Darn intern forgot to change the date for our lineup.

 

[saluno22]

Kansas State is starting their leading hitter tonight on the mound. Just 2.2 IP so far this season. Unlike all of the pitchers listed the roster, Brennan is a lefty.

Warren is not expected to go long tonight and will pitch again on Sunday at Rutgers.

Saluno, been meaning to ask, what's with the backwards calendar dates?

 

[saluno22]

Saluno, been meaning to ask, what's with the backwards calendar dates?

It's what I'm used to at work and it has infiltrated the rest of my life.

 

[saluno22]

Glad the live stats are being updated...

 

[HuskersNC]

Why did Greg Sharpe just say Scott Schreiber was inexperienced? Dude's a senior, I don't care if he's played more OF/DH than 1B, you should know to cover your base on a bunt

 

[saluno22]

 

[RobsterMobster]

Glad the live stats are being updated...

No crap huh? I’m at home with a cold and have no radio in the room so was hoping to check those every now any then. We’re down 4-2 after 5?

4-3 still B5. KSU now on their 4th pitcher of the night (this guy was their starter last week against us).

Unfortunately I need to get up early for work tomorrow, so not much more from me tonight.

 

[huskerbaseball13]

16-18? Apparently we are just a few “grinders” short.

 

[saluno22]

The Wildcats snap a 9-game losing streak.
The Huskers still have not won consecutive games since winning 3 in a row against Cal Poly, the last of which was on 10 March.
