I caught a ration of abuse here at work for this loss. I guess rightfully so given the horrendous score, and the fact that I was probably an obnox during our tourney runs in March and early April!

 

[dbmill]

Well at least we have someone else to blame besides @dbmill

We were able to listen to the game a little during a lunch break at the festival, pretty horrible.

UConn will gettin tomorrow. Let’s go boys you got this.

 

[Vowelguy]

Rookie mistake -- they tired themselves out with all that running around the bases. They're toast now.

 

[huskymedic]

Hadn’t seen a capture of this angle tbe HBP. Body mechanics:

Tough day. It’s still only one loss, they just don’t have any room for error now. Get out of the heat forget it and hopefully catch FSU enjoying this win too much tonight and steal a win tomorrow.

Only one loss? You only get one in a super regional.

I wish I was on a plane this afternoon.

The only good thing I can say is the game didn’t interfere with my being productive at work

 

[ATLDYKA]

Is anybody on this board at the game? Appears to be many empty seats.

I was there today. Stands were full in the beginning, but with the lopsided score and very hot weather a lot of folks cleared out early.

 

[Alum86]

On the flagship and an egg laying if ever there was one. Win tomorrow 3-2 and we’ll laugh.

 

[Jimdish255]

It's an L.
They were a buzzsaw today.
The bats were juiced.
That's why we have coaches

 

[Fairfield_1st]

In the big picture it was irrelevant, but that HBP to strikeout call was one of the worst calls ever. He barely moved. It was a 3-2 pitch, I believe, so getting hit gets him nothing he wasn't getting already from it being ball 4.

 

[Sea Goat]

We'll that was a rank embarrassment! Mr. Hyde must have had his whole family in attendance! (One of them was the home plate umpire...) After last weekend, Hyde was due for an appearance. Let's hope it was a "one nighter"!

Don’t take the bats juiced comment seriously for gods sake. I said I was joking immediately. Please, get a life. I can’t stand stuff like that, We always said that when we were getting hammered in softball. Don’t take a sarcastic comment and turn it into bs.

 

[Bomber36]

Nope, you get two..

 

[Bomber36]

So today was my first UConn game, and I think it's best for the team that it's my last, that was embarrassing

Typical fair weather fan. Many of us are here for every out of every game. Take a hike. If they win tomorrow will you be back for game 3?

Same for me and I wasn't even obnoxious. FSU fans had much to say but that was an embarrassing score.

And we could win 4-1 tomorrow. It’s baseball. Crazier things have happened.

 

[uconnfan68]

Just one those days. Bats got hot for the Noles.

Tomorrow FSU will pitch their ace.

Hot bats? 17 baserunners from walks and hbp. Strike zone disappear for us?

It was already 9-1 before the pitching really hit the fan.

That is a good way of putting it. Performance in baseball can be all over the map one game to the next.

 

[Rdkid]

They’ll come out tomorrow and play well. Their ace may be the difference, but we’ll battle. Best pitcher left in the tourney.

 

[Woof 101]

Not looking good if it is the same umpiring crew as today. Jim had to call them out time and again for incompetence, they don't like it.
He is a very respected coach and they all know it but ..... but .... wait ..... He is not coaching a southern team.
The hit in the shoulder which was way out of the strike zone then, well later everyone knows ..... They told a runner that had hit a double to go back to first base. That to be corrected. Then FSU batter steps into a pitch and is given the base.

Yes the better team won and hit the lights out of our pitching, but any momentum builder was pulled out from under UConn by calls. Not a good officiating crew for this level of ball in MHO.....

That behind us lets go dogs!!!!!!

 

[Omahabound]

Considering all the walks and hbp that we saw yesterday combined with the heat, don’t be surprised if that strike zone is extended today. Find any way to get to Arnold but flat out swinging the bats may have to do it today.

If they can force a Game 3 I think we’ll see an even and fair called game with apressure filled setting early Sunday afternoon in Tallahassee, if that happens. They have their ace going, CWS berth at stake, and they scored 24 runs yesterday. If we’re sitting here tomorrow talking about a winner take all…FSU will be on their heels. Tough feat, but a win will set that up.

 

[billybud]

Five home runs…18 hits….

 

[Omahabound]

I’m hoping FSU beats itself today either by holding Arnold out for a decisive game Sunday and it backfires or maybe their complacent. Idk but I’m looking for anything to get a game 3.

Need a strong outing from Quigs!

 

[huskymedic]

Bob Joyce just said the heat/anrtificial turf ate up the catchers yesterday (especially Garbo).

 

[greenday61892]
