If we sweep Butler, as we should, Creighton has to go 6-0 to beat us and 5-1 to tie us. They would get the top seed if we tie, but we would still be co-champions. So sweep Butler and see where we are. God knows our bullpen can benefit from having four days off before we see Butler. And then a bullpen game against N’eastern should mean Cooke, Finn, Shaw and Afthim and not the collection of random arms off the street who have been getting weekday starts.

Afthim had to work this weekend but the rest were minimal to none. Good time of year to get a little rest. Collectively they will be needed repeatedly.

Peters is coming on as a possibility to get innings.

As is Alejandro. But I would trust neither of them against Northeastern yet, and would be focused on using the bullpen this weekend, if at all possible, to be ready to only use those arms against the other Huskies.

I am thinking BET and hopefully NCAA when you need more than 7 pitchers to win a tournament and or regional.

-> BIG EAST Player of the Week
Sam Biller, UConn, Gr., OF (Los Angeles, Calif.) - Biller was the centerpiece of a UConn offense that broke out with 82 runs scored in a 4-1 week, batting 12-for-19 (.632) with four walks. The outfielder registered at least two hits in all five outings, in addition to adding at least one run and one RBI in every contest. Overall, he capped the week with 10 runs scored, 17 RBI and five home runs, in addition to hitting a quartet of doubles. Biller’s best performance of the week included a 4-for-5 outing in the series opener against Villanova, smacking out of the park and collecting six RBI. Defensively, the graduate senior was a perfect 13-for-13 in put outs. Biller is riding an 11-game hit streak, amassing 29 RBI, 19 runs and eight home runs over the stretch.<-

UConn is now in finals week, so UConn baseball does not have any games for 4 days after their last one on Sunday. When games resume, UConn baseball has 7 games scheduled over a 9 day period. That is going from one extreme to the other.
 
I have mentioned before I started following UConn baseball on a more consistent basis starting with the 2010 season, although I will mention that I had listened to some games that were on WHUS radio over the previous several years as well.

Anyway, since I started really following UConn baseball, they have made the NCAA Tournament 10 times since and including the 2010 season, plus now having being in the NCAA Tournament 6 seasons in a row. With the way this season has been going recently with UConn winning so many games of late, it is looking like UConn baseball has a good chance of extending this streak this season as well.
 
One thing to think about as the pitchers enjoy four days of rest. This is the week to get your rotation in place for the post-season as this week’s series doesn’t start until Friday, while Maine starts on a Thursday. Should we be moving Shaw into the position as the game 2 starter, swapping slots with Ellison?

I'd like to move West to #2 and Tommy,Shaw or Cooke, you pick, to 3.

I can't see moving Ellison out of the 3 slot. As mediocre as he has been, there has at least been some consistency. I think you have Cooke penned in to start a game 4, if you have one, but you don't hesitate to use him for one or two innings in game 1. As I keep saying, a game 4 (much less a game 5) will be a total crapshoot relying on guys that you absolutely can't count on to give you an inning without being skinned alive, but it is what it is.

Keep hitting. Keep scoring runs. And yeah, you have to move Shaw ahead of Ellison, and I think the time to do it is this weekend.
 
I'm inclined to think at this point that the coaching staff will keep the weekend starting pitchers in the same order as it has been, but we'll see what happens. Of course, injuries are always an influence as well, especially with all the injuries big and small that have happened with UConn this season.
