Huskers Vs Zags Game 3

Looks like Erstad has some learning to do with bullpen management. Yesterday, waited too long with the hook. Today, was too quick (Lemke and King). That, or the bullpen coach is seeing something in the pen thats not transferring to the game.

This team doesn't yet seem to bunt well either. Late in the game, I was surprised that he called bunt with a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs. Considering how the bunting had been up to that point, would've liked to have let the batter try to put in the outfield.

Overall, the weekend games were fun to be at, but tough way for both games to end.

This the problem with hiring a man who had never been a paid coach ANYWHERE. I EXPECTED us to get swept, but not in this manner. This was poor fundamentals, and poor managing on display big time. He's gonna have to learn how to run a team quickly and it absolutely infuriates me that he's learning on the job for US. There's simply no reason Erstad shouldn't be an ASSISTANT under a QUALIFIED Husker head coach. NONE.

:facepalm:

 
Erstad's got some work to do in terms of just getting his guys to believe in themselves, it seems like. Two 9th inning meltdowns in a row... have to be mentally tougher than that.
