If Ackenhausen starts those Sunday games, JJ needs to chill and not be too quick to pull him.

You say this, but Ack has a history of falling apart very quickly. Think of all of the late inning losses we have where Ack was 2 innings of shut out ball in and then walk walk double. People scream at the rooftops that JJ left him in too long.

What we really need the next two weekends is to not have to use Herring until Sunday. That's really your best bet. Flip things around and use Ack in relief on Friday if you're up by at least 3 runs.
