WACO, Texas -- Jim Grobe enjoys all the things that go with coaching, that until now he hasnt really been able to do as Baylors acting head coach.This has been far from the typical buildup to a season for the 64-year-old veteran coach who only three months ago took over when two-time Big 12 champion coach Art Briles was suddenly dismissed.Weve spent a lot of time talking about things that have to be talked about, no question. We had to deal with a lot of serious issues, Grobe said Monday. But now its kind of more light-hearted because were getting ready to play a game. And so its fun.Briles was quickly removed, and the schools president and athletic director later left as well, following the May release of a report alleging that the university mishandled complaints of sexual assault, including some against football players.After winning 50 games the past five seasons, the 23rd-ranked Bears get a fresh start Friday night in their season opener at home against Northwestern State.Ive been waiting on it all summer, junior linebacker Taylor Young said. When its time to play everybody is excited about it. We want to win every minute, every day. Thats the mindset right now.Grobe, who won an ACC title with Wake Forest 10 years ago, was in semiretirement and out of coaching for two seasons when he got a call to help Baylor through a trying time.From his first days on the Waco campus, Grobe said players would be held accountable for any off-field issues. He also promised that university officials would be involved in more serious cases, and that no longer would the football coaches and staff solely handle discipline in such instances.On Monday, Grobe said he was waiting for university officials to make their ruling on any discipline for sophomore receiver Ishmael Zamora before deciding what to do from a football perspective. The coach had hoped for a resolution last week.Zamora was cited by Waco police for a misdemeanor charge after a video surfaced of him beating his dog with a belt this summer.I think we were criticized in the past for not having a process, and now were following that process, Grobe said. Its important that we strive to understand that were dealing with a young person here, and its critical that were fair and reasonable in our decision.While Zamora is listed as a starter on the initial depth chart released Monday, Grobe said the receiver wouldnt play Friday night if there isnt a decision from the university by then.Grobe said the depth chart was put together last week based on how the kids have performed this summer, and not with any thoughts of potential discipline.Junior safety Chance Waz, a returning starter, wasnt on the two-deep chart. When asked about Waz, Grobe said only that he wouldnt play the first two games because of a discipline issue with the university.After taking the job, Grobe kept all of Briles assistant coaches in an effort to keep things as consistent as possible on the field for the players. He was given the authority to make any necessary changes, but said he is glad he kept intact a group of coaches he called really good teachers who care for the players.This has been a very unusual situation obviously and especially for me in that in the past I had more input. ... Ive had to rely on our coaching staff quite a bit as far as the Xs and Os are concerned, and Ive relied on them primarily to kind of stack the guys up first-, second- and third-team, Grobe said. As we go forward I think I may be more involved, but I really couldnt do that until we start playing games and I see how the kids perform and how things go in competition.

SAN DIEGO -- Philadelphia Phillies right-fielder Delmon Young says Ben Revere is not the type of player to give up. "Hes had to fight for everything his whole life, hes not going to give up on an at-bat with a chance to win the game there," Young said. The left-handed hitting Revere battled through an eight-pitch at-bat against left-hander Tommy Layne before hitting a grounder to second with the game tied 5-5 in the 13th inning. San Diegos Logan Forsythe bobbled Reveres grounder and then threw home wildly, leading to two unearned runs in Philadelphias 7-5 win Wednesday night. Chase Utley, who was hit by a pitch, and Domonic Brown, who walked against Layne (0-2) scored the decisive runs. Forsythe bounced a throw as he tried to prevent Utley from scoring. The ball bounced away from catcher Nick Hundley, allowing Brown to score also. "The ball was in the hole," said Forsythe. "I tried to get to it before the lip (of the grass). I misplayed it and made the error. I rushed myself. I didnt know what happened with the throw afterwards." Joe Savery (1-0) worked one inning and Jonathan Papelbon got the final three outs for his 15th save in 19 chances. The Phillies, who trailed 5-2 after six innings, rallied to tie it with an unearned run in the seventh and two runs in the eighth on a two-run home run by Delmon Young off Luke Gregerson. "I didnt light up because I missed his first two pitches by about five feet," said Young. "Those were both balls, but the one I hit was a strike. I didnt hear the noise off the bat and just the way (Carlos) Quentin approached the ball and playing in San Diego I thought it was just going to be one of those high deep flies that gets everyone on their feet and then the groans right afterwards." Chris Denorfia had given the Padres a 4-2 lead with a two-run homer in the fifth. San Diego added a run in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Chase Headley and Kyle Blanks. Phillies starter Cole Hamels allowed five runs -- four earned -- and seven hits. He walked two and struck out five in six innings, avoiding the distinction of becoming the firrst Phillies pitcher to lose 12 games before July.dddddddddddd "The guys really picked me up," said Hamels, who had won five consecutive games against the Padres with a 0.73 ERA. Padres rookie Robbie Erlin, called up from Triple-A Tucson earlier Wednesday, pitched 6 1-3 innings. He gave up three runs -- two earned -- and four hits. He struck out seven and walked only one. Erlin left the game after giving up a single to Brown and striking out Delmon Young in the seventh. The Phillies got within one with an unearned run in the seventh on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen after right fielder Kyle Blanks dropped a foul ball for an error on what would have been the final out of the inning. Nick Vincent, who gave up Frandsens hit, walked Jimmy Rollins to load the bases. But Joe Thatcher got Utley to ground out to end the threat. The Phillies scored single runs in the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. Michael Youngs RBI double off the wall in left-centre scored Utley. Carlos Ruiz drove in the Phillies second run with a sacrifice fly. The Padres tied it with two runs in the third.
