Schultz was dominant. If Bradley wasn't lucky, they'd have zilch this game. 7 innings of solid pitching. Hansmann needs to just land the plane. 6-1 in the 8th.

Is Smith a "reliever?" Like putting a lion in a bird cage...

Good to see Schally's mom w/ her pom poms. That game atmosphere (and ESPN+ narration) is enough to chill out on...Schultz ran out of gas in the 7th. Nice game...looked strong early on. After that Bradley helmet "dinger," things quickly calmed...

Is Smith a "reliever?" Like putting a lion in a bird cage... He started the first game as the ace and it wasn't long before he was pitching on Wednesday. He even got bumped off of that. I don't think he's high leverage out of the pen now. Obviously he is healthy enough to pitch but there are frosh on the B squad who can do that.

These broadcasters are obviously students, as were the two last night. It's good that the students get to learn on the job how to do a ball game, but they aren't very good at it. Still, I think letting students do student jobs is preferable for this. The slick-toned pros don't have any real zest for it. Although Kyle Peach is fairly excitable.

Look'n at the lower backstop pads, I'm wondering who manages the stadium? Bradley use contract? And that OF fence looks like a Salvador Dali jigsaw puzzle. What class Minor League club does Peoria have? Poor Elvis...
You're spot on re: "live experience," but ESPN+ is PAY PER VIEW...

They can go back to Myer and Fieger for Sunday if they need it. Shane Harris just needs to steer the boat. Bradley with 8 losses in a row. Looks like the Normal Birds are scuffling today, so 2nd place is where we most likely sit come Sunday.

Aces win 6-1 to take the first two games of Bradley series. Schultz was solid again. Four run inning highlighted by Shallenberger’s three run homer were key.

Pom-Pom mom is awesome and have chatted with her a few times at our home games. I listen to away games with the Jevin broadcast and you can hear her in the background. Great asset for the guys when they are on the road.

I've tried the JPS route, but the "time delay" bugs me...coupled w/ the "ESPN 30 sec Ball/strike delay," makes for sensory confusion. Aces 2nd place headed down the MVC stretch is almost Ellis Park-like! That final series w/ ISU in TH might require the 3,000k seating @ Warn Field...
Here's hoping the MVC Post-season pits UE & ISU in opposite brackets!

I will at least point this out, the Bradley TV feed on ESPN+ was really up to speed. The camera work was professional inside the confines of the ballpark itself. I've seen a whole lot worse over the years. UE's camera crew does real nice work as well.

We had a player tossed in pre-game?
