I'm sick of these "Pitcher by Committee" games...in SEC play! I can understand it in mid-week games, but during SEC play? We all know (including the opposing coach and team) that our current #3 starter (Cartwright) is only going 3-4 innings and even if he is on, the opposing team will have their shot at 3-4 more pitchers, one of which just might have a bad day and be the difference in the game.

I'm going with Bouman. He was the #2 until he slipped on that baseball and sprained his ankle, and just doesn't seem to have been given a fair shake since. Only spot duty in relief.

That said...who ya got?

Yeah, that's exactly what CPM is trying to do, but every guy he tries out gets shelled. He could just leave AC or KB in there until the eighth inning when we're down by 11. That seems to be your strategy. Fortunately CPM has managed it better, and we've managed to steal a couple of those Sunday games.

To be fair last night was AC's first bad outting. True it might have gotten worse at times if he left him in longer, but he also could have stretched it out a few times when he was pulled early.

We don't have one.

Sometimes there is no right answer.

I was hoping he would use Bouman or Cartwright on saturday from now on Poche will have a better chance against their 3rd best pitcher

Wrong.

CPM was concerned about asking Cartwright to turn around on four days rest, so he pitched him a day earlier.

On a side note...how do I fix my avatar pic? I resized it and the site accepted it, but it won't show up...only a space below my name and info. Any thoughts?

Only ask because several of u that responded have one...

He had a private bullpen session with Russian and CPM.
