Men 2022 UConn Baseball @ NCAA Tournament’s Palo Alto, CA. Super-Regional vs #2 Stanford

[Dove]

Peterson leaves in an Austin Martin.

 

[superjohn]

This is fugly

 

[Tenspro2002]

It's really hard to win a game and have the other team have all of the momentum -- and then you're really hoping that momentum doesn't carry over -- but, yeah.

 

[BugsyCT]

Well, this isn't going well.

 

[Khal Drogo]

Oh man

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Why are we giving Bowser anything hittable?

 

[superjohn]

Momentum is as good as your next starter, Peterson came up really small.

 

[mike012]

UConn will have to go for the td next possession. Possible go for two.

 

[Bomber36]

Call he didn’t give Peterson.

 

[Bomber36]

Ok boys…let’s get the bats going.

 

[Punkbo]

Peterson getting 2 strike counts on everyone and then spitting the bit. Bad pitch locations, trying to get too cute.

And there’s the bomb as I type this…

Gonna have to win this with bats tonight

Nobody wants to hear it, but Justbrewit is absolutely correct. Peterson just wasn’t tough enough tonight with two strikes.

 

[BugsyCT]

Stanford's scored like 16 runs in their last 4 innings.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

I’d say that this game isn’t over because I wouldnt be surprised if we get another 10 runs.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure if our bullpen can keep them below 20.

 

[Bomber36]

Brutal slider there.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

We are definitely tight and pressing way too much.

Hopefully the butt whooping today will loosen them up and piss them off for tomorrow.

Let’s worry about that after we catch up! 8-2, let’s keep this going.

 

[mrl2016]

Fanta saying since Peterson is a pitcher he would be suspended for next 4 games. Can anyone confirm?

 

[WestCoastHusky]

We need to get some hits and runs.

 

[Hookknows]

The umpire didn’t help squeezing the strike zone to a 25 cent size!

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Fanta is reporting that since Peterson was thrown out of the game, he is now suspended for our next 4 games following tonight.

If true, that kills us even if we win the Super Regional.

 

[uconnbaseball]

1 run isn't gonna do it. Stanford's new pitcher aint amazing but they don't need amazing right now, unfortunately.

 

[Bomber36]

Fanta saying since Peterson is a pitcher he would be suspended for next 4 games. Can anyone confirm?

Section 26 rule e

Whenever a pitcher is ejected for disputing an umpire’s decision or for unsportsmanlike conduct or language directed at an opponent or umpire (including a post-participation ejection), the suspension will be for a total of four (4) games. This applies whether the ejection occurs while the player is serving as the current game pitcher or after having been removed from the game and his last listed position was that of a pitcher. If a player is removed as pitcher but remains in the game in another capacity such as a designated hitter or at a defensive position and is then ejected, the suspension penalty is one additional game.

May we be so lucky that this interferes with him pitching in Omaha.

The bad news is this could get ugly tonight. The good news is no matter how ugly it is, the worst case is we’re going to have a one game winner take all tomorrow. I’m assuming our bullpen will be called upon accordingly (unless we get back in the game).

Dinner over. 8-2 Stamford going to the top of the 3rd. UConn needs Chudoba to eat up some innings tonight. Funny, as soon as I wrote that, Chris Jones said pretty much the same thing on the MIXLR broadcast.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Chudoba faces the minimum with a double play ending the inning. 8-2 Stanford.
