BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[ECSUalum]

D and B,

What worries me is that they are losing to teams that they really should have dominated, (WCSU and UMD).

D you said it,  They better wake up soon or they will be looking from the outside in @ Mansfield in Mid May

I wonder if Coach H should have pulled Matt for Dutton when he visited the mound.  Matt did a great job, but it looked like he may have lost a bit of velocity.

Oh well, we still have a good chance to catch on fire, and as you say the LEC Tourney title is looking more and more important.

Good luck to Shawn and the Moose on Monday.  Not sure if I can make the game.

Word

I was born and raised in New Bedford, one block away from Ma's Donuts.  My kids fed the ducks across the street when they were small.  Small world.

While working for Acushnet Co. we lived on Acushnet Ave near Sassaquin Pond. So you'd be a graduate of SMU?

Too bad about the sweep today...USM is tough at home.


363dp,

Sorry I missed you, I was in Norton yesterday...Lyons looked good. I have not seen USM or Trinity in person this year but Wheaties are solid. I posted a note re: the Wheaties on the TCCC board last night. I'll say this, from what I saw if they are ahead going into the late innings...they have the bullpen horses to shutdown most anyone. xcept maybe the Muskies.

Things went well for the Owls yesterday- for 7 1/2 innings.  7-5 lead at that time, and a wonderful performance by starting pitcher Jeff Raymond.  The bullpen didn't get it done and things went very south for the rest of the day.  Colin Henry pitched very well in the second game and looked like his old self.  Therrian was only so-so in the first game.  It was very cold, but not a drop of rain (or snow).

I, for one, think that USM is for real.  I am not sure, though, if they have the pitching depth to go very far in the post season.  If they get decent pitching, they can play with anyone.  Jeff Mackey had a great day in the field at third base, making several outstanding plays.  D'alphonso was on fire- Lined one into the scoreboard, and smacked one over it.

You could be right about USM pitching depth.  One thing to their advantage is that the pitchers don't have to worry if the give up a few runs because they know they are going to score a bunch most of the time.  Think that gives a pitcher a different mind set when he takes the mound?

That's Josh Mackey!!!

Yes,  just throw strikes....Herny got hit a little yesterday but he threw strikes and that's all a pitcher has to do with that offense behind him...

And getting thrown at!!!! 

[dchevy5]

I don't know if he was thrown at or not.    What I would like to know, is just exactly what would Coach Flaherty have to do to an umpire to actually get ejected from a game?  Yesterday's umpires covered themselves with shame for the abuse they took from him without ejecting him, in my opinion. 

Sorry about the name error on Josh Mackey.  He did have a great day defensively.

Oh come on now, everybody in the whole place knew he was thrown at...Burleson just hit a Home Run: DA already has two on the day comes to bat and the first pitch is behind him???  Pretty obvious...

Whelp my keene will sweep cause im a homer theory crashed and burned.  I listened to most of the second game but missed the first one.  Two tough losses for Keene, espically in the first game where they were winning according to the ksc website going into i believe what is the 7th.  Good to see Raymond throw the ball well for Keene.  I hope that he can keep that up for the owls as it seems to be shaking out that Vogt, and Raymond are emerging to be more consistant which is good for the owls.  Bullpen hurt keene on sat, Kochiss, Salo and Wogksch combined for 1 inn and 5 earned runs.  Second game the owls struggled getting the bats going as Henry shut them down.  I was surprised to see Henry shut the owls down like he did

Shaping up for may in Gorham unless you see a wicked crash and burn of the Huskies which i dont think will happen
