Good luck Buckeyes, Off to a very good start. Too bad we can't kick anymore of the Indians butt.

Today's doubleheader has been canceled because of the weather. They'll try to play a double header tomorrow but that is already 2 games down the drain that won't be made up. How will this affect Big Ten Standings?

That will be strange in the conference standings, of course, other games could be cancelled as well. Four games in three days is a dumb ass conference rule IMO anyway. :(

 

[Ttown]

Another arguement for a later season IMO

 

[BuckeyeStu]

Buckeyes split the double header today dropping the first game 8-5 in 9 innings and winning the second game 10-7 in 7 innings. Buckeyes are now 18-5 on the season and 4-2 in the Big 10.

A win over Miami would be our best win of the year...

this is not your average midweek game!

I think we should throw a weekend starter.
