If Trinity is playing sloppy, then they probably are not clicking yet. That is one thing Trinity has always been good for, is good, solid, fundamentally sound baseball. They have had a rough start to their season, losing 4 games to ASC schools.

They have started with a pretty strong schedule though facing UT Dallas, Tyler twice, and not TLU.

dp643,
I apologize for not checking for typos

I'm not saying that Trinity won't gell, I just feel that they haven't gelled just yet. Knowing a little about Trinity I fully expect them to get it going soon. I'm not sure what to make of the TLU comment at the end, but will assume it was harmless.

I have no idea why the word not was before TLU. I probably typed half the message at work and left it up for a while and came back to it and sent without reading it over. No disrespect was intended.

The San Jac transfer at second should be solid and they have a quility shortstop so up the middle they will be good to go like they have been when they had salizar and savier for CTX.

Blackcat00,

At times I've been known to be a bit slow... perhaps you could help us in understanding what your post is in reference to?

I was surprised myself with the 8 errors over the weekend for Concordia. I was referring to the two guys up the middle that they have currently, and should be a solid combo as the likes of Salizar and Savier that Gardner had a few years agao. Hope that helps

What year was that combo up the middle for CUA? I recall watching Salizar and Greg Warren as a pretty solid duo, but for some reason Savier doesn't ring a bell.

2003 the year they went to the World Series. Salizar played second and Savier played Shortstop.

I noticed that when one division plays another division, the games do not count as conference games. Is this correct?
Yes, this is the way that the baseball coaches have voted. (Those games do count as "West In-Region games", which determine seeding in the Regional Tourney and the Pool C bids.)

The 2008 Chair of National D3 Baseball Selection Committee was former McMurry head coach Lee Driggers.

Coach Driggers knew how to construct a schedule. He played the Chapman's and the best schools in the West Region from the NWC, the SCIAC and the SCAC. Those are in-region games were valuable when you look at OWP (Opponent's Winning Percentage) and OOWP (Opponent's Opponent's Winning Percentage)

I give Coach Driggers the credit in the pushing this vote thru!

I am happy that this is the situation. I think that the baseball coaches use their non-divisional games most effectively of the ASC sports.

I think there are some teams out there that make the schedule too easy so that they can make it into the Regional with a good record but not play anyone like UTD did in 2005. Some teams need to get better thats why MCM is good when it comes time to playing in ASC west play

Whitter 2 MCM 0 bottom 3

If im not mistaken dont you have to win your conference tournament to playin in the regional unless you host?

Ralph Turner · February 13, 2009, 06:34:01 PM

McM 4 Whittier 3

Smith for McM goes 7.1 innings and gives up 3 earned runs

Armijo for Whittier goes 7 gives up 4 runs, 3 earned runs.

That is pretty good for this time of the year.

Yes, the ASC gives its Pool A bid to the conference tourney champ.

TLU drops one to Cal State East Bay 9-1 yesterday. TLU made a jaw dropping 6 errors...Logan Hull took the loss for the bulldogs.

Any game reports Dawgsdad?
