Out of our 10 conference victories, only one win is credited with a starting pitcher. It tells me we play alot of tight games in the AAC, and also it tells me our bullpen has been a huge strength for us all season. Here's the breakdown of wins: Ryan Valdes- 4 Mark Savarese- 2 Andrew Perez- 2 Joe Cavallero- 1 Phoenix Sanders-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at least was "acting starter" against Memphis(?) when Shane went down in the first, but your point stands. Every game has been tight, but you're right if the starters faultered the relievers were able to hold the fort down while the bats woke up.

Phoenix was the only one that actually started and earned a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that our conference opponents are significantly better than our OOC opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane pitched his best game of the year tonight, so its not his fault...blown save by Valdes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get they were trying to save Joe C and AP, but Valdes didn't have it. He kept giving up long fly balls and there was almost another solo shot that the wind kept in. Shane was on fire all night up nail he give up his homer. Wonder if Joe is available today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a strange stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
