Pitching Rotation Set
Friday- McPherson
Saturday- Foster
Sunday- Valinciucs

-
So as I mentioned in a thread I started earlier- we are going to roll one of our Top 2 out there vs UCLA

If we are truly trying to set up Valenciua for UCLA and that means he?s the #1?
Does that mean McPhearson is the Sunday starter?
Because if we are doing that, wouldn?t you leave McPhearson Saturday?
-
I doubt we would set our rotation based on 1 game. ASU and VT are more than capable opponents.

McPherson pitched better in the spring. He won the one. Not saying there's a huge gap. But this isn't bc of ucla. Trust me.

I wish I could get in the coach’s heads and find out what they consider the true pecking order is at this time.

Oak doesn't play favorites. He's basing off how they've performed this spring.

Unless I’m not reading you right, has Foster pitched well enough to grab the #2 spot? Maybe Valincius was just out of his mind that day against FSU but he looked like he was going to be No. 1 without much debate.

Gotcha. I was meaning that I was curious about whether or not it was setup to match against ucla or if it was the legit rotation at this point.

I think it's really close. ... foster was supposedly good this spring. Think it's a reward. I thought McPherson was going to be the one from the get go. Now he's got to earn it to keep it.

Yeah I don't think this has one single thing to do w ucla at all.

We're not.
And again, we have potential. But none of it is proven yet. We dont have a single arm that has been a frontline guy in this league. We have to see how guys throw when it matters.

Maybe/Maybe not. But at the end of the day the guy we thought would be the #1 or #2- is going on Sunday and will likely be the guy that takes the mound vs UCLA

Yet they are unranked whereas UCLA is #1 in the country
