...blame for the show’s flaws can probably be placed with director Robert Walsh, who was ultimately responsible for making sure that the show was as comprehensible and convincing as possible. But the lead performance from McCaffrey, whose Jake could have used some toughening did not help; McCaffrey diluted the role with too much tenderness, and in the process he turned Jake into a petulant bore. The play’s three elderly characters were likewise lacking in interpretation; each of the three actors had occasional moments of comic vigor, yet they did not have the presence required...
...don’t think this weekend’s miserable pitching performances are anything for Walsh to lose sleep over because of the three veteran starters’ solid track records. Rather, if I were in his position, I would be absolutely ecstatic with a lot of what I saw over the opening weekend of the season...
This makes Herrmann’s performance on Sunday all the more impressive. The sophomore from New Jersey appeared in only three games for Walsh in 2003 and was wholly unimpressive, registering a 13.50 ERA. After reports that his velocity has greatly improved, however, Herrmann appears to have locked up the No. 4 spot in the rotation this season.

In the three-hole, Hendricks showed the form that made him arguably the best hitter in the Ivy League last year prior to his season-ending injury, when he posted .387 average and a sparkling...
...excited by the weekend’s events, as the emergence of Herrmann, along with the continued growth of the powerful Crimson lineup, should have Ivy League opponents terrified as Walsh and company prepare to return to the NCAA tournament this spring...
