YSU vs Houston Baseball

(1/3) > >>

OleYSUfan:
I'm impressed; the YSU baseball team took the last two games in the series with Houston. What's impressive is YSU' pitching holding Houston to 3 and 5 hits respectably. Must of been the warm weather in Houston.

Great job team; kept up the good work. Maybe this year's team will win 20+ games.

Seems like new players have added significantly to the offense.  Good to see.  And the pitching holding up like it did is impressive.  Need to hold down the walks and we will have a chance.  Again some names pitching that I don't recall from last year.  I saw that Houston was ranked something like 36 in the country.

We need baseball to be successful to avoid it being dropped in favor of soccer or something like that.  Local Baseball is pretty good I think and most people can relate to the game over things like soccer.  I know it is the north, but I like college baseball for YSU.

Listened on YSN and they do a good job.  Steve Lesley is a knowledgeable baseball guy, not just an announcer.

Wick250:
Last season our pitching outright stunk.  Now in three games we limited a team that practices outside all year to a .150 batting average.  I know that we hold scrimmages behind the netting in the WATTS, but our pitchers had not worked off a mound since the fall.  I sure hope that this weekend is not a fluke.

Baseball simply has to succeed to justify the enormous expenses.  It is our most expensive sport outside of football, compounded by our lack of a campus facility.  I wonder what will happen when the Scrappers fade away after the 2020 season.  Cafaro will probably nuke the facility and build something else on that site.  Perhaps our future is at Cene Park.  Or lacking space adjacent to campus, perhaps the university could take over an abandoned or seldom-used city facility, put in a turf field, and erect 500 modern seats.  Borts or Pemberton come to mind.

I know they tried to buy some of the old houses over by Harrison Field to try and expand that and turn that into a new stadium but no such luck.

IAA Fan:
Two almost identical teams out there. College ball is all about hitting. Singles and home-runs. The guys with the most singles are usually the winner because they have more RBI's. Andre Good looks to be playing awesome this series. 5 times at the plate and 5 times he got on base 4 hits and a walk. 2 HR's.
