We were probably always going to have to start one of the two. It should be easier to find a setup man in theory. Torres and Gallo have struggled, so at the moment Brian Walters and Rafe might be the best candidates for the role based on recent performance.

Gino’s war on opposing coaches not disclosing their pitchers continues

Hope so. He didn’t make it out of the fifth in his first attempt during Friday’s scrimmage but neither did Ligon. This isn’t going to be pretty if those two don’t pitch better than they have the last two weeks.

Ziehl starts Friday

On 560 with Zagacki, Gino confirmed that Walters will be the closer and Ziehl will be in the weekend rotation. He said there are ongoing position battles in the OF and at 2B.

17th in the NCBWA poll

Nice to hear the players talk about changes to approaches and coaching styles

Gino again says he would rather have Walters close. Feels like he’s just waiting for three weekend starters to prevent him from having to start Walters.

Didn’t really stand out one way or the other yesterday. In general, the bats were pretty quiet. Where some of the bullpen candidates got themselves in trouble was lack of control.
