Garrett Coe retires the side in order, UConn wins 12-4.

UConn bullpen is in about as good a shape as it can be for a fourth game of the series tomorrow. Never would have expected a situation where Wurster, Marrero, and Willis would not have pitched yet in this series. And Haus may be able to go as well.

So if we win tonight, we get first in the BE?

Our magic number is 1. One win or one Creighton loss tonight or tomorrow and they won the regular season

For some reason I don't see all the posts, so apologies if this was mentioned already. In the last 6 games (6-0), the Huskies have scored 66 runs (vs. 22 for the opposition) against three teams with winning records. I'd say the offense is peaking at the right time.

who's the starting pitcher today?

 

[Marbles90]

For those who went to the game(s), what are they allowing/not allowing you to bring into the park? It’s says you can bring your own food/drink since there are no concessions. Are they allowing bags? And what items are prohibited?

Hasn’t been announced yet... there are a few options since it will be a bullpen day and they have a bunch of fresh arms.

Wow

 

[dbmill]

I can't say I'm surprised to see Joe Simeone get the start, although I'm sure he will be operating under his usual short leash, especially with the bullpen in good shape for today.

I don't expect to see the coaching staff to start experimenting with starters on the last day of the season with first place in the Big East standings on the line. Such experimentation usually takes place in midweek games, but one of the effects of the pandemic was to limit the time to find alternatives in non conference games that would not hurt you all that much.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Reggie Crawford get a lot more time as a starter next season. However, starting him in this game would take two plus defenders out of their normal spots, Crawford at 1B and Chris Winkel at CF. And this while having David Langer playing at 2B. One of those things, it looks like too many moving parts on the defensive side of things.
