Is there any concern for the way Whitworth has played in the past few weeks after having such a hot start?

Okay okay, I'll give myself a pat on the back for guessing the all-NWC 100% (other than putting Zimmer at utility to have Lawson at 3B). I imagine that's more of a seniority thing since Lawson is a senior and Zimmer a sophomore. Anyway, congrats to Olis and Wells. It wouldn't surprise me if Olis is a first team all American. His numbers are silly.

Yes, yes indeed.

Happy 2017!

Super bummed that the NWC Preseason tournament was cancelled this weekend due to weather... but the season still starts today!

Pacific @ George Fox (on their new field!).

Should be another great season...

I got the conference coming down to Whitworth and Linfield, as I think they have the best guys on the mound.

What about PLU? They were in the regional and if I recall they get most of their kids back.

They return a lot of their offense, but their pitching is a huge question mark. They lost 3 of their 4 starters from last year, and pretty much their only go-to reliever (Brown, who had 29 appearances)... and their pitching staff wasn't that good last year with those guys. So I guess if they find some people to give them solid innings, they will have a great shot. I just don't know enough about their staff to assume.

Keep an eye on Willamette, also.  They start today in So Cal.

Not a very good start for George Fox....sucks to see a program that was one of the top in the West fall so far down.

Definitely has been a tough weekend for George Fox in Arizona.  Hopefully they can get the season turned around.

Linfield got off to a good start today in the late game, holding on for a tight 2-1 win over Cal Lu.  Both sides played pretty well considering it was their first game of the season, though there were definitely a few rough edges to work out.  Cason Cunningham pitched 5 1/3 scoreless, and Matt Strang came in to finish it.  Cal Lu mounted a challenge in the 9th but Strang induced a flyball to center to end it with runners on second and third.  If the rest of Linfield's pitching matches up to this effort, and the offense starts clicking a bit better, this could be a return to good things for the program.

Disappointing opening weekend in conference play for the Cats. :-[ Tough to see the bullpen lose it following Cunningham's gem for the first 6 innings in Game 2.

The pitching staff has struggled mightily with command early on here in 2016 (very unusual for a Carnahan pitching staff). Through 7 games, the staff is allowing 5.57 BB/Games, which is a big increase from previous years (3.17 BB/Game in 2016, 2.91 BB/Game in 2015, 2.56 BB/Game in 2014, and 2.34 BB/Game in 2013). Command has been a hallmark of Carney's pitching staffs over the years so I expect this issue to be resolved, but hopefully we see an improvement soon before the Cats give away more conference games.
