Correct. I edited the article.
Poster mentioned on the Round Table that teams schedule a team that is close (even if it is Big Ten vs. Big Ten) instead of playing the same DII or DIII school every time.
The Michigan-Michigan St. game yesterday was non-conference. I stand corrected.
Baseball Travels to Maryland for Series with Big Ten Playoff Implications
With two weekends of conference play remaining, Rutgers baseball will take a trip down to Maryland for its final Big Ten road series of the season. The three-game set will start Friday at 6:30 p.m. from Bob Turtle Smith Stadium in College Park. BTN Plus is set to provide the coverage.

Is he definitely out for the rest of the season then? I wonder if he pitched too far into the season to get a red shirt. How about Kiernan?
There’s only two weekends left....I don’t have a clue if he comes back. Supposedly he got really sick and lost a lot of stamina. Who knows
It definitely isn’t a good scenario to be in. RU is 2 1/2 games out of 8th place with 5 to play. MSU bearing Minnesota last night didn’t help you any. Maryland is a half game ahead of you now so winning next 2 against them is required and also need Indiana to beat Nebraska the next 2 games. Nebraska won game one against Indiana so that hurt you as well. Looks like you hold the tie breaker over MSU if it would come to that. Good luck!
Actually we do, BUT, they’ll end up playing 1 less conference game so that 1/2 was already a big problem.
If the teams do not end up playing the same number of games then I think they use winning % in conference as the tie breaker. Head to head no longer counts. Pretty sure it came into effect that way last year with Nebraska and Minnesota.
This is a disgrace. Can we just win a BIG game on the road. We got swept by Illinois and Purdue and lost the first game last night to Maryland. If we lose today it will be 8 straight losses on the road in the BIG. If we don't get our act together we can still have a losing record again. I sure hope we can rise up and show something. We were 24-18 and if we lose today we will be 24-22.
Our roster is not put together to compete in the Big Ten. Maryland has players from Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, NJ, British Columbia, as well of course as Maryland. At least three of Maryland’s pitchers are from out of state. Check our Michigan’s roster, too. We recruit on a NJ county basis, other teams recruit all over the map and at JUCOs. Other teams have players competing in the Cape Cod Summer League. We fall short in leadership and digging up talent and building a solid team. We “participate”, not compete. The highlight of this season for the team and the thread contributors here was winning two of three at FGCU.

Fans have long recognized the problems with the RU sports teams but changing the status quo seems intractable.It requires better recruiting and execution during games especially on the road where the performances are very disappointing.
We are definitely struggling to the finish line. What are the excuses for not having good pitching year in and year out?
