Official 2025 Nebraska Cardiac Beaver Slayers Baseball Thread (7-11) - We suck again

I'm on the panic wagon. Big time. 7-11 overall and 1-5 in the B1G is a big obstacle to overcome...

The USC series is a must win, or this season is all but over (sans winning B1G conference title = automatic berth).

8 B1G conference series left = 24 games.
8 weekday weeks left = 10 games.
1 non-conference series left = 3 games.

34-19 was our regular season in 2024 & we were a lock for the NCAA tournament heading in to the B1G tournament. Whatever happened in the B1Gt was irrelevant from an advancing standpoint - we were playing for a better seed...

What's needed?
15-9 record, minimum (7-1 conference series record)
8-2 weekday record, minimum (need 1 of the 8 to be Kansas State)
2-1 non conference record (tough task with top 10 Oregon State the opponent).

That takes us to 32. IMO, that'll put us really close to the bubble as a 3 seed. Of the 7 conference series wins we will need 2 sweeps (2 additional wins) that takes us to 34 regular season wins just like last year. There will be enough hoopla surrounding us, which includes an early season win over Vanderbilt and a series win against Oregon State (3-1 v top 20 teams).

This is a disastrous start to what was expected to be a promising season.

One at bat, one out, one inning at a time.
 
Thru 18 games (7-11/1-5).

We are dead last hitting in the B1G, 14th (out of 17) for AVG and SLG in B1G games only, 15 (out of 17) for OPS in B1G games only & 16 (out of 17) for OB%.

Straight. Up. Brutal.
