[Peacefrog]

The defense has gifted them life in this game. I hope Peterson has a few innings in him. Shut this down now and keep swinging the bats.

 

[navery12]

Well I was wrong, Penders hasn't learned his lesson apparently. Awful awful decision here

 

[JeannoCT]

Great catch TC.

 

[dbmill]

Brady Afthim warming in the pen. Peterson gets a fly out to end the inning, nice catch by Simmons. 9-5 UConn.

 

[businesslawyer]

Simmons with some redemption with a great catch.

We’re up 4 after 4 and a half, and have far more pitching left. This wasn’t going to be easy but you would gladly be in this position.

Amenities please;

Out of curiosity, which lesson are you referring to?

 

[Bomber36]

Let’s get em back boys!

 

[CTBballfan243]

It isn't but it's been obvious for a while that he was rattled. Penders should have been prepared

The fielders looked rattled not the pitcher

 

[navery12]

Out of curiosity, which lesson are you referring to?

To not throw a starting pitcher on 2 days rest after he threw 109 pitches on Friday

 

[CL82]

Go get them?

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Simmons with a leadoff walk, another pitching change. Savacool threw 109 pitches Saturday night for Maryland, is now pitching.

 

[HookC22]

I really hate seeing these guys pitch on no rest. I’ve seen too many guys lose years to Tommy John.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

To not throw a starting pitcher on 2 days rest after he threw 109 pitches on Friday

The lesson Penders hadn't learned was to not sit and do nothing while a big lead disappears.

There is nothing wrong with Peterson throwing an inning and a third (or slightly more if they are low pitch outs). He would have at least one throw day (possibly two as starts are a week apart) from last Friday until his next start. This can replace that.

 

[Marbles90]

Yikes. One pitch at Donlan’s ankles and one at his eyes = 2 strikes?

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Simmons steals 2B, Bushling with an rbi single, 10-5 UConn with 1 out.

I agree on the first part too. But I couldn't possibly disagree more with your 2nd paragraph. It's a major major issue. The throw day comparison is a really bad one, it's not remotely comparable

I'm not going to derail the thread and post anymore because it's an enjoyable game. I love Jim Penders and what he's done for UConn baseball, but this is a big black eye for him and he continues to put UConn pitchers in harm's way with these choices. I hope Peterson fares better than past UConn pitchers who have done this

that was a beautiful slide on the SB

 

[Peacefrog]

Nice to bounce back with that run. Maybe more?

 

[Bomber36]

Nice Zach!

 

[nadav]

This plate umpire sucks balls

 

[Jimdish255]

Close play at first???

it's not ok. HS, AAU and college coaches continue to do this and we wonder why guys are getting tommy john in their teens.

My AAU team had a bunch of studs on it. half the team played D1 and a few were drafted and a couple made the show. Our coach refused to pull this crap and we didn't win as much as some other teams, but he also didn't get them hurt. Morality means more than wins.

 

[Rocko52]

Damn that ump

 

[buddy]

Maryland is in the Big 10.

ESPN hates UConn, no matter who they are playing

 

[CTBballfan243]

Need a 1-2-3 inning here

Yes, it does absolutely matter but the arm problems are almost always due to what they throw more so than how much they throw.

I'll stop now.

Bizarre to see stock goes into a massive struggle at the most important time of year.

 

[metsfan2323]

Maryland's jerk fans behind the plate are paying dividends. The ump is clearly rattled and now heavily favoring Maryland with balls and strikes.

That strike zone was bizarre too.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Peterson starts the inning on the mound, he gets a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts, 10-5 UConn.
