2016 Husker Baseball

[The Polish Rifle]

Ugly, Ugly game. They are making a habit of getting behind teams they should be beating pretty easily. If they drop this one they need to win the next 4.

Bad base running error in the first, and we've struggled ever since

[brfrad]

We were due a bad game by the offense.  On a bright note, we have only walked 3 thru 7.  Baby steps.

 

Burkamper needs to get it figured out, quickly.  His first 2 1/2 starts, he was flat out dominating.  Since then he has struggled mightily. He is 1-1 with a 7.94 ERA, with 11 walks and 12 strikeouts.  Before that he held opponents scoreless in the first 16 innings.  I don't know if you can mess with the rotation, and have him pitch Saturday or Sunday.  He seems to be more comfortable in those spots.

We need to win the next 4, whether or not we comeback and win this game or not.

0 outs bases loaded and jack squat.....that was pitiful 

[brfrad]

The difference in the game, Nebraska is 0-3 with runners at 3rd and less than 2 outs.

I listened to that entire game, i need those 3 hours of my life back

Yeah what was up with that? I'm following the game through their twitter page and it didn't specify how we went from bases loaded no outs to the end of the inning and no more runs scored.

I assumed we would come out of the inning at least tied.

Well... we laid a turd... No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

hit and come backer to pitcher forced out at home for first out. and from there I don't remember.

It's a lot better than listening to the team walking 17 or 12 batters.  Nights like this are going to happen.  We struggled to hit with runners in scoring position tonight.  We had been doing really well the past few weeks in that category.  K-State was swept by a ranked Okla State team by a combined 3 runs. 

 

We need to put this game behind us, and focus on sweeping the rest of the weekend.

Well said brfrad. All they hit to night were at em balls.

Alvarado hit a soft comebacker to the mound.  The announcers said it hit the pitcher's foot, and landed between him and home plate.  Picked it up and threw home for the force out.  We let Klemke bat (should have pinch hit Fish there, as he was coming in the game, anyway), he struck out.  Did pinch hit Fish for Schleppenbach.  Fish hit a grounder, and according to the announcers, the 2nd basemen made a really good play to save 2 runs.

I've learned through my many years, following this game, you can't get too high or too low.

Hey, I went to it!  I least you could multi-task....

[brfrad]

One thing this team really needs is strike throwers and inning eaters.  Our starters are avg. 4 2/3 innings, 5 2/3 innings, and 5 innings.  We need more out of them.

[huskerbaseball13]

Can't win them all.  Really need to get the next 4 though.  Our RPI is not trending in the right directon and the series vs NW is not going to help even if we come out with a sweep.  Tonight will likely be a tough game as Omaha always has an extra pep in their step vs us.  That, and we just don't have a reliable midweek starter this year. 

[Huskerpapa]

That was a very winnable game last night.  If you want to take it to the highest level, then you have to do more than show up at the park expecting to win.  As a player, you have to prove yourself each and every time out.  A team likely will not win them all, yet we let that one get away from us.

We haven't really had reliable weekend starters either.  Waldron and McSteen have done very well for freshmen, but we don't have that friday night gorilla which allows you to save your pen in a weekend series.  And now Howell has a shoulder problem, and Burkamper's back is an issue.  We will have to have numerous young pitchers step up to provide the pitching depth for a postseason run.  We can't drop too many more low RPI games and get in the tournament without the automatic bid. 

[brfrad]

Here's what I would do with the pitching rotation. If Burkamper is healthy. Waldron, Derek, McSteen on the weekend. If 2 games, Max on Tuesday and King on Wednesday. If 1 game, King.

If Burkamper is injured, I would go with Waldron, McSteen, and King. Max and Eddins if 2 games and Max if 1 game.

Uno will is a scrappy team and would love to pull the upset on their big brother. They put up some tough games the two times they played last year.

Anybody know who is starting today?
