UConn @ Top 15 ECU (Thur. 4/18 @6:30p, *Sat. 4/20 Double Header> Game 2 starting @ 9a followed by Game 3*)

Bottom 3rd, 3 run homer for ECU's Brickhouse gives ECU a 3-2 lead. 10th homer of the year for Brickhouse.
 
Welp... didn’t think we’d shut Brickhouse out all weekend.

Answering back next inning would be nice.

ECU just a better team unfortunately.

This is what I was worried about with Kersten facing ECU. Against a really good lineup, he can get rocked. Pitching to contact can only take you so far.
 
I think we left our offense down in Greenville when I was there. Here, I am giving it back. Can we please get something going?
 
Good lord we can't have anything nice this series. Brickhouse going nuclear.

We have solid bats at the top of the lineup but nothing like Packard or Brickhouse.

We have solid bats at the top of the lineup, but it really drops off quickly after Christian Fedko's spot. Offense really gets in trouble if the top bats slump a little, as the bottom of the order doesn't generally make up for it. Between that and not having weekend starting pitching that is not nearly as strong in other recent seasons, it is the two big problems on this team. Kersten is not going to get any better. As for Jimmy Wang, we have to hope with his youth and inexperience that he grows as his career goes along.

My only issue with Jimmy is the lack of length he gives us. He has certainly been solid.

I wish we had this bullpen in the Springer era :(

One thing with Wang and the weekday starters, Penders has been very quick to go use his deep bullpen rather than give them a chance to go longer in games. With the deep bullpen I can understand why, but I think you are better served having Wang and Dunlop getting used to going deeper into games, especially on those days when they are pitching well.
