I part of it was about Biven getting his mojo back.Not an expert in such matters but really don't get the 'closer" thought process. Eberle was throwing smoke, why the hell yank him? Biven closed the game but could have just as easily given up some runs.
Is it time to settle on the 9 hitters?He has been so good. That first inning was bad; but, he has settled down. Our guys need to hit the ball.
IDK. For the most part he has. 2B has been the primary rotational spot. DH - that could be a different guy every game IMO.Is it time to settle on the 9 hitters?
He’s not overpowering. He’s just cooking with the placement and timing. Need to keep the damage minimal until the bats wake up.Cards making UNC’s pitcher look like Greg Maddux.
NCAA does not like to schedule DH's on travel days in case they can't get the games in. They don't make up conference games if they are not played.Totally shocked. That is REALLY hard on UofL who just played two mid-week games. Dbl-headsr on Sunday - sure. Thank you ACC.
Maybe not yet because now King is back playing again. Plus it is a long season, Davis and possibly Munroe will need rest. The other issue is that when Klein is not catching, we almost have to dH him which limits some PT for some like Early.Is it time to settle on the 9 hitters?
I agree 100%. I would definitely have stayed with Eberle. Just don't understand the change at all.Not an expert in such matters but really don't get the 'closer" thought process.

Yeah,me tooBit on the cool side. Still debating about going out; leaning toward going out at least for a while. Would love to see our bats sizzle today.
Too early to tell about Tucker. He did get the save but he gave up a single and a walk before getting that 3rd out. I would say the jury is still out. King is back playing but really needs to be cautious with the hamstring especially when the weather is still iffy. Also don't know about the status of Alecea and how long he will be out. Is he day to day? Of course, it usually does boil down to pitching. I think they are optimistic about Detmers, but yes solid performances by Forbes and especially Michael.I bailed mid-7th as Wyatt came on to pitch. My legs were frozen.
Are they back? I think the bats must get better against off-speed pitchers. They looked confused at the plate yesterday and part of today.
Pitching. Tucker seems to have come out of his coma. Wyatt looks great. Several FR have looked very solid. So, the question is:
Is Detmers going to be ok?
We need Cutts to be a dude on the mound.
Can Hartman pitch to the level he is capable of?
If those three items are all Yes - should be a very good season.
