hskrfan4life Posted February 20 Author Report Share Posted February 20 Game over Sam Houston wins 6-3 If we wanted to host needed 2 here, definitely got to do better throughout rest of non-con Quote Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 I think Perry, Shay and McCarville are good enough to get us to a regional. They just need to figure it out. Cade did too after his first start last year. It’ll come around, if it doesn’t we can all have a b!^@h session - but let’s wait a month and see where we’re at. 1 Quote Link to comment

admo Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 6 hours ago, Mavric said: Like I said... That's not great, but it's a capsule over 4 games. It's 3.5 runs per game. The team played 36 innings, not 10. How did the bats do? My point is, unless you have 2 aces, a setup & shutdown closer, it's anyone's series. Batters are going to hit at this level, just like Sam Houston did (even though there's blaming toward the Husker pitching staff). If the Huskers want to play into a Super Regional or CWS, they got to swing the bat. Seriously, Vanderbilt got rocked and they had legit pitchers drafted. It's early, and the pitching will get figured out. Less excuse for the hitting and big bats. Quote Link to comment

Had to go back an run the calculation. Our starting pitching ran up a 12.47 ERA this weekend. And we almost blew 11-3 eighth inning lead in the one game we did win. Quote Link to comment

I mean, you got to throw strikes, and batters can hit strikes right? How did our guys do? That's my point. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 They didn't roll out Maddux, Smoltz & Glavine. Neither did we. Therefor, you should be able to string singles, extra base hits, take a walk, launch a few homers, run the plate and help out the p. staff on the way. That's on the Huskers. Hitting cures. Fielding helps. Base running is an advantage. I can't say it any other way. Quote Link to comment

So as long as our pitchers keep rolling along at a 12+ ERA we'll be fine as long as we start hitting. Good to know. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 Last year that great lineup we rolled out there hit .279. This weekend we hit .271. That's one more hit every 125 at bats. We had 133 at bats this weekend. So one more hit would have made all the difference, apparently. Quote Link to comment

Good to know. So as long as the starting pitchers get pulled after 2.5 innings, allowing 3 runs.. we will never score with 9 innings of plate appearances. Good to know, it might as well be over.

Bases clearing double? Grand Slam? Or just a infield hit as you are implying, where nothing changes? I think we will disagree. Teams that swing the bat, produce runs and rally's will knock out pitching no matter how amazing their ERA stat is. On the flip side, some teams have average pitchers that will pitch better than they can, because they have an offense that cross the plate a lot and put pressure on the opposing team.

hskrfan4life Posted February 21 Author Report Share Posted February 21 So having better pitching while getting some more timely offense is both true. Bolt said it himself they didn't perform up to their ability, the defense was also a letdown this weekend. We will get it shored up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 We allowed 8-5-9-6 runs this weekend while scoring 5-1-12-3. Seems to me that we had issues with both pitching/defense and scoring runs. Kind of silly to argue one or the other is "the" problem. Pretty much a team effort on this bad weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
