We’re going to be sweating this one out aren’t we…..
-
We’ll likely get swept this weekend, but some semi-encouraging things happened.
Witt throwing 93-94 with some success is huge. If we can get him back to form by being a 1-A/1-B with LBJ, then we can slot everyone else down a notch in the pitching order.
Also, maybe the homer gets Porter Brown back on track. He’s a proven guy that should be one of our top 3 hitters. Campbell was ice cold last year until after this god-foresaken tournament, so a red-hot Brown the rest of the year would give us 4 very good hitters in a row.
Speaking of homers, maybe JOD’s homer will get him back to being an above-average/serviceable bat in our lineup. I also have hope for Galvan and Belyeu along with the Freshmen Gasparino/Borba/Kennedy all improving throughout the year to make this lineup pretty tough and deep by April/May.
Not ideal to have to “hope” for about 4 things to happen to be a “contender”, but it’s all possible. And of course if it doesn’t come together and we fall flat on our face, then fire Pierce! -
Unless he adds about 30 lbs, Blue will be in the 4.28-4.35 range if he’s invited to the combine.

We have more than a year before our first SEC series. Let's get Big 12 ready first.
Need to get 2 quality/proven starting pitchers and at least 3 stud hitters (including a real catcher) from the portal. LSU can do it, we need to figure it out. Shit, just go get 2-3 of them Texas State boys to start with.

No reason we should have been going into this season with Hurley as our #2 starter. He’d be an OK Sunday guy and a good Tuesday guy.

What happened on the Galvan injury? I missed it.
Hurt his glove-hand thumb somehow.

Oh wow. Witt warming up.

Just not sure how we are going to score any runs tonight. After this guy, they’ll bring in that Ackerson lefty who shut us down last year.

Hamilton on to pitch.
Looks good to me. One of the best fastballs on the team (hit 92) and a pretty decent looking hook.

Gaspy's got a pretty good eye and lays off that outside breaking ball that always looks so tasty.
Inside heat still gets by him, but as he continues to tighten up that swing, he's going to be unreal.
He's got long arms to begin with and the outer half of the plate allows him to get away with the longish swing. For an opposing pitcher to throw him anything on the outside half is malpractice.
Once he breaks the ice with his first homer, they’ll come in bunches.

Our catchers can hit. I’d really like to see them both in the lineup at the same time (especially against lefties).

Pierce benched O’Dowd?
We can only hope….

Is that his 4th career? OU and Miami last year and 2 this year?

JOD is becoming painful to watch on D.
You seen him hit lately??

Off season moves weren't spectacular, but could really be good if Sale can stay healthy and Kelenic lives up to his prospect ranking. Even if they both tank, we should still be one of the top 3 teams in the league. The Dodgers will be tough, but this will be the year to beat them with Otahni only hitting and not contributing to their pitching staff.
-
So basically…we’d be top-5 if we were already in the SEC.

O’Dowd is this year’s Mitchell Daly.
Same Mitchell Daly who’s hitting .455 for Kentucky so far this year.

His swing annoys me. He try’s to homer every at bat. Straighten that shit out and go down and through the ball, Jack. Fuck
His open mouth gum chewing annoys the hell out of me!

Make that every 3/4 games.
