2019 NCAA Baseball Tournament Oklahoma City Regional Elimination Game: #1 Oklahoma State v. #2 UConn (6/2/19 @6p ET > WatchESPN/ESPN3)

[Stainmaster]

Someone correct me if I’m wrong; I believe that by pushing the regional final to a second game, this is now the program’s second-deepest postseason run since 1980 (encompassing both the Baylock and Penders eras). Only the 2011 team made it further.

Wow.

A movie that I need to see, but that is for another thread in the Entertainment section.

 

[Guapo]

Wins over Nebraska and Okie St facing elimination in both. Today was a good day.

We are a "power five" athletic department

 

[dbmill]

Yeah, he doesn't necessarily trust him a lot, but Penders basically only pitches 8 guys on this staff in games against decent opponents: Feole, Kersten, Wang, Simeone, Dunlop, Wurster, Dandenau, and Wallace. I guess Johnson is probably next on the list.

Don't sleep on Johnson. The guy has talent. If he has his control, he could be huge. There were times this season I thought he was about become a mainstay of the bullpen.

Meanwhile, does anyone know how OSUs pitching looks?

People around the country are slowly picking up on that.

Their kid going deep today was huge. Oddly enough, in this situation we are hurt by being the home team today as they only had to pitch 8 innings

 

[UConnNick]

3 from Feole 3 from Wang-Johnson-Dandeneau-Wallace

It doesn't matter whether you've pitched today or not, except for Dunlop, and maybe not even him. All hands on deck tomorrow, because there's no tomorrow if we lose.

Unless Dunlop is ambidextrous you can not pitch him tomorrow

 

[Adios]

If we win tomorrow, we'd have to probably play Texas Tech for the World Series bid.

If you want to ruin kids' careers then sure

And Penders definitely does not want to do that, or get that reputation. Tomorrow you will see plenty of one or two inning stints, unless Johnson or Mayock get a chance and get on a roll.

200 degrees. That qualify as baking?

I mean I consider using the oven baking, unless you’re broiling. What do you call it?

Might want to add a “not” to that. But yeah, he’ll do the right thing. OSU is stretched thin too. This format is tough on a college staff.

Thanks, I write and edit too much, that much is for certain. Things eventually turn to mush with all the retouching.

Agreed. If we can get 1 guy stretched out to 3-4 innings I like our chances. Wang seems like the best bet, even if it's been shaky of late

Wannabe grilling.

 

[huskymedic]

Toppa should be good tomorrow right?

(Edit -> Sounds more really questionable after listening to Penders in post game press conference below. He’s a hot senior. I’m guessing he’ll play if there’s any way he possibly can - even a cameo pinch hit if needed.)

 

[huskymedic]

 

[hardcorehusky]

Maybe Toppa to Dan Hurley if at all possible? Unfortunately you lose Phillips(unless he goes to 3rd).

 

[dbmill]

This is a must listen, lots of good stuff. Penders says he has to check with him, but Haus could be the starter tomorrow. Also, Toppa may be a no go tomorrow.

 

[johnhuskies95]

(Sounds like a maybe. He’s a hot senior. I’m guessing he’ll play if there’s anyway he possibly can)

Goes without saying but that's a massive loss if he can't go tomorrow. But yeah I can't imagine a senior not playing in a winner take all game due to dehydration.

 

[Pudge]

All in all ... a pretty incredible UConn sports day. Thanks guys and Jim Pendere

 

[Danzz]

Give IV's in both arms tonight and send him out there.

 

[businesslawyer]

Haus pitched 2 innings Saturday and one Sunday. That would be a strange starter but who knows.

They’ve got to get 3 or 4 innings from erstwhile starters — Wang, Haus or simeone. The bullpen other than the big 3 then has to get you through 6. I’d guess wurster is out but if we’re up 1 or 2 after 6, I would expect CJ and Wally would find a way to combine for 3. Wally threw a bunch of pitches tonight but it was his first appearance in 8 days

Guess it depends on how hard he pushed it and if they can get him loose enough by tomorrow. But between fluids, food, ice baths, heat and work by the trainers they can accomplish a little tonight and a little in the am. Who knows.

I wonder how much of that is gamesmanship from Penders to try and throw OSU off. He also said in the post game that Kersten might be available tomorrow which would be crazy given he’s thrown 98 pitches the last 2 days.
