Huskers vs Sooners - Sunday -10:30 am Ctrl - 2-18 - 2024


Two games last inning losses…

Closers gave up walks instead of hits.

That can be fixed I think.

yesterday we simply hit the ball hard right at them All game long and their dink hits that dropped in made the difference

Today was just a hard fought game….. we had our chance to win it….just didn’t.

I hate to say it, but that’s baseball!
 



Last year we would either start with a big lead or much more often the first two innings set the tone of the game badly for us

This year’s team just looks a little more “seasoned” to me.

But it’s so darn early in the season who the heck knows.

Still, a far better start to the season this year than last year against far better teams.
 
That was a tough one to watch. I thought after what happened on Saturday that we'd close it out today. Was a long drive home. Always comes down to pitching in clutch moments in a close game. Need to find the guys on the team that thrive in that moment.
 




Closer is always tough to find in pre season.

You never really know till they are in a real game….with the game on the line.

Walks are just inexcusable.

unless you are facing their very best….you don’t dance around the corners.

throwing strikes is just everything.

if they beat you with solid hits, you tip your cap and try again.

But you don’t give it to them on walks…..ever..

I miss Schwellenbach…..

But I’m sure Coach will find someone or even multiple someone’s.

The good news is we played pretty solid baseball to open the season.

Against “Southern schools”….. from a conference that regularly puts multiple teams in the NCAA.

I’m really excited to play Grand Canyon….. they are really an up-and-coming program.

Great analysis. It's a long season, patience is required. There was allot to like this weekend.

Early Bob.

I Like this seasons schedule a lot better than last year’s.

High Quality teams the first 7 games.

Get’s us prepped better for conference play.

And our BiG schedule looks very manageable. Indiana and Maryland our toughest.

But Maryland lost a ton of kids.

You never know though.

Look at the Orioles last year. Came out of nowhere.

A couple good pitches and we are 3-0…or at least 2-1…against good competition.

I’m the eternal optimist…. But even discounting that…I like what I see so far.

Long season….strap in!

Yes, but there comes a time when "woulda', coulda', shoulda' gets really old, my friend!! ;)

For what it is worth, I saw they knocked off USC on a clutch hitl to win it! Not sure, but they might
have come from behind it win it.

What else can you do Bob?
We’re fans….

Hope springs eternal!

Only thing I can do is cheer them on.

And it’s OK to complain a bit from time to time. We all do…just natural.

But I’m not sure what some of the folks are doing lately is being a “fan.”

Some of those threads in the football forum are just so darn toxic….. you have to wonder if they’re true Nebraska fans or not.
