Hats off to the pitching staff

Schmidt Friday Paz Saturday Moore Sunday and move Evans back to long relief then stack the rest of the bullpen behind him in the portal

They pitched well this weekend, albeit against a pretty bad team. Seeing USCe at 7 conference wins is kind of wild after watching them play this weekend, but I guess "that's baseball" for ya. They also played Mizzou, which helped their record.

Last weekend was frustrating that the bullpen couldn't hold on to a single lead. The weekend before, our bullpen was pretty good against aTm, it was our starters that struggled. I know they were stretched thin with Evans being a late scratch last weekend, but if they were able to hang on to just one of those games, the postseason discussion is a little different today than what it currently is. Still not impossible, but as it sits now, it's improbable.

That said, I'm still riding with this team til the end (even though I might've quit them a time or 2 already ). The young players have been really good lately. Wish Stanny was healthy enough to be out there with them.

And you know this how? I’m sure Evans would rather do what will improve his performance and be best for the team

Because of common sense. Look at Chase Burns.

First round level talents do not take multi million dollar hits for the team in college, nor should they.

Sure, you can take him out of the weekend rotation next year. But I guarantee you he's in it to start. That's why you'll have a hard time bringing in a top end pitching prospect if Moore comes back.

So, if you're Jay, you need to be certain a guy you're bringing in is better than Cooper Moore before your bring him in. You won't get a weekend arm plus bring back Evans/Schmidt/Moore.

I would rather run it back with the three we have than push one of them out, unless you get an Eyanson or above level arm.

Every year under Yeskie (and even under Wes with Jay) the pitching staff has made a jump in May. Hopefully that is happening again
