Spin Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) There's enough chatter about Zip Baseball (and alumni) to warrant a yearly thread. IMHO. Yes there's at least six inches of snow on the ground at the moment, but college baseball is a month away. This season the ball team makes a trip to warmer weather (Tennessee and Georgia) for the first couple weeks. Then a weekend in Louisville before getting into MACtion. Throw in a couple games against BW, Malone, and as zippy-claws mentioned, a Monday night game at Canal Park against Georgia Tech and we have 15 non-conference games, 55 games in all. All depending on how COVID continues to shred the sports schedules. The Zips in the Pros. The latest rumors have Chris Bassett being traded to the Yankees, a favorite to win the AL East. No rumblings yet about a JT trade, but here's a nice article on Fansided to read while waiting for the snow plows to clear the streets.

Spin Posted February 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 The Zips open the season a little later than last year, traveling to Nashville for a 3 game weekend series against Lipscomb. The Bisons were 8-13 (18-29) finishing 6th in the D1 Atlantic Sun Conference. The ASC is not a baseball powerhouse so this should be a good warmup series before facing Georgia and Louisville. Theres quite a few additions to the roster this year, with not many players leaving. A refreshing change from Season One where a coach went rogue and took his favorite players with him. All systems are “go” so far for having a 2022 MAC Baseball Tournament for the first time in two years. CMU was the last tournament champion. Here’s a video to watch while waiting for warmer weather, featuring a MAC opponent. https://d1baseball.com/d1-players-society/maction-a-day-in-the-life-with-ball-state-baseball/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Gozips.com the staff has been the same since Akron baseball was revived Assistant coach Jordan Banfield left to take the head job at Oakland, the Zips’ first opponent in 2020. And he took a few guys with him. Sabo is the only coach remaining from the original coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 I tune into the YouTube radio broadcast and the very first words are “after the first, it’s Lipscomb 3 and Akron nothing.” 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) They got a nice W today to salvage the series. 1-2 now Edited February 20, 2022 by zippy5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spin Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 The Zips are doing better in conference play than in non-con (2-0 vs. 2-5) and 2-0 at home. Was kind of expecting going o'fer against #20 Georgia and powerhouse Louisville. But dropping 2 to Lipscomb was a surprise. First place in the MAC at the moment... Now if it ever quits SNOWING in NEOhio we can get out to the ballpark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
