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

One thing we have not done this series is take walks. This kid walks a batter an inning...now is the time to start.

And just like that, Woody walks! Bases loaded, 2 outs.
 
Makes zero sense. Put pressure on the pitcher. Crazy wasted opportunities for runs. This is why we suffer from chronic angina.

Jeeeeez our baserunning is awful every year. Should be bases loaded, 1 out.

Pitching change.

It is Penders coaching philosophy and it drives me nuts. To many outs on the bases. It's the same approach at the plate which sucks as well. New pitcher comes in and throws 6 straight balls. Bases are loaded and what do we do? Let him off him off the hook by swinging and flying out. Sorr, makes no sense. Have to take until first strike.

And that needlessly aggressive mentality against a laboring pitcher kills us again.
 
Please teach some freaking patience at the plate. This is on Penders if this gets away. Ridiculous. No clue how to take advantage of a struggling pitcher.

Except for the off game now and then, the offense has been doing very well. Yet to hear some people talk they aren't happy unless UConn is scoring 10+ runs a game. Well, that sort of thing just doesn't happen, no matter how many pitches you take.
 
Out of town scoreboard:
UC 4-0 over Kansas in the 5th, attempting to complete the sweep.
UH-ECU tied at 2-2 in the 6th.
UCF 3-1 over WSU in the 4th.
USF 3-1 over Memphis in the 8th.

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.
