Stats don't bear that out...

Cole...
5.34 era 1.53 whip 9.79 k9 5.93 bb9

JB...
4.62 era 1.51 whip 8.51 k9 4.93 bb9

James...
3.00 era 1.44 whip 9.00 k9 3.25 bb9

France...
3.21 era 1.36 whip 10.96 k9 3.74 bb9

France and James have been considerably better. Cole and JB's walk rate makes them borderline unusable... unfortunately, we have no choice but to use them

And Bama isn't like the 61 Yankees, our pitching should be ok as well as our hitters! It's a must to win one more game but like Todd stated we almost need to sweep, get it done today and we all will fill better.

Wait, you go to stats to prove your point on Cole but not for Luke. Selective stat usage . Cole, is an easy read, when you bring Him in and the first few hitters light Him up, take Him out. but if He come in and gets on a role, He can be tough. We have no reliver that is that much better than Cole. I like Neff because he throws strikes.

Luke is not a good hitter. His stats bear that our too. He is a glove first player with some pop, but a very poor hit tool. He isn't a liability if used correctly though... I think Henderson bats him way too high in the lineup. Let em hit 7th and swing for the fences

It's against message board rules but you look to be correct and I am wrong. MSU website is not giving me numbers, so I just surrender

But I think Cole can be used with a short leash and starting with clean start innings.

It's all subjective BTW. Everyone of their WHIPs is higher than you wold like, so not like any are slam dunks.

To be fair, it's everyone's

I try to be not be; but like everyone, I like some players more than others and see what I want to see at times.
