Bat Cats

[ScWildcat3]

Could be a really fun year. The young guys will keep getting better and Tharnish is a star. Bell back now too. Just need the pitching to hold up. Ming has a team built for the future which is awesome.

Thx for the reminder. Just turned the game on. Big inning!

Bell Bomb !

Started slow and left a lot on base but getting it going now.

Cats move to 12-2 on the campaign.

Good win. A sweep would be huge for a weak schedule so far.

My observations so far:

1. Weekend starters very strong so far (except for Jelkin tonight);
2. Need to find a 4th starter for the postseason; Alderman hasn’t found it; still think J Bennett could help there;
3. Bullpen has potential depth, but need to see how they hold up in SEC;
4. Hitting has been hot and cold;
5. Tharnish is the real deal and Hudson Brown off to a great start;
6. Schwartz and Jenkins ooze potential but still figuring it out - will need them;
7. Caiden Cloud has made some big plays while Cerny nurses a hammy;
8. The team has good depth all around;
9. I am still very high on their chances for Omaha - will be fun to watch with Bell and Cerny back full strength.

Happy to see baseball thread. Thanks.

Hopefully the pitching is good enough.

So huge getting Bell back. Offense was off and on without him but he will help smooth that out on the better side.

When I heard he was coming back I was more excited than any of the basketball guys returns. Happy for the kid too.

Hope they have a good year. I’m just not in baseball mode yet. Won’t be for a month or so.

Bennett was awesome in relief last night. Cloud had a great night, he might not be giving up his spot when Cerny is healthy.

The young guys are exceeding expectations imo. Bell back is huge as well. Just need to clean up the pitching. Can’t walk hitters on good teams and expect to win a ton. But this lineup is dangerous 1-9. Tharnish is a beast and everyone can hit finally.

SEC play starts this weekend vs Alabama who has played similar opponents to us.

 

[Monday Nitro]

Cats break the tie with Ball State. 3-2 cats end of the 4th. Dude stole 2nd, and then 3rd and scored on a single with 2 outs. Mingione is a manufacturer!

ESPN+ pays for itself with baseball alone.

Another win yesterday with some nice hitting from the lower half of the order.

Need to find another option or two for the mid-week starter. Between walks, too many pitches and mistakes we are lucky our mid-week games have been against lesser competition.

SEC play starts this weekend.

 

[ScWildcat3]

I’m ready to see what this pitching staff looks like against sec competition. They struggled last weekend against citadel with walks and such. Some was due to citadel refusing to swing a lot. But if we do that against sec teams we won’t win much. I do believe this is best lineup 1-9 we have seen mingione put together and we have depth. Could be a special year.

Kentucky is mashing so far tonight. Opening sec gm. Jelkin looks good too but unfortunately Tyler Bell is out with no word why.

Dare they sweep Alabama tomorrow?
