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

[Nostical]

I watched the entire game. What helped me stay awake were texts I was getting throughout it from my friend in Palo Alto (dad of a Stanford player). After the game he mentioned some post-game finger pointing at the 3rd base coach for sending runners into unnecessary outs. Who knows. It’s all a blur to me. I’m running on 4 hours sleep and already on my second cup of coffee. Let’s win today!

Got some good friends moving next week and this has been going away party weekend.
We went tubing on a river yesterday and sun was pretty intense.
Came back, cleaned up and watched Belmont and then on to Tampa and Rangers. Made it home to get first four innings of Huskies before it was nappy nap time on sofa last night.

Today is a shrimp boil early this afternoon before the game tonight. I should be able to make it through tonight's game.

Tomorrow will be rough.

If the third base coach sent both the runners who got thrown out while Stanford was way behind, finger pointing is fair.

I stayed up, got 6 hour in and still feel like I didn’t sleep at all.

 

[Padutch5]

After thinking about what I witnessed, Stanford pretty much made an out or hit a home run. No long fly balls to the track. That is rare. I doubt they can do that again.
Kudos to Pat Gallagher. Outside the 2nd inning and when he ran out of gas, he shut out that lineup!
The win almost feels like a loss with that 9th inning. That is good for UConn baseball as the underdog that needs to scrap.
In Penders' comments, he spoke about the lost ar bays in the 9th inning. The batter approach the rest of the game was really good and I hope we continue that today. If we do, we will put up runs.
Finally, when will ESPN announcers stop fawning over our opponents? They spend 2/3rds of each broadcast talking up a team trailing UConn.

Radio announcers were much better.

Today's goal

 

[CL82]

There are ten and a half hours until AP throws the first pitch. Any thought that I’m going to do anything productive between now and then in zombie mode is absurd.

Really, has productivity and The Boneyard ever been that great of a mix?

Fair point. But normally it’s because I am on the Boneyard. Not because I’m watching a game until 2:15, at which point it’s impossible to get any deep sleepl

I don’t usually post on this board, but look in to get score updates. Yesterday we had a lot of company in to stay overnight. I watched here in CT until the end of 5. I predicted to myself 11-5 wasn’t the end of scoring. I was asleep two minutes later. Checked in this am. I am great at predictions and as it turns out, avoiding a coronary and/or a blood pressure spike. Go Huskies.

Ha ha, I know what you mean. I had a few things on deck for today that I wanted to work on and I find myself thinking “yeah that’s not gonna happen.”

It's called planning ahead. I made sure that everything necessary was accomplished by early yesterday afternoon.

Today I'm vegging out.

What the freak is that supposed to mean? They make it sound like we lucked into it as opposed to totally destroying their ace.

Granted, it got a little… interesting at the end, but we lead from start to finish.

It means that they were watching the same game that all the commenters on pages 17/18/19 above were…

It was a battle, no doubt about it, but we knocked their ace out of the game and put up 13 runs against the second ranked team in the country at their place. That is one hell of an accomplishment.

(Of course I fully knowledge that the lack of sleep may be making me cranky and reactionary.)

A productive nap?

Radio announcers were much better.

Like I have said before, I always listen to Chris Jones when it comes to UConn baseball.

Waiting for the last day of the sea music festival to begin. Another marathon day of sea music followed by UConn baseball.

Braggart.

 

[Dove]

The Road To Omaha runs past Austin!!

I have to admit, I was confident enough to hit the sack after Coe retired them in the 7th.

 

[businesslawyer]

Yeah, see this is why people don’t like accountants FCF. What is “planned ahead?” At least lawyers are like normal people in that we only worry about doing work at the last possible moment it can be done.

I’m torn as to whether that makes you brilliant or having badly missed the boat.

BL, you left out "that we can bill for".

And my comment is coming from an accountant.

 

[Chin Diesel]

I'd like to see the percentage of a home team hitting 8 home runs in a 9 inning game and losing.

Personally, I question his commitment.

I’m assuming that, prior to yesterday, it had to be close to Mr. Blutarski’s grade point average.

 

[huskyjawz]

Today is tough with the lack of sleep, but I shutter to think how it would feel if we had blown the game.

Love it Dean Wormer!

 

[CtBaseball]

If we can’t pull it out tonight (I hope we do!), I think we should start Cooke in game 3. No offense to our boy Enzo, but … I think Stanford might feast.
