Well, I guess Bordner is having some arm issues. If we can get him back, that might make a big difference. The biggest difference between this team and in years past, is that we do have more quality arms but not the dominant relief pitching. Also this team is not as fundamentally sound having made over 50 errors and that doesn’t include baserunning gaffes. We also don’t have that 15 HR power guy but a few guys that do have pop. This bodes better when you get (if you get) to Omaha with the large field. The main ingredient is pitching and we do have 4-5 quality starters.Yep, I don't think the bullpen is solid enough to sustain a deep run without that offensive production.
I've got my fingers crossed the O gets going.
Well that is one my pet peeves but unfortunately we are not exclusive in this practice. I have always felt that Williams lets his pitchers throw too many pitches. Funkhouser comes to mind. Recently Bobby Miller threw 121 pitches and wolf has thrown 115.I've witnessed several games lately,where the opposing team has let their starters go 100 plus pitches,despite some rough innings. So,yeah I can see that coming into play with this group going forward.
Good RPI win last night against Vanderbilt. Detmers was solid but as in a few games lately bullpen was shaky allowing Vandy to score some late runs. This time we had enough cushion.
Ugh. Cards drop the last game to Boston College who I think is 7-20 in the conference. Still got a great performance from Miller, just couldn’t score any runs losing 2-1. Last I heard the Cards are one of the last teams in as an at large but can’t keep losing games like this one.
Well UK beat IU last night 7-6 but don’t know how that factors in. I would prefer a bracket like the one above. Think we could handle ECU and LSU is struggling a bit but always dangerous.I'm hearing IU, but it depends on how UK finishes their season.
They definitely have the starting pitching to do well in the regionals, but their hitting, defense and bullpen have to be more consistent.I'm not quite sold on this group, but I'm looking really hard. Great win last night after blowing the 4-1 lead.
I'm with mac though, that it's about getting hot and at the right time. There are some guys that have had struggles that seem to be heating up with the bats. There is enough talent to get me sold.
Stay tuned..
We'll get a better idea next week..
I agree. It’s amazing that we were in the game with all the walks and errors. We’re still a young team but can be dangerous. I hope Bordner is able to pitch in the regionals.A few thoughts from today's game. Too many walks, too many errors. We play so stupid at times. Shouldn't have been in that game. Frustrating. Oh, well. We were never going to host. Let's go!
