Once again, I’m puzzled that you can be a recruited D1 pitcher for an upper tier program and not throw your fastball for a strike. Or that you are a recruited D1 pitcher for an upper tier program and not be developed over months and years in the program to throw strikes.

 

[Rdkid]

What are most of the 20 pitchers on the roster doing all day?

 

[Rdkid]

and I’m not even complaining about a lack of a second pitch for most of these kids. Or a lack of a third for a kid like Cooke.

Not sure what is going on is all.

Rant complete. Thanks for listening.

Per JP:
“afraid to compete from the pitcher’s mound”
“timid”
Against FAU and these other okay teams so far.
Oof.

Starters in 5 games have pitched 12 innings TOTAL. Give Pudvar a start and start stretching out some of the other bullpen guys. Afthim, Shaw, Abbadessa. Praying Ellisen steps up tomorrow and turns this around.

Win, lose, or draw ……..aluminum bats suck! Do we really want football scores?

I agree but as you know it will never change due to higher costs of wooden bats.

I love the sound of a wooden bat hit compared to the ping of aluminum.

One inning @ a time Tommy…

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, Ellisen hits the 1st batter with his 1st pitch. With 1 out the runner steals 2B. Ellisen ends up having a scoreless inning leaving the runner on base. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after a leadoff infield single by Daniels followed by a double play. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Ellisen has a 1-2-3 inning, no score. Ellisen has 2 strikeouts so far, and has thrown 26 pitches.

Looking like a quick game so far, especially when compared to the 2 other games of this series.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Padilla with a leadoff single, he is thrown out trying to advance to 2B on that play. UConn gets 2 runners on base with 2 outs, but they are stranded. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Ellisen has a scoreless inning after a 2 out walk and a single. No score.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 3rd, Ellisen has a scoreless inning after a 2 out walk and a single. No score.

51 pitches thru 3. 1BB. Keeping ‘em in it.

Top 4th, UConn offense goes down in order. No score.

Top 5th, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning after a 1 out single by Padilla, his 2nd hit of the game. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, with no outs, FAU loads the bases with 2 singles and a walk off of Ellisen.

Ellisen comes out of the game, he threw 81 pitches in this game. Van Emon takes the mound.

A sac fly for the 1st out brings in a run. 1-0 FAU.

Van Emon comes out of the game after facing a lefty hitter. Greg Shaw takes the mound.

Minnick fumbled the grounder that should have started DP on first two batters IMO. My live view at the game
