re: Mainieri's Starters in SECt Openers--a Primer

What Vandy did in 2009, has nothing to do with what we will do Tuesday.

It gives insight in to Mainieri's decision making. Are you really suggesting that what Mainieri has done previously isn't relevant in divining why he is doing what he's indicated he is going to do Tuesday? On what basis are you excluding over a decade of data points, including one where he knew Vandy was going to start their top arm and still chose his third arm?

If Mainieri's actual decision making in the past isn't relevant, what data are you using to indicate he will do something differently than he has done his entire time here?
