This may be a bit of a tougher schedule than one might believe upon first glance.

While Q'piac and La Salle don't seem all that formidable, the challenge is not simply the games, but the management of the roster leading up to the big series with ASU and the run up to the SEC schedule.

It will be interesting to see if we roll out a similar rotation versus Quinnipiac...some combination of Lee, Serrano and Williams...Hunter Martin may not be ready to return.

The La Salle series, we'll most certainly see some new faces. Saberhagen, Charpie, Marks, Peterson, Freeman, Vanderford and Eric Martin (injury) have not made an appearance yet this season.

Then it's a flight out to the West Coast to play a well rested ASU team.

Part of the challenge of this schedule will be the balance of keeping the positive momentum going, while getting some guys some experience and some guys some rest. Guys like Maddox and Simcox will likely have a day off in there somewhere so that guys like Rogers, Bily and Moberg get some playing time.

However it turns out, it's gonna be an interesting bunch of games.

GBO!

Good early season challenges. Could give us a boost if things go well. I feel like we'll drop a game or so maybe we shouldn't, but will have a great record going into the ASU series.

I would love to see Serrano go deep into his bullpen over the next five games to get some guys confidence and experience. La Sallie and Quinnipiac provide the opportunity for us to open up our pen that'll be dug into again and again.
