After a three-hour drive down I-35 to Austin, I had plenty of time to reflect on the past three days, and while disappointed by two ninth inning losses, there was a lot shown on the field to be encouraged about. This was most definitely a better start to the season pitching-wise than last year and while it was only the first weekend I am encourage by Brett Sears and Will Walsh as starters. The third spot is wide open.
Don’t be surprised to see the same three starters next weekend in Arizona. The coaching staff sees promise in Caleb Clark, the talented Canadian and I don’t believe they will pull the plug after one start.
