BIg East Baseball Tourney

Tabakman gets out of the 7th nicely. Let's go UConn!!!

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?

Welcome aboard. Tabakman spent most of the season in the bullpen before moving into the starting rotation late in the year. Because of this, he hasn't gone deep into the games. Like many UConn pitchers, he is prone to wildness and can he can start walking everyone in sight at moments notice.. But generally, he has been very good.

 

[ATLDYKA]

These announcers keep messing everything up.

 

[huskymedic]

C'mon baby... need couple of "make daddy feel better" runs.

 

[Jimdish255]

Nice recovery to end the inning. Let's tack 1 on here.

 

[dbmill]

So far, pitching wise, this game has been a best case scenario for UConn. Tabakman goes seven strong innings, before Penders starts bringing in the Feehan-Mahoney-Butler trio to close out the game. One more inning to sweat out!

 

[ATLDYKA]

Wow it took them that look to figure out it was batter interference.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Needed something from Mazzilli there.

 

[Jimdish255]

OK had to work but in the end - Bye Bye Rutty!

 

[killerBsaturn]

WOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[SAMCRO]

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. On to the championship game!

 

[ASweet3781]

[huskymedic]

[BoatShow]

So even though it's a double elimination tourney, it's a one game final?

Yes

 

[dbmill]

Wow! This team has been depending on its pitching and especially its relief corps all year. As long as they do well and the fielding doesn't mess up too badly, we usually do ok. This game was the perfect example of that. Best part about this game is that the whole bullpen should be in good shape for tomorrow and Notre Dame. At any rate, it promises to be a kitchen sink game for the pitching staff with no clear front runner to start tomorrow.

 

[ATLDYKA]

I would think if Ward is healthy he wouldn't certainly get the start. Especially since some of ND's best hitters are lefties. Anyways hope the wind is blowing from right to left again. Our batters have to try and be more patient swinging and try to keep the ball down and not so many fly outs since most balls hit in the air are being knocked down.

How may innings can Cross throw?

 

[ATLDYKA]

How may innings can Cross throw?

I would say only in absolute emergency since he threw 119 pitches and he is only on 3 days rest.

 

[huskymedic]

How may innings can Cross throw?

No limits but he threw 9 innings and 119 pitches against Louisville 2 days ago. He could go on three days rest but... more likely relief if needed if at all.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Got to figure the following guys tomorrow - Ward, Colletti, Jolin, and Moore are all fresh.

 

[LIUCHusky]

Got to figure the following guys tomorrow - Ward, Colletti, Jolin, and Moore are all fresh.

With the exception of Tabakman, all hands on deck tomorrow.

Anyone know who ND is throwing tmrw? Is their ace on 3 days rest as well?

I am not familiar with their pitching staff. Can anyone do a pre-game analysis?
