If Jay and Yeskie thought Herring would be more valuable as a starter than a reliever, he’d have started weeks ago.
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.

Utilization of Griffin Herring is one of the few things that’s worked this year.
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.

Yes. 100%.
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.

Only thing I can come up with is Herring has a certain routine he’s very comfortable with coming in being a reliever compared to actually starting. I don’t get it either you need a sweep bigly right now at this point in the season, start the pitcher that’s been the most consistent for you all year long.

You don’t know this. We all watched the exact same thing happen with Matty Ott a decade ago. He started a game against Alabama I believe, got shelled and was never the same. This isn’t a video game. Pitchers have routines and schedules and extensive prep for the role their accustomed to.

The fact that they started Anderson shows you that had they started Herring they would have inserted Anderson early and tried to get two or three innings out of him. Maybe the baseball gods would have smiled on that, but how does CJJ know that before the game starts?
Same with the shift. A bunch of retards criticize the shift without giving any statistics about where that particular batter usually hits that particular pitch.
