Friday: Stanley 1-0 (6 IP), 13 K, 1 BB, .053 BA against
Saturday: Etheridge 0-0 (5.2 IP), 12 K, 0 BB, .105 BA against
Sunday: Powell (first app, preseason 1st team CUSA)

a few pros and cons that jump out after 4 games

Pros:
- pitching has been lights out with Stanley, Ethridge and Boyd
- defense has only made 2 errors and both were by CF Trimble
- batters are averaging 7 walks a game (moreso bad pitching by NSU as we only had 2 walks vs South Al)
- in opening weekend Montenegro was only batter/fielder of the 14 that played who wasn't a freshman or sophomore

Cons:
- batting avg is .181
- batters avg right at 9 Ks per game
- 2 of our more experienced starters (Lynch and McGillis) combined batting 2-23 (.087)
- our catchers (Stanley and Johnson) are combined 0-10 with 1 run scored
- Shepard who was preseason CUSA pitcher of year struggled in his 1 relief app

no clue how Boyd isn't the 3 guy....

I gave up on berry's dichotomy long ago...

@AtttLoss

regardless, if'n ya can't hit, spittt means zero...

Hopefully it becomes an issue as it will mean our pitchers are lights out but would love/hate to see who gets left out come CUSA play if Powell, Stanley, Ethridge and Boyd are on cue and then Shep gets fully healthy. Regardless its a good situation to be in with CUSA play consisting of 4 game series.

In years past it seems like we usually tee off on opponents Sunday pitching (#3 starter) so hopefully with it being 4 game series it will benefit our hitting even more this year on Sundays as it will be #4 going due to the Saturday DH.
