15 days until opening day....

[X-band '01]

Got a magnet schedule in the mail yesterday for baseball and I haven't even officially renewed my season ticket yet.

It's going to be $53 for this season. The games at Prasco Park will still be freebies.

[GoMuskies]

The team could start out like 1-15 and I wouldn't be THAT surprised. And we could still be one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the Big East. The schedule to start is BRUTAL.

[X-band '01]

We'll have to see how the pitching rotation looks this year. Luke Hoskins is the only notable returner as far as starting pitching goes.

Then again, we had no idea we were sitting on a stud in Brent Alazaus at this time last year.

[GoMuskies]

It's baseball season mothafockers. 1-0 Xavier over Clem(p)son in the first.

[GoMuskies]

It was actually 2-0 after the top of the first, then Luke Hoskins got out to the dreaded single, single, single, grand slam start. Oops.

Looking ahead as Game 1 is starting to get away:

Nolan Hughes will be the SP on Saturday. He's a Fordham transfer who split time between the bullpen and their starting rotation last year. Considering he had an ERA north of 8, I'd expect an early hook tomorrow.

Nick Boyle will be the SP on Sunday. He had a few midweek starts for Xavier last season, but he was predominantly a relief pitcher. Only threw around 18 innings last season.

[GoMuskies]

What I'm hearing you say is that 1-15 is more possible than we might have otherwise thought.

[X-band '01]

Better start today, at least. Xavier managed to get out of a bases loaded jam with no outs (and 3 walks) with a strikeout and a double play. And that was after a potential double play was called off by a foul ball down the 3rd base line).
