I'm not overly concerned about the bullpen yet either. It is the hitting that has me flustered. We're about to face what might be the best pitching staff in the Big10 this weekend. I'll get into it a little bit later this week with some Q&A with IllinoisBaseballReport, but the Illini staff has a couple starters that are pitching VERY well. I'm not sure if that bodes well though, as most pitchers doing well before we face them get knocked around, while meh guys with good potential close us down.

It's not as if anyone is running away with the BT title yet. It is only two weekends in and a lot of ball yet to be played. That said...they DO need to take care of business this weekend. I would be happy with 2 of 3 against the likes of the top contenders...and I feel the Illini are a top contender. If Fetter & Katz can give us a solid 7 or better yet 8, I have the confidence that Miller & Dufek can close it out. It's just game 3 that scares me. I like Wilson starting with Smith out of the pen...from there... ? Sure hope coach changes hitting approach. Let the boys go...get aggressive. We watch WAY TOO MANY first pitch fastball strikes go by. formerly… don’t stress just yet. It’s not as if anyone is running away with the BT title yet.
