Tough Series….not playing well.

So far at Ohio State it’s like our bats have left the building… six hits in 14 innings.

We are putting zero pressure on Ohio State’s pitchers who are very average.

And we are already down in the second game 4-1

The pitching by us has been more than adequate.

Hopefully, we explode soon because this is not what we have seen all year long.

Streaks and slumps happen in baseball…. Just the way it is.

But you just detest it when it happens.
 
5-2 and just not the way we have hit all season.

Frustrating!

7 hits in 16 innings

Only ONE of those an extra base hit….a double.

Still a couple innings left….

Let’s hope this desert drought does not last.
 
7-2….

OSU has three 2 out hits

All 7 runs on two outs.

Not looking good.

Lordy

Last 3 outs coming up.

Lose this one and we fall back on an old baseball truism.

Lose a series and that’s gonna happen from time to time.

Just don’t get swept!

Lost 7-3….

Got our third run off 3 straight walks and then a hit batsman.

The announcers are saying we are hitting the ball hard.

But it either goes right at an enemy player or barely foul down the line.

Our best hitters 0-4

Don’t get swept boys, dust yourself off and go win tomorrow!

This my friends is the sucky part of baseball.

A team you should easily win a series from…

And you just don’t.

Why?

Because in baseball it just doesn’t work that way.

Not sure what's going on. Didn't see the fire in the dugout or on the mound I've been seeing this year. Momentum is huge in series like this. Our backs are against the wall now if we still want to host.

Yes…this makes it very hard to do. And Iowa has won 9 straight so they are hot right now and no slouch.

It was always a bit dicey.

Our strength of schedule kind of peters out at the end and we had to be close to perfect on winning the rest of our series.

We can still host but we may need some “help” from others slipping up.

At some point….all really good teams just go incredibly flat for a few games.

Better to do it at the beginning of the season instead of the end but that’s baseball.

Win our last two series and beat Creighton and then a good showing in the BiG Tournament….and we still have a shot.

But no denying tonight hurt us badly….hosting wise.

But first things first….win the series finale!
 
Utterly pathetic weekend. Absolutely nothing went well. We can all forget hosting a regional. Total bummer.

Hope they can bounce back, but late Sunday it is looking grim.

Cooper Katske should probably be benched as should Overbeek.
 
Not any better today…
Down 6-0 in the fifth…

I don’t know whether to worry about this or just shrug it off as a slump that we had avoided basically all year.

We are being out pitched out hit and outplayed by a very average team.

Discouraging.

If we lose this and we very well could, we need to limp back to Lincoln and take a close look at what Ohio State did to nullify our bats.

Did they do anything different?….. anything we hadn’t seen before.
Did we do anything different? Try different approach mentality.

Because the series has NOT been what we have seen all season.

They have 5 home runs midway through sunday and i don’t think we’ve had 5 leave the infield. Our bats our totally confused and the overall approach has been bad. Early today their pitching couldn’t throw strikes. hit 3 batters in the first 6 outs and yet we’re swinging at everything…

They keep throwing Cooper out there and he keeps getting shelled…

I guess that was our only option, but I’m not sure I agree with moving the rotation around like we have.

I know Ty Horn was has been superb in the pen and given that middle relief a real boost.

But perhaps Ty needs to go back to starting.

And you are right …..this is what you would call not only a “bad loss”, but three bad losses… will lower our RPI dramatically, and we can kiss any chance of hosting a region goodbye after today if things keep going the way they have for the rest of this game.

Darn it!
 
All 3 of OSUs starters are mediocre, yet all are going to get quality starts this weekend with most (if not all) not giving up a run.
 
Another home run…. This time off Unger

Lordy what a disaster.

Still have things to play for, and they should not let this get in their head.

This is a good team…. But we sure didn’t show it this last three days.
 
Now——10-1

In danger of getting 10 run ruled.

I wonder if this is how USC felt when they played us.

But still…. This is worse…

USC knew we were a good team…. Stuff like that happens.

But this?

Boys need to go to a clinic and get some forgetful pills…

Forget they ever went to Columbus this last weekend and drive on with the rest of the season.
