Please, patience and lay off the high fast ball.

 

[Jimdish255]

Why does it feel like the broadcast is rooting for Xavier?

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He’s literally mowing us down with the same pitch and it’s not even a strike

 

[Jimdish255]

Worth looking at that play but gonna be safe.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I thought we got him at first live but looks like a good call on the review

Top 6th, after a leadoff single, Coe comes up with a scoreless inning. 5-2 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Well done Mr. Coe… well done.

 

[Skiblets]

Never easy in baseball though. Need some amenities

Yeah, I'm guessing that might be his last inning in this game, with UConn going to the big guys out of the bullpen.

Two more runs would lessen my agita.

 

[CL82]

That doesn’t look like obstruction to me. He slid into the bag and even ducked down. It’s not like he came in high.

Bottom 6th, UConn offense leaves runners on the corners after Lynch walked a couple of batters. 5-2 UConn.

Coe still on the mound to start the 7th. I'm fine with that, don't mind staying with the hot hand, so to speak

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Coe with a 1-2-3 inning. Excellent! 5-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Huber with a leadoff double, Donlan gets hit by a pitch, so UConn gets 2 runners on with no outs. Morton with a sac bunt moves both runners up a base. Simmons with a 1 out rbi single, 6-2 UConn.

 

[Bomber36]

TC!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, a run scores on a Padilla single to shallow center field that falls in, 7-2 UConn.

Questionable by Xavier to have this reliever in this game at this point. He is on 1 day's rest after throwing ~40 pitches vs Creighton.

Problem for Xavier is that Lynch really one of their few reliable arms on the pitching staff. If they had someone else they could trust to do the job, he would be out of the game.

Got some amenities in that inning!!!

TC!

This GIF also very much applies to Coe for his performance.

 

[dbmill]

Which should help @huskymedic and everyone else with their agita for this game and tournament.

Top 8th, Coe gets the first out, Devin Kirby coming in to pitch. Looks like UConn is saving the big guys out of the bullpen for as long as possible, a just in case sort of thing.

If they had a couple more Lynches, they're a 2 seed somewhere. That's a SEC calibur offense that has lit everyone up all year (even vs a strong OOC).

 

[Bomber36]

Let’s go Kirbs!

Kirby with a scoreless stint in the top of the 8th, 7-2 UConn.

Xavier also plays in a bandbox of a ballpark, but no question that they can sure can hit the ball and hit it hard. They are certainly a team to watch in the future in the Big East.

Bottom 8th, Lynch finally comes out of the game for Xavier.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Coe and Kirby have been lights out. Who does Kirby remind you of? Look, body and number. An old Mets pitcher from the 80"s?

I’m sure Freescooter would disagree.
