[Skylar Dodds]

Hello Husker Fans,

In fact I did.  As he used to like to say, "The most powerful seat in
the NAIA" at Hastings College.  Unfortunately, after my short career,
I decided that a major in alcoholic beverages was more useful than a
degree in computer science so I went back to UNO to finish school :)

>> Hello Husker Fans,

>> The reason I say his control wasn't great was not because of the
>> number of walks.  It has more to do with pitching behind the count for
>> a good part of the night.  Walks or not, a 2-0 or 3-1 pitch is a TON
>> easier to hit than a 0-2 or 1-2...

>> Most college/pro coaches will harp and harp and harp on the first

>> settle for a second pitch strike).
>>
>> He was ahead of 13 batters and behind 12 and even with the rest (most
>> of times he was ahead came in the three inning stretch where he really
>> dominated).  Maybe a better way to say it would be, "He got behind a
>> lot early".
>>
>> Most coaches I've had want you to be ahead of about 70-80% of the
>> batters. He threw 125 pitches, 83 were strikes (66.4%). Again, a
>> little lower than most coaches would like.
>>
>> I'm not trying to take away anything from Joba, like I said, it was
>> his first really good performance in a while.
