We lost something like 7 in a row plus 3 games were canceled. Hate to see what our record would be if they had not canceled those games vs WMU. How long will MOB put up with the losing seasons? I'm sure Coach Mees is a good coach, but, he's probably got an overall losing record.

If Toledo will not recruit outside of Ohio and Michigan it will not compete.

You gotta ask yourself, if you were a hot shot baseball player living in a State other than Michigan or Ohio, would you want to come here and play baseball? We are forced to play at a field that is not ours because the weather sucks, therefore, the field conditions are not optimal. We never have a winning record. Our facilities are not the top in The MAC unlike The Glass Bowl and Savage Arena, plus we don't play baseball on the Main Campus. Like our Football and Basketball marketing strategy says "This is Toledo." We can do better this.

Have you seen where Kent State baseball facility is?

Not exactly on campus. Main campus land too valuable to put a sub par program on

I say put them at Welltower. Beautiful grounds

Rockets fall again 3-2

If I ever win powerball and we still have a baseball program, I’m donating 10 million for an indoor practice facility, a new head coach, and maybe use the rest to convince the Mudhens to use their stadium for home games.

Meh. Scrap the program entirely and put all that money towards football/basketball.


Question of the century is how in the world does the head coach still have a job??? He has two winning seasons in sixteen years at the helm of the Rockets (yes, 2 out of 16) and zero championships. Usually when people underperform and do not meet expectations in their respective fields, they get canned. Don't get me started on the facilities...UT baseball just not a program worth taking any interest in whatsoever. Never has been for me. Really too bad.

Eliminating baseball/softball would free up a lot of $$$... With no need for new stadiums on campus, that money could be put towards new lighting and ribbon boards for GB and new soccer facility...
Two sports to bring aboard could be men’s soccer/lacrosse along with women’s lacrosse... The soccer stadium with new additional bleachers and lighting could be tops in the MAC along with Savage and the GB...

Baseball and Softball scholarship counts would not be nearly enough to counter those sports being added...and where does LAX play? The Soccer field will be too small, so you're looking at having a lot of lovely lines painted on the football field like it was at UC until they built their own field a few years later (which UToledo doesn't have the space or money for).

OK, how about men’s wrestling and women’s crew...
No expensive new LAX facility would be needed and I think the Maumee would suffice... Also scholarships would even up...
Toledo, I repeat, Toledo, will never be a baseball/softball powerhouse... They can’t even win the MAC, say, once in every ten years...
Those 2 sports along with plans for new stadiums will continue to drain $$$ from the UT athletic budget...
For the record, I love baseball/softball and would love to see it succeed at UT, but at it’s present state, it would not seem feasible to sink any additional money into it... Just an opinion !!

Oh I completely agree...honestly, I don't think the AD should sponsor Baseball or Softball and don't think that we would need to sponsor new sports to replace them. It seems odd that when our campus is nearly tapped out for space, we have decided that baseball and softball diamonds that are only used for roughly 2 months every year are the best choice for the only open land we still have. There is a big red number that will need to be made up in the budget this year, and even though the smart and reasonable thing to do would be to cut two sports that are zero revenue and significant financial drains, that will never be done.

We don't need a crew team, we don't need a wrestling team, hell, we don't need half of the sports teams we have...it would significantly help the University budget shortfall if we started focusing on academics again, instead of pulling roughly $21,000,000 out of the University budget to prop up the department. To me, it should be Football, Men's Basketball, then the women's teams needed to fulfill TIX requirements...that's it, but that's never going to happen.

It's been that way for a looooong time w/baseball. Stan Sanders might be the last Baseball MACC. Even he never had much going with all the years he was here. All hat and no cattle for a long time. Agree with not moving them over to main. Probably a must if we get rid of SPark campus but otherwise a total waste of time, $$ and land. Too late I'm afraid...mistake!

Oh that is the only reason why they're doing it. They're marketing it as a new "athletics core" and to improve the student experience, but no student would go to games either way. This is clearly being done to accelerate the divestment from Scott Park Campus, and that's it. Sad that we'll probably spend more money making and maintaining these two stadiums that we'll save for getting out from under that campus.

Recently was at a Saturday college softball doubleheader.My wife's niece's daughter was on the visiting team. Lot of fun(keyboardist and a DJ). Small school had a nice but limited concession stand-hot dogs, chips, sodas/water,popcorn, ice cream sandwiches. Crowd of about 250-300, consisting of player families,students, and retirees. Definitely was a good time

Pretty sure we NEVER won a MACC in baseball.

I will say again. Lots of land at WellPoint / Alumni site

That will likely be parceled and sold in the coming years once Welltower moves their operation to NYC. The Foundation doesn't need that much land or building space, so it would make the most sense from a financial generation AND operational efficiency standpoint to divest from as much as possible.

We have been playing MAC baseball since the 1950's and have never won a championship.
