RU up early 3-0

 

[RU Husky]

RU fell behind but rallied to take the lead 8-7. UConn batting in bottom of the 8 th with runner on base.
Edit- Gorski gets out of bases loaded jam ( he walked 2 batters) by getting inning ending double play. On to the 9 th inning.

 

[RU Husky]

Bullpen can’t hold save and UConn ties game in bottom of 9th. Could have been worse. The Huskies had the bases loaded and 1 out but two infield grounders send the game to extra innings.

Top 10: RU threatening.

Top 10: RU threatening.

Wasted opportunity with inning ending DP by best hitter.

 

[RU Husky]

RU drops opener 9-8. Nice comeback only to give game away.

Let’s see if they can avoid DH sweep.

UConn leads 4-3 in Game 2 and threatening to score more in the B3rd

RU trails 6-3 and running out of innings

just don’t get swept …

 

[RU Husky]

just don’t get swept …

They did. Two one run losses.Lots of opportunities. They outhit UConn in both games (18-13 in game 1 and 15-5 in game 2) but it's runs that count.

 

[knightfan2000]

They didn't get swept yet - still a game to play on Sunday

 

[biazza38]

Our pitchers is below average. There’s no sugar coating it. I have zero faith in them holding a lead

 

[knight82]

Who is our pitching coach and what does he do all day?

 

[RU Husky]

Our pitchers is below average. There’s no sugar coating it. I have zero faith in them holding a lead

Duly noted. Did it again in game three. Had the lead and now trail by 1 run in the 7th. Also outhitting the Huskies for the third straight game.

 

[biazza38]

Pitching still sucks.
Sigh. This is what’s so difficult about baseball. Getting your hitting and pitching lines up.
Our hitting is fine. We have the hitting of a tournament team. Our pitching is freaking brutal

And results so far from today's game?

Bello gives up a 3 run homer in the bottom of the ninth and Uconn gets the sweep, 9-7.

 

[RUTrack94]

Lost 9-7.
3 losses by a total of 4 runs.

Damn … UCONN swept us in BB, final 4 in MBB and football was in a bowl game. WBB is always top notch.

Hate to see UCONN better than RU this year,

Need to check other sports to see how we compare.

 

[RU Husky]

Crushing walk off loss. Bullpen woes are outrageous.

UConn superiority is not a fluke.

Can they ALL be that bad? I think the pitching coach needs to take some blame

UConn superiority is not a fluke.

We had a closer last year who pitched 34 innings, gave up 20 hits, struck out 51 and walked 9
The hitters batted 202 against him for the year

We could use him now because the current crew is not getting the job done.

We could use him now because the current crew is not getting the job done.

And the problems go way deeper than just the closer position. As soon as the starter comes out, we are in trouble
