Walsh on cruise control. Good time for it, but would prefer he do this every start, not just now and then

When Clark hits the wall, he hits it hard. Huskers now going to be forced to use the even worse bullpen guys as this one is over.

McConnaughey getting blasted does not bode well for tomorrow.

McConnaughey's turn. Maryland pitching is worse than Rutgerseses. Put up 16 again on a Saturday, please. Beat the twerps.

That was kinda unfair for Bolt to put a true freshman hitting .200 in that spot. I'm not actually of any belief he threw the game, but still it makes no sense to put Max there when you've got other guys with more experience. They clearly wanted a lefty and were down to two guys who can bat left-handed: Max Buettenback and Joshua Overbeek. Unless I missed an injury report for Josh, put him the f*** in there.

Will Bolt has not won a regular season series with Rutgers. The closest he got was the 2 wins in the pod in 2021 but that was after RU came to Lincoln and stomped a mudhole in Bolt's team for 3 games, just as they had cracked the top 25 rankings. Sound familiar?

So you haven't watched this team? Gave up 9 to Ohio State last Sunday, most of it in the 9th inning. 7 on Sunday to Northwestern. Gave up 7 on a Sunday to South Alabama, 8 to Grand Canyon, 7 to OU. Rutgers still has time to score more here unless Sanders can do his job, but anyone who doesn't trust Nebraska’s pitching depth is hardly going out on a limb.

Playing their way to a 2 or 3-seed probably at the #1 overall team in the tournament. Fans will declare that the NCAA disrespects us, rather than look at the fact that the team can't hold a 3-run lead against a Big 10 opponent that just lost 5 of their first 6 conference games.

Not good. Bolt really screwed the pooch on the pitching staff for 4 years.

Glad they won the series obviously, but in the last 4 games, they've only scored 3 runs in 3 of them (7 yesterday, I know), and have been chasing a few too many sliders that are about 10 feet out of the strike zone. Clean that up.

If only the other guys could be as consistently reliable to go 6+ innings as Sears.

5-3 final. Nebraska strikes out 14 times, with a whole lot of those chasing pitches that, if I heard the radio crew correctly, were bouncing in. Jeebus, Bolt.

Whew. Sweeps are big.

More mind-boggling, inconceivable defense by Northwestern to rob a run

Not exactly, they were launching missiles early on but Northwestern plays out-of-their mind defense. Now it's just weak AB after weak AB.

Really disappointed in the bats disappearance. Hope the bullpen has enough left in the tank, should be a few options for Childress.

They just canceled the game. https://twitter.com/HuskerBaseball/status/1771923316564967734?t=2UrS-5EMjGs6s1fg_G1XnA&s=19

Managed to pull it out. Yikes.

Blowing a 17-point lead...good lord. Still up 2, but jiminy chrimbus.

Disappointed the Husker baseball twitter didn't post video of Sanders' glove work. Oh well. More kool aid for a midweek W

He was fine in the 6th. For whatever reason, trying to get a few of the guys to pitch in one inning, go back to the dugout, then come back for the next frame, is just too much to ask right now

just one snifter of kool-aid this evening, it's a work night after all.

They're starting McConnaughey on Tuesday and Walsh on Wednesday. https://huskers.com/news/2024/03/18/bsb-preview-vs-omaha-and-ndsu
