WOW! If this is true (Which it isn't) then ALL of the experts are wrong.

You didn't say experts??? looks like my eyes are getting the best of me again

Ullcme- talking to you is like talking to a three year old.  Of course I said experts, but what I did not claim is that I was an expert, which you assumed I considered myself one. You have hole after hole in nearly every single one of the "arguments" you have created in the past two days.

[Ullcme41]

Please do share with me where my holes are...All you have done,without any true information to back it, is say no they don't throw that hard! So im confused who is the three year old here? I give you information about a team and your responses are basically nope, naw, and no! Sounds like someone doesn't like to be disagreed with?  Now if you have some useful information u'd like to bring to the discussion, not "argument", please feel free to join, i think we all would love to read your "inside information"!!

[BigPoppa]

Here is my background:
* four year starter on a nationally ranked D3 team
* 3 time all conference player
* 3 time all region player
* four time participant in the NCAA post-season
* three-time participant in the NCAA D3 World Series
* in the past I have been an assistant coach at both the college and junior college level in Southern California as well as a Head coach of a college and high school program in Southern California

Maybe I am coming off a little bit hard on you, and for that I apologize. I do have tons of access to the "inside information" as I am friends with many college coaches around the nation, but I have agreements with them to keep what we speak about "off the record." I try to allude to what I know without divulging more than I feel I can on a message board out of respect for my colleagues and the professional relationships we have established.

In fact, I made a phone call last night to a colleague in the SCIAC and he burst out laughing when I told him how "hard" the Cal Lu guys were supposedly throwing.

First off congrats on your achievments in your D3 career, what school did you attend?
Second I would laugh too if I didn't actually see these numbers light up on the radar gun, and know these players first hand. Who's to say the perform as well as they have this fall. But i sure do like there chances, Im sure the coach who you talk to laughs because he probably thinks I am Slimak haha, very far from him that is for sure! I know it comes as a stretch to the imagination, but trust me on this it is not a hoax sir.

Lol. Your Bold Predictions are funny Ullcme44. The fact that you point out that Cal Lu has a good pitching staff is awesome, but, they do not have any bats what so ever. I once used to think that pitching alone could get it done, however, i was wrong when i found out that all it takes to go against a one dimenion team is a team that has good bats. Don't get me wrong here, Cal Lu is a good program (i picked them as my surprise team this year... see previous post) However, they will not get it done with their arms alone. They need bats.

It will come done to The Leo's, Pups and Then hens yet again.

Speaking of, Holly smokes, it's Friday and there's baseball at the Rock. If i can manage to finish my grades on time I may just be able to catch my Tigers opening day game (crossing my fingers that I can get 185 grades into my systems without probs.). Heres to a good season Tigers. Awesome weather will definately help my tigers to their first win of the season against the Golden Eagles of La Sierra. (Low 80's. Clear blue sky's, and that awesome view atop Anderson field (near Stewie Hall) Got to love so.cal and the start of Oxy baseball. 

[BigPoppa]

Low 80's. Clear blue sky's, 

I wish I could punch you through the computer screen... it was a balmy 15 below zero in the Twin Cities this morning. That's only a 95 degree difference between the two places.

I am really missing the SoCal weather right now.

PLAAAAAAYYYYYYY BALLLLLLLL

Good luck to OXY, Whittier and Cal Lutheran today as they all open up their seasons.

Whittier 10- Chapman 8

Cal Lutheran 6- Westmont 5

Whittier 10- Chapman 8

Cal Lutheran 6- Westmont 5

The Whittier win is in-region!

Who started for both teams?

(Whittier comes to McMurry on February 13th!)

[Browneagle64]

JP, you sure its not the other way around on the score there. There is no way the Poets coud of have beaten the #2 team in the Nation. Unless, former Poet QB Josh Shcurlock and a tricky/ short alumni named Richard Nixon both threw a gem of a game against the SCIAC co-champs.  

Just for FYI, i had the opportunity to stop by the Rock (Anderson field) and quickly watch the Tigers v.s Golden Eagles game this afternoon and enjoyed how the score board would soon favor my Tigers. Upon arriving at the Top of the 3rd, both schools where sitting with one score a piece. However, it wasn't until the middle of the 3rd that the tiger bats and bunting started to work. (especially with Richard Veihl's grand slam starting it off). By the end of the 3rd, the Tigers were up 10 to 1 while the Eagles were in desperate need of pitching. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stick around for the rest of the game and wish I could have since the afternoon was so similar to the spring afternoons back when I attended Oxy bball games after bio labs or Bio Classes.

Hard to tell much about that game.  Kitchens was doing okay until the 6th.

Armijo got hit for Whittier.
