UConn v. USF @ J.O.C. (Fri. 5/10 @ *3p*, *Sat. 5/11 > Double Header Gm 1 @ 11a/Gm 2 @ 2:45*)

Bottom 7th, two UConn batters get on after two out, but don't score. Offense has just turned into a pit of dispair. 3-1 USF.

I would think Penders knows a lot more about this team than any of us posters know. Considering that this loss is likely to put UConn's RPI in the 30's, the Huskies are certainly no lock for the tournament, especially if they lose the series at Tulane next week.

We're at 30 right now.

Toppa is not having himself a weekend.

I know, and with a loss here it might be heading into the bubble area.

Dandeneau stays in for the 8th.

Dandeneau strands a pair of runners in the 8th.

This is what sucks about this year's team. We're still only down 2 with 6 outs to go, but with our bats, it would take a miracle.

Hopefully I just jinxed it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hard to think the aac tournament is going to be a good experience with a team with no offense.

How can you say this? It’s eminently clear that @ATLDYKA has forgotten more about this team and how they ought to be coached than Penders and his horrible staff will ever know.

Bottom 8th, Christian Fedko doubles with 2 out, Ben Maycock pinch runs, so Fedko is out of the game. It might be late in the game but still don't like the pinch running move. Inning ends with no scoring by UConn.

And my friend is back. I knew you were lurking out there somewhere.

Don't question Penders, it will hurt Stair's feelings.

Gotta love the non-regular posters who pop in to scold us all...

 

[dbmill]

Wallace in to pitch the 9th. No real surprise here, as UConn's next game is Tuesday.

So what do you think Stairmaster? Do you think he should have brought in CJ when he did?

 

[dbmill]

Don't question Penders, it will hurt Stair's feelings.

Coaches everywhere love to pinch run, and I always think their is this big downside of taking out a better bat in the lineup when you need runs. It's not just Penders.

 

[Stainmaster]

Don't question Penders, it will hurt Stair's feelings.

Why do you still follow this team if the way it’s being run infuriates you so much? What do you get out of it - is there a masochistic element?

 

[Stainmaster]

I think you should be running the team. Or if not you, then at least someone who knows what they’re doing. Based on your posts it would appear that we have the least competent staff in the nation.

I get everybody’s frustration but we aren’t going to turn these game threads into a veritable circus and end up in the chat room format (which absolutely suck)... knock it off (please).

Pretty sure I have as many (if not more) posts on the baseball board as you do.

This year? False.

@Stainmaster has been around the baseball boards for some time, just hasn't been posting much of late.

If you’re going to police these threads for content, you could’ve started with the childish wailing and moaning that’s driving other posters away.

In part because the complaining is absolutely unbearable.

 

[HawkHusky]

LOL. Perhaps you should visit the WBB board if you want some kumbaya.
