Toward the end of the season...I remember a game where Poche folded, and the Bullpen was brought in and one right after another...and couldn't throw a strike.

Right then, I realized that we wouldn't win the CWS. Gotta have two CONSISTENT starters...and a lockdown Closer to win up there.

On to next year.

Regardless of his handling of the pitchers, its hard to argue we weren't limited on the mound. Outside of Lange and maybe newman for a few innings, there is no one on this staff that could be trusted to shutdown the opponent. I'm sure that's what he means. Person was mediocre. Poche is slightly above average as a pitcher, Godfrey is a freshman who isn't ready, same with Bain, Latz was hurt, and Marshall was a pussy.

The Thursday night game at South Carolina. Blew an early 5-1 lead and lost 10-6.

I kind of had an inkling then, too.
