Reflecting on the game, I think this could be a season changing start for Simeone. He seemed confident on the mound and with every strikeout he picked up, he seemed to gain more confidence. He’s a big part of this team and having quality starts out of him would be great going forward

Very true, Simeone's success today was indeed against a lower level of competition. The same will be true with his next start against Georgetown, as they will play their first game of the season in the midweek just before the UConn series next weekend. If he has a good start against them as well, it won't be the end all, so to speak. We won't have a real idea of where he stands until pitches against a better level of competition (believe it or not, such a level does exist even in the Big East). I will add that one thing that Coach Penders has mentioned in interviews is that it seemed that Simeone needs to gain confidence in himself and his ability, as Penders believes he shows plenty of talent and ability in his bullpen sessions. I suppose it is possible that he may build it up against this lower level of competition, and that he will be good to go when the competition stiffens up against better teams in the conference. Obviously we won't know how this will all come out until the season progresses a bit more. But it would seem that Simeone gets to stick in the rotation for now. If competing against lower level opponents helps to give him confidence that will help him compete against better teams, well, we will see if it happens. This is obviously a potentially complex work in progress.

It is so nice to be above .500! The team has found it's groove and worked out some of the earlier issues. Yes, the caliber of competition is lower but these wins were so needed and such a confidence builder for them. They've settled in nicely at the new stadium and are on a roll. It should be a fun April and I'm very much looking forward to the conference games starting.

Happy Easter to you all!
 
Based on the letter from the athletic department, do you have to be a donor to go up on Tuesday and sit on the berm? It’s not made real clear. Supposed to be a nice day for it.

From what I gather in the letter sent out, you have to be a donor of the program in order to go. Just gotta wait a bit longer. I hope we can all go see games soon!!

So the berm is actually inside the fencing? I figured you could just walk up and sit there. I remember seeing a number of people there on opening day. I’m jonesing for some live baseball.

The berm IS inside the fence, but I was able to get inside to sit on the berm yesterday. However, I was wearing my Vietnam Veteran cap, which sometimes helps close the sale.
