This shouldn’t even be a contest. I kinda wish we had someone more challenging scheduled….

Totally agree! ... but at least you have made it more interesting by going on record with the "shouldn't even be a contest" jinx. Well Done.. now I will watch. (y)

@THWG spoke the truth. We seem to make most games too interesting. So these games should be boring. I'd like more boring games.

It'll be interesting to see starters, I expect Busse, Finateri, Patel like last week since Hall sort of said that in an interview. Hope Busse does better than any of his previous 4 starts for us; that start will be interesting.

Series became less interesting. I thought Hall said in opening day post game that Busse was fine and was just a bad start and said or implied Busse would start this week.

Oh well. Busse is a reliever and closer. That's how he was used in the Cape Cod league over the summer 0 ERA in 3.2 IP as I remember.

Nuke, you should know by now not to take interviews as gospel! Similar to how you know a MLB GM is lying if his lips are moving, college head coaches are not far behind in this respect.

I agree with you that our season schedule is plenty tough once we finish February.

I see that UGa hammered State 15-0 earlier this week. State has gotten off to a rough start, also losing 2 of 3 opening weekend to New Orleans. Hopefully we can handle Cornell and them in the next week. But then we get UGa, who has really looked impressive early. They are at 4-0, and none of their games have even been competitive. They have one of the top hitters in the country in Charlie Condon, and it looks like he has a good lineup around him.

While our series shouldn't be interesting, this series will be and I will check in on it some.

? Georgia State on Tuesday night *shouldn't* be that hard. A lot harder than Cornell and a lot easier than uGag. Season really starts with uGag, till then we have to win every game the guys get to play. This is a good time to sort the lineup. Outside of RPI considerations, I think this is a good way to start the season.

Here's Ga State's record so far, they were 100 RPI last year.

We seem to be making a habit of lighting up the scoreboard once we're deep enough into the bullpen. That works for teams like Cornell, and even Southern, but won't be a viable strategy against the big boys on our schedule.

Happy for the win, and excited we got some pitches in for the younger staff. But we need to settle down.
