RHP Ryan Shetter (1-0, 2.13 ERA, 12.2 IP, 2 BB, 16 SO) I would have hoped we were gonna start Poche against technical texas, so here is hope for the kid. Let's do this MF's
Guess it depends on which of the 60 polls you look at, but Baylor is 17ish and old piss is 9-10 ish. Both started the season unranked so I have no problem sending em back.
What you think of Hess. I think he could end up the 3rd starter bc I would want Gilbert coming out the pen. Hess isn't dominating but he's got good stuff. Walker may just keep the job however. Curious to see how Peterson holds up vs top competition but he does look like your prototypical 8th inning guy. Good to see Newman finally find his stuff last game. He will be critical to success.
Think Gilbert is gonna be the set up guy which, is actually an improvement on Norman but I agree, I like Hess stuff more in the 4+ innings than Walker. His rotation is predictable, so it's just a matter of time before they pick up his speed. Like coming together on a pitching machine and his bender is iffy. Newman, I had no doubt. He just needs to get a few beers in him before handing him the darts.
