UL uncertain on game one starting pitcher

[CajunAmos]

I would assume Houston will throw there Saturday or Sunday guy, vs. HBU. If so they have options. They lost there best starter early in the season, but were able to put together a Fri/Sat/Sun group that on paper looks pretty tough. There options are:

Romero 2.15 ERA 7-4 record 7 starts Sunday Starter
Lantrip 2.50 ERA 8-3 record 15 starts Friday Starter
Dowdy 2.62 ERA 9-2 record 11 starts Saturday Starter
Longville 2.95 ERA 5-2 record 10 starts Weekday Starter

Their depth is probably why they were an early season top 5 team.

Rice starters stack up like this, FWIW:

McCanna 3.05 ERA 7-3 record in 14 starts Saturday Starter
Stephens 3.12 ERA 6-4 record in 9 starts Friday Starter
Fox 3.34 ERA 8-2 record in 14 starts Sunday Starter

other option:
Orewiler 2.63 ERA 5-1 record in 7 starts Weekday Starter/relief guy
Otto 1.56 ERA 2-0 record in 2 starts Weekday starter/relief guy

It's either Evan or Wyatt per Jay (per Tony).

And it's Evan or Wyatt on Saturday also.

Which then leads to Gunner to pitch Sunday.

I really love this. Reminds me of 2000 at South Carolina in the Super.

How many 3 seeds in America are holding their ace until Sunday? How many 3 seeds truly believe they can win the thing?

I promise you this: the Ragin' Cajuns do.

This thing is very wide open.

Is that what she said?

The problem is that you are already messing with the rotation, Leger is out, so you don't have him on Friday. Again Marks might not be fully ready anyway, which leaves Guillory. Nothing against Guillory, but it is like last year, I would not have wanted Boutte on Friday either, I liked him as a Sunday guy, but not against someone else's ace. Regardless win or lose we are set up for another run through the losers bracket if Millhorn pitches, and if he win's, then I really like our chances all the way through.

Rice isn't going to throw their ace. No offense to Cody B, but Evan is a better pitcher. He started the season as a Friday night guy, and really was not bad; Gunner just kept getting better and better. I would also not be surprised if it's Milly. I, like Tony, believe firmly in Greg Milhorn. Always have.

Per Buckley.. Evan or Wyatt on Friday, Bacon available for long relief Friday and Greg long relief for Saturday..

I don't think I've ever seen a more wide open regional.

Is that confirmed?
