BB: Top Teams in West Region

[108 Stitches]

Thanks!

Are your LOB, DP numbers correct? Seems odd that both teams would have the same LOB and DP numbers.

[Ron Boerger]

LOL - 71 and 92 DPs would be an awful lot, wouldn't they?     I think the LOB #s are correct.

Trinity has turned 2 DPs, Chapman has turned 6.

[108 Stitches]

LOL. OK I went and looked myself.

Trinity
LOB - Team (92), Opp (75). DPs turned - Team (13), Opp (7).
Chapman
LOB - Team (71), Opp (84). DPs turned - Team (6), Opp (11).

I am going to guess that Trinity's .309 avg. may take a small hit this weekend as Chapman's top three arms are pretty tough to hit against... not to say that Chapman will actually catch the ball once it is put into play, but either weay, it would not count as a hit.

It's a simple game. You hit the ball, you throw the ball, you catch the ball

Trinity's field is not a good place to play if you have a hard time catching the ball (it get's pretty beat-up with football practice)

But as long you score the most runs I take the W over batting average and fielding percentage...

they dont practice on the infield.

Well, both teams play on the same field this weekend.
Trinity has been catching the ball and throwing it on that "not a good place" this year...and apparently Chapman has struggled a bit at Orange, which I guess must be a good place?

Chapman has excellent playing surface in the infield and outstanding pitching mound. But it both teams have to play on the same surface so no blaming the playing surface at Trinity

No need to bunt this weekend for Chapman, just steal second.

Those are ridiculous defensive stats for Trinity though, aside from the SB%.

luckily the SB's havent hurt TU yet.  With Klimesh averaging 14.3 K's per 9, he has the ability to get out of jam's himself.  Lucero being a lefty slows the running game on his own.  Will be interesting to see how the series plays out.

This could be a 0-0 game into the 11th if both guys have their best stuff

Trinity has been winning games by grinding out every at bat, and every opportunity, they will keep running, bunting, slashing, hit and running, and putting pressure on you. If that does not work then someone, and you never know who, will jack one. They are relentless. They will do the same thing with Rau, and will either find a crack in his armor, or they will keep working him until he is out of there and then they will strike. It may only be a run but that is all that they will need with Klimesh and their bullpen. Even if they get down they don't care, as they know they will strike eventually, and many times it is with 2 outs late in the game and suddenly they break out, and you think how the heck did that happen. This is one very scrappy team and fun to watch. That said this series will likely be a low scoring affair with both pitching staffs.
