BB: LEC: Little East Conference

[hockeyfan77]

I still want to be on record in saying that the umpiring in the LEC is an embarrassment to Collegiate baseball. Floating strike zones and bad calls add an element to the games that has nothing to do with skill in playing or coaching, and the LEC AD's should go to confession and do pennance for hiring this bunch of umpires

Agreed...

Dear KSCer,

With all due respect. Everytime KSC loses you post an umpire flame. What gives?

[RedDevils36]

If umpiring is bad, it's usually bad for both sides.  Unless you are claiming the umps are not impartial?  Perhaps the umpires got together and decided to gang up on KSC?

Deal with bad umping and play ball.

Final, ECSU 16 USM 5...

Are they using Fungo bats out there.  Over 7 games the winners have scored a combined 82 runs

[Stump]

To go with the umpire rant I have to say I'm new to D3 and that  the biggest surprise and disappointment that I have seen this year has been the quality of the umpiring. Floating strike zones especially at the top of the zone and often umpires out of position to make proper calls.  I think high school umpiring last year was more consistent than what I have seen this year. Thanks for the chance to get that off my chest and I'm done complaining about the umps.

[Paul Heering]

any predictions out there for first team all conference?

32 home runs and 145 runs in 8 games. Does the wind blow out at Eastern? must be some shellshocked pitchers and pitching coaches.

and down goes the most overrated team in new england

jcon is crying himself to sleep and keene is delaying the inevitable- however getting to the finals might allow them to be the at large bid

there only one from new england this year?  with the nac getting an AQ that would take out the one sjc got last year.  (i dunno whether i am right or wrong but ill go along with it)

with trinity losing in their tourny- does that make it a race between keene and trinity? any other snubs?

With all due respect dear word, I have talked about bad umpiring when KSC has won. The point is the AD's in the LEC made a deal with an umpiring group that was very weak, against the unaminous recommendation of the coaches. And the point is yeah you deal with it, but you should not have to and bad umpiring should not be part of the game. And as Stump points out they don"t even know where they're supposed to be and what calls they're supposed to make, and when I pay two dollars to see a game(senior discount) I expect quality, and lastly my comments are not flames for they are true.

Unless KSC pulls a USA Hockey miracle I think the ECAC will be visiting Keene again this year.

The at-large bids are handed out nationally, so the number of automatic bids in the region is not really relevant to the discussion.
