Will have to disagree with the OP. Will Bolt is no where near the hot seat as a coach. We are glad we have him. We had a strong early season campaign, which contributes to our strong standing in RPI. (As of today ranked 20th in RPI after defeating KState). We are a respectable 10-5 in conference play, and 28-15 overall. We are where we are at despite playing a schedule ranked 25th in strength of schedule. I'll add that our nonconference SOS was 9th in the nation.
The Huskers are short handed on reliable starting pitching arms for mid-week games and long relief. However, last year Bolt hired one of the most respected pitching coaches available in Childress. Expect our pitching depth to improve in the future. (Hey! How about that game pitched against K State?? No hitter!) Kinda looks like we have another arm to take us into the tournaments.
We've shown the ability to get runners on base, sometimes the LOB numbers are frustrating, However, Looking at it from the other view, we ARE getting runners on base, right? We've 10 run ruled two teams this year... ok?
Questioning a head coaches play calling from the grandstands or easy chair is as old as the game of baseball. Everyone is an Armchair QB. (heheheh!) Easy to do after a loss or two. Funny how we forget all that when we win.
The Huskers have a fine baseball team this year, representing us quite well. I believe the team is on the right trajectory with Will Bolt as Head Coach, for this year, and years ahead.
GBR!
