and maybe even Saturday. 3-1 is good. 2-2 acceptable. Less a failure. 4-0 gravy.

and Forrest Moore cements himself as a weekend guy with another good performance.

If we can pull out the first two, I could see us having more than a better chance of finishing the weekend 3-1. The big question mark to me is going to be Thursday and definately Sunday. Thursday, because Bowen still hasn't gone longer than like four innings I think, and pitching depth will be pretty short come Sunday.

 

[mstatefan88]

Im gonna go 3 and 1. I think we pitch Forrest Moore maybe Friday or Saturday so he can be ready for his mid week start next week. I think if we do that, we should go 3 and 1 with Moore, Routt and Bowen pitching in some order thursday thru saturday. I think our biggest chance for a loss is sunday, and everyone seems to be in agreement with that. 2 and 2 is ok, but I really think we can get 3 out of this weekend. Always a chance for rain in Hawaii so I think a double header may help us out towards a 3 and 1 with the amount of depth we have on the team if that situation were to occur.

I think we can get 3 of 4. The warm weather will be a nice change for the team. I am concerned over the travel but I would think Cohen has the guys on a strict schedule. Hawai'i doesn't look to have too much offense so we may be able to pressure them, especially if we get a lead.

Also, I don't think we plan on starting Forrest Moore during the week anymore, especially for a team like Valpo.

It seems like someone earlier was saying games out of the Continental U.S. don't count record wise.

 

[BriantheDawg]

If so, they are a complete dubmass. Of course these games count. Hawaii = Division 1 NCAA team.

 

[graddawg]

What? So Hawaii can't count their home games? I don't think so.

 

[wpnetdawg]

I may be remembering wrong, but it seemed to me that Tennessee played 60 regular season games (all games counted) due to a Hawaii trip. I was wondering if the rule had been changed.

 

[BriantheDawg]

why these or any other games played in Hawaii wouldn't count, simply because they're not in the intercontinental U.S. That makes no sense at all.

 

[wpnetdawg]

I must be remembering wrong as I can't find a record of it on the UT site.

In football, didn't teams used to get to play a 12th game in football if they played in a game in Hawaii?

Edited to add: I found an article where UT-Arlington played a 61-game schedule in a year in which they played Hawaii.

Games outside the continential US have traditionally not counted against the number of games you're allowed to play in a season, but they've always counted on your record.</p>
