It might.  It won't matter.  We have 4 pitchers we can count on.  Sears, McConaughy, Worthley, and Diass.

[brfrad]

Are we trying to let Ohio State set the record for most runs in a Big Ten Tournament game?

 

Now, we have a guy who hasn't pitched in a month and a half to give it a try, with the bases loaded and no outs.  This should end well.

[brfrad]

This is going about as well as everyone figured it would go.  If OSU wouldn't swing at balls they would still have no outs.

[hskr4life]

This is just an all around disaster.

 

I try not to use this word often... but the team, the coaches, everyone... should be embarrassed.

If you really wanted to start Brockett tonight, why start him Saturday?

[hskr4life]

It's only the 5th inning and the announcers are so bored out of their minds, they are talking about situations where they would charge the mound.

[hskr4life]

Doing something I don't do very often.  I'm turning a Husker game off and going to bed.  

 

Figure it the F out tomorrow fellas.  Or we'll be 2 and BBQ in Omaha.

 

We're lucky we're basically a shoe in for Regionals... because we don't look like a regionals team.

[brfrad]

Timmerman is the only pitcher not to allow a run.  He let all 3 runners on base score he inherited, but no runs.

[AuroranHusker]

I watched the one-inning when the pitcher couldn't get anyone out and thought "WTH"... and shortly thereafter decided to do other things. Sheesh Louise, what the heck happened!?!

Seven innings, on this awful night, perhaps the only silver lining of getting housed, I suppose.

 

[Huskerpapa]

DEBACLE!

[hskr4life]

Tough to sell a “come on out tonight and cheer on your Huskers” again today after what happened last night.

[HB]

Baseball is the best example of why living in the moment is dangerous.  You can get blown out and come out the next game and be good.

I'm using this thread agian.

Time to bounce back, in a B1G way. GBR Always.

I would hope that we have the better pitching tomorrow.

OSU pitching update.

 

Tuesday Game:

- Beidelschies 76 pitches

- Herrell 28 pitches

- Brown 23 pitches

 

Thursday Game

- DeVooght 43 pitches

- Herrell 53 pitches

- Wynk 63 pitches

- Shaw 31 pitches

- Jones- 3 pitches 

 

 

Herrell is top 5 in team ERA and has started 5 games.  He’s likely out vs us having thrown both Tuesday and Thursday.

 

We’ll likely see Bruni or Purcell.

 

Bruni is 3-3 with a 6.10 ERA in 12 starts. He’s thrown 48.2 innings and leads the team with 41 walks vs 51 SOs.

 

Purcell is 3-4 with a 7.44 ERA in 9 starts. He’s thrown 52 innings and has 37 Ks to just 15 walks.  However he leads the team in hits given up at 74.  That’s well over 1 hit per inning pitched.

 

So our approach will probably widely differ based on who is throwing.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Brown throw at some point again today as he is top 2 in ERA and didn’t throw yesterday.

Purcell it is.  Boys better be ready to swing the bats today.  No easy ones, but a great opportunity to grab some

hits and score some runs.  Just looking at pitching matchups, we should be heavily favored to take care of business today and make it to the weekend.

Swanson heeded your advice!!

 

After a walk and a hit by pitch.  Which is uncharacteristic. 

[hskr4life]

What the hell are we doing running into not one but TWO outs.  This dudes laboring.  Hitting batters and walking em.  And we gift him two outs.  I just don’t understand.

[brfrad]

While like to argue with the ump costing us a run.  Probably gifted us with a couple runs.  He very much is a hitter's ump.

I hated the hit and run more.  Overbeek should have made contact.  Instead, he swings like he wanted to hit it to Iowa.  Probably,  better off going with the straight steal.  Stokes peeking back, cost him.

[brfrad]

The ump taketh, and the ump giveth.

[brfrad]

Stone needs some time off, and Swansen cannot sit.

[hskr4life]

Columbo at first, Stoney a game off and try someone who’s been swinging well in practice to DH for a game.
