BB: General New England Discussion

[dgilblair]

Alum, that Willi brew would have been good this weekend.  We are all doing fine now that it has stoped raining around here what a wet year.  I'll be watching some of the fall games, not as many as past years but I'll snope around some.  Hope to see ya there.

D,

Does the team publish Fall game schedule?  If not lete know if you have it.

see ya'll in Sept

Have not heard of any schedules yet but when I do I'll let you know or B will be posting again by then maybe. 

Shawn helped out at coaches golf tourney today and said it went well.  We went to the KC tryout Tuesday and 300 kids showed up....I kid you not 300.  We didn't stay it was a mess, one scout and an assistant for 300 players.  Better luck next time I guess.

[SCOUT66]

I AM NOT FROM THE AREA BUT I HAVE FOLLOWED THE NEW ENGLAND BLOG AND HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS, BURRLESON FROM THE REDS HAS NO PT? S GILBLAIR HAS NOT FOUND A PLACE TO PLAY? CASTILLO'S AGE WAS A HUGE FACTOR I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT OUT THERE. CF FOR MAINE IS RAW BUT WHAT WE CALL A METAL BAT HITTER.  2 RIGHT HANDED 1B'S FROM RHODE ISLAND AND ECONN SHOW GREAT POTENTIAL FOR SIZE. THERRIAN 33 FROM MAINE  IS RAW AND NEEDS TO GROW INTO HIS BODY. ITS BEEN A PLEASURE 10' IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER

[Old Man]

Burrleson quit after 1 day... like most in the LEC thought he would - Has walked away from last 2 summer teams and has no desire to work for what he could be....  Gilblair is a player and should be playing some where... the guts and the ability and the desire to play at the next LEVEL!!!!  If you are talking about Mackey or D'alfonso.  they could both hit with broomsticks......  Who are the kids from RI?  no idea?  What about Doyon and Patnode from KSC?

I have watched Doyon play for two years now, and he can certainly hit.  There is no debate over bobby swingin it.  His defense has been called into question by some, and to be honest I am not a good enough judge to determine if that would prevent him from getting a shot.  I mean baseball scouts talk about tools, and Bobby can certainly hit, he has speed, his arm is strong enough for a corner outfield, I think/hope that he will get some serious consideration.  Scout 66 has a better idea, Bobby is a big kid so he has some size as well. That being said it is very hard for a positon player at the d3 level.  I hope that more d3 kids find themselves in the minors so i can blow off more work with d3 and milb.com

Hello folks,
Doyon needs to improve his defense and prove he can hit with a wooden bat. He did all right in the league he was in with a .302 BA and a .565 SLG. Considering He's from Keene and away from home, that's pretty good. He needs to move up a level next summer and do the same.
Patnode, last year, was sort of in the shadows, yet had a very good year. His batting mechanics are outstanding. Look for him to emerge from the shadows next year. Patnode Hit .416 for the Kene Blue Jays in the CNEBA

OshDude says the Orioles signed Scott Chiasson (ECSU) and assigned him to Triple-A.
Scott is still working it and making a living.....nice to see....not only an ECSU kid but he comes from Norwich which is just 20 mins from campus.  Lots of good ballplayers from that part of the state.

Maybe the O's will be smart and give Scott a another shot in MLB this spring!!

Lord knows they need some pitching.  (Second to last in MLB Team ERA @ 5.11, with Nationals last @ 5.12)

Great stats with Quintana Roo (Mex. League) this summer as reliever, (I think he was near top Saves leader if not The leader), and pitched well for the O's in limited use last spring.

[mans007]

D"alfonso  can't hit a breaking ball with a metal bat. What makes you think he can hit he can hit anything with wood? + he can't play a defensive positon. That = a beer league hitter.

[Rick Vaughn]

Big news in the NY Region-St. John's Fisher Head Coach Dan Pepicelli was named the pitching coach at Clemson. 

Are there any young coaches in the NE Region primed to make a big move like this?  Any other legends of coaching (Amherst's Thurston) going to be moving on soon?  Halowaty is the first guy that comes to mind...

D'Alfonso was a All-League in the NECBL...he can hit with wood.  It's the lack of a position that hurts him.

[ECSUalum]

Coach Holowaty, (at ECSU),. will be around for awhile as far as I know.  There is nothing in the radar to say he would be moving or retiring.  I am sure 10-20 years ago Coach H could have moved up to D-II or D-I, (ie UCONN for example), but I believe he loves ESCU and Eastern BB.

Will be interesting to see how Jared Holowaty does out at Whitman

Word,

YOUR THE MAN!!!

Happy Holidays to you and yours, as well as to all on the D3 sports threads!!

New season just around the corner

[wordsmith]

All,

Good to see 5 New England teams got votes in the Pre-season D-III Poll.

Pretty much the usual cast of characters; I am surprised by the ranking of St. Joe's @ 26.
Congrats to Coach Will (James Brown) Sanborn - the Hardest Working Man in D-III baseball.

I will say it again and I want all you Grrrllly Men to hear me now & believe me later.

This is the year Keene State College goes to the WS.

Peace ya'll and in the words of Randy Moss  "These shoulders that I have on my body, you could put the earth on it." "Just to let you know, I bounce back."

Moss must have been speaking figuratively. I know children with bigger shoulders than him. Go Pack go (yes, Moss still tilts me from his MN days).

Yep, by the way OshDude, way to D-Up that last minute desparation pass play by Toothless-Berg and the Steagles yesterday. At least Favre crashed and burned yesterday and it wasn't a total loss for TitleTown.

Go Fuzzy Thurston, Jerry (I jumped the snap) Kramer, Paul (Me and Alex will take the points for a G apiece) Horning, and Forrest (Eyes still twitching?) Gregg.
