BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Gray Fox]

Fox,

I believe he is on a 2-year Mormon mission

Thanks.
That was my guess when I saw he was from Utah.

Looks like 100% rain for SoCal this weekend. It looks like all games will get rained out. When are the makeup days?

They won't know or decide til Sat night but, weather permitting, the DH at CLU may be played on Sun and the solo game at Hart Park on Mon or Tues. Word is that McGee may get a start. Next weekend against CMS, Laverty will rotate 1 of the starters to the pen (probably Osaki) with Hanks getting a start. The big news from yesterday is that Richards (Fr/RHP) threw a bullpen. Last year, Richards was clocked in the low 90's before he got hurt. 14 months later, he may get some work next weekend. Happy for him. What a difference a year makes as CU may end up in April with a  slew of reliable arms. It almost looks like a 4 man rotation with a 2-headed closer (Watson/Richards?). Still a lot of questions to answer but CU is really starting to come together now.

CLU's scheduled Sunday 3/2 game vs Whitworth shows as cencelled on their website; freeing that up for the possible Sunday DH that Colorado suggested.

Don't know about the rest of the conference but they just put out the word now that Sat's DH at CLU with Chapman was postponed. Earlier in the day, Laverty advised that they would play today's game on Sunday but I just got a text saying the DH will go on Sunday. Either way, I just saw a CBS forecast that says it looks like more rain on Sunday. 

[CrashDavisD3]

There has been so much rain,  fields will be unplayable for a few days. Looking the the schedule it will tough to find a place to play the games that are postponed this weekend. I see some 6 games weeks somewhere in the future.

Cal Lutheran Baseball: Last Updated Feb. 28 – 7:00 p.m. The first game, at Hart Park hosted by Chapman, of a weekend series with the Panthers was postponed. The SCIAC contest will be rescheduled at a later date, which has yet to be determined. A home Saturday double header is pushed back to Sunday, March 2, field conditions permitting, with first pitch slated for 11:00 a.m. at George "Sparky" Anderson Field inside of Ullman Stadium. -

Most cold-weather programs play 6-7 games EVERY week. Should provide a gut-check for those warm-weather programs that may find their pitching thin as that is exactly what the post-season is about.

[dahlby]

So true, especially the way SCIAC schedules are set up with a single game on Friday and a double on Saturday.
Good chance to force coaches to check out their depth, in preparation for playoffs.

[CrashDavisD3]

Well lets see if Chapman has the pitching depth. In prior years they never did. Well this week 6 games over a 6 day timeframe. Same for all SCIAC teams. Could be a wild 6 days of baseball. Upsets are likely

Chapman at least can throw their 1 and 2 on the 3rd and have them available for the CMS double header on the 8th. Give some others the opportunity to show their stuff. I am sure they will focus on CLU and "come what may with CMS". Should be a good opportunity to stretch out the staff. Timing does not look too bad.

PP and Redlands were able to squeeze two in today at Redlands. I don't know what condition the field was in, but that program generally keeps their field in fantastic shape so I'm not surprised they were able to play.

PP was back on form and took both, 11-7 game one and 14-4 in game two. Freshman Lane Miles had another great start in game two, which is very encouraging. Simon Rosenbaum had a monster day at the plate; 8 for 8 with 3 doubles, a home run, and 10 RBIs.

Defense had four total errors, so there's still that issue. 

They'll play the third game of the series tomorrow afternoon at Pomona.

I'm glad they got the games in, but I wish the outcome was different. I think the SoCal skies are supposed to clear up tomorrow.

CLU at Chapman today (3/3) for one game.
Chapman at CLU Tues (3/4) for two games.

Having the DH on Tuesday means Sat games will be on 3 days rest;  It would've been better for both team pitching to play the DH today at CLU.   Pitching depth next weekend will be key.
I expect both CU and CLU to focus on the Game in front of them and let next weekend play out; as CU plays CMS and CLU plays Redlands.

Does it have to be 3 days rest because they don't have the depth at pitcher?
