6 outs 6 strikeouts.  

If I see another batter take a home run swing on a 2 strike pitch, I'm going to go nuts.  Shorten up the swing!!!

Exactly, why is our hitting coach not preaching this

[Bugeaters1]

Maybe they aren't listening?

Because that's not the new era of baseball.  The new concept is that you get 3 swings, make them count.  I guess we are just the get off my lawn old geezers.

Maybe but it leads to much better baseball

Honestly I wish we had more fun and we're loose. Every other team looks like they're at the party or the year and our bench looks like they're attending a funeral.

Hey an out not being a strikeout

It just looks like were trying way too hard. Go have some fun boys. Every tournament we pucker up. 

[colhusker]

I may have to start drinking if our approach at the plate doesn't change soon

[brfrad]

Roskam had no chance in his 1st 2 at-bats.  I don't know who you play at 3rd, but he's been an easy out the first 2 times up. 

[brfrad]

Well, at least I can get to bed at a decent time tonight.

We are not the same baseball team today that we were in the first round game. Which team is going to show up for Regionals?

[colhusker]

Just a bad day of baseball.  Unfortunately, it is two games worth.

[The Polish Rifle]

I'll probably get cruicified for asking but anyone know Erstad's conf tournament and NCAA tournament record?

Wikipedia says 9-9 B1G and 1-4 NCAA.

[The Polish Rifle]

9-9 surprised me but I guess those back to back years taking Indiana the distance were impressive. 

[colhusker]

Big 10 tournament should be a whole lot better

[Bugeaters1]

On the bright side of things, we can get some yard work done tommorrow.

If Meyers can't go, this is the team that we will probably see in the regionals.  We had no chance tonight once Meyers couldn't go.  Too many injuries to key pitchers  Eddins, Toletson,  and Curry, we were able to overcome due to having pretty good starting pitching in Hohensee, Burkamper, and Meyers.  They averaged 5 2/3 innings in conference play.  That means we could use Waldron, McSteen, Fisher, Luensmann, Palkert and Alvarado only needed to go 3 1/3 innings, or about an average of 2/3 innings per game.  Now, we lose Meyers, and Frazier gets hurt in the 2nd inning, plus we play in a park where the ball seems to fly (except for us), it's recipe for disaster.

My guess is its 9-10 and about to be 9-11. Wikipedia is slow to update. But Erstads Achilles heal seems to be postseason play.

Is he done for the season? Thought the radio said that he tightened up. So what does that mean? Is it just his arm or whole body?

I'm going by worst case scenario. 

[brfrad]

The old adage is solo home runs won't beat you.  We are looking to make that hold up.

I'm just asking, cause I don't know what it means.
