I agree that Hyde is doing a great job. No way he is catching 3 (or 4) days in a row unless Garbo isn’t 100%.

Idk why he couldn’t catch tonight/tomorrow if desired or needed. Outside of endurance being an issue, considering Hyde hasn’t been asked to catch 3-4 games in row, do u think the drop off has been that considerable? Over the course of a season or longer stretch is different…I say let Hyde empty the tank and ride that good karma. Imo Baseball is unlike any sport when it comes to superstition.

Garbo certainly back starting if they reach the Super Regional would be reasonable.
 
Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who provided the inning updates and video’s of the key plays.
. As an old timer down in North Carolina I very much appreciate it. Got up this morning and the first thing I did was go to the-boneyard and read the inning by inning recap of the game. Thanks

I’m all for belief in sport. I’m guessing that belief looks like something else in their locker room. Catching is strength of the program, has been for eons. Hence why Hyde has delivered. He hasn’t caught back-to-back in forever, nevermind 3 in a row. Mac calls the pitches. Garbo is a better bat and a fine receiver/framer/thrower. He’s the #1 catcher for a reason.

All the late games are on espn+. ESPN has Sunday night MLB and ESPN2 has NCAA softball.

Incorrect. My DirectTV Stream is showing 9 pm games "TBA" on ESPN 2 & ESPNU
 
Theres gotta be a way to find a free stream im not paying for ESPN plus. I know it’s such a crime.

I did enjoy listening to the game on the radio just using my imagination of the game like our grandfathers past time.

Stetson UCF FSU Duke Oklahoma (eliminate 2 of these soon) and that’s what stands in the way of a berth to the CWS. It doesn’t seem as daunting when looking at it. Difficult but if somebody said these are the 5 teams that will decide a CWS app for Uconn, I’d take it.
 
Still a lot left to do tonight and maybe even tomorrow but either way they got a great Draw and are making the most of it to date. Hope it continues.
 
Not sure what was up with Garbo. Tough to believe that he would play if he was in bed for 2 days.

Another option is one can pay $10.99 for one month of ESPN+ (lots of content on there), get all the games and cancel the subscription thereafter. I did that 2 years ago. Now I have as part of bundle.
I’ll also add I don’t like ESPN but ESPN+ is the best value for $ that they offer.

Hulu Live includes ESPN+ and Disney

Hey, I'm kind of an old timer in Greensboro. I did listen to game via internet (Alexa) on Fox Spots Radio 97.9

He is recovering from flu symptoms. Garbo was at the game yesterday, Chris Jones said he was available to pinch hit last night, and he might be available to start today.

OU Baseball twitter/x posted the pic of the sky below. Not sure if medic posted. Nice pic. OU/Duke is delayed.

Sure you care you keep posting about it.

Not sure why you give a toss about what ESPN thinks of UConn. Who cares.
Expand ...
No my "honestly I don't care" was "I don't care what conflicts they have they haven't done enough to get the benefit of the doubt that they did anything they could at all to put it on, say, ESPNU"
 
Does anyone know if tonight we're assigned being home team or if we can choose? They won't have the same home and road for back to back games, I personally would prefer holding it in my back pocket for a winner take all game, being happy that we didn't need to use it.
 
The weather in Norman concerns me. It would su*k (and be unfair) to have to possibly play 2 tomorrow, with the opponent getting some extra rest. The NCAA has "lightning strike" rules in place and I've spent time in Oklahoma, the weather can be quite wacky during twister season

If the flu was that bad hold him off as a starter. We're getting what we need for now. JMO

Looks pretty tricky weather wise until about 5pm there. Again at 10pm. Worst case they drag us out for 3 innings then go on hold for hours. It may be more likely a push to tomorrow after the prelim. Think about the fact that they've been hanging around there all day so it's not such a bad deal for us. But the weather tomorrow looks like a roll of the dice all day long.

So if I'm reading this right, we'll be the home team in game 6 if Oklahoma holds on to their current lead (point #1, Oklahoma 2 home games vs UConn's 1), but we'll be the road team in game 6 if Duke comes back (point #2, Duke and UConn tied with 1 home game each, Duke gets home designation with 2 visitor games vs. UConn's 1)?

You bring up a really interesting decision Penders is facing assuming Garbo is healthy. Mojo or analytics? Surprised I'm typing this but I'm ok with both options. Brain says Garbo, heart says Hyde.
Expand ...
He has had offers from Notre Dame, Michigan and many others but this dog bleeds UConn blue. I am all in on In Penders We Trust. ;)
 
The UConn game is scheduled to start 55 minutes after the end of the Duke game, is there a time that this game will not start today?
