UConn @ UVA Davenport Field (3/20/19 @ 4p on ACC Network Extra )

[kris1]

I had game on computer and muted due to a being on conference call - any mention of why Pat Winkle is out of the line-up?

I didn’t hear them mention anything. I’m guessing just a day off with a big weekend series coming up. I saw him standing right next to the coaching staff in the dugout.

UVA to bullpen. Toppa up w/ 2-0 count.

Toppa works a walk. Bases loaded w/ Huskies - no outs.

3rd inning. Bases loaded, no out, and Toppa gets picked off for the first out. Christian Fedko walks to reload the bases.

 

[kris1]

That’s bad baseball

Heard it on the way home from work. Pat Winkel sitting out with a hip flexor injury, they hope he will be available this weekend against Houston. Chris Jones did say he is available to pinch hit.

 

[dbmill]

Kyler Fedko grounds into a double play to end the inning with no runs scored for UConn. 3-0 Huskies.

 

[Guapo]

Ugh

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hope that doesn't change the complextion of the game.

 

[dbmill]

Now I hope Dunlop can be effective in a start during innings when I'm not sitting in a car.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Devastating...cannot happen. Given 4 free bases and cannot score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Dunlop hits the lead off batter on a 3-2 count, then throws a double play ball. Gets the next batter on another ground out. Nice inning Colby, nice to know I can stay out of the car!

It’s funny the season is barely old and Dunlop like Prato before him forgot to pack his road grey jersey. What a difference not having an equipment manager to worry about the details

It seems every road trip someone on UConn is forgetting to bring a uniform. My wife is always commenting on it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offensive momentum is busted. Dunlop has pitched great so far, hopefully he can keep it going.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Dunlop gives up a 2 out solo homer to make it 3-1. First hit off of him.

Damn streaming way behind game...

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop gets the next hitter to end the inning. Dunlop at 45 pitches. Even with the homer, no question that Dunlop will be getting another start next week. He's done just fine.

 

[dbmill]

One thing Chris Jones said during my car ride home is that Dunlop did not have his usual velocity or command of his non fastball pitches during his first two starts. Jones said that the velocity is back with this start.

I assume they're going to try to get a 5th out of him. That would allow the 4 relievers the manager really trusts (Wurster, KJ, CJ and Wally) to get in one inning each, not keeping them out of Friday.

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down 1-2-3 for the second straight inning. Going to the bottom of the 5th, and yes, Dunlop is on the mound. 3-1 UConn.

Agree, get 5 from Dunlop, then I would go Johnson 6th, Wurster 7th, CJ 8th and hopefully Wallace to close it out.

Yup.

 

[dbmill]

Scoreless inning for Dunlop in the 5th, allowing a two out single. 3-1 UConn. 58 pitches for Dunlop, very efficient.

 

[huskymedic]

Well done Mr. Dunlop...

 

[businesslawyer]

Wow. 5 innings, 2 hits, 0 walks. Repeat, 0 walks.

And while this is a weekday start, this isn't a northeastern weekday opponent. Hopefully this is who the guy really is from here on out.
