    2 outs, 2 straight hits to the top of the wall in left field off of pinch hitters, guys on 2nd and 3rd to tie it up, bring in another PH and three straight strikes, chasing the last one into the dirt after 2 right down he middle to end the game. 6-4

    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.

  2. 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? <_<

    7 plus runs again huh?   not so much.

    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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    Lol, bats have been asleep all day.  We have 8 free passes, 5 hits & an error that gave us 2 runs.

    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.

    The only negative tonight was the 2nd straight poor outing by Timmerman. The young man has electric stuff, but he is struggling to miss bats right now. The coaches may have to reshuffle who they want in late game bullpen roles until Timmerman figures it out.

    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 :dunno

    Pretty excellent week last week. No real qualms splitting the series with Wichita State as they should be a pretty decent club this year and it allowed Harrahill to get an early taste of big time baseball. I expect him to be sharper in his next outing if they give him the ball again this week against NDSU.

    They're starting McConnaughey on Tuesday and Walsh on Wednesday.

    Congratulations to Fred, but completely BS. Painter had the best player in the country the past 2 years, predicted to win the Big 10, expected to be a 1 seed in big dance….so, he does exactly what was laid out…. Huskers come out of relatively nowhere, finish 3rd, make the dance for the first time in a decade, suffer NO quad 3-4 losses (which may be the most impressive stat), AND I know it has no bearing, but we won head to head! Explain the rationale, other than the Big 10 continues to screw Neb, from a schedule standpoint in most sports and officiating. I know that last sentence is petty, but Fred deserves it outright 

    Painter took the 436th ranked recruit in the nation and made him the National Player of the Year. Nebraska beat up cream-puffs while Purdue played a f***ing gauntlet in non-conference. The share is perfectly earned by both.

    Honestly, I think both programs will throw everything they have at this setting because it doesn't appear we'll have a game tomorrow. (Unless the start time is moved up)

     

    15% chance of rain. I'm. . .pretty sure they'll get it in.

    Not sure I understand what we do sometimes with pitching changes. Pitcher allowed 2 hits to get guys on 2nd and 3rd in the 8th, gets to two outs, then we pull him and his replacement immediately gives up 3 runs through something like 4 hits. What was once a comfortable game, is now getting really tight. 8-6 bottom 8th with 2 outs.

     

    Guy got pulled and his replacement gets the last out.

    It's not really Brockett's fault Carey ate an inning-ending ground ball for no good freaking reason.
