Always good to get a W.

I'm out for blood now. We're setting up for another 5+ run loss and yet another series loss.

12-4 KSU in the 6th in game 2

That game continued the trend of this season not making much sense

The grace period is over. The early, close losses to good teams were one thing, recent blow-out losses to any team that bothers to show up are unacceptable. Creighton?

Word on the street, though, is that Anderson is such a crippling micromanager, Eric Newman is about ready to quit because he's sick of not being allowed to do his job the way he'd like. I've heard Anderson at the Home Run Clubs season previews several times, he's cool in public, but behind the scenes he sounds insufferable, which is why a good number of players have quit the team/been excused over his career (I don't blame him for the Wehrle situation, however, and since that happened the team's GPA has improved, much to Coach's credit.)

I was willing to give them a break early in the year, it was a harsh winter, etc. etc. The excuses are gone, this team played like crap and is as inconsistent as they were last year without the draft to blame. The team is much more talented then the record would indicate. I don't like revolving door coaching situations, but Anderson is doing progressively less with more

11-9 OSU final. Roualdes pitched well in a season-long outing (~4 innings, no runs), so I credit the coaches for letting him roll today, but it was too late at that point, down 11-4. The bats tried to climb back in it but hit into at least 3 double plays, wasting several more bases-loaded opportunities.

And now game 3 will be up to the bullpen. Great.

10-run rule OSU tomorrow and let Lemke get another complete game, all is well.

Roualdes dominated OSU last year, they're mostly lefties to my knowledge, I don't know, I don't see why we can't leave him in there.

Why bring Hauptman in now? Let Roualdes go as long as possible with an 8 run lead.

Mariot kept Nebraska in it as long as he could, 4 runs in 6 innings against OSU in that crappy stadium is good enough. The offense was terrible, loading the bases with 0 outs and scoring 0 runs and going straight off a cliff from there.

Luckiest shot ever for UK there.

They left an insane amount of runners on base in game two

No sugar coating this, this game sucked. Bad pitching from Lemke and Yost, Nesseth was a stud. Go figure. Still, NU was as good or better than #2 Texas for 2 of 3 games, just beat themselves in game 1

I'll stop short of calling tomorrow's game a must-win, but to get it done would really be a shot in the arm for the rest of the year. They have to know they can beat anyone at this point. I don't believe there are any pitching staffs left the caliber of UT's.

Chase Adams closes it out as expected, if they had just brought in Roualdes last night, I believe we're in position for a sweep tomorrow. Them's the breaks.

Lose to Rice 4-3, UCLA 5-4 and 5-3, now tonight. 5 runs from 4 wins over highly ranked teams Not to mention the 1-2 run losses to Fresno. I'm hoping they turn it around like '07: conference series wins down the stretch + their current strength of schedule ranking (4th) will be enough to get to the postseason.

Wow, another 1-run loss to a top 10 team on the road. Giller had done more than enough and should have been pulled.

Other staffs have done a good job shutting Texas down, even Iowa managed it for 3 of their 4 games against the horns (10 runs total through 3 games. Then 18 in game 4.) This despite the fact that Texas hasn't even left their home state all year, traveling as far away as Houston I wish we had that sort of luxury, not to mention their weenie early schedule. But Texas has some good pitching, the likes of which NU has been impotent against since mid-2006, so we could lose all 3 games 1-0

If the coaches think he's the best we have at closer, I doubt they would have brought him in for the 7th inning against South Dakota State on a Tuesday game after using him sparingly the previous weekend against Houston Baptist. I believe Chase Adams will probably assume the role more often.

Mariot pitched circles around him today ;p Of course it's just Houston Baptist. Oh well, after losing to a god-awful Cal-Bakersfield team last season, I'll take any wins we can get

I wouldn't go that far. Seemed to me A&M was hitting every shot (some of that was poor defense), while NU was short on a ton of shots (NU also missed at least 10 free throws I think, and the final margin of victory was 10, hm.) 30 wins in a row is hard to do, it's basketball. It was bound to happen.
