Dirtbags Movin' On Up
Long Beach State, who didn't even make the top 25 in Baseball America's preseason poll, is now ranked 19th in college baseball. Go Dirtbags! (And a hat tip to Brian Clevinger, who reminds me that his own alma mater, UC Riverside, is right behind them at #20, the first time since 2003 that the Highlanders have appeared on this list.)
Update: Here's an excerpt from the Aaron Fitt chat:
Q: Jacob from California asks: What is your take on the Dirtbags? Playing a tough schedule and getting some good experience for the young ones.A: Aaron Fitt: The contrast between Long Beach and UCLA is rather striking. Both have rather young teams dominated by sophomores and freshmen, and both have played tough schedules, but the Dirtbags are 4-3 against the top 25 and UCLA is 3-6 against the top 25. I didn't think there was any way LBSU would be 8-4 at this point in the season against that challenging schedule. Terrific, terrific coaching job by Mike Weathers and his staff so far.
