BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ecfaninri]

I believe Mel had been warned in an earlier at bat for saying something. The umpire came out front, said something to him, and then wrote in his scorecard, and I doubt if it was the directions to the restaurant for dinner.

Well if it was directions to a restaurant for dinner - Mel would have been asking the right guy. No more be said. I'm sure that Mel will be glad he never has to play at the swamp again.

Maybe Mel can comeback as 'sliding into home coach' for TEE.

Word.....
I know - he worries me sometimes when he doesn't slide. Maybe he is just trying to save the budget from not having to get the uniform pants cleaned as much.

I do really like the kid... he has a passion for the game and lives by the credo "Don't worry ...be happy". I am just glad to have him with us.

Really looking forward to the Eastern Trinity game tomorrow. Will Trinity throw Bayer on 3 days rest? Who will pitch for Eastern? Im sure Eastern will be fired up for this game after what happened last year. Some real good talent on both teams, should be some great baseball.

Hard to predict the Coach's rotation selection, lots of good choices, let's hope the weather clears up and the game goes off as planned.

I agree the plate ump was bad in game two and I don't think it impacted the outcome of the game other than pissing people off and slowing it to a crawl at times.  While I think the no slide earlier in the game help Mel get tossed later with the arguement that followed the out call with the no slide, I'm on track with should have zipped it and gone to third base.  If he can't play against Trinity it hurts the team.

Parke was the starting second baseman that hit the double in the ninth inning of game one.  Raymond pitched a great game,  a Manchester CC transfer just up the road from ECSU.

And Hockeyfan watever happened to Schmidt he hasnt pitched in a while is he hurt?

Little did I realize, but we have discovered some video of Melvin's slide into home during the EastConn vs KSC game. This video is actual raw footage taken from the EastConn sidelines.

My understanding is that schmidt was red shirted with an elbow problem.

[wordsmith]

Red Shirt in D-III? oh thats right HOFEddy plays by different rules.

He can't red shirt, he has already appeared in too many games this year...You have to learn to keep things a little "in house"...         

[hockeyfan77]

And Hockeyfan watever happened to Schmidt he hasnt pitched in a while is he hurt?

I heard that he is probably out for the year but has a CHANCE to pitch in 3 to 5 weeks (which I heard last week)...So if USM advances deep he might have a chance to pitch again this year...

Hey Boys,

I see that everyone from 2-6 are pretty close and the next few games will determine the outcome. Jconn your team was a lil hot but that seems to slowed right down and with TEE and USM your future looks a lil dreery, but congrats on the recent wins.

My predictions for this weekend:

Friday
Keene State   Plymouth State   -   this is a def no brainer, Keene all the way.
UMass Dartmouth   Rhode Island College    - I'll take RIC here they seem to be back in their groove..  I hope but that UMD team is unpredictable.
UMass Boston   Southern Maine - USM will take this one after loosing (2) to Keene I don't see UMB lasting with this powerhouse.     
Eastern Connecticut   Western Connecticut - TEE is getting back to par and should take this one.

Saturday
Western Connecticut   Keene State - I'll take a split here, both teams are contenders for sure. 
Rhode Island College   Southern Maine    - I'm calling split, just hoping here. USM is def a legit team. 
Eastern Connecticut   UMass Boston - Easter will sweep, too much team for UMB.   
UMass Dartmouth   Plymouth State    - UMD will record a def sweep here. Leaving PSU all alone at the bottom.   
         
Sunday
Western Connecticut   UMass Dartmouth - I'll take Wcon here although should be good.     
Plymouth State   UMass Boston - I'm hoping split but gut says UMB sweeps.

Nice to see USM #1 in D-III poll, well deserved!!  Coach Flaherty and the Huskies should be pleased

Perhaps they will gain #1 in ABCA poll as well.

Good luck to all LEC teams in next few weeks, should be a doosie of an end to the season

[ECSUalum]
