Especially when you consider that in the first we were close to putting up 3-4 runs and we were also inches from snagging a line drive at SS to get out of the 2nd without giving up any runs. Both those things happen and who knows how the dynamics of the rest of the game play out. Funny game...

Pitching 3 true freshman and a sophomore who has only thrown 13 innings in last 3 seasons because of Tommy-John surgery was not a good spot. We just don't have the horses to play 2 mid-week games against a t25-35 team like Kansas. 5 games in 6 days stretched us too thin.

Weather forecast for Eugene hasn't improved at all. Friday: 50 degrees, 100% chance of rain, 0.25 inches of rainfall expected Saturday: 47 degrees, 100% chance of rain, 0.50 inches of rainfall expected Sunday: 51 degrees, 100% chance of rain, 1.00 inches of rainfall expected

Nah, other than today it's been a pretty fun season.

Losing 1-29 after 7 innings. This is simply ugly. Flush this from memory and never speak about it again.

Also, the 5 HR inning masks the fact that we misplayed another ball in the OF that should have been an out but instead was registered a triple.

Well that escalated quickly.

Ryerse ran into trouble in the 2nd. A couple fielding miscues certainly didn't help. Line drive off Spanier's glove at SS was ruled a single but if he makes the snag we get out of the inning with no runs. Hellum also committed an error on a routine single to RF. Kansas adds a HR to make it...

Having 5 games in 6 days can stretch the pitchers a bit. Ryerse got the start today but I'm fully expecting it to be a bullpen day. In b1 we managed a hit and worked 3 walks but somehow only got 1 run across. Up 1-0 and end 1.

Rooney was great. Really settled things down and saved us from using too many more arms. Getting a win tomorrow would be huge considering it's unclear how many games we will get to play this weekend.

Well it took 95 minutes but we finally finished the first three innings. Gophers lead 7-5 in what has been an ugly and slow paced game. Gophers have walked 8 and are on their third pitcher.

Friday's game time already moved up to 4pm PT (6 CDT)

The umpiring was strange all weekend. Seemed to be reviewing a lot of calls and there were a couple that seemed so obvious to the naked eye that it was no surprise they got reversed. The ground out to start the game on Sunday (Purdue called out but reversed to safe) and the play at the plate...

Good, Bad, Ugly from this weekend vs the Boilers Good 1. Weber Neels got back on track. Went 4-11 with two doubles and a HR. They absolutely need his bat in the middle of the lineup. 2. Brayden Hellum went 5-12 with a double. 3. Jack Spanier went 4-10 and continues to be a good threat as...
