Thanks for all the coverage. Good to have Iowa baseball given some good attention. Looking forward to the season.

Mazur looked the part of a Friday starter today.

Impressed by Michael Seegers getting four hits and the top 3 in the order were 8/13. 16 strikeouts is a lot, but 15 hits, 8 walks and 12 runs definitely helps.

Ball State tomorrow and they were off today, so it’s their opener tomorrow.

I mean he missed a season due to Covid canceling it and then missed a season due to injury. Then has been injured throughout this basketball season.

Are you suggesting the only reason he gets playing time on basketball court is because his Dad is the coach?

 

[Franisdaman]

Wow.

[Row55]

Hawks able to get the home opener in today vs Loras. A couple of weeks ago I thought it unlikely. However, Hawks currently down 3-0 in the 5th. Game is on BTN+. Wearing practice uniforms today, plain black HAWKS jerseys with plain white pants.

 

[funnyfletcher]

Heading to the 9th still down 3-0. Yikes

 

[funnyfletcher]

3-1 1 out, Williams on first

 

[funnyfletcher]

Ugly loss for the Hawks

Ugly loss for the Hawks

Terrible, offense dominated by a D3 guy who had an 8.31 ERA last year.

Yeah, that was not fun. Offense needs some work for sure.

It shouldn't be this bad.

 

[Hawkeyes4Life32]

Bats need to wake up. Fast

Lol, Iowa baseball back to being an absolute cellar dweller, just like I remember. BAU @IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life

Guess the Heller era is winding down?...............

This gave me a good laugh

Do we already have arm issues with pitchers? Starting Nedved Saturday and TBD Sunday.

Sounds like shoulder soreness for Schultz. Marcus had a rough outing vs Wazzu, so it could a potential start for Langenberg.

Nedved was talked about as a potential starter by Heller when I talked with him before the season, so it’s not a huge deal.

 

[Hawkeyes4Life32]

Leaving runners on base and gifting runs to the opposing team. Not a recipe for success

Nope, outhitting Irvine 13-5 but losing 7-6. Way too many free passes.

It was bad, I paid the $6.99 to watch that crap. The pitchers didn’t make the Irvine hitters earn it. Mazur has incredible stuff but he needs to work on his sequencing the 2nd and 3rd time through the order. He fell apart in the 5th inning.

It's unfortunate because Iowa is good enough to beat every team they've lost to. They need find a way to scrape a couple wins out against Irvine and Texas Tech.

A lot of silly mental lapses that are uncharacteristic of Heller teams, hopefully we can turn things around

 

[jhawks55]

I still think they are going to figure this out and be pretty dangerous by the time conference play rolls around. This team is made up of 50% new guys this year, Fullard has been hurt, and non conference was set up to be tougher. I think with all the new faces it’s just going to take a little longer to sort everything out.

Williams and Anthony are both tearing it up on offense. Williams is 4 for 4 tonight. Both hitting well and they both walk a lot.
