Game 17: 3/9/25 UCONN

[Sebastian Font]

UConn ultra aggressive on bases zero respect for our pitchers to hold them on

They're extremely well coached. Each one of them is timing the pitcher to get that early hop jump

 

[CTCanes]

Look how quickly UConn comes out to talk to pitcher. Versus our staff.

 

[Sebastian Font]

2-2, Tanner Smith ties it on an RBI single after a nice hit and run

 

[FreddyCane]

Morris has to be excited watching all these bunt attempts today.

 

[scane]

UConn is finally giving us some of the gifts we've grown accustomed to early in the season

One of my good friends texted me if we were going to bunt fabio right before the pitching change. Told him to bet the mortgage on it

 

[Sebastian Font]

4-2 Dorian works an RBI walk

 

[Sebastian Font]

DWill almost got that one. Still a good inning, 5-2 Canes

 

[Layne Rolan]

We do so much shifting, routine ground ball to second is played by first baseman.. ugh

 

[FreddyCane]

That throw down costed us, wondering if Smith is dealing with something. He's not gripping the ball and barely following through

Not sure what the problem is but it feels like they’ve stolen 10+ bags this weekend and most of the throws are not close. Defense was supposed to be his strength.

 

[scane]

Peralta continues to seize his opportunity

Overall Takeaways from the day:
4. Whoever can showcase better hitting between Peralta and Torres will play. Both are extremely plus defenders with speed, getting some production at the bottom of the lineup is crucial.

^ So far Peralta is proving my preseason takeaway correct

way way too much IMO

Timing up our pitchers very well. Good scouting on us for sure and we have made zero adjustments with say mixing in a slide step, no look, two looks, quick pitch, hold longer, etc.

 

[scane]

Weirdly similar game so far to last Sunday in Gainesville.

 

[Sumcane]

28? That would be a disaster

Sure would. I'm honestly just hoping for an above .500 season and not sure we'll get there.

 

[Angry Ibis]

way way too much IMO

Miami Meatheads and their "analytics" when they completely lack feel for the game and use of those analytics... one season bleeds into another

Notice announcers said UCONN rarely if ever shifts.

 

[Sebastian Font]

8-2, Cuvet 2 rbi single through the left hand side

 

[Angry Ibis]

Nice runs. Not the best swing on a 2-0 count... lucky it got under the glove...

I'll still take the runs.
