This team is in complete free fall. I'm not even listening to this clunker, but the stats pretty much tell the story. At this point, I almost expect to get swept. In fact, it is not hard to see this team not getting another win the rest of the season. But remember-2017 B1G Champions! Apparently that's all that matters.

I'm still trying to figure out how this team was able to go on the road and win a series against Baylor. Naively, that made me think at the time maybe there really was something good with this team.

At that point, Baylor's only wins were against Holy Cross and Cornell, and had lost to every decent team they faced, so I figured they were overrated. They have actually gotten better as the season has moved along, though, I'd love to know what that feels like again :|

Our first two batters get hits. Then one hit the next 27 outs. One. ONE. ONE!!!!

This is the most disheartening loss I can remember. We’ve lost to bad teams before but Northwestern absolutely owned us today.

$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%$&@#%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
