The Maine LLWS team has looked better than have the Sox during the dumpster-fire that was this past week.
Oh well, last year was a nearly-perfect season, and I really don't see anyone getting past Houston in the AL, anyway. The Astros have pitching coming out of their ears, to put it politely.
OOOPS.......and how does that seem to be working out for ya!
Yes the Astros have a pitching Staff in place that will be a hard play...but HOW IN THE HECK do the Yankees keep plugging along...I mean there starting Staff is nothing to write home about...but if they can get 5 strong innings then their Bullpen is hard to beat...plus it seems everyone on the team is hurt or gets hurt but they just put someone in the lineup and they don't miss a beat...they play as a together team...they have the magic. Come Playoff time we shall see if it's their season....and this is from a NON Yankee or Red Sox fan...
You hit the nail, IMO.
NY starters aren't lights-out, but the 'pen is miles deep, and those bastids score runs.
I'm OK with the Sox falling by the wayside this year (last season was absolutely awesome, why be greedy?), but I'll eat my tennis shorts on Main St. before I say anything nice about the Yank-me's.
Houston should have won it all last year, and I expect them get it right this year. Absolutely loaded with great pitching.
New volunteer assist coach. Sounds to have some good experience. Cant hurt.
Sounds like he is overqualified for the job. Imagine he will be a good working with defensemen.
I see the roster is posted. Dont know when it came out.
29 including goalies and 10? incoming "freshmen".

I personally don't think Greenway should be listed as a freshman
Did not see it on goblackbears.com?
I don't think he will be....
He is, the roster is on goblackbears.com
I'll take your word for it as I tried a couple times and still just get the 2018-19 roster...but I think your right that Greenway should not be listed as a Freshman. Someone maybe able to explain why, but didn't he actually play some for Wisconsin..?
There's a drop-down in the upper right-hand corner where you can toggle up to see the 2019-20 roster.
As far as Greenway being a Frosh, there are other mistakes like Sirota listed as an F.

Yes, he is a junior. He has two seasons left. I’m hoping he has an impact right away... and I expect he will. I am not expecting any of the freshman to have a huge impact on scoring. But I expect team defense to be solid.... despite all of the new faces. My guess is Maine is middle of conference again. With goaltending a strength.
My thoughts as well. Hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised, but hard to see any of the incoming freshmen put up huge numbers. Honestly there are three or four returnees who I have no clue why they are still on the team.
Does anyone know what the deal is with Adam Dawe? He has a lot of talent but it’s hard for me to see him staying healthy.
thanks
Dawe is a GAMER who plays the game hard...staying healthy is one question, but from what I see of him it is not how he plays the game...just the CHEAP SHOTS that he took last season...un-called for, but as they say its in the game and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. BUT healthy he is huge for this team...plays hard each and every shift. Glad he's on Maine. A true plus to the lineup (imo). My big concerns are the defense, and on offense...can they get two lines to score..? Goaltending will be a plus...as long as they can keep Swayman from seeing 35-40 shots per night.
He’s a spark plug, but took a couple terrible head shots. Hopefully that doesn’t happen this season. I loved his play prior to injury. I expect JSS to have a bigger impact this season also, And I have been waiting for Tralmaks to become more dominant. Westerlund and Smith are both capable of more. There is a lot of talent on the forward lines that haven’t really put it all together yet.
I thought the third line of Smith-Shea-Westerlund looked pretty good most of the time last season, they have good chemistry and were a net positive to the team as a third line in my view. I expect Schmitty to have a breakout season this year. The biggest question mark for the team in my opinion is how will Pearson be replaced, and who is playing 1C? None of the freshman inspire confidence in me to take that spot, so I am curious what they will do.
