Did you know you can watch the play by play on the Valpo athletics website? I did, but thanks for the effort anyway!

jetz · March 30, 2012, 06:43:17 PM

I assume you're talking Gametracker. Sometimes Gametracker freezes or gets very slow. I probably won't be able to do updates as often tomorrow or Sunday, as I'm also taking pix and video for the Horizon League and cooking on a grill for Valpo parents. Pretty busy, and if my son plays I dump all of that to watch. Hope someone benefitted from the updates today. A shame we didn't win, but other than a baserunning mistake in our big inning, we really played pretty solidly.

StlVUFan · March 30, 2012, 08:04:41 PM

I couldn't even get scoretracker to work on my work computer, so I very much appreciated the updates.

valporun · March 31, 2012, 07:42:45 AM

jetz, your updates, whether Gametracker works or not, are good because might get more of a real feel of what was going on as you update, and it could allow us to get some idea of what is going on that Gametracker can't tell us.

jetz · March 31, 2012, 10:22:35 AM

Sounds like I should do the updates again today. I will stay away from the play by play and try to give stuff that you don't get on Gametracker. If Gametracker quits or freezes, ask here for more play by play and I'll try to give it.

In reviewing yesterday's game, Deetjen started rough with 5 ER in the first two, but then settled in and shut down the Raider batters. We ran ourselves out of an inning in the seventh when Vavra got too aggressive and tried to go from first to third when it wasn't available. If I was to nitpick, I'd also say that two hits out to left that led to 3 runs might have been caught with a max risk diving effort. Hagel played both balls safely, allowing them to drop in front of him on one hop. To be fair, he may not have been able to make either play, but it seemed like he let up early on both balls. No errors for us in the game, and really we won innings 3-9 easily. Another close game gets away--we must have a dozen one or two run games this year.

Sorry in advance for the misspellings in the updates today--the dictation app hears "rides date" instead of "Wright State"--

First of all, you and your app could still make a killing in the Close Captioning market

Second, so far, it's not been that hard to decipher. I'm amazed that you can sit with other fans and dictate into your phone without feeling self-conscious about it.

jetz · March 31, 2012, 12:06:27 PM

Yeah I do not do these updates near any people I get away from the crowd when I doing them. I'm here at the field now it's in the high 30s here forecast temperature 58° for a high will be lucky to make it it's overcast but not too windy ---a gloves and hat day
