College baseball is brutal……home run, home run, home run. I miss the 1950s/60s/70s…….walk, stolen base, sac bunt, sac fly. Hit behind the runner, etc.

Bottom 9th, Conte comes in to pitch.

why no mercy rule today?

Only in effect on travel day for conference games.

why no mercy rule today?

For Big East conference games, the Mercy Rule is only in effect on the last game of the series, which happens to be the travel day.

 

[dbmill]

Conte comes out of the game, Alejandro comes in to pitch.

Alejandro walks the 1st batter he faces, so 2 runners are on base with no outs. A runner moves to 3B on a double play ball, and a strikeout ends the game. UConn wins 19-7.

I'm sure the disappearance of wooden bats has something to do with it as well.

As long as we are hitting the home runs, I am fine with it!

Agree. Probably need a standard, where room permits, of minimum distances to the various points of the outfield - 340, 385, 415, 385, 340 at a minimum. That said, based on the HR's the Huskies have hit lately, even those numbers wouldn't them.
