Spin Posted April 24, 2024 Report Posted April 24, 2024 (edited) If you like water, there are a lot of places to enjoy it here. The mile long pier in downtown Lorain is a really nice walk (even though it’s only a half mile one way). Put “Oasis Marinas” in your gps. Downtown Lorain is making a comeback. There are several parks and beaches along the shore in Sheffield Lake and Avon Lake. You’ll never run out of places to eat and shop. It’s been fun living here. If only the Zips were coming to the tourney… Edited April 24, 2024 by Spin 1 Quote
zippy-claws Posted April 30, 2024 Report Posted April 30, 2024 What a great Saturday/Sunday performance. Saturday's 7th and 8th inning explosions really rocked the Broncos and what a great game pitched by Jared Schaeffer. Then Sunday we started to make plans to leave Skeeles and catch a late lunch when WMU got up 7 to 1 (I know, ye of little faith) but we sat on our blanket and watched the Zips go nuts in the bottom of the 2nd for 7 and never looked back (well, sort of never. Pitching limited the Broncos to a run here and there, and we saw a lot of balls leave the park. My only question is why Coach Fualds pitched to CJ Richmond??? He kept hitting it everywhere and out of here. Anyway, 2 big wins! 1 Quote
Spin Posted May 2, 2024 Report Posted May 2, 2024 (edited) Zips in the Pros after one month Chris Bassett has a 2-5 record with a 5.45 ERA, 34 K’s, and a 1.68 ERA. I haven’t been able to catch him on the tube yet this season. JT Brubaker’s career is still on hold, although he was traded by the Pirates to the Yankees. He recently started throwing off a mound and the team is looking at him being active after the All Star break. The Yanks are a half game out of first. Looks like there’s a good chance he’ll be playing late into the fall [fingers crossed]. Edited May 2, 2024 by Spin Typo 1 Quote
Spin Posted May 5, 2024 Report Posted May 5, 2024 (edited) The good guys win again in Central Michigan, they’re 8-3 in the last eleven games. This team is putting it together. I would not be disappointed if they continued this run and earned a trip up here on the 22nd. It would be a nIce to have the underclass experience that. (not criticizing the seniors by any means). They’ve all definitely put the work in and deserve more games. Edited May 6, 2024 by Spin Clarification 3 Quote

He was on Chris Rose Rotation talking about pitcher health… https://youtu.be/zGsin-uz8OQ?si=9-Gz1qhKsyPlpaLl Quote
Spin Posted May 8, 2024 Report Posted May 8, 2024 (edited) Chris left the mound with. 3 run lead giving up 1 run in 6.3 innings. That should be good for a W, but I’m headed outside for awhile. Edited May 8, 2024 by Spin 2 Quote
Spin Posted May 10, 2024 Report Posted May 10, 2024 Well the good guys built a nice 8-2 lead going into the 8th before the bullpen puked up 8 runs. Well, there’s always game two. Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted May 13, 2024 Report Posted May 13, 2024 Sounds like baseball has a good financial backing. 3 Quote
Spin Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 (edited) If you’re looking for something to watch (since the Zips didn’t make the MAC tourney), Chris Bassett has shut out the White Sox for four innings so far. Toronto batters handed him a comfortable 9 run lead. Edited May 23, 2024 by Spin Oops Quote
Spin Posted May 23, 2024 Report Posted May 23, 2024 Chris pitched 7 shutout innings spacing out 5 hits to (hopefully) take the win. His record should be 4-6 after tonight. 1 Quote

Let'sGoZips94 Posted June 4, 2024 Report Posted June 4, 2024 Incredible. I love the money coming into athletics. Gives me hope. Quote
72 Roo Posted June 4, 2024 Report Posted June 4, 2024 Fantastic news! Now our baseballs will be playing with the same number of schollies our opponents have. Things look very bright for this once destroyed program. Good news is always welcome, but more so in this time of little Zip information. Quote
