When he hints at lineup changes he usually doesn’t disappoint so based on that I would expect to see some different faces out there today. Small park and hitter friendly hopefully we can take advantage of that today and get our pitching more support…

I was annoyed Penders put out the same 9 as Tampa… TC got picked off twice which should’ve had him out of the lineup imo and Kron’s bat doesn’t seem ready yet. I would like to see Shpur get a chance in Center and maybe Malcom as a bat as well. But, other than that they played very well in the first half of the game and terrible in the second half, need to clean that up and get these 2 wins and take the weekend.

Did Penders read this on here last night?? Lol.

Righty heavy lineup against a LHP makes sense. Kinda needed a change of pace in the lineup anyway

Yeah, when I saw the changes to the lineup, I immediately figured that they must be facing a lefty starting pitcher today.

Simmons has been solid historically, especially 2022. He has been an on-base machine when good and takes deep ABs. His slow start is unfortunate. I hope he finds it.

Still, Simmons has contributed offensively at times in the past, but his main value is his defense in the outfield. That is why I was a bit surprised when he started at D.H. the first 4 games. I'm thinking the coaching staff wanted to give both Simmons and Kron some significant time in the lineup for the first several games.
 
Bottom 1st, Cal with a 1 out 2 run homer off of Cooke. 2-0 Cal going to the top of the 2nd inning.
 
Cal‘s fielding is on point so far. Stolen a couple of hits from us.
 
Top 2nd, Morton with a 1 out single, but he is picked off trying to steal 2B for the 2nd out. Scoreless inning for the UConn offense. 2-0 Cal.
 
Bottom 2nd, 2 errors by Cooke put a runner at 3B with 1 out, followed by a walk to put runners on the corners. A 1 out double drives in a run. 3-0 Cal, a walk loads the bases with 1 out. A grand slam makes it 7-0 Cal.

After walking the next hitter, Cooke comes out of the game. Ben Schild takes the mound with 1 out and a runner at 1B.
