[Husker] Baseball

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

1 - 'cleaning house' - baseball players can normally transfer without a 
year penalty, therefore it's not that hard although that rule will end in 
the coming year. 

2 - I don't think that pitching has slipped since Childress left. We 
finished second in the Big 12 in ERA only behind Texas, and being the only 
two teams under 4.50

3 - I disagree that pitching has been *the* problem. The bullpen has been 
a problem at times, but this year's team is suffering in offense - not 
getting the hits they need at the right times they need them. 

4 - given the schedule we played this year, the idea that this team both 
had a horrible season and didn't belong in a regional is absolute BS. This 
team played a darned tough schedule, and didn't go the route that a lot of 
other teams in big conferences did in feasting on smaller, weaker 
opponents to build a big, fluffy 40-win season record. 

so far, Minnesota has eliminated national seed San Diego, there have been 
a fair number of upsets of #1 seeds - we'll know which good ones get 
eliminated early in the next few hours.
