I spoke with a osu fan yesterday. He was high on osu baseball until he heard UC smoked them. The narrative then became who cares about baseball, only fball and basketball count. UC does very well against osu in baseball. Let's hope this carries over into basketball next season.

There's no sense arguing with guys like that. If/when UC wins next year, you'll hear that it was UC's "Superbowl" and OSU was not taking it seriously because it was the first game of the year. Ditto if/when UC beat s the Buckeyes in football someday.

I would bet 95% of OSU fans don't even know the two schools play in baseball. Nobody in my office over the last 5 years has once even mentioned OSU Baseball, but we talk Reds, and Indians all the time.

College baseball is a super niche sport in Ohio.

Bearcats roll #20 South Florida 10-7.

Schedule change with a doubleheader today; no game tomorrow. Not sure if this is weather related but I'm guessing both teams look forward to an extra day off before the AAC championship next week.

Go 'Cats!

Our guys have had hot bats of late, particularly Manny Rodriguez, Kyle Mottice, Connor McVey and Cole Murphy. We are going to need it today as I believe we will be facing their ace and 2nd best pitcher. USF has some power in their lineup as well.

And I suspect both teams may try to save their better pitchers for next week if they possibly can. So these could turn into slugfests (weather permitting).

Looks like you were right... currently 6-4 Bulls in the 4th. This one is turning into a beer softball league slugfest.

I think the USF pitcher is one of their regular starters. And he's only given up 3 hits. Luckily for UC they have all been HR's.

RE: 2018 Bearcat Baseball Thread
I wouldn't mind being in Clearwater today for the tourney, but duty calls here on the home front.

Here's hoping the Bearcats take it to UCONN and prove to be the surprise team in the AAC. Tough final home series with USF, but overall we saw some excellent play from UC down the stretch. Regardless, I like the new coach and feel the program has tremendous upside potential in what appears to be a top three conference.

Attending some home games this season, one thing puzzled me. I couldn't find any recognition of Sandy Koufax anywhere in Marge Schott Stadium. From what I understand, he's a humble man. But how can a Hall of Fame player of his stature not be recognized in our stadium in some way?

Go 'Cats!

Due to weather concerns this week in Clearwater they are double dipping today

UC vs. UConn at 1230p today followed by a game vs. Wichita St or USF . Win one to live another day . Lose both closes the book on the 2018 season . The Bearcats are 28-26

UC is still without a league tourney win since 2008. It would be nice to at least end that drought.

RE: 2018 Bearcat Baseball Thread
We're well conditioned to early exits in the postseason. I had hoped this team might surprise us.

On balance, I suppose this 2018 club exceeded expectations with a winning regular season record and victories against ranked teams (IU, USF, ECU, UCONN) and a pasting of OSU.

Overall, I'm encouraged by Googins and where he might take this program in one of the best baseball conferences in the country. My first year as a season ticket holder for baseball and I'll be back for more next year.

Well we were 15-41 in 2015. We have been about a .500 team since. I forget when the last coach took over for the guy who was mediocre for 20 years at UC, but the trend seems to be going upward the past 3 years. It seems we have been building an actual team instead of just having one or two good players carry the squad.
