Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4224007, member: 2504"] UConn baseball has not had any midweek games the first two weeks of the season. They have their first midweek game scheduled next Tuesday against Hartford, so that will provide a change to the progression of the season. The most interesting thing will be to see who will get the midweek starts in the coming weeks. I would think that someone who gets midweek starts in March could possibly become a weekend starter in April when the Big East Conference games start up. It will be interesting to see who gets the midweek start. One would think that starting a game in the midweek would probably limit weekend appearances, especially if the pitcher is able to go several innings in their midweek start. UConn has a number of midweek games coming up that could very well be tougher than their Big East weekend games. At this point I would like to see Ian Cooke get a chance to show what he can do in a starting pitching role. Still, the general rule in the past has been that a team wants its best pitchers available to pitch in weekend conference games. Of course, if Cooke doesn't move into the weekend starting rotation in April for Big East games, he could very well end up back in the bullpen where he could play a very big role. [/QUOTE]
