    Well pitched game, only the HR, gave up 5 hits and only 3 walks. Hoping for more of the same from the pitchers this weekend.

    I know that Neely wants to be a weekend starter but he is so good as a closer.

    Rich "Goose" Gossage started out as a starting pitcher in MLB and became a great closer and is in the HOF for his exploits as a closer.

    Not that Neely is another Gossage but sometimes the path to greatness is not what you think it is. I am sure that Gossage wanted to be a starting pitcher but that wasn't his path.

    And he had a wicked amount of armside break and sink on his two seamer.

    A must win that they got. I didn't watch the game, but seems like great pitching tonight. Now we need to figure out a way to win at least 2 vs. Kentucky.

    We should have done that in basketball but only got the split.

    We used to own them in football but no longer.

    Time to start owning them in baseball.

    Good win

    - excellent pitching tonight and no Coppola.
    - seeing Clemente and Neely late very interesting.
    - hitters did enough. Very encouraged with Shelnut with bunt and oppo double.

    Weekend Rotation:

    Guessing
    Pierce
    Liam
    Jac

    Question is how do you effectively utilize Clemente for best usage? Could easily be a starter. Love to see him as a 2 inning opener Friday and then be used again Sunday in long relief or to set up Neely.

    Glad Sully remembered to tell the pitchers to give up fewer runs in a midweek game. He clearly wasn't doing that earlier in the season.
