I was just about to post, thanks

Liberty
Should college baseball fans get used to the fact Liberty could be Coastal Carolina II? OK, it’s a little too early to be anointing the Flames the next Chanticleers. But there are some parallels between Liberty of now and the Coastal Carolina of several years ago. LU coach Jim Toman has made some impressive strides the past few seasons. Two seasons ago, the Flames compiled a 33-21 record. But last season, the Flames took an even bigger step forward with a 42-19 record. They were in the mix for an NCAA postseason appearance before losing some key games that hurt their RPI down the stretch. LU needs to do a better job of winning big games. But with Toman in charge, this is a program primed to do something special.

Pretty high praise there. Hoping we do take that proverbial next step this season!

Did anybody get to see any of the inter-squad scrimmages this year? Does it look like the team has improved this year or just about the same? Anybody stand out in the fall? Watched Toman's video and he really didn't say much about anybody except the catcher.

Watched a few innings but it is very hard to tell. Linza looked like he had regained some of his beginning of the year velocity and Forslund can absolutely bring it - there is the potential to have a very solid weekend rotation if they all come through. No question the change in bats in college baseball will bring a huge change to the game - I was shocked at the difference in sound and how the ball travels - there will be very few cheap home runs hit going forward.
