billikenfan05 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 13 players have signed to play summer ball including the famous Cape Cod league http://www.slubillikens.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=27200&ATCLID=211718577 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon-Balls Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Local TV gets more viewership from the older crowd, who are more likely to follow SLU, and the PD gets more clicks from younger Mizzery affiliated folks. SLU just doesn't have a large enough swath of younger fans in the region to garner much attention from the local paper, which at this point can only support itself with online readership and clicks.

cgeldmacher Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I think Fox Sports One is doing a summer long documentary style show about the Cape Cod league. Might be able to catch those guys on that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two are playing in the NECBL which I usually go to at least one game--I will try to make it to the Vermont Mountaineers v. Nighthawks game or maybe to a Mountaineers home game.

JMM28 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Norwood had been dominant at AA this year in relief. He only pitched a handful of games at AAA. The Cubs had to add him to the 40 man roster to bring him up. He has a chance to stick around if he can pitch well. The Cubs have a few spots at the back end of the bullpen that have been a constantly rotating AAA shuttle position. Plus the Cubs tend to carry 13 pitchers so there is always an extra spot.

slufanskip Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This is why we say it's hard being a Billiken fan. We get our 1st major league player in 40+ years and he has to be a cub. It can't possibly be any tougher to root for him DirtyRican and Brighton like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyRican Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 To get a Billiken baseball player to the bigs is huge for the program and the university! I hope the administration wakes up soon and starts investing in baseball or this type of exciting stuff may be short lived. The Cubs used 7 pitchers yesterday so hopefully he will see some action Tuesday night. slufanskip, JMM28, TheDude and 2 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyRican Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Speaking of Billikens and MLB, Max Muncy's brother Derek played for SLU from 2000-2003. Max played at Baylor and is having a great first half for the Dodgers. Go out and vote for him for the final All-Star vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t sure if you were referring to Ream or Reed in your original post so I took a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Norwood survived the return of Brian Duensing from the DL. He’s got at least a few games more to prove himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
