I was nice to see the team sweep Marshall last weekend. They win ugly, don't they? The last two they won on their last at bat. I cannot remember about the first game. I ended up getting there late the Saturday and Sunday, Sunday being a weird 10 AM start.

They also won the last two mid week games. They shut out Houston on Tuesday. Wow!

But do we say this team is playing better? I'm not convinced it is enough. The guys are hitting a little better and Rendon is acting like an all star. Pitching has been very good in general but some guys still have good outings followed by bad outings. Reckling looks like he might be losing it again. His confidence is shaky.

The fielding is still on the whole below average. They make good plays. But infielders and outfielders still get bad jumps on balls and they always seem to make easy plays look exciting.

At this point they look like a team that makes post season but may not even host a regional. Losing the first weekend series was a bad sign. UCF is a good team but there are likely better in the C-USA.

I am still betting on Graham. But he's having to work pretty hard.
