latest bracketology has State as a 2 seed (4/16)

[Todd4State]

Pico looked damned good last night. We could certainly use a reliable left for in the bullpens for the weekends.

Why not use Pico as a starting pitcher? We do have Tyler Davis who is usually good.

Well and that's the thing. I think we are still trying to find the next Landon instead of just finding a guy with good velocity and a good breaking ball and conditioning him to close. Landon Sims type players come along once in a generation. Even Holder and Papelbon, who were both great, blew saves for us. If the ball got into Landon's hands, the game was over.

I think the staff was relying on Stone Simmons to come back too much and didn't take the precaution to get another Aaron Nixon out of the portal.

The thing is though- you have Tyson Hardin right there and he still hasn't gotten an opportunity. And why has Nolan Stevens been allowed to fail multiple times but Auger blows a save against South Alabama where he didn't have his slider and now he's middle relief?

This staff does things to themselves that don't make sense and our fanbase is too knowledgeable to let stuff like that slide.
