24-11. Let’s get another W today

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Sweep would be huge. We tend to drop a game on Saturday so today is big. Hope the bats start where they left off.

NW has several players out under covid protocol so that should help.

Question is how many are pitchers ?

 

[Husker Hambone]

Just need to win the series... and then the next one.

Question is how many are pitchers ?

Not sure it matters as NW has one of the worst pitching staffs in the Big Ten anyway. They've allowed a staggering 30 more hits than total innings pitched. NW also has the worst fielding PCT. in and the 2nd lowest opponent strikeout rate in the Big Ten. They don't walk a lot of batters which means they have a lot of finesse pitchers with below average arm talent.

Translation: Dudes are always reaching base vs. Northwestern. and they struggle getting outs unless you hit the ball right to a defender.

 

[inthedeed]

are 30 wins possible and how?

Stop playing like garbage today and get a game in tomorrow, then split next weekend and win 2 of 3 from Michigan. Very possible.

NW 3 -- Huskers 0, Top of the 4th

Boo. Let's go Big Red!!!!

 

[inthedeed]

is there any possibility we can get 26 wins?

 

[Redscarlet]

Hroach has been struggling most of his outings..

Bases loaded in the first with one out and no runs has killed us..

 

[schuele]

2-run HR for Schwellenbach. Still down 3-2, but finally some life.

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Meanwhile, BiG TeN NeTwOrK had a show replaying the Kellogg to Westerkamo Hail Mary as NU beat NW on the final play.

 

[schuele]

Could Everett play 1B when he's not behind the plate? I get that he needs a break from catching from time to time, but Steil is something like 1-for-the-past-month.

 

[schuele]

Solo HRs for the Cats give them their 3-run lead back. 5-2 now.

 

[Redscarlet]

Time to rally in the 7th with the meat of the lineup to bat..

 

[HuskerHackFraud]

Let's go! Get it Nebraska!

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Tied up

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Well no not yet 5-4

 

[Redscarlet]

BOOM!

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

NOW it’s tied up.

Stupid announcer

 

[Redscarlet]

Quite the rally inning I was hoping for...

Maryland wins
Indiana beats Michigan 13-8
Ioway is getting spanked 12-1 in the T8..

 

[bigboxes]

Time to rally in the 7th with the meat of the lineup to bat..

That’s right

8-5 good guys

Kenny Powers pitching for NW.

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

I’m almost feeling sorry for the NW bullpen at this point.
11-5 after 8

are you feeling sorry for them?

RollingLaughAt least they had more balls than that badger football team last fall.Winking

I think you have to take away their two starters and that leaves 4. Probably going to have to use some position players

 

[schuele]

Great comeback win. Needed this one, since it sounds like NW might COVID out on Sunday.
