You said in another thread that you are going to be looking at the left on base and the hitting in the clutch for this baseball season. I completely agree. Last year Nebraska left 413 on base for an average of 7.6 per game. So far in the first 3 games Nebraska has left 30 men on base. The team batting average with men on base in the first 3 games is .166. The team batting average with men in scoring position in the first 3 games is .175.

Now I am not trying to say that it is all down hill from here after 3 games but this certainly is not a good start.

To be fair, the batting average for both of those stats were MUCH better in the 3rd game and is the reason those numbers are, relatively speaking,so high.

it is harder for the nebraskas out there to be ready that first couple weeks compared to a fresno state

nebraska gets to play in a 10 by 70 cage

fresno gets to play on a field

i think it just is going to take a while for the huskers, to be honest i dont follow husker baseball really close but everything i've heard and read is that the bats this year are supposed to be solid, so lets hope its just a case of not being able to get out and play real ball until on the field for the first game....

i guess this theory will play it self out in the next couple weeks

I go to a lot of husker bb games and yes we are at a very big disadvantage, They played great at fresno and I think this year they will be very competive in the big 12!!!!

i agree jed. clutch hitting needs to be tightened up since there isn't a chamberlain/dorn one two punch in the pitching staff.

the worst thing about yesterday was when i was at the gym kfab had the rush limbaugh show on. rush freakin limbaugh. weak kfab! weak!!!!

I agree Nebraska is at a big disadvantage because there is nothing like be able to go outside, but they are not stuck in a 10 X 70 foot cage. They use the indoor practice facility alot and that helps to at least get into a big space.
