  • Rankings above are from Baseball America. I think everyone else that does this just takes the highest ranking available from any poll and uses that without explanation. I don't have any problems with Rivals, Collegiate Baseball, or the National College Baseball Writers Association (NCBW). I'm just trying to be consistent, although I keep wondering, what the hell is with the NCBW people ranking us at #30?


  • If you didn't see it, Doug Kroll over at Rivals does a really nice piece on this year's team with an interview with head coach Mike Anderson.

Texas

gets home field cooking already, as there is a run down at second base. The runner is eventually tagged out, but then given the base as about 15 minutes later, as the umps call a balk.

turns out on the reply it is correct, but they waited until an entire rundown play had taken place to make the call.

not

much action so far.

Optiz has picked up an error on a throwing error to first, otherwise, the pitchers are shutting them down for now

Johnston

Kline up next. top of the third, one out, 0-0.

well

on the replay, the Husker runner Kline was safe.

bad call.

lead-off guy gets on base for Texas. that's not a good sign.

Go Big Red!

bottom

of the third, Texas gets the lead-off guy all the way to third, but that's it, he's stranded there.

too bad. :)

Go Big Red!

bottom

of the fifth now.

Kyle Russell draws a walk to get on base - he's the lead off guy.

and then he's thrown out at second - sac bunt didn't work for the horns.

Go Big Red!

Abeita

throws out out the Texas dude at second, caught stealing, after a pitch out, great timing, even though the pitch out was high.

Go Big Red!

Nimmo

nabs a center field fly.

Damn!

Kline hits what should have been a sure double.

went past second, then bounced on the turf, and twisted his knee weird, going down.

he's put out.... crap, what a bad break.

although he's up, now, walking back toward the dugout.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 7:31 PM CDT   0 recs

he stopped

as he passed second, as he stopped, he turned and twisted his knee.

argh.

Go Big Red!

Mort

gets a double with two outs, so maybe something can happen here.

Mort's sixth double of the season. Damn, if Kline hadn't twisted his knee, we'd have a run.

Go Big Red!

walk!

Optiz gets a free trip to first.

Pitching coach has come out, and Abeita comes to the plate. We need you know, man!

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 7:39 PM CDT   0 recs

Abeita

gets a base hit up the middle after driving the pitch count to 3-2.....

hit perfectly, and drives in a run, Abeita safe at first, so we have runners at the corners.

Go Big Red!

I just got back from the KU - Texas A&M game

The Nebraska - Texas game is actually on the tube today!  Great seeing Big-12 baseball on television.  I saw the Huskers take the 2-0 led.

Kansas lost a tough one today.  They led 3-1 and 6-3 during the game but in the end could not close the deal.  Just the same, the team looked pretty good today and it was a nice, if cold, day at the park.

Texas Tech is a pretty scrappy team.  Baylor seems to have entered bizzaro world.  For a month they could do no wrong.  Last two weeks it seems like they couldn't score with a roll of hundreds at the Mustang Ranch.

Baylor

i guess they're opening the door for someone else to get into the NCAA tourney.

I don't get it either.

teams slump, though. I keep wondering if the Huskers can maintain this pace.

Go Big Red!

I'm already playing cellar watch here in Lawrence

I'm hoping for Texas Tech, Kansas State and Oklahoma to lose every game.  Just so Kansas can make the top eight.  If Baylor keeps playing like this they will join the macabre game soon.

Thad Weber

is about done....

thrown about 73 pitches at the bottom of the seventh, just gave up a walk to Brandon Belt.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 8:06 PM CDT   0 recs

Weber

retires the side in the seventh, getting Russell to fly out.

You have to believe he's done now, since this game is at 2-0.

We do a damn good job on defense and pitching of getting ourselves out of jams.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 8:16 PM CDT   0 recs

Weber

still out there.

2-0 lead, bottom of the eighth inning.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 8:24 PM CDT   0 recs

and

still striking people out....

third strike out at 93 pitches in the bottom of the 8th.

Whoeee!

Go Big Red!

He looks good to me.

Nice to see a starting pitcher out there in the eighth inning.  He looks like he knows what he is doing.

by James Quinn on Mar 29, 2008 8:27 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

and

another strike out!

two out, bottom of the eighth

first five innings he didn't have a single K.

Go Big Red!

by corn blight on Mar 29, 2008 8:27 PM CDT   0 recs

Weber

retires the side, with two K's, and an easy ground out

man, Eric Newman was quite the hire, wasn't he?

Go Big Red!

Another big win for NU

Nebraska goes for the sweep tomorrow.  Weber owned the Horns today.  Are the Huskers really this good?

by James Quinn on Mar 29, 2008 8:39 PM CDT   0 recs

well.

Hell.

I think it's just the combination of guys we have. The pitching has been just been phenomenal.

And my phone rings..... that usually only does that after football games.

Go Big Red!

WHOOOOEEE

A complete game for Thad Weber.

Shuts out the Texas Longhorns, only allowing two hits.

Holy Cow!

Go Big Red!
