Men UConn @ Long Beach State Dirtbags (3/16/22 @ 9p EDT on ESPN+/MIXLR)

Nice camera work! Hoo boy!

Clearly not a PAC12 production. I just thought they were having an earthquake based on the CF camera.

 

[Bomber36]

Only one really hard hit ball in the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Alejandro with 3 strikeouts in the first inning as he leaves a couple runners on base. 2-0 Long Beach going to the top of the 2nd.

Good night all.

 

[Bomber36]

This calls for a t shirt purchase. Which one?

Well, thanks to everyone’s lack of input, I bought both shirts. I have a bit of a t shirt fetish anyway.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense is really struggling right now.

The words above the graphic and right under your quoted question. That fine print will get ya every time.

Still don't see it. Your eyes must be younger than mine. By a lot.

LOL. Got it. Thanks. I saw the lineup tweet and didn't pay attention to anything above it.

Woof

 

[huskymedic]

That could have been much worse…

 

[Bomber36]

Big double play. Now we need some hitters out there.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Lucky to be only down 3. That's not impossible to come back from but with how our bats look...let's just say we might need some help with walks and errors.

 

[huskymedic]

Based on his JUCO numbers before he lost last season to surgery, I'm still hoping that as the season goes on Devon Kirby takes a key role in the bullpen.

Here ya go BL… Kirby in w/ bases loaded - two outs B3.

Nothing doing for Huskies in T4. 3-0 DirtBags

 

[Bomber36]

7 walks in 4 innings…something we had avoided in recent games.

 

[Bomber36]

Seems like this ump will not call what looks like a high strike. Maybe the angle is throwing me off.

 

[huskymedic]

Dodging bullets left and right - but Kirby gets out of the inning w/ no damage. Still 3-0 Dirtbags heading to the 5th.

Is Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaugn on the mound for us?

[huskymedic]

Huber walks w/ two outs but that’s all for the Huskies in the 5th.

 

[huskymedic]

Bunt single and a BB w/ no outs chases Kirby for Sam Favieri.

Brendan O’Donnell coming in to relieve Favieri.

The lack of experience and burn is coming to roost tonight. Also the strike zone is odd as there were several pitches that I swear were in the zone called balls. That’s certainly is not doing the kids any favors

It’s a bit small, but their guys not having any trouble with it. I think our weekend guys would be doing just fine.

 

[UConNick]

This has been a hard game to watch. Shoddy defense. Literally nonexistent offense. And ALL THE DAMN WALKS. I’ve avoided posting here during the last couple weeks as we were winning and I didn’t want to anger the mojo gods, but this is ridiculous. I suppose we were due for a clunker, but I’m putting my foot down. The bats need to get their ish together especially. Not like it’s a 10-0 game (at least, for now).

Errors and walks have been the biggest issues.

Sheeesh.
