I've made a couple of sweet predictions in this game thread today. lol
*****Official B1G Baseball Tournament Games Thread. #3 IOWA vs #1 Maryland, Sunday 2:00 PM CT, BTN*****
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Good move on their part. Absolutely zero reason to burn their better pitchers in a game that is all but out of hand.
Heller was interviewed by Iowa press yesterday. There is a video of the interview on-line (pretty sure it was DMR). He indicated that he's advised that it could be "any day." He also indicated that "all of the information" has to be provided and his comments suggested that "additional information" may have been requested and not yet supplied. It wasn't a particularly hopeful comment.
(On a sidenote, someone I trust informed me today that a key ISU football positional player is implicated and that ISU has begun implementing a contingency plan)
any idea what the 4 suspended players can do/cannot do?
ie, can they use the Iowa facilities? Can Keaton use the Iowa batting cage? (I am guessing the answer is no)
Or do they have to do throwing, batting practice, working out, etc all on their own?
Would be nice to run rule these guys after last year’s season ending debacle.
10 run rule would've been sweet..turnabout is fair play from last year!
I would too. If he's on you likely win, if he's off you pull him early and save him for another game.
There you go. Revenge is a dish best served cold. (My daughter is a UM grad . . . just sent her a smily face text).
And win #40, awesome day...rest up Hawks (and fans!) and we will come back at it Thursday afternoon!
No but I did find it interesting that the game I went too (MSU) that Anthony was in uniform. So I'd speculate he can at least use the facilities.
There is a part of me that hopes Indiana wins later, beating them in the next round would be a nice RPI boost. Iowa has a regional in the bag I would think, let's improve on that.
Interesting decision now for Heller.
Langenberg throws 72 pitches last Friday.
Brecht threw 79 pitches on Saturday. However, very few of Brecht's pitches would have been considered "high leverage." Certainly far less stressful pitches when compared to Langenberg's 4 innings.
My guess is that Brecht pitches if the opponent is Indiana. If the opponent is Illinois, I would guess that Heller leans going with Langenberg.

Impressive blow out win against the B1G Pitcher of the Year & Michigan.
him being in uniform is interesting; i thought the suspended players wouldn't even be on the bench
the penalty so far has been 10 games
