Game #2 -Huskers vs Hoosiers - 5/25/24 - Sat. @5:00 pm - SEMI-FINALS - Omaha
- Thread starter CrnhskrBob
- Start date
Do we know who will be starting pitcher
pitching in the first game really put NU in a great position to win this game
We don't know starting pitcher yet, and trying to think from a coaches standpoint - I'm not sure who to put on the mound tonight. We do not have an abundance of "starting pitcher" arms. Also keeping in mind that if we win tonight, we turn around for a championship game on Sunday.
Regionals start on the 31st. There would be a 5 day cushion to rest some arms. I am tempted to go "all in" on winning the BIG tourney, and start Sears tonight. McConnaughey Sunday. It's short rest for both, but it's end of the season, their arms are well stretched out and conditioned. I'd keep both on a short leash, and plan on going to the pen early in both games to limit risk to them both.
Rational? It's unlikely our Huskers will make it back to Omaha via the NCAA tourney. But, we have a realistic chance of giving our team a moment in the sun during the BIG tourney, in front of what is likely to be a very full stadium of Husker fans on Sunday. Let them hoist a trophy, and have a dog pile moment in front of the fans.

...... Now, for a more conservative, (and maybe more realistic) standpoint... Perhaps consider Kyle Perry and Jalen Worthley as our next two starters. No matter what, I hope our team defense plays hot, and our bats are swinging free. Gotta leave it all on the field.
Daiss and Froelich have yet to pitch in the tourney. Will has already said Sears will not pitch and don’t think you can run Mason out.
Pitchers:
Brockett
Christo
Perry
Clark
Daiss
Froelich
And then the younger arms if need be…..
Think they’re in better shape than what we think

Jalen pitched yesterday. At least 30 pitches it not more.I don't know if he could come back that quick.
If not stiff he could go a couple

Yeah, that's my bad, he did indeed. Was looking at pitching stats and got carried away.
Great song
I get carried away......lol
I'm guessing Froelich may start

Pitching by committe could be the key? Many arms to choose from!
Sprinkler man is almost here. I should be available at starting time, for sure. If not, don't wait for me. I'll be back asap. GBR!!
Will find out when audio is up. Right now, it still shows about 20 min before comes up! Hmm!
