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

[dbmill]

Dandeneau in to start the bottom of the 6th. Tim Cate warming up!!!

 

[ATLDYKA]

CJ needs to come out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bring. In. Cate. Now.

 

[dbmill]

CJ needs to come out.

Chris Jones agrees, but the Huskies have pretty much run out of arms.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Tim Cate being a starter takes longer to warm up.

Sac fly scores a run for ECU to make it 4-2.

 

[lavuuk153]

Cate coming in.

 

[dbmill]

With 2 out, Tim Cate coming in. He talked his way into the game.

 

[ATLDYKA]

With 2 lefties coming up why would you not bring in Cate a batter earlier?

 

[4in16]

That was a nice throw by toppa on that sac fly.

Remember, Cate wasn't supposed to be available. Apparently during the 6th inning he had a big discussion with the coaches talking himself into the game. That's according to Chris Jones. Cate takes longer to warm up because he is normally a starter, so now he is in.

[dbmill]

Cate puts two runners on, but gets out of the 6th inning with no more runs for ECU. 4-2 ECU.

 

[lavuuk153]

Cate looked shaky but gets out of the inning.

 

[4in16]

Strike zone seems to be inconsistent.

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down in order in the top of the 7th.

 

[lavuuk153]

UConn goes down easy in the 7th.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Feldstein is a mess.

 

[HawkHusky]

Frustrating game today. Hopefully some late inning magic again.

 

[dbmill]

Joe Simeone in to pitch for the bottom of the 7th.

 

[Baseballguy]

Feldstein is a disaster. At what point will the coaches make a change

 

[bleeny72]

So now that pitch gets called...

 

[dbmill]

Feldstein is a disaster. At what point will the coaches make a change

You know the answer to that one. Feldstein helped get UConn here, he'll stay in the lineup until hopefully he works out of it.

Feldstein is a disaster. At what point will the coaches make a change

Hopefully there is something mechanical, maybe 6 days off will get him going.

 

[Baseballguy]

You know the answer to that one. Feldstein helped get UConn here, he'll stay in the lineup until hopefully he works out of it.

I meant moving him down the lineup. With Prato, Woody, and Troy hitting well, there’s plenty of lineup variations that should work and allow him to move down the lineup

 

[HawkHusky]

Penders and staff are at least 50% responsible for Feldstein's troubles at the plate. Do they not work on situational hitting? How about moving him in the line-up to see if that helps any?

 

[dbmill]

I meant moving him down the lineup. With Prato, Woody, and Troy hitting well, there’s plenty of lineup variations that should work and allow him to move down the lineup

I agree with that, moving him down in the lineup. Thought you meant sitting him.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Our pitching has been about as good as anyone could have expected considering the # of people unavailable.

 

[BugsyCT]

Nice throw there.

 

[dbmill]

Simeone allows a 2 out walk, but then Susi throws out a base stealer to end the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Pitching and defense has done really well today.
