Who to pitch Friday?

[slickdawg]

Kendall would be the obvious choice, but if we use him, I don't know he can recover in time for the 3 games championship series.

If we have to face Indiana - Pollo is a fastball guy, they will hit him well.

If we have to face OSU - They've already seen Kendall.

Let Cox or Gentry start with a really short leash, then Ross ?

[msstate7]

How about lindgren with a short leash? Not sure who I would go with.

[I seen it dawg]

If you go Kendall Friday he will pitch again before this thing is over, he's available for championship series. If you skip him Friday you only get for really one more outing. The only other way he pitches is in some kind of short relief role. I think you have to pitch him Friday and then he can start game 2 or 3.

I think you've gotta try Lindy with a short leash, go straight to Ross, then let Bracewell finish.

[SaltyDawg]

I think you have to go Graveman, regardless of opponent.

[TexasDawg]

I think you've gotta try Lindy with a short leash, go straight to Ross, then let Bracewell finish.

I think this is the way to go right here

[J-Dawg]

Graveman and keep his pitches down unless he is just absolutely dealing. Then Ross/Bracewell/Holder.

not spitting in the face of someones religion? A bit insensitive, no? Are you just trying to be an ass?

[SaltyDawg]

The season is 2 games long at this point. Graveman (our best option as a starter) needs to throw one of those games. If he throws the first game he has an opportunity to come back for championship series- assuming we make it.

To be fair, I practice a religion that worships Marco Rubio. It is a sin to take his name in vain. It is also a sin to display his Most Holy image in public. You are breaking both the 4th and 11th commandments handed down by his Most Holy Padre Rubio.

Please change your username and avatar as well. Or, just grow a pair. It's the internet.

I'm sorry science offends you. troll. This is not the correct board for that.

Good grief.

[Goat Holder]

He's trying to be an ass.

[Will James]

I'd be down to see Lindgren get a shot.

[Goat Holder]

Graveman all day. Not even a choice.

[Bo Darville]

I'd be down to see Lindgren get a shot.

I might be also. A lot would depend on how he has thrown in bullpen sessions the last week or two. The one problem is if you are going to use Graveman, I would rather use him Friday rather than Saturday. I do not want to lose Friday without Graveman, then burn Graveman on Saturday.

[SheltonChoked]

I think you have to look at the rest of the bracket as well as the opponent. We will play Friday. Then maybe Saturday , Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That's maybe 5 games in 6 days. I thnk we have to be ready to throw everyone.

I'd like to see us pitch everyone and have a short leash and a pitch count (40-50).

Friday - Graveman (vs IU) or Bracewell (vs OSU) / Ross / Holder
Saturday - Fitts (or Graveman or Bracewell) /Girodo / Holder

Monday - Pollo or Fitts or Bracewell or Lindgen / Ross / Holder
Tuesday - ???
Wednesday - Johnny Wholestaff

He's trying to be an ass.

More like he's just affirming that he is an ass. He doesn't have to try. **

In my opinion we will need more from the SP in a CWS best of 3 played on consecutive days. Lindgren, when on, is easily our most effective starter. He gives up less fly balls than Kendall. Starting Kendall On Friday makes me doubt his effectiveness going on Mon OR Tues. that would only be 2 and 3 days rest. We have to start looking at what will give us the best chance to win it all.

Therefore I feel that Graveman has to throw Game 1 Monday, hopefully against a non-ace. Advantage State. Then we come back with Fitts/Pollo for game 2 vs their ace and pray, and Game 3 again with our best guy if he's on Lindgren who will be well rested against a non-ace and hopefully depleted pen.

So I say Lindgren Friday. Graveman Monday. Fitts/Pollo Tues. Lindgren Wed.
