What are the college rules for starting pitchers? Is there any logic in pulling Bothwell soon with a 5 run lead to save his arm so he can be ready again for an elimination game or Tennessee in game 3 I assume to be played Sat?? 

He had thrown 62 to start the 5th.. at that point he would have, at best, been able to throw 1 inning ish on Monday... 

Strategy today was correct. 

If 1 or 2 other things work out in that game (Bothwell doesn't give up the bomb, a couple more runs)... you could have saved Buhr. 

Buhr threw 49. 

I wouldn't be surprised to throw an inning on Sunday. Tomorrow is going to be wild. 

Foley can throw 110-120 pitches if he can execute. 9 days rest.

After 5 innings ...

Tennessee 6, Northern Kentucky 1

We play the winner at 6 p.m. tomorrow. 

[LamarCheeks 17,309]

Apparently after his duties were finished today on the diamond, Bothwell gave his sweetie pie a diamond ...

TV change: Game is on ESPNU -- not SEC Network (which is what IU's schedule initially indicated)

Is there a way to see this game by streaming...etc.?  That is if/because I/we do not have SEC Network....

TV change -- it's on ESPNU (IU's schedule initially said SEC Network, but now says ESPNU -- as does UT's website). 

But I'm certain it's also available to be streamed via ESPN.

Hoosiers with a nice +300 on the money line. Hedged it a little by also taking the +3.5 runs at -115

Looks like I get it on HULU.  Thanks.

Just completed a 3-night road trip to Nashville IN and B'town and Lake Lemon and Brown County State Park... Walked around Ogle Lake, checked Riddle Park on Lake Lemon, ate at the Uptown, checked out Lilly Library and the campus, genuflected in front of Assembly Hall, bought GF a bracelet in Nashville IN., and had a little wine...etc.  Recommend Hobnob for a really good dinner meal.  

Fired up about IU baseball!  Beat those Rebs.

Not a time to be conservative at the plate. Can't watch pitches go down the middle.

Tennessee kid just hit an absolute bomb. 

2-0 Vols in 2nd. 

If not for a Foley walk, woulda just been a solo HR.

Kid is imploding.

[LamarCheeks 17,309]

Four walks, a HBP, a balk and two 2-run HRs. 

And we're still in the top of the 2nd. 

Foley gets out of it though -- leaves bases loaded. 

[maharkn 1,626]

Mercer is absolute garbage

Jeezus -- Foley finally makes a good pitch and Curley gets a dink single. 

Clearly is not his day. 

[maharkn 1,626]

What are they waiting for, why is he still in there

4 hits (2 HRs), 5 runs, 7 walks, 2 wild pitches, 1 balk and 1 HPB on 91 pitches -- in 2 1/3 innings. 

Not a particularly stellar outing.
