Episode 37: We're Just Excited to Get Outside

Welcome to Episode 37 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. After completing our eight regional previews, this is our first podcast of the 2019 regular season, as 90% of D-III teams have started their seasons and we finally have some results to discuss! Our show this week is broken into a few segments, as follows: Top 25 chat (at 1:30) Checking in on the dropouts: Misericordia, Babson, Oswego State Welcoming the newcomers: Methodist, Birmingham-Southern, Wheaton (Mass.) Piedmont is extremely fun and also really good (at 6:30) Rapid fire DO YOU BELIEVE IN THEM? with a few teams off to hot starts (at 10:00) Concordia (Texas) Huntingdon Johns Hopkins Washington College Kean Concordia-Chicago Notable individual performers so far (at 23:12) Matt Steindorf and Connor Bailey at Willamette We Are Just Excited To Get Outside (24:50) Discussing the extremely understandable but also hilarious nature of being excited to play baseball outside Wooster + WashU update (they're our schools which means we get to talk about them more, sorry!) The Scots are only a few games in but Jordan is still optimistic and excited about the rest of Wooster's Florida trip (at 30:40) Jake is hyped about DA BEARS after their hot start despite their hideous 7-2-1 record (ties are just so ugly) and freshman shortstop Caleb Durbin looks like the real deal (at 32:18) ...then we say goodbye.
