Just throwing out some meat.  Love to get some talk going and nothing better than spitting a little trash!  No, never been picked by Ziegler.  If that's legal it's gotta be the sickest pick in the game to 2nd base.

Maybe they would not get "pounded" by top teams.  But I would like to see them play some tougher opponents to see where they really stack up.  I want to see how good other areas in the nation stack up to our conference.  No better way than have our best team battle the other best out there(see I have love for 'em, just wanna spice it up and love the great comments back).

I could also make an educated arguement that anyone in the top 15 nationally ranked could put a beating on UTT.  No strength of schedule.  Play someone other than Phoenix Online and DeVry.  Plus homefield advantage for UTT, I hear, is like putting Game Genie into your Sega, because it becomes lopsided.  Ziegler can perform balks anytime everytime, that's Game Genie itself.  Let's crown them after the Conference Tourny, if they can come out of it.

ASC East Playoff Teams -

UT Tyler:

Offense:  A
Every single starter is currently hitting over .300 – I don't know what other team can say that. Most teams pitchers can relax a bit near the end of the order, but that's not the case with this Tyler team. Kendall Fox started slow, but both he and Newell are hitting over .400 in conference play, which sets the tone nicely and puts runners on the base for Lemire, Hardin and Daleiden.

Pitching: A
Tempted to give them an A+ because they've been so much better than the rest of the conference, but with Booher's limited innings, and the fact that aside from Zeigler, nobody in the pen has really established they can consistently get out the big bats in the West.  Sparks has been good in limited action the last couple of weeks and could be a key factor in a playoff push.

Defense: A+
Daleiden hasn't been great at SS, but Towns, Hodges, and Lemire have been nails.

Other:
They'll love home field advantage throughout. They get knocked a bit just because Vilade has to prove he can do it in the playoffs.

Project ASC record: 15-3

You forgot to add an over-ratedness category for a weak Ease....A+ for UTT

Staggs did a good job overall going 6 or 7 innings.

Staggs did a great job for TLU.  He was great to watch.  McM is still testing the water as to a third starter.  Kyle Martin and Cody Curry are becoming consistent with their location and focus.  Today's games where so much more entertaining as some really solid baseball was played by both sides.  The errors where under control on both sides.  Nights can make it hard to judge the ball when you do not play many night games. 

Good luck to TLU the rest of the season.  Hope you guys make it home safe.

TLU is hungry for a ASC Championship.  They looked good tonight against McM. 

Have errors been a problem across the ASC?  I have seen my fair share this season.

McM v TLU has been moved to 7 tonight with two games on Sunday.  The field is being worked on.  The sun has not come out, still have an overcast in Abilene but no rain is falling or in the forecast.  If the game is played tonight I sure hope no one gets injured because of the field.

MCM v TLU has been moved to a 4pm start time on Saturday.  The squeegees come out tomorrow morning as we work hard to get the field ready.

If the weatherman is right, Abilene should only see another .1 - .2 inches of rain late this afternoon and overnight.  The tarp is off the field and ready for the sun to peak through to assist in drying.  The games are scheduled to start at 1 tomorrow with talk of the games being pushed to 4.  The field should be game ready tomorrow if the rain clears out over night allowing 2 games tomorrow, Sat, and 1 game on Sunday.

Ty very much for the welcome!

Abilene, TX has been under a storm system which dropped .75 inches in the past 24hrs with another .50 coming the next 24hrs.  This may put all three games to Sunday since McM travels Mon & Tues.  We will wait to see if McMurry has a horse in the bullpen that can come out and throw innings in bunches or just how deep the pitching staff goes.

Thanks to Marietta for traveling to Abilene this weekend and playing some awesome baseball.  It was fun to watch and good luck to them.  They are well coached and a solid team.

McM v TLU is now in the books for two Sat starting at 1 with a sun game.

Looking more and more like McM v TLU will be moved to Saturday/Sun due to weather
