This is where CBH said they would be but he expects to be a top 4 team. We will see if his enthusiasm translates into W's starting next Friday.

Before or after we knew Crawford was out for the year? For us to finish top four, a lot of unproven guys will need to step up. Hope it happens.

It was after he knew about JC. That is what he is counting on. Newcomers and better seasons from those that are coming back. Really high on the pitching. Listen to the interview if you have time. He sounds really optimistic but I guess all coaches sound that way now.

Lots of new faces....Freshman and transfers. Dax Roper at C could be a big boost at the plate....
