Last Rodeo

[Peppermint Patty]

Hard to believe it's here. It's a tie between excitement and wanting to punch a certain college coach in his mouth.

 

Emporia State, Stingers Up, Hornets!

This will be his 2nd year there. He played 2 years at UH.

Great start to the season. Glad my wife and I got to be there.

11-15? Must be those new balls!




Seriously, has Price mentioned anything about the new baseballs? It will be interesting to see if it helps the offensive numbers this year.

Not much talk about the ball. They were definitely jumping off the bat for both teams.

IMO the HR numbers will be up this year at every level. Not like those 23 run games of yore, but scoring will be up too. The NCAA needed to increase the excitement. Our ADD generation does not appreciate a 1-0 defensive pitching struggle.

For Love of the Game

Well, just like that, it's over. ESU loses at the Minnesota Regional and baseball is over.

Not the ending you want, but only one team wins their last game.

Thanks for the memories. Time to turn the page.
