Maryland Series

[brfrad]

Schwellenbach threw a pitch right down the middle thigh high, and this bozo called it a ball.  Greg just said the crowd all saw it, and had no words.

Hard pitch or hit with that kind shit.

After today's 6-2 win by the Big Red, the Huskers lead the Big Ten at 14-5. Second place is now tied at 13-7 by OSU & Michigan after the Bucks beat the Wolverines today.

This team deserved to showcase itself in the non-con.  That is all.

Prolly be in the top 25 if it had.

This team could* do some damage in the post season.  Would have had a chance at a Big 10 tourney title and a solid national seed.  If we could keep winning... MAYBE... it'll give us a chance with them selecting hosts early this year.

[brfrad]

I really like this team.  I do wish we could have played a non conference season to see how we stack up against the Top 25 teams.

[Huskerpapa]

Over the course of a season, a series and a game, you get calls and calls are missed.  It is an important part of baseball.  I complain as much as the next person...but they do tend to even out.  If you are a good team you tend to overcome bad calls; if you are a bad team, you tend to be overcome by them.

And so it goes.

Another nice win last evening by an emerging VERY good Husker team.

I was close to the action and had a good view of the plate.  The ump started out consistent--was giving the pitcher the low outside pitch to right handers, and the high inside pitch to lefties.    For some reason, he lost his zone in the middle of the game.   What was a strike all day became a ball.   Hard for the players to know his zone.    All I ask for is consistency.   

[Silverbacked1]

This team has great senior leadership.  Erstad always wanted grinders and I think that those that were stayed.  It will help the younger players to learn from these guys.  and with Bolt's recruitment of really good players, this program is looking good.

[Bugeaters1]

Bats are coming around.

 

[Bugeaters1]

Damn Bolt puts pressure on the opponent.

 

[Bugeaters1]

IT'S TATER TIME!!!!!!!

 

[brfrad]

Our pitching is coming back to Earth.  Bragg, who I am very high on, struggled today.  We get the lead, and give it right back.

 

8 - 6 Maryland Top 7

[brfrad]

Cam Wynne needs to keep at a 1 run game for a chance to tie or win.  Thanks Maryland.  I don't think I would have the conference home run leader bunt.

[brfrad]

That probably does it.  10 - 7 Maryland after a WP and error scores 2.

[brfrad]

We've now given up 35 runs in our last 5 games.  Not going to be very successful doing that.

[AuroranHusker]

Hroch should have been pulled before Maryland brought their best hitter to the plate. Of course that 3-run HR, in hindsight, was a bitter pill to swallow. It went from a 5-2 lead to tied at 5. Nebraska didn't play that right, the Terps had 5 straight hits off of Hroch in the 5th; and, if it wasn't for a pick-off at 2nd in the middle of that, NU wouldn't have even been tied at that point. Oh well, now NU really has to strive with all it has in order to get that series win in the Sunday nooner.

 

[hskr4life]

HAVE to win the series.  So, today is kind of important.

[hskr4life]

It's weird feeling like today is a "must win" and it certainly isn't a "must" but it's as close as you can get to a must in a season where the Big 10 hindered us.

[brfrad]

We got good Shay today.  1 hit through 5 innings with 9 k's.

 

7 - 1 good guys through 5.

[Bugeaters1]

Marylands new pitchers has an ERA of 27.00 2 innings pitched 6 hits.

 

[Bugeaters1]

That didnt hit the batter by much if it did hit him.

[brfrad]

These umps are atrocious!  2 Maryland players lean into pitches and Bolt is watching from the stands.
