[TheHuskeRed]

You're very welcome. Wish I had better things to say. Another walk from Chad.

 

[gunNrun]

Radio saying Palkert warming up

 

[TheHuskeRed]

I know it's early in the season and you want to get your pitchers innings but when it's obvious a guy is off you need to yank him.

Chads gets a weak pop up to second for out one. Ball almost dropped as three guys converged.

First 4 games have felt like an extension of last year............

I know it's early in the season and you want to get your pitchers innings but when it's obvious a guy is off you need to yank him.

I still don't understand what we are doing with him. He was dominating as a closer last year, and now we are trying to stretch him out and eventually make him a starter? It's not working so far.

 

[gunNrun]

Not the way we want the game to end...
Better performance than Thursday.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Go Big Red!

 

[Truehuskerfan]

First 4 games have felt like an extension of last year............

This was supposed to be a team that was going to do it with dominating pitching, and it just hasn't been there thus far.

 

[gunNrun]

I will say
that a few more loses
will put this team out of talking about Hosting a Regional.

Tough Love
GBR!

 

[huskerbaseball13]

First 4 games have felt like an extension of last year............

Extension of the last five years if we are being honest. Long ways to go...but with the upcoming schedule it appears this team will be not putting themselves in a good position for a team that some were talking about potentially hosting
