    Problem is: AB struggles a bit in 1st innings. Wallace pretty much doesn't. If "a good start" is what you're after, I believe you want Jordan in the circle.

    But Stefni's not calling me for my opinion, and that's probably for the best.

    I'll put my money on either one. I really think we're going to roll through this thing. I'm probably wrong, but I think we're going to roll.

    If you roll with jordan gm 1 and 3, if necessary, ASU will have faced her three times.

    That's an awful lot for a batter and they can begin to figure you out.

    Yes Ash has been hit up early on in a few games this year, but we laid some smack on Escobedo. They wont have an idea with Brignac.

    As far as her injuries, she's held up fine. And in my mind we wont need her in gm 3 after wallace throws a 2-hit shutout.

    I like this train of thought! Just called and ordered my EsPN U subscription!

    You can't manage a series like this like a fan. We're all optimistic. You have to plan your moves in a "what is the worst that can happen? How will we handle it?" mindset. It's no secret that Jordan Wallace can throw a higher number of quality innings in a 36 hour period than AB can. It's just pragmatic. If AB can win game 1 and JW can win game 2, then JW can win game 1 and AB can win game 2. But I'm not sure we win the series counting on AB's arm twice. It's not personal. It's the physical limitations she's dealt with for a while now.

    I doubt these Devils are going to figure out either of these pitchers. So it probably doesn't matter. I don't expect any of these games to be close. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I think it's going to be a cakewalk.

    The difference this year from previous years is our hitting. Forget the pitching. We will be ok with either and that will not decide these games. Our bats will be the determining factor. Don't bet against red unless you plan on losing some money. I think we visit OKC but anything can happen.

    Exactly what I said going into this weekend. Both pitchers are great. We hit the ball and we win! AB - JW - AB or JW - AB - JW.... It doesn't even matter. The fact we roll with two solid pitchers is a huge plus!

    Well I'd get to the drug store and get some butt-paste, cause it's coming. Especially when Ashley pitches.

    I didn't remember any. But yeah, that's another reason to start JW Thursday. AB is prone to the illegal pitch on the big stage. Not sure why, but it is what it is.

    My opinion will generally be biased as a Cajun fan, but it did seem to me like the illegal pitch calls last year in Austin were primarily called on pitches of great importance. I'd like to see numbers, but I seem to remember a lot of them being called with 2 strikes. Seemed a sketchy to me.... Just saying
