Game tonight postponed due to severe weather. Saturday will have a day-night doubleheader at 2 pm ET and then 7 pm ET. The latter of which will be on ESPN3.com. Apparently the wind blows in at Arkansas State and is expected to be windy Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday's matinee will be a Noon, not 2 pm as originally scheduled due to the App team having a flight to catch out of Memphis.
Starting pitchers are Thurber, Holden and Springs in that order.
Cool thing for the team is that they were on the same Charlotte-to-Memphis flight as DeAnglo Williams on Thursday.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

And Mr. Williams now also plays for the black and gold! If the team can play with the toughness and skill of the Steelers, we'll be fine.

Re: at Arkansas State series
Won game two - 6-3, for a moment there (bottom of the 9th) it looked like App was going to give another one away. However, things turned out better this time. Need to take game three tomorrow to avoid last place standing.

Re: at Arkansas State series
Biggest thing this team needs next year is a team psychologist. People that have not played baseball have no idea how the late inning woes weigh on a teams mind. It is something that takes time to overcome. The talent is here on this team. The team is short one weekend starter and a few bullpen arms.
Lets get the series win today.

Re: at Arkansas State series
Here's the crazy part. The game had a soft curfew of 2:45 pm ET due to App's flight out of Memphis. So if App had gotten out of the 9th, the game would be over and the result a tie.

Re: at Arkansas State series
maybe we should've tried to hit the batter rather than intentional walk.
why do intentional walk pitches have to be to the outside anyway? good excuse to throw some chin music

Re: at Arkansas State series
Here's an interesting, but meaningless stat. Billy Jones (as of today's last game at A-State) is a bad 64-89 so far into his third season as our head coach. That translates into a winning percentage of .350 and falling like a rock. Billy's program is waaaay upside-down.WataugaMan wrote:To the "joy" of many, screw it, I'm done, until a change is made!!
For comparison, Appalachian's overall winning percentage from 1955 (since complete records have been maintained) until the present is .510.
The bad news is that Billy can't afford to resign, no matter how deflated he is or how hard it has become for him to drive to work each day; and Appalachian can't afford to buy out his contract. Catch 22! Billy and ASU are stuck with each other.
The good news, you ask? I count only 9 games remaining on the schedule.

Re: at Arkansas State series
Maybe someone knows the answer to this question. I can find no 2015 Baseball Media Guide. Did Cobb use the funds for the baseball media guide (and other things) for the salary increases his minions received?

Re: at Arkansas State series
I can't find one either. A quick scan found one for the other 19 sports for 2014-15, but not for baseball.asu66 wrote:Maybe someone knows the answer to this question.

Fear not, we know the promotions for the game though, which we all know is more important.

Re: at Arkansas State series
Can't remember 66 if you had said you had ever coached, I know you played sports - but, I'm telling you, the day a coach finds he dreads going to work is the day he should move onto another profession - I don't know Coach Jones but I would bet 100% he is always looking forward to the next day with his team - He would never have made it to this level without that drive!!! ---asu66 wrote:
