Lemonis used to prefer his pitchers going multiple innings since they were already warmed up, which often "burned" them for the rest of the SEC weekend. Other coaches prefer a true hierarchy of a bullpen with defined roles - a 7th inning long reliever getting to the setup guy in the 8th inning that turns it over to the closer.

It used to drive me nuts when Sims would close out and save Friday night's game and be "burned" for the rest of the SEC weekend. Only as we approached late season and post season would he get the chance to take the mound multiple times on the weekend and sometimes not even then (remember the 1st loss to Texas in Omaha with Landon on the bench in extra innings?). For the record, Lem seemingly treated most of the RPers the same way of one and done for the weekend.

How do we think Oak will prefer to handle his pitchers?
