BB: LL: Liberty League

[baseballislife]

There was jawing going in both directions at that game (as is pretty much always the case in these situations).  Gotta disagree with you, airball, on where it started.  I was at the 6-5 Fisher win the week before between these two and Fisher does love to run their mouths a bit.  I think it went back to that game.  I thought all that yelling and screaming in an effort to disrupt a pitchers delivery ended in little league?  Pretty obnoxious and seems kind of bush to me.  Having said that, they are enthusiastic and they have that "swagger" that successful teams have.  I would like to see more fire out of UR.

UR - RPI is down to one game today (maybe).  They will try and play one 9 inning game at 4pm.  DH on Monday still on the docket as far as I know.  60 mph winds somehow blew the tarp off the field and dumped the water.  Still VERY windy and cold.

SLU comes from behind to win on 2 run single walk-off over Vassar in the completion of game 1 from yesterday.  I believe this series has been reduced to 3 games, same as RPI/UR.  Lots of close losses for Vassar this year, but at 5-8 in LL, they need at least 1 win today to stay close to the pack.

I have made a decision not to discuss the trashtalk stuff on here. 
U of R gets one from RPI, good win there for them.
Union salvages the last from Skidmore.
St. Law. sweeps Vassar.  Saints can make a nice move with 3 out of 4 or sweep.

Rochester set up for a good series beating Ciesko.  Very little will be determined this weekend as usual.  Clarkson gets to sit back and watch everyone beat each other up.  Cold again today, advantage Saints.

Agree on your decision, airball.  UR scheduled to play games 2 and 3 of their series with RPI today.  Two 7 inning games.  I think they will get one in, the second is very iffy as yet another front coming in.

Great weekend for SLU, as they got some separation from Vassar and Union.  Lots of good young talent in their starting 8.  They still have to play Clarkson and Skidmore, though.

Another miserable day in upstate NY as the UR-RPI series is shortened to 2 games.  RPI takes game 2 to earn the split.  Current standings with three league weekends left:

Clarkson   9-3
RPI           7-3
SLU           8-7
Skidmore  5-5
UR            5-7
Union       4-8
Vassar     5-10

A second cancellation for UR this week....this is getting darn right depressing! UR & Vassar should get in the Friday DH, but Saturday is doubtful!

Sitting at home out here in the Midwest, just looking at the weather radar it appears the games scheduled for today won't be played. If so, in order to qualify for the playoffs Rochester would need to make up the 2 games lost to weather against Skidmore. You need 20 games to qualify for the playoffs (and a minimum of 4th place). The league reverts to your earliest canceled games for make ups. What happens after that, I don't know. Given the distances and finals week, this might be a hard task. However, unless UR rights their ship, we won't need to worry about it! If we manage to play 2 today then the 4 games next week would give UR the minimum games needed.

Are you the Liberty League commish? Other than that you have no idea. Rochester chose not to make up their games (their softball team played today at RPI, but their baseball team didn't at Vassar).  They will not make up the missing games.  Those games are NOW GONE. And where is the 20-game rule? With RIT coming into the conference next year, it might be time for UR to stick with its UAA buddies.

Trider400twhoever,
Let's see....if you were one of the 7 dwarfs you'd have to be Goofy or Dopey, 'cause you're certainly not Bashful.
With the LL schedule like it is, the weekends the other teams had open UR was playing. After this upcoming weekend when UR plays Union, UR is off the last weekend, but everyone else is playing. UR is then off for finals until May 10. If they are still in it then they will most likely need to find a way to make up the 2 games. I was told you need a minimum of 20 games to qualify for the LL tournament and the League then looks at your first cancellation. Hey, if that's not true, so be it. Sue me. Big deal. UR keeps their slim hopes alive and will battle to the end.

Easy fellas.  This weather has people a little edgy.  Let's just let things sort themselves out. Just sayin', no need to try and get people's blood pressure up.

baseballislife,
Aw shucks, just havin' some good ol' country fun! BP is still 110/70. Sure do wish we could have a triple header like IWU did yesterday!

[Pitchersmom]

Well boys, my son just decided to play/ pitch for RPI over UR next year. Tough choice for him....2 top notch programs.  Of course we hadn't discovered your blog prior to decision time!  Seems a bit stacked in favor of the Yellowjackets.  Guess someone will have to show RPI some love around here. Go Engineers!!!!

[airball55]

RPI has been a regional power since the mid 90's.  They have been down a bit the past couple years, but, still is always mentioned with the top two or three in the league.  Watch out for the short porch in rightfield

More cancellations due to weather   I'm sure tomorrow's game will be as well. Let's hope we get all 4 conference games in this weekend. When is the last time so many games have been canceled?
