Husker Baseball vs Iowa 4/16

The big difference in this game is errors. Play sloppy > lose. The Huskers seem to be lacking a power hitter this year. Meyers looks like their best player this year. He pitched well today despite getting in trouble in the 6th.

He is Jake's our best all around player no question.

Talk to Paul once in a while great family.
 
Could sure use an insurance run here, given the Hawks' power.
 
I was telling my wife that we sure could use another run. She's a Texas fan. Any Texas team before the Huskers. Can't believe I've put up with her for 24 years. :D
I do miss playing the Horns. My favorite moment in Nebraska baseball history is still the time at The Buck when Dan Johnson screamed at Augie Garrido to get the *&^#%%# off the field.

I think that Alvarado is our number two player, after Meyers. He's solid both offensively and defensively. In for the save attempt.

GO HUSKERS!
 
Thanks to Mojo for bailing us out on what would have been the worst baseball weekend in years.
 
With all that hubbub the past two days, we're still only one game back from B10 lead, and still ahead of Iowa in the standings.

Disappointing series, but not a crippler. If NU had gone 1-1-1 at Indiana and 2-1 the past two weekends, most would probably call that a good start to the conference season. Not a blistering start, but pretty good.

Goes to show that Iowa is tougher than we'd like to believe. All three games could have gone either way. They've got more power and Adams is a beast. He won't be back next year for the Hawkeyes. He'll be in the MLB.
I didn't underestimate Iowa. I certainly didn't expect them to be a pushover. But they are a team that we absolutely should win the series against at home.
 
Hey! Where's all the Hawkeye fans? I need them to like my posts like yesterday! @SWIowahawks, at least you got to watch them lose on BTN. :D

Maybe we can find some way to play all of our games on Sunday? We're 6-0-1 on Sunday this year.
Yeah but the Huskers need to do that, since they're essentially throwing their Friday night starter on Sundays. Puts a real premium on Sunday wins.
 
Those who said Iowa wasn't a very good baseball team are clueless.

Only thing that will hurt them is their pitching staff has some injuries and mostly won't have the staff the top half of the league like Nebraska did today.

Or...our pitching isn't that great. Giving up 3 HRs in one game is fking ridiculous.
 
Maybe so, but Adams leads the league in HRs. Maybe you shouldn't have an aneurysm over things you have no control over.

Or...maybe our pitching coach shouldn't suck, so our pitching staff gives up 3 HRs in one game, and we go 1-2 vs a team that lost series to Northwestern and K-State. I had no impact on losing a series to Iowa. Our coaching staff, however, did.
