#20/24 UConn v. Tulane (Fri. 4/27@7p@Dunkin Donut Park,Sat.@2p@DDP & Sun.@11a @J.O.C.) TV Info Below

[dbmill]

Kersten has a 1-2-3 6th inning. He's on his game today.

 

[dbmill]

When Kersten is on his game, the game goes quick as he is quite efficient. He makes curfew worries go away.

 

[SAMCRO]

Prado! RBI single makes it 5-1. Runners on the corners no outs. Time to make hay. Come on Zusi.

 

[dbmill]

6th inning, RBI single for Prato drives in Moriarty to make it 5-1.

I love Penders and UCONN Baseball. I think the guys are sometimes too eager and force unnecessary situations. If a pitcher is struggling to to throw strikes, be patient and let him show he can beat you. What the team has accomplished this year is amazing. I'd just like to see us clean up a couple things before Regional play.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Us diehards who follow the team every year realize we aren't going to find another coach and we also realize he's been a great recruiter. Doesn't mean I can't be a realist and others on here are always the optimists. His coaching philosophies just leave something to be desired for me. I personally just don't agree with the over aggressive approach. I am always told on here that they are just kids and are going to make mistakes, I agree, which is why do you make it easier for the opponent. Make them throw strikes and beat you, not yourself.

It's a credit to Penders that there are this many UConn baseball fans around (like you and I) to question him

As good as this team is -- even with the injuries -- I feel there is another gear this team can hit. To do so, we will need to start taking what the opponent is giving to us. We are good enough to earn runs, now we need to accept gifts as well.

Laughing at that Family Guy clip in response to the pick-off attempts.

 

[SAMCRO]

Sac fly.. 6-1

 

[dbmill]

Susi sac fly drives in another run. 6-1.

 

[SAMCRO]

1 out, runner on 2nd, Come on Feldstein. And Penders... let’s not try to steal 3rd base here.

 

[HawkHusky]

This inning is a beauty.

The Family Guy clip is my absolute favorite thing. I laugh every time.

 

[dbmill]

As much as I don't care for some of Penders strategy, I just love him as UConn's baseball coach. He has done a terrific job over his time at UConn, period.

 

[SAMCRO]

Good inning. 2 insurance runs. 6-1 to the 7th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I would go Wallace here. Let's slam the door...no midweek games this week.

You called it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huge groundout there. 1 out, 2 on.

 

[navery12]

WHY SWING WHEN THEY HAVE THROWN 6 STRAIGHT BALLS!!?! WHY??????

I still liking taking in situations like that, but the philosophy has changed as a whole the last few years. Pitchers will try and get one over for a strike and a lot of times that's the best pitch you'll see

 

[Baseballguy]

UConn’s over aggressive approach has put a lot of pressure on opponents this year. It’s forced a very below average fielding percentage this year. Opponent’s fielding percentage is .959. That would be 259 out of 297 in the NCAA. Some plays are frustrating and stupid but I can’t argue with the results it has brought.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 outs, 6-2 now. Kirsten should have gotten out of this inning unscathed. Terrific performance today.

CJ coming in.

 

[dbmill]

Two out, 1 run in, and Kersten is coming out of the game. He did terrific. Poulin coming in.

 

[HawkHusky]

Under-eager base-running for Tulane. LOL.

 

[HawkHusky]

Kersten was fantastic. Give the man the game ball!

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gets the out to end the 7th inning.

 

[SAMCRO]

UH 3-2 over ECU T7
USF 3-2 over Memphis T9
UCF 3-2 over WSU T5
UC 5-3 over KU T6

 

[SAMCRO]

Bases loaded, Topa coming to the plate with 1 away.
Pitching change for the Wave
