Not a big Football Guy but I am just happy that OWU made the list. Hope they earn it on the field. While I highly respect the voters opinions and they are clearly well informed and have valid opinions. Pre season polls are that, opinions. Educated opinions? Yes. I think the poll is pretty spot on, but it doesn't mean a lot, because no games have been played.

Bottom line this is just conversation, by well informed people. Win it on the field and all this will mean nothing. Don,t sweat it.

Thanks for the information. Most helpful. Looks like Denison has a meeting on August 29 (first day of classes) and they start Fall practices on September 10. It also appears the DU has 19 incoming freshman who are either recruited players or walk-ons that the coaching staff knows about to date. Son is looking forward to getting started.  ;D
There should be plenty of opportunities for freshmen, DU had a small roster last year with, 24. They lose 6 seniors 5 of which played a big rolls for them last year.
Name                 Pos   Class   BA   GP/GS   AB   R    H   ERA   W-L   APP  GS  CG  IP      
Tim Duxbury      RHP/IF   Sr. .298   27-24   84  17  25 3.40   6-3    12     5   2   42.1
Philip Seay         RHP      Sr.                                         5.45   2-3    17    0   0   33.0 
Lowell Hall          C         Sr.  .286  35-27    98  18  28
Kyle Clemmenson SS     Sr. .384   41-41   151 43   58
Danny Kraus        OF/LHP Sr. .324  41-41  170 43  55  3.42   2-0     7   6   0   26.1
Sam Belisle              RHP    Sr.                                       3.38   0-0     7   0   0   10.2

Pitching they need to replace 11 starts, and 111.4 innings pitched out of 349.8. thats almost a third of total innings piched. I believe Colgain and Murphy are good bets for the starting rotation. With Ian Walsh and Ian Barry, the other POSSIBLE weekend starters.  That leaves open week day starts.

They also lose a lot of Offense, they lose 133 starts and most of the meat of their batting order. Ryan Mulligan will be back,Charlie Apfrlbach, and Andrew Toughey.  Afelbach was a number one hitter most the year, Ryan was in the 4,4, or 5 spot most the year, with Toughey moving around a bit.
Clemson,Kraus, and  Duxburry were in the meat of the order with Hall some where near the bottom of the order.

Dropped Son off today, school doesn't start for another week, he is going to be a an orientation Leader for the Freshmen. Stopped by the field. Out field fence, back stop and fence down both lines are down. The block has been delivered for the new backstop. I did not stop to take any pictures, not much to see.

Heidelberg OF Ricardo Lizcano was traded on July 5 from the Lake Erie Crushers to the Evansville Otters of the Independent Frontier League. The change seems to agree with him as he is hitting .381 with the Otters.
Glad to hear he is doing well with the Otters.

I was wondering the same thing. I hope it is because now he is an AD or assistant AD someplace.

News on the replacement of the Metrodome. I hope this is the appropriate place to put this. If not please move to a more appropriate place.

Thanks Big Poppa, +1. I will post this over there.

Thanks bash, you are right about OWU they need to find a running game. That will help nearer the goal line. I am interested to see Watts recruiting class. Hopefully the running game will be better this year.

The Prospect League is just about done, the Chillicothe Paints lost 2 games to none in the first round to the defending League Champion West Virginia Miners.

Heidelberg SR Chris Thomas was 2-0 in 7 appearances, all starts. 32 2/3 IP, 1.60 ERA, 19Ks, 14BBs, .191 OBA, 1.09 WHIP
Depauw JR Jack Peck was 2-1 in 6 appearances, all starts, 32 IP, 25 Ks, 9BBs, .250 OBA, 1.22 WHIP
Ohio Northern SO Ben Glischinski was 2-1 in 10 appearances, 9 starts, 40 2/3 IP, 31Ks, 24 BBs, .252 OBA, 1.53 WHIP

Wooster SR Zach Mathie hit .298 in 51 games with 5 HR and 22 RBI and was a mid season All Star selection

There were a couple of other NCAC players (Depauw) that played with Richmond in the Prospect League, but I am not ambitious enougn to post their stats here.

Looking forward to fall baseball and a much better year in the Berg.

I posted these on the NCAC board, but since they were brought up, here are the numbers for the two on the River Rats.
Name               POS     College Team                             League               W  l  S ERA
Michael Chiaro:    P      Depauw  Richmond River Rats    Prospect             1  6  0 5.28
Alexander Sroka:  P     Depauw  Richmond River Rats     Prospect            0  1  0 148.50 *Alexander only pitched .2 innings so these numbers are skewed.

There were several NCAC players in the Great lakes and PGCBL as well. If you interested those numbers are posted on the NCAC board.

I have always had a lot of respect for Coach Mourouzis. I only ever spoke with him once, during Bell Week, for The Bachelor. Very gracious dealing with a kid from the enemy school. He deserves the honor.

Y'all got any update photos of the new field, Wes?




Going to try to get down there in the next couple of weeks and check it out for myself.

BTW, thanks for the #touchingofficials shoutout, wally.
Looks a lot better than when I was out there in the spring.  It was all mud and dirt. They have made great progress since then.
