That's what is frustrating to me sometimes. Same thing with Trysten Barlow and Riley Self in Omaha in 2019 against Vanderbilt when we should have used Colby White who is now one of the Rays top prospects. Both Barlow and Self had been struggling and both ended up getting shelled against Vandy. Losing to Vandy put us in the loser's bracket and helped put us in a bad position and then we ended up being eliminated the next game.

Give Stinnett and Tullar an opportunity to work through things in a blow out like today or against a SWAC team.
I don't mind them giving them another shot this early in the season. And those 2 should've been able to get nku out but they didn't execute. Now they've had their chances and it's time to give someone else their innings on the weekends. They can get some innings against some of the weaker mid week teams now. I like the fact we're finding out this early who can and who can't. One outing isn't enough and you can't base this year on what someone did last year. But I agree it's time for them to take a backseat now. Stone and Pico have looked great and Auger has good stuff. Brandon Smith looked sharp today and when his sinker is working he's tough. If tepper can harness his command his stuff is electric. I've got lot of confidence in Foxhall and Lemonis finding the right combos.
