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

[HuskerFan31]

Anderson follows with an infield single, he then advances on WP #4. Banjoff delivers a 2-run single to make it 6-0 Big Red!

Edit: Max gets a SB, so he only threw 3 WPs...

 

[Hskrbsbl2020]

Where did this IU catcher learn his form and why would coaches allow that? How did we lose 2 against this team let alone attempting to avoid the sweep today?

It's pretty common now. Griff uses it from time to time & Caron uses it as his primary.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Matthews Ks to end the inning. Sure would have been nice to get to this bullpen a little earlier in the series...

Interesting. I’ve seen it used time to time. Especially up in the count, but every time seems a tad odd. I’m a proud outfielder so catching was never my position. Ha

Edit: now I’m seeing I may have never noticed before. The Indiana catcher must draw my eyes to it more than Everitt and Caron have. I also don’t watch a lot of games on TV as I’m at most of the home games and this is the first road game I’ve been able to really watch.

Doesn't seem like a great technique when your pitcher keeps throwing it to the backstop.

 

[HuskerFan31]

6-1 now as Frank allows three consecutive batters to reach after a groundout.

 

[HuskerFan31]

An RBI single makes it 6-2, but NU throws a runner out 7-5 as he slides off the bag. A phantom obstruction call keeps the runner at 3rd. The next batter Ks for out number two.

 

[HuskerFan31]

A 2-run double from the 9 hole hitter cuts the lead to 6-4.

Unbelievable

 

[kidofSN]

As a former baseball umpire that interference call was just terrible and wrong!

 

[HuskerFan31]

NU escapes the 4th with the lead.

 

[HuskerFan31]

IU goes to LHP Ryan Kraft, who Gabe Swansen greets with a solo shot to LF!

 

[Hskrbsbl2020]

Kugler and his hack partner have orgasms when Indiana scores.

Gabe Swanson launches one, a no doubter, and the hack says, "just over the LF fence."

 

[HuskerFan31]

Jackson works a walk and advances on a Cervantes SAC bunt. Chick then reaches on a HBP.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Anglim follows with an RBI knock to CF.

Are they actually at the game or are they calling it remotely? It seems like they're calling it off a monitor and behind a tick.

Seemed like a stretch to me. I honestly think the umpiring crew figured out they made a bad call on the overslide, so they used the interference call as a make-good.

 

[coolonetoo]

I have to say I’m confused by sacrifice bunting in the 5th inning of a game in which 10 runs were scored in the first 4 innings.

 

[HuskerFan31]

NU strands two runners but leads it 8-4.

Agreed, it looked like he kept his hand on the bag, although that would be a really bad miss when the play happened right in front of him.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Frank locks it back in and tosses a 1-2-3 5th, although he got the benefit of a missed call at 1B.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Banjoff blasts a solo homer to start the 6th!

 

[HuskerFan31]

Jackson lines a two-out single to CF, Cervantes then reaches on a HBP.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Chick drills a 3-run homer to LF to make it 12-4!

 

[HuskerFan31]

Anglim then doubles, followed by an RBI single from Everitt.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Anderson walks which leads to another move to the pen.

 

[coolonetoo]

More runs. More.

Danan Hughes is a total hack.

 

[Can o' corn]

Agreed, it looked like he kept his hand on the bag, although that would be a really bad miss when the play happened right in front of him.

I thought he came off the bag for just a split second and the tag was still on him.

 

[RobsterMobster]

I thought so as well but the camera angle makes it tough either way.

 

[HuskerFan31]

You could be right, I thought the obstruction call was pretty bad either way.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Huskers lead 13-4 as we head to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[HuskerFan31]

IU has the bases loaded after a one-out "double" and a couple walks.

Pitching change for NU, Tyler Martin is now in the game.

 

[HuskerFan31]

If Whalen isn't plunked this game then I've lost all respect for Bolt, the entire staff & team.

Did that count?

 

[HuskerFan31]

Martin plunks Whalen on the foot but gets a K and a groundout to limit the damage.

 

[HuskerFan31]

NU tacks on the PAT with a Matthews solo homer to open the 7th.

 

[RobsterMobster]

You’d think we were destroying the league and currently in 1st with as many bat flips and plate stomps we take advantage of on every solo homerun.

I'm not a fan either, but if it gets this offense going I don't care.

 

[HuskerFan31]

Jackson reaches on a one-out HBP, Cervantes follows with a base hit to RF.

 

[RobsterMobster]

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.
