2017 Season Notes

Don't know much about this team. Has someone already posted projections for how we might do? Usually make it out to a game or two during the year. Love watching baseball at Haymarket Park.

NU was predicted to finish 2nd or 3rd in the conference, and make a NCAA regional. Erstad's goal this year is for NU to host a NCAA tournament regional. Hope this helps.

 
I listened to the Schleppenbach interview with Josh Peterson on 1620 last week before the opening weekend. Schleppenbach made a comment about the team having a "business-like" attitude going into this season. That was kind of cringeworthy for me. It works for some teams, but for a team who hasn't done jack for nearly a decade and especially this program who should have 1-2 conferences titles, it gives me cause for concern.

If this is another season like last year...relying on knocking the ball around the park, instead of playing at least some small ball and putting runners in motion to create opportunities, it's going to be another disappointing season.

 
5th in the conference (via RPI) in a conference that is literally the most pathetic baseball conference out there. The same conference we said we should dominate when we walked in the door because of how weak it was.
