OkieBilliken Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 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!!! brianstl, majerus mojo and Box and Won 3 Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 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
OkieBilliken Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 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!!! Box and Won 1 Quote

OkieBilliken Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 Bills tack on one more in the T8. Can the bullpen hold for our first win. Fingers crossed! Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 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 2 Quote
OkieBilliken Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 A broiling 92 degrees. Quite a switch from Birmingham last weekend Quote
DirtyRican Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 Just found out Cam got hit by a pitch in the last scrimmage They played and broke his hand. Out six weeks. Really sucks. Quote

OkieBilliken Posted February 25, 2023 Author Posted February 25, 2023 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.
