We're they playing these games in Nebraska?
They have two split series with legit baseball programs and a bad loss to Oregon State, and let's keep in mind that this is entirely a road record. It's baseball; thus far too early to be making blanket statements about the team. We aren't even in March yet!
UCR did manage to win at UCLA last week and took two of three in Fresno. It's baseball. Yeah, our team could have fewer LOB, but it's early and too soon to be pessimistic.I don't know about "legit." Neither Riverside nor Utah has had a winning season since 2011.

Were they other teams playing at their school?We're they playing these games in Nebraska?
No its not. Its a analysis of six games and its spot on. We are tied for #252 in runs scored per game. Its not like we played a murderers row in the first six games. Granted, OSU's pitching staff is good, but the other four games? Its a pathetic display at the plate in the first six games. Its impossible to ignore. Its also continuing a trend from last year. Not saying they can't turn it around but its something that has been an issue.Agree on the 2-4 record, but calling our run scoring a pig after 6 games is jumping to conclusions.
I didn't say that. Cold weather schools typically struggle early when traveling to warm weather areas, and obviously we were farther from home than the opponents.Were they other teams playing at their school?

I agree with you main point. I'm not sure distance from home make a huge difference, but the amount of time cold weather teams spend on the field scrimmaging (ie. practicing at game speed, seeing live pitching on a real mound, situational pressure, etc.) in preparation for the season is/can be minuscule when compared to warm weather schools. I think that makes a big difference in the early season. Huskers had what, 1 scrimmage before the season started?I didn't say that.
