Really good stuff. Tony sounds really excited about the pitching staff. I'm glad Alex gets to concentrate on hitting, he could be special with his running ability. I, like Tony, am also worried about our pop in the lineup. Hopefully getting Thad off his knees will help his bat. His power can be scary if he can find some consistency. With this schedule we can come out on fire. Like Tony said this could be his deepest staff ever. We keep a consistent bat, with 15 of the first 17 at home this team can build some confidence to carry into conference play.
I think we have a realistic shot at a 40 win season. With the looks of the SOS that might not get us an at-large, but it's a damn good start.
With this pitching staff though I like us winning the conference. I also think the mid week games could be alot of fun this year if you know what i mean.
I'm ready....... anybody, anybody??????
