eddy4iu Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 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!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirdgenhoosier Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 IU wins game 3, 8-4 and that is a series win. That clinches at least a top four seed in the standings if I’m not mistaken, with the possibility of a 3 seed??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B10 hasn’t updated standings or scores from today which is frustrating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy4iu Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 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!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bullpen is abysmal so I think we’ll go with our best starter tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
