Interested to see if morehouse can have the same stuff and effectiveness as Wednesday.

So Hurley or LBJ or both to the weekend starters it seems with Morehouse now making another closing app

I would assume that's what will happen. Not sure why Pierce would replace LBJ for Morehouse and leave Sthele given the data thus far. I haven't seen the rotation for this weekend posted, so I could be incorrect.

So impressed with what Woody has done so far.

I just wish we would have brought him in while Tulo was still here

For sure. Now, can we go get a legit hitting coach, please?! Hopefully, that's what happens with the fourth paid assistant.

It’s the 3rd paid assistant that’s new. And the 3rd guy for us right now is a hitting guy. Was previously the director of hitting and pitching development last year.

Might be one of those things where he feels we need a good late inning reliever more than a decent 3rd starter, and Morehouse fits that late inning reliever role more than Sthele.

At this time, I’d almost want to pair sthele and Hurley as Sunday guys, and expect each to go 3 or 4. If there is enough in the pen to do so. 

Right, this would also make sense. My fear is that Pierce will do what he tends to do and leave him in too long though before bringing in Hurley to take over. @Hookem2147's point above maybe adds some clarity as to this week's potential plan.

Yeah, this a good idea/possibility.

Shore seems Morehouse is the closer with LBJ being the weekend guy. It will be interesting to see how Saturdays and Sundays are allocated. Do we go second best Saturday or hedge a bit to take advantage on Siunday.

Just to follow up on Powell, his first two years in 2020, 2021. He was a combined 7-22 with 3 doubles and 2 homers. Only 8 ABs last year. One of those ABs was a key RBI single versus USF to help send us to Omaha.

No idea about his story, but in limited opportunities he has flashed potential.

It’s hard to see him hitting.400 on the season, but he shows a lot of positives at the plate. Selection, bat control.
