I kind of read it as needing to work everyone in b/c VT doesn't really have a stopper and you really need one elite pitcher no matter how good your hitting is. That is, this was going to be a pitcher developmental year. Not to worry, those pitchers are showing up, maybe I got it completely backwards, Pete knew he had two or three solid pitchers and really could describe it as a pitching staff or, of course, repeating you here, you don't really know what you got until practice starts and someone like Carrico appears: "developmental" year over, let's play ball. ** Edited by `lag at 3/22/2026, 9:54:20 AM
