Message: [QUOTE="dbmill, post: 2039203, member: 2504"] The season starts next weekend with a series against UMass Lowell in Florida. It sounds like that for the early part of the season the weekend rotation will be Cate, Montgomerie, and Domnarski. Since the first weekend has four games, an additional starter will be needed. It would seem that the candidates to fill that spot would be Andrew Zapata, Sam Nepiarsky, and Mason Feole. Even though I am eager to see what Feole can do and it seems likely that Feole will become a starter at some point in the future, in the past Coach Penders has usually given talented freshman pitchers relief assignments early in the season as a way to see what they can do before handing them a weekend start. It was true for Anthony Kay and Tim Cate, and I expect it will be true for Feole as well. My guess is that the senior Zapata will be the fourth starter next weekend. Given how inconsistent Zapata has been over the years, how he does could very well determine how many midweek starts Zapata gets the rest of the season. [/QUOTE]
