We are not respecting this opponent by leaving Macleod in there this long
Yes, it's early, but I would forget about the idea of "starters" in a traditional sense and go with "openers" like they are doing in MLB. We have 21-24 guys who can get outs. And we don't need 3 starters that have to go 6 innings.
Jesus Christ Macleod didn't even make it 2 full innings. We're gonna lose a lot of Friday games this year.
And the #2 guy in the rotation can't throw strikes. The Canadian.
Hmm...never seen that before. Wonder what Coach said to him. He didn't look pleased.
Yes we are. Looking like we are going to get crushed by Kent St in Gm 1Quote:

1 pitch from Smith and out of it. Good call.
Not a bad idea.Quote:

The only thing saving us is the amount of quality arms we have behind them.
Bednar was tossing the ball around in pregame warmups. That's a good sign.Quote:

That's huge. Maybe he can come back and be good and mitigate the damage of having two of your three weekend starters imploding so far.Quote:
