Hansen needs to settle in or it could be another short outing.

Needs to keep the ball down.  Living upstairs against this team has potentially bad results.

[Mitch Lovell]

Looked safe on live look but may be tough to overturn.

Pete isn't lights out so far but definitely better than he was last Friday. Mostly hitting his spots, but the Irish are making him pay when he doesn't.

Ardoin didn't do him any favors giving up the stolen base. 

[Huskie1]

Need some base runners!!

Have not put much pressure on this starter.

He has thrown a lot this year, and may be running out of juice.  Just a guess/observation.
