95huskers Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Head Coach Darin Erstad, as well as seniors Chad Christensen, Rich Sanguinetti and Dylan Vogt met with the media on the sixth floor of West Stadium on Monday afternoon to discuss the upcoming 2013 season. http://www.huskers.c...1&DB_OEM_ID=100 Quote Link to comment
flatwaterfan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So it sounds like Kubat,Hander,Hirsch are the initial weekend starters. Pierce, Bummer, DeLeon are weekday starters and possible candidates to slip into the weekend role if there are any issues or we are in a tourney rotation. Vogt is the closer. I am guessing King, Howell, Chestnut are long relievers. Bublitz, Hawkins and Roeder are setup guys. Niederklein will be in there somewhere depending on his recovery. Everyone else redshirts. Catcher is wide open and they probably platoon. My guess - I am going to guess Stringer ends up the main guy over time. Lubach & Fish alternative in depending upon batting lefty vs righty. Anyone have a better guess or more info? SS is really tough to guess. I think it may end up being Peters because of a mention from Erstad but Placzek got a mention from Chad. I was hoping it was Edrington... Gotta go with the senior all things being close to equal? Peters probably has an edge offensively where he can bat 9th and bunt our leadoff hitter over and be a little tougher out in the last spot since he has being exposed to college pitching for 4 years. (Thats my theory) Peters may not have the range or arm of the other two?. (Have no idea..) but he should be a solid glove. Anyone have a better read or insight to the situation? Everything else is pretty much known. Quote Link to comment
bravesfanatic4 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I was thinking Lubach was the favorite to win the catcher job, but everything is unknown... Quote Link to comment

Gives us another lefty in the lineup. Can't wait for the season. Could be something like this... 1) Pritchard (L) 2) Rich (L) 3) Kelly ® 4) Chad ® 5) Sheffert ® 6) Darby (L) 7) Kash ® 8) lubach (L) 9) Peters ® Sometimes I wonder if they should spread out the lefties at the top of the lineup. Could do this 1) Rich (L) 2) Peters ® 3) Pritch (L) 4) Chad ® 5) Kelly ® 6) Darby (L) 7) Sheffert ® 8) Kash ® 9) Luback (L) Quote Link to comment
