I thought we may see Leonard starting in the outfield, although Masterman has improved as well. Glad to see both of them in the starting lineup.I'm guessing Bellarmine is throwing a lefty. I think we'll see this right handed batting lineup and vice versa for a righty.
Leonard has improved steadily over the past 2 seasons. Only slightly surprised by his start in the outfield. My guess is he's won the start.
He really settled down after that 1st inniing. It sounded from Moth, like he has added a changeup to the mix. Throwing consistently around 90. His thing is really his location. He's very good with it. And of course it helps when you're throwing your breaking ball for a strike.Adam Elliott’s day is done after 4 innings, allowing just 1 hit, 2 walks, career high 7 K’s, and 0 runs.
It’s a great concern to have is whether Coach Mac can find enough bats for everyone to stay consistent in their hitting. We are loaded.There are multiple guys that could hit 15+ homeruns this season,if the number of games is normal.
I can recall on more than one occasion seeing ACC powerhouse programs marching into Patterson that were physically imposing. That's what this group looks like.It was an encouraging start to the season. You know what they say? Chicks dig the long ball. Well, so does this dude. I love seeing all that power. And the speed! As Mickey said after Rocky chased down the chicken in Rocky II: "We got speed!" This team, offensively, is going to be dangerous. That's a good thing with a "rebuilt" pitching staff. Give them room to work. Here's to everyone staying healthy. One last thing. Maybe it was because everyone was layered up due to the weather, but I thought a lot of the guys looked bigger, stronger. Go Cards!
This team has a chance to be really special. I talked with coach Mac last week about this and he reiterated how important it is to stay healthy, especially this year. Not only do you have to worry about injuries, but covid as well. I know it goes without saying, but if you have to sit out a few weeks in baseball, you could miss 6-8 games. That’s brutal.It’s a great concern to have is whether Coach Mac can find enough bats for everyone to stay consistent in their hitting. We are loaded.
