Regardless.. the pitching was really good, and more than good enough to win the game. 

That loss is 100% on the offense. 

When a team has four quality starters that is something you have to consider and not waste your best arm in a driver's seat situation.

Pitching executed more than well enough to win the game. 

That's all that's relevant in my eyes. 

We should be eating lunch getting ready for tomorrow, but the offense didn't do their job. Very similar to the Michigan game last week, and two games in Lincoln.

For the baseball bracketologists in the group, has the squad done enough to this point in the season season and in Omaha over the past three days to earn the at-large bid?  Or do we still see the squad on the bubble w/o the auto-bid?

I think it's really close.  If I had to make a call as things stand now after this morning's loss, I'd say we're not in.  We've got some good wins, but also a few bad losses.  But it's really, really close.

Thats baseball. Sometimes offense doesn't have it and you have to plan for that. Especially against a starter who is really really good on his best days and really really bad on his worst. Unfortunately, for the Hoosiers they go the very good version. I put that as much on Nebraska's very deep pitching and what he did, as much as the offense struggling and it won't get any easier tonight.

Stranding four runners in the first two innings isn’t the start we would have liked.

Neither is that bomb.

Any particular reason we keep giving Josh Caron meaty pitches?

That's three friggin' bombs today. 

No excuse for that.

Has Indiana done enough to get in. Would almost have to think of Penny state wins it Indiana gets left out, if they can't figure out how to win this

It's a shame there's no drug testing at this level. I'm curious what Josh Caron is using.

This just isn't true. They don't have 4 quality starters. They have 2.

Embarrassing

Game over. 

Season over.

This is exactly why there was no reason to save Bothwell and Buhr. 

[Certified Sunshine Pumper 9,167]

Our offense continues to bite us. 3 runs in 14 innings today.

Yeah the dude is just wasting talent. Hasn't put a decent bullpen together in years.

Crazy.  But ok. 

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,370]

Seasons over, sadly. Win 1 of 2 and probably get it.  Tough to be so close yet so far.
