The whole tournament will now take place at Montclair State University because the pitcher's mound at Columbia is defective. No more games will be broadcast on ESPN+. We always say that the umpires' desire is to not be noticed. I would guess the same applies to groundskeepers. This is a new one.

Author: joiseyfan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:40:55 05/18/24 Sat In the “it’s an ill wind that blows no good” department, this will give everybody a chance to stop by the adjacent Yogi Museum, a real smalll gem with his ten World Series rings and lots of other wonders from mid-century, also stuff from local favorite Larry Doby, great video selections and wonderful staff. My son and I were docents there when Yogi and Carmen were alive, and it remains a treasured memory. They’re open until they close, as he said. https://yogiberramuseum.org/ The only problem with the gorgeous stadium is it gets late early out there.

[> [> Subject: Re: Flash! Author: Old Lion (No excuses) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:00:42 05/19/24 Sun We played against the two best pitchers in the league; both of them shut down our #s 1 and 4 hitters. The Princeton coach made a brilliant move in holding his ace fro game 2, assuming that whatever happened in game 1 he would see either Penn or Columbia in game 2. So we can go 17-4 over a season in which we only see one ace a weekend, yet in a short series we saw 2 in 2 games. But that is no excuse; our starters pitched well enough in both games; but the relief pitching was awful, especially in game 2. Yet we threw too many pitches in the dirt in game 1, gave up too many walks in both games, and were just flat out outplayed. Despite our record, we really did not have a lights out starting pitcher all year, and if we want to go further in the tournament we will need one going forward. Maybe Andy Leon will be that guy, but we lost him for the season in week 2. Nonetheless my hat is off to this team—17-4 is still a great season.
