There’s finally baseball to discuss on episode No. 2 of the Husker247 Nebraska Baseball Podcast, after the Huskers played their first four games of the season in Arizona. What are a couple big takeaways from the weekend, especially on the mound and at the plate? How should Nebraska be feeling coming out of the opening weekend? 

In the second segment (12-minute mark, roughly) former Husker and current Baltimore Orioles pitcher Cade Povich joins to discuss his rookie season, lessons learned and what’s ahead for him in 2025. Povich also puts into perspective where his 2021 Immaculate Inning falls among his career achievements to this point. 

Lastly, we remember Nebraska broadcast Greg Sharpe, who lost his battle with cancer last week.

The Husker247 Podcast joined up on Wednesday morning to get into conversations about Nebraska’s offensive line, the future of the spring game and NFL draft talk.

Things started with discussing how Rocco Spindler fits into things with the Huskers, what the line makeup might be if he commits to the Huskers, where things are at for Donovan Raiola going into his fourth season and more. 

Then it shifted to how things will look in future years for the spring game. Can Nebraska continue its traditional Red-White game? Will this team need to find a new hook to get fans in if a game can’t be played? Does Mike Schaefer have any good ideas or only ones that aren’t terrible?

Finally Michael Bruntz wants to talk hand sizes and how the former Huskers preparing for the NFL draft are faring at events this week.

Then they look ahead to Illinois and Oregon this week — two big opportunities but two very tough teams for a Nebraska group that is low on confidence.

Finally it’s guess a random Husker hooper and we’re going back the late 80s and early 90s.
