Looks like we're going with the same approach as the second trip to Arizona: Throw Matt Waldron on Thursday and maintain the regular rotation for the rest of the weekend. Doubleheader on Saturday, so Warren will be going on one day less rest.

Hmm. It looks like they beat some decent teens but lost some to some bad teams as well.

Hopefully we're a "bad" team then, right?

Yeah, beat Arkansas and Michigan then lost two vs Pacific. Head scratcher.

Today will likely be a Johnny Wholestaff day, with most guys who throw today expected to be available again on Saturday's doubleheader...

Also, do we have plans for a beer garden behind the Cal Poly dugout this year?

[coolonetoo]

Beyond ridiculous. This game was well in hand but pitching and defense have simultaneously collapsed. Six hits, six walks, two batters hit and three errors the last three innings of the game? Hot garbage.

[Truehuskerfan]

Beyond ridiculous. This game was well in hand but pitching and defense have simultaneously collapsed. Six hits, six walks, two batters hit and three errors the last three innings of the game? Hot garbage.

Some of this is due to the depleted pitching staff, but they also just seemed to fall apart at a key time, and didn't make any attempt at a comeback. As good as the comeback at Wichita State on Sunday was, this one was just as bad. We're just not going to go very far when we go deep into the bullpen unless we can find some young arms to step up.

 

[TheHuskeRed]

Sat thru it ... has to be close to the worst performance I’ve seen at Haymarket in 20 years. Team continues to be weak in bunting fundamentals, hitting with men in scoring position and less than two outs, pitchers struggling and Silva stands in the dugout perplexed instead of going out to mentor. Makings of a long season fellas ... Silva needs to leave.

 

[k9_r]

That was not good baseball.

 

[k9_r]

Silva needs to leave.

With Mike Kirby right behind him.

 

[jurgy]

Just got home from the game. Was hard to watch the whole lonnng thing. Hope we come out tomorrow a lot! more focused.

 

[saluno22]

Thanks, @RobsterMobster!.

Looks like a ton of walks issued by our staff. Yuck.

[RebelHusker]

That was not good baseball.

I will wait a few more games before I start questioning
recruiting and training. I have come to the conclusion,
that just because you played major league baseball,
does not mean you know how to prepare a team, and
recruit a team, and hire good coaches to help you........
