• Every conference has a Seton Hall: the consistent top-half finisher waiting for its turn to break out and serve time as the leader of the pack. Under Head coach Rob Sheppard, son of current Head coach Emeritus Mike Sheppard, the Pirates have reached the Big East tournament six years in a row while maintaining a record of .500 or more in each of those years. No surprise then that they are expected to do just that in 2017.
Jr. Shane McCarthy (6-4, 2.38) has had an impressive run in his first two seasons as a Pirate. The righthander, who has lead the Big East in ERA two consecutive years, looks to turn in yet another dominate stat line and lead the Pirates to the top of the conference. He will be accompanied atop the rotation by So. Cullen Dana (7-2, 2,75), a 6-foot-5 southpaw with loads of upside. Should these two perform similar to how they did in 2016, the Pirates will have a solid chance of making a run come tournament time in May. Their experienced bullpen and solid defense will only further guide them toward a regional appearance. Any challenges in reaching regionals will lie in replacing the top half of the lineup.
The Pirates lose their 1-2-3 batters in Derek Jenkins, Zach Weigel and Chris Chiaradio. This trio accounted for over 100 stolen bases in 2016 and as such will be difficult to replace. Nonetheless, speed will remain a strength of this ball club. Sheppard has the pleasure of returning three double-digit base stealers in Mike Alescio (.310/.367/.418), Ryan Ramiz and Joe Poduslenko, as well as Sr. outfielder Jackson Martin who recorded 6 steals with very limited action in 2016.

The NJ accents are going to be interesting.

A few tips below.....

How to say water

How to say coffee

People from any other state will pronounce it, “Cohfee.”

How to say talk

People from any other state will pronounce it, “talk.”

How to use the letter A in a sentence
People from Jersey will pronounce it with a hard “ah” sound. Ex: Gary turns into “Gah-ree” or Aaron turns into “Ah-rin” .
People from any other state will pronounce it with a hard “air” sound. Ex: Gary turns into “Gair-ey” or Aaron turns into “Air-rin."

How to say Drawer
People from Jersey will pronounce it, “draw.” Yes, like we are drawing a picture.

How people feel about gas
People from Jersey will say, “You guys don’t have people for that?”
People from any other state will say, “You’re joking,” and will probably want to slap you across the face.

They stole 184 bases last season, we had a few over 90 for the sake of comparison...

Their 2nd baseman, Caputo, had a great 4 game series against Michigan batting .533

Great write-up, as usual. Thanks OT.
