Where is Smolinski for Stout? If i am not mistaken he would be a senior this year. Just wondering if you guys know whats up. big part of stouts offense last year. Glad to see Stine back for whitewater though. He is a much needed in that lineup.

Platteville's roster is online. Very impressive, albeit small freshman class highlighted by INF/P Tyler Jacobson.

C Brenden Watson and OF Shawn Tobie are notable no-shows. I counted five transfers.

Not sure if you counted Wiley as a transfer since he is a sophomore, but although he wasn't on their roster last season, he has been at Platteville his entire college career.

I didn't count him. There was at least one other soph who appears to have been at UWP last year, too.

Point's roster is online. Not too many surprises, but I thought Luke Cismoski would make the cut. Wonder if Bloom will get Sean Gerber's bat in there somewhere. As if the Pointers will need more offense this year ... but it looks like another nice crop of frosh.

Garrett Bloom and Jeff Zielke are now assistant coaches. Jeff Pieper leaves Rockford and goes back to Point as its pitching coach.

Ironically, Jeff Pieper played for me when was in high school at Wausau West. He is a fantastic character guy who quickly put Rockford on the map as the pitching coach. This is a steal for UWSP and Pieper gets to come home in the process.

Notably absent in my mind are Sam Petrasko and Tony Wong

Appear to be a couple of transfers from higher divisions

I thought Vo was possibly gonna cut Petrasko in the first inning of a DH in Oshkosh last year. He pulled him instead, and I don't think he played very often about a week after that.

pieper has been with point for the last three years as the pitching coach!

that made me laugh out loud....almost...only because it would not have been a stretch for him to do it!

I thought Petrasko ended up starting Game #2?  The only reason I believe that was the case was that at the time I thought maybe he was injured and that's why he was pulled.  Instead he ended up being in the line-up for the nightcap.

Another transfer that could have an impact this season would be Lawrence transfer Aaron Leitner from Chilton.  He put up pretty good numbers for a BAD Lawrence team last year, going 5-3 with a 2.78 ERA and a 2-1 K-BB ratio.  (Lawrence only won 12 games as a team last year.)

Petrasko graduated and Wong will be graduating and decided not to play this year.

A big demerit for the Pieper thing. I don't think I ever looked at assistant coaches on rosters all that closely. Bloom and Zielke jumped out and I saw Pieper's name. I thought "I wonder what he's been up to." Clicked his name and it said he's starting his first year at UWSP. Now that you mention it, sure enough. I've seen him in the dugout and on the mound a few times. Combine my apparent ignorance with the internet and what you sometimes get is not pretty.

I was being mostly flippant about Petrasko. I enjoyed watching him play since high school. He did start Game 2, and there's no reason to think he wasn't injured. When one of the fastest guys in the WIAC couldn't beat even me to the wall to pick up a baseball, something is wrong. I think he played regularly for another week or so, then not so much.

yeah, well i can't blame you really.  They haven't really updated anything on that site for years as far as assistants are concerned!  They change the names of the student assistants, but that's about it...
