Almost a month away before our first game and we still don’t have this years roster available. Have they not had there final cuts yet?
Probably a lot more chatter after signing day. Personally I look forward to seeing Kingston’s brand of baseball, but am cautiously optimistic mainly because of the lack of experienced arms coming back. The offensive lineup could be dangerous though with several veterans returning, and the good things I’ve heard about coach Current as a hitting coach
Yeah I am real curious to see our team's approach at the plate, and if the defense is solid. Miss the double plays.
My guess would be Lawson and Morris, just because of their experience, but who knows. Maybe a freshman or 2 that surprise. We’ll definitely need some pleasant surprises if we are going to make a regional or better, since we also need a closer and some setup guys out of the bullpen.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what the new staff produces. I'm especially eager to see how the pitching end of things develops. I was apprehensive at the loss of Meyers. That was a monster loss, in my opinion.
For sure our new pitching coach will have his hands full due to the lack of return players. Hopefully the bats and defense can keep us going until the arms get going. I too can't wait for Coach K's touch on our program.
Final cuts in the past have been in the week prior to Opening Day; usually on Wed. and Thursday.
Will be interesting to see with Coach Kingston.
At this point (if work allows) I’m going to try and catch as many practices as possible. Anxious to see what CMK has in store
keep updates coming if you go. Living 90 miles away and work make it sometimes difficult for me to do this. Weekends, no problem.
in the past they would do a couple scrimmage/practices the weekend or two prior to opening the season......Don't discount the breeze coming off the river down the 3rd base line.
I think this team will play better baseball than it has in years..I just don't see enough talent on the pitching staff to do what we expect...It will take Kingston another recruiting class to fix that pitching staff

Roster does not have to be finalized until the day before/morning of First pitch. Practices haven't even started yet since classes just started today.

Baseball scrimmages are always open to the public, as they always have been. Daily practices are hit or miss as to if they let the public in.
I think the Kingston hire is going to produce some surprising results.I think he will get good results faster than expected. I read today where he sighned a top freshman and a few weeks ago he sighned a former junior college all american catcher. I like what ive read and heard so far about him
My Favorite part is waiting to see who is gonna come out of no where and dazzle Like a Lonnie Chisenhall (minus the problems).
