BB G1 Final : Louisiana 8, James Madison 10

[ZoomZoom]

On the up side, thru 3, no walks, no HBP. 1 error allowed a free runner. All runs given up are earned; at least no freebies scored.

It looks like it doesn't matter who they throw on Fridays. Sigh

Everyone has a Friday guy…

Let us give Rawls a full week of rest and see how he does on Friday. We will need that with the CC, Texas State, and USM series to close the season.

I hear ya re:
Nickel and diming Rawls …
I am just not a fan of starting someone that has thrown twice already in the prior five days. That is getting hot in the pen twice … throwing 61 pitches … before starting on Friday. As you know, your pitches will simply not be as sharp.

Still early for the offense … and there have been some big missed opportunities. But was not a fan of starting Rawls tonight.

Still early for the offense, but it is getting late for Rawls. Dude sure has thrown thrown a bunch this week already. Might have been an optomistic start

Another cheap hit over the left field wall.

Haha. Did you have that typed up and saved for when they hit one hard?

Our superpower is lowering opposing Friday starter ERA’s

Agree. I asked about that Tuesday night. Probably would have been a good idea to bump him to Sunday and move the others up a day

I am not a fan of that either ... as it messes with two pitchers' routines ... Nezuh and McGehee. I think that once you threw Rawls on Tuesday in Baton Rouge (three outs of stress pitches), you have made the decision not to start Rawls this weekend ... but use him in a key relief situation. You then start him the following weekend.

Especially after David Christie is not available until at least Sunday.

Take him out!

Agreed.
