No way in hell Rawls starts twice in a weekend. That's just ridiculous.

Remember the Jay Johnson conversation last week? I'm concerned we are going in that direction and that will make it even harder to recruit good pitchers.

I was told on Monday that neither Rawls, Nezuh, MeGehee nor Christie would pitch on the two weekday games and that Brock would not be rested.

Rawls, Nezuh and Christie pitched and Wargo took some innings to rest Brock.

I don’t see a senecio where our pitching doesn’t get absolutely rocked.

Heart says 2/3 but my brain says we’d be doing good to go 1/2.

Hearing it is a big possibility. I hope Deggs understands how the fanbase is receiving these decisions. If it works, it’ll still raise eyebrows. If it fails… he may lose some supporters.

Totally agree. LSU has been exposed with their lack of pitching depth. Getting through a tournament with that issue is not good. Over here, we not only don't recruit above average arms, we don't develop what we do have.

I just think it's absolutely foolish to even think of this scenario at this point in the season. This is what you call realizing that you have barely mediocre pitching after 43 frickin games. It's mind boggling.

.at the first sign of trouble. The Committee is undefeated.

Not sure that is even possible. The one thing supporting it is the success of the Rays in MLB. They can't afford starters.

I am confused at the state of college pitching. MLB cut back on the draft, forcing more players to college. Yet, ERA's seem like they are higher than ever. Coastal is 6.47. We lead the league at 4.72 after years and years under 4. Every Sun Belt team sucks at pitching. We just suck a little less.

Sun Belt Average Team ERA

2017: 4.81
2018: 4.83
2019: 5.39
2020: 4.03 (COVID Season)
2021: 4.92
2022: 5.34
2023: 6.03

Other than for the victory against LSU, the rotations used the last two weekends has not worked. As a result of the games dropped, it is now highly unlikely that we will be fortunate enough to gain a post season bid other than to do what golf did yesterday.

What better way to shake things up this weekend and try something different than to set the rotation up by committee and then have the determined rotation to finish out the season and the conference tournament determined by the results from the committee system.

While it may be somewhat unorthodox, maybe that is what is needed at this point.

One thing that is sure is that coming here and completely dismissing the process certainly will not help.

Let’s show up at Russo and support our boys, whoever is on the mound.
