#33 Preston Brown.
Wow. I hope it works out, but I didn't expect for Cohen to throw Preston into a situation like this. His first ever weekend start being on the opening home SEC series against one of the best teams in the country? This ain't Eastern Illinois.
That being said, if anybody has earned the opportunity, it would have to be Preston. I would just hate if this killed his confidence if he gets shelled. Brown has definitely earned some serious respect up to this point though.
No problem with this move. In fact I like it assuming we know the other 2 starters...which I'm sure we do.
I like it and basically expected it.
He either gets it done or IMO we've got to get Lindgren out of the pen and back into that role for now...
Good. Vandy doesn't lose on Fridays and we don't need to throw RM or TF against Beede
If we lose, and I think we will, it will be because we can't hit Beebe not because Preston gets shelled. I really expect Preston to give us 5+ and give up 2 or less runs.Quote:

Doesn't mean you can't be right, but we've seen nothing from brown against good teams to base any extreme confidence on.Quote:

A loss is a loss. But Will said they don't lose on Fridays....
im pretty sure you knew what he meant. Beede is one of the top 3 pitchers in the country and many believe he will be the number 1 overall pick. He's not gonna lose because of his failures. Maybe a defensive breakdown behind him but certainly not gonna lose very many giving up 0 earned runs.
I know what he meant. And I know he knows that sometimes they get beat on Fridays. It's the fact he beats his sizzle chest all day on something when he gets something right but vanishes when he says something wrong. It's annoying as hell, just like me belaboring the point.
So we should go heads up against Beede?Quote:

0 earned runs and a loss. And not on a Friday but LAST Friday. Do your research.
