Hitting has been so inconsistent for several weeks now. Pitching has kept us in most games. We'll see if any of these freshmen can step up and make some timely hits every game. No dominant pitching so have to have some hitting.
It's a new season. This could be there time to catch lightning in a bottle.
We haven't heard much on this bunch about leadership and chemistry. Much like the b-ball team, once they caught a little noteriety they folded like a $2 pup tent.
We will see what they learned, if anything. It may just not be their year.
On the other hand, they are way under the radar. No expects anything. This is their chance to play loose, have fun, and see how far they can go.
