Had to use my calculator, it was 240 pitches for the gameI wonder how many total pitches the Gophers have thrown today. Seems like three game’s worth
OmniscientMy only thought is that this Minnesota staff has nothing left and we can experiment with some base running hijinx because we are expecting another dozen runs. Let's hope that pans out.
Some of those northern teams don’t hit their stride for another month or so. These will be good wins when all is said and done.got in the car to hear the end...glad Beethe got to throw a solid inning. Feel like he has the stuff but was over throwing in his last two outings to show everyone he was a closer.
My groups take is if Minnesota is really picked to finish 2nd in the B10 - they are either going to have to figure out something much different on the mound or Michigan is going to win the conference running away.
Even their win on Saturday was not impressive and largely due to some bad baseball on our end as much as what they did on the field. Not sure I am confident this series win will be as impressive at the end of the year as it was forecast to be before the weekend started.
Or maybe we are just going to be something special this year...there is always hope.
See everyone Wednesday (not tomorrow).
I hope so - it would be great if Schloss' philosophy change to really push playing P5 programs in OOC weekend series pays off by combining with what seems to be something pretty solid by TCU on the field - and gets us where we want to be in the post season.Some of those northern teams don’t hit their stride for another month or so.

I truly think Schloss was being honest when he said he felt like we had the talent to win 40 but with all the new faces he could see us struggling to gel and winning 20.I was pretty critical in the weeks before the season of Schloss and the No News bit he was playing....until I realized it was all because he didn't want to reveal what he already knew....that this team has a chance to be special and staying off the radar is the best way to attack the early season.
We've got a ton of fired up, pissed off dudes (Starting with Schloss and 'Loos) and they are playing like it.
So keep the No News coming...I don't give a rat's ass when Cal and whoever else comes back...keep that info in house with this bunker mentality. Let's just keep winning games.
Big plans for Mardi Gras Day??See everyone Wednesday (not tomorrow).
I just meant we don't play our mid-week game Tuesday this week, which is more the norm - it is Wednesday because the team is just getting back late tonight.Big plans for Mardi Gras Day??
I’ve also heard of rotating styles of pitchers. If you want to go Righty, Lefty, Righty. Or for example if you have a more precision, mix it up, arm angle (Preston Morrison) throw him in the middle to keep the other team off balance.What's the logical weekend order of a rotation? Do you always put your second best guy on Saturday? Or are there any valid arguments for leaving him for Sunday?
It's working. I'd say "don't mess with a streak" but we kinda need another win for that to make sense right now.Did I miss some superstitious post about keeping all game threads in this thread? Why don’t we have separate game threads and keep this thread for “season related baseball news”? Because let’s face it, right now we’re a baseball school.

I like Pharm’s idea of using your inning eater or ace in the middle game.
Side note, maniac, You need to get off this site and back to booking your flight to Omaha!
