Pilkington starting tomorrow

[CadaverDawg]

[preachermatt83]

Anything else would be dumb

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Crap. This regional is now over.

[CadaverDawg]

Anything else would be dumb

I would've been stunned if he wasnt

[HoopsDawg]

So dumb. Oh well.

[Choctaw Dawg]

offense needs to show up early so we can get him out early, i'm talking like 12-0 early. But UIC is no slouch and we have our work cut out for us

Our offense couldn't score 12 runs against Pisgah right now

This should be proof to everyone it's the wrong move.

[I seen it dawg]

This should be proof to everyone it's the wrong move.

So what's the right move?

[MarketingBully]

This makes sense. You are now in the elimination round where you play every game like it is your last. You start the guy who gives you the best chance to win.

[Choctaw Dawg]

Yep, we gotta score some runs some kind of bad tomorrow though

[Johnson85]

So what's the right move?

The right move could be starting pill in the first game. The right move could be starting pilk in the first game after we win a game. I have a little trouble figuring out how starting pilk in tomorrow's game could be the right move.

I don't get the wait until game 3.

[Todd4State]

I don't get the wait until game 3.

I don't either.

[Dawg61]

So what's the right move?

Pilk has to start game 2. Bats need to show up tomorrow too. 3 runs vs that trash USA pitcher is all kinds of embarrassing.

Lol yep

Starting him tomorrow seems like an admission that not starting him today was a mistake. The reason you save him is you think you need to win a game without him. We still need to win the same number of games now as we did this morning. True, we'll get to go against somebody's number three if we win tomorrow, but that would have been the case if we had won the first and lost the second, so if that's the logic you go all out to stay on the winners bracket.

So save him til game 5...

[lamont]

Starting Pilk against a 4-seed's #2 basically ends your chances of winning the Regional. It's a no-brainer to start Denver against UIC.

Totally disagree with this move. So what you win Game 2 but lose Game 3? You have accomplished nothing

The whole strategy behind holding him back is if your Gordon screws up the first game you almost guarantee yourself a chance to get through the first round of the loser's bracket and at that point you're throwing your three against someone else's three. So, it's almost a wash. You're basically gambling at getting a big advantage because if our guys hadn't screwed up tonight we almost guarantee ourselves a spot in the regional final. If it gets screwed up, it's almost like you threw your number one and lost game two anyway.
