Just now, throwback said:

Olson, Kaminska, and pray for rain doesn't rhyme like Spahn, Sain, and pray for rain, but it's probably appropriate for this team.

 

(Might need to be super old like me to get that reference. 😁 )

Next weekend, we have a good chance to come away with 0 losses.

 

We needed a little more rain today.

Olson, Kaminska, and pray for the bats to smacksa.

We have missed golden opportunities today.  Hard to fault the offense with the way we have been hitting this year.

 

Bases loaded 1 out in the 1st inning, ground into double play.

 

1st and 2nd 0 outs in the 4th inning.  Double play and fly out.

 

Bases loaded 2 outs in the 7th inning.  Walk gets a run, but that's all.

We absolutely cannot give someone a 6-0 lead and expect to win.  Just can’t do it.

 

Theme of the year… but we’ve got to get the Sunday weekend pitching rotation figured out.

 

Our Sunday/Mid-Week guys will be the deciding factor on if we make post season and currently that’s not looking good.

 

This team is set up to go 2-0 in tournament play and then lose 2 straight.

Good news is the B1G tourney is Tuesday thru Sunday this year. So if we play Tuesday, you potentially could start Olson Tuesday & Sunday, Kaminska Thursday. Then you'd just have to find a way to win one of 2 on Saturday with the other guys when the other team's bullpen would be really thin. ::fingers crossed:: I think we could win a second game on Saturday like 20-18 if needed. 😁

 

NU is 10-2 when Olson & Kaminska start - with 10 wins in a row. 3-6-1 when someone else starts. Honestly, I'm surprised we've won 3. Doesn't feel like it.
