Auburn v/s UCONN


Recommended Posts





Very, very pleased with this weekend. Couldn't manage a run yesterday but I thought pitching and defense was very solid all weekend. Can't wait for opening day on Wednesday, and lookin forward to an incredible season

For context ... Where did these 3 schools finish last year?

What was their prognosis for this coming year?

In other words were these 2 "good" wins and a "good" loss?

Ohio State finished 35-23 in 2013.

Indiana State finished 26-25 last season, losing to Wichita State in their tournament finals.

UCONN finished 35-28 and went 1-2 in the NCAA Regional in Blacksburg, VA

Early in the season it's hard to say, but a 2-1 start is still a good way to get 2014 going. The loss to OSU might have been a good thing before it's all said and done.

Looks like we're going to play a lot of small ball this year. Good pitching, good defense and small ball offensive execution. I don't think we end up last in our division.

Small ball is only as good as your pitching. Good defense being required goes without saying. If the pitching staff is going to routinely give up 4 or more runs per game your lineup needs some sticks that can stroke it. Old, but true baseball idiom: "Power+pitching=pennant".

Yes, teams have won with small ball but it's awfully hard to do.
