Today at Toledo loss 19 - 6. Pitching a continuing problem.  Used 10 pitchers in 8 innings. Gave up 13 hits, 10 walks, 5 hit batters, and 2 errors.

Weekend summary against Oakland.  Win on Friday 3 - 2. Jacob Gehring again had a strong outing with 7 innings and 2 relievers. Allow 5 hits, 4 walks, and 1 hit batter.

Double hitter on Sunday. Both blowout losses by 10 run rule, one 6 innings and a 2nd needed a few batters in the 7th to get to the 10 run rule. First game 14 - 1. They had only 7 hits but had 10 walks and 4 hit batters along with 5 of our errors. Second game 13 - 3. They had 13 hits, 8 walks and 3 hit batters along with 3 errors for us.

It looks like we only have a chance with our top pitcher, Jacob Gehring. Trouble beyond that and we don't score many runs and make more than a few errors.

I think we get a part of the money from Oakland's winnings. That was what happened during Butler's run.

80 - 76! Greg Campi is a great coach. Beat us in the last 5 seconds with a bit of a trick play. He out coaches a lot of coaches. Just show our league was pretty good this year as was YSU.  And 3 pointers are what can win big games.

This weekend started good with a 4 - 2 win on Friday. Usually each team uses their top pitcher and we win.

Game on Saturday. Usually your 2nd best pitcher and we lose by 10 run rule after 7 innings 13 - 3! They got 19 hits and 1 walk to our 4 hits and 3 walks.

Sunday with the next pitcher and again we lose by a 10 run rule after 8 innings 18 - 5. They got 16 hits and 10 walks and we get 7 hits and 6 walks!

It sure looks like we are over matched. The pitching is especially weak, the hitting not that great, and the defense average at best. For sure we need better players if we are to compete. There is the portal, recruiting, the off campus facility, the budget, coaching, etc.  I sure don't know the inside of the program to know what is the issue, but this is embarrassing.

Baseball won again 4 - 2, against Purdue Fort Wayne. Only 4 walks and the starting pitcher, Jacob Gehring, went 8 strong innings giving up 4 hits and 3 walks. That kind of pitching gives you a chance to win. That is 2 in a row after starting 0 - 15!

Baseball won today at Pitt 7 - 6 in 10 innings! First win of the year after 14 or more losses. And not too many walks like in most other games. Maybe we have a few pitchers who can throw strikes and get some people out.  The defense is adequate although there are many stollen bases. But the walks and then the hits are really out of line for too many of our pitchers.

I see we have a new women's basketball coach. Reception Monday. Don't know who it is.

Baseball had another bad series at Georgia Tech loosing all 4 games. Three were stopped by the 10 run rule after 7 innings. Watching some of the games on ESPN+ was difficult. Our pitching is not up to that level of competition.  One game in 6 innings we gave up 17 walks! Now we have games Tuesday at Kent, Wednesday at Pitt, and Friday begins a 3 game League series. After using so many pitchers this past weekend, I don't think we have enough pichers who can make these games any where near competitive. Not sure what the issues are. I know we lost a good pitcher to Texas A&M. Not sure about any others. Maybe playing some northern team will make things better. I sure hope so.

As I understand it, the end zone areas are not being modified at this time. Those were redone when Mike Rice came in as coach.

A future plan is to add a room at the north end of the court as a court side entertainment room.

We need more team play instead of individual play in my opinion. Too many 3's taken and not enough of an inside game either driving or getting the ball inside to our bigs. In the league we could have (should have) won just about every game with this approach. And play determined smart defense. Can't believe how many times we were beat off the dribble in the GB game with better athletes.

As I understand it, the new seats will still be roll back like the current seats. The lower level will have arm rests and cup holders. The upper seats will be chair back, but no arm rests or cup holders. Seats will be larger and more space in front for leg room.

Too bad they didn't provide more leg room in the football chairbacks.

It will be interesting to see the moves in jour program over the off season. Who do we bring in from the Portal and recruiting? What assistant coaching changes do we make, etc. There are questions on most of the defense and some key offensive position namely qb, rb, and Oline. Either our current guys are in and develop further or we bring in new players. We will watch this off season, but the proof will be our first game at Villanova next August. I think DP deserves our support and I think he knows what is needed to further improve our program. And will do it the right way with good people.

I watched the SIU game. They should have won. With score tied and 3 seconds left in the game, they set up for a 41 yard field goal to win the game. Their field goal kicker is having a bad year and entering the game he was just 2 of 6. He made about a 36 yard field goal earlier in the game, but his 41 yard try to win was partially blocked. In overtime SIU was intercepted on 3rd down, and Idaho kicked a field goal to win. SIU was up 10 - 0 in the 1st half and 17 - 10 mid way in the 4th quarter. It seemed like they tired at the end of the game to me.

I think it is difficult to decide who might be a favorite in this game. No games played as of late between a MVFC team and the conference that Villanova plays in. We always hear about how superior the MVFC is, so this game will be a big test between their conference winner and us, the 3rd place team in the MVFC. The few clips I saw of Villanova shows them to be a big team which would seem to fit in the MVFC. Also we need to see if our pass defense has improved late in the year or still has the significant weakness shown much of the year. In the Tressel years we always peaked at the end of the year in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see if Phillip's team has done the same.
