Singer needs to go so he can get enough rest to pitch again Tuesday or Wednesday
Leftwich showed grit and heart last night. He battled without command of any of his 3 pitches. He'll be a weekend starter next year for sure and earned his stripes last night. As for the rest of the bullpen, except for Byrne, they sucked. It was nice to get the other fresman experience on the mound, but they failed in their jobs. We got some breaks and were fortunate to hang on. Giving up 6 runs in the 7th & 8th inning is totally unacceptable. 3 out of the Final 4 are SEC teams and we won the league, but beating Arkansas is going to be a real challenge especially the way they've been playing.The play by Langworthy in left was obviously huge, and I think gave Jack a bit of a lift. Defense from the OF and corners was
at times very good, other times not so much. The main concern here has the be the middle infield. Deacon is no Guthrie out there
at short, and has booted a couple now lately as has Reese. We also had a missed pop up in foul territory that Jon lost in the lights. Jack
shook it off and got the K a couple pitches later. He showed a lot of heart last night, and very well might be our Friday night guy next season.
