    Who to throw Friday?

    Since whatever Cohen decides to do will bring the wrath of a lot of folks I would like for it to be put out there who everybody would throw Friday. That way folks can't call Cohen out when they woulda done the same.

    For the record I don't think it should or will matter...I think we make it out of our regional despite a game or 2 being a bit closer than most would like. That said I'd go Houston on Friday. He has performed on some big stages this year, however I wouldn't have a problem goin Hudson to match with their ace.

    Sexton. Can't believe this is even a debate.

    Not Hudson. After that, I care a lot less, but I also wouldn't throw Sexton. I'd go Houston-Hudson-Sexton. That gives us our best chance of getting out.

    I agree but I'll bet cohen throws hudson. And if he does I'll roll with it. Any of the top 4 we have should beat anyone in this regional.

    To me, game 2, 3, and 4 are the only must win games of a regional. Therefore, I go Houston, Hudson, Sexton as my first 3. Pilkington if we go 4.

    Houston for me. I'd be ok with sexton as well. Zak houston seemed to have found it and was pretty confident in his post game. give him a shot

    Houston or Pilkington. Either one should be able to get the job done. Think I lean Houston just due to his stuff. If his head's right and he's on, he should be able to completely shut down a 4 seed like SEMO.

    Sexton

    If we win the first 2, we only need 1 more with Houston and pilk available

    Houston or Hudson.

    SEMO hasn't ever seen mid 90's for 9 innings. Blow em away. They see a lot of poor man's Sextons in that league...He'd still dominate em, but if you're not going Hudson, gotta go Houston IMO.

    I say Houston should pitch game 1, then go back to normal rotation with Hudson and Sexton.

    Will see if Cohen has the guts to throw someone other than Hudson in Game 1. I do think its the best strategy but opens a coach up to a LOT of questioning if things go poorly and Game 1 is lost. After what I saw from Houston last week I would have no hesitation giving him a shot against SEMO. And Houston is probably one of the freshest pitchers we have this late in the season.

    Pilk or Houston. Depending on what side their top hitters hit from. Whether they throw their ace or not.
