Meanwhile, the other guys…

Because of the exhausting night on the mound, Maryland will now face the challenge of a scarce pitching staff moving forward in the tournament. Vaughn said he may try starter Jason Savacool for an inning and will work in a couple of guys to fill in the blanks.

“We didn’t have the luxury of saying, ‘Oh, we got to save somebody to start tomorrow,’ because if we don’t get that done today, there is no tomorrow,” Vaughn said.

Nick Robinson, Ryan Ramsey helped Maryland baseball overcome bullpen woes against UConn

Robinson’s stellar start alongside Ramsey’s late surge furthered the Terps’ historic season despite a late bullpen breakdown.

No question that at this point in the regional that UConn's pitching staff is in better shape in terms of quality and rest than what Maryland has. Still, we'll just have to see how it all plays out. It will be another night of listening to the words of Chris Jones while broadcasting the game on MIXLR running through my head.
 
Cooke is starting. Chudoba is ready. Word on the street is Chudoba has looked really good in game simulations the last few weeks. Surpised the staff isn't starting Chudoba given the veteran presence he offers, but it's much nicer to be in a position where you have the option of starting two really good pitchers than the position Maryland is in. I think we will get 5 solid from Cooke, 3 scoreless from Chudoba, and a 1-2-3 9th from Willis. Key is to get out of the top of the 1st unscathed and then jump on them. Gotta put the pressure on Maryland from the jump.

Also wondering if some of Erik Stock's batting problems of late may be due in some part to his leg injury that seems to be keeping him from playing the outfield.

Yes, he is definitely dealing with a lingering foot issue from some foul balls. He was laboring to get around the bases in game 1.
 
Moved Padilla up and Donlan down in the order. Probably a good move based on the quality of at bats through the regional. Other than the big HR, Donlan hasn't even been putting the ball in play with 7 strikeouts in the 3 games. Even some of Padilla's outs have been hard hit balls

More interesting to me is Stock going back to LF. Maybe -- hopefully -- that means his leg is a little better today. (More likely, it means Stock is lying about it but one can hope.)

Good to see a move like this. As I've said before, nothing wrong with moving players up and down the lineup due to performance. Thinking it is possible that Donlan's bat may possibly being affected by him catching all the games down the stretch as well.
 
In tournaments like these quite often the team that prevails is the one that does not run out of pitching. We absolutely need to capitalize on this advantage.

I'm curious if an injury is why Morton is not I tg he field tonight (could also explain his getting pulled late in yesterday's game).

It is indeed interesting that Stock is playing the field again. Yes, usually it would be an indication of a healthier player. It may also be that Stock hits better when he is playing in the field as well.

One more observation on the move. It may be a thing with Morton. With Korey at D.H., it opens up more possibilities for pinch hitting for him in case his approach at the plate does not look good early on tonight. Considering that Ferrer pinched hit for Morton last night, I would think this is a possibility. Perhaps also it is a way of getting Fedko an at bat late in the game as well.

Keep MD scoreless in the top of the 1st. Then……….advantage UConn.
 
Johnson has 15 walks in 19 innings, which is presumably why, despite the good ERA, he didn't pitch more.

For God's sake, let's tamp down on the aggresiveness at the plate, take some pitches and make him throw strikes.

With the LSU game only in the 7th. What channel will the game begin on ???
 
Let's go Huskies !!!! How I wish the dogs were placed out west in Stanford. I live 5 minutes from the stadium and will be attending there game this evening after our Huskies victory. I would have loved to see how our dogs matched up against the Cardinals. Uconn has much respect out here !!!!

Peterson huh… Cooke will be fine just settle in. The place is buzzing.
 
Just found the game on ESPN news . Here we go boys. Let’s get it done. We need a good start
