BB: General New England Discussion

They have stupidly scheduled the make up of West Conn for tuesday the 24th. It's their game to reschedule and they do it on tuesday after four league games on the weekend. Death wish, or maybe they dont want to win out.

Yea, I mentioned this a while back in a posting, 8 games in 8 days is tough. I guess I'd question that they could win out even if the schedule were in their favor with 4 games against the Evil Empire and Mini-Maine.

They can and they should.

KSCer- so you are predicting that Keene State will sweep EConn and USM? WOW heady stuff, don't get me wrong I'd love to see it, but .... hey wouldn't it be ironic if Keene State got to host the LEC Tourney at the SWAMP after playing so few home games?

That would not be irony, but divine intervention, or kharma. Just a possibility, but KSC did sweep ESCU at Eastern last year, and I think they are planning on winning.

Good luck to KSC on thier up coming schedule vs Evil CT ST U and Southern  Maine.  All I can say is that they better have thier pitching ready, because they will need it.   

Anyway, Keene needs to at least split with Eastern to share LEC. Assuming they sweep SM, which is not a certainty

Having said all this, its all about the LEC Tourny anyway to see who goes to NCAA Regional.  Thats where you  see who can play under the pressure which separate the men from the boys.

This weeks game with Trinity will be a fun one to watch in Htfd

For what it is worth EConnAlum here's  hoping the Evil Empire beats Trinity.

Trinity has a great program!!  However, it will only help with there DIII national ranking, but thats about it.

They need to really focus on thier LEC conference games and specifically Kenne State.  Then the LEC Tourny.

Thing I worry about with ECSU is thier defense.  Too many errors.  If they want to be a national champion they need to play 0.97-0.98 fld %.  I know thats demanding, more like D-I but to get past Chapman, George Fox etc, this is where they need to be.  If you look at years they were National Champs,  I think defence and pitching is what actually got them there

Good defense is important, but fielding .970 or .980 is a pretty high standard. By the end of the season it would be very nice to be fielding at that level, but to do that for a whole season is very very hard.

There will be a showdown in the wetlands at Keene on May 5th.

[dgilblair]

Should be fun.....but this weekend first.

KSC has to sweep ESCU to host the tourney. They can split with USM but they need to sweep ESCU, and they have done that before. If Stromgren matches against Gilbair, it could be one you remember forever.

Spence, your right, but eliminate the unearned runs generated by the difference in a, say .940 and .970 fld % and you have a shot at winning a lot more ball games and at the same time, taken a lot of pressure off the pitching staff.
