---The Commies will get ya every time!!!!

The government pretends to pay workers, while the workers pretend to work. What could go wrong?

Brenn Conrad also tore the cover off of the ball in the fall. None of the pitchers could fool him.

It's an old Soviet Union joke.

Some might hack the Government? At least those with their own home servers!

I and others (Robe) are less concerned with BA than OB% and Slugging %. Sensley destroyed baseballs in Alaska with maple bats. Hoping the swing holes are now smaller and aluminum will respond, also. Not going too far out on the limb saying Handsome Monica (1.102 OPS last year) will destroy baseballs.

Sensley hit .308 in 38 games overall, led the Alaska league in home runs (6) and slugging percentage (.531), and tied for first in extra base hits (16). He was second in the league in RBIs (27) and (OPS) on-base-slugging percentage (.915). He also stole seven bases.

Last year we had one player with OPS % over .900, Kyle Clement. OB% + SLG % = OPS. If those two can hit over .900 OPS in the middle of the order, spring and summer could be very sweet.

Playing summer ball in Alaska and coming from a JUCO in no way gets you ready for a weekend series with 4000 plus people in the house each game against a quality Div 1 opponent or conference opponent.

Players who were "lights out" in the fall mean nothing as well, See above statement.

Basically this is a TEAM sport and whether you have one guy that's Mr. Super Stats or five guys, you still have to have good pitching, good defense, and TIMELY hitting [See the UCLA team who won the CWS a few years back with a .242 team BA]. Hell, it might have been even lower.

All in all, expectations are high going into this season as well they should be. BUT you have to play all 56 first and then we'll see what's happening.

Of course you can win a championship getting hot in the short run, but far more games and titles won with great stats than mediocre to bad stats.

I bet people enjoy having you at parties. BTW, Sensley hit very well in the regionals. So your patronizing his playing well in Alaska is not relevant at all.

No one is saying we will be the best hitting team ever. People are pumped because the hitting talent we have this year is better than last year. Summer ball and fall ball are indicators of people developing well.

But, go on scolding people for being excited for baseball season.
