That can't happen on a consistent occurrence. Sure, call it freshman jitters but if he's going to solidify his position he can't give up runs. He came in with one down and a runner on 1st and gives up a double down the line allowing Baylor to tie the game. Perry and Daiss both pitched 1 inning each and both gave up a hit resulting in added pitches to arms.. Late inning pitchers are expected to throw 1, 2, 3 innings and turn it over to the next. Giving up hits often come back and bite you. Happy it didn't today but to say the guys were "fantastic" is stretching it but yes, I agree, the team pitching looked solid enough to be joyously hopeful. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Caught part of the radio, and I couldn't watch any of the linked vids or anything, but glad to see we executed across the board. Too early to say that we're better in all three phases this year...but even if we take a slight step back in offense and make a large leap in pitching, we'll reap larger dividends in the long term.

Maybe fantastic is a little over zealous, but to complain is being pretty nit-picky as they allowed 1 run in the first outing with a guy who was in the pen ( admittedly misused by coaches), a freshman in a leverage situation, and KP who didn’t throw amazing last year. Compared to last year in San Diego, this was fantastic. I understand that the opponent wasn’t SDSU, but if told you going in that we would allow 1 run, I am betting that 99.9 of us would be ok saying fantastic. Again, maybe a slight stretch, but closer to fantastic than solid. One double away, allowed by a freshman from a shut out . Maybe I am just referencing the performance compared to the “expectations “ rather than just simply looking at number of hits. Quote Link to comment

I'm also every bit as optimistic about today as you. Feels so freaking good to be 1 and 0 baby!! Hoping to be 2 and 0 after tomorrow but Tech is a whole different monster. Quote Link to comment

SDU* The pitching last year in that San Diego series was abysmal, and SDU ended up 24-25-1, so not that much better than Baylor perhaps Obviously it's only one game so we'll see, but a good opener beats losin'.

Oh I almost forgot - it's way too early to rationalize. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Huskers hanging tough ! 3-3 bottom of 6. We are the home team Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 2nd & 3rd with 1 out & could not score. 3 to 3 thru 6. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Had a chance. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, but strike out, fly out ends inning. Walsh went 5.2…. 3 runs…. 0 walks, which is Childress’ mantra. Offense doing enough to keep us in it 1 Quote Link to comment
