I assume Chudoba gets the ball to start tonight. The only other first line pitcher who didn't throw at all over the weekend was Afton.

We haven't seen any of Alejandro, Quinn, McBride and Favieri in a long time, and each of them "was disappeared" coming off poor performances. I'm interested in seeing if any of them get a chance to rehab themselves tonight, especially if we have a comfortable lead, or if they are simply not part of the plans going forward unless we run out of arms during a tournament.

From what I recall, Chris Jones has mentioned McBride has some sort of a leg injury. He came out hurt in the last game he pitched.

If we are big enough, I wonder if Chang gets another chance to impress. Of all the guys that haven't been featured, he would be the next one added to the list in the NCAA tournament I would think if the game is a blowout and we need to save the arms.

I think he is going to Wang chung tonight being called Chang.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. UGGH

Yes, I would agree on your assumption that Chudoba is likely to get the start tonight. We'll see what happens.

As mentioned before, I believe McBride has a leg injury. Of the other 3 pitchers mentioned, I'm somewhat surprised that Quinn has not seen the mound in a game since the UMass game which certainly wasn't a good one for him. The UMass game was really the only really bad game Quinn has had this season. Of course, we are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes or in practices.

Also, since that UMass game where Quinn had a bad time, Devin Kirby has really taken off. It would seem the Kirby is now fully healed from Tommy John surgery, and is now an integral part of the UConn bullpen.

Hopefully there will be no power outages tonight.

Top 1st, a scoreless inning for Chudoba after a 2 out walk.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, a 1 out sac fly for Bushling, 1-0 UConn. Ben Huber with a 2 out rbi single which drives in Stock who had previously singled and stolen 2B. 2-0 UConn.

It’s an early Albino Rhino sighting today in Storrs!

Bottom 1st, a 1 out sac fly for Bushling, 1-0 UConn. Ben Huber with a 2 out rbi single which drives in Stock who had previously singled and stolen 2B. 2-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Chudoba with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts. He is at 25 pitches on the game.

Chris Jones was speculating that Chudoba would go 3 innings, followed by Cooke with another 3 innings.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, a leadoff single by Donlan followed by a Padilla double puts 2 runners in scoring position. Both runners advance on a no out Simmons sac fly to make it 3-0 UConn. Bottom of the order continues to be productive, that's for sure.

Smith and Stock both draw walks to load the bases with 1 out. However, a line drive double play ends the UConn threat.

Top 3rd, Chudoba faces the minimum with the help of a double play. Chudoba with 3 strikeouts on the game. 3-0 UConn.

Ian Cooke was warming in the pen that inning, so if Chris Jones is right (and don't see why he wouldn't be right), look for Cooke on the mound next inning.

 

[Tmill15]

If Chudoba is done for the day, a great job by him, really liked how he threw the ball, super effective

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, UConn loads the bases with 1out. Everyone moves up a base on a Padilla sac fly, 4-0 UConn.

Top 4th, Ian Cooke in to pitch for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, a leadoff single and 2 walks load the bases with no outs for Northeastern. A no out rbi single makes the score 4-1. A 1 out rbi single makes the score 4-2, bases still loaded.

 

[Skiblets]

Walks will kill ya

 

[dbmill]

Cooke gives up a 2 out grand slam, 6-4 Northeastern. Brady Afthim warming up in the bullpen.

After an infield error by Padilla, Afthim coming in to pitch.
