2 out in the 6th, 2 runners on against Feole, Jeff Kersten coming in to pitch.

This makes no sense. Mason threw 20 pitches he didn’t need to, 115 total. Now Kersten who is expected to be the Monday starter is in. You’re up 12 runs. Throw a freshman or expected low usage sophomore. Even if the give up 4-5 runs in 3 innings you’re up by 7-8 runs. This is why UConn and Penders has a stigma of overusing pitchers

I wonder if Kersten is going to stay in a relief role, with perhaps Rossomando and Dunlop getting the Monday and Tuesday starts. Still, in my mind a 12 run lead is a good time to get some other lesser used pitchers some playing time.

Haven’t been able to follow WHUS stream that much today... did Chris Jones report this?

Chris Jones hasn't been on the stream until just now, so can't answer that question. Kersten starting midweek games is just something that we have assumed up until now.

This is my assumption. It’d be bad coaching to not start the 4th best pitcher on the team (excluding PJ). The only thing that makes sense bringing Kersten in, is if Kersten will be the Tuesday starter and Ronnie is Monday

Just caught Jones saying Kersten likely Tuesday starter...
 
The Citadel picks up a run in the bottom of the 7th. Chris Jones saying this is the perfect situation to get lesser used pitchers some game time, and I agree.
 
This is the perfect opportunity to see what you have in the bullpen outside of the 3-4 guys Penders tends to use. Penders is probably using this stint with Kersten as a “bullpen” day but I think it’s a waste not to see what else is in the ‘pen
 
UConn picks up 3 more runs in the top of the 8th, making it 16-2. Rossomando coming in to pitch the bottom of the 8th. I'm now thinking Colby Dunlop pitches Monday.

Ronnie has had his issues with UConn but Colby has not shown me anything to get the nod over Ronnie. It does look like that is how it will play out though
 
What did Chris Jones say about Randy Polonia? Not back until end of March or beginning of April? Didn't quite catch it completely.
 
UConn picks up another run to make it 17-2. Joe Simeone to pitch the bottom of the 9th.
