BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[KSCfan]

according to the Keene State Baseball site keene tied williams today 13-13 in 11.  Is that accurate??? Hobbes where are you?  You know all, whats the deal?    Im guess that Williams doesnt have lights and thats why for the tie, but why did they start the  game so late if that is the case???  I feel so cheated, there is no tying in baseball

[Hobbesy]

It can happen!  We played to a tie with Amherst two years ago in Amherst.  It just got too dark and the game ended after nine innings. 

Surprised they got to 11 innings before it got to dark at Williams.

It stinks but there is ties....so strange  i know

You KSC fans are a joke. I hate to inform you but the team you were all ranting and raving about is 10-9-1? Which in my eyes is only ONE more win then UMB and they have played more games... Teams go into slumps it happens its part of the game. So get off your high horse saying that KSC so much better then UMB cause there not.

Rhode Island College 16 Salve Regina 5 to improve to 12-5 and 2-0 LEC. I got to say this team can hit and seems pretty well rounded. The sweep of USM was nice but wont put nothing on it to we get deeper in LEC play. On another note I sit hear and laugh on how every year JCon defends his team. There in more than a slump they are struggling and need to step up their game bud...........

OK so you proved your math skills.

Seriously, JCon, I love your passion for UMB baseball, and I enjoy your rants.

Neither KSC nor UMB have lived up to expectations, yet. But we could say that about most of the LEC, hell most of New England for that matter. Season is still young.


Back to reality tomorrow temps in the 40s & 50s here in NH.

LEC fans.......
Why is everyone picking on JCon? His pre-season boastings and predictions are usually met with unrealistic expectations. His passion for his  Beacons is no different than anyone of us with our own teams. He just has a lot of passion.  But we shouldn't forget he has had an accomplice this year.... Bobby Beacon.... WHERE ARE YOU? You gotta help help out your brother.

Eastern seems to be back on track after a hiccup to the Golden Bears on Monday with an impressive win over Montclair S. behind the frosh hurler - Ben Church.  And today they just hammered Springfield 28-4. Tingley pitched 4 innings of no hit ball and then struggled through the fifth. Even though the offense exploded for 29 runs, the bullpen limited the Pride to just 4 hits. Their offense is just brutal. the lineup doesn't stop. They now have 5 players with over 20 rbi's in just 19 games. Scary. This weekend should be fun with Keene on Staturday and a single game against Wconn on Sunday.

[KSCfan]

It would seem that like in years past the Umass Boston bandwagon has broken down and fallen apart, and once again Umass Boston has turned into UMESS BOSTON (see wordsmith 2007)  It would appear that the Beacons are sinking faster than at the rate that Joey Chesnut eats hot dogs on Juky 4th.  Actually it would seem that the Beacons pitching is faltering a little.  On thier current six game skid they are giving up on average 8 runs a game.  The lowest era on the team is over .422, and any one who has started more than one game has an era around 5.  This is bad enough but then you throw in the offensive problems and you have your explanation of a six game losing streak.  McCormak last years spark plug to the offense is down to .303 and has 15 strikeouts in 76 at bats. Its hard to move runners over and drive in runs when you dont put the ball in play.  Really other than Walsh the Beacons offense is not producing enough runs to make up for the lack luster pitching. 


Now this is where Jconn comes at me with something witty like well Keene sucks more than Umass and you said they were going to be amazing.  Well here is the big difference between Keene and UMB right now, offense. Keene pitching seems to be struggling.  They blew  a  3 run lead last night in  the 11 to have the game end  in a tie, and thier starters have struggled as well. Keene starters with over 2 starts average era is .679    The keene offense is scorng a bunch of run sso they can overcome those problems sometimes. It should be  some good games this sat at eastern, i will be there and cant wait to finally see the owls play in person

That's a pretty solid limb to climb out on, if you're going to out on one

[santeezy06]

I just thought I'd throw that out there. So I guess I'll follow up with my whole weekend predictions.

ECon over Keene in a sweep like fashion. Keene just isn't playing good ball yet.
RIC over Ply.    again like I sad earlier in sweep fashion.
WCon over UMB... again a sweep UMB needs to get it together ....
USM vs. UMD.... I'm thinking split here, UMD is playing good ball USM got it in them.....

Econ vs WCon.... Evil Empire takes this one out of spite from first meeting.

santeezy,

RIC looking to be solid this year, which is great for the LEC.  Besides Lavesque, Rossi, Vatter and Thadeio off to a great start, it seems Coach Virgulak has solidified the team as well.


Agreed on above, except WCSU split with UMB and ESCU split with KSC
