I watched most of this game and the Ags were on a hitting rampage. They scored 22 runs on 20 hits to push their record to 7-2 on the year.

Great start to the season!

This team really is fun to watch. Tommy Nicholson may prove to be an incredible hire. He has gotten some studs.

The Ags dropped a double header to Utah Valley today 9-6 and 4-3 after romping over them 22-7 yesterday.

Aggie swept UCR. Love a good 4 game sweep.

me too! fun season so far. the bats have been pretty damn good.

11 - 8, 3 - 1 in conference.

I'm only cautiously optimistic, as UCR is usually a bottom-feeder in the Big West. Still, they do need to beat these kinds of teams if they don't want to be bottom-feeders themselves. A good start. However, Hawaii is usually a buzzkill for their season.

It's a great sign of the depth on the team that Mark Wolbert is coming off the bench recently. He was a huge deal as a freshman, earning pro prospect talk but he's losing outfield time to Braydon Wooldridge, who prior to this season hit more like Wolbert is doing now ( .225 with only 3 extra-base hits.) Now Wooldridge may get drafted instead. If Wolbert doesn't start hitting like his old self soon he's going to be lucky to get a contract with the Yuba-Sutter High Wheelers at season's end. Forget the draft.

Non-conference was a mixed bag. They shouldn't have scheduled a trip to Omaha in March. That was short-sighted on the part of the scheduler. If they wanted to give the players a chance to see an empty CWS stadium they would never visit as players unless they transfer to much better programs, scheduling a tour would've been easier + cheaper. Shame on Creighton too-they should have come to Davis. Visiting Omaha in March- that's just cartoony Gunrock poop.

I still follow how the team is doing, but I don't plan on visiting Dobbins Stadium this season-lights or no lights.

So lights on the soccer field as well?

Yes. If this whole FBS football thing ever materializes, blows up and the university has to cut football, soccer would probably move to Aggie Stadium, making the new soccer lights virtually useless, except maybe for practices. Imagine going from a lack of lights to having too many !!!

Get a grip.

Current grip is just fine. Thank you for your concern.

I'm allowed to speculate about what the future may hold. There are possible outcomes in the future where a move to FBS winds up being a bad idea and the university loses hundreds of millions of dollars, later having to make huge cuts to athletics. I don't want it to happen, but it could. And if football hypothetically gets the axe to stop the bleeding the football stadium would be almost completely. useless. Sinking a huge commitment into football is not always a good idea. Can you honestly tell me that CAL's athletic dept would be worse off now had they simply just demolished their football stadium and cut the program years ago. when it was determined massive renovations were needed? But people can be fanatics about tradition, even to the point of financial irresponsibilty, so there you go.

There's no membership disclosure on this site that states I have to be positive about potential future developments. If you don't like it I'm sure there's a rivetting discussion of sixth-year, third-string punters over on the football board that you will thoroughly enjoy.

It's more likely that some Olympic sports would be trimmed, or football would move back to FCS.

Depends on the size of the debt. If trimming Olympic sports doesn't make a real dent then the more expensive sports would be cut. Also please consider that cuts to Olympic sports would have to be done surgically so as to comply with Title IX.

The Ags went to Hawaii and got swept in 3 games: 7-2, 16-0 and 2-1. Hawaii has an amazing baseball facility and had 4589 fans at the first game, 3981 at game 2 and 3255 at game 3 on Monday.

I totally forgot they played yesterday. Lost in the 13th inning when Carter Delaney balked in the winning run. Otherwise he did a great job-he was in his SIXTH inning of relief. He almost pitched as long as the starting pitcher.

They get today off before facing Nevada. Not much of a rest at all.

I've never followed college baseball very much, but my wife's cousin has a son n the Hawai`i team who transferred back from Fullerton State this year and is now starting at 3rd base. Gotta root for family, but did not want to see them play the Aggies because of my conflicted feelings. The stadium has to be one of the best college stadiums in the country and was built as a tribute to Les Murakami, an excellent manager in the 70s and 80s who took Hawai`i to the finals of the College World Series back in 1978 or so. Baseball is very big out here and Hawai`i has sent a fair share of players to the major league.
