Fighting Erstads at Baylor - Games 13-15

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Eddin is having a rough year.   His era has to be above 20.

8-3 with one out.

 

[SouthLincoln Husker]

Good lord - 7 hits, 6 earned runs with 4 outs.  Take him out.

About time

Runner tries to score on a passed ball, he is tagged out by the pitcher!

Probably they could find a place to take ground balls individually but they need to practice a live game to simulate the action of hearing the pop of the bat, getting into position, fielding the ball, having runners sliding at your feet and making the throw to the base. I don't know what those indoor surfaces are.  Fielding off of a fake grass floor over concrete or carpet over concrete doesn't give you the same experience as a dirt infield

Good points. Do any college programs have those types of indoor facilities?

8-3 Baylor after 6

Would love to pull this one out

Huskers still looking for someone to step up in the bullpen.

Tough finish for Nebraska as they lose 10-3. Hopefully they can carry some momentum from the wins into this weekend's games

I think we'd settle to win *any* series against a team with a pulse at this point...but since Baylor is an ex-Big XII foe, yeah, would love to put the hurt on them.

Baylor has a pulse?  Yea or nay???

Good points. Do any college programs have those types of indoor facilities? 

I honestly don't know.  Most of the strong baseball programs are in the south and southwest and they don't really need a facility like that.  Oregon St and Washington were in the CWS last year.  Thats the biggest reason northern schools want the season moved back several weeks or a month. So were aren't always playing catch up.

I think they can contend with that lineup, it's the pitching that could hold them back.

Yup, though pitching is suspect. But they’re probably good enough to get a third or fourth place Big XII finish at season end.

Baylor went 3-1 last week, beating Abilene Christian and winning the series 2-1 against Cal Poly, RPI is 163, SOS is 238, Non-con is 237
