It always sucks to lose a pitcher that has secured a spot - especially when the level of our pitching staff is so low. My heart goes out to Mike Nesseth, and I wish him a recovery that allows him to pursue baseball at the next level...or even better, that he can get a medical redshirt and come back to Nebraska for another year.He's been on fire lately, but now we are down another player. Not sure how this will affect the team the rest of the way. Anyone have some thoughts??

Either way, very few of our pitchers have been solid this year...including Nesseth. He's had a few good relief appearances, but a few poor showings as well. We've seen moments of brilliance from Hauptman and Mariot, and moments of the two doing less than what needs to be done.
Chase Adams was a nice surprise against North Dakota, and let's hope that he can keep up his relief effort while perhaps working himself into the weekend starting rotation. He's had a few good outings. We need reliable relievers and closers, or any combination of the two. At this point, it seems as if we have neither.
The ONE thing we're missing though, is a reliable closer. I don't think I've seen a proven closer at Nebraska since 2005. Maybe Jensen in 2006? I'm not sure.
