UCLA has started a RHP the first 2 weekends on Sunday that hasnt made it out of the 4th inning yet. Our line-up vs RHP's is ridiculous. Wondering if they go with the same guy 3 weeks in a row
We shall see. Stone has thrown pretty well for us let’s hope he continues this. UCLA is solid, a lineup a lot like ours, but one that has played together for a while. If we can jump on them early it will help us and get in their pen, in that hasn’t been used much this weekend. I like where we sit, we have a lot of bullpen left and this will be a great test.
Honestly this is about as good of an early season barometer as you can ask for. Both teams barely used their main pens. It's not ace vs. ace - it's pitching depth vs. pitching depth. I'm excited. If we can keep the bats hot then we leave here #1 and I'm getting arrested in Hattiesburg Tuesday night
I’ve just got a gut feeling that the team that scores 6 or 7 runs will lose.
Is there any way to watch this without flocollege? I watched the AZ St one youtube, but I couldn't find the VT one yesterday.
Duke has earned the right to start on Sunday. I wouldn't be surprised if we play well today..
I think we play lights out and win today. UCLA will be playing their stiffest competition that has depth in the batting order and the bullpen. Should be a fun one to watch!
It appears they will start Stump. He is a righthander with tons of experience and a lot of innings in his career. But he has control issues and his ERA has always been high.
Stump:
2024 he was 0-5 with 6.80 ERA. He threw 49 innings. Struck out 38 and walked 27. 16 appearances (11 starts)
2025 he was 6-2 with 5.02 ERA. He threw 75.1 innings. Struck out 62 and walked 39. 18 appearances (all starts)
2026 he has made 2 starts and is 0-0 with a 6.35 ERA.
So he's a veteran. But he hasn't been highly successful. We hit righthanders well.
lineup is up. Big guns up.
Good defense in the first inning by Stallman.
Dam 6 pitch inning. Thanks to great play at 1st.
Last year there would've been 2 errs/
