quote:I liked Hudson and Thompson inserting Allsup between Mullins and Skipper last night. He threw 10 pitches and 9 of them were strikes. He's also got a 1.84 ERA on the season as well. I think he can really help the BP down the stretch. Allsup may be a guy that can take on Skipper's long relief role behind Bright on Saturdays because Bright can't seem to get through the lineup more than once.
Good start to the weekend. 2 more.

8-6 AU. 2-0 and going for the sweep tomorrow.
Bright pitched deeper into the game yesterday than his previous outing, but gave up the ghost and ended by giving up the 3 run bomb and was removed. When Butch was interviewed in the 4th (or 5th?) by the SEC Network he mentioned concentration and competitiveness w/r/t Bright. Implying that maybe Bright's issues are between his ears and he loses focus when he works deeper into games. Just thought it was an interesting comment.
I really hope Thompson and Hudson will look at Allsup for the Saturday "Skipper" role next week and moving forward. If he can throw strikes he's got great stuff. Sheehan reminds me of Horn coming off of Tommy John surgery three years ago. Sheehan just can't quite locate the ball like he needs to, to get outs consistently yet. It usually takes a year+ after TJ to really get back to normal. If Sheehan has a 6th year I hope he'll consider coming back because he was a frontline starter for a really good Notre Dame program for 2+ years. My only question with the pitching moves AU tried yesterday was bringing in Armstrong. He looked poor midweek and always seems too hyped-up for the first few batters, which is not a good trait for a spot reliever.
