I do think the plan is to enter the regionals ready to go. You want McLeod, Bednar, etc. sharp, but not overworked and wearing out. And we need to get some of the young bullpen arms some innings. So I think they are spreading the innings around so that our top 6 aren’t worn out, and our bottom 6 have gotten some work.
+1 Having out staff fresh down the stretch will pay off. Who knows, maybe in a regional or CWS game we may need someone like Sims to come in and pitch several innings. Plus getting so many young arms some innings will pay off in the future games and years. Smart of the way our coaches are saving arms right now, fact is they aren't needed much to be extended right now, look at our record.
