Name me a college baseball program who has 3 great weekend starters Friday/Saturday/Sunday. I’ll wait, because there isn’t one. There’s a reason why every team goes into the 3rd game without a pitcher announced.

Believe it or not, Mainieri had three solid starters in 2012 and still lost to Stony Brook.

Idk about this year but teams like Vanderbilt, Florida & Wake has had 3 very good weekend starters in recent years. Wake just last year. So it can be done in college. Just really hard to do.

LSU could’ve had that this year but Hurd had other plans

But they had quality arms to come out of the 'pen on Sunday. It's not all about starters. We burned through everyone we could trust in two days, because we don't have pitching depth, period. It's not for lack of "arm talent", but we aren't developing enough of these guys. It was the same problem last year AFTER injuries. Don't have that excuse this year, and we don't have that lineup to bail us out, either.

That's why, as much as it was nice to win this series, we are sitting at 9-15 in the league. We need another resurgence from Hurd like he did at the end of last year, or from someone.
