BASEBALL: Stevens will start vs. Southern (12.20 p.m. update - quotes, analysis)
- Thread starter DustinMcComas
- Start date
I like this move. Make Southern earn everything and take away their strength. If we can't beat ASU or Fairfield with Madden on the hill at the Disch in a critical game then we're probably short timers in the tournament anyways.
I think stevens could be the ace of most staffs.
That was my preferred order for this weekend. Mr. Dependable starts us off.
Stevens from April on (includes top 3 conf opponents):
8 starts, 56 IP, 37 K's, 9 BB's, 15 ER's
2.41 ERA
7 of 8 starts lasted 7+ innings (keeps pen fresh)
6 of 8 starts allowed 2 ER's or less
Stevens is not overpowering but provides the high quality consistency that's very favorable for a matchup like this. Not the type to become erratic and give away damaging free passes or have to exit early. Ability to return off short rest for limited work if needed is important as well. Let's do this, Tristan. 🤘

He said "at the moment", and he's not completely wrong with that statement.
It doesn't take anything away from Madden. Ty hasn't been himself in the last month, and it's really been since the blister.
That doesn't mean he isn't dominant, All-American, pitch nasty stuff, etc. when he's healthy and full on.
that’s exactly what I said and why I said “I hope your statement isn’t true by the the weekends end”
nowhere did I dispute “ at the moment”
At his best he is our best pitcher I don’t disagree and why I said “when he’s on and the blisters managed”
so you genuinely think that at this very moment Ty Madden is the third-best starter on the Texas roster? Am I getting that right?
Hate to see that for a guy that has led his team during his senior year and carried their program all the way to this point. Sounds like a pretty big blow and probably makes an ASU matchup more likely in game 2.
It doesn’t matter who is considered #1 or #2 IF we don’t start Hitting the ball !!!
Couldn't agree more. Pitching and defense are the strength of this team. The phase of the game that will determine how deep of a run we make is the offense.
I am not worried about bats, at least in this first game. Their pitchers have an average ~ 6 ERA against whatever shitty schedule they played.
No, and I didn't say that. I just said he's not completely wrong. I only mean what I said about Madden not being his best right now.
I do recognize it wasn't conveyed well. But, I think Madden is outstanding. I just think he's off his game at the moment. That's all I'm implying, nothing more.
My comment had more to do with the big picture Game #1 “should not” be a issue
