He was pitching upper 80s today and his slurve was getting it done. Went 7 full innings today and looks like a major competitor for the Sunday staring job.

If Poche is good and Lange doesn't fall in a sophomore slump we will be fine heading into SEC play.

I'm liking the twins in the 4 and 5 hole, as well.

We have good pitching.

Like we thought we would. Although I'll be honest Valek wasn't on my radar.

Lange
Poche
Valek


Long relief-Newman/Reynolds
Closer-Gilbert

I really like him following Lange if the rotation stays in this order. Right handed power pitcher then the other team has to adjust to a left hander with good offspeed stuff the next day.

Valek looks good. I've give him the Sunday nod for now.

I hope Lange just had an off day yesterday. He wasn't his usual commanding self.

The bullpen will be fine I'm more interested in how Bain pitches Wednesday and if Smith can work his way out of this rut.

I was somewhat skeptical after his first outing but was very favorably impressed today. he kept the hitters off balance and off the basepaths. if he keeps this up he's our sunday guy.

I think we're gonna be fine on the mound. we've really got an experienced bull pen and that may make the difference this year. we're gonna need 'em to keep us in games so maybe our hitting will score enough runs to win some games.

Valek could be the good 3rd starter we struggled to find last year. Need Bain or Reynolds or McKay to be the weekday/tournament 4th guy. I like stallings at closer although now that he has decent secondary pitches he could do longer relief

Solid performance especially on a Sunday when the bullpen was not rested.
With that said, it's still not SEC and you were playing a team that's been on the road for the entire week.
