Is it just me, or is Kopps throwing everything towards the dirt? Should have some of our next batters just sit and have him throw in the strike zone instead of swinging at everything.

Yeah they talking about that on Twitter
Joey are saying if it is b t abo b e he belt don't swing

We're doing the work for Kopps. Sure, attributes to the pitching ability. But yeeesh. Don't make it so easy for him.

If you're going to give up a HR at least no one is on base.

Well damn.

Would have rather they earned it on the bags. Need to minimize these errors.

[brfrad]

I think Cade's about done.

[HuskerFever]

Get a double play. Move on. Get the bats back.

[brfrad]

Well done, Cade!!  Just ran out of gas.

Keep it to just 1 run this inning and it's not all that bad. Good effort. Gave it all he had.

[HuskerFever]

We're talking about the #1 team in the country. Limited an inning like this, which could have been a 4+ run inning.

 

Great job!

Need the pitching to have a good day.  We are not hitting Kopps at all.  A couple seeing eye singles is about all we have on him.  Hopefully, we can be patient and get him to run out of gas.

If we can maintain a 4-6 Arkansas hits sort of performance, we're in decent shape. But we need to score some runs.

[HuskerFever]

Giving away the easy ones...

[brfrad]

Time to squeeze us.  Cost us a run.  A 2 - 1 count is a lot easier to hit than a 1 - 2 count.

[brfrad]

I bet if Kopps threw that first pitch to Moore, called a ball, it would be a strike.

[HuskerFever]

Sanity check: We're hanging on. We belong in this series. If our offense shows up for us again, we have a good shot at this one.

 

We're not making the self-inflicted errors in fielding as we had before. It's all just happening on the mound. Regroup. Score.

[brfrad]

Just on cue.  A first pitch to Mojo, a good 6 inches off the plate is a strike.

[hskr4life]

I thought Chance might be available, but I guess not.  Going to the Freshman to get it done.

[brfrad]

Alright patience guys.  Make him throw strikes.

[HuskerFever]

2-2 T8. Elimination game. Winner goes to the Super Regionals.

 

I would take you up on that if you offered it to me at the end of the regular season.

 

LET'S GO!

Kopps is showing signs of wear. But he's also getting a strikeout an inning.

[HuskerFever]

Our biggest crutch the last half of this game is our inability to stretch out an inning. Nearly 1-2-3 every time. Keeps Kopps in the game.

I think he is one of the rarities in baseball where the more tired gets the better he gets.  I think his ball moves much more the more tired he gets.  I hope he leaves one up and we pounce on it.

Kopps is NOT leaving this game.

If we could get a couple hits the last 4 innings, it would be a different story. Even if it was the same 2-2 result, he'd have 30 more pitches.
