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

[Tenspro2002]

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.

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.

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.

 

[CtBaseball]

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

The fact we're taking Sully out here makes me think he has some left in the tank for tomorrow.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

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

We will need at least three (somewhat) quality innings from both Enzo and Cooke tomorrow.

 

[CtBaseball]

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

I know routine is valuable, but I pray we start Cookie Monster.

 

[UConntLose]

Do we think Cookie monster or Enzo will start tomorrow?

Cooke is starting.

It’s not. It’s Cooke.

 

[Viet Vet]

Not a good look for Peterson. Doesn't matter if you agree with the calls, don't act like that.

Petulant.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Quinn gets a ground out to end the inning. 8-2 Stanford.

 

[Bomber36]

Superb job by the pen tonight.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If we do get to Omaha, the confidence boost provided from this game will be invaluable given Peterson’s lack of availability.

 

[Bomber36]

Not a good look for Peterson. Doesn't matter if you agree with the calls, don't act like that.

Based on the rest of the pitchers tonight, it’s clear that he just didn’t have it.

 

[CtBaseball]

Petulant.

If you compete your heart out, I can't get upset with you. You are giving your all. That's why I'm defensive of our players even when they swing at bad pitches or make mistakes on the mound.

But acting like a spoiled brat because you're getting knocked around and you don't like the strike-zone is petulant and selfish behavior. Bad for the team in more ways than one.

 

[uconnbaseball]

6 pitch walk to start the bottom of the 9th, not really what Stanford wanted.

 

[CL82]

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

I feel better about Stefanoni today then I did yesterday. These guys aren’t supermen.

It was embarrassing and he should be very embarrassed by it. Penders was certainly not pleased. He’s young though…he’ll learn and recover from it.

Not trying to automatically defend him here but I need to see the order of events again. I’m sure he said something but most of the childish behavior seems to have come after he was tossed. I just hope it was warranted because otherwise that’s such a terrible move from an umpire.
