Still fun to go to Avon, even if Zips not playing.  Great venue, fun town, MAC B-ball ain't bad either.

 

Very nice. I've seen a few Crushers games there.

There's a lot going on there

[zippy5]

Much better

Agreed. I wish more of our teams would bring back the gold colored uni's. Although this isn't exactly gold it is much better than black, gray or white. I'm very hopeful that the baseball program will deliver a winner sooner than later. I like the way they are developing the program.

It's just like watching a human fetus develop.

The former single cell baseball team has just split into two cells; man am I excited about its development..

It's not often you can see a college program develop from day one. 

 

Although given a choice I would probably take seeing how the team developed under Rick Rembielak. Even though we would still be watching home games at the middle school-quality retention basin.

Nice, JT Brubaker - 2 shutout innings https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=401225715

 

 

[zippy5]

Great to see. He was the Bucs minor league pitcher of the year then missed all of last year. He had some nasty stuff tonight, he might turn out to be a good one

[Spin]

Chris Bassett starts for the A’s today at 3:40. I’m at work, will catch up with him later.

[zippy5]

4 shutout innings

[Spin]

Welp. I already lost track of the "kids" with everything else going on.

 

So I bookmarked a couple links to check in on our fellow alum when we have a moment

The game is not scheduled on MLB or the Fox channels. But the CATV schedules often change.

I found some much better sources to get game by game stats.

 

Chris Bassett game logs

 

JT Brubaker game logs

 

MLB upcoming starters

 

Akron Zips alumni

 

It's hard to tell how many other Zips are active in the minor leagues and independant leagues, with everything being shut down. it looks like Devan Ahart and James Meeker would still be active. it looks like Dom Iero hung up the spikes.

[Spin]

There’s a 50/50 chance Chris’ game will be on MLB Network at 4:00.

[Spin]

JT Brubaker gets his second start against the Tribe tonight. The game is on STO at 7:00.

FORMER ZIPS BASSITT AND BRUBAKER FINDING SUCCESS ON MLB STAGE

[Blue & Gold]

 

[zippy5]

His curveball is nasty

 

 

[Blue & Gold]

 

[Spin]

No more splinters!!! LOL. 

[Sergeant Zip]

JT Brubaker (1-3, 4.46 ERA) will get the nod in the finale.

Oakland’s Chris Bassett finished the season a very respectable 5-2 1.78 with 55 K’s and a 1.159 WHIP. He has quickly become Oakland’s ace.

 

Pittsburgh’s JT Brubaker finished 1-2 4.94 with 48 K’s and a 1.37 WHIP. 
 

Very respectable. The future looks bright for our Zips in MLB.
