This seems like a no-brainer to me for FACDE.

Yale scored in every inning.

At Yale today, who's not as strong as they've been in recent years. We currently sit at 15-18 with 17 games left in the regular season. Finishing at above .500 for the regular season would be a major accomplishment. It's not something that happens often as losses typically pile up during the OOC when playing teams down south and out west. FHCGD, for instance, only had three seasons above .500. FHCGD ?? Former Head Coach Greg DiVincenso ? You’re almost there.

I just watched the opening to game two yesterday. The broadcasters mentioned it would be a seven inning game that was determined prior to first pitch. No reason was given. The second game started at 2:35pm which wasn't even that late to worry about lighting... Doubleday has lights, so start time wouldn’t matter.

No Thomas Skrobe against Army, either.
He impressed me earlier in the season against Kansas State.
Would he not have been a better "opener" than Nesson?

Interesting, if true. Arkansas is a big time program, but not the same level as Kentucky. Seems like moving down the food chain it is moving down the food chain. However, Calipari was on a very hot seat, and might well been fired after next season. Now he locks up a new long-term contract. And he is going to a place where the fans will worship him, as opposed to Kentucky, were most of the fans wanted him fired. I am sure the Kentucky A.D. is ecstatic about this move. A true win-win for both sides.

The trickle down is always interesting --
SMU leaves the AAC to join the ACC.
SMU cans Rob Lanier and hires Andy Enfield.
USC hires Eric Musselman.
Arkansas hires John Calipari.
Kentucky hires...?
Given how big a job Kentucky is, the domino effect will continue a while here.

Army has plated five runs in the bottom of the first without recording an out.
Lot of baseball left, but looking like we’re coming up short here. If so, still mission accomplished taking two of four.
Why did Nesson, who got lit up on Friday by Army, start?

Phreek, the games were at WP and it wasn’t raining at any time during the games. Shortened games also helps with the pitching staff depth for tmro After the game was called at seven innings, and seeing the dreary weather on the broadcast, and then reading the posts on Crossports, I checked the National Weather Service radar for NYC (the radar site is in Suffolk County). The radar showed rain showers near Poughkeepsie, and moving southward. .Not saying that was the reason the game was called at seven innings, only suggesting that might have been a factor. Is today's game scheduled for nine innings or seven? Weather should be great. I highly doubt this would be the case. Never heard of a hand being shortened after it’s already started due to impending weather. Seven inning games are managed very differently than nine inning games. Deciding mid game to eliminate the final two innings wouldn’t happen. Now, it could be possible before the game that the umpires met with the teams and collectively decided to play a seven inning game.

Where’s 137 when you need him?
Need to know why game two was seven innings.

Lost 9-7. Seemed to lose focus in second half. No moral victories but based on what we knew about Lehigh going in, not a horrible loss. You play to win the game Interesting.

When was the last time we swept a doubleheader against Army? Certain been some time. Looked it up. Last time we took a doubleheader against Army was 2019. Last time we did it at West Point was 2017.

At Lehigh tomorrow, who are coming off matching 12-10 losses to Princeton and Loyola.
This looks like another game where we are doubled up.

You mean you can't wait to see a couple .500 teams who have little interest in playing basketball given that they missed out on the NCAA Tournament play in a meaningless post-season tournament?
