Heard that Missou got those 4 runs without getting a hit!

Maybe they got a little league home run or two.

Nice photo! I'll bet you are just as excited.

Cool

Have been keeping tabs on baseballson, since Falmouth! His teammate is son's good friend.

Congrats and way to go!

I got a question - why doesn't ESPN and ESPNews show at least the top 25 schools scores for baseball?

No offense to these schools but I don't care about the basketball scores for schools like

Arkansas Pine Bluff
Samford
Cleveland State
Siena

If they can put these basketball and football scores up why can't they put the top 25 baseball and softball scores.

Thanks, folks!
TPM, Shooter won first game, Fri night season opener. Going for SWEEP today
These guys are really pumped to be back home in their OWN facility.

saw the Stanford games. wow, stanford beat Nebraska handily in the first game. Had a 17-0 lead and then put a bunch of freshman in and ended up wining 17-7. Second game DIFFERENT STORY. Nebraska won that one easily. Eric Davis mowed down the 1st three batters in 2nd game for Stanford and then Nebraska's bats came alive. It's too early to try to figure teams out yet.

SDSU is out of the gate HOT!!! USD is ranked top 10 and was taken down SDSU and Tony Gwenn. Tony has some MAJOR weopons on that team. CASTRO is an all-around stud and great utility player. Green is on FIRE!!!!! First game 2 homers, 2nd game almost hit for cycle. Let's see if they can keep it going.

As parent of college player, and the father of a pitcher who has experienced an "epic meltdown," as you so eloquently put it, I will tell you that it can be a little disconcerting to come on this board and read something like you posted. I would hope that standard courtesy applies to naming college players, that being positives only or let them remain un-named. Remember that these young men are student athletes and not professionals. Please hold your criticism in check.

GA opens their weekend vs. Arizona w/ a great start beating Arizona 9 to 7, but fail to capitalize on great starting pitching in the next two games and drop 2, 7-1 in game two and 9-8 in game three.

I toned down my post. In my excuberence for opening day in college baseball, I turned into a fan with attitude and I apologize. You are absolutely correct. It truely wasn't a meltdown. A meltdown is throwing wild pitches and not being able to control the ball along with other things. He just simply was getting hit and they all get hit from time-to-time.

Thanks Spizzle- good point, and thank you switchhitter for reconsidering your post.
We need to support our guys, the last thing we need to do pick them apart when they are doing what a lot cannot, playing baseball at the collegiate level.

Here is what my freshman son had to say after his collegiate debut this weekend "IT WAS THE MOST FUN I HAVE EVER HAD PLAYING BASEBALL - EVER!"
He put in four innings, 1K, 1SO, no runs, got his first save.

I really have never heard such happiness in his voice.

Good luck to all this season.

Thank you switchitter. As you may know, Erik's father is a frequent poster here- not that he needs anyone to stand up for him.

Great news iheart. That's exactly the type of reaction that all us parents love to hear about. He worked hard for that save, and so have you. Great start to his college career!

baseballmom,

I love that pic, and what fun to hear that baseballson got his first college win. I did not realize he didn't get one last year, with all the success he had as a true freshman. I have a feeling we will be seeing his name in the highlights of a lot of games this year!

Some interesting games today....

Cleveland State over #23 Louisville

Indiana over LSU

North Florida taking out Mississippi State for the 2nd day in a row....

Switchitter

You are right SDSU is on fire. First game against one of the top pitchers(and he is legit) in the country, score SDSU 11-USD 2 Game two was shootout USD 17- SDSU 11, its a loss but we still put 11 up which is great. Game three last night SDSU 15 USD 2. Game 4 was cancelled until Monday. Lets see if SDSU can keep it up. Romereo got it all started on Friday night and they have kept it up since. Strass was definitely awesome on Friday and Sat Nate Solow did his job along with J.R Murphy too.

Good luck

How about Coastal Carolina and St John's both undefeated after the first weekend !!!

I did not know the father posted on here. Even if I didn't know (dumb assumption), it still didn't make it right for me to comment like that. This board is amazing with all the families of the student-athletes coming in here and supporting and learning about HS baseball but as I am finding out, learning about college baseball and beyond as well. Great things to learn here! Thanks again for setting me straight.

Lclcoach:
Great weekend of SDSU baseball! I went to watch the Sunday game and on their web-site I just saw the all-mighty UGLY tarp pulled over the field.

I'll be watching Monday!

There's a lot of up's and down's in baseball in general.
You might as well get use to it.
As a Player and as a Parent.
Of coarse there is no training for parent's.

The past is behind you.
The future is ahead of you.
And the here and now is what count's.
I'm looking forward to the next game.

Nice recovery, switchitter. I missed your original post, but you fixed it. Good job.

Did you use TRhit's apology reference?

GA took one from arizona state!

Tulane swept UIC this opening weekend!!

what was the temp? was the wind blowing? were the players cold too? those aluminum bats take a beating in bad weather.

.

Daytime temps of 35-42, 90% humidity, 15mph wind (steady). Standing water in the outfield (roostertails) with kids almost going hypothermic after diving in early innings and standing out in the cold for the rest of the game.

I didn't "brave the night games", but it snowed (flurries) both nights, with howling wind.

OfcrKID#1 (Air Force grad) showed up for two days to watch little brother against his former team. Nice stuff to watch the interaction, now that Karl has gone to the next level.

Northern Colorado--5---3---4---2

Rice--------------0---2---3
Long Beach State--1---3---1

Boy it sure was nice to see the games start but,......... generally speaking, way too many errors and cold. I can't wait for the 2-1 nail biters and warm weather.

academy: thats way too cold for baseball. I must imagine that some of those kids are now sick from the weather and missing classes. That kind of weather usually postpones games but if it's a tournament, I'm finding out that college baseball just pushes ahead because of all the travel arrangements and cost so they go ahead and put the kids in peril in nasty weather like that. I wonder if they allow them to wear earmuffs instead of a hat?
