I see that the Indiana games are listed as being on BTN+. Does that mean that they are only available streaming on the paid BTN+ app, or will they also be available for cable subscribers on one of the BTN channels?

Assuming that you'll have to subscribe for their service to view on BTN+. If I had to guess I'd say this is a similar model to ESPN+ where a cable subscription doesn't grant you access.

Have any of OUr games been broadcasted on ESPN+ this year?

Some of the away games have been. The home games are simply on YouTube. Not high quality but free for everyone.

Big Ten plus costs $9.95/month, though I think free trials are available through other streaming services.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I’ll try a free trial.

Good to know, I wonder why we have moved away from broadcasting home games on ESPN+. I swear I've watched them on there in the past.

Swept at Indiana, but whatever. Just a reminder that MAC baseball is not Big Ten baseball. Almost pulled out a win in game #1 and the other 2 were not close.

Throwaway game with Shawnee and then it's on to the biggest 6 games of the year with Kent & Ball St.

Would've like to avoid the sweep just to keep the confidence up heading into a tough stretch to end the year.

Pitching struggles bad enough against the MAC. Stood little chance against Indiana, but the offense almost did enough in the first game. Had two runs on in the ninth.

But with what happened in league games, the Bobcats moved into a four-way tie for first place. Kent State, Ball State and Central Michigan all are 13-5. The Chippewas actually are in great shape to win the regular season title, having won 7 of 9 against the other three teams, whereas the other three all have series against one another. Western Michigan at 10-7 is next and could challenge for the fourth MAC tournament spot if one of the above falters, but its remaining schedule (Toledo, Kent State, Ohio, Central Michigan) is pretty tough too.
