Ha... Bigelow auto-corrected somehow.
Funny, I get auto corrected to Someone instead of Simeone all the time.

Yup, I would say it is time for Caleb Wurster pretty soon.
Huge win!!!!
What a bleepin’ win! I was swamped at work and couldn’t get an ear on the game until the top of the 9th, but what a final inning it was!
Indeed, at worst Uconn will have a 2-2 record against Michigan when all is said and done.
Man, I hate the Boneyard sometimes. It's asinine enough to give up on a baseball game after 1 inning, but to declare "we're outmatched" playing one baseball game on one day against a team we rolled over five days ago is beyond my comprehension.
Love how they have repurposed will lucas. Struggled mightily last year in field and at plate. McDonald obviously worked with him and has given two really solid performances out of the pen. depth On this staff so far has been nicest and biggest surprise
I'm sure part of the switch to the mound for Will Lucas is due to UConn having plenty of infielders on the roster this season, with a couple more coming in next season. Lucas coming into last season was billed as a two way player, although he never pitched in a game last season. I do recall an interview or two with the coaching staff last season that said they were going to have Lucas concentrate his play as a position player. During this past summer season with the Mystic Schooners Lucas played the infield, I don't recall if he pitched at all. At the Alumni game this past fall, Lucas played 3B.
Not sure when the decision was made to give Lucas a shot as a pitcher, but non of the preseason articles or interviews I saw or listened to mentioned Lucas as a possible mound candidate. And on the 2020 roster, Will Lucas is listed as an infielder, with no mention of being a RHP. Whatever the case, imagine my surprise when Lucas took the mound last weekend and came out of it with a solid outing. And then my wife tells me that during the early part of the game broadcast today, Chris Jones said that Lucas was going to focus on his pitching this season. Sure looks like the right decision was made here, and I look forward to see how he does in his next mound appearance.
