re: Not worried about the team, but why was Johnson so intent to start Cooper.....

Jay promised Cooper he’d give him a shot. Said it in an interview last week

Exactly. He sucked in his start last year against Tech (whole team stunk it up but regardless) and then became hands down our most reliable arm alongside Gervase. Great fall and spring. He earned it.

I don't think people remember just how little pitching we had last year and how solid Cooper was. He was steady Eddy outside of the 1 start and that last game.
