Why start Burkhart today? Let's say he is 90%. The upside to playing him is .... what!? Even if we could compete with him in the line-up (hindsight shows we can't ... we are off to another rousing start); he certainly has seen enopugh live pitching this year that he doesn't need 3-4 abs today to be ready for Fri. I know he has young knees but what's the plus to have him squat and up 100 times on a bruised one ?? And please (not directed at you Chris ... its a general comment) ; stow the 'Well ... we need the RPI that a win vs. Lvlle will give for an at large selection' Put everything toward beating Ill. I'd consider resting Dan, start Chris G and Rupe, Give Dew some work in the OF and give some abs to Toussant at DH4 of the last 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/11407462944965447957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-15418651482870943792009-05-06T16:06:00.000-04:002009-05-06T16:06:00.000-04:00Stephens is probably the most underappreciated Buc...Stephens is probably the most underappreciated Buckeye.<br /><br />Yes he isn't a 3-hole hitter, but the guy is getting it done.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-91673047875921801472009-05-06T15:43:00.000-04:002009-05-06T15:43:00.000-04:00We've had more runners thrown out at home this yea...We've had more runners thrown out at home this year than the last 39 combined.

He should not have thrown Sunday, rested, then if he is better pitch today, then Sunday. But no.<br /><br />You can't throw him, though I wouldn't be shocked after his load Sunday, his load throughout the season, and when he is physically ill.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-63905752228552449342009-05-05T20:40:00.000-04:002009-05-05T20:40:00.000-04:00I'm thinking BT throws Best tomorrow.I'm thinking BT throws Best tomorrow.Guillermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368932396968923219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-54262121233339247012009-05-05T20:39:00.000-04:002009-05-05T20:39:00.000-04:00Kicked a Field Goal.Kicked a Field Goal.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-27512096691588801312009-05-05T20:38:00.000-04:002009-05-05T20:38:00.000-04:00hold on....Bucks are making a game of it now.....hold on....Bucks are making a game of it now.....Guillermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368932396968923219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-83014334519281828352009-05-05T20:36:00.002-04:002009-05-05T20:36:00.002-04:00Hey we scored a run.Hey we scored a run.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-31491034875291770122009-05-05T20:36:00.001-04:002009-05-05T20:36:00.001-04:00Three TDs - 0.

Maybe with Wolo and Best, absolutely not with any other starting pitchers.<br /><br />I try to do my best to give you guys the news as it comes out, and given our success, others, not I, have labeled OSU as a Regional Host. I honestly do not know enough to make a decision and compare uf to other teams, I simply post what is out there.<br /><br />I actually today just sent Eric Sorenson of College Baseball Today, and he will be the next "Buckeye 9 in the 9-Hole" with, and he can give us a better indication of the team and where we stand as he covers college baseball nationally.<br /><br />That will be up Thursday, with the L'Ville game 2 content.<br /><br />To this game... this is more embarassing than giving up 20 to Ball State in 4 innings. In that game, 16 of the runs came off pitchers who Todd will not send out come Tourney. Rucinski had a bad outing, which he has had a few lately, but other than that, not a big deal.<br /><br />This, we're getting pounded from inning 1 against a quality team and our bats gave us nothing.<br /><br />This basically say if we have to fight our way out of the losers bracket in a tournament, Big Ten or NCAA it might get ugly.<br /><br />Griff might not be the answer, but somehow in his limited playing time he seems to be a hassle to opposing pitchers, and though defense isn't an issue in our OF, he is solid with the glove. <br /><br />Not saying he should be an everyday OF, but the other guys are struggling right now.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-82957619628071108762009-05-05T20:14:00.000-04:002009-05-05T20:14:00.000-04:00Yes ... we beat Miami, we've been ranked and consi...Yes ... we beat Miami, we've been ranked and considered for a regional. On the other side we get pounded tonight. Everyone (including me!!!) calm down. We are not as bad as we fared tonight BUT I hope that it does put things into perspective as to where we are on a national stage (i.e. not there). Lets (I mean lets hope the Bucks) get all the 'national' dreams out of their heads and focus on the Big 10. I don't know how Ill. is doing it this year as, at least statistically, their pitching does not look that great. Chris, agreed on needing changes; but I don't think Griff is the answer vs. Arp / Hurley. But what about Rupert for the slumping Gus; perhaps Gus w/b more comfortable overall at 1st?4 of the last 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/11407462944965447957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6156350075032927506.post-74710732684827015932009-05-05T19:46:00.000-04:002009-05-05T19:46:00.000-04:00I'm embarassed.I'm embarassed.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16676360067091604946noreply@blogger.com
