Man, that is just brutal. The gambling that has become so pervasive is eventually going to face the same scrutiny as all our other social ills. College basketball once had this problem and will probably have it again soon. |

Aces looking good early -- Chase Hug a granny ... 6-0 in the 3rd.

Routh 3rd ... but the Jailbirds only get 2 runs.
Smith vs. Mabee at the moment.

10-2 ... in the 5th. ISU is digging pretty deep into their bullpen.

Valpo kicks the Skinny Dogs in the teeth and Murray is getting curb stomped by MoST.
Sickos thump Bradley.

Today in MVC baseball:
Indiana State @ Bradley 11:00 AM (Sicks likely sewed it up this weekend)
Southern Illinois @ Valparaiso 1:00 PM (SIU facing a must-win weekend now)
Missouri State @ Murray State 1:00 PM (Bears are now the team to beat)
Belmont @ UIC 2:05 PM (The loser is in sorry shape)
Evansville @ Illinois State 3:00 PM. (Evidently NOT being live-streamed. Bummer!)
Junior LHP Donovan Schultz (5-3, 4.02 ERA) vs. TBA (Hibbard or Salada, most likely).
Eric Roberts is making a bid to be a high draft pick.
Aces burned a hole in the Jailbird bullpen yesterday, so that might play into later innings.
Nick Smith with 7 strong and Parks with 2 solid in relief -- UE pitching is cocked and ready, although pitchers who only throw once a week -- it's hard to compare them to pro pitchers. In some cases, relievers don't pitch for 2 weeks straight or are used in Wednesday games.

I didn't think that Smith had his best "stuff" early on, but he persevered and ended up throwing 7 innings, giving up 5 hits & 3 runs. Aces have a chance to overtake SIU for 3rd, as the Dawg's have fallen apart since being swept in TH.

With our favorable schedule down the stretch, I like our odds of finishing third as well. Indiana State and Missouri State are clearly the top two teams in the league right now. It’s worth noting that Murray State is tied with us now, but again, I think our favorable schedule is the difference down the stretch. MVC baseball standings: mvc-sports.com/sports/baseball |

Looking at records, one assumes the Aces have the edge but since nobody is winless, taking 2 of 3 is a useful outlook.
Bradley is likely out of the hunt, so they might try some younger pitchers. Still, another 8 games on everyone's schedule. You need a lucky bounce here and there and you're winning 4 in a row. I like the UE situation for the rest of this weekend, but a couple of guys who are slumping need to pick it up. Shallenberger is obviously not as healthy as he should be. If he broke his hand (no details on that), it's a factor.

Aces have a chance to overtake SIU for 3rd, as the Dawg's have fallen apart since being swept in TH. SIU might have been overrated. I saw early RPI that had them a lot lower than I thought they should be, based on history alone. But that isn't the SIU that I've known over the years. Valpo probably doesn't have enough bullets in its pitching chamber to take another one in that series. Still, Valpo is a lot better now than they were a month ago. |

Bradley just outhit IN St, but lost the game 2-0. Curious why their HC allowed their starting pitcher to throw 111 pitches in going the full route against the MVC's last place squad? I guess "arm preservation" is not a part of his vernacular. I think it's two (2) straight games that he's allowed SP's to go the full route. No need to develop a bullpen? bradleybraves.com/sidearmstats/baseball/media;team=away;category=batting |

The pros have a different agenda, that being an actual financial investment. Letting the bullpen pitch in the middle game of a weekender seems pretty simple to comprehend. |
