    There's no need to figure out who to start before bringing in Harding. Just start Harding. This all stems from some rumor that we think he's better out of the pen, but we have clear data and he's very good in either role. So just start him, there's no need to complicate it.

    Actually he may be doing better because they start a right hander and the lineup is set for them.

    Lemonis can start any hard throwing righty and them go to him, it's been working for Houston why change him when what needs changing is the starting right hander and Lemonis does have several options.

    I like starting a Righty then go to a long Lefty middle reliever and back to a Righty (hopefully Sims) closing. Any adjustments made during the came to deal with Houston will haunt them vs Sims or other Righty.

    It's not complicating things for nothing. I will trust Lemonis and Foxhall to get it right.

    The key with Harding is how much shuffling does ND or any team do with Right/Lefty match-ups. If their line-up is about the same? Start Harding. If they make 2-3 switches for match-ups- start Simmons or a Cade to go a couple of innings and then bring on Harding.

    Yeah, that would be a good strategy.
