Throw strikes, win games


Just remember, throwing strikes, especially in the college game, is a lot easier said than done. We've certainly seen that in following UConn baseball over the years. Which is why you have to value so highly what the UConn pitchers have been able to do so far this season in terms of their control and throwing strikes. It just doesn't happen like this in the college game all that often.

It’s outstanding what this pitching staff has been able to do this year. Josh MacDonald has really had them coming out throwing with a lot of confidence and it’s been amazing to see all the pitchers have a ton of success.
 
One thing I noticed and granted I have not been able to watch a ton of innings so it may just be an anomaly. They all seem to work very quickly. This is refreshing particularly considering they grew up watching major leaguers and all of the slow pitching pace that permeates that game.
 
Breaking into the neighborhood:




-> Connecticut also made its season debut in the rankings, entering at No. 25 after improving to 5-2 on its two-week West Coast road trip. The Huskies are 14-3 despite playing all but one of their games in either Florida or California, against quality competition. <-

This is a great listen, about a half hour before the first game against URI. Some of the highlights were Reggie talking about his recovery and Erik Stock calling UConn, “Last Chance UConn” with all the transfers and new guys on the team. Penders is always a great listen

Guessing Hector Alejandro will get the start against Central tomorrow, perhaps Cole Chudoba for the game on Wednesday. Looking like the coaching staff wants to keep Ian Cooke available for the weekend Big East games, I can certainly understand that logic. Anyway, I would think there will be plenty of bullpen activity for UConn over the next 2 games.

UConn still getting some notice in a number of polls, certainly good to see. Like I've said before, college baseball polls can really be all over the map, making noise in some, barely registering on others.
