It's the only viable option.
Rex, you've been saying this point all night and I don't know how nicely to say this...
You have no idea what you're talking about, and there's zero percent chance that Lemonis does that.
Its gonna be Harding. You can bet the house on it
When I didn't think you could say anything dumber......
I'm 100% positive this is will James no doubt. This is the clincher.
Doesn't really matter because if we start Sims we're bringing in Hooty anyway.
It's going to be Hooty and it should be.
It?s not a bad option. If he can give you 3 or 4 and you put some runs on the board then hope the pen can do what they did tonight you win.
Then Wednesday you try to get 3 from hoot and 3 from bednar and piece the last three together.
Our pen shut them down tonight. As bad as the lost sucks we have some things to hold our hat on. We just have to throw strikes and hit the ball.
Hoping for 5 from Hootie.
So glad to see Brandon Smith and Fristoe looking strong again. Same for Hunt.
Will had some bb knowledge. This guy is cluelessQuote:

NOW, it won’t happen, will be Hootie but just know he is not on full rest. Sims more than likely will be our Friday guy next year, he can do it. This is a win or die situation so it is a valid move. If you can get to Wednesday you will start Bednar against Rocker. I personally like Bednar against Rocker better than Fristoe or someone against Rocker. ALTHOUGH if and a big if we can save Sims tomorrow and even better deal would be Sims vs Rocker. Sims will have full rest on Wednesday
Like I said above that is a BIG IF, I don’t think we win tomorrow without Sims touching the rubber. And Bednar on not full rest won’t be what we have seen the last 2 outings. He won’t be Mac but he won’t be Bednar of the past week either.
I'm done w the sims starting part. But rocker will be on one more days rest than Bednar. His pitch count will be higher. Period. It's been higher all year wo more rest
To have a legit shot, we have to save sims or only use him 1 inning tomorrow imoQuote:

Can't manage the game like that at this point in the season.Quote:

I assumed he would go pro this year. Is he not draft eligible yet?Quote:

I actually hate to admit that I kind of agree with Rex here, but I do. I don't think it would be the worst thing to start Landon and let him go as long as he can and then go with Hooty and let Preston try to close it. Not saying we'll do it because I fully believe Houston starts but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start Landon.
