Another step forward appears to be coming in the coming days as VCU and the Richmond Flying Squirrels seem poised to announce further details about their shared ballpark.

https://ballparkdigest.com/2021/12/28/f ... vk3Ji7apCk

And here it is, a request for interest has been sent out for the 70 acre area that VCU's current ballpark sits on. The goal is an $80 million ballpark that would be home to VCU and AA Flying Squirrels. "The goal for a new ballpark is a capacity of 10,000, with approximately 8,000 fixed seats and room for approximately 2,000 standing room patrons. In addition, the new ballpark would feature 20 suites and 500 club seats, with adjacent private club space that would be designed to be able to accommodate additional events like meetings, receptions, parties and other events. And, obviously, the new ballpark would meet current MiLB facility standards." "Proposals are due February 15, 2022 at 3 p.m. ET, leading to another round of evaluations and a final decision on a development team by late spring or summer, but the biggest deadline calls for the opening of a new ballpark by the 2025 MiLB season."

Will be nice to see "the boys of winter" in action this time next month. The southern trips are especially nice as they usually all have solid quality video streams to follow. Am hoping that WRIU carries our home/New England games again this season. I believe last year they couldn't because there was no room to socially distance in the "press box" at Beck. In that regard, does anyone know what the current timetable/funding situation is for the rest of the upgrade project?

[ramster]

URI opens the season Friday Feb 18 with a 3 game series at William & Mary

URI this season plays against 3 teams ranked in the Top 48

3 games at #41 Ranked South Alabama February 25, 26, 27

Trying to synch the timing up with the hoops practice facility?

Nice I was looking for this the other day. A10 site has precious little on baseball. Anyone seen any local write ups about the team?

[KeaneyBluBallz]

Game Day!

[Puck Frovidence]

Game Day!

Ugh, god-shitting-damnit the Colonial uses FloSports...how could I forget? I feel like even smallest of small potatoes leagues at least have ESPN+ now. What D1 school is so hard up they're trying to monetize non-broadcast college baseball coverage? Welp here I go trying to hunt down an... alternative stream before 3. All I can say is URI better be getting a cut of any CAA football money this chincy website makes.

[RF1]

College level baseball may be the only baseball for some time.

[Puck Frovidence]

Shellacked 10-3. Next game tomorrow @ noon.

[Puck Frovidence]

In other news Bryant currently up 7-0 on #12 East Carolinia in the top of the 7th.

[Rhodymob05]

Not a great start.

We will now play 4 games at Auburn (up from 3) as Saturday is now a Double Header

[PeterRamTime]

Not a great start.

W&M was picked to finish 7th in the CAA...

But I feel like we always get killed out of the gate.

[PeterRamTime]

South Alabama beat us 15-2...

Tennessee just beat Iona 27 to 1.........Rhody better figure something out before they go to Knoxville...

[RhowdyRam02]

The games at 2 today and 1 tomorrow are on ESPN+

[Puck Frovidence]

Here's a radio link for the games this weekend if you're out and about.

[Rhodymob05]

Still winless

[KeaneyBluBallz]

this isn't going well

[PeterRamTime]

this isn't going well

With Auburn and Tennessee coming up next it's looking like a 0-13 start

[KeaneyBluBallz]

it's not even like the games are close right now. we're getting pounded.

Except 3-2 yesterday. I mean we always start slow and then rack up a bunch of A-10 wins. But it kinda looks like we definitely suck.

[Rhodymob05]

Rotation gets blown up, then settles. Seems like offense is the biggest question mark so far.

1 game decided by fewer than 5 runs this season so far
holy smokes

Has to be a historically bad start.

Have only given up less than 10 runs 4 times through 13 games, total ERA is 11.4.

6 in a row at home coming up including 3 against Bryant who has lost 8 in a row after sweeping ECU to start the year.

[KeaneyBluBallz]

yikes

[Rhodymob05]

I don’t ever remember them being this bad.

[HobbyBurley]

We went 2-39-1 in 1994 apparently, 1-22 in conference!

That was right after we announced we were dropping baseball then restarted it I believe

[RhowdyRam02]

Our walk off grand slam yesterday was on the ESPN top plays

[steviep123]

Our walk off grand slam yesterday was on the ESPN top plays

was # 3 - there's a video from the @RhodyBaseball twitter account of it, but it's kind of shaky, so this one of the actual grandslam is better:

[KeaneyBluBallz]

such a great backdrop.

[KeaneyBluBallz]

lost the first of a DH today

1-14 on the season

[KeaneyBluBallz]

2-15 with 5 games in the next 6 days starting today.

[Sweep The Leg]

My friend who I went to school with since Kindergarten was on that team.

[Rhodymob05]

Does the manager get the boot?

Does the manager get the boot?

2-17 going into a 3 game set with a 15-4 UConn team.

this could get ugly.
