btownqb Posted April 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 With the later evening start (6pm) we should be good weather wise. 63 degrees at first pitch. I assume Manous gets the start. He, Kreuger, Sommer probably see the work tonight. Our kids probably didn't get into their rooms until 12:15-1230 last night. Find a way to win today and get some rest!!

Whenever I go to watch a game I'm reminded how quickly Indy has changed in 2 decades. Great to see a win for the good guys too! Make me feel really old I remember walking across the street from McNutt my freshman year to catch a game . Has it really been that long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it really been that long ago Yep. When I arrived in Bloomington in 1991 besides IU hoops/football I was so excited to watch Big 10 college baseball. Sadly...my high school had better facilities.

We have a college world series appearance, two Big Ten titles and five NCAA tourney appearances in the last decade. We also have an incredible stadium and great fan support. Purdue has a long, long way to go to catch up with that. .500 seasons and the 100th ranked recruiting class aren't going to get you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Incredible game last night. We won 9-8 in 14 innings. We started the game off down 6-1 and battled back. We are to the point where we are getting everyone's best game. Tommy Sommer (FR) went 4.1 giving up 4Hs and 1BB Andrew Saalfrank went 3.0 striking out 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 We need good starts out of Stiever and Milto Fri and Sat Sommer isn't going to pitch anymore this week, neither will Herrin, and maybe not Saalfrank. Manous and Sloan probably couldn't pitch until Saturday. So, basically for Friday night... we have Stiever, Kreuger, Lloyd, and Sabol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 I know I'm getting the proverbial cart in front of the horse, but when I read locking down the southern half of the State in baseball, it reminds me of what my 10 year old grandson had said to me recently. We were talking about college baseball and he says he'd like to go to LSU, because they usually have good teams. I said, you need to look at what IU is doing, with a WS appearance and that's where Schwarber went to school, he says "He did". He seemed to be impressed. Now I know this kid is only 10, but he eats and slleps baseball and would play the game every day if he could. I know I'm biased, but he is a pretty decent ball player, on his All-Star teams, good pitcher, first baseman and really good hitter. In his first game tonight, he went 2 for 2 with an RBI and a run scored. Pitched the last 2 innings for the win and struck out 5 of 6 hitters he faced. So..... Who knows??

We weren't good enough on Sat and Sun in "clutch" situations. We gave up a lot of 2 strike hits and didn't capitalize on our own opportunities. But.. We still only lost by 1 each day, our pen was depleted, and Pauly didn't pitch this weekend, plus OSU is a tourney team. Little worried about who'll start against Purdue this week though.

It's all your fault btownqb as IU has lost 3 in a row since you started singing their praises (just kidding)! I watched the IU/Purdue game last night along with the Cubs/Indians and Pacers/Cavs. The "trifecta of woe". The IU/Purdue game was pretty odd. The Purdue batter squaring around to bunt which wound up with him going to 1B on HBP. Coach Lemonis was pretty hot about that. Hopefully IU will get going in B1G as we are only 5th now. UM undefeated, but they haven't played anybody in the top of the B1G, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't drop in the conference though last night though because weirdly enough... that wasn't considered a conference game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you play 24 conference games, it wouldn't be fair to have 25 conference games and some of have 24. We played Rutgers as well this year in an out of conference game.

I don't know for sure, but I think it is because the conference wants to keep control of the schedule. If you have teams scheduling extra games on their own initiative, it's hard to control the conference schedule. If you remember, IU and Purdue a few years ago played a non-conference game against each other because they were scheduled to play only once in regular B1G season.
