Guys, there is a ton to take away from yesterday. I haven't looked at the game threads yet so I apologize if someone has already stated some of this but here is my opinion.
- First and foremost, we lost and that's not good at all
- However we got two bright spots... 1) Solid starting pitching. Hudson let his nerves bother him a bit in the first but then really settled into a groove and did a very good job. 2) hitting the ball was very good. More extra base hits than we are used to and even a dinger. 3) the young position players did a very good job all around. We have some very solid young players.
- the main negatives I took away were ... 1) out hitting wasn't timely (that's a lineup issue) and 2) our bullpen struggled mightily BUT there were a ton of kids pitching in their first major college game in their lives and the moment was too big for them. Jarred Padgett didn't throw long but he handled himself with the most confidence out of all the young guys.
- I think we rebound fine. I see us winning the remaining 3 of this weekend. Going 3-1 in opening weekend should def be a positive.
