I expect “ improvement “ at least on a cycle. If we peaked last season ok , it’s a rebuild but it’s a rebuild from a team that didn’t make post season.

Midweek games are important. Experts predict that our conference will send four to six teams to the NCAA playoffs. If we can play ourselves into the top six, we’re in the conversation. I had different expectations that a lot on here. At no point was APP an at large team. Again my opinion. And I'm j...

It’s not that I didn’ like it, the logic is strange. Nope not really. Most coaches usually use them as a low risk sandbox to give younger guys more seasoning. If you never play the young guys, you’ll never know what to expect from them when the pressure is on. You don't see that much at APP. Correc...

So these mid week games are nothing more than a glorified practice, that’s a relief.

Sorry if you don't like the answer I gave. Conference games are the ones that matter.

Starting to look as though my earlier middle of the road comment was a bit off. They still are a mid tier SBC team. (be proud of that- big time conference for baseball) Winning mid week games is always nice but unless your looking for an at large bid for NCAA tourney - chalk these up to learning ex...

arms ≠ pitching Doesn't matters if the PC is green or not. Tough spot for him even if he's been with the program. While Meinhold is a good baseball guy, In retrospect it probably wasn't the best move for a program that needs stability. Sooner rather than later he was going...much sooner than I think...

15 is the magic # to stay away from single elimination play in the SBC tourney. 9-6 in conference play the rest of the way!!!!

Wilson has been on campus for all of four months so his story isn’t written yet. But I don’t know that I would pull the trigger in assuming that he is the guy in 2025. The plan was for Wright to backup and start next year so I would imagine that will be the thought process with the next man up on F...

Portal opens tomorrow. Let’s find a few Mountaineers! If they took my viewpoint point, they should be beating down the door to play at APP. Looks like App is losing one...I'll let the good people of the YC look for it and watch the panic level go to 10 on here. Gotta go get my popcorn. This is gonn...

Who wants to educate me about women's collegiate golf??? I saw our tournament score and it was 316. 316 divided by 4 is a 79. I would think we should be able to land 4 women golfers that could break 79. Are they playing from the red tees??? I would think with title 9 all of our ladies are on schola...

If we don’t rally and pull this one out we should fire the staff. Rescind all scholarships and burn the stadium down.

Or just move the team to Hickory.

Oh man… It would been way funnier if it was either me or space monkey that said this. Kudos to the pot stir

Queens - 360 Coastal Game One - 835 Coastal DH - 1,135 Marshall Game One - 361 Marshall Game Two - 586 Marshall Game Three - 1,027 High Point - 1,296 Averaging 800 a game. Queens midweek was during spring break and Marshall Game One on a Thursday was fridigly cold. Hickory series attendendes was 36...

FWIW, Marshall has a brand-new on-campus field. Previously they either played at the local YMCA field (no joke) or went 45 minutes to Charleston (where App played last year). More series in Hickory isn't going to magically increase the win total. You just came out of left field no pun intended. Nob...

So instead of going back-and-forth with you guys, I’m just gonna pose a question. Since they don’t play up there until mid March, what is the answer then? If you don’t want them playing at Hickory, what do you do? Weather is so unpredictable up on the mountain, they don’t have many choices. Can’t ha...

So I’m gonna try not to be a smart ass here. But yes, I am a former Division I baseball player myself and a little bit or two about the program. So that’s my two cents worth thanks for your perspective, buddy Yeah, but my recollection is that you played elsewhere, right (If I am mistaken, my apolog...

So you say 7° difference. But will Travel to away games and make it a 10 to 12 hour day in North Carolina instead of playing in Hickory? Doesn’t make sense to me. You do understand that you are arguing with a guy (311neers) that actually played baseball for App under Pollard, right? I'd say his per...

The games in Hickory are poorly attended and that's a weak minor league park. Needs serious improvements and renovations if we're calling that home. By playing in Hickory, you turn what is usually a 7-8 hour day into a 10 hour day. No player wants that for 7 degrees difference. So you say 7° differ...
