Phew... twin killer.

 

[kris1]

What a play by Wink!!! Double play to end the threat.

 

[HawkHusky]

Sounds like it was a nice double play there.

[huskymedic]

LOL. Penders living dangerous today:

 

[HawkHusky]

Bad call Penders. Bad call.

 

[huskymedic]

w/ one out:

 

[HawkHusky]

LOL. Really?

 

[huskymedic]

w/ one out:

... and another w/ two outs. 4-3 URI

Bad call Penders. Bad call.

Disagree, not like Wallace has been any more reliable and you can't rely on Poulin every gam e to throw multiple innings. Have to throw some of these other guys into the fire every now and then.

I get not wanting to overwork our top 2 relievers, but Dan has been a gas can lately.

Still disagree?

The UConn bullpen is like a box a chocolates....

IMO Wallace has been much less bad than Radjowski.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Let's just face it, our bullpen is a huge issue. No one is reliable.

 

[kris1]

Is Cate available out of the pen???

 

[businesslawyer]

PJ and Wallace are much more reliable than anyone else, but the criticism is silly. Penders didn't think putting Holmes and Ratjkowski in gave us the best chance to win. But this isn't a video game. he's trying to make decisions on not blowing the better relievers arms out before the season is over. And you don't have nearly enough information to understand if it was a good decision or not.

 

[kris1]

Bad loss heading into a tough weekend series.

 

[Baseballguy]

Well that wasn’t great

 

[Baseballguy]

Is Cate available out of the pen???

I heard he’s in good shape for relief on Saturday

you are right and why I was okay with the choices. Unfortunately we have a starting staff that outside of one of them can't even give us 5 innings. And going into a tournament setting does not bode well for us seeing that they will be called upon to pitch many innings.

I think they gave us the best chance to win but coaches decison to hold them back for critical conference series starting on Thursday makes absolute sense.

 

[HawkHusky]

Didn't realize the ECU series started on Thursday. That makes more sense. Just a disappointing end to the game.
