Agree.

They are the cusp.

what a DP by schwelly 

[brfrad]

We need to make contact.  Too many strikeouts for my liking, and probably Bolt's liking.  11 today.

[Bugeaters1]

we do have 12 hits.

And a lot of LOB

well shit.

 

[The Polish Rifle]

Let them tie it on a WP...need to score here

[brfrad]

Tough luck for Bragg.  A bloop triple.  And the Everitt drops the ball to allow the tying run in.  Should have tossed it to Bragg.

[hskr4life]

We've got to hang on to that behind the plate.

At least throw it towards home plate, with the pitcher covering.  A good chance to get him there.

WP taketh, WP giveth

[brfrad]

Well, we tie it up with a ball getting by the Purdue catcher.  Now, we need Schreiber to be lights out.

Not a good start. 

[Bugeaters1]

Where is Huskerball and all of knowledge? It sure would help here.

 

[brfrad]

The benefit is the runner on 3rd doesn't seem to be fast.  He was chugging on his double.

[Bugeaters1]

10-3 the vermin

[brfrad]

Well he didn't need much speed when the ball is hit like that.

I've been in and out of this game (via digital radio feed). But sounds like we haven't been able to capitalize on some opportunities.

 

Anyone got a quick synopsis of this team right now?

[brfrad]

That inning by Purdue shows what happens if you make contact.  A hard double leads it off.  A ground ball up the middle to get him to 3rd and a swinging bunt to get him in.

Povich couldn't find the strike zone.  4 walks in 3 innings.  Last year, he had 2 walks in 21 1/3 innings.  Bragg looked really good.  Was victimized when a ball got lost in the sun and blown to the right field line went for a 1 out triple.  Everitt dropped a ball and allowed the runner to score.  And then Schrieber gave  up a lead off double that came around to tie the game.

 

The offense has gotten runners on base with 15 hits, but also 13 strikeouts.  It would be different if the Purdue pitchers had Joba stuff, but it was mostly junk.  They probably top out at 90.  We need to make contact.  We have 3 HR's.  Anderson in his 1st at bat, Acker and Chick also joined the party.

Good to see the cloud that hangs over our men’s sports programs is still there. Welp 2 chances of redemption tomorrow. 

[hskr4life]

How in the F do you lose that one.  Good lord.

[Bugeaters1]

Well shit, had many chjances to expand the lead. off to tomorrow.

 

[brfrad]

That was disappointing.  We had plenty of baserunners, but 15 strikeouts was our demise.
