Freshman Patrick Gallagher makes his UConn debut on the mound to start the top of the 9th inning.
 
Two runs off Gallagher for the first earned runs of UConn pitching today make it 5-0 for Cal Poly going to the bottom of the 9th. Pitching before Gallagher for UConn today was excellent, fielding and hitting not so much.
 
Rinse and repeat, UConn goes down 1-2-3 in the 9th. Cal Poly wins 5-0.

Wow. bats were invisible today. and fielding looked shaky. They looked like a northern team today playing in their first game.

In future seasons UConn baseball may be able to get out on their field and practice outside a little during mild and dry days during the winter. It didn't happen this winter with their playing field under construction.
 
I’m not surprised by today’s outcome. There are a lot of new guys breaking in, especially in the infield. It’ll take some time to get their communication and comfort level buttoned up. That being said it’s hard to win if your giving teams extra outs. I’m more concerned with the offense, or lack there of. We have to do a better job putting the ball in play. Cal Poly’s offense forced the defense to make plays.

I have season tickets for New York Penn League games in Norwich during the summer. This league has many first year players just out of college. This sort of thing happens often enough in that league. Still, getting picked off 2B by the catcher will make anyone grimace.

What's your verdict on the new name? I don't like it, but I also don't hate it.

Warm, not mild.

None of the final five names were all that good. I thought Sea Unicorns was the worst of the bunch. However, the uniforms do look good.
 
Not going to be easy for the bats to wake up against Rocker if he pitches tomorrow. I watched a good portion of the Michigan - Vanderbilt game and I was surprised that there are not that many fans in the stands.

You are not gonna see a better pitcher all year than rocker. Excited for kids to have that kind of opportunity. Will be interesting to see if it’s same lineup or penders makes some small changes

I said it before, but the first two weeks are going to be very difficult. As for the lineup, I don't think anything is set stone at this point, so it wouldn't surprise me if Penders does some tinkering to see what players can do. David Langer is someone I expect to see in the lineup at some point, as well as others.
 
Yup. Some kids really struggle out of gate before they get the feel. Kyler Fedko was 0 for forever and I remember thinking woodworth looked overmatched at this level his first few weekends. These kids will grow and figure it out it just might not be this weekend and that is ok. But great to have hook c back....

Dang... you have to listen very hard for any background noise.

Win or lose, and with or without substantial background noise, it's good to have these interviews back. Over the course of the season they really do add to understanding what is going on with UConn baseball.

NOTE time change. Early game finished late.

Looks like Coach Penders is putting in the field what he regards as the best defensive lineup he can against the national champs. Kind of understandable after what happened in the game yesterday.

Chris Jones says that Ben Maycock is sick, so he will not play tonight.
 
Top 1st, Vandy gets two runners on, but Colby Dunlop serves up a scoreless inning.
 
Not bad Colby. Let's see if the offense can do anything at all against Mr. Rocker.
