2018 wins needed for NCAA bid

D1Baseball.com: Sizing Up The RPI Resumes (Premium):

>>Who’s sitting pretty: Connecticut sits at #21 thanks for a 13-9 road record and only five home games. It visits Top 10 RPI Wichita State this weekend as they open another nine-game road swing. They only have seven home games remaining. If they win their share of American games, their RPI should hold steady due to the road bonus. One also has to wonder if they could and should gain favor for completing a schedule with just a dozen home games.<<

Northeastern is also listed (UConn is scheduled to play @ Northeastern on 5/9)

*(whispers)* college baseball is designed to disadvantage northern teams

Not quite accurate. UConn has 11 home games still to play, 7 in Storrs and 4 in Hartford. Also, with the mention of the 5 already home games played, they are not counting the tie against Bryant as a home game.

Hello everyone, Back from Italy. Had a great time , but too short. Was not able to follow much game action, but did follow game results.

(1) Thanks to those that did post. Would go back and read posts after I found out results.

(2) Was hoping for a minimum 4 - 3 week, so we did do a bit better at 4 - 2 -1.

(3) Pretty much meeting all our post season goals below ( off on overall record by .002)

(4) Concerned with our injuries to pitchers, some of our lesser used guys are going to need to step up.

(5) Looks like UMASS game tomorrow is postponed. Not sure if we are making it up.

(6) Our next 13 games are vs teams that do not have a winning record. We need to go on a little run here. Just hoping we have enough pitching to do so.

(7) My goal ( at minimum) is to go 9 -4 over next 13 games


Go Huskies

I looked at the Red Sox schedule. UConn using Fenway as a host sight for regionals would work if the Red Sox organization will allow them, as they are in Houston. Supers would not work if UConn was so fortunate to host a super too

Based on what I know about the Red Sox organization, they'd probably love to host it but I could imagine UConn wanting to stay in-state.

It's a real shame that DD Park is taken. If we we were actually hosting LSU, that would provide a nice lil tourism boost to Hartford. Those fans travel in droves for baseball. Pretty impressive to see, actually.

If UConn is fortunate enough to host a regional I think the best option is Dunkin Donuts Park. Currently the Yard Goats are home against Altoona. I think it’d be mutually beneficial to both UConn and the Yard Goats to see if Altoona and Hartford can swap a later home series. It works for UConn because DDP is obviously the best choice to use as a hosting sight. It works for the Yard Goats because there would be roughly 8 games of revenue rather than 3.

I agree!

I was shouted down when I suggested it last time though haha

I saw that. In defense of the poster who did that, I think they mistakenly thought you said to give up a home series

If I remember correctly they only play Altoona the first two weekends in June. There are no later series. They would have to swap weekends - not sure about the logistics.

You’re right. So that option wouldn’t work either. If I remember correctly schools have to submit hosting sights. They would have to prepare for the possibility of Supers as well. It’d be an absolute shame if UConn’s inability to provide one of their more successful programs with proper facilities prevented them from hosting.

Remember, UConn hosted the 2010 regionals in Norwich. It drew quite well there. With Hartford not available, I see no reason why Dodd Stadium could not be used again if UConn was selected as a host school. I'm a Connecticut Tiger season ticket holder, and I would love to see this happen.

Norwich is available the first two weekends in June. Worked fine (except outcome) in 2010. Work hotel packages out w/ Mohegan Sun/Foxwoods ;)

Too much baseball left to play to lose sleep over it.

If push comes to shove, they will figure something out.

I, for one, love the idea of LSU playing at Storrs haha

I pictured you hammering away at your keyboard, steam coming out of you ears.

Repeating "I hate Guapo" over and over...

LSU playing in Storrs would be hilarious. Not having lights pretty much kills the the whole bit in Storrs.

Have to say, I never expected the idea of playing at Fenway for the regional. The NCAA would probably love this, but if Connecticut is hosting, it should be held in state.

Shhh...if you post too loudly you'll get the "UConn should play more sports in Bridgeport" crowd over here.

You don't want that.

The Bridgeport ballpark is closed and is being turned into a music venue only.
