    Oof. NDSU isn't as bad as their record but that is a brutal loss. The bats are ice cold right now and the after such a promising start the season feels in danger of slipping away.

    Illinois played to go all out to win this one. After going 0-3 last week and with a chance of only getting one more game in that was probably the smart move. Really disappointed we had two leadoff doubles but failed to score each time.

    Abysmal hitting tonight. 4 hits total. 1 for 13 from top 3 with 6 left on base. No hits after 5th inning. Ugh. Great pitching by Selvig and Sperry go to waste. Need to flush that and take 2 tomorrow.

    Good listen. You can hear the optimism in his voice that he feels he might have something. At the very least we don't seem to be as susceptible to injuries derailing our season.

    Gophers win 11-8. Not the prettiest game by any stretch. Gonzaga collected 3 more hits but thanks to a ridiculous 14 free bases the Gophers were able to plate 11. I jinxed the team by talking about fielding. 2 errors and a couple other misplays that were called hits helped Gonzaga. Win is...

    On the topic of free-passes by the pitching staff I think this table and image really shows how elite the current team has been through 15 games. Granted this is a small sample and it remains to be seen how it holds up through a full season but the results are promising. The table shows the...

    The hitting lineup from top to bottom is pretty good. Our top 7 hitters have really produced and even Lippe, who would be considered the 8th or 9th best hitter makes up for it by walking a lot. I haven't dug into the strikeout stats but it seems like we're having better ABs and putting pressure...

    Hamilton was a transfer i was really excited about. He got off to a slow start but he sure has shown his value lately. 9-19 with 3 doubles in last 7 games. His glove is good too.
