BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[KSCfan]

On the LEC getting three bids....

i dont see that happening this year unfourtanetly.  i agree that if KSC wins the conferance they will only get one.  unless that is, southern maine gets hot but they really needed todays game to help that cause.  Last year you saw two LEC teams get in the NE regional.  As much as it pains me to say i think that the NEWMAC will get two this year with Wheaton and or Babson winning the conferance tourny and the other team getting the at large. 

[KSCfan]

Easy teesy you need to stop blaming the umpires! I recently read where you complained about them before. The Umpires are having better games than the RIC pitching staff.

Glad to see the LEC fans are realizing that  Babson and Wheaton are better than the  LEC teams.

Keene beat Babson and will beat Wheaton.

[363dp]

Will will see about Keene/Wheaton, this Game could determine an at large bid, because it is very possible that both could lose in there league tourney.

[Old Man]

to 363DP,

It will mean more to wheaton than KSC at that time because the NEWMAC will be done and over........  KSC will have 2 more conference games vs. RIC and then the battle of the LEC tourney after the wheaton game. 

Hard to have all these tourneys running at different times.  teams after their tournament can pick and choose who they throw against different opponents,  while others still have conference games to worry about.

Just thought i would throw that out there.

USM also has Babson left on the schedule, if Wheaton wins the the Newac (or whatever it is) this will be a big game...

[santeezy06]

363dp first and foremost I way in on things I see so there won't be any easy teesy. The umpires down right sucked in this game by the fan and coaching remarks from both teams. And further more RIC has done quite well thus far this season and I anticipate them to come out even hotter after getting blown awa this weekend, I say coach Grenier at RIC got out coached by TEE but I don't agree that RIC'S pitching is all that shaky. I mean what team do you call your own again. RIC gave Wheaton a pretty good game losing by 2 and Ianticipate another one coming soon against those guys.

Watch out LEC- EConn is on a roll. Winners of 10 out of the last 11 with wins vs. top teams in NE like Roger Williams (21-6), Suffolk (23-8), Babson (25-8), RIC (21-9) twice, and Southern Maine (19-9). USM was the only loss.  This week will be tough with Trinity and Wesleyan back to back at home. But the offense seems to be clicking. Defense has improved. Pitching has been relatively steady and young pitchers are getting their feet wet. I was at the RIC game on Saturday. Umpires are always going to be questioned - but calls, as they say, even out in the end. EConn fans were ok until mid-way through the second game. Nice touch by the "Not so TEE" by recognizing the '98 National Championship team in between games.

I wouldnt sat that there is any real front runner for any of the awards right now theres still 2 big weekends of baseball to be played.

So I am going to hold off on predictions

ecfaninri,

Do you or anyone know what's up with Joe Esposito?  Has not started since I recall Keene DH.  Had a shaky relief apperance this Saturday against RIC in 6th inning, (wild pich, walks, couple of base hits).  I was glad they called game after 7 as espo had me nervous.  TEE needs Espo to pitch ( start) effectively  down the home stretch, especially since All American pitcher S Gilblair is still dealing with his knee and hamstring injuries.

[ecfaninri]

Esposito will probably pitch tomorrow against Trinity. Saturday he warmed up in the 1st game but didn't pitch. Jagodzinski pitched well but it was a tight game with the wind blowing out. You're right EConn will need Espo down the stretch. What's the old saying? "You can't have enough starting pitching". With Gilblair doing his thing - clubbing the ball - the pitching staff has been able to give him time to heal. The staff led by Jags and Espo, and Kukucka, Fontaine, will be able to carry the Warriors deep into games while the bats continue their assault on various pitching staffs, posting 16, 10, & 19 runs against Babson, Suffolk, and RIC respectively.
Reserve players and newcomers have really blended well in the line-up. Injuries have not really slowed up the "Notso TEE".
On another note - the announcer for the web cast has done a good job with the games. Some people just don't know how difficult it is to call a game. The important thing is - the announcer helps fans of EConn stay in touch during the week with the call.  Nice job EConn and Mr. "I".

lecfaninri,

you are right, i should be thankful to have someone who ar streaming the games.

USM announcer is Great though.

[Pat Coleman]

haha you think you know who this is?  nice try, all i can say is that umb showed that they are terrible compared to good teams in the lec.  ya they can make it to the playoffs, but who cant?  you know who cant, so before you start calling out people on teams in the lec, get a clue, keep ur comments to yourself, no matter what you say your team still can't compete and you know it

Gotta love people who don't read the instructions and don't realize their e-mail address is only on every post ...

Correction, and a big thanks to KH-16 for pointing out the correct schedule.

Keene State vs Fitchburg should be online Thursday afternoon. It may even be webcast. Here be the link.

I talked to Word today and he suggests this could be a trapgame for KSC. 4 Conference games over the weekend, Western New England and Sullen Maine in the same week. 11 straight wins. Trap-City Beware
