[QUOTE="CINCYMETJACKET, post: 804642, member: 4003"] I was very hopeful about having a deep and consistent pitching staff this year myself. Hasn't worked out. Have Hurter and Archer both coming back from elbow surgeries, and both have been solid at times but shaky at times as well. Roedig coming back from arm surgery, which apparently didn't work out so well. Grissom being limited early due to injury (I assume). Finley going out with TJ surgery. The rest, mostly up and down from appearance to appearance. Again, I suspect COVID played a significant part. Would have loved to see Maxwell work out his control issues last year, but if you can't pitch in competitive situations, you're not going to build the skills needed for consistency in such situations. Also not playing as many mid week games this year (or early season games against non ACC opponents) provides less time for development of pitchers. I'd be willing to guess that a lot of our eventual Friday night starters began their careers as mid week starters. Mark Pope, who dominated Georgia his freshman year, stands out. Too lazy to look it up, but I suspect McGuire, Farmer, and others also got their rotation starts on Tuesday or Wednesday as well. X is one outlier that I clearly recall, as he was starting as a freshman Friday night in our first ACC series that year against Miami. One of my favorite series to go to in March, as it's cold as F in Ohio and I can watch spring training ball on my way down and my way back from Miami. I refer again to Leiter and Rocker's stats their last 5 or 6 starts. Not that impressive for what most predict will be the top 2 arms off the board in the 2021 MLB draft, high school or college. Back in April, Leiter and Rocker were projected at 1 and 3. The latest I saw from Jonathan Mayo were 3 and 6. So they've slipped a few spots over the last month or two. Even the best seem to be having their issues due to last year's shutdown and no summer ball to work on things. [/QUOTE]
