Hey, Hawgeye, I've seen the starter lineups. Can you post a bit on where you see our mids and closers top options standing? Thanks
I did not see this yesterday to respond.
I think McEntire is going to be the important glue to this staff during the season, especially as the grind of the SEC begins. We should expect to get 5-6 innings each outing out of Smith and Molina...I really want to see that from Tygart as well, but we will see how he pans out this season.
If we can get 5-6 out of two starters a weekend, then that means we can probably use McEntire twice on the weekends, most weekends.
I really liked Koty Frank last season before his injury. I think he can help a lot. If Wood struggles or doesn't have it together, I think Frank is an option on the back end. Saying that, McEntire may be an option as well on the back end to get two appearances out of him per weekend.
I am interested in seeing Colin Fisher in this opening series. He was not one of the highest rated players in the class, but DVH sees something there.
The group of junior pitchers will be our star power (Smith, Molina, Tygart, Faherty, and Carter), but the sophomore class (Wood, Foutch, Coil, Bybee, and Dossett) of pitchers may be more important to this season.

I did, too, but it seems his speed is down from what it already was last season, but if he can keep the ball down in the zone, it may not matter.

We need 3 of the 5 to step up this year. I think Coil is there and ready.
I think Carter will be a good relief option in the 2nd half of the season. The staff will bring him back very slowly.
If Faherty can keep his control this year, he'll be a very solid middle relief/closer option. He's always good good stuff.
Lots of depth already, plus we'll get some of the freshmen back from injuries like Hunter Dietz, Tucker Holland, and maybe Hachman (though not totally sure on that one even though he wants to).

Watching Aloy play defense gives me anxiety. His movements are so lax.
Posted on 2/16/24 at 4:04 pm to Drewbie
At least he looks good at the plate

Hogs win!

We're about to find out after the turd Smith laid today.
Mac and Wood came in and did work.
On to game two

Wood looked as advertised.
Posted on 2/16/24 at 5:24 pm to UltimateHog
He certainly benefited from a wide zone.
Posted on 2/16/24 at 5:39 pm to cubsfan5150
I thought he got squeezed on a couple of those curveballs.
Posted on 2/16/24 at 5:40 pm to UltimateHog
He looked better than I thought he would. That's for sure. I'm curious as to what speed he was pitching at, since they weren't showing the numbers on the TV screen. I know the numbers on the scoreboard are usually inflated for by 3 or 4 mph, at least in previous years.

One of the commentators said 94 on the FB.

I don't put much stock in anything that happened on offense, TBH. It was cold as shite and windy. Offense isn't going to be anything to write home about in those type of conditions.
Only thing that surprised me a bit was Hagen looking not so great.
It's the first game. All will be well.
Oh, that Hawaiian fella can't hit a curve ball for shite.

They are giving away pop out schedule magnets today at the game. Is there anyway to buy a couple of those if you don't go to the game?

Tygart drills the leadoff man with a fastball to the ear.
Next JMU batter out in a sac bunt.
JMU base runner thrown out by Helfrick attempting to steal 3rd.
3rd out comes from Holt making an awesome sliding 4-3 putout that saved a hit up the middle.
