Looks like Devenney is hurt after swinging @ bat... Line-up being shuffled.

Game 2 starting off as a mess on all front except the 1-0 lead.

 

[dbmill]

Devenney is hurt and out of the game. Pat Winkel going to have to catch the second game.

 

[huskymedic]

Jones just used the word “amenity”... it’s a sign!

Top 4th, Simeone gives up a no out 2 run homer after a double. 2-1 URI. With two outs, Simeone walks the bases loaded. That's it for Simeone, O'Donnell coming in. Simeone threw 82 pitches in 3.2 innings.

 

[ATLDYKA]

That needs to be the last time we see him as a starter. Enough is enough.

 

[dbmill]

O'Donnell gets a ground out to end the inning. Good job.

I suggest you listen to the post game interview from last Saturday the last time Simeone pitched. Coach Penders says he has talent, but it hasn't translated into games.

 

[dbmill]

Jimmy Wang warming in the pen.

Chris Jones says UConn has lost the D.H. spot in the lineup with Pat Winkel now catching due to the Devenney injury. O'Donnell may be getting an at bat. He is a 2 way guy, so that. helps.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Stock reaches on a strikeout/wild pitch, and scores on error(s) when he steals 2B. Tied at 2.

I refuse to call him a starter. He is an opener. A la Tampa rays. He gets once thru order and that is about all you can expect from him. There is enough body of work now to know this is what he is. Period.

I think before Simeone gets yanked from the weekend rotation, some of the lesser used pitchers are going to have to show something. Remember, with 4 games during the weekends in Big East play, UConn will need to use more pitchers.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, O'Donnell gives up a two out solo homer to Vargas. 3-2 URI going to the bottom of the inning.

 

[Bomber36]

Fair ball.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, O'Donnell now hitting since there is now no D.H. for UConn, gets his first hit as a Husky leading off the inning, an infield single. UConn offense gets nothing more that inning.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Jimmy Wang in to pitch. Gives up a lead off single. After 2 balls to the next hitter, Coach Mac comes to the mound, and ends up getting tossed from the game.

 

[huskymedic]

Go Mac Go!!

I say let's let some of the lesser used pitchers just get a chance. You know who I'm talking about.

 

[dbmill]

A stolen base followed by two outs, including a great diving catch by Christian Fedko. Garrett Coe coming in to pitch, his first appearance as a Husky. Coe is a lefty facing a lefty hitter.

 

[huskymedic]

Garrett Coe = 6-7 276lb!

 

[dbmill]

Coe with a strikeout to end the top of the 6th inning! 3-2 URI. Chris Jones said that Coe had been doing well in practices lately, so he got a chance.

 

[Tmill15]

I hope there’s a video of Coach Mac getting tossed, I would love to see that

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Fedko with a two out single, scores on a stolen base and a variety of URI misplays, one of which was ruled an infield single for Stock which drove Fedko in. Game tied at 3. Chris Jones is right, this one is getting weird with the stuff that has happened in this game.

 

[Bomber36]

Crazy inning...

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, with 2 out and runners at 2nd and 3rd. Wild pitch scores a run for UConn, 4-3 Huskies.
