Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 4586771, member: 2504"] Just wondering and speculating on who might be the midweek starter for UConn against UMass in the home opener tomorrow. I was thinking at first that it might be Tom Ellisen, who got a start when Stephen Quigley could not make a weekend start against Hawaii. Ellisen did appear in relief this past weekend against San Diego State, but that is nothing unusual for midweek starters. Ellisen did throw 50 or so pitches. Coach Penders has had midweek starters in the past make relief appearances on the weekends. Garrett Coe did not pitch this past weekend, so I would think he is a possibility as well to get the start. Braden Quinn has had a rough start to the season showing a big lack of control, so it is also possible UConn could start him to try to get him on track considering it is apparent the coaching staff likes his talent. These guys are all said to have been stretched out during the preseason for possible use as a starting pitcher. Of course, it could end up being a staff day as well, but we'll see what happens.
