Simeone gets a 1-2-3 inning. Game over, UConn wins 9-3. The bullpen depth is looking pretty good to me.

Ball game - K again.

 

[HawkHusky]

Another great pitching day!

 

[uconnbaseball]

9-3, ballgame! We have looked tough, gotta finish the deal #BurnTheChurch

 

[huskymedic]

Big day... happy for the team. Confidence boost for pitching staff.

 

[kris1]

No let up tomorrow boys!!!

 

[lavuuk153]

Great series so far. They need to step on their throats tomorrow and finish the sweep.

The bullpen has been very good this weekend. Johnson, Wurster and Simeone today were really good. The return of Randy Polonia will make this a strength. CJ is becoming automatic and Wallace is really, really good.

Kersten had 1 rough inning but fought through it and closed well. Today I think we found a 3rd starter in Kenny Haus. Once Mason gets going, we will be tough. Let's get the sweep tomorrow. Go Jimmy Wang!!

 

[dbmill]

The starting pitching is still a work in progress, but I am getting really positive about how all the young pitchers are doing when they come out of the bullpen. It's still early in the season, but this could be the deepest bullpen I've seen since I started following UConn baseball closely.

We showed MSU our Johnson today. We give Sparty our Wang tomorrow.

I think this team is already pretty tough considering the difficulty of the schedule, but I understand what you're saying here.

LMAO!

I expect the main guys out of the pen tomorrow will be Gardner and Wallace.

On an unrelated note, this board seems to get more and more active every year.

My only regret is not finding this board/getting more into UConn baseball until after I graduated

I wouldn't worry about that. I started getting into UConn baseball around 2010, which is way, way, way after I graduated from Storrs.

That's fair. Just would have been nice to have the 10 minute walk to games instead of the 2 hour drive

 

[gtcam]

MSU must be dreading to see that UConn uniform tomorrow
A four game sweep would be unreal

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yea, I was thinking 3-4 innings for Wang, 3-4 for Gardner, and 2 for a well-rested Wallace with CJ recording an out or two in an emergency.

I suspect that there could be someone else after Wang, but eventually Gardner and Wallace will be in there for about 2 innings apiece.

Just imagine when they have an actual facility. Jim Penders is a wizard.

I have sadly never been to a game, I also have a 1.5-2 hour or so drive. That should change this year, I am likely bringing the kids to one or two games in hartford, weather dependent.

 

[huskymedic]

Ahhh... the sweet melody of a Whelen siren.

 

[Guapo]

Just imagine when they have an actual facility. Jim Penders is a wizard.

What Penders is doing right now, when taking into account location, facilities and history is arguably the most impressive coaching feat going in the sport at the moment
