Baseball fields in New England still look like this one at the University of Rhode Island, but a little further south, there’s a green light for baseball. The college baseball season gets underway today.
I’ll be keeping tabs as we go along here and get closer to the summer. For your first weekend of the baseball season, there’s plenty to watch — I’ll be eager to see how Sean Manaea performs in his first start, which comes tonight at 7 p.m. when his Indiana State team takes on IPFW. If his spring starts like his summer ended, Mr. Manaea will be striking a few people out tonight. Continuing in that vein, we can go ahead and expect Phil Ervin to hit three home runs when Samford takes on Youngstown State, and we’ll see Wareham Gatemen across the country doing magical things.
If you want to watch some college baseball, you’re in luck like you’ve never been before this season, with ESPN set to broadcast 151 games across its various platforms. Here’s the list.
Enjoy.
Caught the first spring training game on mlb.com today (Braves v Tigers). Great to hear some familiar names from the Cape…Todd Cunningham and Joey Terdoslavich from the braves (Joey had a ninth inning homer) and Jeff Kobernus for the tigers.
Ah, baseball- welcome back!
