    Pilk is great but...

    This may be a sweep. Yes, Pilk will have an ERA at or below 2.00 and a record of 3-9

    That's a good idea. Sunday would be better.

    Need to be mindful of his pitch counts.

    I'd like to have him on Fridays next year not rehabbing.

    Let's see how the rest of the weekend goes. I don't like "conceding" the first game of any series no matter what the situation. The other thing is a lot of SEC aces pitch on Saturday's now for some teams so it may not be a lot to gain there.

    Agree. He gives us a shot to steal one on Friday. Then if we can get a good outing from one of the other two starters we win a series.

    Agree: since every pitcher he faces will have a career night and smash personal Strikeout records, it makes zero sense to cancel out his efforts. Blaine Knight will probably get SEC pitcher of the Week for dominating us. Poche will get a 1st round grade for no-hitting us and striking out 21.

    Why is it written in stone you have to pitch you ace on Friday? In some cases it is better to save Him for Sunday. If we had a team that was scoring lots of runs , Friday would be good. I like Plum on Sat. And Pilk on Sunday and take our chance on Friday.

    Coaches are generally careful of this because you don't want a rainout and only play two games of a series and your ace pitcher never takes the mound.

    It's a slippery slope. What kind of message does it send your team to essentially concede every Friday game? I don't know how a coach could sell that strategy, especially a month into the season.

    What? We started Lindgren on Saturdays and intended to start Woodruff on Fridays. When Lindgren struggled we moved Graveman up.

    Look again... starting march 30th, graveman threw 3 straight complete games on Saturdays vs ark, Florida, and aTm. Luis pollorana was Friday

    I never disagreed about Graveman moving up obviously. It's still different and I disagree with your overall opinion. We moved Graveman up because he did well. Not because we pussed out because we didn't think we would any games on Friday.
