If Jay and Yeskie thought Herring would be more valuable as a starter than a reliever, he’d have started weeks ago. Utilization of Griffin Herring is one of the few things that’s worked this year.

Serious question, do you think there is a big difference between starting the game and coming in to start the 2nd inning?


Yes. 100%.

No shite. I disagree. Also, starting him today wouldn’t have kept him from continuing to be a reliever if that’s what they want.

I’m on record saying I have agreed with how they used him in the beginning of the season. That’s when we were trying to win 1/3 or guarantee any win we can. We are in a much different situation right now.

You’re right. Starting a game guarantees a clean situation. If a reliever is brought in to start the 2nd inning, you have likely already screwed yourself and the situation is much worse.
