Chris Jones wondering if Coe might come out of the weekend starting rotation, but points out a pitcher needs to show some production in order to take Coe's place in the rotation.

Better win the BE tourney, or no NCAAs.

Wasn’t pretty, continue to struggle and it’s all elements of the game.

[dbmill]

During the game last night Chris Jones said that with Santa Barbara having a lefty starting pitcher going in the game today, that he thought Shpur will probably get the start today in CF. That would not surprise me either.
