BB: LEC: Little East Conference

Great article on Jones and Rousseau. Two very classy young men. They are from great families who I got to know well over the past 3 years. They will be great police officers!!!

JCON- did a little statistical comparison on what would seem to be the two leading candidates for ROY in the LEC- Mark McCormack of UMB and Cody Callahan of KSC. Both are having tremendous years. I haven't seen McCormack yet, but will see him today and Sunday (weather permitting). I have seen Callahan extensively.

McCormack Callahan

Games 26 24

BA .456 .478

OBP .540 .546

SLG% .718 .902

HR 4 8

RBI 24 41

TB 74 83

AB 103 92

BB 17 10

SO 13 13

McCormack is having a phenomenal freshman season, but looking at the comparison, how could Callahan not be ROY.

While I was at it I took a quick look at D'alphonso's numbers and how they compared to Callahan. Overall fairly even. D'Alphonso has 10 more RBI (51-41), 1 less homer (7-8), and an unbelievably low total of 6 strikeouts (amazing). Callahan leads in several categories as well. BA (.478-.459), SLG % (.902-.816). They are very close or even in several categories - OBP (.546-.546), TB Callahan plus 3 (83-80).

There is a lot of baseball left, and the bottum line is team success. I enjoy statistical comparisons. Good luck to all three of the great players that I took the liberty to compare.

Note: all of above stats came from their team websites this morning.

Hockeyfan77, interesting that you are backing off all of your comments......you would have had no way of hearing what was going on on the field in the booth or in the stands, so I appreciate that you are at least coming clean and not making emotional posts. Listen, I would be the first to point a finger at Keene if they were in the wrong. Plain and simple truth is they weren't. If you are such a student of the USM squad, you would know the history of stealing, bunting and sign stealing.......and I am not "new school" (sorry that I didn't like Hayes whacking a player) I am for players/coaches policing the game and that is what Keene did. They sent a message and that message was heard loud and clear.
My sentiment is that if I asked you about Bob Gibson throwing in and hitting guys to set a tone or protect his own guys you would have no problem with it. Not to confuse you......Gibson was a pitcher for the Cardinals in the 60's. Actually, let me try this analogy. Sid the Kid gets hammered into the boards and Eric Godard beats the crap out of the opposing player......Whats the difference? That's hockey is probably your response. Sure we threw at two of your guys (didn't even get hit), it's what we had to do--like Gibson, like Godard--it's what they had to do.

Hockeyfan.....I just have a tough time taking direction from a person who's secondary sport is baseball.
Go BRUINS.......er........I mean Red Sox!

I am slightly confused KoK. Correct me if i am wrong, but you are saying that Keene was policing the game and it was nothing personal, it was just baseball? I think that is what i got out of that. I was not at the game, but any keene usm game is going to be heated. Those teams have a bit of history over the last couple of years from Keene never have being able to beat them, to Keene kicking the snots out of them in the confernece tournament twice last year to win the conference tournament. Those games are always highly competitive and i think its best to leave it and lets move on to a weekend of some exciting games.

Keene has its work cut out for them this weekend, as Eastern, a hot UMB team, and nationally ranked Wheaton are all on tap. Good win for the owls over the owls yesterday and lets hope they can keep the momentum going as we go into the weekend. Chev i agree that you might be right about riley today and then raymond and vogt tommorow, or rather that you will see those three this weekend for sure

KSFan, just making comments to Hockeyfan 77, he made a couple statements I needed to address. I agree, lets move on.

Jcon8958 · April 17, 2009, 10:47:45 AM

I look foward to the game today and seen this kid Callahan play.

KoK,

Quit picking on Woody.

(By the way, you must watch this video to at least the 1:18 sec mark,I promise you will laugh out loud, give it time, be patient at least until 1:18)

Told you >>>> Woody taught Bobby Knight everything about ref baiting he knew

Attention LEC and in particular USM fans. Put your teeth back in and straighten up and read this.

Attended a Keene High schroooool game today. Heard Brett Barrett is set to attend The University of Sullen Maine. Huskies are getting a kid that will fit right in, about 6'1, 250, great bat, er, er, did I say a great bat. Figure he'll work into left field in the mold of Brandon Brewed, Maximum Arseault, and Arnold SwartenAlfonso, or first base in the mold of Tyler Delorme.

I see UMB scored 10 runs again today, kept their streak going....oh, what's that... they lost?...but they scored 10 runs.

Word, Bubba's a big kid who has hit ten trillion practice balls, but from what I've seen his swing is long and heavy. You're right, typical USM. After the way the last two players from Keene who went there were treated, I am surprised anyone from here goes there to play ball.

wordsmith · April 17, 2009, 08:27:38 PM

KSCer

Grandpa Toupee will be packing his trusty radar gun and making sure Baby Bubba will be treated wiff how should I say kid gloves

Tonight it was lime green keds tennis shoes to match a bright lime green hoody. I kid you not.

Muskie fans ya'll are in fer a treat

So will we C-U at the game tomorrow? I have fond memories of last year's games as we all decended upon the swamp from our various trailer parks. I posted my picture so ya'll will know who Word be.
