SB Open Thread vs NEB @ 1pm BTN
The SB Team is playing in Lincoln this afternoon in a rubber match against NEB. On Friday, NEB squeeked out a 1-0 win in the bitter cold. A walk came back to bite us.
Yesterday, we came back with revenge and Romo and So-Lo went deep. In SB terms we say they put the bats in the oven overnight to warm them up.
Today's game-time weather should be about 65F so the cold will not be a factor.

Lets win this series!!
Let's go Blue!!
the MoJo going. Top 1st, 2 on and no outs.
be surprised if the NEB pitcher gets called for an Illegal pitch. When she rocks back, her lead foot is very close to losing contact with the pitching plate.
2 runs scored on the error by the SS.
She won't. Who are we kidding here? It doesn't matter the sport, the B1G contiune to lead the nation in one thing: incompetent officiating.
and 2 runners on.
is sold out vs OSU, does anyone know where I might be able to find tickets?
So she gets hit in the arm but somehow it's a ground out?!
baII hit Chistner Bad caII again but were up 2-0
hit kelsey. The question is whether it is in the strike zone, either way it is a dead ball.
Bad call by the Umps and this one is easy. The ball makes a different sound coming off the bat compared to an arm or arm guard. Tisk tisk
Betsa having a little trouble with the strike zone so far today.
Rough start so far for Betsa... bases loaded, no outs. Struggling to find the zone.
reaIIy struggIing AGAIN
swing was a checked swing but the Umpires ruled it a full swing. In this case, it does not matter if the ball hits the player or not. It is still a strike and a dead ball.
*Kelly Christner
Pathetic officiating. What a surprise.
Fucking hate this conference.
Huskers plate one on a sac fly. Let's stop the damage here.
Betsa chased, bases loaded with 1 out for Dreisenga. Despite our shiny record/ranking, this team does not look like a world series team, or what was expected to possibly he our best team ever.
Betsa not the same pitcher this year as last. Wonder what the deal is. Makes you appreciate how nice it was to have Wagner last year.

Pitching is not there for a championship.

Sadly I agree.
Surprised Blanco hasn't got a couple innings in here and there recently.

Just shows how solid Wagner was last season.
No, and it's hard to see it shoring up before the B10 Championship or NCAA run. Betsa's too quick to get down on herself and lose confidence. Only so much a coach and teammates can do when a player is fragile like that.
We are sorely missing both Wagner and Sweet. Poor play from both of these key positions in the field too often. Catchers are allowing too many pass balls, doing a poor job of framing pitches, and struggling to throw out runners.
Is the freshman catcher hurt? Not played in this series that I've seen.

Not that I know of, but I thought Falk has been better defensively. I assumed Sobzcek's bat was keeping her in, but she hasn't been DP either, so who knows
that was a bad start ,, need a answer this inning
Nice hit by Falk double to the fence to start the 2nd. Would be nice if Christner's bat warmed up. She's way down on HR this year, as is the whole team, right?
I missed the first game, is this the Nebraska pitcher who shut us out?
Yes. Not as good as Friday. We are swinging bats better today though.

deIivers 4-3 MICHIGAN!
wow, we were 0-20 with RISP. That's not very good....
we did have 2 HRs with runners 0n first
Go blue!
Looking ahead we (6-2) play: MSU, OSU, Maryland, PSU, Rutgers. We have no business dropping a game to anyone not named OSU.
Minny (7-1) has Wisconsin, Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland, Iowa.
osu is still garbage. Don't be fooled by their bloated record.
We need some outs here. C'mon Sara!
These announcers are utter shit. Just like everyone employed by this conference is.
Blatantly rooting against us. I'm tired of it.
I actually think they are Nebraska announcers if they are the same crew from Friday.

No, the PBP guy does all the sports that the BTN people don't care about enough to hire specialized PBP people for. I recognize that vapid voice. He always roots against us.
The woman's parents were in the crowd Friday so she gotta be a homer

Driesenga's velocity is down from her norm, accounting for these hittable breaking pitches perhaps. Maybe some fatigue from throwing yesterday.

That just looks like tired pitching. Bring on Blanco!
