I don't like our chances tomorrow.   We were in the driver's seat and needed 1 out.  Now, we have to win 3 games with 1 somewhat reliable starter, who had 1 of the worst outings last time out.  All because we can't trust Gomes to throw a breaking ball.

Gomes fastball is overwhelming for B1G schools, def not gonna out power OSU tho. Sucks to have to learn that lesson the hard way. Really sucks to go from dreaming of supers to staring down elimination in 5 minutes. If we go 2-2 I won’t be disappointed but we will always have what could have been. 

 

Gomes was living in the mid 90’s to start the year. For whatever reason tonight he was hitting 90-92 and throwing nothing but fastballs which of course one of the better hitting teams in D-1 was going to tee off on. 

 

Talks of him becoming a starter next year. If so, hopefully the staff handles him better than they did Luensmann.  Luensman  went from being a freshman all American to someone who is now relegated to mop up duty.

We saw the potential scenario unfold after the two out single.  I said, "no God, no. Don't let it happen".  Then it happened.  Disgusting.

After watching OSU flail at offspeed stuff all night, we let them get into their comfort zone. Gomes wasn’t sharp. Seems like if you were gonna use Shay you let him ride it out with Gomes ready at any moment. I think a lot of people underestimate how well OSU can mash as well. They’ve seen guys like Gomes all year. Let alone low 90s Gomes. Sucks but Erstad can learn from this for sure.

NU pitching coach should have had a different plan for Gomes in that situation. Shay threw off-speed pitches in the 8th to record the final out. Not sure why NU went away from that strategy.

Like letting a heavy hitter take uppercuts to the chin in the twelfth round, when you would win if you let it go to the cards.

We really "lost" this game in the first three innings when we didn't score more.  Should have been like 8-0.

 

Oh well, don't let this game beat us again tomorrow at noon.  Although I won't be surprised if we come out tomorrow and lay an egg against UCONN.

We should be able to beat UConn. We’re gonna run out of pitching tho. That’s why winners of that winner bracket game go on to supers over 80% of the time. If Eddins throws strikes I like us against UConn

I know where I’m at mentally.  My goodness.  Fragile.  Pitching is worrisome.  Feel for Matt as he threw a hell of a game.

 

Never fun to take an elevator up 7 floors in a parking garage with a guy who is wearing orange and says “I’ll try not to rub it in too much but it’ll be hard.”

The way I see it we had to win the series against Oklahoma State one way or another. We had our shot last night to increase our chances, but we still have a shot to win that series. The team can't overlook UCONN though because we've got some work to dig ourselves out of.

Still some fun to be had, we're not done. Nebraska fans want a winner (in any men's sport) so bad right now, make's last night a complete punch to the gut. Don't think these guys will lay over for UCONN. I'd be damn proud of a 2nd place finish in this regional.
