Shpur and Lane have really come on the last few weeks. Garbo's injury has affected him to the point where the future is now with Lane. Looks like Tirado is being redshirted.

Padilla has more errors this year than I can remember the last few years combined. Pitching wise, we don't have the depth for a regional at this point. Hopefully enough for the Big East tournament. Let's hope someone amongst Abedessa, Hutchinson, Van Emon and one more can get it together toward the business end of the Big East season the way Finn has turned it around. If we can get one or more of those guys rolling, I like our chances down the stretch and the BET.
 
Cooke's underlying numbers and k:bb ratio indicate that better times could be ahead for him.

The issue now is that even to win the BET, we almost certainly need to win it in 3 games. If it takes 5, no way we have the pitching to do that.
 
Good read by Dom:



-> McCarver, who died two years ago, didn’t last 22 years as a major league catcher, or become the preferred backstop for Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton, by worrying about bumps, bruises or bad breaks. He then warmed our living rooms with all his stories and ideals over decades as a broadcaster, a baseball lifer unforgettable for his grit and joie de vivre.

And it lives on this spring as his grandson completes his college baseball career at UConn, and Tim McCarver would’ve certainly drawled a few memorable lines after watching Beau race around the bases for an inside-the-park home run Tuesday night at Dunkin’ Park, an igniting moment in the Huskies’ 12-2 victory over UMass.<-

-> On a night former coach Andy Baylock was honored with the UConn Club’s rarely-presented Crystal Award for his 60-plus years of contribution to the university’s athletic programs, the Huskies won their ninth in a row. After a brutal start to the season on the long February and March road trips against top-level competition, and despite a slew of injuries, the Huskies have put their season back together up north and played their way back into Big East and NCAA Tournament contention. <-

Also in this article, it says that Tyler Minick did not play in recent games due to a wrist injury.
 
Minick looks to be on pace to become one of our highest drafted players ever next year if he continues this trajectory

He needs to work on his fielding otherwise his draft stock will take a big hit.

I don’t think it will sink him. He has the tools to project into a good defensive player and a bat that can carry him regardless. It would certainly help his stock to show some better defensive execution but he’s looking like a high draft pick either way

Seems to me that a goodly number of Minick's fielding problems have happened when he is playing 1B. It seems to me he is new at playing at that position, at least with UConn.

Agree. Especially for a non-pitcher. I envision him in the outfield as a pro. He runs well and has a good arm. The power is legit. Other than Huber at USC a few years back I've never seen a ball hit as hard in person as Tyler hits them.
 
44 runs on 59 hits this weekend. Team batting average is over .300 now. Which hitter do you give the Big East player of the week too???

BIG EAST Player of the Week
Ryan Daniels, UConn, Jr., INF (Meriden, Conn.)

Daniels was lights out during a 5-0 week for the Huskies, as UConn extended its win streak to 13 games. The junior collected 11 RBI and scored 10 runs with a trio of doubles and four home runs. Batting 10-for-21, Daniels also earned five walks and stole four bases. In 18 fielding chances defensively, he had six putouts and 11 assists to field .944.

BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll
Charlie West, UConn, So., LHP
West won his fourth straight game on the mound, pitching 6.0 innings in a 14-3 win over St. John’s. The sophomore stuck out six batters and finished with a 1.50 ERA with two hits allowed.
 
Connecticut: You were playing with fire if you wrote off the Huskies from postseason contention earlier this season when they were struggling. In not-so-shocking news, Jim Penders has UConn playing exceptionally well heading down the stretch. UConn did a clean sweep of St. John’s in Big East action over the weekend and climbed nine spots in the RPI as a result to 39. With 15 wins vs. Q1/Q1, a solid RPI for a northern school and a strong 11-4 Big East record, I’d have UConn comfortably in today.
 


-> “We took our lumps early, but that really tough schedule prepared us for April,” Penders said. “It was really grueling, a very hard slog through the first 25-30 games. We had eight straight weekends on the road which was something we had never done. It was hard on the bodies and minds, but one thing I had never really anticipated was how much when we are away we don’t get the same reps.

“The guys don’t have access to the indoor cages, our field and the weight room. Getting back home for the bulk of the week anyway, even when we make Big East trips it is a little bit easier with bus trips, not flights. We had six (flights) we had to make with scheduled trips and then the Big East didn’t do us any favors by putting us on two flights the first two conference weekends to make the road trip eight weeks.” <-
