Davis got the job done. Nice win.

Solid win. And a nice 123 bot9, lol.

Did what we had to do tonight, 5 game winning streak!
-
And the "closer" gets it done!
-
Really nice streak! Backend of our pitchers were solid, good to see!

Which has coincided with using Tyson Hardin as our primary closer. Not surprising to anyone here.

Very solid! Nice job guys!

The good- we won, which means we didn't screw the game up and our RPI went up 3 points.
The bad- Pico didn't build on Alcorn which is why I am glad we were able to try him out this game to see how he would respond to better competition. I think with Hardin (and Davis) emerging as closers we need to go ahead and make Nolan Stevens the Sunday guy. We still may be able to use Pico but it probably needs to be in relief for one inning at a time.

Also Bad: Colby still can't be trusted. I'm honestly tired of the stress of even watching him warm up in the pen, lol.

Letdown guy of the year. Parker has done a good job- but Holcombe is worse.

I would only pitch Colby in a blowout. He's just all over the place. With SEC only teams left (still assuming we cancel North Alabama) I doubt he pitches again this year unless we go deep in the SEC Tournament.

I agree about Stevens, we should have been getting some innings, not sure why we haven’t. We need a Sunday guy badly.

Like Coach said we'll probably go with Auger but short and long term starting Stevens makes more sense. It would allow Auger to be another really good arm in the bullpen. With Davis being the set-up closer 2 and Hardin being closer 1. Schuelke can be the long relief guy for us. We just need him to pitch overhand to LH hitters more.

I dont get anything about the Stevens situation. We dont pitch him enough and we mf'ing sure dont hit him enough. This is the guy we signed thinking he was our future 3-hole guy. I'll defend Lemon on overall stuff but his methods to get there make me wtf????? every time we play

It's his decision making as his #1 fault. You can't Coach players up if you don't play them. It's a pattern with Lemonis with being slow to change things (our new second baseman).
Parker has coached up our pitchers, he is the difference maker, but I give credit to Lemonis for bringing him the Dude!
P.S. I am glad we are on track again, but I wouldn't extend Lemonis contract to his last year. But that is just me. Btw 34, speaking of contracts, I was told yesterday Jans hasn't signed his extension because he doesn't want a buyout, our AD ain't stupid. Also Jans never went on the Arkansas interview, all smoking gun from his agent and Arkansas smoking gun with Cal already in the boat.

I went back and watched Hardins last few outings just to make sure my eyes haven't been deceiving me. That 2 seam fastball with arm side run and sink, the cutter(no batter seems to read spin on it), and the breaking ball have all become plus pitches. It's like he's not even the same pitcher from last year. Amazing what a pitching coach that lets you use your strengths and not just throw 4 seamers up and breaking balls off the plate can do! Credit to Hardin he's obviously worked his butt off and the confidence he's showing on the mound is incredible!

He and Khal Stephen are the poster boys for Justin Parker. I wasn't sure why we kept him around this offseason even though he could always throw hard. Parker and the lab have made him a monster.

Yeah Colby only needs to pitch when we're up by 10+
