Wins needed to make 2021 NCAA tourney

ucjoet said:
Tough loss yesterday. Our pitching has been fine (for most part) all year, the offense really needs to turn it around. Just getting balls in play and not striking out would be a start. We now have 5 losses. Four games by 1 run, One game by 2 runs. A little better / clutch hitting and the record would be a lot different.

To me UConn's offensive problems go beyond a little clutch hitting. There is no question in my mind that the offense needs to get more batters on base, which does partly go hand in hand with Coach Penders talking about putting the ball into play more and putting pressure on the opposition to make plays. Currently UConn has only two regulars (Christian Fedko and Bushling) and three part timers (Brown, Devenney, and Maycock) who have on base percentages of over .350. The team on base percentage is .327, and to me that isn't that great. UConn simply has too many innings where they don't put anyone on base. The more traffic on the bases increases the chances of scoring some runs.
 
Huge, much needed, gutsy victory. We win a 1 run game instead of being on the other end. Three solo home runs, but the man of the hour is definitely Caleb Wurster. I believe 10 of his 14 outs were strikeouts. Incredible. Hope this is spring board we need to get season going. Lets get a win tomorrow.

Go Huskies !!!

Would have loved to be 3-1 this past weekend, but we battled and 2-2 is not bad. Rooting for a 2-2 (or better) record for next weekend vs a very good Texas Tech team on the road. Then we have to go on a streak vs Northeast and Big East teams.

Go Huskies.

11.6 strike outs a games bu UConn hitters. That's terrible. It's even worse in college ball where so many errors occur and any contact can get you on base. This looks like it will be a season long problem.

Things can change over a short period of time in baseball - I will bet that it will be down to under 6 in a few weeks
 
Haven't been following closely due to focus on hoops and even hockey. Is this start somewhat disappointing? Feels that way to me, but again, haven't been paying close attention. I thought we played well vs UVA.

TT provides an opportunity, need to get at least 2. Really need to dominate the Northeast games and Big East.

Somewhat disappointing. We have been in every game so the one and two run losses hurt. Lots of positives to be had but also many things still left to iron out. The non conference slate haa been challenging but UConn has shot itself in the foot on chances to win each of these games. My fear is when the schedule gets softer that we may play down to our competition but that remains to be seen.
 
Tough night for UConn sports. Another 1 run loss for the baseball team, and a 3 point loss for hoop team. Many players on baseball team have not played up to their capabilities as of yet. Last night I think we lost the Creighton game because whole team ( minus Sanogo) did not play up to their capabilities. I reaaly feel the baseball team will turn it around, and we will have a good to very good season. Some of these 1 run games have to start going our way. Also feel the same about hoop team. Looking for a real nice run in NCAA.

Go Huskies!!!

Trying to change Mojo. Not updating list till after next 2 games. Bad weekend so far for UConn sports. Lets hope it changes with Hockey game, Nice bracket for hoop team and a Baseball turn around.

Go Huskies!!!
 
Sorry have not updated in a bit. Was hoping for a victory, and then update. After a loss or a losings streak, I am sometimes not motivated to update chart. Looking for a successful weekend for baseball team and hoop teams. Last weekend was a tough one, for baseball, men's hoop and hockey.

Baseball teams (obviously) needs to get on a winning streak. I think we are talented enough to do it. Just seems like things have not come together as of yet. I have a feeling this is the weekend we start.

Go Huskies !!!

Who would have bet on those rankings at beginning of season. Great opportunity to get some wins vs #2 ( currently) RPI team. Big weekend
Expand ...

Ah, the joys of early baseball season RPI, even more so in this pandemic year where a number of teams have barely started playing if at all. I believe St. Joe's has played and won 4 games, and none of them against big name baseball schools. Still, road wins for UConn would be a valuable commodity.
 
Much needed win. Lets get another one tomorrow before hoop game. I will start posting RPI after this weekend.

Another 1 run loss. We are now 3-9 in 1 or 2 run games. If we were 6-6 in those games, our overall record would be 8-8. What a different feeling we would have right now. Can't say that the 17th game of season is a must win, but winning tomorrow would be a small step (winning a weekend) in hopefully turning this season around.

Lets first get a hoop win tonight.

@ucjoet - I know you were worried about site security issues w/ Warren Nolan. He's another option that appears to be readily accessed w/o subscription? Quick comparison shows it tracks Warren Nolan.

Thank you. Appreciate the info. My email was hacked a few months back. Lost all my work contacts and emails. Was able to restore almost everything, but it was a nightmare. So now I am skeptical of anything even slightly fishy. Thanks again
 
With the help of Huskymedic, I now will be updating the RPI. The RPI (29th) is only criteria we are in green. I know it is still very early, but at least it is something. Have CCSU (258) today and 3 with URI (18) this weekend. Obviously would love a sweep. But a win today and 2 of 3 from URI would work.

Really need to go on a little winning streak. This weekend could tell us a lot of how season will trend.

Go Huskies !!!

Did what we needed to do yesterday, got a win. Great pitching led the day. Hopefully that continues, and also our bats get hot this weekend. Stating the obvious, need to get wins under our belt. Thinking that should happen, with schedule easing up a bit. Our RPI is currently 25, and SOS at #3.

Lets win ( or sweep) series this weekend.
