Quote from: jetz on February 27, 2012, 12:15:44 AMTheir pitching staff is deep with good pitchers, but no dynamite hurler. Porcicello (sp. ??) has a lot of pop in his bat, but the others were just decent.

DJ Baxendale is a preseason all american and beat south carolina, florida, and vanderbilt's aces last season. I think Fant might be moved to the pen though and have someone like Astin move to our sunday starter. He got hit hard after he got tired.

Ficociello is probably our best hitter but Jacob Morris and Matt Reynolds are legit too...im hoping we can finally get our lineup figured out by the minute maid classic...not sure if the freshmen should be in there or not

But anyways it was a good game...one more hit and it could have been different but thats baseball. Good luck the rest of the way!

Man i thought you guys were going to get us in the ninth. I guess these close games will be good for us down the road though. I was impressed

We have a great pitching staff but our hitting last year needed improvement so we're trying some freshmen in the lineup...we'll be sending junior randall fant out to the mound tomorrow. He's kind of inconsistent...when he's on he's very hard to hit but when he's not its pretty bad. I think he's great for a sunday starter though (was our saturday starter last year) and is one of our more experienced ones. This will be his first start this year though because he's been a little nicked up

The guy we started saturday has a nasty fastball, probably touches 97, and is rated as a 2nd round prospect but hasnt put it all together yet for us. Im not as high on him as a lot of people but im sure we'll find someone eventually. Heres to a good game 3!
