HANC

I voted for the Baseball team. I understand that the volleyball team has been the premier program at Nebraska and in the country, but for the purposes of this voting, I consider the VB day as a “staged” event, planned and orchestrated. The actual performance hands down goes to the baseball teams unlikely tournament run to win the title.

Good call! 4th round to Mariners! Who is next?

Who will be the first Husker drafted? Carey Sears Caron Christo or incoming recruit

I voted for the basketball on the third, but I completely agree with you on Iowa tanking, but our ladies still had to hit shots and I just remember the arena going crazy. But, you have a very valid point!!

Correct on position players being excited. Can’t go into details ( bc I don’t know exactly why), but Harvell isn’t a player favorite to say the least.

Another All-American Award for Sears. Baseball America 2nd Team All American. 5th All American list he is on, along with District player of year and Big 10 pitcher of the year. Highest award by a starting Husker pitcher since 2003.

4 for 4…. Made every possible list!

Add another All-American Award for Sears. 2nd team from the Coaches.

Sears named to two different All-American teams so far. 2nd team on both…. Highest All-American team honor for any Husker staring pitcher since 2003. I stated he would be one of the most decorated players in history. Not done, because Coaches team announced later this week

Personally, I say “nothing”, as neither is Mason Mac….A lot of pitchers either don’t play or play only 1/2 season. Sears only played until the mid season point last summer, then some guys don’t actually show up until mid summer. The more concerning part is that rumor is that he may likely get drafted, so a decision will have to be made.

This is fantastic. I am sure that if we don’t advance out of regional play, some will be pissy and badmouth this group and staff. You can’t ignore the fact that this team was picked 5th in the league, finished runner up in reg season and won the tournament title, have the Big 10 POY-Golden Spikes finalist (Sears) and Buster Posey finalist (Caron). I vividly remember, when the pitching rotation for the opening weekend was announced, many on different social media platforms said …. “This will be a long season “ and other doubting comments concerning staff… those same people are now eating crow as this staff has put up numbers we haven’t seen in a long time….. I am not saying that we should be satisfied at the University of Nebraska with just reaching regional play, bc that isn’t enough….but this particular group of Huskers deserves a ton of credit for what they did!

This isn’t good. Florida putting barrel on ball. HR was product of ballpark, but still came on an 0-2 count. Sears doesn’t look comfortable with his normal fiery self. That would tell me he is tight

As much as I may play it like you have laid out, hearing Sears will throw game 1.

Let’s go!!! Congratulations!!! Brockett was outstanding and Sears deserved a chance to finish

Brocket rolling! This is more than anyone could have asked for in a 6 game/6 day scenario from our pitching staff

Starting pitchers typically have 6 days rest and rehab (bullpen sessions), to fully recover. Pitchers are also very routine oriented. This is for their effectiveness and health. Sears will lobby for time today, but more than likely they will not use him

Just said the same thing. Way too many pitches up in the zone

Brockett is the name circulating, but nothing official

Lol, Sears says on Big 10, that nothing was working tonight. He only had a fastball. His other stuff was way off. Nice to have nothing working and get 9k and only allow 1 run

Christo also rolling. 3 more outs

Sears was great again after a little rocky start. Add another quality start for him! 9 k in 6 innings. Now it’s up to the pen. Christo on in 7th

Sears is Big 10 Pitcher of the Year and first team All Big 10 Mason Mac second team Stone 2nd team Sanderson 3rd team and All Freshman team

I don’t completely disagree with you. Makes total sense. I do know Sears is throwing game 2. Wed or Thursday would give him his normal break, but having additional days would not hurt
