Msu-Osu part 2

Wouldn't gentrys performance against South Carolina drop your 100% number a bit? I mean there was nothing but a gut feeling there. That is what coaches do. They have inside info on players and their abilities in situations based on their opponent that us message boarders don't have. Excuse me for a second....I have to go remove my contacts. Slept in them last night.

I quit reading about halfway up, but in my opinion Will is correct. It MAY work out for them if they start Fry, but it WOULD be a dumb call if Moore is healthy, rested and on their bench. Could you imagine us going into a win or go home scenario with a rested Graveman, and starting Woodruff, Preston Brown, or John Mark Shelly right now? No. That is what you are essentially saying though.

John Cohen is "a coach that knows his team" too, but that doesn't mean everything he does is a "smart" move. It's quite Jeanspage to throw the "he's a coach so he knows more than you" phrase out as a defense to your point. This is a message board full of opinions. Either back shit up with facts and stats or whatever else you can find, or admit you may be wrong. I know it's popular to bash Will James and his stats....he definitely has some that are useless in my opinion. But at least it's SOMETHING to back his argument. Fry's k/bb ratio means nothing to me....but the fact that Moore is their Saturday starter and is 14-1 on the year with a sub 1.50 ERA tells me they would be insane to go into an elimination game without starting him. There is no tomorrow so saving him is DUMB. It doesn't take a lot of stats in this argument to know that.

But, hey, just my opinion.

[Will James]

Agreed. But someone who has a different opinion on who to pitch than Will (or a different opinion than you, me, whoever) isn't necessarily an idiot or a moron. If one guy says Graveman and the other says Pollo, there might be merit on both sides.

Absolutely. But I was debating Fry vs Moore most of this thread. Starting Fry would, in my less than humble opinion, be moronic.

99.78458% moronic.

[Spider-Man]

I would be very surprised if Moore doesn't start this afternoon.

I agree Will. I can't fathom starting a guy with 4 inning of work in an elimination game.

[Will James]

And Moore is the starter. Damn.

[FlabLoser]

Its all good. So what. We're focused.



According to the worldwide leader in sports, we don't give a damn who the other team has.

[TexasDawg]

Moore- Gave up a hit to 39% of hitters he faced, while giving up 4 earned runs on 4.2 IP

Fry- Gave up a hit to 18% of hitters he faced, while giving up 0 earned runs on 3.1 IP

Just thought these were interesting stats
