That's a solid D-
I'm sorry, but barely making it into the Big Ten Tournament is unacceptable. Maybe you could make a case of bumping it up a half grade because of some notion of "development" we hope occurs under Erstad; but the fact is, we don't we if Erstad can develop talent yet. This team was a bad series away from missing the freaking Big Ten tournamant.
The quality of baseball is notably worse in the Big Ten. Everyone knew it going in, but even I was surprised. I seriously don't know if NU could win a series with Iowa Western, given our pitching.
Now, that was pretty harsh, but don't take it as doom-and-gloom. I have hope for Erstad, but he inherited a monster mess.
