UConn and 2017 AAC Baseball Tournament (Schedule Change)

[huskymedic]

USF just blew a2run 9th inning lead and lost to ECU. Probably not a good thing for us.

As long as they don't win it....

I'll be feeling more comfortable in general if UConn beats Memphis, which will get the Huskies to the weekend semifinals.

I'd put this in the 'must win' category if UConn wants to get to the Regionals. A loss here puts us on the wrong side of the bubble, IMO.

I realize Susi had a rough game yesterday, but not playing at all today. Maybe a lefty is pitching for Memphis? But if that's the case why would Winkel be starting over Gnesda.
And I see we get Hill again. Glad Feldstein is at DH so if he wants LeFevre in lineup guess Susi is out.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Boys need to bring it today.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Why are we the away team? That stinks.

Lefty pitcher for Memphis, yes. This might be the first game all season that Susi hasn't started. He may come in to hit if they pinch run for Feldstein at some point, which would seem to be a real possibility. As far as Winkel and Gnesda, Winkel has pretty much been bad offensively all season long, and Gnesda has tailed off badly the latter half of the season. However, Winkel is definitely the better defensive player at 1B, so he plays.

I have a bad feeling about this game

I'm thinking if UConn advances, they have a potential double header against Houston tomorrow. Susi may catch both games, so that may influence the decision not to play today.

 

[ATLDYKA]

ADN needs to do a better job. Their fielding graph shows Bergman catching and Gnesda playing first and Feldstein in right. 3 wrong.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts for Montgomerie in the 1st. No score yet.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Gotta like the start for Wills

Lost the coin toss second day in a row...

Winkel saved Willy on that throw.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Winkel is having a great game so far.

 

[huskymedic]

Always an adventure...

 

[ATLDYKA]

How many guys can we have thrown out at the plate this year. Runner on 3rd and no outs.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Can we replace Hill with an inanimate carbon rod? It would probably be an upgrade.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Ridiculous how bad our offense is.

 

[uconnbaseball]

To be fair, there would have been 2 outs and he would still be at 3rd if Winkel didn't go there. He was probably getting impatient.

Mid 3: Huskies come up empty in the frame. An F7, FC out at the plate and 6-3 ground out ends the threat. #UConn 0, Memphis 0

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 inning in the 3rd for Montgomerie, who picks up his 4th strikeout as well.

 

[huskymedic]

Wills dealing...
