    Fri-Cade
    Sat-KC

    I do not expect any of the 3 to go longer than 5 innings. We will get to see a lot of our bullpen this weekend. Be interesting to see how we use Nixon, Dohm, Davis, and Stinnett

    I think our bullpen is going to carry us this year. We've got a lot of options and a lot of talent, just some of them don't have the experience yet and others haven't put it all together. I think we are going to have a good season, and our pitching staff (especially the bullpen) will get better and better as the season progresses. Our weekend rotation doesn't blow you away when you read the names, but I don't think they will hurt us too much either. I can't see KC being there by mid-season, but if he is I think that means he's been better than expected. Eat up around 5 innings, don't give up more than four (ish) runs, and we should be fine. This is me being a sunshine pumper. It's a rare sight. Screenshot it.

    KC has more potential than anyone on the roster on the pitching side. He has first round stuff if he can stay healthy. He has not been 100% for more than a month or two since he stepped on campus

    seems like he was up into the 95-98 range last fall. He's been in the 91-92 range in the scrimmages. I wonder if he is pacing himself a little this year. I wouldn't be suprised to see him 93-94 on Saturday.

    You get him out in front of 8-10K on Saturday and he will ramp it up to around 94-96. He probably will sit somewhere near 92-94 as the season goes on. He has good stuff where he does not just have to blow it by you to get you out. That is where his game has come along the most.

    Adrenaline is hell of a drug

    I didn?t think it would provide much of a velo bump (I didn?t pitch) until I started tracking velo in bullpens for my boys - I?ve seen everywhere from +3 to +7 on the mound with sustained for multiple innings about +3-4
