I know they're good. Especially good hitters. But they were up 5-0 and up 5-2 going into the 9th.

They've completely blown it.

Honestly, how Shanaman came in and got that last out in the 8th, I would have let him go back out there to try and wrap the game up.

Yeah, because he could throw something besides a fastball

He was starting to struggle

 
Hes been calling that strike all night... how the hell do you just watch that strike 3 for the 3rd out in the 9th?

 
Unacceptable. Erstad absolutely f#&%ed it

I guarantee they lose by at least a few runs tomorrow.

And what do good teams do? The find the way to win games. First time Nebraska got an opening day won since 2014. We talk about the football team needing to learn how to win but the baseball team needs to as well. Can't have it both ways guys.

Honestly, I thought about this too. But Gomes is the closer for a reason. He's got the best ERA of anyone in the bullpen. You can't fault going with him in the 9th.

And it doesn't really matter if he's a fastball reliant pitcher or not. That was the first homer he's given up all year.

Failing to see how going to your closer in the 9th inning is getting greedy.

I’m talking about taking your starter Waldren into the 7th with a 100+ pitch count that cost us two runs before relief came in. That was Erstad being greedy and trying to ride his starter longer than he should have. 

Plus the choice in relief is suspect too—wasn’t the closer Gomes a fastball thrower? Okie Lite has feasted on them all year. 

There’s no apologizing for Erstad on this one—we squandered a 5-0 lead with poor pitching management.

No.

They should have won. Period. Up 5-2 with 2 outs. Losing shouldn't happen, and it takes incredible man mismanagement to happen. 

 
Also all the fake A## Husker fans coming in here calling for the team to lose tomorrow. Get that garbage out of here.

It's baseball. Sometimes you lose tough games. Sometimes it breaks your heart. But my god some of you show your true colors quickly.
