Day #3 - B1G Baseball Tournament - Thread

Yikes. After that huge win on Wed vs #1 Indiana, we had 2 games today & in those 2 games we have scored a grand total of 1 run.
And I was worried we would run out of pitching today. I did not see this hitting slump coming...at all.

BTN needs to cut the crap...we have no fate with the committee
Same thing happened offensively in Omaha last year
thats why the tournament needs to be moved to Indy
Every other team can manage extra base hits. I literally think we’ve had one the last two years here.
WOW....thought for sure he was safe....jesus plays like that can be the difference in a game
it was interesting on the TV broadcast when the announcers were making a case for Iowa for the NCAA Tournament.
I think it's pretty clear by this tweet that Iowa knows its season is over.

Umps just wanted to be done.
But it does go back to what I said. Iowa doesn't need garbage officiating to help us lose games. Them going out of their way to help us lose only makes them look worse and takes the steam off our poor efforts.
They showed the front side once and then showed the back side 3 more times.
When you compared both, the back side makes it look like a tie, and from the front you can't see when his foot touches, but adding both together, it is not guessing that his foot beat the catch.
He was safe.
Is Iowa prepared by playing in Banks for the larger dimensions of TD Ameritrade?
Iowa didn't hit a lot of home runs this year did they?
Also, where did they stand in conference for doubles?
Conference games only:
Batting average - Iowa 4th
Slugging - 8th
OBP - 5th
Runs - 6th
Doubles - 5th
Homers - 8th
Iowa was solidly middle of the pack offensive team in the league this year. Pitching was even worse. Iowa had a team ERA of 5.00 in conference games, good for 12th out of 13.
Team just wasn't good enough this year is what it comes down to. Overall was amazing they were in a good position before the late-season swoon. Key injuries (Padgett, Dreyer, Probst), losing 2 assistants one week before the season and losing the number of guys they did to the MLB draft last year caught up to them. Program is still in really good shape. They shouldn't lose much other than the seniors (although those losses are always hard). If they can find some more arms and 1-2 impact bats in the incoming class, they can be really good next year. Sher played well for a freshman, Fullard and Martin had really good years with their first time in Big 10 play.
As far as hitters go, the JUCO route would be a good place to look to fill those gaps, at least in the short term.
Juco is hit or miss. Sometimes you get a Jake Adams Or Tyler Peyton who were awesome. Then a Joel Booker who was always great defensively, but took a year to adjust offensively. Wetrich is a guy that was above average it never put up numbers offensively like he did in juco.
