    Shawn McGrath According to The UConn Blog’s content management system, I’ve published 1,075 articles on the site since February 16, 2016, the first of which was a preview for the baseball team’s upcoming season. This is the last one. Now that the baseball Huskies are done in 2025 and there won’t be any sports until August, which coincides with the impending birth of my first child, it’s time to move on and focus more fully on maintaining a house and being a dad.

    Ian Bethune/The UConn Blog The last time UConn baseball did not make the NCAA Tournament was 2017, when the team also landed among the first four out. Back then, it was tough losses in the midweek that dragged down the Huskies’ RPI. This time, it was underperforming against above-average competition.

    Ian Bethune/The UConn Blog UConn baseball’s NCAA Tournament bid streak ends at six after being left out of the field of 64 on Monday. The Huskies joined Southeastern Louisiana, Troy and Virginia among the first four out. Creighton, the Big East Tournament champion, earned the league’s automatic bid and is the 3-seed in the Fayetteville Regional. Xavier missed the field as well, making the Big East a one-bid conference.

I am interested to know the long-term plan here. Once Abreu comes back, the roster is still poorly constructed and the logjam is back. Sending him back down would be the wrong message, but some kind of move will need to be made

Alex Cora confirms Roman Anthony will be batting fifth tonight and that Wilyer Abreu is headed to the IL with an issue with his side. Apparently things developed quickly this afternoon and they felt Abreu would need more than a couple days to recover.

Love to invalidate a whole season’s worth of results on a five-game sample

So, the SEC got 13 teams in the NCAA ⚾️ tournament—including 6 of the top 7 seeds—and will send two, at most, to Omaha after No. 4 Auburn was swept off its own field by Coastal Carolina. That’s okay, though. I’m sure no lessons will be learned and this league will get 13 bids
