Xavier beat Creighton tonight, so UConn is back in first place in the Big East standings.

Top 9th, Fogell with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts, Fogell gets the save, UConn gets the 10-7 victory.

Hell of a job by the staff finding and refining this guy. His numbers at Brown were not great but he clearly has the stuff to pitch for this team.

This team wins ugly but they all look beautiful in the standings. Guts are not in short supply with this bunch. Never say die!!! Rollskies!!!

Coe was outstanding! I arrived late in the top of the third and was in line for my $2 beer when Pokrovsky hit the 3 run homer to put Seton Hall up 5-1. To make matters worse, they ran out the $2 beers when I was third in line at about 8:20. Had to settle for a $11 Two Conn beer. All’s well that ends well!

I expected so much more of Coe this year than we’ve gotten. His batting average against has been stupendous all year but his lack of control has kept him from being reliable. He was at 6 walks per 9 innings going in to yesterday, and even yesterday he had 2 or 3 walks and a hit batter. But if you only give up one hit, free 90s don’t matter.

Anyway, one down and two to go. And the win moved us into first in the Big East and back to 16th in the Nolan RPI. With the opponents coming up next week, holding the RPI will be tough even if we win all our games, but all we can do about it is win all our games and hope a number of OOC opponents have good weeks.

In fairness 1 of Coe’s 2 walks and his hit batter both came in his last inning of work when he was likely tiring. His changeup yesterday was outstanding and a real weapon like we’ve seen in the past when he is at his best

Planning to come up for today’s game with our toddler, looked for seats this morning and there are plenty of regular seats but no general admission on the berm available.

The berm would work muuuuuuch better for our purposes, anyone know if those are really sold out or if there’s any other way to get them?

The general admission tickets are all you need for the berm. You can bring lawn chairs or a blanket if you’d like.

that was our plan. But the GA aren’t available on the UConn ticket site, only regular seats.

Right, that was our plan. But the GA aren’t available on the UConn ticket site, only regular seats.

You can pick them up at the box office.

Yeah, I think we all expected more of Coe this season.

Chris Jones has been talking during game broadcasts about the rise of runs being scored in games all across college baseball this season. From conversations he has had with Coach Mac, it would seem to them that changes have been made to the ball being used in college baseball this season. Among other things, they seem to think that the ball is harder, more slippery, and with lower seams. If this is the case, pitchers would certainly need to adjust.

Coe has done a bit better of late. I don't know if this "new" ball was a part of his control problems this season, but if it was, hopefully he has finally adjusted to it. Just speculation on my part. We'll see how he does in future pitching stints.

Always look forward to the post game interviews with Coach Penders. Big positives on Garrett Coe as you would expect as will as T.C. Simmons, among other comments.

Ran out of beer in second inning? That’s embarrassing….you advertise and make a big deal out of the promo and then you fail miserably.

Coe threw 90 pitches in the game last night. I believe Chris Jones said during the broadcast that it was the most pitches that he has thrown in a game in a UConn uniform. Coe did a fine job on the mound, and due to it, as mentioned by myself and others, he saved the rest of the bullpen for the rest of this Seton Hall series.

Coe's ERA is now 4.05 for the season after this game.

...and Penders readily admitted as much - "need to get a few more pallets in next time"

Maybe there’s a shortage of Miller Lite beer due to the Bud Light fiasco.

 

[Rdkid]

interview with Coe got cut short. I think he was about to say (about the student crowd) “especially when they drank all of the $2 Miller Lite” in the first two innings. That beer is piss, but glad to see youth is not wasted on the young.

That may be true. In that case substitute Miller or Bud Heavy as my sports bar refers them. I wasn’t there so it didn’t affect me but not a good look.
