What’s the mercy rule?

10 after 7.

Wow, this isn't good. Glad I am at work for this one.

Houston up 3-1 on ECU after 3

Gee, when we get far behind we become even more impatient at the plate. Swing at everything. Gonna be a quick easy game for starter and won't need to use their bullpen again.

 

[ATLDYKA]

DR is a mess. Sure looks like we want the mercy rule and want to get out of there.

 

[huskymedic]

Blessing...

When is the next game?

 

[ATLDYKA]

Our bullpen is getting rocked. Crap show here. Hope they come ready to play for the next one.

When is the next game?

Chris Jones is speculating 0900 tomorrow...

They expect anyone beyond PJ, Wallace and Cate to be shelled. Not being shelled will be blind luck.

If the tourney is going to finish tomorrow, and we pitch Kersten and at least one of PJ or Wallace to get to a final, hard to see how we're stringing together 9 innings of pitching in a Final. Hopefully our opponent has the same problem, but this by UConn standards is a very thin staff.

Hit in face w/ a bat... let’s see how they respond next game.

Not much to say about this one that hasn’t been said. Following any game from work is not much fun, but this? In addition to Colby Dunlop having a miserable start, Thad Phillips also found his way back into the lineup and made his own negative contributions to this loss.

Jeff Kersten will no doubt get the next start. He has been shaky and prone to the homer ball in his last couple of starts against Houston and East Carolina. Kersten needs to have one of his effective starts where he is ridiculously efficient, getting ahead on the strike count, hitting his spots, and getting quick outs for at least the first half of the game.

Both games tomorrow will take place at 10 am, according to the AAC website. UConn-South Florida to play at Spectrum Field.

So we're now in a single elimination, 4 team tournament. I wonder when they are deciding if they are going to play the final tomorrow afternoon, or hold it for it's TV slot on Sunday.

Obviously, the way all 4 teams decide who pitches how much is depending upon knowing that.

 

[HawkHusky]

Hopefully everyone pressed the Reset button after that ****show.

Kersten on the mound and Susi behind home-plate will determine the Huskies' fate tomorrow.

 

[dbmill]

All four teams remaining in the AAC tournament will get invites into the NCAA tourney. The only real question, aside from who becomes the tournament champ, is whether or not East Carolina, UConn, or possibly even South Florida get to host an NCAA regional.

 

[scotty0330]

Gonna have to be a team effort tomorrow. Kersten and maybe even CJ might have to give them a couple to bridge to Wallace and PJ.

I’d feel better if someone anonymously and strategically got a papaya into the UConn dugout before the game!!!

 

[ScottBonz]

At least we get the non chain link field.

Any word on the championship being played tomorrow as well?

 

[dbmill]

This morning UConn currently has an RPI of 19, South Florida is at 17. East Carolina at 13. It is probably safe to say that the winner of the UConn-South Florida game will stay in the hunt for an NCAA host seed.
