My name is Sean Simard, the GM for the Capital City Reds. We're a summer collegiate team based in Ottawa Canada. We're saving a few roster spots for pitchers we may have overlooked and are still looking for 1 catcher. We're a travel team that plays all over New York State, Ontario, Quebec, and go to the World Series in Ohio. If you're looking for a place to play this summer and can compete at this level please send us a message. Visit our website, capitalcityreds.com or e-mail seansimard01@hotmail.com
Congrats Backstop and Buckeye.
Younggun- let us know how your son does. Looking forward to following him. I know it has been a long journey back. Best of luck!
Not too bad the first two innings. Third inning unraveled a bit and didn't make it out of the inning. Good weekend though, going 3-1.
PO Jr off to his worst start in 3 years. Not sure what's going on, but hopeful things change. Arm feels great, velocity same, off speed pitches crisp, balls just finding holes.
He told me to relax, it's early. I like his confidence, but it's hard for a dad to watch.
Son finally off to a great start after missing the first 2 weeks with a injury catching . First game 2 hits, 2 walks, and 3 stolen bases. This kid is always working extra time either lifting, throwing, or working out to make himself better so was glad to see it pay off.

One bad outing and with good reason from what I heard about the trip down 
Never been a pitcher who didn't have those once in a while. He'll be fine.

Who's on First, you guys scare the heck out of me. I have told folks I think you all are easily a top 10 team and that most folks have you all rated way to low.
Son is good friends and has played in the past with your freshman third baseman and catcher. Both are great players and great guys. Good luck to your son and his teammates this spring. Now if we end up in your regional again I will have to retract..ha
Thanks, BackStop. Small world. My son played with Logan in HS and Jameson during a fall season. I always liked DBU's program.
Son got in the 2nd game on Sat in 8th. 1st up got hit, 2nd grounded into 6-4-3 and struck out 3rd. 9th came and he struck out the side with backwards K on last batter. Looked good, up to 96 and solid command of breaking ball but we dropped the series to WSU. Good team, up next is WCU...then Elon this weekend. GO Tigers!
Son made his first appearance tonight. Started top of 8th. 2Ks and BB. Faced only 3 batters due to strict pitch count. He still has a long way to go, but that had to feel really good to him after 2 long years and 2 surgeries. Can tell you I'm a pretty proud dad. Forgot how much I loved seeing him on the mound.
Wow, that's awesome, Younggun. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. Easy for ME to say 
Ryan was the SWAC Pitcher of the Week! Pretty cool.
TWIN FALLS - College of Southern Idaho sophomore Ryan Beard pitched a gem last weekend against Northeastern Junior College, earning Scenic West Athletic Conference Pitcher of the Week accolades.
Beard was almost untouchable on the mound, pitching all seven innings in the Golden Eagles 9-0 win.
The left-hander finished the game, giving up just three hits and one walk with four strikeouts.
For the season, Beard holds a 1.76 ERA in 15.1 innings pitched and 1-1 record.
Awesome Ryno!!
Congrats YoungGun, it's been a minute. I hope he does well, is on his way and also wish him continued health.
So happy for younggun son. Been a long time since being on the mound. I know the feeling of being that Dad anticipating that.
congrats Ryno on pitcher of week. Awesome
Congrats to Ryan and young guns son. So happy to hear of such successes.
Congrats Ryno and Younggun. Always great to hear about everyone's sons. Heading north to Dallas again in a few hours. New Mexico up this weekend. They are number two and we are number 3 in home runs early on. Friendly hitters park may make for a high scoring weekend.
Son started a bit slow at his NAIA the first few series but really picked it up since. What has been particularly fun is that they have played a few ranked opponents, including a very good D2, and he has tore it up against those teams but not so much against the others. Not-so-fun... he, once again, leads the team in HBP (by a safe margin).
And here's another HSBBW networking story...
Son's school's basketball team is nationally ranked and won their conference. They hosted the first round of the conference tourney Tuesday. The basketball coach is also one of son's class instructors. He put son in charge of "fan involvement" to make sure the student body was getting in the heads of the opponents (son used other words for the job description - I told him his mother would be so proud 
). Son knew who to call right away- last year's roommate and son of our esteemed PickedOff, who is all the way across the country. PO's son has perfected the art.
The whole baseball team was in full force and the antics were very well received and very effective. Today, the school's athletic website has the feature pic of the basketball team celebrating and running over to the baseball team in the stands to thank them for the big assist.
Thanks, son of PickedOff... you just put a little SF in WV and helped a basketball team across the country pick up a big W.
Congrats Younggun. So happy for you guys.
Shoveit4Ks, I love watching your kid pitch... pumping 96 over 4-1/3 inning with 9 Ks Friday night. Great effort. I hope you don't mind me posting this link of Ryley.
