UConn and the 2018 AAC Baseball Tournament (Updated ~ Check Schedule Change for UConn games)

Bring it Trevor - Make a name for yourself in #HookC history!

Helluva first start. No pressure... LOL.

Let's go Trevor!

Penders is probably trying to only get 1-2 inning from Trevor. This shortens the workload of the horses and gives the offense most of the game to make a deficit if it comes to that. It’s a smart move

Is Cate available out of the pen?

I don't see him listed.

Trevor Holmes starting is a logical choice, we'll just see how he does. I don't think he has pitched in this tournament so far, so he has a fresh arm. A senior/graduate student, while he has never spent much time at the top of the bullpen, but he has seen time in pressure situations, and he has had a few successes. If he is on, he can certainly give UConn 2 or 3 innings. If he isn't on, it will be on to the next pitcher quickly.

No Cate, but past Huskies such as Kay, Marzi, Nappo, and other former players are listed. Mike Nemeth as well! I find that inspirational in an amusing way, or vice versa.

Darn was hoping Packard wouldn't be playing after he picked up a knock yesterday. Whatever, though. Will be more satisfying to beat them full strength!

Coach Penders might throw a freshmen pitcher such as Dunlop into a start while they are still in the winners bracket, but for the championship game, he goes with an experienced senior.

Wallace, Cate, Feole, Kersten, Gardner are not available to pitch today, according to Chris Jones. I might have missed someone as well.

The AAC version of Game Tracker doesn't seem to be working this morning. It figures.

Edit, I found it. and it works.

UConn scoreless in the the top of the 1st.

That’s...not good.

That’s...not good.

It's ok with me. I like having healthy pitchers for the NCAA tourney. With the way this tournament has been run, looks like Penders is not risking any arms today.

Is the game televised or online only? I’m at a bachelor party in the middle of the woods with no WiFi but direct tv coverage.

The AAC should have anticipated my situation!

 

[UConNick]

Awesome double play to get Williams Sutton!!! I like seeing no one on for Brickhouse.

SOL...

Holmes gets through the 1st.

 

[HawkHusky]

Good start.

This lineup card is hilarious, with all the former Huskies on it. Too bad George Springer isn't available.
