The starting pitcher had trouble finding the strike zone, but the relievers did great. Maine's shortstop helped us out quite a bit. The poor kid couldn't find the handle on several easy grounders. Kudos to the Diamond Dawgs!

Dawgs win 4-2. Another game today, one tomorrow.

Glad baseball has started. I don't think this will be a particularly stellar year for the Diamond Dawgs, too many everyday players had to be replaced from last year's squad. But, for now, baseball is a welcomed distraction from our lousy hoops' teams.

Why aren’t the games being broadcast on local radio?

Dawgs win again, 4-0. Now 3-0. Get out the brooms and get the sweep tomorrow. Someone post the score tomorrow, I'll be on the road all day. Thanks.

WBB takes precedence. The "sport" that brings in the BIG bucks. We need to get some men who identify as women on that team.

First observation....Colton Coats needs to be our starting 1st baseman.

Evidently Fouts hasn’t helped some of our pitchers since last year. No surprise really. He’s not a legit pitching coach. Here’s an idea… after Harland comes in to get the team out of a bad inning however many runs are given up, don’t start him the next inning. Everyone should know after all these years that he’s a 4-5 batter guy. Any more than that is nothing but trouble. On the positive side, the Dawgs persevered to get a sweep. Congratulations! There are the makings of a decent team in the dugout if Burroughs can figure it out and not play favorites like he does too often.

I actually thought except for three innings Sunday the pitching this weekend was very solid and I saw every game in person except for the Sunday game

We don't have a Bates or Broderson on the back end, but those two are rare finds

Hawsey was in over his head at first and Mexico is challenged defensively

But honestly a good opening weekend against a team that is one year removed from a Regional (this wasn't a Northern Colorado)

It was on 97.7 Friday & Sunday and 99.3 on Saturday and also available on the Red Peach App - there will be some conflicts until basketball season is over

Our pitching always looks decent at the beginning of the year. It takes a little time for the opposition to get a read on them. No reason to believe our "assistant HC" suddenly learned how to develop a pitching staff.
