I tend to agree. But his only start in 3 months he was shelled by mizzou. He did have good starts against usm and Ull early in the season though. I think people just remember the Mizzou start bc of recency bias.

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.

I dont think we will see Fristoe again this season. Let him get to the Cape and see if he can fix some things. He's all over the place right now and cant be trusted in these games with everything on the line

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.

For all the rh lh talk, I think Harding is better against a heavy rh lineup due to his change up. It's an elite pitch. His breaking ball is avg.
