Toledo Preview

The Rockets are currently 6-9 on the year with victories over Louisiana Tech, UC and Findlay. A four game series vs West Virginia was cancelled due to rain. The Rockets were recently swept in a three game series by MAC foe Miami (OH). Toledo will play the Univeristy of Chicago on Thursday before coming to Columbus. Game time is 2:00PM Wednesday. Gate proceeds will go to a fund for the Bluffton Baseball team who were involved in that horrible accident on March 2nd link

Just curious why the game is during the day, they aren't all like that are they?

 

[JCOSU86]

No idea, CB40. All the rest of their home games are in the evening (mostly 6:00PM or later) or on weekends.

I remember a couple years ago the home opener was against EMU, at night, and it was about 35 degrees out. Probably scheduled for day in case of colder weather.

I've been curious to see who gets the start for us, and it looks like Josh Edgin.

Mid week games may be ugly for us this year...i'll try to control myself :tongue2:

I reckon fausnaugh is hurt or something...anybody heard?

i suspect we will see Edgin, Minium, Sizemore, and hopefully Fausnaugh start midweek games...


I hope the weekend will go Delucia, shuck & Barrera in the 7 inning games, and Luebke moved to sunday . At this point, I just cant see shuck or barrera in a 9 inning game

but i'm probably dreaming....i suspect it will end up being Delucia, Luebke, Barrera, and shuck on sunday.

hale has had trouble lately..i wouldnt mind seeing meister back at closer and Hale moving back in the 4 spot. Jake has proven in the past that he can go 9.

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I was leaving school and drove by and they were up 13-2...Not sure what inning, but I am assuming that they won...

Seems like a dominating performance by the Bucks in the home opener. Unfortunately I had to miss it because of work but I will make it to some of the weekend games vs. Iowa.

Looks like the bats are waking up big time. Lets see how this weekend goes before we can tell if they are really grooving yet or if the competition is really just that bad. With our starting pitching and usually reliable bullpen, we only need some active bats to make a lot of noise this season. Keep it rolling.
