Pitching roles after today....

[StarkVegasSteve]

Foxhall would sign up for 5 innings out of all 3 starters today. He's hoping for 5-6.

That is precisely what worries me. We are again going to have to HEAVILY rely on a bullpen that, while talented, is unproven in this league. I mean Dohm is electric on the radar gun, but what is he going to do when the lights are on and 12K are in the stands on a Friday night. Nixon was great as a freshman but after the debacle at TTU last year he was never the same so which Nixon do you get. Cjintje and Loftin are UBER talented, but they are freshman. Tyler Davis is another one that while he has done at this level he has not done it in this atmosphere.

That's a different topic. You said you need your Friday and Saturday guys to go 7 innings. That's not going to be the case with this team. We don't have a Bednar or a Sims. It's going to be get 5 innings out of the starters, maybe 6 and then bullpen by committee. From what I've seen Gartman can eat innings. Cade can eat innings at times. And Tyler Davis has a little Houston Harding about him. Then you have guys like Dohm, Nixon, Holcomb, Yntema, Hunt, Kohn, Stinnett, etc. Get ready for a lot of pitching changes and possibly some long games this year. Foxhall is going to have to manage his ass off.
