The pitching staff on the other hand was expected to be much better than they have shown. Need some of those guys like Hurd, Ack, Loer, and Guidry to get it together and then guys like Moffett, Cam, and Kade Anderson to step up for us.

We were in a similar place last year. We had Skenes, but our 3rd starter and key relievers kept getting hurt and Floyd, Hurd, Ack, Guidry, and even Coop were having a rough time mid-season.

Our options in the CWS were pretty limited, and we had to throw Ack out there to start and we used the hell out of Coop, Guidry, and Hurd - fortunately, they came through.

Our staff this year is more talented than it was last year. We need to make sure that we get into the tournament and hopefully the staff will gel at the right time.

Hurd needs to come around. Herring seems to be doing for us what Coop did in the second half last year. We need a third starter (like last year) and a few more guys to throw the ball over the plate.
