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

[HawkHusky]

Can we go back to playing on the road?

 

[firstnline]

Cincy pitcher gets out of trouble. Top of the order really struggling and it's a concern.

 

[HawkHusky]

Another game of hero ball playing from behind.

 

[uconnbaseball]

This game could be a bummer going into the weekend.

 

[HawkHusky]

Cincy with a lead off triple. My god...

 

[firstnline]

4-0. Feole struggling and the lineup struggling, not a good recipe

Must be all the scouts...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Apparently we struggle with the off speed pitch. Can't keep stranding runners on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cincy has been awful all year. Losing this series would be painful at the end of the year...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Just seems this happens every time we finally crack the Top 25. The following week we struggle.

 

[TURNTWO]

Curious as to why Thad Phillips or Paul Gozzo is not in the designated hitter spot today. Both have had clutch hits this season.

 

[ATLDYKA]

2 on, no outs. Need some runs here.

 

[huskymedic]

Chip away - 1-0 on Prato sac fly.

 

[huskymedic]

Toppa having a rough day...

 

[HawkHusky]

Toppa having a rough day...

Feole having a rougher day...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Feole again struggling with his command and now bases are loaded. His season is reminding me a lot of Cate's season last year.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cincy has an awful pen. Don't let this get away...

 

[huskymedic]

Well done Mr. Johnson!

 

[ATLDYKA]

Nice job by Karl Johnson!

 

[HawkHusky]

Cincy has an awful pen. Don't let this get away...

Hopefully we get to their pen today...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hopefully we get to their pen today...

Not happening. First 2 outs on 3 pitches.
Cincy pitcher with a 5+ ERA and 0-5 record. Who would have guessed?

 

[uconnbaseball]

Score?

 

[huskymedic]

Score?

4-1 still...Gardner coming in w/ 2 outs in T7

 

[HawkHusky]

new cincy pitcher in the 7th

 

[HawkHusky]

4 pitch walk puts Langer on 1st to start the bottom of the 7th.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE smart at-bats!

 

[ATLDYKA]

Our 8 & 9 hitters have been a positive today.

 

[HawkHusky]

Nucerino hits into a double play on the 2nd pitch. SMH. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

 

[ATLDYKA]

My goodness I hate that. Why in the world would Nucerino be swinging there. 5 straight balls. No swing until a strike is thrown. Coach needs to give the red light there.

 

[HawkHusky]

Followed by a Woody ground out on his second pitch. Dumb at-bats.

Exactly what it is. Stupidity all around. Let the pitcher off the ropes. We make things way too easy some times.
