Some pretty bad news. AJ Minter has been scratched from Friday with elbow inflammation. He'll have an MRI sometime this week. He came out early last Friday because of this (he only threw 70 pitches)

The plan is to move up Long and Kent and throw freshman Larkins Sunday. Larkins is also starting today in our last 5 game week. Hopefully AJ is okay and just needs a bit of time off but if not, we're really going to run into depth issues.

From what I've seen from Larkins, he has just great stuff and is a future stud. But he is inconsistent and leaves balls over the plate. That becomes very problematic against SEC comp that won't miss on those just because he's throwing low 90s.

My biggest worry about this team come postseason is the pitching depth. I think we are talented enough and have the attitude to have a pretty special squad but that's my only concern. frick the negativity though, 17-0
