It just doesn’t make any sense to me. I don’t understand why Jay refuses to start his best pitcher, especially in a game 3 when he hasn’t been used.

0.87 ERA in SEC play vs a 16.88 ERA in SEC play, and the 16.88 ERA got the start.

my only thought is Anderson has shown promise starting but looked rough as a reliever. Even mid week.

Herring has shown he doesn’t need a full starter routine to be good.


I still would have started herring

Don’t know but I’m sure he will figure out.

Both were getting used.

If we started Herring we probably win, if we hadn’t shifted and had horrendous positioning we would be winning.

This shouldn't be lost when talking Anderson's start. 1-0 vs 6-0 because of shite shift decisions.

Different game if we don’t shift and they have less runs if Pearson wasn’t positioned in left center vs a righty.

I’m not even saying Anderson pitched bad, but starting a guy who has not been good at all in SEC play over your statistically best pitcher in SEC play makes no sense to me. Instead, your best pitcher came in the 2nd inning down 5-0.

It's the way Jay wanted it.

Cue Fredo... It's not how I wanted it!!

Anderson got screwed by coach alignments. Definitely would have made it thru tied at 1 instead of being down 3-1 if it weren't for Johnson's idiotic shifts.

Herring can only pitch half the game and he’d rather him do it on the backend. He has said many times he wants one of his top pitchers in this type of role, and it is Herring for him

Herring is a reliever. Anderson is a starter.

I understand he isn’t going to pitch the whole game. I don’t understand why you would want to wait until you are possibly behind to bring him in. We needed a sweep today and threw it away because we wanted to keep guys in their “roles”. And we really didn’t even do that because Herring was brought in to start the 2nd inning.

Why can’t Herring be a starter?

Does Koki or somebody have the balls to ask CJJ in post-game?

Jaques you out there?

Also ask about playing the shift?

Story of the season. Coaching decisions, rushed at bats from your leaders and swinging at balls cost this team a sweep.

One bad inning from the staff over the entire weekend.

1 thru 5 in the order had two hits today against the worst staff in the conference. Not a fan of Jay over managing, but its on the hitters today,
