As Mike posted last night, the Bulls got a great win over Stetson, 5 to 2 to finally improve them to .500 on the season at 18-18. But what does the future hold for this team?
The Bulls have been playing up and down all season. Getting a huge win over Miami only to fall to Florida Gulf Coast College. The team wins big games over Big East opponents, but can't sweep a series and falls asleep in game 3 of each series.
The offense is brilliant at times with Koscso and company getting on base and producing runs. They don't have a lot of power, but can get on base and are smart hitters. But many games the offense looks overmatched and can't move runners over. The same goes for the pitching. With Barbosa out for the year, the pressure is on Fontanez. After him though, there are so many question marks as to who is going to take over and help pick up the slack on the starting rotation. So far, Eastham and Gonzalez have not been so great, but continue to battle.
The team is traveling to Louisville on Thursday to begin a 3-game set against the Cardinals. Lville is 20-16 (6-6) on the season, so USF can hang with them and should be make it a great series. This could be a breaking point for the Bulls, coming off of a win over the #18 team in the country. Can they carry the momentum from a nice home win onto the road and get a few wins against a tough Big East foe? We will find out Thursday night with first pitch scheduled for 6 PM.
