    Going to extra innings against Jackrabbits. If our loss to Kansas was one that got away, winning this game would be an absolute steal. The bats have been completely dead except for Hamilton. I think we've only hit it out of the infield like 3 or 4 times. One of our 2 runs was on a balk.

    Didn't get to make it to USB tonight but the Gophers look dominant on BTN+. This is a very fun team to watch.

    Listening to the announcers you would think we're losing by 20 at halftime. We'll be fine.

    A couple intangibles that really stand out from the Gophers vs their opponents: 1. Fielding: Gophers have committed 6 fielding errors and have a .984 fielding percentage. Opponents have committed 21 errors and sport a .944 fielding percentage. You'd have to go back to 2018 for the last time...

    Couple days old but we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the honors Weber Neels earned last week/weekend. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. – University of Minnesota senior catcher Weber Neels has picked up a pair of national weekly honors for his performance last week against Kansas, as announced by...

    The hitting has been great this year but something to keep an eye on is the future development. Our production is top-heavy at the moment with the senior class getting 57% of the plate appearances and junior class is getting 36%. The sophomore class, represented only by Jameson Martin, is...

    Felt like yesterday was one that got away. Gophers were smoking the ball at the start but a couple great fielding plays by KU kept it to 1 run. Second inning picked up where the first left off with a leadoff single and then Martin had a full-count. Unfortunately a sure ball 4 that ran inside...

    Fun to watch the runs pour in. We're cooking right now and it's fun to watch. Let's get the weekend sweep tomorrow. Also big kudos to Ryerse. 5 shutout innings in relief on the season. Kid had a baptism by fire last season as an early enrollee but he's showing why he was MN high school...

    The next great Fleck team

    I agree with OP that I also felt that the way 2018 season ended it was shaping up to be a better than expected 2019. However, I'm not sure I have that exact feeling for the 2026 season. Don't get me wrong, I think the Gophers have a chance to be good but it's more 'hopeful' in regards to...

    Fun game but Gophers came up short 7-8. Middle innings showed that we still have some depth issues in the bullpen. Weber Neels was fantastic tonight, 2 dingers and a double off the baggie. Let's get em Friday.

    Comparison of incoming vs outgoing transfers from this past off-season. Through 2 weekends it looks like the Gophers have come out alright. (Let me know if I missed anyone....quite possible). If someone transferred from Minnesota to a non-D1 school I'm not counting their stats. HITTERS...

    Get out the brooms. Gophers win 15-5 to move to 5-1 on season. Northeastern is bad but we will take it. Morton seemed to struggle with control today. Good test coming up with a 4-game home series against Kansas.
