I watched Linfield vs. Trinity yesterday... but it was brutal... kept freezing.  They probably just bagged it after that.

Manley pitched 4.1 on Thursday... wonder how much longer he can go today.  Ah heck, he's young... going 9 today is probably no big deal to him.

LOL....they pulled him just after your post

Add a 2nd failed bunt to the laundry list and the "double steal" that got thrown out at home.  Frustrating to not be able to see it.... no video feed for Championship Saturday?  

I guess a Webcam and PC and High Speed Internet connection costs too much !

NOT

No, but the NCAA licensing costs and the personnel do!

The facilities were there.  (McMurry ran a pay-per-view package again this season.  For $70, we got 10 football games, 20+ men's and 20+ women's basketball games, 20+ baseball games and an assortment of about 20 more men's and women's soccer and women's volleyball games.)

Why did not Chapman buy the licenses to broadcast the Chapman games?   I believe that PAWS, the parents and alumni crew from Trinity, paid the licenses.

One team is not better than the other, so Chapman has to be feeling pretty good.

Good question. 

[CAT BAT 22]

Enough with the small ball... we're ofer the tournament executing the friggin bunt.  Just swing the sticks!

[Ralph Turner]

Great outing by McGee for Chapman!

Well lets hope that holds true.
It's not that Mcgee was unexpected....I just assumed he was slated for Game 2 if it was required.

Actually, Coach T usually saves the ace for the win-or-go-home game. See below:

If memory serves me right Chapman was so deep on the mound in '05 it didn't matter. I also think it was a 4-team regional.

In '06 TLU had to beat them twice on the last day and they started their #4 Kitchens (wow, a #4 - talk about a staff). After he lost, they brought back #1 Klovstad and #2 Drag to win the final game.

'07 is irrelevant because they had to beat Pac Lu twice. Both Drag & Kitchens came back on short rest.

'08 was just the Yacko show.

In '09 they had to beat GFU twice and threw Luzar first, lost, and then brought back their #1 that year (after Kitchens went down), Sigman to win the final game.

In '10 they weren't ever in the drivers seat.

So if '06 and '09 are any indication of Coach T's strategy. He usually doesn't go for the jugular in Game #1 and only brings back the #1 in a must win scenario.

Hope this helps.

Kitchens was a freshman!  That is why he was the #4!

McMurry saw him as a reliever early in the season. 

I think it had less to do with classification and more to do with personnel.

He was a freshman, but Drag and Klovstad were still better pitchers as well.

Ruah was a freshman last year, but he still emerged as the #1 for them last year. He didn't give way to Sigman just because he was the upperclassmen.
