It scares me that I have a good feeling about this weekend. I feel they can win it but they can also knock me back down to reality. Does that make sense?
Top 2nd
Wilkening with a line drive Leadoff single to LF. Placzek K's. Both pitches to strike him out were balls the inning before and the first pitch of his at bat. Hopefully the umpire picks a zone and sticks with it. Schlepp K's looking, pretty bad at bat for him. Alvarado with a single past SS. Boldt grounds out back to the pitcher for out #3. The decision not to bunt when Placzek was up may have cost us a run.
Not a good start for Waldron.
Why does Erstad insist on just giving away the first game of tournaments? We are once again starting our #3 pitcher...in hopes of saving our best guy for the loser's bracket??? Makes absolutely no sense! I don't care if Okie State is starting their ace or not. You play to win the first game...Period!! Did he not learn anything from the B1G tourney?
I'd argue Waldron has been our best pitcher this year. Meyers has been solid but you kind of want to save him so he can play the field and Schreiber can DH. Nothing wrong with starting Waldron IMO.
Waldron's ERA is more than an entire run higher than Meyer. 2.39 vs 1.38. His BA is .245 vs .189 for Meyer. He isn't our best pitcher.

Regardless who pitches to start the series we need runners on bases and score runs which we haven't done the past 2 weeks.
But why put your team in a hole right out of the gate? Win your first game and build momentum. You start your best pitcher the first game.
How did they put them in a hole? How is starting Meyers and having Scheiber or Meyers bat on the bench a good thing? Schreiber isn't healthy enough to play the field yet. You also tire out our RF's arm for the rest of the tourney. Waldron gave up zero earned runs in the Big Ten Tourney.
Although I'm pretty sure Waldron gave up earned runs in the tourney, you are correct that we needed to give Schreiber a break in the field. I just think you have to have your best pitcher on the mound the first game of the regional.
Top 6th
One out single past SS for Meyers and advance to 2nd on a passed ball. Miller walks. Schreiber with an infield single to load the bases, Altavilla to pinch run for Schreiber. Wilkening K's. Placzek K's on a check swing.
What is the term meaning the opposite of 'clutch hitting'? That would be the term to describe the 2016 Husker offense........
