Official 2024 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread (40-22)

[PonyBoy]

Wtf happened left early to get boys home at a decent time.

Bright side another 2 foul balls for the boys.

View attachment 37155

Childress got pretty with musical chairs in the bullpen.

Carey cost us on a simple grounder. Few batters later, it's a 6-5 game instead of 6-4. Sphincters tightened harder than a Frost-Davison bender.

Bolt & Harvell produced 6 runs on 12 hits, 8 walks, 2 hbp. How'd we only score 6? 14 left on base with 11 strikeouts. Against SDSU 😂

Rarely does a single loss in baseball eat my crawl. But tonight's game, it does.

Yes, it's a devastating loss from a hosting standpoint but our 6 remaining conference games are what matters most. Less than a 5% chance to host, maybe closer to 2%, but run the B1G tournament - as in, reach the finals - and we're right back in it. Haha! #PipeDream

SDSU is our only Q4 loss now that Cockeye is a Q3.

Why did I do the below? Simple; to show 1, and even 2, Q4 losses aren't even close to the end of the world. 12 of the 21 top 30 RPI teams have at least 1 Q4 loss. Our metrics remain strong. Especially our non-conference SOS at #11. And it won't move much, maybe 1 or 2 slots either way, the rest of the year.

Here are the current projected teams behind us in RPI
(2) Nebraska (30 RPI, 1 Q4 loss).
(3) UCF (32 RPI, 2 Q4 losses)
(2) West Virginia (37 RPI, 1 Q4 loss)
(3) Kansas State (38 RPI, 1 Q4 loss)
(3) Southern Miss (41 RPI, 3 Q4 losses)
(3) Louisiana Tech (42 RPI, 1 Q4 loss)
(3) Virginia Tech (43 RPI, 1 Q4 loss)
(2) Oregon (46 RPI, 2 Q4 losses)
(2) Louisiana (48 RPI, 5 Q4 losses)
(3) Georgia Tech (50 RPI, 1 Q4 loss)
(2) Texas (51 RPI, 8 Q4 losses)
(3) St Johns (53 RPI, 3 Q4 losses & 1 tie)
(3) Illinois (56 RPI, 2 Q4 losses)
(3) Utah (70 RPI, 5 Q4 losses)

**UCONN, Illinois & Zona are not included, although their RPI's are lower, as I believe they're projected to win their conference auto bid. 1 bid leagues not included in the above either as it's irrelevant. Not sure about Louisiana so I have them listed as I believe Dallas Baptist is projected to win their auto-bid. Plus, DBU has a better overall RPI than us.
