Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Huskers lose 9-7 Wasn't able to listen to the game, but I was following along on another board... Sounds like things got a little heated towards the end of the game. Maybe a little controversy as well... Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I lost a lot of respect for Wichita State for that 8th inning. Stephenson was allowed to do whatever he well pleased all game, and the umps were more than happy to cater to his every wish. Maybe he's dying, I don't know. But that was a joke.

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 That's pretty much what I had heard. Regardless, we need to find some pitching... some how, some way... Any hopes of post-season play are looking rather dim at this point. That said, I'm not ready to give up on this team yet. It's a rebuilding year. We're only half-way through this season and anything can happen. Our next 8 games are at home, so hopefully we can get some mojo back... Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm not worried about the postseason yet, the 2007 team only won 29 games in the regular season and made the NCAA tournament. There are 27 games left before the Big XII tournament, I doubt Joe Broekemeier will be starting any of them. Nebraska's relief pitching gave up 4 runs tonight, 2 after the umpires bent to Stephenson's will and overturned a ruling. So if Nebraska can play .500 ball (which they did against 3 top 15 teams this past stretch), I would think their RPI would be fine. Quote Link to comment

Didn't we lose something like 7 pitchers after 2007? I was really disappointed in how we finished the season last year, after starting out so well, so maybe this year we peak at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment

But Thad Weber didn't sign after 2007. And then we lost another 5 pitchers to graduation and the draft after 2008... Only three pitchers returning with any meaningful experience... I'd call that a rebuilding year. Maybe not for the whole team, but definitely the pitching staff. Quote Link to comment
HuskersNC949597 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 It's not just 5 pitchers either, it's Johnny Dorn, Thad Weber, Dan Jennings, guys who VERY reliable and were great leaders for the pitching staff last season. So a dropoff was expected. Somebody has to step up and lead by example and throw strikes and go a complete game without hitting a batter Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 You nailed it, man. Like Mike Nesseth. I wouldn't mind him moving back into the starting rotation. Quote Link to comment
