Sunday, April 24th Nebraska at Indiana (Huskers WIN 19-7)

[HuskerFan31]

I feel like we do this in every random game we have the bats going only to fart it away the next midweek game against K State or Omaha. But yes, if the moxie actually leads us to a streak of wins and momentum then so be it.

Yep, I was ready after OSU to actually build some momentum and look like a quality team going forward and we know how that turned out.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Huskers lead 14-5 at the stretch.

 

[Hskrbsbl2020]

Did that count?

Only if he's plunked his next AB.

We're an 8th place team that as was recently pointed out likes bat flips and plate stomps, I'm not sure we're up to date on the unwritten rules of baseball.

 

[HuskerFan31]

What message is Brockett getting? Hey man, you've done everything we've asked but not good enough so you're back to the bullpen? It's bullshit. Dude has earned it, just like Frank & Olson.

What message is he getting if he doesn't throw in a weekend series at all?

 

[HuskerFan31]

IU strands a runner at 3rd, NU leads 14-5 after 7.

I can say with certainty the older guys weren't too happy with Benson yesterday.

That's good to hear, although I'm not sure Benson could have hit a guy if he tried yesterday.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Everitt singles to start the 8th. Banjoff works a one-out walk.

Sartori is in the game as a pinch runner for Banjoff.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Matthews walks to load the bases.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Swansen drives in a run on what should have been an inning ending double play.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Jackson gets hit again to load the bases. Whalen is up 3rd next inning, seems like as good a time as any to drill him in the ribs.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Cervantes drives in a run on a walk. IU makes another pitching change.

 

[HuskerFan31]

17-5 after a Chick RBI walk.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Anglim misses out on his last chance at the cycle as he drives in a run on yet another HBP.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Everitt lines out to deep RF to leave em loaded.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Sartori stays in the game at LF, Palmer is in CF, Steil is at 1B, and Caron is behind the plate.

 

[HuskerFan31]

A one-out RBI double makes it 18-6. Pitching change for NU, Braxton Bragg is now in the game.

 

[HuskerFan31]

I can say with certainty the older guys weren't too happy with Benson yesterday.

Apparently Martin wasn't one of those guys.

 

[HuskerFan31]

A two-out RBI double makes it 18-7.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Anglim makes a sliding catch to end the inning.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Caron works a leadoff walk. Matthews walks with one out.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Swansen follows with an RBI base hit.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Jackson loads the bases on yet another HBP. Bragg needs to put somebody down in the 9th.

Cervantes lines into a double play to end the frame.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Bragg tosses a scoreless 9th. Huskers win it 19-7.

 

[Hskrbsbl2020]

Apparently Martin wasn't one of those guys.

He was, so my guess is he was told what already happened is enough.

I was more concerned with our guys taking 6 HBPs today than the stolen base yesterday. Someone needed to get hit in the 8th or 9th.

Yep, especially Core 3 times. Nobody came to his defense though, not even chirping, which says even more than lack of retaliation.
