    Stranded bases loaded with 1 out in the 6th. Ouch.

    Trailing 1-5 after 4. Purdue has robbed us of 2 extra base hits (including a HR). Selvig had a rough outing. Shocked they are bringing him out for the 5th. Berkland had a couple rough ABs and Sutherlands strike out to end 4th was brutal. Swung at a pitch in the dirt with a 2-0 count and...

    They typically have 1 concession stand open if I recall correctly. Same prices as Vikings games.

    Not the best place to watch a game but it's better than nothing for this time of year. Nearly all seating is on first-base side. Deepest spot is slightly right of dead-center. That's a little over 400 if I recall. Left-Center power alley is also pretty deep but the LF/RF lines are...

    That's a good question and hard to answer at this point. I would lean "NO" on the non-conf schedule being easier. Arizona State was expected to finish in middle of Big12....which would usually equate to upper quarter of B1G . Houston was expected to finish in bottom half of Big12 which usually...

    We weren't at the start. But our RPI is high enough that if we do well in conference we have a chance. Big Ten is 4th highest conference RPI thanks to the newcomers. (Historical 5th to 7th) Rising tide lifts all boats.

    5 solo HRs is crazy. The strikeouts are becoming an issue unfortunately. Fun series though and hopefully a sign of good things to come. Purdue will be a tough test to start conference play. Hope a decent crowd comes out to USB Stadium.

    They absolutely need Neels to pick it up. Way too many strikeouts behind Berkland. Eventually they're just going to walk Drew.

    Threatened a couple times but 9 k's for our hitters thru 4 innings. Oof Down 0-3. Hope we can hang around. Remington looked good in first and third but got hit hard in second.

    Found a 247 ASU baseball message board and they are predictably melting down. Blaming the players and coaches for losing last night. Kind of funny. Switching gears, nobody has mentioned that McDevitt got ejected last night. It appears he was arguing the calling of a ball for disengaging...

    Yeah that would have hurt bad. Gophers are first team to hit ASU bullpen this year and since they had 2 midweek games this extra inning contest might stretch them a bit. Let's win another one!
