2019 Conference Opener: UConn @ Houston (Fri. 3/22 @7:30p ET, Sat. 3/23 @ 7:30p ET & Sun. 3/24 @ 12:30p ET)

[dbmill]

Chase Gardner allows an infield hit, but gets two outs to end the 6th inning. Joe Simeone was warming up during the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

How many of Houston's hits have made it out of the infield? May need to move our infielders in a step.

UH is very good at two things offensively: 10 foot singles and looking at strike 3.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Woody strokes a single with 1 out.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Difference in this game has been defense.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Gardner still on the mound for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones saying most likely Jimmy Wang starts tomorrow.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, two outs, one runner on, Chase Gardner comes out, Joe Simeone takes the mound.

 

[dbmill]

Simeone gets a fly ball out to end the 7th inning. 5-4 Houston.

LOL... Even Jones holds his breath watching Toppa make plays in left.

Yeah, I noticed that too.

Top 8th, UConn offense continues to slumber.

Top 8th, UConn offense continues to slumber.

We have not done anything since that 1st inning...the only other run we scored was on an unearned run.

 

[huskymedic]

Assuming (big one) we hold here... K. Fedko, Gozzo and Phillips due up. See any potential changes coming?

Tinky Winky pinch hit? I assume Pat is healthy enough.

Tinky Winky pinch hit? I assume Pat is healthy enough.

For whom - Maybe Fedko?

 

[dbmill]

Simeone gets two outs, then Penders comes out and makes what seems to be his customary two out pitching change. Caleb Wurster coming in.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Bullpen has done a real nice job.

I'm thinking they all hit. Nucerino would be pinch hit for if it got that far.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Assuming (big one) we hold here... K. Fedko, Gozzo and Phillips due up. See any potential changes coming?

Probably Winkel pinch hit for Gozzo assuming it is still a righty for Houston.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster gets his out. On to the 9th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Top 9, still 5-4 UH.

Summoning the rally papaya.

 

[uconnbaseball]

1 pitch out by Kyler is not helping...

 

[dbmill]

That's it for this game. 5-4 Houston.

 

[huskymedic]

Welp... still a chance to take the series mañana.

 

[dbmill]

Have to think Thad Phillips playing 3B during conference games has got to stop for now. Play him there during non conference games if you want him to learn the position. Non conference games are when you experiment like that. I'd like him to D.H. for a change.
