W's as their staff leader (quite a career in San Antonio for the senior, 26-3 overall). 

As many who are smarter than I am have noted on these boards, it is pitching and defense that gets you through the post-season, so maybe this bodes well for the Tigers as the regular season wraps up this weekend.

Just watched the TU vs.TLU replay today - unfortunate dirty play (watch for yourself - it was blatant) to end the game, as TLU batter grounds into 5-2-3 DP and spikes first baseman and cleanup hitter Donnan - they had to help him off the field; hopefully he recovers in time for the conference tournament, as that would be a bad loss for the Tigers.

If they aren't doing things as they should, why shouldn't shots be taken?  As for reported, thats kind of ridiculous.  108 isn't even being all that argumentative.  Relax a little

Who said things aren't being done as they should? Do you have some evidence that they're not?

By the way, I reported this post to the moderator pending your evidence. Ball's in your court.

Ooh - somebody is in trouble now.   .

Spence, what fine institution's honor are you defending?

Anybody know what format the conference tournament will follow in 2013?

Any report on the Fall WS in San Antonio?  Not many seniors on that roster.

Any prognosticators ready to take a early stab at the 2012 SCAC favorites?
