So for the three open lineup spots:

1. Stock playing should be of zero surprise. As I said, based on what he did last year there was no amount of bad he could have been in practices that could have caused him to no be given first shot.

2. Ferrer isn't a big surprise, if he took one of the two open lineup slots that he was competing for with Maycock, Langer, Andy Hague, Peterson and the transfer backup catcher.

3. Where the heck did Brown come from? Is that the kid from Trumbull High? Did he even get a serious mention by anyone in the run up to opening day?

Chris Brown got no mentions during the fall ball interviews and tweets, and that is not a good sign. However, in the preseason coaches interviews he got a big mention on how good he was doing during the preseason. Kind of amazing how far he has come.
 
A little surprised to not see Andy Hague in the starting line up considering he got the start at Short last year. No Devenney either

Hague will get his chance during the year. But given that he couldn't hit a lick at the start of last season and the quality of UVA's starting staff, I'm not surprised by Bushling staying where he finished last year at SS.

Peterson not getting a mention in the series preview article while Chris Brown did is pretty telling in my opinion.

UVA starting 2B hails from New Milford, CT and they also have Jimmy Sullivan on their roster who’s from Wethersfield, CT
 
Gotta love the ACC Network... can’t get the game on the ESPN app but Chris Jones will bless my ears

Alright, got something going, gotta cash in with our big guns coming.

...and a double play. Damn. Runner at 3rd, 2 outs
 
Top first, Bushling stranded at 3B after Pat Winkel grounding into a double play and Kyler Fedko strikeout. No score. Jones says Abbott threw over 20 pitches in that inning.
 
Bottom 1st, Casparius has the bases loaded with one out. Strikeout for the second out.
 
.-.
Hit by pitch makes it 1-0 Virginia, still two out in the 1st with the bases loaded.
 
Benny has great stuff. Looking forward to watching him pitch this year. Both starters with elevated pitch counts.
 
I pay for ESPN+ but I can't watch this game because Xfinity doesn't carry the network.
How much blood do they want from me?

I just logged in an Xfinity worked fine.

Edit: scratch that. I can click on the game but it won't load.

Top 2nd, Reggie Crawford with a lead off single, UConn goes down in order after that. 1-0 Virginia going to the bottom of the 2nd. Abbott now at 41 pitches.
 
Scoring with runners in scoring position will be crucial if we want to win this series. Two lead off hits with nothing to show for it.

Casparius has great stuff.
