BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[Jcon8958]

Santeezy may I ask what the personal reason are that you want tro see that game? Is it because if they win you want to make me eat my words. I think you have learned by now even if they do lose im going to find some kind of postive to come out of the games.

Listen everybody I AM MORE THEN AWARE the UMB is struggling this year with a very young young basbeall team but im telling you right now I am going to saty behind this team all season long they are going to come around as a matter a fact i think that they will take one from RIC this weekend. Call me stupied but the pitching is going to show up one day and I believe that day is coming Saturday vs an UNPROVEN RIC SQUAD.

JCONN,

When I said personal I was talking about being part of the RIC baseball fan hood, I hold nothing personal. I wish your team goodluck on the weekend, may the best team win. Also I wouldn't say that RIC is unproven they are 10-3 and had (2) great games this season thus far versus ranked teams they lost to Cortland State 5-4 and Wheaton they were winning the game through 7 ultimately losing, but they did contend. In both games they actually were leading til late in the game. Like I said before they will contend their not a dominate team.

ECSU wins a bacck and forth affair against Calvin today 17 to 15.  Castillo had 2 hrs, 2 doubles, 2 intentional walks, monster day.  Defense was just plain bad and its to bad because we had a lot of young kids pitching early in the game and they could have used a little help for the D.  After being down 5 zip in the first inning it was a nice come back.

Hockeyfan, Burleson hit the game winning HR in the top of the ninth.  

DChevy, it must be fun watching that Callahan kid hit.

LEC fans...
It was nice being at Snedigar today between fields 1 and 2 under the big tree watching both USM and Eastern win games after being down 4-0 and 5-0 respectively. I agree with you dGilblair, the young pitchers could used some better defense throughout the day. Calvin did smash the ball around as well. There were just so many twists and turns in this game it was hard to point out and key plays. However, encouraging news was that Tingley came in relief after pitching Saturday and threw the ball well.
Tommorow vs Chicago at 11 AM PT.. Like I said about today, I don't know who will start but who ever it is goes into the game knowing that the offense just doesn't let up.

I guess the motto for the year has to be ....never enough.  Today 17-15. I was glad Gilblair kicked that 36 yd. field goal to win it.

D and B

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting both of you in Phoenix, watching your sons in particular and the WARRIORS GREAT START IN GENERAL!!!

Seems to be a real nice ECSU family, besides yourselves, Jan Holowaty was especially kind in welcoming my wife and daughter at the games.  Hope to see a bunch of games in Mansfield as we move forward in cluding this weeks DH vs the Huskies.

Spoke briefly to Cocah H and he thanks us for coming out to supporting the team   Real class act!

I will not go into waht I saw re the Warriors, but THEY LOOKED AWESOME

The LEC conference this year should be fantastic to watch with Keene, USM, RIC and even possibly UMD, (for JCONN ) giving us a run for our money.

Nice to see ECSU #1, but as we all know what counts for all of us is:

1, Winning the regular season
2, Winning the LEC Tourney
3, Winning the NCAA NE Regional
and finally the Walnut and Bronze and having some fun in the process.

I we can do this we will deserve to be #1

By the way I saw in Mondays USA Today that the Orioles released Scott Chiasson.  He must not have wanted to go back to AAA.  What I saw of his limited stats, he picthed well in Spring Training

Safe trip back to the New England, ( God's Country) for all the LEC Teams and families.
It was a fantastic 7 days for us out there.

Came back to 33F weather, wind chill in the teens Monday night, but looks to warm up by weeks end

Hockeyfan, Burleson hit the game winning HR in the top of the ninth.  

He is having quite  a start but even though USM is 8-1 the pitching is scaring the crap out of me...They need Schmidt, Henry or even Jillison to step up and be a solid #2: Therrian has been pretty good...


Hey it was 19 up here in Maine yesterday and it dosen't look like the field is going to be ready to start the season...Should be ready for the 2nd week...I heard yesterday that USM/Plymouth game on April 3  could be played @ Eastern...

HF77, Therrian is very good, have to agree with you there. Has Schmidt pitched since his first outing?  I have not seen his name lately?  If i was a pitcher I would like to pitch for USM, very good chance for a win if you can keep the opp under a touchdown.

Yeah, on Friday March 20 against Springfield  he went  2.2   giving up 5 hits, 3 ERA 1BB and 1K...


I believe he was either going on in Game 2 today or pitching tomorrow against Calvin...

Come on ECSUalum its UMB not UMD.

Sorry Jcon, my bad , but you know what I mean).

Beacons need to get on track for the LEC season

[Jcon8958]

I have alot of faith in this young squad im telling you once the young pitching comes around they are going to be a very dangerous team. They can hit the ball very hard up and down the lineup. (not like Keene or ECSU but only a few teams in the country can hit like them) If they get tghe pitching to come around teams better take notice.

Congrats to ECSU on their #1 ranking.  I don't know what USM did to deserve going from 5 to 23. 

Should be a great double-header this weekend between USM and ECSU.  Is there any live broadcast of the game?  Will have laptop at KSC/UMD games and would like to check in.

Santeeze,

RIC looks tough this year, and will be a major threat to ECSU, Keene, USM this year.

Good luck to the Anchormen and congrats to them on a great start!!!
