PATTY WINK COMES UP HUGE!!

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Willis still on the mound. He had a terrific 8th inning, so no problem with that for me. Crawford is all warmed up, so if there is any trouble, he can come right in.

Willis walks the first batter, Crawford to the mound. O'Donnell takes over at 1B.

Bottom 9th, single puts runners at 1st and 2nd. Crawford gets strikeouts for the first two outs.

Boy, there were times this game where I was ready to go quit and go play with the dog. Well, now I'm going to play with our German Shepherd.

Two run moonshot and a save. Crawford is so damn special

 

[dbmill]

Coach Penders summed it up well, Bryant played better for 6.5 innings, UConn played better for the last 2.5 innings.

Crawford hasn't pitched much this season, but last year during the summer Crawford did well on the mound, but did have trouble with with control. He certainly looked sharp today. So far in 3 innings pitched this season, Crawford has 1 hit by pitch, no walks, and 8 strikeouts. I'll certainly take that. I have a suspicion that during Big East Conference weekends, the coaches are going to have to make sure that Crawford gets on the mound at least 1 time during these 4 game sets. It might be easier to get him warmed up in games they figure him to pitch if he occasionally plays as the D.H.

Any win vs Bryant is a good baseball win

 

[Woof 101]

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!

Like the Bomber tag, my wife's nick name in her younger days. My and a guests first game at the new park, what an opener for us. Will be returning for many more.

Crawford is pitching like he may be the best arm they have in the bullpen. Putting aside how they best develop him for a future pro career, they do need to figure out how they get him on the mound more consistently in big moments.

One idea. Start him for a set one or two innings, where you warm him up before the game. Start C Wink at first, Kyler in Center and Morton in right as the “pitcher” not in the lineup. When Reggie is done, the “starter” comes in to Morton’s slot, and everyone slides to their normal defensive positions.
