Florida (28-27) vs Nebraska (39-20) Game Thread

[Bugeaters1]

I would assume that the HUskers are the home team today.

[hskr4life]

We have to have one of the best content creation and social media teams for a college man.  We release some good ones.

It's up for argument whether Florida should even be in the tournament. Let's show them they don't belong today.

Well their RPI is only like one spot below us and I'd like to think we'd get an at large bid if we hadn't won the Big Ten tournament.

That's the fallacy of RPI. You can lose, a lot, but as long as you play good teams you can still prop up your RPI.

 

There are only 3 teams with a worse conference record than 13-17 in the SEC.

 

And having neither #1 regular season champion or the #1 tournament team host a regional should be telling for us. It will be good to have Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington join us to prop up the conference a bit.

Florida is the or 7th nationally in home runs, and this park is a band box.  Wish we were playing them at Schwab.

7 guys with over 10 big knocks.

 

We have 1 for comparison.

[HB]

Stone getting another chance.  Hope he can pull out of his slump.   He was absolutely helpless up there in Omaha.  

[Bugeaters1]

Anyone know if there is a stat tracker?

Blame me, first batter hits one out on an  0-2 count.  

[HuskerFever]

Hopefully that inning put some fire under us for this game. Time to get to work.

That might help our hitters also.  We had 11 home runs at the Schwab in 6 games.

[HuskerFever]

Back to even. Do some damage.

Strikes out with runners on first and second with 2 outs.   Can't hit a breaking ball right now to save his life.

Florida is not a great team for “pound the zone” type pitching.  But… at this point in the season not many are.

[Bugeaters1]

No corners today.

 

[brfrad]

The bullpen will need to be up to the task.

 

Also, need to find some runs with the bats.

[brfrad]

Looks like my prediction came true.  The guy with 5 starts has 2 doubles.

 

 

[hskr4life]

For a team with a bad batting average… we’re sure giving up a lot of hits.

[Bugeaters1]

When you have to put the ball over the plate. That seems to happen, looks to me like the ump isn't giving any corners.

He's consistent.  If he’s going to call it tight, we gotta hit it.

[brfrad]

Dodged a bullet.  We need to get the lead off hitter on base, for a change.

[HuskerFever]

Feels like the strike zone goes down to the ankles.

[Bugeaters1]

Not looking good for the home team

 

[brfrad]

We need to take advantage.
