I have an illogical, passionate obsession for all things Husker, but especially the baseball program.
After attending the BIG tourney in Omaha in 2015 I've been super excited to return. Alas last year we didn't qualify, and I entered a state of husker baseball depression. Looking ahead to this season, I didn't have a lot of hope due to how bad our offense was last year and losing our best players. However, when this season started the newcomers came in, took over, and did well. Now however, the opponents seem to have a book published on our batters and we're in danger of having a sub 200 batting avg for April.
Looking forward it is hard for me to imagine this team getting 3 earned runs in a game. However, our weekend starters are so good we should still be in most games if they can handle all the pressure of not giving up runs.
Long story short, my early season optimism is quickly fading and I'm now expecting an early bounce out of the BIG tourney and no regional bid. Not to mention all our weekend starters graduate next year, and Curry may never be healthy and Perry couldn't buy a strike if he was Warren Buffet.
What say you? Am I a Debbie downer? Is there any reason to expect things to pick up?
