If you wear contacts and play sports wouldn't make sense to have a minimum of 2 set back-up?
Seems very strange - no eye glasses?
Has no one thought of this?

Very weird, as someone who wears contacts this seems like a no brainer. Also, why couldn’t he go to a TX eye doctor today and get another box? Or a set of trials to get him through the day?

I would imagine C-Wink is @ First..

I would imagine your are right about Chris Winkel.

Looks Chris Brown might be gaining the upper hand at the 3B spot over David Langer. We'll see how that goes. That's fine with me, as Brown has youth on his side (sort of a silly thing to say about college players who are only a few years apart in age).

Not really surprised at Kenny Haus starting. I would expect it to be a bullpen day featuring the guys from the back end of the bullpen. I would expect Randy Polonia, Andrew Marrero, and Caleb Wurster to follow in some sort of order. Not sure who else would be available other than perhaps Kenny Campbell.

Texas Tech is up to #7 in both Baseball America Top 25 and D1 Poll.

 

[Skiblets]

Two center fielders and no first baseman. Interesting strategy Cotton!!!

 

[huskymedic]

Fixed...

Top 1st, UConn goes down quickly in order.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, an infield single and a hit by pitch (surprise!) put two Red Raiders on base. Haus strands the runners for a scoreless inning. First time in 9 innings that UConn pitchers have had a scoreless inning against Texas Tech.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, a Kyler Fedko single followed by two hit by pitches (might be contagious) loads the bases with no out. Devenney walks to make it 1-0 with no out. Chris Winkel sac fly makes it 2-0.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Texas Tech with a one out solo homer to make it 2-1. Haus with 3 strikeouts in 2 innings of work.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, scoreless inning for the UConn bats despite a couple of singles by the Fedko's.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 2nd, Texas Tech with a one out solo homer to make it 2-1.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Haus with a 1-2-3 inning with the aide of a nice defensive play by Kyler Fedko. 2-1 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Nice to know there is some life out there.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Stock with a leadoff double, but is stranded.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Haus gets the first two batters. He has thrown somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pitches this weekend, so Randy Polonia is coming in to pitch.

 

[huskymedic]

Nice job by Haus...

 

[dbmill]

Polonia with a strikeout for the third out of the 4th inning. UConn up 2-1.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, David Langer pinch hits for Pat Winkel, Chris Jones says Pat has a hamstring problem, so add him to the injury list. Langer walks with 2 outs. Kyler Fedko with a single (his third hit of the day) to put runners on the corners.

I almost choked when I heard that... good thing no mid-week games on tap.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good effort so far but we are stranding everyone

 

[dbmill]

Two out rallies are a tough gambit. UConn loads the bases with two out, but nothing comes of it. On to the bottom of the 5th.

Yup...
