The Podcast About Division III Baseball


Apr 23, 2019

Welcome to Episode 39 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. It's almost May, which means IT IS ABOUT TO GET REAL. Here's what this episode includes:

  • Top 25 rundown (at 3:20)
    • Giving our brief thoughts on every team in the latest Top 25 and how the rankings have shifted over the last few weeks. Including:
      • A lacrosse team ended Concordia-Chicago's win streak, yikes
      • Jordan saw Rowan and TCNJ in person and they are both very good
      • The good and the bad of the Denison Big Red
      • Is 28-2 Coe for real?
      • Whitewater should be higher, come on people
      • So many Panthers (Chapman, LaGrange, Birmingham-Southern)
      • Swathmore drops out, big week coming up against Johns Hopkins
      • ...and more!
  • Predicting the top teams (at 16:44) in each region for the first regional rankings (to be released here on Wednesday afternoon). Topics include:
    • Who will be #2 in the Central?
    • Trying to clear up the top of the loaded South and New England regions
    • The relatively disappointing Mideast Region 
    • Why Cortland is still clearly #1 in New York despite a frustrating season thus far
    • Why is the West so down compared to last year?
    • ...and more!
  • Biasball (at 26:40)
    • WashU staying hot with a sweep of Emory and a UAA title and the 500th career win for head coach Pat Bloom
    • Wooster has been up (16-0 win + no-hitter) and down (allowing 21 runs at home to a regional rival) lately but have some big games to redeem themselves soon

...then we say goodbye. Thanks for listening!
