Our bullpen is abysmal so I think we’ll go with our best starter tbh. 

Well.. he threw 97 pitches Thursday evening. 

Also--- as of now-- weather in Omaha looks interesting this week. We want to play Tues, though.  

Forgot the OSU loss stipulation... 

We play Purdue 11AM Tuesday. I'm curious if Purdue sits their #3 starter today and throws him against us? 

Or maybe go with their Friday night guy (who threw Thursday night)... 97 pitches.

So.. he was FL large class DPOY and his team went 14-0 state title..

I believe he spent a year at prep school.

So Purdue lost again to Illinois tonight and that puts the boilers at 13-10 with one more game vs Illini tomorrow. Even with a win they end up 14-10 vs our 15x9 so there’s nobody else that can pass us at #3 in the B10 standings. Illini in the driver’s seat for regular season title unless they lose to Purdue tomorrow and Nebraska sweeps MSU tomorrow. Then it’s a tie at the top and I don’t care enough to check tie breakers.

Go Hoosiers!!!!

If Purdue wins tomorrow they're the 6 seed, and we play them. 

If they lose, we play Ohio state.

I really hate that about Bell. I realize injuries factor in some this year but the constant juggling of the lineup is crazy.  When Bochy 1st arrived in Texas he set a lineup and the main players stay in their same spot. If they went out for an injury or load management their replacement took that spot in the order not to disrupt the othes..   His claim is MLB players are creatures of habit and are more comfortable when they know what to expect on a day to day basis. 

When Bochy arrived in Texas he had about 4x the talent that Bell does, so he has that ability. 

Who else could you put in the leadoff role with Friedl, India, and McClain hurt?

@IU Scott was upset with Bell last year for NOT changing the lineup.

Like I said, I get where you are coming from. On the other hand I think helping small school athletics is very important!

All I'm saying--- those schools have way more money than what's allotted to these teams. Colleges/universities suck people dry for money, literally, all of them do. 100K is chunk change compared to the worth of these universities. 

Last I'm going down this rabbit hole, but those schools should fork over more money so their sports teams can operate.

I get where you’re coming from. However, knowing you are a strong supporter of non-revenue sports I wonder why you are so against buy games? Most of these schools that is there entire AD budget?!🤷🏼‍♂️

I don't find their lack of revenue to be our concern. 

"I wonder why you are so against buy games?"--- I just don't enjoy watching us play FGCU, Army, Wright St, etc. 

I prefer to watch us play-- Auburn, Kansas, UL, UCONN, Nebraska, Ohio St, etc

If this were blackjack, last year we were sitting on 14 and we stood pat with that 13th spot.  This year we are sitting on 19.  

I still haven't seen a good reason behind "not filling it" though.

True.  The IU pitching yesterday was definitely sufficient for a DH sweep - unfortunately the hitting only showed up for game 2.  We were listening to the first game on the way to Bloomington and it sounded like a sure IU double (can't remember the batter) was called foul but the announcer said it hit the chalk.  Could have been a difference maker but just left too many runners on base.

I think the lack of midweeks the past month has created issues for our hitters. Terrible time to go in a slump. The pitching the last month has been really good. 

boring

Yesterday was my selected date to watch a game in the suite with 3 guests.  Originally first pitch was set for 6pm but got a text from VC Wednesday saying that because BTN had decided to televise the game the first pitch was moved up to 5pm.  No problem, we just moved our departure time from Columbus up by an hour.  Then, yesterday morning got another text saying that due to bad weather Friday that game was being moved to 1pm yesterday as game one of a double header with the 2nd game starting 30 minutes after conclusion of game 1.  Those who had been invited to watch Friday's game in the suite were invited to attend game 1 yesterday. My group arrived at 4 just after the first game ended but because BTN TV time was set the 2nd game didn't start til 5.  No problem as we had a good time having food & beverage and were treated to IU bats FINALLY coming to life in game 2 and we clinched a spot in the BTT with that win.

It was announced that the rubber game/Senior appreciation day would be at 2pm on Saturday.  It now appears that the game has been rescheduled to this evening at 6pm instead.  I suppose Saturday suite invitees will now be invited to come this evening instead.  It's critical to BTT seeding that all remaining games get played and it's a TOUGH task to plan around Mother nature!

Go Hoosiers!!!!!!!

 

I will say--- that moving the two games to yesterday and another game today DIRECTLY benefits IU and Michigan, for that matter. 

Bothwell or Foley will start game 1 on Tues/Wed and the other will throw game 2. That's huge.

Trying to zone in such a way that includes Subway but excludes Wendy's is some wild NIMBYism. But as I look around at other strips in the area, maybe it's more common than I think.

no energy to educate myself on that article.... buuuuut--- 1. do you use the Wendy's app? If not, and you do eat at Wendy you should start.... 2. New subway sub--- The Beast--- half pound of meat-- pepperoni, pastrami, ham, turkey, roast beef, provolone, parm vinaigrette, mayo--- I add quite a bit of other stuff. It's VERY good. 

Subway just got done with their BOGO-- I was buying two of those for $12 lol

You haven't eaten at the right places my man. In your defense those right places probably aren't around here. 

For street tacos, if you have a chance go to Taco Mix on Obrien Street in Seymour and get their barbacoa tacos. 

 

Bro it's in America lol.. it's Americanized... and I agree, it's VERY good. I think I'll take Morales in Seymour.

Inside the new sports complex/ old mall. I am trying to get that contract for signage. 450 is a favorite of our the Cheeseburger pizza excellent and they have a Metallica inspired beer that's pretty good. Love Zwangigs, then go get some ice cream at Zaharakos. That's a nice date night

Zwanzigz has like 4-5 REALLY good beers. Plus both those places are pretty cool/nice/well kept/good service.

It is going in the Nexus Park building, next to Riviera Maya.

Christ. I knew that, my wife told me. 

I guess I'll have to see it to understand how it's going to fit in there.

The only way I reheat pizza. 5 minutes on medium heat. Put a half dozen droplets around the slices and place a lid. Walk away for 5 minutes. Tastes nearly as good as when it was made. 100% no cap.

I will try it.

There really is not bad pizza in my books. I'm sure you already know this but Mother Bears is coming to Columbus( the summer garden pizza pan style with sauce on top is out of this world) another place I love Yummy bowl is coming into the old Chuck E Cheese. If you have not going i highly recommend. 

Yes, pretty pumped for MBs. Zwanzigs and 450 do have solid pizza too, and obviously HotBox. 

Do you know where it's going in at in Columbus? 

Holy crap.  huge changes

I thought I might get to watch the Refs this afternoon but MLB Network is blacking it out. It is a road game in Arizona so why can't I watch it.

What's your cable provider again? Comcast? Thats why.
