And yes, I know we have a tough game against ULL tomorrow.
But tonight went about as well as we could have hoped. Easy 10-0 win, played a lot of guys and Bednar looked good.
Going to be interesting to see how they use Bednar this weekend. He threw 31 pitches tonight so we could potentially see him Saturday or Sunday. I could see us letting him throw anywhere between 30 to probably no more than 50 in that range. Which will probably be good for anywhere between 3-4 IP against Eastern Michigan. Of course, the real question will be whether he starts or not or if this is Cerentola's last stand.
I'm expecting them to start MacLeoud again Friday and then start Bednar or Fristoe Saturday. If you pushed me for an answer I'd say Bednar on Saturday. They're not going to want to put too much pressure on those two because one is a freshman and the other had an injury and is rounding into form. I also want to see Preston Johnson pitch some this weekend too- maybe on Sunday because I could see him pitching against ULL.
We're already starting to see some guys like Self and Forrester getting regulated to midweek SWAC duty as it is.
I know everyone is talking about Cerentola because let's be honest- everyone wants to talk about the train wreck because that's human nature. But to me we REALLY need MacLeoud to step it up even moreso than Cerentola. I say that because if MacLeoud can be a legit Friday night guy then we can keep Bednar on Saturday and then use Fristoe on Sunday.
