Point is not finishing 2nd u heard it here first

That's bold. It will take a great year for them to take 1st and jump UWW. I like your confidence though.

The meaning of ShineTime's comment more than likely indicates a lack of confidence rather than an over abundance of it. 

Lake Bachar, the WARHAWKS football team's punter, is also playing baseball this year.  Bachar is a pitcher who has reportedly been clocked in the low 90's.  While this will be his first year playing collegiate baseball it's my understanding that he has been playing summer baseball in Illinois.  I'm anxious to see if he can find a spot in the rotation.  With him and Austin Jones I would think that we'd have two of the harder throwers in the league. 

[ShineTime]

You are correct it's never good when you speak directly to a key player and they say we're going to need to score 10 or more a game to win.  I am highly concerned about pitching and the catcher position.  The staff last year made up for the unit behind the plate.  Obviously I feel points position players are outstanding everywhere else but in the end I don't see how point finishes top 2.  They finished 3rd last year with arguably their best pitching staff ever and same offense and return essentially nothing for pitching except prebelski and he was a closer not a starter.  Hopefully I'm wrong and point miraculously has dominant pitching.

So word is lechnir was offered a nice settlement from Oshkosh and turned down.  Anyone hear how much he was offered I heard he's going for it all and hope he succeeds.

He doesn't know any other way!!!!

If I know the rules correctly, He will need to sit out a year.

No sitting out a year for Pavlovich, as he is a graduate student at UW Milwaukee, which means he gets to play immediately.

With that said, Pavlovich was unable to get out of the fourth inning in his debut with the Panthers.  Despite striking out six in 3.2 IP, he also walked five and gave up three hits in an 11-7 UWM victory over Maine.  It will be interesting to see how his season goes for UWM!!!

What did they offer Tom?  A lifetime all sports pass to all Titan games? 

One idea would be to give him the land rights to the baseball field for the next 20 years so he could lease it back to UW-O.  Then he could lease it out to other teams as well all summer.  It would recognize his efforts to build it and also acknowledge the errors made by the UW-O leadership in attacking him over the field cost.

That's part of the problem!!!!

The entire Alumni Stadium project has been paid in full for nearly two years now....  It didn't matter about the cost!!!

When you have the lead construction manager from JJ Keller and the loan officer from the bank saying there is a "zero balance" yet the University says there is still an unpaid balance, it's easy to see the issue!!!

I think Lechnir is due for a big settlement form the school in court.

It will be interesting to see if Wautoma native Johnny Eagan is listed on the UWO baseball roster when it gets posted.  He earned a D1 Baseball scholarship to Northern Illinois out of high school, but then transferred to UWO this season where he played football in the fall.  The number of multi-sport athletes at UWO have been few and far between when it comes to baseball, but he definitely would be one that would help a lineup looking to replace some offensive firepower. 

If he is indeed playing, I'm guessing the coaching staff might be trying to convince him to get his younger brother at UWO as well.  (FAT CHANCE!!!!)  Jack is a 6'4 LHP who has been clocked in the low 90's who has already committed to Indiana before starting his junior year of high school.  There have been reports that he might be the type of kid that will have to decide between signing when he gets drafted or choosing to go to college.

Eagan is a phenomenal baseball player saw him play a handful of times and he has a ton of speed.  Great athlete in general.

Is point posting their roster after the season begins this year?

It's posted now, so have fun overreacting like normal.

Thanks I went over this morning and like I said hopefully a top 3 offense in the nation can overcome a lack of proven pitching.  Looks like the kid from lacrosse central has potential but he did have tommy John surgery in 2013.
