It's hard to say who is having a rougher spring. the Buckeye Nine on the field, or the Buckeye Nine blog.
While the Buckeyes fell in another weekend series, this time to the Hawkeyes, I was dealing with my own eye issue. Contrary to what you might think, the product on the field isn't quite bad enough to pull your eyes out, but apparently to my body it is bad enough to go ahead and get infections in both eyes.
With that I'm unable to recap what occurred this weekend as I continue to recover.
On the good side Jared Strayer continued to do well while Michael Stephens, Zach Hurley, and Ryan Dew had great weekends from the plate.
On the bad side, the Buckeyes are now in a 4-way tie for 5th, meaning they're dangerously close to missing the six-team Big Ten Tournament.
The Buckeyes welcome Pittsburgh tomorrow before wrapping up the regular season with a Thursday-Saturday series against Big Ten leading Minnesota.
While it is nearly impossible to stay on a computer for a prolonged time, I am tweeting away from my BlackBerry if there are any thoughts or questions to speak of. Of course in 140 characters.
Hopefully I'm well by Thursday and can do something in previewing the Minnesota series.

Ohio State Wins Home Opener, 9-1, vs. Pitt
Check out The-Ozone.net photo gallery from the game.
The Buckeyes claimed a 9-1 victory vs. Pittsburgh Wednesday (box score) afternoon in the team's home opener. The win, which ushered in the 12th season at Bill Davis Stadium, was the team's 10th "W" of the year in 16 tries.
Ohio State out hit the Panthers 11-5 and got three RBI from Ryan Meade in a 2-for-5 afternoon. Cory Kovanda and Cory Rupert also had two hits. Tony Kennedy doubled in his only official at bat. He also walked three times. The Buckeyes drew six walks in the game and struck out only five times.
Starting pitcher Andrew Armstrong allowed one unearned, first-inning run on two hits in his 5.0-inning outing. Drew Rucinski, Eric Best and Alex Wimmers allowed three hits but kept Pitt off the scoreboard in their four combined innings.
After Pitt scored in the first, the Buckeyes took the lead in the bottom of the inning with a pair of runs, added two more in the second, another in the fifth and then exploded for four more in the sixth. Click here to read the Pitt recap.
Each team committed an error. Just 636 fans watched the Wednesday matinee. I'm sure the crowds will be much better this weekend in the four games against Penn State.

Finally, the Home Opener
No doubt, Wednesday, March 26, has been on your calendar since the Buckeyes released their baseball schedule in November. That is the date of Ohio State's home opener. This year, they take on Pittsburgh at 2 p.m. to usher in the 12th season of Bill Davis Stadium. After 15 road or neutral-site games, the Bucks are finally back at "the Bill."
This is the last game the Buckeyes play without radio, but in addition to live stats via Gamewatcher, Buckeye Vision will have the game (subscription also includes Internet audio broadcasts at ohiostatebuckeyes.com).
Against Pitt: Ohio State State leads the all-time series with Pitt by a 15-1 count. The Buckeyes won the first 15 games in the series. Pitt stopped the streak in 2006 with a 7-3 win at Bill Davis Stadium. The two teams first played in 1942 and had a total of 12 meetings between then and 1968. There was a 30-year pause in the series until the teams met in 1998 (a 5-3 Ohio State win).
Scouting the Panthers: Pittsburgh exceeded everyone’s expectations, according to the school's web site, in 2007 by placing fourth in the Big East during the regular season. The team was 27-27 overall and 15-12 in the Big East.
Noting the Panthers...
• Sean Conley has been the team’s offensive leader early on, with .364 average, six home runs and 26 RBI through the team’s first 17 games.
• Jordan Herr and Danny Lopez also sport nice averages at .380 and .301, respectively.
• Herr, Joe Leonard and Lopez are double-digit RBI men with 14, 14 and 13, respectively.
• The pitching staff has a 5.85 team ERA.
• Brian Chrisman leads the starters with a 3-2 mark and a 3.58 ERA.
• Rob Brant has a 5.53 ERA. He and Nate Reed join Chrisman as inning eaters: they’ve pitched 27.2 and 18.1 innings through the team’s first 17 games, respectively.
