Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2714291, member: 2504"] I was at work so I was only listen to small bits of the game. However, my wife is also an avid fan, so she listened and gave me a few updates. From what it sounds like, Cate will not be back for the Houston series. If things go well with Cate throwing this weekend, then look for him during the East Carolina series. From what my wife was relating from what Chris Jones said, he was speculating that it might be more in a relief role, not necessarily a starting role. After missing so many weeks in the season, it is doubtful that he will be able to eat up lots of innings like he has in the past. Still, he is definitely someone who can get batters out, so he is an extra body who will definitely help. Losing Rossomando for the season is also disappointing, as he has had some good moments this season and has shown when everything is right he can get some guys out. With only a couple starting pitchers who at this point can get beyond the 5th inning (Gardner could be a third if he is able to heal up), I'm a bit surprised that UConn has continued to win as much as they have. This shortness in starters innings produces a strain on the bullpen, but getting Cate back would certainly help in that regard. And hopefully Dunlop and Simeone will get to the point where they can start a game and go 5 decent innings. UConn is going to need that in the post season tournaments. [/QUOTE]
