It would be a better plan to play Wed, Thur, Sat, and Sun.

I feel okay with the bracket.  Both sides of the bracket present challenges. 

 

We were 1 - 2 against our bracket.  4 - 5 against the other side.  We did a good job against the 5 teams that missed, playing 4 of them.  Went 10 - 2.

As someone who drew short straw at work and can't take off this week to watch day games, I like this plan. Lets do this one. 

 

I'm starting to get hyped. I love tourney games.

We are much more suited to win a beat of 3 series vs a tournament format/regional format I think.  Hopefully we take advantage of Chase and Emmit the first two starts.

 

No matter what, in these tournaments you always need bats to show up.  Period.

Michigan had bases loaded and no outs in the 5th on Iowa and struck out three straight times.

Iowa takes game 1

Maybe a controversial opinion and not sour grapes… but all teams should play their 1st game on same day.  No winning team should have to play in back to back days to start.

 

Even if you have to spread to two fields for Day 1.

I was thinking the same thing.  One scheduling tweak I thought of is play 3 games the 1st 2 days, but have the losers play twice.  So, you would have Tuesday games between the 1-8 and 4-5 games, the losers play at night.  Wednesday has 2-7 and 3-6 games, the losers play at night.  That way, the 1 seed can still use their ace, if they make it to the final, on Sunday.  Thursday, has 2 games, the winners of each game.  Friday gives us the schedule we have now.    I could see teams not wanting to play 2 games in 1 day, so early.  1 team will be gone before 4 other teams play their 1st game.  I suppose the current set-up is probably the best for all 8 teams.

These are great ideas, but you're asking a conference that hates spending more than 10 minutes thinking about baseball to actually put some thought into creating a fair schedule. 

 

I'm sure BTN was behind the schedule changes this year because they were tired of creating insomnia in their production crews by starting games at 11 pm last year. No one in the conference office seems to care about baseball, unfortunately.

 

Heck, at this point, their football schedule was left in such a mess by the previous disaster of a commissioner that they're probably down to spending 3 minutes thinking about baseball.

Runs were tough to come by on day 1 in Omaha, especially considering how much the offenses were ahead of the pitching during the regular season in the B1G - hopefully our back half of the order has its small ball game dialed up for today and for the week.

Isn't the new commissioner a baseball guy so maybe that will change for baseball?

Should we pull this out… Olsen may be able to give us a few innings Sunday if we make it that far.

[hskr4life]
