One person I guess

I'm here, my brotha! I'd expect traffic to pick up this weekend on here as conference play opens up. I think SNC is the cream of the crop again. I see Carroll as a team on the move... Could they challenge Ripon for the second playoff spot in the North Division?

In the South, Grinnell is a bit of a surprise to me right now. A few nice wins over some quality programs. If they can keep that up, they should take the South division crown. I really wish this conference crossed over... hate that they only play in-division games (not sure how that even qualifies them as a baseball conference when they NEVER play half the teams... EVER!)

BigPoppa - I kinda like the in-division setup...I think it makes for good anticipation at the end of the season when it's conference tournament time and teams get to see how they stack up against someone they haven't faced yet.  I'm excited to see the South Division finally change their format to home and away doubleheaders each weekend.  Hopefully this will force them to have a little more pitching depth and maybe pay dividends at the conference tournament.  That pitching depth for the North teams due to that format has been a good advantage.

Cornell has lacked pitching depth the past few seasons. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to check it this year's crop just yet. I think all these 9 inning games will quickly show if their depth is a strength or weakness this year.

Looks like it's just the 3 of us for now fellas.  Maybe some more will join in sometime soon.  Second weekend of conference match-ups...hope the weather decides to play nice for everyone!

Derek Hassell has apparently been released as Carroll coach. Don't know who is stepping in as yet.

Whoa. Sounds like a story there.

Anyone know the story? I am curious to see what happened... Has it been confirmed that he was released and did not walk away?

The word came from one of the Seniors on the team. They don't know much but are scheduled for practice today when they expect to learn more.

The website has the coaches page removed. Let us know what info you get. I am always curious as to what happened when these things go down mid-season.

Didn't something strange and similar to this happen with Carroll's previous coach?  Or am I thinking of something else?

I don't know that I will hear reasons until sometime next week...but frankly after watching him in action a couple of years ago this is not a shock to me.

They have named the football offensive coordinator Peter Jennings the interim coach.

The previous coach, Jason Kosanke, resigned after the season was over. This was Hassel's third season there.

And I do have to admit, I am one who is smiling. The people I feel sorry for are last year's seniors who got cut by Hassel after three years on the team.

No fooling....   ::)  Who do you think I was talking about? 

Haven't posted here in over a year, and then when the guy you "have an axe to grind with" is removed or walks away you are quick to return!!!  Way to show your true colors!!

Didn't have a reason to post here and when I was critical of this very person I was taken to task. Seems I may have been vindicated on that one, but don't know for sure. That said, had I not posted here would you have known this information? Or don't you want to know what is going on with teams?
