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

[mrl2016]

See my above post:

The pitcher walked the guy before
Almost hit him on the pitch to get it to 2-0

I don’t care if the guy has hall of fame stuff. You see a strike in that situation

Thank you for clarifying that it’s very hard to play sports at a high division one level. I guess everyone but you was confused.

I understand that my post came across in a bad way. I'm trying to say, this is not all on our guys. It is also a representation of how good Stanford is.

Top 7th, O'Donnell and Sullivan warming in the pen. Chudoba with another 1-2-3 inning. 8-2 Stanford. Chudoba at 72 pitches. Like I said before, one of his best performances of the season.

The UConn winner for tonight is Cole. Beyond impressed.

 

[huskymedic]

Cole’s doing everything he can…

 

[Khal Drogo]

This is the inning

 

[Tmill15]

Cole Chudoba has been tremendous

 

[Shortking98]

Chudoba has been outstanding and this effort is extremely important

 

[CtBaseball]

Thrilled they're bring in Matthews now, meaning if we can't pull off a miracle tonight, they might not have him for many innings tomorrow

Congrats on the post. It was a horrible swing.

 

[NEforceUConn]

Full Mojo

I'm pumped for tonight's game!

As one well known Husky has said, "We Plan to Shock the World Today!"

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, UConn offense goes down in order. 8-2 Stanford.

 

[Tenspro2002]

I'm sure these are tough pitches to read out of the hand, but that's 5 or 6 times we've swung at ball 4.

 

[Khal Drogo]

This is the inning

This is is the inning before the next inning when we get 9 runs

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Chudoba on the mound, and Sullivan and O'Donnell warming up.

Chudoba gives up a leadoff walk, O'Donnell coming in to face a lefty hitter.

 

[Punkbo]

This is the right move. Congrats to Cole. Great effort!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

There are quite a few things that I don't get here. I won't single any batters out but there were a few spots (including one critical that could have led to a big inning) where free swinging hurt us badly.

Also a lack of maturity by a veteran player is inexcusable (but I do hope that it ends up hurting us).

Major kudos to Chudoba!

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, O'Donnell walks the first batter he faces, Sullivan coming in to pitch with 2 runners on and no out.

 

[superjohn]

Those appearances are always rough, come in for 4 straight balls and get pulled.

I know his era is not bad but man OD seems to struggle more often than he doesn’t. He likely wasn’t gonna pitch to more than 1 hitter but none of those were remotely close.

In the playoffs, this has certainly been the case. Regular season he was very dependable. As Penders sometimes says, it seems the moment might have gotten too big for him.

Chris Jones says Braden Quinn warming up in the pen.

 

[CtBaseball]

Uh oh, Braden Quinn. He gave up 5 runs in the 1st inning against a sub-200 RPI team.

 

[UConntLose]

No matter what happens from here on out, I am extremely impressed with Chudoba. Wish he wasn't graduating off the team.

He has another year of eligibility but he’s not gonna use it.

 

[dbmill]

Uh oh, Braden Quinn. He gave up 5 runs in the 1st inning against a sub-200 RPI team.

And before that, Quinn did pretty well in most of the games he appeared in. Suspect Quinn will come in if runs start coming in for Stanford to help save the rest of the big UConn pitchers out of the pen.
