UConn and the 2018 AAC Baseball Tournament (Updated ~ Check Schedule Change for UConn games)

[HawkHusky]

After a Kersten 1-2-3? Not sure I like that.

 

[lavuuk153]

And another solo shot.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau serves up a 1 out homer to make it 2-1 USF.

 

[ATLDYKA]

So much for that change.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Wish I could have bet my life on giving up runs this inning after they mentioned our bullpen was "pretty good"

 

[lavuuk153]

Nice double play to end the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bats gotta produce with RISP. USF will likely score a few more (at least).

I suspect that next season Kersten will be in long relief, or possibly a midweek starter. I don't think the coaching staff thinks Kersten has the stuff to go long against good power hitting teams, especially after what Houston and East Carolina did with him the last couple of weeks.

 

[HawkHusky]

ECU up 9-1. Must be nice to be angina-free.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Another lead off walk. Let’s make something happen

Who becomes the 3rd weekend starter? Do we have someone coming in that can fill that role?

After the walk in the bottom of the 5th, a pitching change for USF.

 

[HawkHusky]

Please be smart and patient, Feldstein.

 

[UConNick]

Susi also walks, this time against the new USF pitcher. Now Feldstein up 3-0. Both of them seem to be seeing the curve really well from this guy, just spitting on it.

Edit: and isaac also walks, based loaded no outs!

 

[HawkHusky]

Beautiful.

Assuming Mike Burrows doesn't go pro, he would seem to be the big candidate. Penders loves to get highly regarded freshmen into the starting rotation pretty quickly (Mason Feole, Anthony Kay, Tim Cate are all prime examples). Also, don't count out Colby Dunlop when he becomes a sophomore. If he develops and becomes more consistent, he could be quite good.

 

[UConNick]

New pitcher coming in for the Bulls. Really need Troy to stay clutch here.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Need to do more than a double play to get a run in this time

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, bases loaded, no out, and another pitching change for USF.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Need a big inning. Be patient.

 

[HawkHusky]

Anything less than 2 runs this inning would be incredibly disappointing/frustrating.

[HawkHusky]

Swinging at a ball next to your head is never a good choice.

 

[ATLDYKA]

We are a strike out machine.

 

[UConn4ever]

This is unbelievable
