Was someone actually telling you that you could not stand against the fence?Normally I stand along the fencing, but due to corona rules no standing when I was at the game Friday. So I sat in the second from the top row. Every time anything would happen near third base, you have to stand up because the dugout blocks the base. I don’t know who decided the placement of the dugouts and stands, but NOBODY realized while they were being built you couldn’t see the bases !!! And after all these years they still haven’t been moved.
This is the definition of insanity.Normally I stand along the fencing, but due to corona rules no standing when I was at the game Friday.
Owens said they had a runner on third with less than two out & a chance to win the game three times & couldn't get it done. Hello Coach, did you ever hear of a squeeze? Owens is all about getting a hit. Doesn't know how to manufacture a run. When is the last time you saw us steal third? Doesn't know how to put the pressure on the other team on the base paths. Could have won several games if he knew how to play that kind of ball. Oh well.
Does he have All his guys practice bunting? You've got to teach it & practice it to be able to execute it. All my guys could bunt & I taught base running with plenty of drills. Huge & exciting part of the game if you know how to use it. Glad to hear that someone stole third.I was at the game today. It was one of the most exciting games I have ever seen and I am a senior citizen. We did steal third base today which was exciting. Our kids came back from 6-0 in the first inning and tied the game at 6-6 in the 7th on a three run home run from Lasko. We had opportunities but so din Nebraska to win the game. We held them scoreless for 11 consecutive innings until the 13th when they won on a single, a stolen base and a single up the middle. Both teams made some outstanding plays. Our relief pitchers were impressive today. I was hoping for a squeeze at one point as well but our main part of our lineup was up and I doubt those guys might have ever bunted. I was very proud of our guys today. I hope they can win more than they lose this coming weekend against Minnesota and Penn State.
Amen.I wonder what percentage of guys in the Major Leagues are even decent at bunting these days. Maybe 10 percent? Last week a guy on the Phillies busted up his hand trying to bunt. Nobody steals bases, bunts, can execute hit and runs. I can not stand to even hear the phrase “launch angle.” A home run is nice, but not if you strike out 29 times in a row to get one.
The current lineup (and Sweeney) are all Litterio recruits other than Sleight. Owens did bring in the 2 grad transfer pitchers that are weekend starters.Folks, remember he is still playing catch up after Litterio did little to connect with New Jersey high school coaches and just didn’t seem to understand he was in the Big Ten, not still at Wagner. From what I have been told, didn’t get the big picture of running a baseball program at a major university. —Seems like it was a contest between Ash, Jordan, and Litterio to see who could give the least effort recruiting.
Sweeny, Rodriguez, and Lasko (his junior year) committed to Litterio. Owens brought in transfers and graduate transfers.Litterio doesn’t get credit for the freshmen and redshirt freshmen and transfers and graduate transfers, right?

Owens has hardly played this year. I was talking about the 9-10 guys who have been the primary lineup.I'm guessing Sam Owens wasn't a Litterio recruit
