It would be nice if the Huskers could sweep this weekend.

Not just nice, it's imperative!

Yeah, there's no dying in baseball. And there shouldn't be tying, either.

Gotta stop those hiccup innings.

Am I the only one who thought it was a balk on Schlepenbach's pick-off?  It looked for the life of me that he stepped to the plate before throwing over to first.

Jake ran out of gas, should have got he out sooner.

One of my worries about Erstad.  He seems to not know when to take pitchers out.  It could have went just as bad, but I thought they should have taken Jake out after the double off Alvarado's glove.

[Bugeaters1]

In all truth Alvarado should have made that catch.

Aren't most college coaches that way. In leaving a guy in to long

That is one reason that you have a pitching coach.  The pitching coach not only needs to recognize when a pitcher is gassed, but he needs to identify signs of demise before it happens.

I think Alvardo should be in right and Hagge in left.  I don't fault Erstad for that.  I think Alvarado is more comfortable in left.  However, you should want your best arm in right.  Hagge can catch a bunch of balls, but has no arm.  Alvarado seems to make balls an adventure, but has a cannon.

I can't agree that point.

It's a Husker win.

Nebraska is in second place in the Big Ten, still. [Iowa beat MSU to stay an NU tie away from 2nd.]

Saving two runs. Yeah, that's Mojo. Both his name and the momentum.

It was a win, which is necessary.  I am just a bit hesitant though, this team seems to have too many mental lapses.  Perhaps I am over analyzing the situation.  Let's see how we do on Saturday and Sunday.
