I like our odds of winning if our Sunday pitchers are only giving up 3 runs every weekend. Bruno still gave up 4 walks in 2.1 innings. but at least he kept anyone from scoring. Hope he can build on this.

Once we get to post season play, we will go as far as our pitching will take us.  We won back to back CWS titles on the backs of 7 or 8 guys who went on to play in the majors and a pitching staff who posted sub 3.0 ERA for the CWS finals.  We have some outstanding players now, but I don't think we have pitchers who can match the starters of those CWS winning teams.  We can't expect our hitters to consistently pull games out of the fire in the postseason.  Maybe a game or two, but the post season for college baseball is probably the most difficult post season championship in any sport.  I think you have to have at least two very good starters and a really good closer to have a chance of getting it done.  Scott and Quinn might be the starters we need, but I don't see a closer we can rely on. I hope I am wrong.
