Travis Osborne and his Bible Verse of the Day :

Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

It’s Baseball ⚾️ Week for our Golden Bears 🐻!!!! But the games are scheduled to be played around the corner from where the Volleyball tournament just took place so it will be interesting for sure.

Yesterday afternoon we swung a little out of our way after the Basketball 🏀 Bonanza and drove up to Capitol Reef National Park

Will create a post 📫 from it here in a bit but will add that because of the bizarre weather here over the weekend ( Way hotter than normal ) it was like we had the National Park to ourselves. People don’t make plans to drive up 10,000 feet on February 1st…..

🙏🙏🙏 for the VDOT crews and guidance for when its safe to get our Kiddos back to School 🏫.

Thank You to those who took the time to read the Kim Weddle story – it was a fun write ✍ about a neat individual !

Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌

West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ puts the Student in the Student Athletes !!!

Well done 👏 Golden Bears 🐻!!

Five quick questions for Skipper Lawrence Nesselrodt as we approach our 18th Opening Day at West Virginia Tech University !

5 solid questions provided by out Conference !

. (#1) Hope Springs Eternal”

– for baseball enthusiasts a new season signifies the end of winter and the hope that spring is near. Our team will continue chasing after a championship that hasn’t been won by a TECH Baseball team since 1947. Since ‘08 we have set a school record three times for most wins in a season (40 in ‘16), played for the championship in ‘17 and reached semi-finals in ‘15, ‘16 and ‘24.

2). We will be lead by the depth of our pitching staff. We return several quality arms from last year’s team and have added some outstanding guys that are going to make an immediate impact. Offensively, we are replacing seven starters and will need to be as scrappy bunch that have to “do the little things well”.

3). Our guys excelled in every aspect during the fall semester. 8 weeks of Fall ball gave us a chance to evaluate the new guys, learn each other on and the field. Our team worked hard in the weight room, along with combined efforts in fundraising and community service activities. Our guys earned an exceptional 2.38 team GPA.

4). The biggest objective of each year is to develop a team culture that exhibits a “Will to Win, a respect for the game and a sense of identity. This year’s group needs to play good defense, pitch well and execute situational hitting. If you do the little things-the big thing will happen!

5). Energy, Enthusiasm & Excitement…

These guys enjoy being around each other and I’m confident that fans are going to see a team that is having fun. We have an outstanding group of coaches who are passionate about the game and are great teachers. Our Goal is to Win Championships along with achieving a 3.0 GPA. That combination of good teachers & students can make great entertainment at the ballpark.

Let’s Play Ball !!!

Our 18th season of Golden Bears 🐻 Baseball ⚾️ is set to begin in less than 2 weeks ! * Weather permitting

West Virginia Tech University Baseball is set to compete in the Clash of Conferences down in Tennessee once again this season ! February 6th and 7th are the dates and fingers crossed 🤞 that Mother Nature cooperates !

Home opener is set for February 21st in Beckley at Linda K Epling Stadium 🏟..

While West Virginia Tech University Baseball ⚾️ is still searching for its initial trip to Lewiston, Idaho for the NAIA College Word Series, some of our friends are out there this year !

53-5 is a gaudy record and we tagged GGC with one of those five setbacks last month in Beckley!

Jeremy Sheetinger in simple terms is a Class Act ! This young Man is a tremendous ambassador for the game of College Baseball. His hard hitting squad is a fun watch and easy to pull for, so we are hoping for nothing but the best for GGC out in Idaho.

Way back on February 8th we matched up with Brad Shelton and his Cumberlands squad. Shelton is another individual who represents the game in the best way possible.

The gentleman who is in charge of everything out in Idaho for the World Series is another friend of both the West Virginia Tech University Baseball program. Ronnie Palmer is also part of the extended OneofUs.Care Family 👪.

Palmer is just one of many people that I’ve met through the Baseball tree 🌳 that is Lawrence Nesselrodt, the long time Skipper of West Virginia Tech University Golden Bears 🐻.

Palmer left such an impression on me that he’s on a short list of folks that I would welcome another opportunity to work together.

We are incredibly proud of our Baseball family 👪 at WVU-T and it extends to a great deal of the Country.

While we wish we could be in Idaho this week, we’re thrilled that Jeremy and Brad made it and rest comfortably in knowing that Ronnie will take care of them !
