The Chants are starting Sr. RHP Zack Hopeck, who is 4-3 in 11 starts. He has 63.2 IP 3.96 ERA, 57 K and 20 BB. Coastal has a very deep bullpen with eight guys throwing over 20 IP. Coastal has surrendered 214 runs in 45 games, 4.75 runs per game.
Offensively they slug .483 and get on base .405, hitting 59 HR. they have 109 doubles. They field well at .974.
Well, our season boils down to this series . 2 out of 3 is a must to keep hope of that slight ray of hope. Geaux Cajuns...
Hopeck was their Sunday guy at the beginning of the season. Moved to Saturday and then to Friday. Jason Bilous, their Saturday starter, has electric stuff but has serious control issues. He was moved off Friday after issuing ten walks in 3 plus innings. But he's in the upper 90s and averages almost 12K per 9 innings.
I read about Bilous being a possible top 100 draft pick going into the season. He was drafted by the Dodgers out of HS, I think.
Maybe we get a few free bases Saturday. By a few bases, I mean many, many, many bases.
I feel like an addict, that is finally getting his fix tonight and this weekend, after a lot of abstention.
