4-6 Starting Pitching Awful

Postby Dirtywater on Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:50 am

Other than Dean, our starting pitching seems to be getting shellacked for huge runs in the early innings. Our guys can really hit but how come our starters are giving up such big innings before they get yanked? Are fielding errors contributing or do our starters just suck?

I think there are a number of factors….
A. Beginning of a new season a slow start is possible with guys trying to gel together
B. younger starting pitchers Del Colle is a FR and Dennhardt is a SO that really didn’t put up spectacular number last year
9 errors in 10 games not that bad, a few bad timing for the errors, but that’s baseball

I would wait until we head north to worry

Dropped second game to FIU 18-14. The pitching situation has to be pretty demoralizing to the rest of the club when you score 14 runs and still cannot win. They gave the freshman Del Colle another chance yesterday and he got killed again as did most of the relievers. It looks like they have a real dilemma at the three spot in the rotation assuming Dean and Clemens can hold down the fort. The more experienced warm weather high school pitchers that can be recruited by the southern and western schools really provide a huge advantage over teams like BC. All the more reason why northern school managers like Aoki who have had some success and reach the tournament really must know their stuff in view of the talent pool they are limited to. It would be a shame not to be able to exploit the great hitting lineup we have this year.
