Why is that even a question, much less "the real question"?

I think that Kenny Powers may still be available for them - he could be a problem

MacLeod and the bats. Get decent run support and about 5 strong from Mac, we should be in good shape. Short outing for Mac and only 2-3 runs won't cut it
-
As others have stated, we need Mac to go at the minimum 5. The big thing with Will doing what he did was it allowed us to save Preston, Brandon Smith, Stinnett, and Simmons. So the bullpen outside of Landon is fully rested. A perfect world would be Mac for 6, Preston for 1+, Brandon to finish the 8th if needed, and on to Landon in the 9th.

I think Brandon Smith has to drop down in the bullpen rotation. He hasn't been the same since he came back from that early season issue with his arm.

I agree. He's supposed to have sink but he's given up quite a few nukes lately

Yeah doesn't have the same movement on any of his pitches. His pitches just haven't had the same quality since he came back from that sore arm earlier in the season. Right now it scares me if he has to come into a close game.

Sims can definitely give us an inning or two if needed. If we're up 7, sure, try to avoid throwing him. But if we're up and it's at all close, he has to be ready to go.
But you don't throw Harding in that game unless you feel it absolutely necessary. Game 2 is bigger than Game 3, but it would still be fantastic to be able to win and let Harding go in the next one.
And the more I look at it, the more I have no idea who UVA will throw. It looks like Vasil only threw 1 inning of relief in the SR, so maybe they've moved on from him as a starter. And McGarry has pitched well at times but has also been very dicey at times. So they may go with him, but if they do, I like our chances. I like our chances regardless if MacLeod is even somewhat on.

He turned them down per Maineri.
And sims threw 51 pitches. Not 60.

Yea, his effectiveness is directly related to can he get sink on the ball. If it's not him then you're only other options are Stinnett and Patrick. Patrick scares me a lot more than Stinnett. He's good for a HR allowed per appearance. Might could throw Cade Smith out there if we had a comfortable lead. Looked good against ND, although it was a low leverage situation.
-
Good news is we got absolutely nothing from Allen and Tanner and very little from rowdey. Let them get a hit or two a piece and our offense is totally different. I like our chances. The win in game 1 and the opponent game 2 are vastly different than in 19.

MacLeod, Preston Johnson,Stone Simmons and Stinnett would be the guys I use tomorrow. Come on Mac, pound the zone.

If Luke isn't looking to drive the ball, might as well go Hatcher. I mean tell the dude to cut the shit and drive the ball to the gap. I am tired of our 1st basemen slapping at it.

Luke is easily one of our best offensive players

I saw the interview with him. He is funny but is he supposed to be really good?
