Not saying I'm right but........ considering 16 of our 34 players (35 players on the roster but Carroll is out for the season) are new is it possible Berry is scheduling a soft schedule to start the season so the guy's confidence/mojo isn't shot before we begin conference play? Granted we don't know the remaining 3 OOC weekend series just yet but the one we do know isn't promising for helping our RPI (McNeese is usually around/in top 100 but Valpo is 200+ range the last couple years)
Soft schedule and plastic dirt?

RE: 2019-20 offseason baseball discussion
Considering CUSA didn't schedule us for back to back road or home weekends last year we can probably go with our missing series being as the bolded games below:. But considering this is CUSA we're talking about the La Tech and UAB series might be reversed
March 13-15: FIU
March 20-22: at Marshall (per BeagleUSM spreadsheet)
March 24: at Alabama
March 25: Southern
March 27-29: host MTSU
March 31: Ole Miss (played in Pearl, MS)
April 3-5: at FAU (per BeagleUSM spreadsheet)
April 9-11: UTSA (series Thursday-Saturday due to Easter Sunday)
April 17-19: at Charlotte
April 24-26: Rice
May 1-3: at ODU
May 8-10: La Tech (we went to La Tech last year)
May 14-16: at UAB (we hosted UAB last year)
May 20-24: CUSA tournament (Biloxi, MS)

Yeah, I was trying to reverse engineer our schedule last night. Those FAU and Marshall dates aren’t for sure.

RE: 2019-20 offseason baseball discussion
Anyone else just look at that, especially the out of conference, and see very clearly why we aren’t recruiting top talent anymore? You don’t play jack and players don’t want to play for you. Our conference is already incredibly weak, so why make your schedule even weaker.
Gonna go to another SEC school and get blown away by 94 MPH pitches because we haven’t played against anyone like it all year.

and based off the eaglepost post, the first 2 bolded aren't listed as home games so we know that it will be road games

fwiw, a LT fan reverse engineered the entire league slate on their board. So that gets you to 53 games and a schedule that's nearly complete. Berry said on the radio Tuesday that they're close to releasing.

Considering we usually play UNO and South Alabama home/away, the road games with them are still missing which would get us to 55. Possibly a return trip to SE La or ULM for #56? There's no midweek games March 17-18, April 7th, and April 28-29 so a good possibility those will be on those dates. May 4th-May 7th is final exam week so shouldn't be games that midweek.

Looked at that on his "2nd attempt" and he has many flaws as several teams have 6 home CUSA series with only 4 road series while others are reversed with 4 home and 6 road series.

RE: 2019-20 offseason baseball discussion
Couple of tidbits from sun herald article. Weekend pitching lineup appears to be Shepard on Friday, Powell on Saturday with Sunday possibly being true freshman lefty Chandler Best or senior lefty Josh Lewis. No surprise that Hunter Stanley will begin the season as the closer. As mentioned way earlier Cody Carroll is out for the season as is redshirt freshman Tyler Stuart due to Tommy John surgery.
Batting/fielding wise here’s the lineup we went with at Alabama:
Montenegro - CF
Guidry - 2B
Lynch - 3B
McGillis - 1B
Fisher Norris - RF
Charlie Fischer - LF
Austen Izzio - DH
Brian Davis - C
Dustin Dickerson - SS
Unless they’ve added some avg and power over the summer Lynch and McGillis could be our weakest power hitters in the 3/4 spots in a long LONG time. Just over 3 months and 11 days until the season starts.

Is that meant to a sarcastic statement on the state of our baseball program or are you being serious? I honestly can’t tell.

RE: 2019-20 offseason baseball discussion
South Alabama released their schedule and we go there on May 12 to go along with the home game we already knew on April 21. This gets us to 54 games. With that being said I feel like we'll surely have midweek road games on Tuesday April 7 as well as March 17 or 18 as there's no midweek those 2 weeks which we rarely do. April 8th is out due to the UTSA series starting on a Thursday with Easter being on that Sunday.

RE: 2019-20 offseason baseball discussion
Nothing new but saw the whole schedule for the McNeese tournament and schedules are conflicting
From McNeese St website:
https://mcneesesports.com/sports/baseball/schedule/2020
Friday - McNeese St vs Valpo
Saturday - McNeese St vs USM
Sunday - McNeese St vs Valpo, McNeese St vs USM
From Valpo website:
http://www.valpoathletics.com/baseball/schedule/
Friday: Valpo vs McNeese St
Saturday: Valpo vs USM (listed twice so appears a DH?)
Sunday: Valpo vs McNeese St
Something isn't adding up as neither has us playing them on Friday yet it's appearing like a triple header on Saturday which we know isn't happening

Friday - McNeese State vs Valpo
Saturday - Valpo vs USM, then McNeese State vs USM
Sunday - Valpo vs McNeese State, then McNeese State vs USM
I could be wrong about Saturday, but I seriously doubt the team from Indiana plays the late game on Sunday. If I had to guess, the hosts would rather play us than Valpo for the late games so as to maximize attendance.
Given how busy I-10 and I-12 is, that’s going to be a long bus trip for our guys.
