This^^^...unfortunately. it was Alcorn, fellas.

I'm a fan of Pico, and definitely think he's got the potential, tho.

Are you saying he knew alcorn sucked which allowed him to be more confident and in turn command the zone at 93-95 with good offspeed? Otherwise, I'm not sure what the opponent had to do with his stuff and command.

I'm saying I buy into Pico's performance much more than Colby's, and i think it can translate to him being an important player for us going forward...but...it was still Alcorn.

I'm not speaking in tongues here, lol.

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

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.

He was crisp. And I think he can help in SEC play. But to me- since it was Alcorn why not just let Pico start against Memphis and see how he looks? Memphis is clearly better and it will be on the road but there will be a decent crowd there if I had to guess. so it seems like a good test. Plus we might be able to stretch him out to 4 maybe even 5 innings.
