Men UConn & 2025 Big East Baseball Tourney @Prasco Park, Mason Ohio (5/21>5/24). Gm5 v. CU @5p on FS1&FS2. Audio>MIXLR, Fox Sports 97.9/Varsity App

Sheesh I hope not. 9.00 ERA with almost a walk per inning. Abbedessa has had his challenges too but better than Peters who never really put it together this year.

I think Jude will get the start but if you look at the last 4 or 5 outings I’d give Peters the edge.

… and the answer is:



Connor Lane is unavailable this weekend (injured)

Fascinating. He got crushed by Creighton during the regular season. 3D chess or...

Looks like a bullpen game with Hutchinson starting, hardly a surprise.

So what I want from Hutchinson is 2 innings and / runs. Hardly a greedy ask. But outside of our 7 arms you can’t count on anything.

Root who has been hot for McAlister. Lane presumably still hurt. I hope Garbo is ready to catch 18 if need be

 

[dbmill]

Figure Hutchinson will stay on the mound as long as he is effective, but as mentioned before I expect to see plenty of UConn bullpen tonight.

This game is Hutchinson's 1st career start with UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, the UConn offense goes down in order with 2 strikeouts. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, after a 1 out double followed by a hit by pitch, Hutchinson has a scoreless inning that ends with a double play. No score.

Cooke was warming up in the bullpen.

 

[CL82]

Nice DP bails us out with two runners in scoring position.

[CL82]

Wendt in command so far.

Bottom 2nd, Hutchinson gives up a 1 out walk, a double play ends the inning. No score.

 

[CL82]

Another DP to end the inning and we got the two innings we needed from Hutchinson with no score. Let's see if we can keep it going.

Don’t get greedy with Hutch. He did his job; don’t play with fire for a 3 inning stint.

 

[Rdkid]

Ed Servais retiring. Mark Kingston, former South Carolina/USF coach is bench coach/HC in-waiting. Interesting. I like Creighton’s AD, they get the job done.

They have a good history/program. Need them to stay relevant (plus you get to play @ Schwab every other year).

Top 3rd, Root gets a leadoff walk. Padilla gets on 1B on a fielders choice ground out for the 1st out. Padilla moves to 2B on a wild pitch. With 1 out Garbowski gets hit by a pitch followed by a walk by Rispoli to load the bases. No runs come in as the UConn offense picks up 2 strikeouts to end the inning. No score.

 

[CL82]

Ugh stranded three but at least we got the pitch count up on Wendt.

I disagree. Start the inning with Hutch, have a replacement ready, but until it starts looking like trouble keep Hutch in.

Those opportunities will be rare. Take advantage, or warm up the bus.

Bottom 3rd, Hutchinson gives up a leadoff solo homer, 1-0 Creighton.

Hutchinson comes out of the game, Cooke takes the mound.
