I'm not privy to what Oak and Parker are seeing every day in the lab, bullpen sessions, etc. But if Foster is coming along, I might give him another chance to start. I feel like there is a solid starter inside of him somewhere, we just have to find it.

Better than the lab, watch his Sunday stint from the Bullpen.
He had one-smooth inning with favorable counts and then he was getting in trouble and could not finish a 2nd inning.
Hit a dude, walked a dude, and then an RBI single. Then a Vandy kid bunted and made contact with the ball. That little gift kept Vandy from having a big inning. BOC pulled him before a 3-run HR was hit.

Sully can maybe give you a few mid week innings but he would get hammered in SEC play.

He doesn?t trust his fastball. Apparently just not enough movement with it. He throws a lot of breaking balls out of the zone and when he gets behind, he will still throw the off speed stuff. He has got to throw the breaker and change for strikes to set up the fastball.
Last week, the Arkansas pitchers were consistently throwing first pitch breaking balls for strikes and kept getting ahead. We will need someone with similar control in the starter role #3.

Likely another start for Maddox Miller but guess we will see.

It's Chris Billingsley getting the start die MSU.

Nope it's Billingsly. Looks like BOC wants to add a challenge at the start of the game tomorrow

Definitely risky. Hope it works out.

Billingsly has the talent and a high upside. He'll be on a short leash, but if he can gain some confidence he can push for the Sunday SPer role.

Very risky. Probably will be a bullpen game anyway but we could start off in a hole if CB doesn't have his control.

If we're going to pitch a guy that we know is likely to give up runs I would much rather that happen in the first inning vs say the 7th or 8th innings.
I get why fans are like WTF? with this decision but at the same time I see Parker and BOC's perspective. Billingsley is going to pitch anyway probably so get it out of the way early.
Plus, we get to see if there is a chance he could start games for us.

I don't get the paranoia with this move. He's a very talented kid and unlike SOME of our staff, has actually shown improvement! We've got to actually let some of our pitchers develop outside of the pen to know what we have. And we're gonna need depth as the season moves along. Get busy living or get busy dying.....but do so quickly. I like it.
