OkieBilliken Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Here in very chilly Hoover, AL to watch the Bills open the season against Sun Belt’s Marshall. SLU is picked anywhere from 3rd to 5th in the A10, just depends on how the new pitching performs. Marshall was terrible last year and picked 13th out of 14th in a very good conference. After this series SLU heads down to Fort Myers to play Univ of Minnesota at the Twins spring park. Weather should be much more enjoyable for me next weekend. I’m about 5 hours from each location. Go Bills!!! majerus mojo, Box and Won and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Well we were pretty terrible yesterday. Houston transfer Dawson Smith started and got drilled and Grant Fremion walked everybody. We made a couple of ghastly errors. It was over early and we lost 11-4. Trying to find out why our best hitter Cam Redding didn’t play yesterday or today. If he is injured or not available, it is going to be a long year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Okay here in beautiful Fort Myers at the Twins complex to see SLU (0-3) play UMinnesota (0-4). Apparently our best hitter Cam Redding is out a couple of months with a wrist injury. We really need him in the offense. GO BILLS!!!

Good news about being a one bid league, you don't have the pressure of performing in the non-con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Bills fell behind 2-0 in the first but just put up 2 to tie here in the fourth. Moore and Preston have RBI singles. DirtyRican likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkieBilliken Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Bills close out win 6-3. First W of the year. jUCO transfer Henry Litman was money out of the bullpen. Really nice bounce back from a terrible first weekend. Bay Area Billiken and brianstl like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkieBilliken Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 SLU wins 8-3 to take the series. Another excellent pitching day. As bad as last week was, this team was a hell of a lot of fun so far this week. Go see them play when they get home! I will be watching on ESPN+. Now going to watch the Twins and Rays play next door.
