This was Iowa's offense today, correct?

1 hit
1 unearned runs
0 earned runs
1 total runs scored

If so, you can't blame this game on the Iowa pitching staff.

It's really hard to win 1-0 ball games.

I don’t think anyone would blame the pitching. Iowa’s offense has been crazy streaky this year (30+ runs against Ok St followed by like 10 runs against NW). Hurt em today. Michigan’s defense top notch too.
 
Not sure why you bring in Nelson, a slow thrower to pitch to the meat of the lineup to a guy that has mashed several balls during the day. However, the play at first factored in because that's the 3rd out. Is there another replay anywhere of that play or are my Hawk blinders on thinking he was definitely out?

He looked out to me, but I was watching on my phone, so could have been hard to tell.

Yeah, Iowa's offense has been definitely streaky.

I just feel bad for the Iowa pitchers; they held Michigan to 1 run in 9 innings and it is easy to get pissed as a fan for giving up 2 walks in the 10th, which helped Michigan score the walk off run.

Walks are killers. They ended up killing Iowa in the 10th. But it was the Iowa offense that let Iowa down today.

Sucks. Hope we start clicking on offense tomorrow. If not, our season is probably over?
 
Man....I can't believe Iowa has managed one hit all day. A weak hit at that.

When Nuestrom hit the pitcher the second time and it caromed right to the 3B then Hoeg followed up with the 2B making a diving stop, both for outs, I knew it wasn't our day. Should've had runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs instead of another 1-2-3 inning.

Need to hit the ball if they're going to make a run now.
 
Allgeyer's day:
7 IP,
4 H,
1 ER,
9 K,
3 BB

His 9th strikeout tied a career-high and he moves into second place on Iowa's single-season strikeouts list with 95 Ks.

An example of the stellar pitching? Watch this:





Some of his strike outs today, using 4 pitches:

I think he was out

It is interesting that they are using instant replay for certain types of situations/judgement calls but why not allow a challenge, like they do in MLB?

Either use instant replay or don't, imo.
 
If we win tomorrow morning, do we play again or not until Friday?

Man, it looks very hot and humid, all the way until Sunday! Hopefully there is some shade to be found in the stadium! Once dew points hit the 60's, the air is getting humid. If dew points were in the 70's it would be Florida like tropical conditions.

High/Low & Dew pts for Omaha, NE

91/69 Wed w/ 62-64 degree dew pts
90/69 Thur w/ 64 degree dew pt
92/66 Fri w/ 64 degree dew pt
96/67 Sat...will we still be playing?
94/68 Sun...will we still be playing?

The Hawkeyes mustered one hit and didn't have a baserunner after the fourth. Now, they're in a deep hole after Wednesday's loss.

Iowa had not committed an error on defense since May 13; they had ONE ERROR today.

Iowa's Chris Whelan: “At this point, it’s survival mode. Win or go home. It’s one frame of mind right now. There’s no (more) second chances in the situation we’re in. We’ve dug ourselves a pretty big hole.”

Iowa coach Rick Heller after his team got 1 hit in 10 innings: “A weird game. For us, it felt like Michigan had 15 fielders out there. We hit three balls off the pitcher and didn’t get a hit; they’re making diving plays left and right.”

We will play Friday at 3pm or so if we win providing the schedule stays on track.

Purdue/Ohio State is a very sloppy game right now. Definitely not all gold gloves like Michigan was this morning.

Nelson pitched well against Michigan early in the season. The bigger issue was Daniels giving up free bases.

Allgeyer's stat line is impressive but he was hardly sharp. Shows you his ability to gut it out and get things done.
