    If I’m NC State, I run his pitch count way up as quick as possible. Get him out of the game…

    This is actually a really smart move. It's do or die, there is no tomorrow, so you're not saving him for anything. You know you want him on the mound at some point so you might as well go ahead and send him out and let him go as long as he can. That way you maximize his impact on the game.

    If you hold him back, what are you holding him back for? To get the lead, or wait so he can close it? Why?

    If we got shelled early today and didn't throw Sims, I would advocate doing the same with him tomorrow.

    Smootness coming in again with the big-brained take.

    They have shown pitch count doesn't mean crap. So ...... laying off that cutter or whatever he calls it is easier said than done
