All Things Gopher Baseball

Another home loss, as Maryland hits 3 home runs and cruises to a 8-2 win. 3 errors officially, and could have been charged with more. Hard to believe we still have just 1 conference win at home.

A day after the Gophers couldn't take advantage of 5 Terrapin errors in an 8-5 loss, today they never lead in an 11-10 loss in the home finale. The bats finally showed some life to rally after being down 9-1, but 10 walks combined with a couple missed opportunities to get outs at home plate spells another L.

Looks like we will finish in 16th place. 1-14 at home in conference play. Even in the dumpster fire season of 2021, we were 4-14 at home. Guessing this is worst home conference record in program history. The hitting has been disappointing. Coming into today, we were last in runs scored in Big 10 play. The second half of season has gone south.

We just didn't have the quality depth to withstand the number of injuries we got hit with this year. Offensively I don't think we had a single game where all 9 of our preseason starters were available. Starts from game 1 with Perry being out the first few weeks, then Fitzgerald is out a while, then the big loss of Spanier, Hokenson misses some time, Knoll the last month and a half and Elbeery too. There were a number of guys really playing through some stuff too especially in weeks 3-7 or so.
On the mound I was really hoping we would add another starter last summer but we weren't able to and then we get hit with Semb deciding to be done with baseball over winter break and we actually held up pretty well for the most part until the Selvig injury and that really unravled things.
