Currently scheduled for 30 minutes after the conclusion of game 1 Saturday so I guess technically it is TBA.

I believe he is speaking of the Cajuns' starting pitcher.

Yes. The "Brendan Moody still pitches every Wednesday but has been a reliable weekend starter" controversy. We'll see how it goes.

I think by moving the game to Saturday, we may not see what Coach Deggs was hoping to happen. Only time will tell.

THis is correct. Moving the game up to Saturday will challenge the pitching, especially the guys who threw on Wednesday.

Is it really that difficult to throw 27 pitches on a Wednesday and then start a game on Saturday?

And Fluno pitched one inning Wednesday and threw 19. That shouldn’t have any affect on his availability this weekend.

I would guess Ray (40 pitches) and Rawls (45) may not pitch, depending on their personal recovery rates, but Robe used to say that he wanted his pitchers to have one hour of rest for each pitch thrown. Going by that, either of them, or both, should be available Saturday if needed.

I would guess Ray and Rawls probably won’t pitch but Robe used to say that he wanted his pitchers to have one hour of rest for each pitch thrown. Going by that, maybe either of them could give something in game 3 Saturday evening if needed.

Still have a suspicion that you see Sam Hill in game 3...
