Hawkeyes whining about postseason baseball
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
All relative to strength of schedule (RPI). They get by in other sports, yet baseball is very stringent on RPI.
Probably shouldn't be talking about Iowa sports whining. Have you seen what your AD has been whining about?
Right way strikes again. I am sure all the others do things the wrong way.
It's the only way any team is ever able to beat the mighty Hoks.
His tweeting about this is an embarrassment!
Iowa has a good team. I know nothing about their tournament worthiness but they did have some exciting games down the stretch. I watched a few innings here and there. Brody Brecht had a great chance to show his stuff in that elimination game vs Michigan yday but didn’t get out of the first inning. Really quick hook.
EIU fans were complaining that the Michigan pitcher was removed from the game in the 3rd because he had stick'em on his glove. It was the EIU coaches that told the umps. They think UM should have been forced to forfeit the game for using an "illegal" player.
The Big 10 handled the situation just like they do in MLB, kick the pitcher out, and suspend him, which the league did for the next 4 games.
The Big 10 is average baseball conference, to much cold weather to play that far North in the Spring. The league gets a break in BB and FB, but they expect the same break in BB and just do not receive it and they shouldn't.
Michigan crushed EIU in the game, by the way.

If they only had a play-in game, they'd still be playing.
In the same game that they're complaining about?
Looks like 13-1, but yeah the pitcher in the first 1/3 of the game was the reason.
Michigan eliminates Iowa baseball from Big Ten Tournament with run-rule win
Iowa's pitching plan fell apart early, and the Hawkeyes were forced to play from behind the entire day. Michigan finally broke things open late.

This is the first I've seen anything about Hok baseball but that's great that they spread their issues around to other sports.
Oh we've got a Whatabouter in the house!
Hey, what about Iowa basketball's trajectory in March?
I severely doubt they got screwed any worse than the ISU SB team. They were 5th I believe and 3 of the teams above them made the college world series.
