Baseball Official 2025 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread - (33-29) - BACK TO BACK BIG TEN CHAMPIONS

[Kaladin]

So it is us vs. Oregon to make it to the semifinals, correct? Pool play format has me confused. Oregon can lose to Sparty but all they have to do is beat us because tie goes to highest seed?

Correct

 

[Kaladin]

So the Oregon mich state is completely meaningless then, correct? So Oregon will most likely save their best arms for Nebraska

This format is so stupid.

Correct

The good news is they Oregon and MSU don’t play until Thursday, so at least some of their pitching staff will be unavailable on Friday

We’ve got several days to rest our arms

Also, the semifinals are at 3:00 on saturday and the championship is at 3:00 on Sunday

If Oregon wants to win the tourney they will have to play 4 games in 4 days

Not sure how you manage your staff in a situation like that

Win or go home for the year. All 4 of those guys threw over 40 pitches, and I know some don't typically go that long, but would assume everyone is available for Friday?

I really don't think Oregon cares how they do beyond Friday. Of course winning the tournament would be nice for them, but the biggest fish is securing a top seed in the regional and hosting. I would think that if that's not already locked up, they would do that with a win on Friday.

Then I could be way off too.

Broderick went longer than he normally does so I don't know if you use him on Friday unless you need him in the 9th

We've got two experienced starting pitchers that can go on Friday and Saturday in Brockett and Walsh, and then we can roll with Timmerman or Horn on Sunday

Or Maybe you start Brockett on Friday and then bring in Walsh as your reliever, then start Horn or Timmerman on Saturday, and then Start Horn or Timmerman on Sunday

Horn didn't go very long so I would think him on Saturday and Timmerman on Sunday if that situation arose

 

[Frogsker30]

Go back to bracketed tourney. Or if want pool play include all 20 teams and f regular season tie breakers.

 

[Kaladin]

If we beat Oregon on Friday we play either USC, PSU, or Washington on Saturday

Those teams will also be playing with a little lest rest than us, so that kind of bodes in our favor as well

 

[Kaladin]

I wonder if losing to MSU on Thursday will affect Oregon's NCAA tourney seeding at all

 

[turek420845]

You guys remember that one time when we deep dicked Michigan State in the big ten tourney and then a few days later we deep dicked 1 seed Oregon

 

[HuskerDocCo]

If they want to win the tournament they start their backup outfielder at pitcher against Michigan State because that game makes no difference at all. Stupid.

All pen arms will be available Friday.

 

[HuskerBaseball]

This guy aint that good, he’s big and a lefty, that’s about it. Sad state of affairs when this dude is your BIG pitcher of the year.

153 RPI checks out.

This dude will go round 3-4

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

Three meaningless games today with another tomorrow lol

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Three meaningless games today with another tomorrow lol

Yeah absolutely dumb format. Just go to a single elimination tourney

 

[Bulldog10]

Yeah absolutely dumb format. Just go to a single elimination tourney

If you want to do pools just make it so the higher seed gets a buy and the loser of the lower seed game is eliminated. No point sitting around to play a game when your season is over.
