Men UConn v. Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ Elliot Ballpark (Tuesday 4/29/25 @5:05p. Game on CBSSN and Mixlr

Peters is showing progress. Bad outing from Shaw but I would rather see that in a midweek game than a Big East game, a BET game or even an NCAA game. I was actually more perturbed by the hitting after going down 13 -9. We got away from what got us here over the last 13 games and 3 innings!

Yeah, Peters is indeed showing progress. And yes, Shaw did indeed have a bad outing. Overall he has been doing pretty well of late, but a decent pitcher from time to time will have a bad game, and that certainly happened with Shaw yesterday, as he did not record an out while he was in the game yesterday. Still, I would expect him to appear in close games in the future unless he starts having bad games on a more consistent basis.

I question the rest. Friday was the most he's thrown all season. Since they are playing today, the extra day woulda helped. Pudvar has already shown to need some extra rest.

I don't get how we gave up ten runs in one inning and if part of the answer is "we had no choice due to pitching constraints", that is a serious concern.

The only positive is that it wasn't a conference game.

You understate the problem. A bad outing for a quality reliever is giving up 2 runs in, say, an inning and a third. It’s not giving up 5 straight walks or hits, ending with a grand slam, and giving up 5 earned runs without getting anyone out. That’s a horrific outing, and the problem with the pitching staff is far, far too high a ratio of horrific outings to bad ones.

Yeah, fielding was a bit of a problem yesterday.

last weekend too. They fortunately out hit their mistakes. That won't always be the case.
