I wonder if Bianco wishes he would've pulled Hoglund in earlier innings to maybe not wear his arm out but to also "develop" more pitching for the better teams in America at season's end? But kudos to Nikhazy, who definitely had an electric year but is now sitting at home as the short-game was chosen by Bianco.

I wonder if Manieri wishes he would've not pitched Jaden Hill so much early in the season when winning every game really didn't matter, which came at the expense of not developing additional pitching. Again, the short-game was chosen by Manieri.

I like to think that by Lemonis & Foxhall choosing to play the long game with our pitching staff, we've develop our pitching so that we can make a run... we'll see.
That's why we sometimes lose to a mid major like Kent State or Belmont early in the year and those schools tend to not do that as often. Yeah we could leave someone in like Bednar for 120 and get a win over Tulane in February but we would pay for it in June. Teams can afford a few early "bad" losses because in the SEC there is time to make it up. Especially when you win 20 SEC games.
