If Aaron hill ain't gonna hit he better field or get someone else out there

I wonder if Lambrecht might get a start or two at 2B once he's fully cleared.

When Lambrecht is back I would consider it

 

[uconnbaseball]

I will never understand Hill for the life of me.

Awesome job by Nepiarsky, he deserved to escape the mess that he inherited. Sad!

I'd put Prato at second and Lambrecht at SS if that's the case. He's had a hard time with throws from short

 

[huskymedic]

Long four innings...

Good point - maybe Moriarty gets a game or two at SS? I'd assume Penders putting him at 3B in Yahn's absence shows he has the range. Either way, gotta keep Prato's bat in the lineup.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We outscored them 3-2 that inning, but the seniors (except Gnesda who had been good) need to start stepping up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We fail to score in the top of the 5th. I wonder how much Yahn's injury is affecting him?

Susi is a beast, he will probably be a top 5 catcher in college baseball next year.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Meanwhile, over on Longhorn Network Texas just beat #13 Texas A&M 4-3.
And if you have AT&T Uverse, you might get BYU tv and in the 8th, BYU losing to N Mexico State 8-6.
I know the Thursday and Saturday games are being televised against UConn

 

[uconnbaseball]

Awww poor aggy. Be right back, I need to get the world's smallest violin.

Top of the 6th, still 6-4 them. Nepiarsky looks excellent.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Winkel with a big RBI triple to make it 6-5. Just need contact here from Toppa

 

[uconnbaseball]

Go go Toppa! I would have had extreme confidence in him in this situation last year.

Edit: brutal. Need more production from the veterans sans Gnesda.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Stranded

 

[Baseballguy]

This game is a nightmare that just won't end.

Of the Seniors, it's Hill that is frustrating. Every year we hear he has great summer league production and then does nothing during the season and then tends to warm up around tournament time. And as I type this he just dropped another pop up.

 

[ATLDYKA]

3-12 team, this would be a brutal loss on the record.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hill is murdering this team. You simply cannot drop multiple pop-ups as a senior leader.

Needs to be benched. Moriarity at SS next Game and Prato at 2nd

 

[Baseballguy]

Penders post-game interview should be interesting.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Top of the 7th, still 7-5. SC almost broke it open there.

 

[huskymedic]

Fugly...

... but nice grab by Krueger.

 

[huskymedic]

Time for Hill's redemption...

... well, Catcher's Inteference works to load bases w/ no outs.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hill bailed out of a dagger double play by their catcher. Gnesda and Feldstein continue to be awesome.

Should have called a bunt in that situation

Winkle tops it right in front of plate for double play. WTF

 

[Baseballguy]

Bases loaded with no outs and not a single run comes in. Smh

 

[huskymedic]

 

[uconnbaseball]

This team does not have it.

Yes, Santa Clara is desperate enough to throw their starters out of the bullpen, but they are still mediocre pitchers. What a terrible loss.

 

[huskymedic]

Yahn really out of sync @ plate since return (understandable but)...
