Makes me feel a little better about our inconsistent performances over this past week. I know we have a lot of injuries to our pitching staff, but still hate to see us give up a lot of runs to people we should beat. I like how we are scoring runs, but the bottom part of our batting order has me worried.

Looks like Butch is beating up on some cupcakes but Mingione is not doing so well at UK. The West might be pretty tough this year with Ark, UM, A&M, and LSU. We will be fighting to stay off the bottom especially if we only have 3 or 4 pitchers by the end of the year. Might not have to fight over who is playing SS or 2B when everyone is going to have to take turns pitching like in Little League.
