BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[KSCfan]

As someone who has seen Phil Maybe pitch a lot in his time at Keene State i hope he does well down in Arizona.  When his stuff is on, its darn near unhittable.  The way that he slings the ball to the plate it gets lots of movement on it, and he is a really big kid, with a big back side that allows him to get some pop on his ball.  Good story about Phil Word.

Thanks for posting the Eastern roster, it will allow for me to start making my vodoo dolls earlier up here in Hampshire so that way when the Evil Empire rolls into the swamp you can see me standing behind home plate sticking needles into them.  Think Indy Jones Temple of Doom style. Seriously though the Eastern roster looks very good this year. 

Had a chance to listen to Dennis McManus? (could be wrong spelling) yesterday from Plymouth State.  Really nice guy and seemed to know his baseball.  Plymouth always seems to struggle in the LEC but i wish them the best this year. (except when they play Keene that is)

KSCFan,

Just dont stick the pins in the wrong places on those dolls

According to the ECSU roster Jags is on it, maybe we shouldnt post things until we are sure.

According to the ECSU roster Jags is on it, maybe we shouldnt post things until we are sure.

It would be nice but he is not on campus and he is not attending practices.  The SID must not have heard yet. 

[KSCfan]

This Jags watch is like a Brett Farve saga. Hes here, hes not, hes here, hes not.  I mean i saw him name on the roster and i was like hmmmmmm, and now Gilblair says hes not here.  I feel like this spring on ESPN, the lead story is going to be Brett Farve retiring and coming out of it, followed by Jags is here or not. 

Now he has one year left if he wants to play, did he graduate from classes like he has his degree and he doesnt want to come back?  Is that the case? I dont know, Im sure one of the Eastern faithfull can fill me in.

[ecfaninri]

I think that DGilblair is right about Jags not being there. I think its simply due to the fact that Sports Information Department has changed their web site design and that there may be some information that is still in the process of being updated. They are currently involved with the winter sports and are doing a fine job with them. We - baseball fanatics - want instant info. I am sure by the time February 28th rolls around ( their 1st game ) most of it will be updated. For what I am told - Jags is not on campus and is not practicing with the team. Does Favre have any baseball eligibility left?

[KSCfan]

If farve did play baseball he would probably screw over your team just like he did to the Patriots with that wonderful hurry to the line interception to the dolphins that kept the 11-5 Pats out of the playoffs

It seems to me that everyone is ready to crown ECU or the USM mudpuppies--do not sleep on Keene--by far best coaching staff in conference--they love their kids and would do anything for them.
ECU and USM have been overrated for years..........the glory if fading and fading fast

[ecfaninri]

Wow....
I'm so glad that the over rated teams do what others wish to do. Produce winning teams, go to regionals and world series and have coaches that don't love their players.

Its nice to have some new people on the site, especially when someone from Keene can speak from experience on the ECSU and USM programs.

[KSCfan]

KeenOnKeene- i love the energy for the owls, becuase i love the owls as much as anyone that being said, saying Eastern and USM have been overrated for a long time is a pretty big leap.  I do love Keene, i do love the coaching staff, and i think they have done wonders to turn that program into what it is now, that being said i dont know if i would go so far as saying that USM and ECSU are overrated.  I would like to think that all three teams are pretty much on a level playing field in the last three years.  No one can argue before that the LEC was a two team league, but now it is def a three team league.

[EasternCtFan]

Agree ecfaninri but what do you mean by coaches dont love their players? KeeneonKeene, if you made an account on here just to knock other programs and build your own we don't want to hear it all season, KSCfan doesn't have your back here. This is a three team league now but i think ECSU and USM are still a touch better than keene st. I need to see it from them for a few more years and a world series birth.

KonK,

Welcome to the Board KonK. Not sure how you come to the conclusion TEE is overrated. They be da real deal, that's why we hate on dem so much and call dem bums The Evil Empire...for your edification.

Sullen Maine, now that is another story, whilst I wouldn't label the Team of Flanel overrated, I would say they do get some 'consideration' as we say in the legal world. But they, like EF Hutton, (who the hell is EF Hutton Word?) they earned it.

Not sure the words love and college baseball coaches and players all belong in the same sentence. HOFEddy and HolyWater are both old school guys. Never dealt personnally with HolyWater, but having dealt with Flaherty, I can say he cares a lot about his players, and is a very decent man. Ever watch the TV show NCIS?? Ed Flaherty is Leroy Jethro Gibbs. I like him a lot, and even root for him except when he is going against WNEC or KSC.


KonK.....Eye look forward to more of your insight.

Every coach runs his program different from the next guy.  Thats what makes a program a program.  If there was one true method that worked for everyone than you would see it.  I recently was fortunate enough to coach for the first time and i loved it.  This was only at a mid size NH high school but still i can understand why when you can no longer play you coach.  As a coach i developed a sense of pride about my players.  I had a team that wasnt the most talented but they gave it there all and we won a few games.  OVer the course of the season i developed a sense of great pride and care for my players but i wouldnt call it love.  I get on here and write bout loving players then i am going to jail. But as a coach you do care about your players. I think you cant be a good coach in a good program and not care about your guys.  Herb Brookes had a great line in Miracle that "im your coach, not your friend, you want a friend go talk to someone else".  That being said overtime as a coach you care about your team

[keenONkeene]

ECU and Southern Maine are like puppy factories..........keep wheeling in the talent and see who sticks......if not enjoy Ply State. Old school method, while were at it lets pat Woody Hayes on the back, I guess we condone his actions too?

[mans007]

keenONkeene- not sure you are going to get much of an agreement here even from those people who don't like USM or ECSU. To hear old school, and immediatley imply that Holowaty and Flarghety (sp) coach like Hayes make u sound nieve.  Root for your team, but when you start implying things about two repected people you know nothing about people will stop listening to you.  My guess is one of two things: you either played at keene state, lost some tough battles with those two teams, or you still play there. I hope its one of the two because if your a grown adult, i'm worried for you.
