If I'm not mistaken I believe Kyler Arenado is a younger sibling of the Rockies' third baseman.

Good to have you aboard. You probably already guessed we don't have a lot of contributors on this particular board.

Spoken (or written) like a scout or a pitching coach ! The average fan like me just looks silly talking about mound presence.

I'm glad to hear Sasaki is getting his chance. I read he perhaps recruited UCD more than it recruited him. I like these stories about student athletes who really want to come to Davis, and that are not just about recruiting wars.

Any other new standouts so far ?

He should get More playing time AND Less playing time !

The 2nd one almost looks like cardboard lol

Cal Poly has a lot of engineering students. They've probably had some crazy Dilbert and Dogbert adventures with them.

I went way off the board with my choice. It's going to be a neutral baseball game at Santa Clara. The Aggies do not visit the Broncos this year, but Boston College and Wake Forest do. Followed by a summer trip back east this year lol. I'll keep the suggestions in mind for next year. Thanks !

Lol. Applesauce Gym. Other people make bad puns on here. It's not just me.

Provided there's no tampering from Russia

The Aggies bye week (5/18- 5/20) opponent is New Mexico in Albuquerque per UNM website.

The baseball and softball fields are very close at SAC State, only separated by a parking garage and a narrow road.

Pretty much all of the athletic facilities there are old and outdated. Some were built in the 50's when there were a lot fewer students and the school was moved from it's previous location (The present- day SAC City College campus). The student population ballooned, but athletics support didn't on account of it being a commuter campus. No matter how well they do the only sport where the crowd threatens to overflow the venue is Men's basketball. However, it's also a 1200 seat facility. You build a 3000 seat arena (like the one the students refused to fund) and you'll have at least 1700 empty seats per game.

They really don't have room to expand. If they want to build a basketball arena they have to tear down the whole gym complex and get rid of their pool + connecting coaches offices. Baseball and softball can't expand their stadiums because they're flush up against the street and other important structures. Soccer could put in some permanent seating.

To be fair they've made a real effort to improve the fan experience at baseball games (haven't been to softball since 2005). My first year of grad school baseball and softball just had temporary bleachers. Over the summer after it they built the current structures with largely volunteer labor. "The John"is still a great place to watch a game,especially now that it has lights. Day games in April/May are often miserably hot on account of the raised metal bleachers that sit well above field level. Also the wheelchair ramp seems kind of shaky to me.

They have a decent snack stand (better hot dogs and chips than at Dobbins), but the staff is pretty disorganized and often you can't buy anything until the 2nd inning or so. Sac City College has a better baseball stadium though. The gallery below the stands where you can watch the game from the level of the catcher is pretty neat

Those creaky old steps and bleachers are the reason I haven't attended a SAC State football game in almost 3 years now. In 1997 or 98 somebody actually fell through the steps and died at The Causeway Classic. The students get the good seats that don't require scaling the scary staircase. Still I have trouble understanding how the home stands stay up, let alone support an elevator and a press box. The visitors stands are less scary, but the visibility is poor. After 2002 or 2003 I said no more Causeway Classics at SAC State. People were blocking my view constantly.

I was talking about SAC State since BaseballatDobbins mentioned their facilities

You know- I must have never used the restrooms at LaRue Field during any of the games I attended as a student because it never occurred to me they had port- a- potties. Even before the Dobbins gift baseball still had trailers with running water, which were still superior to what Sac State has now.

Sac really has a limit on how much it can upgrade it's facilities even with unlimited donor support. There's no room to put in permanent restrooms for softball unless they take out the tennis courts. Similar for baseball- they'd have to take out part of the field where athletes practice (mainly football).

Whoops! Missed one.. SJSU visits 4/3. No return trip to SJ. Another nugget. Santa Clara visits 3/13. There is no corresponding road game.

Kind of an interesting place, named after j Lawrence Walk up (never thought of that as a last name. It's located on S. San Francisco St. Flagstaff gets some snow; that might be the reason for the dome.

At least they didn't lose. :D

Thanks, I updated it ! Now I'll look into non- conference opponents.
