Opponents are now 18-24, 75%, in SB attempts. Our media guys need to que up all holds this year with a stop watch and have it on Christy's desk in the morning.
2021 was 15-29, 52%
2020 was covid
2019 was 28-45, 62%
2018 was 37-54, 69%
On another note, disappointed in the 2nd inning pitch calling. Reminded me of Silva at Regionals in 2019 with Gomes.

Phenomenal play. @HuskerFan31 likely wet himself and is clearing the drool. 😃
Big for Brockett after the E3 cost a run, walk, and wild pitch - he finished it himself. I fully expect him to be in the mix for the 2023 weekend rotation. He has a great arsenal, can hold runners well, just needs his FB a couple ticks higher which should happen.
19-25, 76% in SB attempts. Curious if Griff is wearing down.
Nice outing by Brockett.
Top 6th
Another 1-2-3 inning for the Huskers.

One out walk for Brockett. The next batter K’s but the runner steals 2nd. CJ Hood now comes into the game. A walk puts runners on 1st and 2nd. Pop out to 1st ends the threat.

Leadoff double to LF for Chick and passed ball advances him to 3rd. Anderson is on with a lucky HBP. Everitt K’s. Anglim Also K’s. Jessen falls on his face to get thrown out at 1st. What a pathetic inning from our 3-4-5-6 hitters to go 0-3 with RISP and a lucky HBP.
Bottom 8th
Emmett Olson now in to pitch in as he pitches a 1-2-3 inning.

Steil K’s. Core Jackson on with an E4 fielding error but of course he’s picked off at 1st. Wimmers with an infield single (good for him all things considered). Banjoff in to pinch run for Wimmers. An E1 advances Banjoff to 2nd. Matthews with a a groundout to end the game.
Huskers 100% deserve to lose 3-2.

Steil, a former SS, with the game changing/deciding error at 1B.
Bolt not challenging Matthews steal attempt at 2B has me curious.
Jackson picked off at 1st, twice.
2-16 with RISP.
1st & 3rd with 0 outs, with our 4-5-6 up, can't score.
Creighton with 5 errors, and still wins.
2022 Husker baseball folks. I'm sure pitching will be blamed, once again.

Does anybody think it’s possible for Jelkin to work his way into the weekend rotation by year end?
This has to be the most embarrassing loss of the year to this moment, right? I mean you can’t lose to little bro while they give up 5 errors in the game, right? Luckily the number of craps given to baseball in this state is about 0 right now, so it will probably be forgotten about by next week. But still, mens sports in general really need to stop embarrassing us every chance they get!
I’d be on board. I have limited knowledge of the program and some on here seem to know the team / sport a lot more than I. Just curious if those guys could develop enough before year end or if they are a year away from becoming weekend guys?
Seeing the results each game I say let them develop and take the losses as normal. We are losing anyway at this point. Frank needs to be in the bullpen anyway and at some point we have to accept the fact that Shay and McCarville may not be the answers.
Although the biggest issue is hitting with runners in scoring position and I have no idea how we fix that as we’ve played pretty much everyone to this point. We have a league low .241 BA, rank 12/13 with a .362 SLG%, and a league low .325 OB%. Less we not forget we rank 10% in fielding percentage as well.
Yes & move McCarville to the bullpen.
He'd be my weekday SP for a couple weeks as trial.
21-4 against a way inferior opponent still sticks in my crawl. There's been a few so for, and that few is too many.
The football team has been defying all logic for years and now it’s starting to bleed over into other programs.
As a weekend guy? He's got A LOT of work to do to be a weekend guy. This summer and fall will pretty much dictate his future. Big fan of Drew; great kid from a great family & he works his tail off. So a better question to ask, at least for me, August thru October.
I don't know if I'd go that far, although I am partial to good defense at 2B.
I went back and watched that 8th inning, a couple of the pitches they swung at were even further out of the zone than I could see from the stands. It's simply inexcusable to not score at least one run in that scenario.
It's true that if we hit better w/RISP we would have more wins and would have beaten Creighton but we're actually hitting better w/RISP than our overall batting.
.242 overall
.263 w/RISP (109% better)
This is tracking the same, comparatively, as last year.
.279 overall
.304 w/RISP (109% better)
We're just a poor hitting team.
I can’t believe I’m correcting k9_r math, but that’s 9% better. I understand the point, but, in the name of accuracy…
This is, of course, the real point and I think by now it’s sadly understood by all who follow this team.
