BB: LL: Liberty League

[BaseB13]

I'll say this.

a) St Lawrence has made it to the final day of the LL Championship 4 years in a row now (Won it in 2006)

b)  I believe if UR had made it to the finals that they would have been close to a 100% lock to be in Regionals.  However, I still think they have a legitimate shot at a Pool C bid.  Much of it will depend on if there are any upsets in the other conference tournaments.  (i.e. if Amherst somehow takes two from Trinity tomorrow then Trinity is obviously going to receive a Pool C bid which means less for teams like UR, doubt Trinity loses two though)

C) I believe the most Pool C bids are available ever this year so that should help UR as well.

Yes I believe Rochester deserves a shot and no you never disagreed.   I thought you kids hit the ball well.  Just had too many LOB and defense was keys. 

Going 11 innings or 12 whatever it went, caused Rochester and St Law to use up pitchers  RPI should have an advntage, but this is baseball.  Anything can happen.

Boomer,

When you took 3 out of 4  against us.  I "man'ed up".  YOur pitchers pounded us at RPI.   And would have liked to battle again tomorrow with you.

It would have been fun.

Heard one of Rochester's pitchers was just drafted:

MLB draft is next week, for those wondering.

[WLCALUM83]

My apologies, should have worded my previous post a bit differently.

[NYBB]

i wonder if pete will sign here and not wait for the MLB draft..

[BoomerIL]

NYBB....

According to the Frontier League website under "transactions," Pete signed on the 14th, and is listed on the roster on their web page.  So, unless some MLB team either buys his contract, or makes some sort of a trade, he is a Traverse City Beach Bum.

If any MLB team wants him, they'll sign him as a free agent. That's usually how it works when players move from independent baseball to affiliated baseball.

Pete McEneaney pitched a 1-2-3 inning in his professional debut tonight for the Traverse City Beach Bums. Traverse City whitewashed the Midwest Sliders, 8-1.

John....

Thanks for the information, I'll let my son know.  Pete and the Beach Bums will be in our area (Chicago) in a couple of weeks.  We'll catch-up with him then.

One of my better friends from college is the new play-by-play announcer for the team near you, the Windy City Thunderbolts.

Props to him! 

There's another Frontier League pitcher who's a D3 alum--Concordia-Austin's Jonathan Miller-- who pitches for the River City Rascals.

Here's a link that shows how he fared in his first start this year.

Here's another with the Frontier League schedule, (should both pitchers do well enough to hang around until Traverse City and River City play each other).

John McGraw.....

[NYBB]
