Jcon,

I tip my hat to you guys, you def. put up today. We cant leave 15 runners on base and expect to win a game. We again were out coached and will pull up our chairs on the side lines but it has been fun all season getting on you. The true test for your team will come next weekend to see if your legit or a one weekend wonder.

Goodluck to all teams that have moved to the tourney.

RIC doesn't need to scout for talent next season just some good coaching!

PS Is the topless doughnut shop still in business off Exit 8 on the Maine Turdpike? Across the street from HoJos (can't make that up either)

ECSUalum · May 02, 2009, 11:17:13 PM

Word,

Rooting for WNEC to come to The MENS FIELD CT, NCAA party so we can finally meet. 8) (assuming TEE does not get shipped out

Yeah, Could not tell if the score was ECSU BB or ECSU LAX, (who were playing the swampies back across the highway on campus. (Warriors men are LAX LEC Champs by the way

, while the swampy women LAX pull it out in over time vs TEE "EXLAX" women

)

ESCUalum.....
Nice seeing you yesterday and Matt says thanks for the kind words. Speaking of WORDs... it seems like WORD is starting to rub off on you.

Lots of action yesterday in Mansfield. Eastern's bats were uncontrollable. They wore down Armstrong in the first game and just teed off on Zancan right off the bat in the second game. My guess is that they may have been happy to be facing someone else on the bump other than Fontaine. That is until they found out that it was Gilblair then Musson.

After review of this new format - all teams making the tourney and a best of three series at the home of the higher seed - a yawner and 2 extra wins for the two highest seeds. Each series a sweep and now each of the remaining teams can rest there starters until Thursday. But still a team with pitching depth is better suited for this format.

wordsmith · May 03, 2009, 08:40:19 AM

Stayed in d'twn Worst-eer last night. Siiirens were running all night.

I did scope out Bartolo's Bait, Tackle and Voodoo Baseball Speciality Shop in Kelly Square. I found an outdated Pete Varney doll, and a Bill Thurston doll that Easton Alum Bat Company issued a few years back, but no HOFEddy model. Sorry to the TEE guys, ya'll are on your own against The Evil Empire in Waiting.

By the way, I did run into Coach Testosterone in Bartolo's shop, he was in there with KSCFan buying more sandbags.

Little did he know, but I think I saw JCon stalking him, well not sure he was stalking him but JCon was dressed in UMB Camo gear.

Now there is a new marketing idea..... LEC baseball Camo gear..Buy it at the campus store and drive your liberal friggn' professors nutty. (But Word, they are all already nutty). Well in that case send them to the topless doughnut shop in Gommorrah. See ya there

B,

I like that TEE pitching staff ERA of 3.02!!!! Matt, Shawn, and Will the keys arms on the staff.

really liking the bullpen with Tinger, Dutton, and Woj now comming around.

I think with above ERA ECSU may be in top 5 Nationally

ecfaninri · May 03, 2009, 01:26:31 PM

ESCUAlum...
Yes it is pretty scary that their ERA Nattional ranking was 7th, Strokeouts - 3rd and hits allowed 7th going into last week's game. And all they did was allow 1 earned run in 27 innings, and 33 more K's added with about 8 hits in three games. Imagine where they would have been if they didn't have that one blowouts boondoggle vs. WNEC?

Yes it has nice to see Wojick come in and throw strikes yesterday. Schieman and Roveto came in with some poise in the 2nd game blowout to conserve innings for Will Musson.

I wonder what will happen if it does rain on Tuesday and if they will play that game at all. If not it will be fun on Thursday in Gorham.

dgilblair · May 03, 2009, 01:53:29 PM

Don't forget SChult.....He has come a long way working on his game this year. He has a lot of baseball tools.

I heard talk of the LEC going back to the old format next year for the tourney. I guess most coaches don't like it. I think the six team format calls for much more pitching than the four teamer this year. Key as always is to stay out of the losers bracket. Winning the first game next week will be key for all teams.

If they are going back to the old format next year I think they should keep the 3 conference games a week in place and play the tourney a week earlier. That would give the teams a week to recover from the LEC tourney before the regional. They can schedule a game or two for the next week to stay sharp. The way the old format is set up with the regional starting the following mid-week and the the Appleton trip the following mid-week is tough. With the LEC being so tough most years its' like having to win a six team regional, get three days off and having to win a eight team regional and then getting a few more days off
and start the Championship with another 8 teams......oh only the best in the country to boot. Tall order to have to do that in three consecutive weeks I don't care how good you are.

ECSUalum · May 03, 2009, 02:01:28 PM

DGilblair and ecfaninri,

Check your private e-mails, as Lorraine has sent both of you the Photoworks site for ECSU BB team pictures she took yesterday. She will continue to take photos of the boys as we move forward and pass on privately if still interested.

We have been sending picts to Rob Perry's mom, as well.

B, we will get some good ones for you of your son when NCAA regionals rolls around

Hope you enjoy them

D,

Of course, how could I forget Schult

Jcon8958 · May 03, 2009, 04:08:44 PM

This ECSU love fest on this board is making me sick to my stomach.

ECSUalum · May 03, 2009, 04:37:09 PM

Jconn,

The tears are rolling down my face for you and your stomach!!! Spare me

Suggest you get some fellow Chowda Heads signed up on this thread, so you can have your own love fests, however, I figure they are rare, therefore, you'll just have to suck it up and bear it

Also suggest you start to say your prayers for the Beacons, as they will need them next weekend when they play @ University of Southern Maine.

GOOOO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jcon8958 · May 03, 2009, 04:46:56 PM

I wouldnt worry about the Beacons there guy. They are playing very well and with alot of confidence and if my memory serves me correct UMB shutout USM a few weeks ago. I would focus on KSC if I was you. And I dont need any other fellow posters on here because i know more about the game of baseball then all of you eastern fans combined. 8)

You all told me they wouldnt even get by RIC and they swept them and still none of you show any respect watsoever.

THROW ME A DOUBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..........
