Iowa needs to stop trying to swing for the fences and just tag hits. Eventually, Michigan's staff will wear down. Hell, the UM pitcher was bailed out by Iowa batters numerous times in the 5th..........

Nobody likes to see try hard defensive plays against Iowa, so stop doing it Michigan.
3-0 Hawkeyes.
Still batting in bottom of the 7th.
2 on. 1 out.

Keep putting the ball in play. Another run or two and that's all she wrote.
middle of the order for Michigan Burton get hit on the 1st pitch.
this make no sense as Heller change of the pitcher. hits his 1st batter then the next batter with a .150 avg walks. Heller has done that all to often.

Nice, though, to see the Hawks end Michigan's season after they ended ours last year.
Heller is a really good coach with good eye for talent in players and coaches.Yes, Heller really sucks. Has done a terrible job all year.

UNI and Ames CC dropping baseball has given him a pretty good deal.
I was in attendance. Great game, great atmosphere. Feeling like less of a jinx now.
Won't be able to make it to tomorrow's game, unfortunately

Awesome starting pitching today. Did not burn arms today. Get er done tomorrow.
Would like to see Debbie with the first the Lise the second in 12 innings. Too much to ask?

Ahhhh….yeah. Heller is one hell of a Skipper. He knows a shit ton about baseball. You might want to just roll with him dude. He literally saved Iowa Baseball.
I'm not @AuroraHawk but I would guess ride Morgan for couple and Brecht for a couple then turn it to the BP?
Just got home from Omaha. Spectacular game. Langenberg and Llewellyn certainly did Urbandale proud today.
I’d think Marcus Morgan starts and goes 30-40 pitches.
I think Heller would then go to Aaron Savary. He throws strikes and has a nice downward plane. Been a really nice performer in last half of season.
Way to go Hawkeyes!! Let's hope the UNL pulls it out in an epic scoring fest in the 19th i
I had the same question.
I think they try to balance home/away out as best they can, and where there's a tie, the better seeded team is the home team.
Nebraska was the home team in only one of its 3 games, while Maryland was the home team in both of its 2 games.
Contrast that with the Iowa game, where Michigan was the home team in 2 of 3 games, where Iowa was the home team in 1 of its 2 games, so Iowa was the home team.
This happened in both games yesterday; MSU was home over NU since MSU was the road team in its first 2 contests, and Michigan was home over IU since IU was the home team in its first 2 games.

Cut karnack some slack, he knows all, sees all, and will RSSO 6'5" 3* you to death if you don't.Yes, Heller really sucks. Has done a terrible job all year.

Also, Heller brought in a kid that had a .103 BA against (or some such) so it was OBVIOUSLY the wrong move.
Tying run comes to the plate in the bottom of the 9th. 3 on, no outs. I think we really want UNL to tie it up and eventually win, don't we? Don't we want UM and/or UNL to have to play an extra game?
that's my opinion on how he changed pitchers in that situation. why mess with a good thing with how Christopherson pitching as well as he did.Yes, Heller really sucks. Has done a terrible job all year.

the time to do what he did is during the midweek game, not in the 2nd biggest game of the season.
but I suppose you loved the decision. when Iowa is/was on the verge of making the 5th BT Championship game in Iowa's history.
Herbie gonna choke away bases loaded, no outs. They got 2, but wasted outs to get them.

At least they managed to put up a small fight at the end.
How about them Hawkeyes?????
I do wish Nebraska would have won the first game against Maryland, burn up the bullpen.

IF Morgan goes tomorrow it won’t be for long. Brecht will not go.
Next weekend is much more important than tomorrow.

I heard the number 30 pitches for Morgan tomorrow. For him that might be 1 inning.
