Back to the drawing board for Newbury College

I don't really know where to start, except to refer you to the boxscore of today's NCAA Division III baseball game:

You only cover us when we lose by 56 runs!!!

 

Well-played.

 

Dammit, I left Steve Smith on my fantasy bench!

 

MM, that bottom sig almost made me tear up right here at the desk.

 

But they tried really, really hard.

 

Cuteness: the ultimate in passive-agressive weapons. Particularly when mixed with internet geek speak.

 

At what point did Newbury pitchers No. 2 and 3 begin taking long, agonized glances at the bench between pitches?

 

The 13-run first really set the tone for the rest of the game...

 

Seriously, what on earth do you do? You don't want to wear the pitcher's arm out or have him be beaten into a Solomon Torres-esque mental case, but you can't burn everyone else out on a game they can't win, when you've still got other games left in the season (and the week, probably).

Scary thought: Bridgewater State went in at 7-6. It wasn't like they were playing Florida State.

 

I sincerely hope Newbury's coach took all the players out to Pizza Hut afterwards...

 

Yeah, that hit me right away. Just how bad IS this other team?

Newbury lost its first two games in a Friday doubleheader to Maine-Presque Isle ... 5-1 and 5-3.
