Hatcher is used to save the pen. Saturday starter Ethan "will be really good" Small gets hit hard, gives up walks, and even when he settles in he wasn't dominant. He gets replaced by McQuary, who was supposed to be one of the best middle relievers on the team, and he craps the bed with control issues.
Yeah, 0/4 on the unknowns (all of whom we were told would be good), and the one proven guy didn't look improved. And as I type this we go down in order -again- to a team with significantly below SEC average pitching
And yet when I said this team was a bad match up for us starting the season, some people balked at that notion. People need to temper their aspirations for this team. We aren't terrible, but those that were dreaming of sweeping or winning this series was fool's gold. We are still breaking in too many pieces.
