Baseball now 0-6.  Early in the season or not, I thought we should have one win by now. Fortunately there's hoops to focus on.

Tough. But I'm still confident they will pick this up. Its february. Lets give them team some time to gel. I didn't expect a lot from them early in the season. but My hopes are still high that they can win the America East and head on to the NCAAs. I'll be worried if we not in first place in the AE by mid April. There's talent but we must recognize that we lost a ton of talent last year. These kids can only get better.


Lets go Seawolves

We pretty much had a minor league team last season playing at the D1 level.  We will improve Im sure , some winnable games next weekend.

The team dropped another one today......that's seven straight. :-[  Coach Senk must be pulling his hair out.

we lost 2-3...

Should we hit the panic button?

I personally don't think so. Let them play,  let them gel. I'm sure this team will compete for the America East Championship. That's what matters. Keep the same philosophy. I hope ya weren't hoping for an at-large resume into the NCAAs right after losing seven guys to the Minors...

Yes, we gotta get that first win sooner or later before the guys lose confidence, but it will come soon enough

If the only goal is to make it to the NCAAs, not yet time to worry. If the goal is to have a great team like we had last year...then yes, time to worry. SBU had 10 losses for the entire regular season last year. We already have 8. Once you date a supermodel (no, can't say that I have), then having even a pretty girlfriend afterwards can be disappointing. Once you are one of the top college baseball teams in the country, then settling for winning one of the weakest conferences is also not quite the same....but it's probably all we can hope for during a "rebuilding" year.

I think the goal is to win the conference regular season, win the AE tourney, get to the NCAA and shoot for a regional championship which would be a superb rebuilding season. I don't expect this team to go to past the Super Regional with the amount of talent lost last year. Before the season I did but most likely out of ignorance or fan bias. But after realizing that we lost a ton of talent and that Coach wouldn't have enough time to take advantage of that magical run for recruiting purposes you start to realize that it is unfair to expect so much out of a young team.

I also think we can't be too judgmental of a team that is playing a tough schedule and has been all around the South without having played a single game at home. Its tough to build confidence when your are flying out 1000+ miles away playing ball. Its also tough when you have to play talented teams early in the season like a #1 UNC. Its just too early to hit the panic button.

The chances of getting an at-large in this conference on any given year are quite small so our path is the same. Win the AE and make it to the NCAA. Remember, last year's team went all the way to the World Series and their RPI was in the 60s not good enough to receive an at-large even after beating Miami, LSU, UCF, and Missou St....

The team dropped another and now sit at 0-9. The rest of the AE must be thinking that the conference is now wide open and SBU no longer has a lock on NCAA bid; I think they're right. The only good news to come out of the season so far is that the freshmen have been performing better than the upperclassmen. This bodes well for the future.

Home opener Against Iona up next. We'll find out on Wednesday whether this time has the talent to make it deep in this conference this year.

Looks like we will get our first victory. Leading 5-1 vs Iona in the eight inning. Time to bounce back. Our guys are back home!!!

We can get  a few wins against Fordham this   weekend  and be in good shape.

What's a Seawolf?!

Don't jump off the ledge just yet guys! The teams down south are in better playing shape early in the year. As the weather warms up back home, the Seawolves will play closer to form. Regardless, this is a massive rebuild this year. The bullpen has been really shaky and the offense needs to get it going. It's not like SBU lost ALL of its talent- Goldstein, Krause, and Peragine were very good last year too.

Here's a quick summary of the first ten games of the season (http://tinyurl.com/bsxfb8u)

Good write up......thanks. But for comparison purposes, they didn't lose 15 games last season. They lost only 10 (don't count the playoffs). If they lose just one more game for the rest of the regular season they'll be on track! I'm being facetious of course. I think if they just make it to the NCAAs this year it will be a success (Binghamton is looking pretty good this year). Next year we can hope for more again.

Our Seawolves made it two in row today defeatng  fordham 3-2.   Watched the game on Gametracker and we have  very young but talented team. Coach had 1 senior and 1 junior in the line up today everyone else is are frosh or sophomores. They  will be a force  in the future.
