Matt Hobbs really needs to figure out our bullpen situation. I feel like there is really no major consistency or progression from anyone.

The only thing that confuses me about our bullpen is how people hit Wiggins the way they do. You’d think a guy with that kind of gas would blow it by people but it’s like it’s so easy to pick it up out of his hand

He doesn't have great command of it all the time. When it's belt high over the middle of the plate every time he is gonna get hit.

Depends on his grip. Could very well look like a big ole tater coming to the plate. His gotta get more consistent with his arm slot. That’s where he runs into trouble. That’ll effect the spin and what the ball looks like to the batter.

When you don't have to worry about a pitcher's off-speed stuff, even the fastest fastball is easy to hit. Pallet has the same problem.

Bingo. Wiggins' changeup isn't reliable at all. That hurts him more than anything.

Kopps is our only legit pitcher

Friday and Saturday guys are sketchy at best

Noland is a non factor

He was throwing in the pen the last couple of innings. They have a lot of trust in kopps though.

We just played the best offensive team we’ve seen all season. I wouldn’t go off a Cliff because of this series. We still won.

Noland has been injured and not available. He should be ready in a week or two.

Wicklander has been pretty damn solid the last 3-4 weeks. Vermillion has been fighting arm soreness and it was publicly visible yesterday when he left the game. I’m surprised none of you posted about it.

We have the arms still to make a run. As long as Wicklander and Lockhart stay consistent, we will be fine. Lockhart just wasn’t a good matchup against the power bats of Ole Miss today. The hope would be Noland, when healthy, will be able to eat up some quality innings.

I think today’s score was a product of playing 3 game in 30 hours. Ole miss’s pitching was worse than ours. Ole miss’s closer was untouchable yesterday. Today he gave up 3 runs in one inning.

Yea, it’s a big impact. Guys who pitch in game 1 are a full day rested on Sunday.

Glad we won the series and it’s over. My concern is two midweeks this week and another series this weekend.
