But something is up with him. They only let him go into the fourth and throw about 60 pitches. It may be time to make Hunter Mink a starter. What good is having him as the closer if we can't get to him. The three guys on the staff who can get people out consistently are Kerk, Jack and Hunter. Maybe give Lord a shot as the closer instead - flip/flop those two guys.

Oh, and softball is a paper tiger. Great record, but only if Corrick is pitching. She's dominant, but that's all they have.

Agree with you on softball, Thankfully a softball pitcher can be used much more than baseball. But yes when she doesn’t pitch we aren’t very good.

Jaziak missed the last two Friday night starts due to injury.  Word was he experienced more "soreness than usual" after his last start a couple of weeks ago,  but "it was not considered serious".   To quote the person that told me this "at least that's what they told us".   My guess is that his short appearance on Sunday was due to pitch count and working back towards is normal Friday spot in the rotation.

Lord was scratched late on Saturday for "precautionary reasons".   Again, not considered serious.  We shall see.

Pitching is going to look rough when 2 of your top 3 are injured.   Also appears that Grause, a freshman who was looking good, is injured since he hasn't seen the mound in a couple of weeks.

This look's eerily similar to early season concerns last season (except we have won more games this season) and it turned out pretty well.   I have faith in Mohl doing what he does.

Agree with Mohl and how he handles the pitching, but it sure doesn't look like there are a lot of options. We NEED Sanchez to get back to where he was at the end of last year. That would help A LOT in the middle innings, but he's been hammered so far in almost every outing. I'm sure Mohl didn't count on that. Maybe Hudi turned the corner on Sunday. That would be nice if he and Hemenway were solid in the middle relief and could give us consistent innings.

I believe that most teams struggle to run out first line pitching on the weekday games.
