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

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Sullivan gets 3 outs in a row, stranding 2 runners on base. 8-2 Stanford. Sullivan threw 10 pitches.

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 pen.

Good context, my bad

 

[Khal Drogo]

Good job Sully

 

[shizzle787]

Need 3-4 runs this inning to give us a chance in the bottom of the 9th.

 

[AzHusky]

Bullpen did it's job tonight.

 

[huskymedic]

C’mon boys… make ‘em sweat a little bit tonight.

 

[NYtoCT]

Ok for real this time. Runs. Get them.

 

[CtBaseball]

Great work by Sully

If nothing else, at least holding Stanford scoreless for 7 innings gives our pitchers more confidence going into tomorrow. I feel like we were a little scared from the late game barrage from yesterday and were intimidated today.

This is a great point. So much of baseball is mental.

Yes, if the game finishes around where it is now, momentum is definitely more even heading into tomorrow.

As the announcer said this Stanford team feasts on fastballs and our guys don't don't have electric fastballs. The offspeed stuff from Gallagher, Chudoba, and Sullivan makes them look very ordinary.

Bullpen did it's job tonight.

Was far better than that. Great work by some pitchers who have been forgotten as we’ve narrowed our rotation for post season. Sullivan is going to be incredibly important next year.

 

[shizzle787]

Walk to start. One batter at a time.

 

[Tenspro2002]

He dropped the ball while trying to frame a bad pitch and still got the call. .

I think it was a makeup call for that ball 4 to Dana lol

Strongly agree. All things considered, the bullpen was phenomenal.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after a leadoff walk. 8-2 Stanford.

 

[UConntLose]

If we can hold them here we have all the momentum going into tmrw. We’ve seen pretty much all their pitchers. I like being the away team so we can jump on them early tmrw.

 

[CtBaseball]

The way Sully's going, I wonder if we can use him tomorrow ......

 

[CtBaseball]

Do we think Cookie monster or Enzo will start tomorrow?

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Sullivan allows a 2 out single, runner advances to 2B on a Simmons error. Braden Quinn coming in to face a lefty hitter.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I don't like being the away team but it appears that in this series that is an advantage.

The shadows on home plate make hitting very difficult. I will be amazed if we can scratch out any runs in the ninth.

 

[HookC22]

Do we think Cookie monster or Enzo will start tomorrow?

Enzo scares me. But maybe try and get one time through the lineup with him.

 

[dbmill]

Do we think Cookie monster or Enzo will start tomorrow?

Suspect it will be Stefanoni, but I'm sure at the first sign of big trouble Cooke will be getting ready.

Up to now, the UConn weekend starters have not missed a start, which is rather amazing.
