We made our first bus trip of the year last night down to Long Island. We open our season today when we play Old Westbury at Baseball Heaven. It is going to be chilly - high of 35 degrees. But at least we will be playing a game.
We played Old Westbury last year and we won two close games.
Our season preview ran in the Press-Republican today, with another preview in the Cardinal Points.

Chomping at the bit!
After three weeks inside, our players are ready to see what they can do. Especially when they see other SUNYAC teams (Cortland, Oswego) playing games already. I know that our hitters are ready to face some different pitchers.
We were able to listen to a presentation from John Underwood from the American Athletic Institute last eventing. He gave our players a lot of information about the physiological effects of drug and alcohol use. It was the second time I have seen Mr. Underwood and I thought this time I learned more. I know some of our players enjoyed it, I just hope they take something from it.

Inside Practice
We just completed our second week of practice in the spacious Field House Basketball Arena! We do our best to keep the players working on different aspects of their games.
Our pitchers started throwing to hitters last week and seemed to be throwing the ball well. Our hitters are looking good as well. We really like the new additions to the lineup.
It is hard to know that there are teams already playing around the country. Cortland will be the first team in the conference to play this coming weekend.
Our players are staying active in the community service realm as well. We have had players at the local health center volunteering for Go Red for Women events.

First Week
The first week of Cardinal Baseball went really well. Practice is limited in the gym but from the looks of things, the off season workouts and preparation by all members of the team is paying off. The team is also happy to include many new additions to the roster. A great recruiting year will definitely help the Cardinals in winning a sunyac title. We are looking forward to seeing how this team continues growing together.

Cards staying busy
The past two weeks have been busy weeks for our players - on and off the field. We participated in the Battle of Plattsburgh Parade and Bed Race on September 11. This past Sunday our players took part in the North Country Down Syndrome Association Buddy Walk. Most of the student-athletes at the college participate in this event.
On the field we have played five intra-squad games over the past two weekends in preparation of our play date this Sunday with Clinton Community College and St. Michael's College.
Saturday is also one of my favorite days - Alumni Day! Numerous alumni come back and play in an informal game and reminisce about the 'old days'!

Cards begin community service efforts
The SUNY Plattsburgh baseball team began doing community service Sunday morning with a hike to the top of Mt. Pok-O-Moonshine. 32 players and 2 coaches, including Coach Doorey, made the trek to the top of the mountain in support of "Peaks for Pets". The team raised over $100 for the cause. Here is a link to the program if you are interested: http://www.peaksforpets.org/.

2010-11 Season Underway
Head baseball coach Kris Doorey began the 2010-11 baseball season with the Cardinals first practice yesterday. The Cardinals welcomed back 22 returners from the 2010 season, and six recruits.
The Cardinals will practice 15 times over the next five weeks and play one day of games later this September.
The 2011 baseball schedule looks has some very successful opponents. Cortland, which finished second in the nation; and, Heidelberg, which reached the College World Series.
