Gomes in there.

 

[NETransplant]

Let's go Gomes

 

[cubsker]

easy 4-3, 1 out.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

2 outs away

 

[cubsker]

some real wild ones from gomes and he walks him. ugh

 

[cubsker]

base hit and the tying run comes to the plate with their big hitters up.

 

[EATAFAT1]

Oofta

 

[LikeNebraska]

Clenching ouranus

 

[Kleitusbpn]

...because it just had to get exciting.

 

[cubsker]

lazy fly to center, 2 outs.

 

[schuele]

Huge out #2

 

[cubsker]

base hit, it's 5-3.

 

[cubsker]

just the leading home run hitter in the big 12 up, no big deal.

 

[bmb81664]

maybe you walk him?

 

[cubsker]

home run, **** everything.

 

[Huskertransplant]

Gut punch

 

[cubsker]

that's what you get when you walk scrubs.

 

[schuele]

Holy sh------

Unbelievable.

Okay, get the tying run in the bottom.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

First time all season we've blown a lead in the 9th inning.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

Way to piss the game away.

 

[cubsker]

Gomes, hallmark, and chick due up.

 

[EATAFAT1]

SMFH

 

[regionsdoc]

ok, just risky to waste your only other reliever for 1 batter if somehow the pokes tie it.

Just dumb. Hindsite is 20/20, but why pull Shay when he is warm and confident, and can throw off speed pitches. This is all on Silva/Erstad—-again.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

Had plenty of chances earlier in the game to blow a hole too big to overcome.

 

[cubsker]

that was my thinking.

 

[cubsker]

henwood pinch hits and meekly grounds out.

 

[Redondo]

Just dumb. Hindsite is 20/20, but why pull Shay when he is warm and confident, and can throw off speed pitches. This is all on Silva/Erstad—-again.

I have to say I felt strongly at the time the starter was left in too long

Gotta disagree. You put your best arm out there and count on him to get 3 outs. Worked yesterday and all season. Just not tonight. Rally time

 

[keilwitzg]

We do good at night.

I agree. You have a closer for a reason.

 

[cubsker]

hallmark flies out, 2 down.

Baseball is all about matchups. Power teams love pitchers who have only one pitch—fastball.

 

[cubsker]

I agree. You have a closer for a reason.

gomes is not a lockdown closer. if he was, he would have been in the game in the 8th.

 

[cubsker]

roskam up, guess chick is out when gomes went in to pitch.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

To me, this as much on the offense too. The bats were almost completely silent for the last half of the game.

 

[Truehuskerfan]

He's been doing it all season. Never blown a save until this point.

 

[cubsker]

strike 3 is 4 inches outside.

 

[cubsker]

we ain't winning 3 in a row with what's left of our pitching.

 

[Hoosker Du]

I agree. You have a closer for a reason.

But do you continue to throw fast balls to a guy that has hit 19 HRs? F*ck no you don't! Guys with 19 HRs aren't hitting breaking balls out of the park.
