Tyler vs UMHB tonight....should be an interesting matchup!

dp643

UMHB beats UT Tyler tonight. If memory serves me correctly it is the CRU's first win vs Tyler since Tyler has come to the ASC (0-6 previously?)

Cameron Arnett picks up the win and Seth Lynn gets the save. Josh Frederick hits a 2 run homer and Doak Fleming adds 3 RBIs for the CRU.

UMHB moves to 2-0 and Tyler drops to 0-1.

Cody Jones had a huge game for Tyler. Wasnt he at ETBU last year?

Congrats UMHB, I'm sure they are psyched about that...

Sounds like Mississippi might be pretty tough. Brooks, how close are you to the Choctaws? Were you around in the fall or is this word of mouth?

Dbat, careful with your David comparisons. Not to take anything away from Nokelby (this is going off of TLU's website article detailing Nokelby's ESPN selection), but it is hard to compare a guy with 7 career home runs and 111 career RBI's to David, who hit 26 hr's and knocked in 73 rbi's in 2008 alone. David's lowest home run total in his three seasons was 7, Nokelby's career total.

I'd love to know how the Preseason guys are picked. Arrieta is the real deal. I have not seen Bo Bell play, but borrowing him, he has got to be in a league by himself. Not to be misunderstood, there are many talented players, I saw one heck of one for two years at McMurry in Jake Mullin, but Arrieta can really play. One man show in Alpine.

Ya Nokelby is a great player...but hes not a Derek David by any stretch. You guys had a freaking scary middle of the lineup that year.

Bo Bell is the real deal from the 2 games I saw last year. If MC gets the quality of pitching Chris is talking about they will be a big force.

I am curious to see what Tyler is going to have in their rotation. Sparks got roughed up tonight but had a solid year last year as their number 4 guy.

I'm the SID at MC and obviously around the baseball staff and players. I was raised playing baseball, had an opportunity to play some in college, but just enjoy being around the game. You have to be careful with this preseason stuff, because baseball is just a funny sport. You never know how things will shake out.

But everyone is excited around the program, I just hope it works out for them after being so close last year. Tyler Seaman has looked good on the mound, and has been consistent 89-92 on the JUGS. Brandon Martin is a Christmas transfer from Delta State that has looked very good. Big guy, around 6-4, 220, coming off an injury. But he's been consistent 87-88 and he's not 100% yet, he has potential to be very good. I know the new closer has looked very good in practice, and there are 4-5 other arms they feel good about. Much deeper than a year ago.

They have had one setback though. Shane Bennett will start the season strictly at 3rd base after pretty much being penciled in as a weekend starter. He was very good on the mound in the Fall, consistent 88-90 with quality pitches. But he had a tired arm to start this semester, and his bat is too valuable to push him. He will protect Bo Bell in the lineup, and hopefully will get back on the mound later as his arm continues to improve. He was a huge pickup who hopefully will have a great year.

Looking forward to getting the season started, for everybody. Should be a great season in the ASC.

Not a lot of talk has come out of the Concordia faithful this year.  What's the news on them?  And back to the Nokelby comment.  I was just saying that the word around was he was going to be like the next David.  Last year was supposed to be a big power year for him.  Thats what I meant by that and yes he didn't do anything like that.  It looks more like he is a good hitter with the occasional power to get it out of the park.

UT Tyler wins 9-5 over UT Dallas. Next up...UMHB vs UT Dallas

dp643

UT Dallas comes back scoring 2 in the 8th and one in the 9th to win 8-7. Tough loss for the Cru....UT Tyler vs  UMHB to finish out the tournament. I expect to see Hopper vs Fowler in this one.

Its not fowler....its Vardeman pitching for Tyler.

Hey ya'll, glad to see the chatter winding up! I'm missing the excitement already... Will try and catch some games this spring.  Keep up the good work and go Bulldogs!! They seem to be off to a good start...

UMHB beats UT Tyler 12-7 in the last game of the tournament. UMHB goes 2-1, UT Dallas 1-1, and UT Tyler 1-2.

The Cru got 8 runs in an inning to take a big lead and never looked back. Hopper gets the win for the Cru.

McMurry lost to (D-2) WTAMU, 7-4.

Six errors leading to 4 unearned runs really hurt.  Stranding batters in the late innings (5 in the last 3 innings) is frustrating.

WTAMU committed 4 errors that led to 3 unearned runs, too.

McMurry is young, and I see some talent.  I am glad that they are playing D-2 and NAIA schools early to give this young team some experience.

IMHO, the pitching by Dakota Smith and Michael DiBiasi was good for a first outing.

Temperature in Abilene was 37 degrees.  :o

Two good wins this weekend for Mississippi College beating Huntingdon yesterday 5-2 and Birmingham Southern 5-4 today. Huntingdon returns most of a 26-15 team from last year, and Birmingham Southern was picked to win the SCAC East after a 28-11 year last year.

Tyler Seaman had a good outing against Huntingdon yesterday, and newcomer Brandon Martin threw four shutout innings today against Birmingham Southern.

If anyone is alive out there....UMHB is hosting Trinity for its home opener today....
