Yea it will hurt a lot. First off, we're trying to get him out of pitching lefty unless the splits determine it. Secondly, he's not great from the left and we need to win this game from an RPI standpoint. This isn't some throwaway game against UNA where we can try dumb shit just for the sake of trying dumb shit. We need to go Pico for 3-4, Siary for 2-4, and then go Davis/Hardin/Ligon/Schuelke to close it out. Basically piecemeal the backend together with guys we can count on instead of Holcombe or Stevens or leaving Schuelke in there for longer than 2 batters

Lo left is better than half of what we pitched midweek all year. Reason I mentioned it is we need to win this midweek. if anyone struggles, need to pull them before it is bases loaded and no outs. We took many losses with Holcome early year leaving too long. Lo can manage a few good innings left.

Coaches don't want to do that. They've weaned him off left for the most part because that will end when he gets to the next level. They want to refine the right and make it as elite as possible and IF there's a batter that struggles mightily with LHPs then we'll switch him. He's also never been primarily left. I do agree that we need to win and if anyone struggles we need to pull them.
