Iowa Baseball Vs Michigan In Round Rock, Texas

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa opens a 44 game conference schedule in Texas this weekend with a four game series vs Michigan. Games are March 6th at 6pm, March 7th DH at 2pm/6pm, and March 8th at 11am. My understanding is the doubleheader will be one seven inning and one nine inning game. I do think the conference’s scheduling and rules for baseball and softball are huge mistakes.

Michigan is pretty green, as they lost a lot from last years lost season team. Their pitching will be led by Walker Cleveland and Blake Beers. Both are pretty solid.

Iowa is green as well as far as a proven rotation goes. We will see what happens. The Covid lay-off May hurt then as well.

Am I reading the schedule right - we play Nebraska 5 times? Two in Mpls and three in IC?

5 times over 2 CONSECUTIVE weekends

note the first pitch times; how does 9 am sound???

its one funky schedule; I see that one weekend Maryland & Northwestern are in Iowa City but we only play Northwestern...for now, at least

Each Thursday I am going here for the most recent times, TV, etc: https://hawkeyesports.com/sports/baseball/schedule/

8,000 for basketball, but we aren’t even allowed 800 for baseball outside?

Looks like Wallace has been named the “Friday” starter.

 

[iowaHawkeyes2323]

Best case is 3-1 but think 1-3 is more likely

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa going with Wallace, Irvine, Baumann, and Davitt in that order.

@Alum-Ni do you mind posting scores and standings all year for baseball?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I have to say, I know we have read what Austin Martin said. Until the pitching staff goes out there and shows me quality starts, I have question marks.

Sure

It makes zero sense whatsoever.

Yup. We should be able to have the tournament and fans at games. Maybe Warren is hell bent on destroying the conference?

Rutgers up on Minny 5-1 in the 4th

Love BTN Plus!!!

Also, playing in US Bank Stadium sucks; hope Iowa doesn't get sent there next weekend

Hawks trailing 2_1 in the seventh. Wallace went 5 and struck out 8

For baseball, perhaps.......

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa falls 4-2 in game one. I think we all knew coming into this series that Michigan was favored. Iowa just couldn’t string together hits or extra base hits in a timely fashion. Wallace battled, but 95 pitches in five innings did him in. He is right at that 2-1 K:BB ration, but I’d like to see four walks in five innings cut down to one or none.

Hajjar for Michigan is a top 50 draft prospect, so Iowa did eventually get him out of there, but until the 7th. I don’t know how they do it, but Michigan is becoming a top 100 draft pick factory for pitching over the last few years.

So three more against Michigan, then two against tOSU next weekend and the “top heavy” portion of the schedule is out of the way.

I definitely think the games are at US Bank. Iowa will have the advantage of having played there before with how it’s setup.

its just a bizarre place to place D1 baseball, imo

but since we are forced to play games in winter time, I guess we take what we can get

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not exactly sold on Irvine and Baumann as starters. We’ll see how it goes.

 

[funnyfletcher]

Huge 5th inning for the Hawks!

 

[Hammer93]

Score please?

 

[funnyfletcher]

Score please?

Hawks win 8-3 in 7 inning game

Game two is starting bad, very bad. Baumann appears to be struggling once again similar to last year. I was afraid of this.

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Looks like Iowa pulled all the upper classmen. Bad energy? Rest for tomorrow?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Iowa falls 7-0, kind of a let down after game one today. Iowa rEally brought nothing to the table offensively.

The only positive on offense, Williams extended his hitting streak to 14 games I think. Bullpen only gave up one hit.
