So Poche is taking Sunday? I think Norman's performance will also say a lot of Godfrey can't get comfortable.

At the risk of sounding like a total idiot... Can someone explain to me the big difference in what day a pitcher starts?
People are saying Poche is a better Saturday starter... What difference does it make, other than facing a different pitcher from the other team??? I don't get what qualities distinguish which day a pitcher should throw...

He is giving everyone an opprutunity to get a Friday start. I like it. He said he will revert back to Poche on Fridays for the Houston Classic.
So Poche goes against Houston.

Still early in the season. Now is the time to experiment, so we can have a solid rotation for SEC play. Lange had a very impressive debut, so I like giving him a try at Friday starter.

He said before the season that he was going to do this so that both Lange and Godfrey can get a taste of Friday night.

Everybody wants to win that Friday game and get off to a solid start. With most teams throwing their best guy on Fridays, you usually don't want to have a huge mismatch with your guy if you can help it. Saturday and Sunday then slowly decrease in importance because most teams don't have more than one really good starter.

You want your best pitcher to start on Friday's to go u against the other team's best pitcher.

Yea, PM states this would happen. No surprise
Posted on 2/17/15 at 1:21 pm to CheerWhine
OOC games are the time to experiment some. I'm sure the rotation will be set by league play barring injury and performance issues.

Well I get that but Im seeing a lot of "Poche is better on Saturdays and let Lange take Friday..."
So they are just saying I think Lange is better?? I don't know which is better, just trying to figure out how this gets worked out. I always thought it was pretty clear just go 1, 2, 3 with however the coach sees his starters shaking out

PM said before the season each pitcher would get a Friday start before the Houston classic. Fwiw

Makes sense. So we'll see Lange/Godfrey/Poche against BC, then Godfrey/Poche/Lange against Princeton. My guess is that CPM wants to have everything set by the Houston Classic, so what we see there will likely be our SEC rotation.

No surprise. All of them should get a chance

Ehh... maybe. I think regardless of how Lange looks in these next 2 starts, Mainieri will start Poche vs. Houston just because he will be the only one with prior road experience. I could very well see Lange starting on Friday's sometime during SEC play though.

Other than the reasons discussed (best pitchers earlier in the series), there is some sentiment for jumping between pitching styles to throw off the hitters' timing. For example, if you have two flamethrowers and one junkballer, you might throw the junkballer on Saturday.
In this case, though, I think Manieri just wanted to see the guys pitch on different days.

I am curious to see Norman as well.
