The weather is creating a heck of a logjam in the schedule with midweek OAC DH's starting.  Mount @ JCU had to be pushed from Tue. to Wed. due to ONU continuing to be pushed back from Sat.  I would imagine others are in the same boat with the OAC DH's piling up.  Definitely going to test the depth of some pitching staffs.

Looks like Otterbein's DH at Capital got moved to Thursday, and Otterbein is still playing their DH with Marietta as scheduled for Wed. 

Helps Otterbein, as now they'll have their top 2 pitchers vs Marietta's #3/4.  But then Otterbein has to play a DH on thurs at Capital, and another dh on Saturday vs John Carroll.

ONU @ Mount was pushed back now to Thursday with JCU remaining tomorrow.  They're in the same boat as Ott (and probably others) with OAC DH's Wed, Thu and Sat this week.

Not a great start for my Raiders today.  They got completely shut down by JCU's #3 starter, Vargo.  1 run on 3 hits in a 6-1 loss in game 1.

BW beat up on Berg 12-3 in game 1.

Ott topped Etta 6-2 in Westerville.

That was a big sweep for BW yesterday.  That gets them right back in it.

BW also did not use Zimmerman yesterday, which was refreshing to see since he threw 122 pitches on Sunday.  Would have been disappointed if he started on 3 days rest after that many pitches in his previous start.  It will be interesting to see if he throws in their game against Wooster today or they keep him fresh for the weekend OAC series against Wilmington.

Dr. Acula

An inning at most maybe?  If I was Harrison I wouldn't throw him at all today though.

Dr. Acula

A split at JCU and now Mount sweeps ONU in Alliance today.  Both their offense and their pitching is erratic this season.

Dr. Acula

Ott swept Cap yesterday dropping Cap to 3-3.  Cap has Musky today.  If they throw Wellman today things line up pretty well for Mount playing Cap tomorrow.  You can't imagine they'll have much pitching left playing the last of 3 OAC DH's in 3 days.  It looks like Mount held back Toma for Cap.  A sweep would get them right back into the thick of it.

Interesting year so far, this definitely seems to be a down year for the Conference. Does anyone have the pitching to make it out the first weekend of the playoffs?

do you mean win a Regional?  there is only one weekend of the playoffs before the World Series.

anything can happen in mid May, that's still a long way off, lots of games to be played.  Once you're in a Regional, everyone has a shot.

No team in the OAC has a chance to win a regional unless they have some incredible improvement in pitching. And there won't be an at large bid either with the records this year so it's only going to be the winner of the conference tournament even getting to a regional.

Ouch, that might hurt. Wilmington gets their 1st conference win in game 2 vs BW 6-5

Marietta takes care of business on the road with a SWEEP of Heidelberg.
