BIg East Baseball Tourney

Inning over. If they can stay out of their own way maybe we steal this one. Be patient!

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than now

 

[The Viking]

Leadoff double. Top of the order up. and a pop up bunt.

Damn I hate bunting....hit to the right side and maybe you get a hit..infuriating. UConn really shooting themselves in the foot the last two innings.

 

[Jimdish255]

Went right from the good to the ugly - skipped the bad.

 

[The Viking]

WP, Paul at 3B with one out. 90 feet away.

IBB, 1st and 3rd one out for Mazzilli..and now the IBB Mazzilli to get to Siena, bases juiced.

 

[The Viking]

WP or passed ball and UCOnn wins, what a comeback

 

[killerBsaturn]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Jimdish255]

Hooray! Got away with some kaos but made it work. Nice win.

 

[huskymedic]

Ha... Game of inches and a lot of luck sometimes!

Great win despite warts!

 

[Jimdish255]

Next game is when?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Passed ball and Paul scores. We win 8-7. What a comeback win.

Didn't see the result till now. This team is just getting silly.

Any thoughts on what Penders does with starting pitching for tomorrow. Is Ward available or his he hurt? I imagine Tabakman will get the start but if we need Ward in a second game tomorrow is he available or possibly in the championship game. I wonder if Butler maybe gets a start since he has been used minimally so far. What other options are there? I can't imagine him starting Colletti especially if we made it to the championship game.

Tabakman will start the first Saturday game, there's no doubt about that. It seems Butler has taken over the role as the closer, with Feehan and Mahaney the main set up guys, so I'm guessing they won't start any games. Ward is with the team in Florida, and according to Chris Jones on WHUS, is available to pitch. I'm guessing the most likely candidates would be Ward or Colletti to start. I expect that any starters aside from Tabakman would be on a very short leash from Penders. We saw that with the bullpen last night. Also a possibility would be a "staff" game on Sunday, where you might see just about anybody, including short stints from Cross and Marzi. The good news is that with the off day today, the bullpen should be fairly well rested for Saturday and possibly Sunday.

Like I said before, given the starting pitching situation it would really help UConn to avoid a second game on Saturday, so we need a big effort from Tabakman on Saturday.

Just a heads up. The game will be on ESPN3 a la WatchESPN App.

 

[killerBsaturn]

up 2-1 good guys bottom of the 4th

 

[dbmill]

Going into the 6th inning, UConn up 2-1. Hope we can get a couple more shut out innings from Tabakman. Still, I'm sure at this point Penders will yank him right away if there is any sign of trouble.

 

[Bezzz]

I'm jumping on the baseball bandwagon. I mostly follow D-3. Watching this kid Tabakman, he has incredible movement on his fastball, major league stuff, no? Any negatives on him?
