    I can live with that. The usual suspects had trouble on the mound, offense picked them up just enough.

    The program's momentum was completely killed long ago and needs everything it can get to restore any of it. Regional action = recruiting ammo, and more experience for young guys like Edrington, Placzek, Chesnut et al in high pressure situations. If the team sweeps the Big 10 tournament then they will have earned it as much as all the other teams in the field of 64 who WILL have losing records that won their horrible conference's tournaments (if Nebraska wins at least 2 of their next 4 reg. season games and sweeps the B1G Tournament, they will be at or above .500). This is all a big if, of course, as the team is still too inconsistent to realistically expect 3 solid games in a row

    you are probably right. i am assuming that erstad thinks, and rightfully so, the only way the huskers make the NCAA tournament is to win the conference tournament. as a consequence, the three weekend starters won't play much if any on Tuesday. however, if they started Kubat or Bummer, that would give them either 4 or 5 days rest before they pitched again. i would probably go with Bummer as Kubat has only been back a month and will really need him for the Big 10 tournament. oh well, we will see. Nebraska's not throwing any weekend starters on Tuesday. That would only give them 3-4 days rest for the Michigan series (Thu.-Fri.-Sat.). Nebraska will start somebody like Pierce or Niederklein, while King, Chesnut, Howell, Hoppes and Hawkins will probably all enter the game at some point. Dylan Vogt and Josh Roeder might face a batter or two or three just for kicks. This game is meaningless, as you say.

    Badly. Forced bad swings with pitches a half-foot off the plate being called strikes. I know, but Nebraska made too many mistakes (not getting the bunt down in the first, the base running error by Pritchard, etc) and shouldn't allowed it to come down to the 9th. The pitches to the backstop (whether wild or passed), also. But a fair shake in the 9th shouldn't have been too much to ask, either; they might have had a shot to redeem themselves.

    :clap That was a really good effort against a great starting pitcher.

    Great job, bats.

    10-2 final Not totally indicative of the weekend, Saturday's game was decided by a bad call at third by the umpire and then a questionable decision by Will Bolt. Pretty close game otherwise.

    I'll take DeLeon in a Sunday role over Brian Rodaway. DeLeon's not a Friday guy, but with Kubat out most of the year, they didn't have much choice. The larger issue is confidence and the loser mentality cultivated by the previous staff :|
  12. HuskersNC949597
    Wow, that terrible call by the 3rd base umpire is the difference right now. Indiana should only have 6 runs.
  13. HuskersNC949597
    They didn't move the start time. It was originally scheduled for 6:05 p.m. on BTN all season. Now, if it stays cold, snowy and crappy all week, maybe they should move it to afternoon.
  14. HuskersNC949597
    Couldn't get a clutch hit to save their life in this game.
  15. HuskersNC949597
    Thing is, some of the younger guys (Howell, Chesnut) did better than the upperclassmen tonight (Niederklein, Pierce, King, even Vogt.) Howell did give up 2 hits and Chesnut 2 walks, but they managed their stress better than the older guys and didn't give up any runs. I think it's time a few of them move on
  16. HuskersNC949597
    Exactly why coach Erstad talks about not getting too low and definitely not too high. Pitching depth wasn't totally cured with Kubat's return, and going 5-0 against teams that don't hit the ball all that well didn't mean the #1 hitting team in the country was going to roll over. Erstad made it clear what the philosophy was going to be tonight on the mound: giving game action to try and help some of these guys, and they don't seem to be responding
  17. HuskersNC949597
    Question is if the bullpen will hold it. If we can get to Vogt/Roeder as planned, maybe. Pierce may never be consistent
  18. HuskersNC949597
    KSU, pardon my nitpickery Purdue's no great shakes by any stretch, but it's great that they did their business, as Erstad said. They did their business all over their new stadium I'll quit drinking now.
  19. HuskersNC949597
    Wild pitch wild pitch wild pitch wild pitch wild pitch wild pitch. Thanks, Purdue.

    DeLeon, Bummer, Kubat in that order this weekend, announced earlier today.
  21. HuskersNC949597
    They're 2-0 on BTN/NET this season (Northwestern, Ohio State.) Nobody saw the KSU games
  22. HuskersNC949597
    Hope so, there are a lot of pitchers in the '13 and '14 recruiting classes so far.
  23. HuskersNC949597
    That was OSU's best pitcher statistically, though. He hadn't given up more than 2 runs all season. The error by Peters on what should have been an inning-ending double play gave them 1 run, then Vogt hit and walked 2 batters who ended up scoring. Sanguinetti should have hosed the game-winning run in the top of the 11th but threw to second base instead for no reason. 4-5 runs should have stuck.
  24. HuskersNC949597
    6-5 final
  25. HuskersNC949597
    Bottom of the 11th, 6-5 Ohio State.
