I can't believe they put that guy back on the mound. These coaching decisions are absolute shit. ****ing ametures.
Wow a five spot in the ninth. I think I’m gonna take a break from this team.
Don't worry, the geniuses on twitter who were claiming this team was good enough to host a regional will determine that Indiana is actually a national championship darkhorse so this is fine.
Barring a miraculous late season run, this might break the team. You could just feel it the last month: something was just off. Brockett’s no hitter was a temporary distraction from major flaws. No closer, lack of timely hitting—end of game meltdowns against Rutgers/creighton, SDS—just no toughness whatsoever.
Sorry but Bolt sucks as a coach. This team is mentally weak and that's on coaching. The repetitive moronic decisions they make has cost them how many games this year? But hey, we're close!
Sound guy needs to start playing Benny Hill when Huskers have the lead heading to the 8th.
We have the best fan support by a large margin, some of the best facilities as well.
We are underperforming majorly, I’d like to see someone else come in.
Never been a baseball guy myself, but I feel bad for those of you that follow this team closely. Awful.
And a lot of in-state talent that needs to be top priority in Lincoln instead of kicking our ass in Creighton blue etc.
This many late inning meltdowns is not an anomaly. Bolt was tough as nails as a player. He has not been able to figure out how to teach it to his players. It’s crazy how little confidence this team has in the 8/9th innings. Even South Dakota state was tougher than them…
Should they give Childress the job like they should have when Van Horn left?
I agree with local talent just like FB & BB. I don’t think new AD makes a change this year but maybe after next if it doesn’t change.
Laughable. Bolt sucks. Big is a mid major conference in baseball. And Bolt teams only feed on the bottom dwellers of the BIG. Example Creighton is trash and is 3-0 against Bolts team
My expectation is to win this mid major league every year
I’m sure that doesn’t align with most, sadly
I don’t look too deep at a loss like this other than to say - just a brutally terrible coaching decision to use Perry. What more do you need to see coach? Bolt may have been a tough player, but he’s either dumb or stubborn when it comes to this guy. Probably stubborn, it seems to be a baseball coaching thing.
Nebraska is a very good program but just doesn’t have the depth to compete in these mid week games. Oh wait this is the weekend…
wonder if throwing all those arms on Wednesday affected our relievers. Worthley didn’t look sharp among others. What a terrible strategy on Wed and still got the loss.
Bolt needs to adopt the Constanza strategy …

Jmo bolt took a chance with a lot of transfers and it’s not working, when the pitching is good the hitting isn’t and I’ll say this team has a lot of under 300 hitters which doesn’t work if your pitching struggles. At one point last night Nebraska had left on base 8 compared to Indiana 3 and we lead by 1 run
The bull pen is the glaring weakness. I thought we fired the guy who was the problem with our pitching🤷? Maybe the pitching coach we thought was the solution isn’t? I’m no sure NU will ever be able to attract a deep enough pitching staff to win consistently
I mean what Childress did with Sears is pretty remarkable. I think hitting is a bigger weakness than pitching. Indianas pitching was garbage and struggled to get runs across. We consistently suck with guys that have nearly double digit eras.
Hell I bet I could strike out quite a few huskers with my nasty 57mph fastball

Losing in the ninth inning like that was inexcusable..
How many more times is Bolt going to realize that Perry isn’t a game closer..
Also fundamentally throwing back to 2nd base should have been an out instead of extra runs ..😩

I’m sure the hitting needs drastic improvement, but the lack of pitching depth would make it difficult for many teams to win games. Giving up as many runs as they do during the week tells me as much. You’re not going to be hitting great all season, your pitching and defense is what needs to be your backbone.
That was embarrassing last night. I hope the boys come out focused and ready to play today.
Huskers down 1-0, leadoff double followed by 3 strikeouts. Including their best hitter for average and a 3-1 count. Losing baseball. Hope I'm wrong.
Husker hitters 2 for their last 30 with runners in scoring position.
