Could be a really fun year. The young guys will keep getting better and Tharnish is a star. Bell back now too. Just need the pitching to hold up. Ming has a team built for the future which is awesome.
Bennett was awesome in relief last night. Cloud had a great night, he might not be giving up his spot when Cerny is healthy.My observations so far:
1. Weekend starters very strong so far (except for Jelkin tonight);
2. Need to find a 4th starter for the postseason; Alderman hasn’t found it; still think J Bennett could help there;
3. Bullpen has potential depth, but need to see how they hold up in SEC;
4. Hitting has been hot and cold;
5. Tharnish is the real deal and Hudson Brown off to a great start;
6. Schwartz and Jenkins ooze potential but still figuring it out - will need them;
7. Caiden Cloud has made some big plays while Cerny nurses a hammy;
8. The team has good depth all around;
9. I am still very high on their chances for Omaha - will be fun to watch with Bell and Cerny back full strength.
Dare they sweep Alabama tomorrow?Kentucky is mashing so far tonight. Opening sec gm. Jelkin looks good too but unfortunately Tyler Bell is out with no word why.
