#22 UConn v. Cincinnati (Fri. 4/5 @ 1p @ J.O.C., Sat. 4/6 @ 2p @ DDP on CW20 & Sun. 4/7 @ 12p @ DDP)

[ATLDYKA]

Lets just hand Cincy the win. My goodness the errors are ridiculous.

 

[HawkHusky]

That's the game. Deplorable.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Would have thought with the extended outing that Wurster had yesterday that he would not be available to pitch today. May be another case of Penders stretching a pitcher.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Yea I don't get going Wurster there. Gardner and Johnson are still available.

The optics of dropping a series to a Cincy team that got crushed in basically all of their OOC series -- including NIAGARA-- is not gonna be pretty come selection time.

 

[firstnline]

So long top 25

 

[ATLDYKA]

So long top 25

Unfortunately this is how we have always responded after cracking top 25.

 

[uconnbaseball]

This team has to learn that scoring 3-5 runs a game will not consistently cut it. You have to score, especially with runners in scoring position.

 

[huskymedic]

Hey - at least it wasn’t the televised game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

8-3 cincy. I have essentially lost hope but if there is any chance of a miracle, the top of the order needs to get at least 2 back here.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Cincy just the smarter and better team today. We had our chance early to bury them, then questionable decisions and then bad defense killed us.

 

[navery12]

Still a lot of game left. Just need to chip away

 

[huskymedic]

Got 1 back... need a clean inning here. 8-4 heading to T7

 

[ATLDYKA]

Poor Langer has ripped the ball all weekend and has been robbed several times by great plays by Cincy.

 

[whaler11]

Everytime I go to a college baseball game I’m reminded of their facination with bunting.

First and second no out! BUNT TIME

 

[ATLDYKA]

Geez, not the defensive effort you want in front of a good size crowd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gotta have a crooked number at some point.

We have been unlucky with ball placement. I dislike the lack of patience but the swings have been good today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Woody having a rough day at the plate.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Why leave CJ in there? Pitch count getting too high.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Where's Gardner? I get Cincy's pen stinks so we should still be trying to win, but I trust Gardner to get outs.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good defense there.

 

[uconnbaseball]

8-4 bottom 8th for those following the game on this thread.

 

[ATLDYKA]

CJ with 50+ pitches after throwing yesterday?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Take 2 pitches here.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Game set and match. First two runners reach on a walk an HBP, then we do NOTHING.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Chris Winkel has to be the most impatient batter in the country. My goodness, can you take a few pitches and wait for a good one to hit. Fedko swings at ball 4 which would have loaded them with no outs. Does this team not realize a walk is as good as a hit and when your down 4 you need base runners. Insane!!
