Konnor Pilkington to start against UT-Martin

[Todd4State]

Per pretty close to official rumor.

Interesting to see what that means as far as Sunday goes.

Cohen said on the post game show that he was thinking about trying him out for Sunday. Maybe he thinks @Florida is probably not the best place for him to try it and possibly shatter his confidence.

[Todd4State]

I think there is still a chance he could start Sunday. If he goes more than two innings, I would have to believe that they are leaning towards someone like Houston or another one of the freshmen.

Im for giving Houston the nod Sunday. Ive read others say he wants it badly and he's a veteran, give him a shot before giving Sundays to a freshman. Im not predicting success i just think if you're checking off all the boxes you have to check off Houston as an option before going to a freshman.

Houston's numbers...

2.63 era 13.2 ip 14 h 10 bb 18 k .260 avg

He's killing himself.

Ooosh. No clue how his ERA is only 2.63 with those bb's and h's. Thats worse than i thought haha.

Disproportionately high number of unearned runs. I wonder if most of those bb's have come after errors have extended innings.

Another possibility is that he may be inducing more DP balls after walking the previous batter. Perhaps some combination?

In any case, the number of hits he has given up is not that much higher per inning than Sexton. It's the walks that look particularly bad, IMO.

[smootness]

The hits and BB are both not good. On hits alone, his WHIP would be above 1. He would have to be walking just about no one to keep up a reasonably good WHIP.

But I'm willing to give him a shot. The K's are there, he just needs to keep the walks down.

[blacklistedbully]

He's giving up .15 more hits-per-inning than Sexton.

How many more is he walking than Sexton per inning?

I hate a damn walk.

Exactly. Walks are terrible.
